Chapter 2 - Slave

using the map that was in the System I escaped the unknown forest, now I'm driving in an unfamiliar land the road was rocky and muddy but thats not a problem for me because this truck I was driving was made for off roads like this.

I don't have a destination I don't even know where I was going, I'm just driving mindlessly, the system said that this world civilizations was in the bronze era right now.

sigh "so it means I have the most advance technology right now, it also means that I have the most advance brain in this era"

[that's right]

"I don't really care what people think but since this is a world I know nothing I'll be in danger sooner or later, I need a guide someone who live in this sorld"

[then how about a slave?]

"slave? slavery exist at this era?"

[yes, you should get to a nearby town and buy a slave that suit your taste]

while driving Souta's eyes darken it's either he pity the people here nor want to help them, it's just that he can't do about it.

slavery is already a "culture" to them and breaking that culture is harder than making a kingdom, many big shot will surely won't sit still if ever that culture will get disband.

also this is a world without a "country" that means this is a world that ruled by tribe, if two tribe fights the one who lose will automatically be put in slavery, man women, children and old people will work none stop.

[master, there should be a town 1km away from here you should arrive there any minute now]

standing at the front of the towns gate, there are no guards it's in usual to have no guards at the gate. Souta walks in.

what he found amaze him, standing at the busy road, carriage is what they use not cars also there are many different races here.

people that have dog tail and a dog ears, cat, fox, wolf, and many more this is a town for trading purpose.

I should get to what I come here for, Souta walks to an alley it's dark any not many people can see you.

while walking suddenly someone bump into me, "ahh I'm very sorry" while the person bow his/her head Souta can't see his/her face because it's wearing a coat.

"it's okay" with a bright smile "then I'll get going" she/he runs away, the coat slightly fell off and I saw a wolf ears.

"come! come! a new batch of slaves are into sell!" I didn't pay attention to the person that bump into me, I came here for a slave.

"young man! I see that you came all the way from here with that outfit of yours, you're new here are you?" the fat old man said it with confidence "yes, and I want a slave" "then come and take a look just call me if you find anything that interest you"

I straightly walks and look around, a group of slaves are standing with both their hands and feet tied, looks like this tribe lose to a battle.

I can only pity them even if I buy them I can't feed many people at once, also they might betray me anytime I can't trust my back to a people like that.

while walking I noticed that there are a person inside a wooden cage the cage was also covered, I take a peak and I saw a girl her skin are peeling off it's worse once you look at her you might puke of how disgusting she look right now.

her dried lips, her thin body I can't even recognize this as a human anymore "oh, young man I wouldn't recommend you that slave, it's look like she was cursed"

cursed? isn't this just a skin disease? system [yes] is it possible to cure her? [with your current points, yes it's possible] I see... "if she's cursed you'll trow her sooner or later isn't?"

"yeah... her condition are getting worse and worse, treating her will only cost more than she is" Hiro stand up "then how about I buy her? she should be cost that much isn't?" the slave owner sighed "no it's actually a big help that you buy it, since I'll be throwing her sooner or later I'll give it to you for free"

"oh, really? then I'll take that offer" Hiro glared at the slave owner "don't worry I'll come back and buy a slave to you when I need more" Hiro said it with a cold voice "hah.. so you know what your doing, then thank you for your purchase"

Hiro kneel down and asked "can you walk?" the girl opens her dried lips and forcing her voice to come out "ye..s.." with a fragile voice, Hiro take off the cover and open the cage he help her get out but suddenly Hiro carry her.

her skin is disgusting that looking at it you might get puke yet Hiro still carry her at his back, "yo..u.. do.. nt.. have" "it's okay, you'll be better soon I promise you" after walking away from the shop in the alley the back of the building Hiro take the girl down Hiro let her drink a bottle of water "hah.. it's been while since I drink a fresh water"

"I won't ask for your name nor what happened to you in the past, what I want to know is.. do you.. want to live?"

she look at me with an eye that already lose hope "I..don't want to" "is it because of your body condition?" "yes, where one of the ordinary tribe but suddenly another tribe attacks us it's not like a want a revenge or anything since its already normal to get attack if your weak"

"I'm the only child my mother had, my mother and father died at the war, I got separated to people I know so if you ask me if I want to live then I answer no"

"I see... how about living a new life?"

"new... life..?"

"if your given a chance to life another life, then do you want to live?"

she was confused and think about it "if it's a new life then, I want to make that life without any regrets" Hiro smiled he swing his hand then press an icon at the system, the girl starts glowing her skin was starting to healed, her bleeding stops "what...?" a minute past and the girl gets cured as if she wasn't the girl you saw earlier she's completely different.

"from today onwards I declare that the your old self is dead! and today is the day you are born your name is Aria and you will follow me no matter what" although she was confused but one thing is for sure that, that man save her.

Hiro extends his arms to Aria and Aria holds it agreeing to the pact Hiro made "then Aria I'm Hiro, Hirotaka Hiro" "master..." "what?"
