chapter 2

Waking up is the best part of life….. I just wish i had some folgers to put in my cup…. How i miss coffee… well i never actually drank it… i just miss that i had that option… coffee is like a security blanket… even if coffee was in this world…. How could you grow it commercially…

There is one great thing about this world … there no worries about unemployment… none notta zilch…. There is always a job around here… even if you are a shit servant you can get a job…

After all you only get paid after a job is done it does not matter how long you take to do it… and the lowest job come with a motivational collar. Indentured slaves… have this nifty motivational technique….they stick this magic collar on them. And if they don't follow the orders to the best of their ability. Not someone else's but their very own ability.  Then that collar will shock the ever living shit out of them…. Then there ass will get up in a hurry and race off to do what they are supposed to do…

This morning i heard an amazing sound… i at first thought i heard a electric bug zapper…. Then i heard a squelch followed by a weird keening sound my door burst open and that slave i picked up from daryl, the ex fat girl, super noble mage girl.. Yeah she was motivated today to do household chores like you would not believe… my chamber pot was super clean before i even emptied my bladder….

When your looking at the efficiency of this… you really have to wonder why did we resort to bonuses for good work in america...shouldn't you always do good work…

Well thinking so i also got to work doing chores… today my aunts wanted to go shopping. me and daryl had to follow along with are slaves… baggage handlers…

In and out of stores we traveled up and down flights of stairs….i have to admit that you will almost never see a women with flabby legs… every women has well toned legs and thighs… it is simply beautiful and do they strut….

Even though i have grown used to this world i simply can not see a better place then this… healthcare who needs health care, pay a little for healing magic… jobs there is always a job to do.. Food could be better but honestly once you get used to eating fast food this food is way better. Then fast food or tv dinners…

You miss your tv show friends… well here you can hang out at the bar and relive that life of nothingness.

Speaking of a merchant from another city that is still part of this kingdom passed news that are neighboring kingdom is under siege…. Some kingdoms are seriously stupid… how are you going to maintain your lines…. Even if that kingdoms castle has shorter walls… or is easier to breach then are current city walls… how are you going to maintain a distant castle from your own kingdom… your supply lines will be cut… there a reason merchants make a killing traveling between each kingdom or even between cities within a kingdom. The rewards are proportional to the risk.

Well I watched merchants buy a surplus of battle slaves, while cooling my heals just outside the door waiting for my aunts to finish their shopping they are currently doing inside this store.. Looking around you will also see other men doing exactly what i am doing. some even look like they are in there 40s. Following a little girl who comes out from shopping… this just reinforces the fact. This kingdom and this city is a matriarchal society… i bet that man was older then that girl by a 100 years...yet she still has the power to order him around.. And he was probably her uncle. No slave collar on him.

Honestly it does not bother me. But it does jar me from time to time. I was from america… we pretended that men and women had equal rights. However when it came down to a judge a women would always get more than just a benefit of the doubt some laws were written in favor of women even if they were found incompetent.

Here in this society… which was extremely harsh to men… incompetent women also had a learning curve those who did not cut it often landed on the 1st floor to be pushed out with garbage…

In city almost all fights were between women and women. Rarely would you see a man get into a fight with another man… and a man fight a women… know your place...even a man from the same family would beat the ever living daylights out of the man who raised his hands up to a women…

The one exception to this would be a duel between a pregnant women and a women not pregnant …. While the man could not fight back… he could step between the two women… life expectancy was as good as a mayfly…

Watching my aunts come out i go to gather the bags off there arms. Following behind them is nice. All my aunts have bountiful breasts and they seem to levitate… when walking i often see them bounce… this really is heaven on earth.

Following along behind them.. We stop by a guild hall. Here the youngest aunt goes in to get her mana evaluated… this is mostly like a yearly check up to see if you have improved nothing major.

After that we stopped at a local pub… there we ate honey glazed boar each of us received about 4 ounces of meat and paid around 8 silvers for each serving. The slaves received a soup that had the smaller chunks of meat from cutting stirred in… there probably about 1  ½ ounces.

