At the End of the Road
READ ENTIRE STORY ON BATO.TO BC OFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION WAS ON THERE anyways. Story was OK. Big disappointment that there was no jerjer : The body swap idea was pretty interesting but could have been executed better. The MC woke up in another students body, and the original student woke up in his body for like 2 seconds before dying. So MC could no longer return to his original body and the poor boy died. Reason? The boy died via suicide. Why? Bc he was raped (coordinated by his pos twin brother and some scary dude and his gang) the whole thing was video taped and circulated around the whole school and the poor boy became the center of rumors. He begged his twin for help, that he was sorry for whatever he did, etc. His twin brother was loving all this. It was his sweet revenge. WHY did he want revenge? Bc this pathetic pos was jealous that his brother was smarter and more well liked than him. PATHETIC. So he orchestrated this gang bang to get back at his brother. As a result, the poor boy became miserable and committed suicide. When he woke up in MC’s body, of course he had no will to live :’( so he gave up quickly and the doctors could not revive him. Rip 3 Now, how did MC wake up in the other boy’s body? Well, he was distracted. He accidentally walked into traffic and BAM, hospitalized. But he pleaded, begged, the universe.. “please, i dont want to die!” Because all his life he lived in poverty and had a shitty life. Abusive father and a mother who abandoned him at an early age, he had to survive quickly on his own. He had to work like a dog all his life since he was a child to make ends meet and to just simply survive. Now, age 18, he FINALLY paid off all debt he inherited from his pos father, and is finally FREE. Very happy and pleased that his hard work has finally earned him freedom, he is excited and thinking about what he wants to do now with his life moving forward. As he is distracted thinking about the possibilities, he is accidentally struck by a truck! Since he only just recently got his life in order and was just starting a new chapter of with his new freedom, he was clearly not ready to die yet. He begged, because he still wanted to live. Thus, he woke up in the body of the boy who so desperately wanted to die. As miraculous and sad as it was :’( Confused, astounded, and unsure of how this all happened, now MC must navigate this new life. Thankfully, since he obviously has no recollection of the boy’s original life, doctors are quick to state that the boy has amnesia from the suicide attempt. MC uses this to his advantage so that he doesnt have a hard time “pretending” to be this boy, and he can just be himself and chalk it up to amnesia lol. He comes to learn that this poor boy’s life he is now walking in, is awful. He learns that the twin brother is hostile towards him (he doesnt understand why but he/we later find out its bc the twin was jealous of him), he learns of the boy’s suicide, and tries to change that for him. Because, MC is no pushover. He regularly kick boxed and was super athletic with a hot bod in his original life. Now he is to live as a small skinny little twink boy??? LMFAOOO. Its crazy how different their bodies are even tho they’re same age. Anyways, MC also has a prideful and hero-esque personality. He wont stand to see people getting hurt or bullied and is quick to mouth off and curse off the bullies/evil he sees. Unfortunately for him, he forgets this isnt his original body, thus his punches do not hold the same strength as before hehe. But he still has his quickness ~ Anyways, the ppl at school are taken aback that the boy they used to bully and berate has such a severe personality change now. Bc MC will be damned if he allows these randos to make fun of him or try to push him around. Word start’s spreading that he is a mad dog and has completely changed after his suicide attempt. MC doesnt care for this shit. He’s more concerned about his body and the boy who is now in it (little does he now the boy is RIP and his original body is cremated now atp). So, in THIS soul swap story, the original boy who experienced the trauma of bully and sexual assault, chooses to die bc living is too painful:( and we instead explore MC’s past and how he basically has a new beginning. This is OK but the other soul-swap manhwa is much better, the one with the grown ass adult who gets soul swapped into a teenager, but the teens soul doesnt die bc even tho his life was so painful he still lingers in the background, and its up to MC to change the boy’s life and help his soul become braver and happier, while also trying to navigate being in his ORIGINAL body too (bc the boys soul chooses not to swap bc he wants to die but not rly? he