Nathan is on level nine of ten and has a ball weight, a tongue clip with chain to the nipples, shackles on his ankles, a weight belt around the hip, a collar that keeps his head from turning, cuffs keeping his wrists together in front of him, a short string from collar to cuffs to dick to ankles, and a nipple chain with six gems.
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
I figured out what the ninth floor would be long before I set foot into it. The icy winds gave it away. With a deep sigh, I stepped into the door frame to an ice cavern. The setup looked unusually elaborate so I allowed myself a minute to take it all in before I would set foot inside.
The cave was about as big as a hotel lobby, or a dining hall – not massive, but sizable. Walls and roof were jagged, blue ice but the bottom was covered with perfectly clear ice instead. Under the layer of fully transparent ice were big metal tiles.
Distributed across the place were six small, empty pillars, poking through the clear ice.
I took a step onto the ice and sank.
I had been wrong. It wasn't clear ice, it was completely still, crystal clear water. And it was as cold as it could possibly be.
Sunken into the liquid up to the knees, I trembled on the spot. There was no point in waiting around and I certainly didn't want to.
The nearest pillar was only a few steps away so I made my way there. Once I stood before it, nothing happened. I rounded the pole, in hopes of spotting an inscription or something like that. As I stepped on a specific tile, electroshock ran through every piece of gear touching my skin.
I nearly fell, but caught myself as I saw a dildo appear on the pillar. Trying to grab it let my hand slip through. I stepped off the plate and the dildo disappeared, but so did the shocks. Already freezing heavily, I bared the shocks long enough to slide the dildo into my ass. Once I was off the plate, it disappeared from my hole.
Activating the shock plate again, I took the dildo in a second time and tested the surrounding tiles. One by one I excluded options until I found the one that didn't make the dildo disappear. The one after that was also a shock plate. The next one wasn't.
I waded back and sat on the dildo again. This time – at the end of the known path – I took a turn towards the farthest pillar. I had guessed right, of course it was the farthest one.
Once I had made it all the way there, I dropped the dildo off. The water level rose past my knees. The pillar glowed and a new dildo appeared on it. I took this one up my ass and figured out the way to the target through trial and error. Eventually I dropped the second dildo off and got a second glowing pillar which gave me the third dildo.
Now the ice water rose past my crotch and up to my navel. Figuring out the path was harder now, with the shock tiles making a few unnecessary turns. After a little while the dildo in my ass began to cum the familiar hot sauce cum.
The sensation of my hole's insides getting heated up by pure pain, pared with the coolness of the water, made near constant shivers run up and down my spine. It would have felt uncomfortable if the electroshocks weren't also growing in intensity and offsetting the sensation of a little shivering.
Third glowing pillar, fourth dildo, more burn-cum. The water rose to my nipples. I realized that, of course, it wasn't water but transparent piss. What else had I expected?
At that point I wasn't wading anymore, I was hopping from tile to tile with my ass firmly clenched. After more trial and error – I had lost all feeling below the stomach – I got my fifth dildo.
Now water was rising all the way up to my chin. I had the distinct impression that the burn-cum was flowing up my guts in impossible ways, heating me up from the inside, causing me the most intense shivering as my body was not allowed to go as numb as it could have.
The next pillar glowed and I got my last dildo. Instantly the water level rose past my eyes. I was submerged. My only option was to hop on the tile to get my head above the surface for a moment every time I reached a new plate.
The last path was especially erratic and I had to redo it seven times before I found the right way to the initial pillar. Then all water vanished.
It didn't flow anywhere, it was just gone. The sudden return of all my gear's weight made me sink to my knees.
A gem added itself to my chain and I saw the final staircase appear just before the ninth gift arrived. A blindfold laid itself over my eyes, taking my vision away completely.
I had gotten so used to shocks guiding me that I felt thoroughly lost without them. A little while I knelt there, trying to gain an orientation, but I only felt more lost. Well, at least I knew were the staircase was.
Luckily, Igor and Kang were both not here yet. Although, as I crawled along I realized that this room existed probably fourfold or else we would help each other automatically with the dildos in here. I could technically still lose, as unlikely as that seemed.
