Chapter 10: Public Discipline in the Arena (1)
Waaaah, waaaaaah!!
There were easily thousands maybe even over ten thousand people gathered in this massive arena.
Most of the seats were filled with women, and every single gaze was focused directly on me.
Even though you'd expect some to be distracted, it was as if my very presence was enough to capture all of their attention.
"It's a man! A man has appeared!"
"I heard the rumors, but is it true? Are they really sending a man into the arena as a fighter?"
"Wow, look at that body. He's all muscle!"
"Come on, even if it's a man's muscles, they're probably just for show."
"Doesn't matter, it's hot as hell! Damn!"
...Hmm.
Their desire was pretty intense, but I guess you could call it popularity?
In my old world, I couldn't even make eye contact with women, but life really is unpredictable.
"Everyone, as you can see, today's match features none other than a man! This is so rare for this arena... No, it might even be the first show of its kind on the whole continent!"
The female announcer's passionate voice only fired up the crowd even more.
With fists raised, the audience was so hyped it bordered on madness.
"Enough with the intro get started already!"
"Don't tell me you're going to hype it up this much and then end it with a whimper!?"
"If it ends quickly, it'll be boring!"
"Take it off! Since you're on stage anyway, take your shirt off!"
...Just by standing in the arena, I had to endure all sorts of insults and sexual harassment.
I started to understand how girl group idols must feel on stage. Just as I was thinking that, the announcer burst out laughing and continued.
"Right, it's not good to bore the crowd with chatter in front of such an attractive man. So, in response to your passion and support, let's get right to the main event!!"
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
The arena trembled with another roar. At the center of it, the announcer pointed toward me and shouted:
"First, let me introduce today's challenger. Personally selected by the lord herself, the very first male gladiator in the arena's history! In honor of his courage and determination, the lord has bestowed upon him a special name: Adrian the brave man!!"
"Haha! Brave, for a man? Doesn't fit at all!"
"Well, if you're a man standing in the arena, you deserve to be called a real man!"
"Adrian! Or let's just call him 'Aid' for short!"
"Aid! Aid!!"
The crowd started chanting "Aid" in unison. Realizing they were talking about me, I couldn't help but feel a bit proud.
In a world where men act like women, being called "Aid" a man's man wasn't so bad.
Since I couldn't use my real-world name here, maybe it was better to get a name like this.
"Now, let's introduce Aid's opponent, the new star of the arena!"
The announcer gestured to the other side, where soldiers appeared leading someone in chains.
What came out was a small girl with a chain around her neck...
"Kirruk, kyaauk!"
No, calling her a frail girl wasn't quite right.
Her skin was green, her ears pointed, and drool dripped from her mouth as she let out animalistic growls.
She looked savage and alien definitely not human. The crowd's chatter revealed her identity.
"What is that, a goblin?"
"They're making a man fight a goblin?"
A goblin? Like the standard mob from fantasy stories?
"Kruruk, kyaaaa!! Kyaaaaaa!!"
The goblin's eyes locked onto me, and she started thrashing wildly.
She didn't care about the chain on her neck, as if my presence had provoked her.
"Yes, as you can see, Aid's opponent today is a goblin."
The announcer continued.
"What are goblins? They breed endlessly and cause chaos all over the continent! Most of them are female and driven by lust, so in unprotected rural areas, they often kill women and rape men!"
Wait, what? They kill women and rape men?
So men in this world have to worry about being raped not just by women but by monsters too?
And now I'm supposed to fight one of those monsters?
"This goblin will face Aid in the arena. If Aid loses, his body will be at the mercy of that lustful goblin, right in front of everyone! You'll all get to see that delicate, attractive man get wrung dry!"
"So if Aid loses, he gets raped by the goblin?"
"We get to watch a man get raped in the arena?"
The crowd was stunned for a moment by the announcer's words. I was horrified too, but the next reactions crushed any hope I had.
"That's awesome! Public humiliation in front of everyone!"
"Wow, the lord really knows what gets people going!"
"Go goblin! Knock him down and have your way with him!!"
"If you're going to give it up to a goblin, let me have a turn too!!"
They were treating what was basically public rape as entertainment.
Clearly, this world's values were as backward as its civilization.
And I'd ended up in this world as a man, just my luck.
