"Do you all want to die?"
Madara looked at them as he said, while it has been few days when they were captured, they had been tprtured and raped all this past few days, for a women to be raped again and gain day and night while the goblins gets pleasure from their hurtful cries or as they resist.
And they were pregnant too, while they can be saved and their wounds can be healed what truly matter for them to lived was their mentality, if their mind were broken then they were all lost cause and if Madara forced them to live… they will live as a mindless dolls who have a mark on their life.
"Let me rephrase those words… Do you want me to kill you?"
Madara asked again as he looked at those women who were chained and who were on the ground.
There were a total of twelve women here while six were on the ground fully naked, some clothes that were pieces only while the other six were chained to the ground.
"Yess… please… killll mee." Said the woman on the ground while tears continued to roll down her eyes. Her lips quivering in a plea to get her out of this misery.
"Yes please… kill me too." Said another woman.
And just like this all the other followed.
"Meee to."
"M…e t..o"
"Mee to."
…
..
.
Some of them could no longer even speak, their bodies too weak, their voices lost. But they didn't need to say the words—Madara could see it in their eyes. They had no future. They had no hope.
Perhaps the most tragic thing was that there was nothing waiting for them beyond this cave. When the goblins raided their village, they had killed everyone except the women. No family. No homes. Nothing to return to.
For what purpose would they live?
Madara closed his eyes for a moment, then exhaled. When he opened them again, his gaze was resolute, "don't worry there won't be any pain… and there won't be any pain after this." He reached down and picked up a sword—a crude, rusted weapon that one of the goblins had used. It was nothing compared to his own weapons, but it would serve its purpose.
A flicker of movement—
In an instant, it was over.
Madara appeared at the other end of the cave, the sword in his grip dripping with fresh blood. Behind him, the women who had chosen death lay still. Their heads had been severed cleanly from their bodies, their suffering finally put to an end.
The cave fell silent once more.
But not entirely.
One woman remained.
She was still chained, her body weak and trembling. Unlike the others, her eyes, though filled with pain, still held a small flicker of something different—the desire to live.
Madara turned to her, studying her expression. Despite everything she had endured, despite the horrors she had faced, she had not given up completely.
He stepped forward, his presence towering over her. Slowly, he reached out and broke the chains with a simple slash of the sword. The metal snapped easily, falling uselessly to the ground.
She wasn't completely weak or anything so she could easily escape on her own so he didn't bother with her being there for her or saying some encouraging words or anything.
There were still some goblins has left or most likely their children which he could detect some other on the deeper part of the cave so he began to go towards them.
But before he could, he left soen words to the woman, "you should leave and find some help from others, don't worry there aren't any monsters or goblins left outside, just go straight outside the forest."
….
After leaving those words, he went towards the deeper part of the cave where the filthy creatures children were being kept or were wriggling like maggots.
After walking for like a minute he had already reached the part where the children of goblins were and the hideous face of their and the teeth of some of their and the way they wriggle and walk on the two legs like maggots if their should be one word for this scene it should be 'Hideous.'
Madara summoned a susanoo hand, he didn't want to dirty his own hand from these filthy maggot's blood, so he chose to use his susanoo hand to crush these hideous monster kids.
There were more than two hundred of these goblins kids and susanoo hand began to crush the like some rock, the goblins cried and struggled to escape some even trying to fight back but none of it worked.
…
..
.
After killing all these goblins Madara decided to head back to the cave entrance, the women were gone too while the bodies of the women still lay there.
Madara decided to burn their bodies, as it will be good instead of rotting in this cave.
…
..
.
The flames roared behind Madara, devouring the cave and everything inside it. Thick black smoke billowed into the night sky, casting eerie shadows across the trees. He stood still, his crimson eyes scanning the dark forest. The woman he had spared was nowhere in sight.
She must have left already.
It didn't matter. He had already cleared the monster from where he came from. So the lady would probably be outside without encountering any monster.
He wasn't the type to babysit someone.
This place, known as the Big Magic Border, was a dangerous land. Monsters lurked in every corner, making it unfit for ordinary people. Madara had only come here to gather intelligence on the goblin group terrorizing nearby villages, but instead, he had wiped out one of the largest goblin nests in the area. Even the so-called Goblin General, a creature much larger and stronger than a normal goblin, had been nothing to him.
Too weak.
Not once did he feel the need to take the fight seriously. Not once did he even consider using his strength.
As he turned to leave, a sudden boom echoed from deeper within the forest.
BOOM!
The ground trembled slightly beneath his feet. His eyes narrowed.
An explosion? An attack?
His curiosity piqued, Madara decided to investigate.
—
Madara moved swiftly, his steps making no sound as he glided through the dense forest. Soon, he arrived at the scene—but there was no monster in sight. Instead, scattered across the ground were pieces of broken armor, weapons, and equipment.
And standing amidst the wreckage was a boy.
The child was short and fat, with round cheeks and a slightly awkward stance. He was hunched over, grinning as he picked up the equipment from the ground, seemingly unaware of Madara's presence.