I know I had reached the uppermost level when the stairs ran out. The area was hot. I felt rough stone on my hands and foot soles. Winds carried heat from all directions. I couldn't see and therefore had no idea what to do.
Crawling forward a little bit, I noticed that the terrain was bumpy, uneven and overall difficult to traverse. As I held still, I noticed the sound of fire cackling above me. The sounds of bubbling lava was a lot more distant, but came from all sides.
My sweat returned while I tried to feel my way around. I reached an edge, where the platform I was on ended. It led to smooth, warm stone, falling off for who knows how far.
Then I understood.
I was on top of the pyramid which was an open area. I was at the edge of the pyramid with the ceiling fires above me and the lava rivers all around the building.
Now knowing that the area had to be roughly square and finite – and probably all there was to explore – I decided to find a corner and start from there towards the exact center. If I ended up at another corner I would know it was an actual square and nothing was in the middle. If I found something, well, I'd have to wait and see. Or not see since I was still blind.
Something caused tiny vibrations in the floor. I could feel them intensify as I got near the middle. With no better ideas, I headed right for the source. Whatever it was, it glowed so brightly, that the shine made its way a tiny bit into my blindfold.
The moment I touched it a gong sounded all around me, so loudly it made me dizzy. All my gear vanished, including the nipple chain with all nine gems.
Blinded by the surrounding fire, I only had time to wonder why the rune underneath me looked so familiar, before it whirled and became a portal.
I fell and barely caught myself before smacking face first into the ground. Completely disoriented I saw Kang's face over me and realized I was back in the hub cathedral cavern. I tried to form a thumbs up gesture to congratulate the boy on his victory. My arm didn't respond. Then I blacked out.
When I woke up again, Igor had joined. The three of us sat around waiting and I watched my bruises heal with incredible speed.
If we were already here, why did we still have to wait? Sven was obviously the loser. Then I remembered who the audience was. The demons didn't want to miss the look on Sven's face when he completed the ascent and had to realize he still lost.
I don't know how long it took, but eventually a whirling dimensional gate opened above the ground and Sven dropped through. The horror of seeing us all already here was indeed something that would have looked hilarious for anyone who didn't have a sense of empathy.
The largest number of runes I had seen so far ran along the stalactite-screens.
"And we have our loser! Here are the results of all sub-games. Now let's see who got a thousand tokens at the end. Wow, that's a lot of you. Good job guys. Let's bring this game session to a climax!"
A pillar of fire shot up from the middle of the cathedral and turned into a demon. So far I had only gotten to see them on screens. The red and black skinned creature was about three times Igor's mass. He had four horns and totally black eyes. The rest looked almost disturbingly human, except for the outrageous muscles and, of course, the hard dick that went all the way up to his nipples.
A single leap let him close the distance between him and us. The smell of musk, sweat and cum was overwhelming – I had a hard time breathing through it even after all the time I had spent surrounded by impossibly hot air.
The devil grabbed Sven by the balls, before the boy even got to scream. The blond teen model was dragged off to a gate which opened up for the demon. Sven could barely keep up, his balls getting pulled mercilessly by the creature.
Behind the door was a luxurious red room with lush curtains, soft benches, tables full of an assortment of drinks and a rich carpet. Most striking however were the dozens of demons waiting for Sven.
As soon as the boy was over the door step, the one who had carried him, turned the boy around and shoved his dick all the way into the small body. I could easily see the dick's outline press against Sven skin from the inside out. The outline was visible all the way up the stomach and into the chest. Any human would have been killed instantly, but through the magic of hell, Sven didn't get torn.
Then the demon fucked as fast as the statues had, making Sven's body vibrate and turning his screams into high pitched squeaking.
I expected the demon to be done after a few seconds, just like the statues had. That didn't happen and I understood that real demons could go on for longer – perhaps as long as they wanted.
Just as a second Demon lined his own impossible dick up with Sven's mouth, the gate closed.
"Let's give our VIP winners some privacy. They won the right to have their own little game. For the rest of you, the feast is now served. Exchange tokens for food, booze and other prices at the relevant booths. I hope you'll join us for the last time tonight, when we say a hearty goodbye to our players."
We were not put into stress position. I fell asleep almost instantly and didn't wake up until Sven was already back with us. I was feeling so refreshed, at least a few hours had to have passed.
