"The group of slaves here. I welcome you as the immigrants of my country, the Malux Empire." Gin said in a loud tone as he stood straight in front of them.
This was the start of his country.
The slaves looked at each other before they kneeled in front of him. "Yes, Your Majesty!!" They said at the same time.
'Oh...! I didn't think that being called like that would be pretty embarrassing.' Gin thought when he heard their loud voice.
"Ehem!"
He coughed forcefully and he glanced at them. "Anyway, congratulations. You're now the citizens of Malux."
Lovi and the other slaves slowly lifted their heads. He was about to ask if it was finished when something assaulted their mind and body.
Their hearts started to beat faster and beads of sweat formed on their forehead.
"Ahhhh!!"
Some of them fell on the ground as they felt pain all over their body.
'Everything hurts!' Those thoughts flooded everyone's mind as a wave of memories reflected in their eyes.
Negative emotions started to spread in their hearts. Emotions pure of rage and malice. They tried to resist the emotions they were feeling but the more they resist the more the emotions seeped into their hearts.
Burning resentment and hatred to all people that mistreated them.
'Kill!'
'Kill!'
'I wanna kill them all!'
'Those goddamn people!'
'I hate them!'
After that, they saw a scene in front of their eyes. It was Gin getting tortured by two guards. They experienced the pain that he was feeling. No, it was transferred to them.
"ARGHHHH!!"
Gin looked at them who were writhing in pain. He didn't know what's happening to them but then he saw a row of words in his vision.
[Influx of people built a country under the name of Abomination King!]
[Hail Malux, the Evil Empire!]
[For every 100 citizens your overall stats will increase by 0.1%!]
Hmm... This?
So it was really important to gained citizens. His strength will increase vastly as long he had enough citizens. He couldn't imagine how strong he will become if he gained one million citizens.
This increased his understanding of his ability.
The slaves received his feeling as they become the citizen of Malux. They saw how Gin got tortured by those people and they understand why Gin wanted to create an empire.
It was horrendous. The torture that he experienced was worse.
They understood him as they were the same. All of them were slaves and their master abused or mistreated them.
"So this is..."
Tears poured out of their eyes. As long as they followed him, this man will provide them a place they could call their home.
"Long live our Great Emperor!!"
"Long Live, Lord Gin!!"
Gin was stunned when he saw it. He didn't know what happened to them but it seems that they were going to follow.
"If you have a problem you can consult me. Dismiss." He said as he threw the keys of the collar to Lovi. He then turned around and went to the caravan.
...
The driver was walking cautiously deep in the forest. He was trying to find a way to exit this place but there were countless monsters. He didn't have the ability to kill them so he could only avoid them.
"Fuck that slave! Saying that he will build a country! He must be dreaming!"
The driver cursed as he recalled Gin's words. That puny slave was trying to become a king? Haha, that's the most laughable thing that he heard in his entire life.
He suddenly stopped walking as he saw a deer eating the leaves. He crouched down and quietly turned around but he saw a humanoid figure standing five meters away from him.
The figure had messy short black hair and hollow eyes. It was wearing tattered clothes and its skin was pale as it didn't have blood flowing in its body.
It shook the driver. He slowly opened his mouth and said in a shaky tone, "W-What are you doing here?"
He knew this figure very well. This man wasn't a human instead he was a ghoul, an undead creature. And this ghoul was the ghoul that was always beside that slave.
If he wasn't wrong that slave named this ghoul, Gul.
"You have to die," Gul opened his mouth and Gin's voice sounded.
"What the- Y-You! You're that slave! You can control the ghoul!" The driver was shocked as he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Yeah, it's my ability so you have to die. I don't want other people to know our existence." Gul said as he started to walk towards the driver.
"A-Ability... You have an ability... That's impossible. Those people wouldn't let..." He couldn't even finish his sentence as Gul grabbed his neck.
[Poisonous Touch]!
Gul activated his ability and poison seeped in the pores of the driver. In just a few seconds, he drew his last breath. He was an ordinary person so he didn't have much resistance to poison.
...
Gin opened his eyes as he withdraws his control over Gul's body, "It's finished. I can't let anyone disturb my plan."
It was too risky to let that man go back to the village. He couldn't afford it with his current status.
He stood up and called his citizens one by one. He had to know who they were and what's their origin. If they had any problem, he was willing to help with his full strength but he doubted his strength so they had to wait for a while until he grew stronger.
They were his first citizens so they have that privilege.
Lovi was the first one that he called. He was a slave ever since he was born. He was trained to support his master. He didn't even know the name of his parents.
Gin asked him if he wanted to meet his parents but Lovi shook his head. He didn't even know the appearance of his parents so even if he met his parents he wouldn't be able to recognize them.
Next was Rina. She was a small child that has the same age as Lovi. From her story, Gin learned that her parents sold her to the slave trader because of their debt. The slave trader planned to train her to become a sex slave. He was teaching her how to pleasure a man at such a young age.
He asked her if he wanted to reunite with her parents. Her answer was different from what he expected. She said that she didn't want to meet those people. She expressed her hate and anger to the people who abandoned her.
Damn! The culture of another world was really different from earth. Slave? Training a young girl how to pleasure a man? That was out of question on earth but in this world slavery was legal.
That was normal from this world but for him who came from another world, it felt disgusting.
He had to quickly adapt and learn more about this world to increase his survival rate.
