I was drugged and locked up with a man.
Under high-definition cameras, every move we make is broadcast live on the dark web.
The audience was excited and betting on how long we could endure.
Now, there are two paths before me. Or be tortured to death by drugs.
Either sacrifice your dignity and perform a show with this man in front of thousands of people.
…
"Hehe, welcome everyone to the show 'How Long Can You Bear It?'!"
"One is a cold illustrator, and the other is an ascetic tyrant!"
"We have been preparing for the show for a full year! I hope you all like it!"
Electronic synthesized sounds echoed in the confined space, and the huge display screen on the wall clicked on.
The white light from four industrial spotlights instantly penetrated my pupils.
The stinging pain made me hiss.
"Woke up?"
It's okay. Listen, it's nothing.
