I left the old man fishing while following the direction he gave me.
"Seems like I am in a medieval world… she did say that guns does not exist… maybe they are useless since there is explosion magic… the building seems like in the medieval time too… what a strange world… maybe they have objects using magic… I should not judge too quickly" I muttered while walking.
I saw many intelligent beings, even elves and dwarfs. There were a lot of woman I guess. I was not able to always distinguish if it was the case or not… so many races living in harmony… is there no racism? No race that use this excuse to dominate others? No race that use force to do genocides? If that is true, I should praise that god! What was her name again? I forget.
I saw a huge building among the usual ones.
"So that is the adventurous guild? It is quite a huge one. It seems to be as big as the Château de Versailles"
"Yes it is but I did not understand the rest of what you said" a girl with dog ears tell me.
She was next to me, I have not noticed her as I was lost in my thoughts.
"Oh, do you work there?" I ask.
"No I am like you, an adventurer. Need a team?" she asked.
'A team? Ah yes that god did say that my explosion magic could hurt my companions… maybe it is normal to be part of team…'
"I just arrived there, I will think of it" I declined politely.
"Yeah sure, just tell them that you are looking for Jenny if you are interested. They should be able to contact me if you describe me. Well then, see you" she said before joining a group of what seems to be composed of males.
'I thought males were rare… did she have her own harem? I am happy that I am not an easy boy'
I entered the building and was amazed by what I saw. The mess inside the hall was something to see. It was overcrowded. What seems to be pixies were flying everywhere, people were drinking and talking loudly around a huge number of table.
I was lost in my contemplation when I arrived at the counter without realizing it.
"Mister?" said a lovely voice.
I went back to reality and looked at the source of the voice.
'Holy shit a demon! Those horns, those bat wings, those curves…'
I could not help but want to eat her. Literally.
"First time seeing a succubus?" she asked.
"Y-yeah. I am sorry" I said before looking down. It was hard for my eyes to quit her body.
That is so embarrassing. How I am supposed to resist that urge when I see her body? That is just... impossible.
"Do not worry, I am used to it" she said before raising my head.
"So may I help you?" she added.
"Yes miss! I am here to see my level. Can you explain me how to do it" I asked politely while resisting my urge.
'Think of your wife and your kids… eh? Why? They are not there... Will I even be able to see them again? She did not tell me anything'
"Are you registered?"
"Eh? Registered? To the guild? No"
"In that case, we will first register you. What is your name?"
'My name? Should I use the one I had on earth? Maybe that name will look strange… I could try to have a badass name… if someone else from earth arrive there, they might notice it! What if that god send my wife and kids there? If I use a fake identity they will not be able to know that it is me… but they will notice a badass name. I am sure they will!'
"My name is Napoleon" I said proudly.
Yeah, that one of the few French general globally known. People should be able to notice it.
"Na-napoleon? What a strange name" she replied.
'Strange? Naive succubus… but that is part of her charm… I should stop thinking about this'
"Yes. Napoleon"
"Alright. Please put your hand on that glob. We will be able to know your level as well as your capabilities" she said before placing it on the desk.
I did as she said and I could see a piece of paper shining next to it.
"Level 1, capabilities: explosion magic, sand magic and… and… I am sorry I have to go" she said before running in a room behind.
"Eh? Illusion magic I believe it is… why did she ran away? Is it because I glare too much?" I sighed.
I looked around and find another woman near my place. She looked like another employee. Oh that an elf, she is quite lovely too.
"Miss! your colleague…"
"She will come back soon. Something unexpected must have happen" she replied before resuming her conversation with someone else.
'Maybe there was a bug. I often had to fix them back on earth'
After waiting for 5 minutes, she finally came back with another woman.
"Vice guild leader" the elf I talked with, muttered.
The very noisy environment felt silent.
"That is the one I talk about" said the succubus while pointing me.
'Did not she learn that pointing to people is disrespectful?'
"My Lord, please to meet you" said the Vice Leader before bowing.
"Eh? Lord? Who? Me?" I said anxiously.
"Of course you, my Lord. Not anyone can discover a new field of magic" she said.
The silent environment gained a little noise suddenly. People were whispering to each other.
"The guild would like to thank you for sharing your illusion magic with us. With this, we will give you the amount of 10 million credits"
"10 million? That is 10 dragoon heads we are talking about!" complained the elf on the counter.
"Oh right my bad. We will give you 20 millions" nodded the vice guild leader.
'Eh? I thought she complained because it was too much… I have no idea about the value of it but it seems a lot'
"Oh well thanks" I managed to say.
"You should not need to work anymore" said the succubus before giving me the paper I saw shining.
"The amount has been versed on the card, you can used it as you wish. If there is any problem in the future please contact me directly" said the vice guild leader.
"I will" I said.
I watched her turning her back and walking away.
"Oh please I have a question. Do you know an adventurer called Jenny?"
The hall fell silent again.
"You should avoid her or you might become her slave… well with your money you might be able to defend yourself in the tribunal… did she pose you any problem?"
"Oh no she asked me if I wanted to team up with her"
"Please do not, it always end badly. With that money you should be able to buy elixirs to increase your lifespan and enjoy a nice and peaceful life" she advised me.
'Oh I should listen to her… seems we can have slaves in that world'
"Well then I will take my leave" I said hastily.
I did not like having all the gazes on me.
'Should I really do nothing and enjoy life? I am not sure that is what that god wants me to do… else she would have given me a nice mansion instead of a katana…' I wondered while resuming my walking.
"I guess I should find an accommodation first… maybe I could get a mansion... but should I? I mean if I want to travel it might be useless to buy one… maybe first I should learn about the value of credits" I muttered while walking toward some shops.