is scared and stays with MC soul in one body). ANYWAYS back to this story,.. we learn that when MC was growing up poor he was also friends with another boy in a similar situation as him: the ML.They looked out for for another, and the ML quickly became attached to the MC bc he viewed MC as his savior almost. But then one day, when MC protected the ML from his abusive mother, MC got his head bashed with a bottle. ML realized then and there, that his precious person he idolizes and loves and is obsessed with, the boy who protects him and teaches him to stick up for himself, could easily die and be taken away from him. Thats when ML traumatically realized, he could easily lose MC at any point in their lives because he: is weak, is just a kid, and is nothing. As a result, he immediately formed a distance between them. This was strange to MC bc this was so unusual for the ML bc he is usually annoyingly following him around and begging for his affection and approval. MC goes to his house one day to ask whats going on, only to see that the house has been destroyed and ML is gone. For good. This REALLY traumatized MC. First his mother abandoned him with his abusive father, and now his only friend has abandoned him as well. Little does MC know at this moment, the ML was approached by his rich ceo father who abandoned him and his abusive mother with a proposition: “My actual child was born with a chronic disease and is going to die. I need a heir. Since you are my other biological son, i am giving you the offer to leave this slum and come with me to replace my son. Your original identity will be erased and you will live as my son under his name.” ML, tried not to smirk. This was a perfect opportunity. He knew he needed to say yes. If he didnt take this opportunity, then he wont be able to protect the person who is most precious to him. He regrets leaving, but knows this small time length of being apart will be nothing compared to the lifetime they’ll have together. WHICH IMO NAHHHH. HE COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING ANYTHING TO THE POOR MC BEFORE HE LEFT OR LEFT A NOTE OR SOMETHING!!! Bc MC was seriously traumatized from being abandoned TWICE like that at a young age!! from people he deeply loved and cared about!!! Anyways, ML takes full advantage of this new rich life and becomes buff, intelligent, and proper. While also keeping tabs on MC by hiring secret spies to keep an eye on MC for him. ML swore that he would return to MC again one day. Im over here thinking WHEN exactly??? Since its been like 18 yearsss??? Without saying anything??? Unbelievable. Anyways, he almost regrets that decision when he receives a call from his spy stating that MC got into an accident. Quickly rushing to the hospital, he couldnt believe what he saw. His precious person, the only person in the world that matters to him, dying on the hospital bed. He ran to the body, pleading and begging for MC to not leave him. But when the body opened his eyes, the person weakly looking at him was the poor boy who committed suicide. Somehow, ML knew that something wasnt right. That the eyes looking at him, wasnt the person he was calling out. Then the body died, and the poor boy soul rip. A horrible moment for ML. A soul shattering heart breaking moment. All this time waiting it out and making sure he was strong enough and wealthy enough and secure enough before reemerging in MC’s life.. but now he is gone. He goes thru his days as a hollow shell. MEANWHILE, MC is in his new body trying to make sense of his situation!!! At home he is approached by his pos brother and they almost has an argument until, ML shows up!!! The twin brother invited him over for w/e. But this takes MC aback HARD. He is stunned. Speechless. The boy who abandoned him all those years ago, is now in front of him. All those painful memories and feelings of abandonment, now resurfaced. At school, MC of course doesnt let any bullies push him around. But when he gets outnumbered, he makes a bolt for it and hides in an empty room. Unbeknownst to him, ML is in there on a phone call. Not wanting him to blow his cover since the bullies are nearby, he takes ML and pushes him against the wall and shuts him up. ML is staring at him the entire time, watching his miniscule movements. When the bullies leave MC is like “haha sorry dude, my bad. Misunderstanding. See ya” MC has no desire to befriend ML or reveal himself, bc subconsciously he is putting up a defence mechanism bc he lowkey has abandonment issues. But, ML doesnt let him go easily. He slams MC against the wall and says “Well, who do we have here. I guess the rumors are true that ur a slut..” But something about MC catches ML’s eye, something…familiar. Because is obviously acting like himself and not