Satoshi continued to look up as if he hadn't seen anything, Zephyros shouted angrily.
''Hey, I'm talking to you!''
Satoshi looked really depressed.
''What's the point?''
'''Haa!? What's the point of what?''
''I can't achieve anything I want even though I try my best. I'm saying what's the point of living, man?''
The man sleeping on Satoshi's other side stopped snoring and straightened up,
"Finally someone who speaks my tongue!''
The man took a sip of his drink and approached Satoshi's cell. He put his drink down in Satoshi's cell and said,
''Life's a cruel joke, kid. You start off thinking you're invincible, and then you end up here, with nothing but regrets and a bottle of whiskey."
Satoshi looked down at the drink, rolled his eyes and said with a sigh,
"Sure''
Satoshi stood up to get the drink and approached the man's cell. Although he could not see the man's face in the darkness, his features were clear.
He had a very long white beard, the front of his head was bald and the back of his head was long hair down to his waist. Although he was skinny, his belly was swollen from constant drinking.
Satoshi picked up the drink and sat down next to him. Satoshi's eyes were filled, he wiped them with his sleeve and said,
''I-I thought I finally understood what I wanted to do with my life, old man! But no matter what I did, I couldn't reach this vision... Every attempt ended in failure. I even found power while chasing this dream, but that didn't work either, and just when I thought I could at least enjoy this power, I ran into the wrong guy...''
The man reached over to Satoshi's cell and took another sip of the drink and said,
"They tell you to follow your dreams kid, but they don't tell you what to do when the dreams turn into nightmares."
Satoshi took another sip of the drink and tried to hold back his tears as the man asked.
''What was your dream, son?''
''My dreams were big, old man... A milf with big breasts, a milf that when I find myself at the bottom, like I am now, I can hug her big breasts and find peace!''
The man looked away and took a sip of his drink. He had a bitter smile on his face as he nodded in agreement,
"I used to have dreams like you when I was younger. Thought I could conquer all the milfs in the world..."
Zephyros couldn't understand what these two were talking about and was watching them on the floor in confusion. A man approached Zephyros' cell, Satoshi, and looked at the old man and said to Zephyros,
"If I were you, I wouldn't listen that old man at all. The last 10 people who talked to that man got depressed and committed suicide.''
Zephyros called Satoshi,
"Hey, don't pretend I'm not here! I'll make you pay for what you did to me!''
The old man looked at Zephyros and said to Satoshi,
''At least you weren't born a ginger. Life's tough enough without that added burden."
Satoshi and the man looked at each other and laughed, while Zephyros bit his lip in frustration.
The old man and Satoshi drank and talked all night as if they had been friends for years. In the morning they retreated to their corners and slept until nightfall.
In the evening a large man hit the cells with his sword and woke them up. Then he threw a piece of bread into each cell and left.
Satoshi took the bread, started eating it and thought, 'It's not so different from what I used to eat in my previous life.''
The old man wasn't eating his share, he handed it to Satoshi and said.
"Take it, kid. I've lived more than my share of this miserable life. Got no dreams left, no goals worth chasing. But you... you still have time. Don't waste it like I did."
Satoshi took the bread, a tear slipped down the man's cheek as the man patted Satoshi on the back and said,
"I couldn't achieve that dream, but I believe in you. If it's you, you can get at least one milf before you die."
Satoshi's eyes met the old man's, a single tear tracing a path down his cheek.
"I'll make it happen!''
Satoshi whispered, his voice quivering with determination. "For both of us. You'll see."
On the other side, Zephyros, his hands and legs tied, was trying to grab the bread with his mouth. For the first time Satoshi didn't give him a condescending look, he looked at him as if he had no enemies.
Satoshi reached into Zephyros' cell, picked up the bread and placed it near to Zephyros' mouth.
After taking the bread, Zephyros said, "I didn't need your help.''
Satoshi said rolling his eyes, "Of course not, can you explain to me how you ended up here? I thought you were strong''
Zephyros snapped and said, "I am strong!''
Zephyros' cheeks flushed and he said, ''T-they tricked me...''
*Short Flashback About How Zephyros Got Captured*
After Zephyros caught the man in the black cloak, he was taking him for interrogation. Just as he was leaving the dead-end street, four men in black cloaks appeared in front of him
A pioneer with a medium length sword rushed to him and Zephyros dodged back and dashed on his side then rolled over his back. With that surprising move he used the velocity and landed in front of the other swordsman, which had a zweihander and so he couldn't unsheathe it at that instance and got kicked in the head and got his head blown up with the force.
Then he locked on to the big guy which was running towards him. But at that mere seconds he saw a wand over the guy's shoulder, Zephyros got shocked and when he started to process the wand glowed and casted a flash, turns out the mage mounted the big guy and casted it as a surprise attack. Turns out the side characters actually have brain in this fucking novel.
While our guy was blinded, the big guy has reached his own melee range and then, he reached for the mage's wan- nah, he reached for the fucking mage grabbed by his arm and said
"We ain't no sidekicks, bicht, bitch? Nah it was betch, right?"
then he used the mage which was screaming but at the same time weeping proudly as a club and hit Zephyros on the head which concluded as Zephyros' blacking out.
**
Satoshi didn't really believe Zephyros,
"They set you up, huh?''
"Y-yes.''
''Is that so...''
"What is it? You don't believe me!?''
"I believe you, but I don't want to talk about it right now.''
''What do you want to talk about!?''
Satoshi said, pointing his finger at Zephyros on the ground,
"This.''
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!''
"What's your anger problem, man? You wanna tell me what's wrong?''