"Now that introductions are over, let's start the match! Will our Aid be able to keep his chastity safe from the lust-crazed goblin?!"
Whatever the case, I couldn't escape this situation.
So I had to focus on surviving.
Steeling myself, I raised my club, and the goblin, now freed from her chain, grabbed a wooden club and charged at me.
"Kyaaaa! Kyaaaaa!!"
Her sharp teeth bared in a snarl, drool dripping as if she was hungry for me, her charge was even more intimidating than I expected.
Like a rabid dog off its leash.
"Kyakya! Kyaaaa!!"
...Shit, now that it's happening, I'm getting nervous.
As the distance closed, I dropped my club and quickly backpedaled.
Whoosh the goblin's club sliced through the air.
Angered that she missed, the goblin let out an even fiercer roar and charged again.
"Aid's running away!!"
As I kept dodging, the audience erupted.
"Boo! We came to see a fight, not someone running away!"
"Don't run! Fight back!"
"Haha, typical man! What kind of guy who does housework thinks he can stand in the arena?"
"If you'd just worked in the brothel, you wouldn't have to go through this."
"You're going to get fucked anyway, just give up and let us see a good show!"
"No, it's hotter if he resists before getting taken!"
"Go goblin!!"
Boos, jeers, and even cheers for the goblin.
All of it made it clear how men were treated in this world, and that realization made me stubborn.
It's not like I chose to be here.
I was just unlucky enough to get dragged into this. And now they're telling me to just give up and get fucked, that men are weak?
"Hoo, alright."
Running won't change anything.
I'd never been through something like this, and I was scared, but I had to brace myself.
"Kyaaaaaa!!"
As I steeled myself, the goblin raised her club and charged.
I dodged her attack and swung my own club with all my strength.
Thwack! The goblin's head snapped to the side.
"Ke, hgeh...!"
With a short gasp, the goblin tumbled across the ground five or six times before coming to a stop.
It was much more powerful than I expected. As I stared at my club in surprise, I realized the noisy crowd had gone silent.
The audience that had been jeering and mocking me were now collectively speechless.
"W-what was that, just now...?"
"He knocked out the goblin? A man?"
Of course they were shocked.
They all thought men were weak and cowardly.
But what happened was real, and they'd have to accept it.
"Eh, maybe it was luck. He just swung blindly and got lucky..."
"But isn't it weird that it sent her flying like that? Even with luck, you need strength for that."
"A man strong enough to beat a goblin?"
"Are those muscles real? They're bigger than mine!"
As time passed, the mood began to shift.
The goblin I'd knocked down got back up, staggering but closing the distance again.
"Grrr, kyaaa!!"
Was she angry?
Of course. She thought she could easily have her way with a man, and now she'd been sent flying.
But after being hit once, her charge didn't seem so intimidating.
I felt like I could even take a hit or two.
Thwack.
As I zoned out, the goblin's club struck my body.
I staggered for a moment, but didn't fall.
It wasn't exactly a feather duster, but it was about as tough as a massage.
Thwack!!!
Taking the hit, I counterattacked, and the goblin was once again sent flying, landing hard on the ground.
It was almost pitiful to watch.
As this pattern repeated, the goblin's earlier bravado faded, replaced by fear. She just stood there, trembling.
"Kiiiiii!!"
When I took a step forward, she grabbed her head and bowed to the ground.
Sensing she'd lost her will to fight, I looked around to gauge the mood.
Silence. Even the announcer was speechless.
I had no idea what to do next.
I'd subdued the goblin, but the match hadn't been called yet... Was I supposed to kill her?
"Uu, uuu... auuu..."
No, I couldn't kill her.
Just because I was strong didn't mean I had to take a life. I wasn't ready for that.
But I was annoyed that she'd tried to rape me, so doing nothing felt wrong too...
Throb.
...Damn, my dick is acting up at a time like this.
Even after beating a monster, I was getting aroused. Just how sex-starved is this body?
I couldn't exactly jerk off here... Or could I? If public rape is allowed, why not?
"Hey, goblin."
"K-kiii...?"
If I won, then the roles were just reversed.
I picked up the goblin, who was bowing on the ground, and declared proudly:
"From now on, your name is Onahole."
Thrust!
My cock pierced Onahole's body.
