by fnovelpia

With the help of navigation, I successfully escaped the forest and rode the horse tied outside the forest and headed straight for Bestia.

Then, before the sun sets, in a nearby city, stop. Show your ID. Where is the slave trader? The sound of money. Okay, pass. I went through the process and came in.

I found a suitable place to stay and lay down on the bed.

When I briefly looked earlier, there was a lot of stuff that came up. I checked the late compensation.

First, 50,000 points obtained through the liberation of Arphia. It seems that 50,000 points are fixed when the main slave is completely liberated.

Even if you raise a slave without a story, it won’t reach 500 points, and considering that Narsha, who has some importance, only has 5,000 points, this can be considered a considerable amount of points.

Here are some skills that seem to exist but don’t.

[The generous master].

-The effect of items given by the owner slightly increases.

It’s simple. Roughly speaking, if you give a sword, its cutting power increases, and if you give a potion, its surrounding recovery power increases.

I think it might have been strengthened because Arpia was given too much alcohol.

Next is a new skill that was added this time.

[Protection of the World Tree]

-The energy of the world tree flows through you.

The elven race looks on with friendly eyes.

The abilities of elf slaves are enhanced.

Increases the chance that Elf Slaves will be possessed by rare spirits.

‘This is coming up.’

In the original, this is a skill that can only be obtained by completely liberating 100 elves. It can be said to be the ultimate and essential skill for training elves.

I got it for freeing one Arphia. The World Tree was impressed by my help before Arphia was destroyed and gave me a bonus.

‘If this is the case, other slaves will be completely liberated by twisting the original work, and there will be additional compensation.’

You may also get rare rewards.

Of course, I don’t plan on doing anything recklessly. In the case of Arphia, things worked out well, but there’s no guarantee that things will go well next time.

You just have to be aware that this can happen.

Now the last one.

A new system that is neither a skill nor anything else.

[Slave Picking]

It costs 10,000 points. In addition to various items, you can obtain clues about slaves with a low probability.

Gacha is here!

Gachas where you can get items and slaves by giving points. This is an essential element in nerd games.

Originally, it was a system where you would be released after clearing the tutorial Mirabelle in order to prevent indiscriminate re-rolling.

I was wondering if there was a chance of winning since it didn’t come out then, but it has finally come out now.

‘What is the slave’s clue?’

It’s my first time seeing it. I can guess what it is. Well, I can figure it out when I pull it out, so there’s no reason to worry about it.

‘Sigh, but the ten thousand points are too expensive.’

It’s too expensive. It’s not a situation where you can just leisurely raise slaves, and you never know when you might need money and items.

In such a situation, reckless waste can lead to an irreversible situation.

But since something new has come out, we should do it out of courtesy.

‘Should I just have a taste?’

Because there are still some points to spare.

I’m just getting a taste.

I pressed the draw button using 10,000 points.

A blue sphere faintly twinkling before my eyes.

When the light becomes brighter and brighter and more splendid…!

Bam.

“Huh?”

An object fell limply onto the bed. A rough, gray bracelet.

[Master-made bracelet]

The master was making it, and then, oh no, his hand slipped.

Equip Effect: Stabilizes the slave’s mind and body. Slightly enhances magical effects.

…end?

You’re saying that you were born with 10,000 points and got a cheap bracelet?

Even if you pay for a custom-made one, you can make a magic tool several times better than this one.

Oh, that’s it? It’s just a stack of 1. The more you draw, the higher the probability.

So, we have to pick one more time.

Invest 10,000 points.

Another blue sphere looks like it might burst at any moment, and shine even brighter…!

Bam.

There was no such thing.

A suggestive pink heart-shaped frame, like something a succubus might have tattooed on her lower abdomen, fell off.

I don’t need to read the description to know what it’s used for.

And it’s obvious at first glance that it’s a dud.

Blue is a dud.

What’s worse is that the color seems like it will change, but it doesn’t.

That’s fucking disgusting. It’s playing with people.

[Points held: 63,120pt]

‘Wow, already 20,000 points?’

My blood-like points turned into trash?

Should I stop now?

‘no.’

Stopping now is a waste. The master sees an angle to recover here.

“If you buy it now, it will appear!”

[Points held: 13,120pt]

“Ugh, ugh… .”

Moisture is lost from the whole body.

The sound of a drum beating against my eardrums.

My body, soaked in dopamine, trembles.

Has anything ever been this difficult?

I used to be scared for a moment when my life was threatened, but now I feel like I can’t breathe.

Seven pulls. Every single one was blue. I didn’t even get to see the higher grade lights.

‘It’s not too late. If you take action now…’

If you spend more points here, it may cause problems in future progress.

Okay, let’s stop here.

You’ve tasted what it feels like, right? 10,000 points is still plenty.

At that moment, the devil inside your brain pops out and tempts you.

‘Can you bear this? You failed 7 times, but the odds are that it will come up next time. If you stop here, you’ll lose, but if something good comes up, recovery is possible.’

Ugh. Is it because of the skill? The devil’s words sound very plausible.

