章節 15: Chapter 15

Karl feeling his heart beating faster as the beefy dude slapped his shoulder.

Like in that instant, Karl started freaking out about all the worst-case scenarios that could go down.

"Everyone?" Karl remembered that horrifying word from the common sense hijack system, meaning that beefy dude was gonna pull the same move on the grey-pants-wearing lady earlier.

Karl's heart was racing, his mind was a mess, "No... no..... no.... no.. no!"

Karl envisioned those big muscle butt cheeks possibly squeezing his package.

Beefy dude raised an eyebrow, giving Karl a piercing gaze.

"My boy?" The dude lowered his body a bit, his face creeping closer to Karl with an unpredictable expression.

Karl swallowed hard, "Uh... what?"

The dude grinned, flashing his pearly whites. "I also wanna use that leg press machine. So, don't bail on me just yet, Ma Boy!"

Karl was flustered. "Oh, that... Yeah, sure.. I gotta go—"

But before Karl could finish his sentence, beefy dude interrupted, "Don't go yet, help me out real quick, Ma Boy..."

Karl was getting more nervous by the second. He never imagined a situation like this would go down. The beefy dude stashed his bag.

Suddenly, a notification popped up.

[ Hijack Duration: 00:03:00 ]

Karl's time was running out, and he realized that soon, the system's effects would wear off. He had to bounce from this situation before things went south.

"Uh, sorry, but I gotta get," Karl tried to dodge, but beefy dude once again grabbed his shoulder with his big hand.

"Where you headed? I'm just getting started. Chill out, Ma Boy..."

Karl felt even more uneasy. His palms were sweaty, heart pounding. Beefy dude still had a grip on him, like he wasn't letting him bounce just yet. Karl tried to figure out a way to escape without stirring up trouble.

The dude chuckled, "Relax, bro. We can have some fun right here. You know, in this gym, we all help each other out, right? Maybe you can help me out too, hehe."

Karl felt the pressure building. He know what the dude meant, but the longer this dragged on, the more he felt the urge to make a run for it.

Beefy dude started to half-squat in front of Karl, "Let's get going!" his head slightly turning towards Karl's face, "MA BOY.." he said.

And so the event that would become Karl's worst nightmare began.

And..

Ma Boy .... Ma.. Boy.... Ma Boy....

"Damn...." Karl cursed.

Ugh... Ugh...

He pounded his pillow, memories of the beefy dude becoming his worst nightmare.

"Damn it! Why... Why... Why did my D have to get massaged by those beefy muscle cheeks..." Karl grumbled.

Karl lay on his bed, his face buried in the pillows, every inch of him cloaked in shame and disgust. His mind kept replaying the terrifying moment at the gym—the image of the beefy dude slowly approaching him, his voice echoing in Karl's head, "Ma Boy..."

Karl writhed, trying to banish the memory from his mind, but the more he tried to forget, the clearer the image became.

"I don't even want to remember... but why is it so damn hard to shake off!" Karl cursed again, tossing his pillow at the wall. "This is all the system's fault! If that hijack didn't happen, I would never have gone through this!"

The system, as if hearing his lament, suddenly displayed a notification panel:

[ Hijack effect has ended. No additional effects recorded on the target. ]

Karl glared at the panel with pure hatred. "Of course there's none! The effect only messed with me!"

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "I gotta be more careful with this hijack in the future... No more reckless moves. Damn it!"

Karl pondered for a moment, realizing how dangerous this system could be if used carelessly. On one hand, this ability was powerful and could be advantageous, but on the other hand, the effects could spiral out of control quickly.

With a newfound determination, Karl tried to get up from his bed. Yet, the image of the beefy dude kept haunting his thoughts.

"Ma Boy..." he murmured, shivering with terror. "Damn... This is seriously traumatizing!"

Karl sighed and sat up, "Ugh.. annoying!"

Karl grabbed his phone, a notification popping up on his screen.

"Woohoo... New chapter from I Have A System From Great Demon Asmodeus."

Karl glanced at his phone screen again, trying to shift his focus to the latest chapter from I Have A System From Great Demon Asmodeus.

As the plot unfolded, his mind slowly zeroed in on the protagonist's adventure using the powers granted by a grand demon to spice up his life.

"Wow.. Lessgoo? Such a weird character name," Karl mumbled as he read.

He smiled faintly as he delved into the protagonist's bizarre antics with his harem. "Crazy, reading this makes me feel more at ease. At least there's someone more messed up than me."

Reading further, Karl felt the tension in his shoulders slowly dissipate. The quirky and mischievous storyline helped push the horrifying gym memory away.

Karl let out a relieved exhale. "Sometimes novels like this can make me forget about things for a while. Perfect timing."

Reading about Mike, the main character's degenerate and humorous antics with a system full of oddities, brought a brief sense of relief, wiping away the anxiety he had just experienced.

Karl closed his phone momentarily and took a long deep breath. "Okay, gotta be more careful tomorrow. But for now... at least this novel is helping me chill."

Just when things seemed cool again, Karl's phone show other notification.

Someone sent a massage for Karl :

Karl, I can't make it to work tomorrow, can you cover for me...

Karl's eyes shot sharply at that message,

"Crap.. Another double shift!?"

"Ugh, this drama queen!!"

"I will bang you too, wait for your turn!"

"Ugh, this is seriously the worst!"

"Huftt... better rate this webnovel first than think about that bitch!"