"Like you don't know!''
"Honestly, I don't''
"And now you're mocking, damn it, you're the cause of this problem!''
Satoshi said, pointing at himself in surprise, ''Me?''
''Of course you! You killed the Archbishop and took his place! And you robbed every store in the city while I was guarding you!''
Satoshi was surprised, "Whaaaat?! I didn't kill the archbishop''
''Oh really? Then why did you have the dead archbishop's cloak, huh?!''
''Hooo, he obviously gave me his cloak and asked me to participate in the ritual while he decided to rest in a closet''
"Why would he do such a thing? Are you deceiving a child?''
"Why do you care so much, was he a good boss?''
Zephyros was momentarily flabbergasted and said, "It doesn't matter if he's a good boss or not! My job was to protect him and I failed because of you. And if that wasn't enough, you've been insulting me all week.''
''I can't say anything about the second one, but why would you want to be the bodyguard of a person who is weaker than you and a wicked man?''
The old man joined the conversation,
"You a bodyguard? This short, wretched life is meaningless when you spend it working and risking your life for others. Don't waste your days like I did. Find your own path, kid!"
Satoshi, "He is right, you should take the old man's advice.''
Zephyros' anger wouldn't let up, "It doesn't matter if he's a good or bad person! I worked my whole life to get this job and you ruined everything!''
Satoshi couldn't keep his cool any longer and said, ''Why does a skilled warrior like you have to protect a pedophile like him? Because he's in a position of power? Are you that weak to make a path for yourself, even though you're so strong in combat?''
Zephyros let out a "tsch!" and said, "How would you know? You don't realize how important this is to us Beast-folks. My ancestors worked as slaves until the current king came to power, and now we can work as bodyguards for the highest people and earn very good money!''
Satoshi looked at him pityingly and said "So you're happy that they promoted you from slave to bodyguard?! Tell me what humans are to you Zephyros, are they superior to you? Huh?!''
Zephyros replied without thinking, "Of course they are!''
Satoshi's look of pity was replaced with disgust and he said, "You're in a much worse situation than I thought, you're not only a ginger, you're an imbecile.''
Zephyros was affected by Satoshi's reaction and thought about what he had asked him. Unable to find an answer, he rolled over, turned his back and continued to eat his bread in silence.
Soon dozens of men in black cloaks entered. One by one they tied everyone up and led them out of the cell and put them in a line.
They carried Zephyros away with his legs tied. When they came out, while there were watchmen looking around, they took everyone in wagons, one by one, and carried them to another place.
They moved them to a theater-like place with seats and a stage, and they took all the captives to the back.
They put Satoshi and the old man straight into a cell. Among the remaining slaves, the handsome and beautiful ones were dressed in nice clothes and put on make-up, the strong-looking ones were oiled up to make their bodies more presentable, the women with big tits and the men with big dicks were stripped naked.
The preparations were over and it was time for the slave auction...
The employee had given the volunteers numbered signs. Now it was time for the auction to begin.
A masked man stepped onto the stage and began to speak,
''Welcome, our noble and dignified wealthy guests. Today we have slaves that will be worth every second of your time! If there are new participants among you, allow me to briefly explain the process''
Spot lights hit three areas on the stage, the man said, pointing from right to left,
''Slaves will be auctioned in three areas, A, B and C. You can wait and participate in the auction by lifting your numbers that our employees have distributed. So bring out the slaves!''
Of course, from A to C, the quality of slaves was decreasing.
A naked dragon hybrid with crimson eyes and long red hair appeared under the A spotlight. It seems that the tail of this type of dragon grows out in front, otherwise there is no other logical explanation for this thing.
Under spotlight B, a foxy beast-folk with orange short hair appeared, a beautiful woman over 180 cm tall, dressed in an outfit that showed off her attractive legs. Which was oddly familiar to us…,
And under spotlight C, well, there was our guy Satoshi…
The man shouted to start the auction,
"A at 10 gold, B at 7 gold, C at..." the man looked at Satoshi, turned to the audience and said, "5 silver coins. Don't be fooled by his appearance, we have brought him from the north as you can see. He's good for labors and he doesn't eat much!''
Satoshi thought sorrowfully, 'Uh-but…but I do eat too much. Wait a minute, What do you mean 5 silvers?! at least make it 1 gold'
He looked at the slaves in A and B and thought, 'Fair enough'
The bidding started, the whole audience was wearing different animal masks. A woman in the middle seats raised her number for A. The man said,
"I've already got 10 gold for A. Anyone want to raise?''
someone raised his number from the back seats and said,
"20 gold for A''
Another woman, "50 gold''
*100 gold!*
*150 gold*
A red-haired milf with big breasts raised her number and said, "300 Gold!!!''
Satoshi thought enviously, "It should have been me...''
*Yes, I'm selling 1, I'm selling 2, I'm selling 3. A goes to our beautiful lady in the back.*
Next up, the auction for the fox lady has begun,
*7 gold*
*15 gold*
*30 gold!
*50 gold*
*500 gold!*
The man was surprised and looked at the crowd, "Did I hear 500?!
A man sitting in the front row of the crowd was holding up his number, he was quite a big man both in width and height. He had a thumbs-down tattoo on his wide neck, he wasn't wearing a mask but strangely his face was not visible...
Auctioneer shouted, "Yes 500 gold from our guest in the front row please give him a spotlight!''
Even though the spotlight hit the man, his face was still not visible, what is this?
A/n: To unlock this character's skin, pay 2.99 dollars
Ahh what the hell is that, now he's looking straight up into the light! But only his dark features are showing.