But the strangest part?
There was a house. Right here, in the middle of the monster-infested forest.
Madara raised an eyebrow.
A house? In this place?
Something was off.
He walked forward, his heavy crimson armor glinting under the moonlight. His presence alone was enough to make most warriors freeze in fear, yet the boy remained oblivious.
Finally, Madara spoke.
"Hey, kid. What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the forest?"
The boy jerked up, startled. He turned quickly, eyes widening as he saw Madara so close to him.
For a moment, there was silence. Then, instead of fear, the boy showed confusion—and maybe a little excitement.
"Ahh… hello!" The boy hesitated before answering, glancing at the destroyed area around him. "Who.. are you? I… uh… I live here. In that house."
He pointed at the house behind him.
Madara's eyes flicked toward the small wooden house. It looked old but well-maintained, with a simple fence surrounding it.
The boy scratched his head, looking nervous under Madara's gaze.
"O-Oh! And I'm… Yuuya… Yuuya Tenjou."
He stuttered, his voice unsure. His hands clenched the equipment he had picked up, as if afraid Madara might take them away.
The boy looked ugly—pathetic, like he was a goblin, from his face, his hair being long enough to cover his eyes, his body so fat you could call him a short man with too much fat whose growth plates stopped.
Madara began to go towards the fences as he was about to enter it. A forcefield type barrier stopped his all advances, now it was all too much weird.
A house in the middle of the monster infesting forest, a boy who looks like couldn't even lift his own weight, a barrier around a shabby house.
And a ugly boy was living here…
"Kid, you look like suspicious… tell me honestly what are you doing here… whose house is this and what is this barrier and who put it here."
The kid's eyes widened as he used his system to check the other person.

The system in front of him was all in red as he couldn't measure up to the person in front of him, the system beeping red as the kid's heart beating all time high at the system message.
The kid began to slowly slip away over to the fence as he wanted to get inside the fences where the barrier would protect him.
"Don't try to run away… believe me when I'm saying that you will die the moment you try to enter these fences as you think they will keep me away. And what did you just see? You clearly weren't afraid of me just now but in an instant your face became even more ugly and don't get me started on your heartbeat and pulse."
"Do you know me???"
While there was no one who would know him or his identity, but not like he was trying to hide it even if someone knew his identity on the contrary it would make the situation simple.
But for this kid to know it was very unlikely, he was fine just yet and now in an instant like he saw something his reaction changed like Madara was gonna kill him or something.
The kid, likely not listening or couldn't listen, tried to run as fast as he could, his breathing so hard like he saw a ghost.
Of course, Madara could have stopped him easily if he wanted but he just let him go to the other side of the fences without any problem.
"So… now can you answer me?"
"Hahahaha… I'm saved… what are you… a demon transformed into a human or using magic to look like a human?"
The kid said laughing hazardly like he just avoided a life crisis.
"Demon? Me? What are you talking about? It seems I was mistaken to think you knew me. But one thing is clear: you know something."
Madara's eye began to change as red eyes took place with 3 tomoe in it and they stopped after fully forming, the kid seeing this looked at the man in surprise as to how he did that.
Madara didn't even have to do anything for the kid to look at him as his eyes were literally on him.
In an instant, the kid who looked terrified at first lost expressions on his face as no expression took place, the kid was now under genjutsu.
"What is this place and barrier?" Madara asked and as expected the kid began to answer without any problem.
"I don't know. It is my grandfather's place which I just found out today and this barrier is for house protection which keeps people and monsters away from this place or don't let them enter no matter what. There is this system in front of me which lets me know everything about this place and the barrier."
The kid answered the question of the house and the barrier.
"Why were you afraid of me now? What were you doing here in this forest for you to find this place?"
Madara asked another question.
"I wasn't doing anything here in this forest. I'm not from here or from this world. There is a gate in the house which is connected to another world. That is where I come from. And the system told me to get away from you as you are dangerous and your stats and names weren't visible in the status window."
The kid answered without any expression on his face.
"What is this status window you are talking about?"
"It is a system which people get in manga and light novels when they die and reincarnate to another world or transported to another world. It helps the protagonist to overcome dangerous situations and get stronger faster than anyone."
Madara after listening to his answer baffled, 'after dying and reincarnating? Isn't this exactly what happened to me." Madara thought he was exactly like the person the kid was talking about.
But he didn't see the status window he was talking about.
"How do you see this status window?"
"You call out the words 'status window' in your mind or whisper it and it will come out."
"Status Window."
Madara waited… waited… and waited… but nothing happened… no such thing as a status window appeared in front of him or anything.
'Maybe I just can't see it.'
"How do I enter this?" Madara wanted to look at the inside of this house and the supposed gate to another world.
"I would have to give you permission to enter here." This information he just got from the system in front of him.
"Then give me permission. You wouldn't probably like the rough way of me entering this barrier."
Madara placed hand on the barrier and now instead of blocking it he was able to enter it without any problem like the barrier wasn't even there to begin with.
'Fascinating.'
