Chapter 2 - MISFORTUNE 1

"you are a disgrace to this family" a sound of an angry woman can be heard followed by a sound of slapping and punching over and over again.

My name is Xavier Walker, my life has always been miserable since the day i was born. My mother being a stripper, always goes around the world to have sex with whoever pays her.

One day she forgotten to use some contraceptive and became pregnant with an unknown man, she herself don't know who the father is. So she thought that it will be a great choice to do abortions.

But my grandparents being the most kind person i know, they don't agree with the idea and say that she should give birth to me.

My mother being the absolute shit, she says "if i give birth to this thing, then i cannot have sex again for 9 months right" proudly declaring that she is a pure bitch.

Somehow my grandparents manage to convince her to give birth to me, after i was born my mother give me to my grandparents, And she left to buy some milk and never coming back ever since.

My life has been going fine since my mother left us, my grandfather always tries his best to ensure i have a great job when i became an adult.

And my grandmother give me all of her love, to ensure i don't go the wrong way in live like my mother did.

And all of their efforts pays off, with me being a prodigy and all, they always stay humble despite how many numerous award i have been getting.

After living for 17 years suddenly my mother who has left came back, she's coming to the house with a change demeanor, making both of my grandparents anxious with her intentions.

After staying for 3 weeks, my grandparents start to accept their daughter ,despite everything she has done to them, she's try to becoming close to me too.

But with years living without her, make me doesn't have any slight bound with her, my grandparents told me to become more close with my mother, but after all she did to me and my grandparents there's no way i forgive her.

One day i have to left the country and have to goes to japan, because of work reason.

After about a month since i came to japan, somehow my grandparents never contacted me ever since.

When i finally done with my job and goes to my house, what i get is not a warm welcome from my grandparents but a deadly corpses of both of them.

I quickly called the police and they investigate me, after telling them all of my alibi, they start to search for my mom through all the country and manage to found her.

In my grandparents funeral, all of my family blame me for what happens to my grandparents, but me being your normal 17 years old cannot do anything but just accepting their blame.

I don't have anyone that i can feel safe with, so i found a way or rather a method to protect myself from this harsh world,and beside that method what i have is this game that always stay's with me since im turning 16.

***

I opened my eye after having a nightmare, gathering my consciousness i feel a lot of pain at the back of my head.

After remembering what has just happen, with a cold head i quickly observe my current condition.

Right now i was inside some sort of cart with a bunch of other people with chain on their hand, knowing that i have been chained too i quickly observe the position where this cart going right now.

Right now this cart has goes inside a forrest, seeing how rough the way out is i sighed.

Suddenly a pain coming through my body from behind my back, it's burn, it stings, and i hold back my screams.

Looking behind my back is see a knight that ride a horse with a whip in his hand, the knight look at me dead in the eye.

"The fuck you looking at! If you sighed one more time, your eye will be next"

Knowing there's nothing i can do i just stay out and silently use heal, i looked a the cart infront of us and there's where i find sister Lia.

Her current condition is really miserable, knowing what just happened to her, i bit my own lips.

Suddenly.

Looking at the front cart i see a city in a distance, a dark city.

***

After along time of traveling, we finnaly stopped in the most filthy place in this world, a place without a rule, a place where people killing each other is normal.

This world representation of the underworld, the city of sins Tentram.

The knight that lead the cart full of slave, goes to the knight that guard the city and give him an identification about the cart.

After a few negotiations, the knight came back to the cart, and tell the cart driver to go inside the city.

The gate of the city slowly opened up and the city start to appear, my first of impression of the city is only one.

Disgusting.

There's a lot of homeless people sleeping in front of a casino, there's a few kids that came to the cart and selling flowers.

But my felling telling me that the flower the kids sell is not just a flower, one of the knight came to the kids a slapped her.

Knowing that i can't do anything to help i just stay put and let the driver lead the way.

We stopped at some sort of circuses, with a lot of empty cages in front of it, the driver get down from the cart and goes to some guy wearing a very neat tuxedo with a mask on his face.

The driver come back to us, and tell us to go inside the circus from the backdoor, we goes according to what he says, so that we will not get whipped by them again.

The thing that i thought is a circuses is actually a slave auction,one of the staff come to us and goes to check the condition of our body.

Me being the last person in chain need to wait a long time before the staff finnaly came to me, and there's a few people that tries to run from the staff and end up being killed.

Seeing what the staff has done with a cold face, i know that i can't do anything.

***

"Slave number #74, hmm you are an half elf aren't you that's a plus point you have there, hmm you have a big genital too damn, it's around 9 inches, another plus point you have there."

The staff quickly write all of my good side and then left.

'I don't know why but that one staff seems familiar, like i have met him once,but where?'

After sorting my memory one name came to my head, a name that somehow unbelievable but it feels like it's the truth.

Rendy Moss.

That damn guy, if i knew he will sell me to this crowd i should've let him die with the wolf.

Don't think to much about the past it will only bring regret, whatever happens happens right? So live your live to it's fullest boy.

(About 7 hours later)

"Okay this is the last slave that we has today, 'Bunny' take slave number 70 - 74 here"

The bunny masked staff came to us and take the chain that tied to our hand to the podium.

"Okay so the 70th slave,he has a strong body that you can use as a porter for those who goes on adventure.

Okay the first price will come to the price of 1.000 gold."

"1.200"

"1.700"

"2.100"

"Going once, going twice... Sold to this young girl here, you can pay an pick up your slave in the counter"

***

"Okay and the last and the best slave, come to the podium slave number 74th"

I take a step and goes to the podium like what the person said, looking at the 'cutomer' i close my eyes and hoped, that the person who buys me is a good master

"As you all can see, this slave today is an half elf, with a perfect body, and the most amazing part..."