I saw shops for food but I did recognize nothing that was inside. Same for beverages. How I am supposed to evaluate the value of credits? Damn it. Same for clothes, I have no idea what they are made of, maybe I only found cheap stuff? Or expensive stuff? How I am supposed to know? Weapons are made of materials I do not know off… after spending two hours I was more lost than before.
'I cannot even ask to a random person… he might try to steal me if that is a lot of money… maybe I should ask her'
I looked toward the sky like an idiot and tried my chance.
'Hey goddess, is 20 million credits a lot?' I asked silently.
The result was, as expected, a big silence.
'Well if it corresponds to 20 millions euros then we can say that I am rich'
Maybe I should have buy a drink to everyone in the hall. I could have earn more information…
What I could not know is that, by that time, everyone in the city knew about me. Indeed, it has been more than a millennia since a new magic had been discovered. It is just a matter of days before the whole planet knows about it. Of course, I was ignorant of it.
'Why do they keep looking at me? Stop with your greedy eyes!' I thought angrily while looking at the shopkeepers.
'Damn they already know right? Well then it means that I am rich! I am sure of it now!'
That is when I saw an interesting street. When I say interesting, I should say that I kind of loath it. Women and men could be seen attached to collars and exposed in front of shops as if they were products.
'I know we did it in the past on earth but I am happy slavery stopped' I thought while looking at them.
"I have to free some of them. I have money, I can do it" I muttered while entering the street.
'That world is not perfect after all' I sighed internally.
"Dear customer, did you see something that catch your eyes?" a voluptuous woman said with her greedy eyes.
'So she knows too… well that the first time I see a human there'
"Oh a fellow human, I am surprised"
"Are you? It is true that there is only a few of us there. Would you like to buy a human slave?"
'Eh? What kind of slave should I free? I wonder…'
"Do you have some succubus?" I asked before looking down.
'Damn those urges… I guess I can have fun while I am waiting to see my wife and kids again… right? I mean that girl in the guild she was really attractive...'
"Succubus? Interesting for a human to ask for a demon race… is it because we cannot have children with them? Oh, I should not ask… I have two of them if I remember correctly. Do you want to see them?"
"Yes please"
"Alright, then follow me"
We passed in front of many crowded cages where people were naked. That sigh disgusted me. How could she be that inhuman? She is a human like me, right? Does not have she any feelings?
"Ah here they are" she said before pointing me to cage.
'A blond one and a blacked hair one… I love them.. those curves… those pink eyes... they do not have hairs on their bodies… damn stop those urges! They are even greater than backin the guild… they are both naked…'
"Their age?"
"15, they just finish school. You can use them for your sexual needs as well as for adventuring. They consented to it"
"Oh… how did they became slave?"
"Orphans. They will be slave until they can pay their debt to the orphanage they lived in"
'Oh I see there is no such things as charity there..'
"Do you wish to see their capacities?"
"Y-yes" I replied.
'She surprised me. Is it a criteria when buying?'
"The blond one is specialized in dual swords, she learned three different dual-swordsmanship. The other one learned darkness, blood and bones magic. Interested?" she said before looking back at me.
"The price?"
"40000 credits. They are just level 10 after all"
'Only 40000? That seems to be a correct price. Should I try to negotiate it?'
As if reading my mind, she added "It is not negotiable. You might not know but prices are not negotiable in slave trades. We follow strict rules"
"Oh I did not know… I will buy them but can you please give them some clothes?"
"Of course. 100 credits for two plain clothes"
"Deal"
She took her card and waited.
"Please take out your card, else I cannot give you ownership"
"Ah yes… Are there some restrictions placed on them?" I asked while taking out my card.
'I just hope she cannot see my amount of credits'
"Do not worry we cannot see your amount of money. Of course I know that you just earned a lot but people will soon forget. About the restrictions, they are forced to obey any of your orders and they are linked to you. If you die, they will too"
'But I am just level 1… I do not even know how long I will be able to live…'
"Can we free them?"
She laughed loudly.
"If you pay their debt they can be freed. Even in that case, they will be rejected by the society… I am not sure their life will be better than being with you" she said seriously.
'Since I have money it might be better to keep them then…'
"Also be aware that the orphanage might refuse your money. Slaves should be useful to the society before their debt disappeared. That is main goal of it"
'So killing monsters as an adventurers will help the town to be in peace… even if they are used as whores they will help the town since people may not need to rape someone in order to be satisfied… anyway, let us just free them later'
"The transaction is done. I will give you the clothes in a moment. Please wait there" she said before leaving me.
What an awkward situation. I looked at my card and could see a rubric named slaves. Two names where inside it: Anna and Laura.
I was expecting the salves to pity me in order to buy them but they are strangely silent. Can they even talk?
"Can you talk?" I asked to the succubus.
They both nodded but did not talk.
"They are not allowed to talk inside the cages" said the slave trader while coming back.
"Oh that is why it is silent"
"Yeah it is more convenient" she said before giving me two grey piece of clothes.
"This is yours" I said before giving it to them through the bars.
They quickly put it on them.
"You are wrong. This is yours. Slaves cannot have possessions" corrected me the slave trader before opening the cage.
"Oh..."
"Do you wish to buy more slaves?"
"Not at the moment"
'Let us quickly leave that place. I am not feeling well there'
"Very well, then I should see you next time"
"Before I leave, can you recommend me a good accommodation? I will need one for a few weeks"
"With your budget you should be able to rent a room at the central palace. It is two streets away, to the north. You can even order some slaves to join you at night" she said before opening the door of her shop.
"Thank you" I said before leaving, followed by the girls.
"I should be the one saying this" she giggled.
'Finally, I am out of here'
Now what should I do?