No, you shouldn’t be swayed.

Angel, help me!

Pong.

‘Wow, there’s a continental super S-class beautiful slave girl waiting for you at the door, but you’re holding the doorknob and not opening it? You fucking faggot.’

… ?

What is it?

Shouldn’t one of them be stopped? Where did the angel go?

‘Where are the angels for slave traders?’

I see! So I only had one choice from the beginning!

There was no need to worry.

I feel at ease.

Take a deep breath.

The power of three Karamis is combined.

East, west, south, north.

“ was visible. The thread of the gap!”

Tiring, ringing, ringing. It’s as if life points are being deducted.

A blue sphere appears.

A sphere that keeps changing and swaying. It is dyed in a brilliant golden light as if dawn is rising.

“It’s here!”

As expected, my judgment was right!

Wow, it was restored in one go.

A dazzling light filled the room, and when the light that had been shining to its limit turned white, the sphere shattered and a piece of paper fell to the ground.

I picked up the paper with the speed of a beggar picking up bread crumbs that had fallen on the floor.

[Slave’s Clue: Top Level]

Clue of the slave.

This is something that didn’t exist in the game. In the game, when you draw a slave, it is added to your character window like other gacha games, and you can immediately train it.

But what about the funds? I thought they would summon me to my position, but no.

The paper contains random clues about the slaves: their backgrounds, abilities, and specific locations and conditions where they can be encountered.

This is a format that helps you meet slaves in this way. They may be slaves from games you know, or they may be slaves you have never seen before.

‘We need to check that now.’

What a pretty slave~

I started reading [The Clue of Slavery] with a pounding heart.

[Slave’s Clue: Top Level]

Isenggar, the northernmost part of the continent, a permafrost zone that is endlessly frozen.

The Iron-Blooded Warrior and Norsguard Tarkind was─── from the Orc army that had overrun the village.

“Ah, fucking guy.”

I know just by hearing the name.

Are you saying that a game where you get a male character from a draw is a nerd game?

“I invested 80,000 points and all I got was a piece of ice… ?”

I tore the paper.

“You just die… .”

***

80,000 points. If you exchange them for gold, a whopping 8,000 coins will disappear into thin air.

I fell for God’s trick. I must have wiped out all my points because I was worried about inflation.

I don’t have any more points to draw, and I’m just too mentally exhausted.

‘See if I can pull it out twice.’

If you do that again, you’re not a human, you’re a monkey.

Even though the points were gone, I had to do what I had to do. To meet the third main slave, I had to go to the water nation of Bestia.

Bestia. What a nice place.

There are false rumors going around that I am a slave messenger in the Kingdom of Traul and that I kill slaves, but that is not the case in Bestia. Our social standings are different.

Because I treated countless slaves and sent them to Bestia. I still remember that day vividly.

I remember the people who were so grateful that they chased after me as I was leaving and cried sadly.

If I get the chance, I’d like to meet those kids again.

We arrived at the border between the kingdom and the water nation.

On one side, the soldiers of the kingdom are facing each other, while on the other side, the soldiers of the water nation are facing each other.

There, where strict immigration procedures were in full swing, I spotted a wolf-man with an impressive ashen tail. I approached her straight away.

“Hey, Seira-san. It’s been a really long time.”

Seira is the immigration officer for Vestia. She is the woman I handed over when I brought the slaves.

She frowned, her expression usually blank. She must have been in a bad mood today.

“What are you doing in Vestia? Did you come here to hand over the people again?”

“Unfortunately, not today. I have business in Vestia.”

“You?”

“Yes, may I come in?”

No matter how good my position in Vestia is, I am a slave trader. It is different from the cities of the kingdom where I could enter if I gave them some money.

But that’s okay. Seira knows better than anyone how good of a slave trader I am. I’m sure she’ll let me in no matter what.

“Finally, this day has come… … Come in. I have been waiting for you to come to Bestia.”

“Haha, I didn’t expect you to welcome me so enthusiastically. I don’t know what to do. Then, excuse me.”

I took a few more steps and crossed the border. As I followed behind Seira, the Kingdom soldiers disappeared from sight.

“Miss Seira, how are the slaves I freed doing?”

“How are you?”

“I can’t get the image of them sadly breaking up from my mind. Since I’ve finally come to Bestia, I’d like to see them once.”

At that moment, Seira stops in her tracks.

The ash-gray fur stood on end.

“How much more are you going to hurt them…!”

“Yes?”

“But that also ends today.”

It was then that a sense of floating engulfed my entire body. The heavens and the earth were turned upside down. Then, a sharp pain struck my entire body.

When I came to, I was lying on the ground.

It didn’t end there. My arm was broken and fell behind my back. In an instant, Seira was on my back and pressed my wrist with her knee.

“Se, Seira-san? What is this?”

“What are you doing? You should ask your conscience about that.”

I tried to turn my head to see her expression, but my neck, which had reached its limit, would not turn any further. Still, I could feel an oppressive gaze being directed at me.

“Slave Reaper Karami. You are under arrest for habitual abandonment of prisoners.”
