" Terry woke up with a start and that very second , he glanced around his environment, studying it immensely. He looked around and noticed he was in a different house , a shaby looking one .
For a moment, Terry was not aware of the fact that he was still alive . He was so stunned about the fact that he was in an unknown world.
He turned sideways to notice four young men beside him . He wanted to speak before he got a notification .
[You have acquired a Slave system.]
[Name : Terry Hodsman as Cunis Vod .]
[Occupation: Slave of Mr. Wesdon]
[ Rank:rank one]
[ Talents Flames]
[State: Cursed by the Pollen Lord ]
[ Level:One ]
[ Stats:STG:7. SPD:5. AGL:6 . LUCK:4]
[Points:10]
"What the fuck is all these ?" Terry muttered under his breathe . He stared at the notification before him and he could not help but wonder what it meant by ' Cursed by Pollen Lord '
Who the fuck was Pollen Lord and what was this system ? What did it mean by him being a slave and fuck, to Mr. Wesdon?!
Terry could no longer hold his nerves. He turned to the four men but they were busying themselves with something, he didn't know.
"It is how every new slave behaves upon noticing his fate." one of the men said . Terry later got to know he was Curl .
"Please what is this place?" Terry pleaded .
" Just call the Pit of Slavery but it's real name is Dead World. " Soden as Terry later learnt said with his attention fully engrossed in what he was doing.
"What do you mean Dead World ? Am I dead ?" Terry asked with curiousity flowing through his veins .
Gorz laughed hard and made jest of Terry's lack of knowledge. Terry did not take this funny .
"Hey would you stop laughing like a monkey chopper." Terry cautioned . He hated to be humiliated by anyone except he was totally helpless as in Mr. Wesdon's case.
"Seems like the pretty system he acquired makes him think much of himself ." Gorz mocked . Terry stared at him in complete awe.
Had they also received a strange system ? Were they slaves and precisely, were they owned by Mr. Wesdon?
These thoughts got him thinking hard . Was he also going to be a slave? Never! He would not let himself be a slave when he was supposed to be somewhere probably under a cool tree preparing for his forth coming exams .
"What do you mean?" Terry asked finally .
" As a conduct in this world , every slave brought into this world must possess super physical and sometimes magical abilities . "Soden said nd he raised his gaze high enough to catch those of Terry .
"What is your talent ?" Soden asked curiously. Terry gazed at him before answering .
"Flames." He said it with a bit of uncertainty. He did not know what this would imply. What if he was weakling acquiring a weakling talent but he knew Flames was going to be commendable.
"Wow! Not much slaves get such befitting talents on landing. You are lucky. I got the talent of Speed and I am now a level fourteen. It took me only six months to do so. "Soden said as he smiled with pride . It was his biggest achievement so far.
Terry smiled back . He was sad as he looked across the shabby room that would now become his home. So he will be a slave after all . He looked at the four slaves doing their job.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. He could buy himself off slavery. He looked at Soden with demanding eyes before speaking up.
"Can I buy myself off slavery ?" he asked and Curl was the one who replied him.
"I would advice , you abort the plan. Masters over here can be so greedy and when you end up paying for your freedom, they either sell you out to a higher rank master. Master Wesdon isn't bad when compared to other masters. "
Terry stared blankly not knowing what to say or do . His only hope had just been crushed but he happy thar he learnt about this before venturing into it . But how could a man who had the heart to kill a high school student be kind when compared to other masters.
Probably, their were wicked souls in the name of masters. Or they did not know what Mr. Wesdon did on earth .
He let out a deep sigh. Then he collapsed onto the stone like bed. But Gorz seemed to hate his presence.
"Is he not supposed to join us in getting the cubic shell off this creature." Gorz said with a slight evidence of envy in his voice.
"He is new and master will tell him what to do . We are not supposed to order him around . "Soden said in Terry's rescue.
Terry did not have the energy to tell them that he was not planning to partake in any form of slave work. He did not have strength to argue with them about the chances of his freedom.
The room went quite for some time as Terry pondered on what to do next. What was he to do now? Was he going to sit here all day? But he was not planning on staying here for more than a day . He was going to find out a way to leave this place.
Damn! He was not going to be a slave for the rest of his life. He could not dash out his dreams of passing his exams and coming out of college school as a renowned scientist .
Suddenly , the door creaked open . All five heads turned to check out who it was . Terry saw a male so muscular than if we're to be on earth, he would win so much wrestling contest that everyone would fear him.
"Cunis Vod, master summons your presence." the muscular said giving Terry a stern look. Terry felt a sudden unease within him .
"Yeah, I will be with him shortly." Terry said and they all stared at him. It seemed like he had just muttered an abomination. But whatever, the muscular left without saying much.
Terry looked at the other four when the muscular man left . They stared at him unevenly but Terry could sense trouble in their stare.
"What is the matter? Did I do something wrong ?" Terry asked with casualty.
" Of course. You just gave the master a rude respond . You can get a serious punishment for that . "Curl said.
Terry shrugged in fear . He remembered the skull he saw in hole on the wall in Mr. Wesdon's house. A fresh set of shivers ran down his spine. He stood up from the awful bed and was on his way to the door when a system notification appeared before him.
[ Daily Task : Precisely do as your master instructs you to ]
[ Punishment : Reduction in your present status by five points .]
Damn! This system was really too odd. How could he be forces to be a slave . Then he remembered that he had acquired a slave system . Maybe this was the way the world kept the slaves as slaves. He sighed deeply.
He opened the door and to his surprise he found out that the world so awkward . He could see tall trees and long standing houses that seemed to be just exactly as the one he was emerging from .
The system popped out a notification again .
[ Master's place is foward . A big red building with a symbol of a roaring wolf.]
"What do I have to there ? Why is he summoning me ?" Terry asked confused.
[ It is a normal routine for new slaves to speak with their masters and receive a first task .]
Terry was so surprised and thrilled. The system was voice functional. He smiled but his mind pondered on what his first task would be. He began to have a bad feeling about this but the thought of lossing five potential points kept him going. He took another deep sigh .
