“……”

People who came to the market with their families to buy groceries or other items.

Unlike most people who were smiling brightly and having a good time with their families, the man with black pupils and ominous black hair was heading somewhere with a slightly gloomy expression.

Pupils so dark that you can’t tell how deep they are. Black hair that looks ominous just by looking at it.

People passing by the man naturally kept their distance from him when they saw the man with such an ominous appearance.

Aion, the person involved, said nothing.

Because he didn’t have the luxury of caring about them.

There’s only one thought on his mind right now…

It was about meeting those who would lead this world to destruction.

***

To get to the point, I am not of this world.

This place is not the reality I originally lived in, but a world in a novel.

About 3 years ago. At that time, I was possessed by an adventurer here without any preparation.

I was possessed in a novel without even knowing English, but after defeating monsters every day to survive, after several months, I realized that this was the world in the novel I was reading before being possessed.

And as soon as I realized this, I despaired.

Because this was a novel where destruction was predicted.

The novel I was reading was about people who were driven to the edge by others, becoming corrupted by the world, and committing cruel massacres.

At that time, I was reading a novel and felt sorry.

If you ask what was so regrettable.

I felt so sorry for those women who had turned into villains.

He lived his life sacrificing his own body to protect his precious family, but his precious younger sibling was tortured to death right in front of him, and he even killed his family and friends after his strength went out of control due to drugs given to him by unknown people.

It was difficult to see them as complete villains.

They did not fall into darkness of their own accord; they were all driven to despair by others and surrendered themselves to darkness.

Looking at them, who were so messed up that they were beyond repair, I thought.

‘If…they had a real family, would they be able to stop being villains?’

It was a stupid thought, but at the time I thought about it quite seriously.

They didn’t fall into darkness of their own free will, but because those around them pushed them into darkness.

What if they meet the right person and are saved?

That’s what I thought, and when I found out that I was possessed by a character in a novel, the first thought that came to my mind was about them.

“What if..I meet them?”

With that in mind, he started earning money in earnest.

I started making money by working as an adventurer under the newly created name of Aion.

Since no major incidents have occurred yet, Aion began to hunt monsters with relative ease compared to others by using his knowledge of the original work.

At first, many adventurers were displeased with him for his black pupils and sinister black hair, but those who saw his skills kept their mouths shut.

Many people couldn’t help but admire his ability to defeat monsters without any special equipment.

So he started to save up money little by little by hunting monsters.

At least once a day, he would catch monsters and sell them to the guild to earn money.

It had already been three years since he had been possessed by the novel. He was walking hurriedly toward the slave market where they were.

In fact, if only Aion had known where they were living, he would have wanted to save them as soon as possible.

Not knowing the exact location, he had no choice but to wait for the day when they would come to the slave market as mentioned in the novel.

He gathered up the money he had saved up and quickly walked towards the black market.

Buying and selling humans as slaves was strictly illegal, and as he was a known conspirator, he went to the black market where they were being sold wearing a mask that could hide his face.

He eventually ended up at the black market where they were.

Most of the slaves distributed here come here in two cases.

First, kidnapping and selling children.

The second is that their families directly hand them over to the slave market.

The ones that Aion is currently picking up are the latter.

***

Their father was a severe alcoholic and never went a single day without drinking.

When he came home drunk, he beat them and her mother, finding fault with them in every way.

The place where their parents met was not a normal place, but an entertainment establishment where people paid for sex.

The two people who met each other there fell in love at first sight and got married less than a week after meeting.

They loved each other and worked hard to create a child as a result of their love, and through their efforts, beautiful twins came to be with them.

Immediately after giving birth to them, the man who had been so kind changed beyond recognition and began to swear at his wife without fail.

The man who made her quit her night shift kept the woman by his side all day and watched her.

On days when he went out, if he came home even a little late, he would beat the woman to the point where she would spit out blood from her mouth.

“Mom, are you okay…?”

A woman who was beaten by her husband to the point of vomiting blood.

Her daughters Danawa and Fred, who had been watching from the side, approached her with worried expressions.

“Eww!!”

The woman who saw their faces could not control her rising anger.

Their mothers bitterly regretted their foolish choices and were furious at the daughters they had conceived from their relationship with the man.

Soon, he started swinging his fists to vent his anger on those innocent people.

The woman took out the hatred and anger she felt towards her husband on her daughters, Danah and Frey.

In order to protect her younger sister, Fre, who was born with a weak body, Dana, the older sister, embraced her younger sister while silently enduring the violence of the beast called mother.

[Thud–!Thud-!!]

Dana, who was Fred’s older sister, silently endured the fists swung by her mother and protected her younger sister from getting hurt.

Danawa and Fre’s mother, who had been expressing her anger for so long, left the place, grumbling, as if her strength had run out.

“Uh..Sister…are you okay..?”

After she left, her younger sister, Fre, looked at her older sister, Dana, who had taken all the punches on his behalf.

Dana, seeing Fre’s worried face, forced a smile and said so that her younger brother Fre wouldn’t worry.

“Is your sister okay? Is our Fred hurt anywhere?”

Dana, who was Fre’s older sister, smiled to reassure her younger sister, Fre, even in this unfortunate situation.

Dana, who took all of her mother’s punches on behalf of Freya, was eventually sold into slavery along with her younger sister.

Their father, an alcoholic, sold Danah and Fre, whom he considered the most useless, to the slave market when he ran out of money to buy alcohol.

He swallowed his saliva as he looked at the money he earned by selling his own flesh and blood.

“Wow..I thought she’d be a completely useless girl..but I didn’t expect her to be this filial in the end. She’s a hit!!”

He sold his own daughter and looked at the money in his hand and was happier than they had ever been born.

Their mother also smiled as if she felt relieved and spoke to them.

“You useless bitches, you should never have been born in the first place.”

Their mother drove a nail into their hearts until the very end.

Dana and Fre, abandoned by their parents, their only blood relatives, could only watch their backs as they walked away with expressions of despair.

***

They were speechless as they watched their parents moving further and further away.

At the last words she left behind as her mother, Dana’s eyes turned cold and cold as if even the small hope she had held in her heart had disappeared.

Dana looked back on the past days.

Come to think of it, in our memories, our parents never smiled happily when they looked at us.

She eventually gave in to reality, feeling like she was being looked at every day as if she was looking at a burden.

In the end…we were abandoned.

By the hands of only one family.

Our parents sold us to slave traders for money.

Unlike Danawa and Freya, who had despairing expressions on their faces, the slave trader smiled brightly and said, delighted at the arrival of new items.

“Then…should I try imprinting the slave as a product?”

The merchant brought out a hot soldering iron and said:

The word “slave” was written in bright red letters on the red-hot iron.

“Now you will live as livestock, not humans. Because you are livestock, not humans. Look at the slave mark engraved on your bodies and know what position you are in. ”

The man smiled creepily and brought the red-hot soldering iron to their frail bodies.

Just before the imprint of slavery was formed on their bodies.

“Wait a minute.”

A masked man appeared before them.