He take of the cloth that covering my lower body.

"...This 9 inches genital, you will love how it feel, right milady.and the first price will come to the price of 11.000 gold!!!"

"14.000"

"18.000"

"67.000"

"Is there anyone else that wants to bid for this amazing boy" everyone looking anxious including me.

the man that has bid for me, has a fat body and a lot of slave behind him, knowing that there's no one else that wants to bid the bid ,the manager has finally decided who is the winner of the auction.

"Going once... Going twi-"

From the crowd a beautiful young girl has lift her hand, stated that she has a price to fight with the fat man.

"1 million gold"

After hearing the woman's price, the fat man has given up on the bid.

" Going once, going twice Sold to this beautiful girl right there, you can pay an pick up your slave in the counter"

Knowing that i has become a slave, i cant do nothing but just to make a wry smile,and from the crowd i can see that the young girl shows a satisfied smile, like she has catches a jackpot.

*inside a nobel carriage*

My name is Xavier and im a transmigrator, today's topics is about what is going on?

After defeating a game i goes and get transmigrated to this world, and after only living for about a month i have become a slave for this novel lady.

But thank god, the novel lady is actually one of the character from M-O, if im doing it right i can somehow make her release me from becoming a slave.

And the said lady is now sitting across where im at, the said lady sure is a beautiful young girl, she has. A pink hair that fit her fire attribute, a red eye that show how hot his fire can be, and her place skin really match up all of the category of my dream woman.

"Your name is Xavier right?" I was a bit startled by her sudden question, but i still hold my composure.

"Yes, you're very correct master"

"Dont call me master, but you can call me lady's"

"I understood milady"

While on the travel she asked a lot of question about what im capable of, when i think she will ask me about how good i am in bed, but she's actually asking about my fighting skill.

And sometimes she asked about my homeland, well i don't really born here so i tell her about my homeland in earth.

Question after question and answer after answer, without realizing it we already arrived at the place where we stay for the night.

The knight set up the camp while the lady and i goes somewhere else.

***

"So... Why are we going inside the forest mila-" before i could finish my sentence, the lady suddenly grabbed the collar of the current clothes that i wear.

"You already now who i am aren't you?"

She asked me while looking at me dead in the eye.

Knowing that i cannot hide my thought, of course i answer her. "You're the daughter of Helios family right, lady Ran Helios"

"You are very correct" she release's my collar and take something from her back pocket.

It's a Wand, a very fancy looking Wand.

"Im going to release you, but with one condition" she pointed her wand at me.

"You shall become my subordinates"

I nodded telling her my answer.

With a gentle smile she shows some sort of relief hearing my answer, she start to cast a dispell on me, my body start to glow red and more red every time she done a spell.

"Dispell" all of the mana she release's centered around a spot on my back, that spot is the slave mark,i don't know that i have that

After casting dispell on me she seems very tired, well knowing that the slave mark on me must be a top notch it's understandable.

When i try to helped her, she suddenly pointed at a direction in the forest and tell me to leave from there.

"Heal" i healed her before i leave the place, but before i manage to leave the place, she grabbed the back of my clothes and give me a bag.

Receiving the bag i looked at her and ask her.

"Why do you helped me? you know that im a slave right?"

She sit at the rock behind her, she crossed her hand and answer my question.

"You might not know it yet, but im actually have a lot of debt in you. So i just want to pay back the debt, just that"

"I don't know what kind of debt you have, but whatever it is, i really appreciate for your help" i bow down to her and proceed to leave the place.

[Lady Ran Point Of View]

I looked at his back as he proceed to leave the place.

My name is Ran Helios the youngest daughter of duchess Dahlia Helios, and im a regressor.

This is my first time regressing back in time, so i don't really know about this thing called the butterfly effect.

But i hope that my actions will not cause any harm for the perfect future.

I goes back in time with the help of ǫndur of time Cronos, he tell me everything that that i need to know about going back in time.

And my sole reason of this regression is...

To safe my lover Xavier, he sacrifice himself in the future to safe the world, but not just this world but all world in existence.

I love him so much, but i think i cannot fell in love with this Xavier, the only way Xavier can make me fell in love with him is just one.

His determination.

I love how much he care of this world, i love him because he can sacrifice everything and get regressed for over million of time.

This is one of the few changes of the future i can manage for now.

The flow of time suddenly stopped, the world turn gray, and from the thin air a rift opened showing the figure of an old man.

The old man is blind and have a scar all over his body, that old man is Cronos, and the reason he came here is only one.

To take a part of my memory, he take it to make sure that there will be no other butterfly effect.

"I came here to take your payment, how have you've been lately, the last regressor?"

"Im good, like the contract you can only take a part of the memory, so that i can still remember my previous life even though it will be blurry"

He cast a spell with an ancient languages that i don't understand.

A magic circle are forming around my head, and as soon as the spell has done my head suddenly get a lot of pain, and slowly i start to forget everything that i know.

He leave after he take the right amount of memory, and the flow of time has goes back to it's normal state.

I touch my head and try to remember what just happened, but it's futile i don't remember anything.

From behind the bushes a knight suddenly appear. "Milady the tend has fully set, you can rest inside now."

I get up from the rock and follow the knight and goes to the tend.

"Milady where's that slave has gone to?"

I touch my lips an tried to remember but i don't remember anything,"he dies tried to safe me from a bear"

"WHAT!!! where is that guy right now miss?"

I pointed at the forest and the knight go there in such a short time.