the original boy lmfao. He isnt careful, and his prideful personality jumps out. This raises ML’s suspicions. The rest of the story is then MC trying to hide who he really is from ML bc he doesnt want to give ML that control over him bc he is still upset and hurt that ML just abandoned him when they were kids. Thus his stubbornness is a defense mechanism to avoid being hurt again. Meanwhile ML puts 2 and 2 together and comes to the conclusion that this boy IS his precious person, somehow. He didnt lose him. He is relieved, and now wont let go of MC. He then tries to get MC to admit this, for his own sake and sanity. but MC is like NAW, bc why didnt u contact me or come to me when we became teens huh?? fuck OFF. lmfao. But, MC eventually comes to realize that…the only person in the world who will know of who he is originally and who he was, is the ML. Bc he is dead :) his original identity is erased. And that can actually really break someone’s psyche, having to be someone else and be in someone else’s body for the rest of your life. The only person who knows the truth is ML. So its hard for MC to resist telling him. And also the twin bro tries some bullshit but yea. Decent story its ok but could have been executed better

GODDAMN!!!!! DARK GRITTY ANGSTY TABOO INSANE STORY!!!! Extreme sadistic abusive seme older brother x Extreme masochistic doormat uke young brother Unfortunately it was discontinued early and there are some plot holes and inconsistencies towards the end, but its to be expected if it got discontinued. My only nitpicking is i wish the younger brother has a little bit more confidence in himself and defied the older bro more, instead of just accepting getting beat up all the time lol. It would have made it juicier~ But alas~ It was very good either way! They are also BIOLOGICALLY RELATED BROTHERS LOL

Fantastic amazing story. MC gets repeatedly raped by his step bro and he HATES IT. MC has a mental break and allows step bro to just go to him and rape him. Its almost like a self harm kind of thing. Bc he hates it yet is numb to the rape. He still physically feels it and moans thooo. At some point MC has enough and quits his job (this is bc he had a crush on his senpai at work but when they started going out the step bro ruined it all by fucking MC while he was on the phone with the senpai. Then the senpai is angry at MC for cheating on him [he doesnt know the full story or that mc is being threatened and blackmail with a video, and thus breaks up with MC] and causes MC to spiral), he changes his phone number and moves out of his apartment. He tries to run, get away from the pain of it all..but his brother eventually finds him. And they do jerjers a lot. MC then decides to kill step bro by giving him a sleeping pill and choking him. Yet, he couldnt do it. He simply couldnt. He then calls his step mom and tells her everything. MC then decides to OD on the sleeping pills. When he wakes up in the hospital, he finds out the stop mom died(probably bc she needed to rest plus the agony of learning your son was raping your step son the whole time), and that step bro was taken away to live with his relatives on mother side. Everyone blamed Hikaru on the step moms death bc the step mom initially went out looking for him when she saw he left the house. But we know it was being exposed to the elements and also learning the truth of her son raping her step son that killed her. So essentially it was both their faults! Anyways, This gives MC time to heal as best as he can with his father and seek therapy. He works part time. At the step mom’s 3rd year anniversary, MC decides to send step bro an invitation. We see its bc he wanted to reach out. Step bro doesnt want MCs pity, or to hear MC ask if he’s repented. MC then admits it wasnt step bros fault that step mom died, but his. bc he told her the whole truth. Imo it was both their faults. They both cry in this air of like, acceptance for what theyve done. In the manga they are described as two partners in crime who know each other the best out of everyone. The two meet up occasionally to talk casually. Senpai sees this and exclaims to MC why tf is he meeting up with Hikaru. Hikaru gently tells, basically, Hikaru hasnt changed one bit..and he was relieved at that. and he wasnt changed either. Neither have. Woah. We then see step bro and MC at step bros place and they kiss and try jerjer but MC says the trauma has caused him to become impotent. Whaaaaaat. Thats the end. They remain with each other. MC has developed severe stokholm syndrome and step bro remains obsessed with him. They remain with each other in their own suffering. Relenting to each other, bc atp the only ppl who understand their inner darkness and pain is each other. A shakespearean tragedy.