People are going to say something like why would you spend so much money to treat a slave like that… well honestly slaves need food.. And there only two options… also meats important… not enough fatty foods and you could lose a slave over the winter...now slaves are cheap admittedly but you're going to have to buy enough food for them to live and there property.

I have heard of summoned heros… some who have even grown a conscious and tried to change the world…Ie break the slavery system, well slavery still here. Looks like the heros are the type to just complain about the world and not actually fix it. …. Well a hero can only be in one place after all...so if they go conquer a dragon… there path back to the kingdom will be filled again with strong beasts...there are no levels in this world...so every attack that lands does damage.

You would be surprised at the stories of heroes summoned who demand lots of cloths… then try to connect to the commoners… in general however male or female heros get a harem pretty quick there are a few odd ducks out there… a few times a female hero tried to have a all male harem or even bl love...

This world really does not work to those sorts… and often you will hear of a second summoning performed… by the time it gets to my ears it is old rumors. From distant kingdoms… heroes really have limited utility.. Also hero children get commoner base mana… so you can't breed stronger from a hero there strength is a gift from the god not to be shared.

there is another problem with summoning heroes...a god of humor or irony i am not sure which… filters who can be summoned… well you get a lot of neets who can't deal with real life. In easy earth…  the heroes often have this horrible chunni problem many often say weird things in public… thankfully most heroes are assumed to have a mental health problem… and anytime a hero starts to talk about justice… most legal problems start to sympathize with the hero's victim…

If you can get  a hero to fight … they're often used like disposable grenades...some reason the majority of god's agree that heroes should be used like this...so no temple will look down on a kingdom for their harsh measures….

I often think that gods just don't like creepy neets. Or those that refuse to grow out of there chunni habits…  there are two problems let's throw the nasty problem at the problem with lots of teeth even if the nasty problem dies hopefully the problem with teeth gets a upset stomach

This might also be part of the reason japan population was declining when i died…

Well back to feeding slaves… the biggest expense is always food… there is education… magic education… basic combat education… literacy education…. Basic math….home economics education… even care of slaves is a basic education…. We here don't have, take your pet to school for show and tell...we have take your best slave and share how you use it…

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Unlike earth… schools pretty hit and miss….you get about an 8th graders education as a commoner with reading and writing...5th graders math education. Which fractions are a part of… local history...also a propaganda course on why nobles are better than commoners… and why the king is so great to us…

during home economics same name as earth… the tutor imparts  when you can duel; how to fight as a unit; how to make sure there enough food for winter.. Storage techniques...how to skin a beast …. Why it is common knowledge to feed slaves to the best of your abilities… why beating a slave or even hitting a slave is a sign of personal loss of control…

home economics is the high paid tutors… clans pay for them to come to their tower and host them. I say clan and not family because allied families with intermarried relationships pay big bucks to bring them to your home.

Tutors have to teach the same thing over and over to each clan that calls on them...the more knowledge they have … the more likely that clan future children midterm will be more successful.

Home economic tutors are often one of the last tutors that will touch a commoners clans children's lives...they are also well know for only divulging clan information to the king's court. No noble can ask details from a home economic tutor…

They are also one of the few tutors that don't belong to any clan. They often glean secrets about a family or clans lives through the children… Home economic tutors will stay inside of a clan's tower...they are always booked ahead of schedule...to be a tutor also requires lots of testing….they carry a collar of office that is enchanted. This is one of the few teachers that carries a leather bound book with chains… the book is actually a external memory bank… the older the book the more knowledge they will have on hand...at least that the rumor. only you can't open the book unless a tutor has died…...last of all a tutor can have no slaves with them inside of a clan home so leaving a clan is dangerous for them…

compared to other tutors that often meet in a hall of a civics center. Normal tutors teach groups of children that show up. As they come in… at first you would think this was very haphazard...however it works out well...families and clan children will meet often before entering the civic center… they stay there and work through the problems that are given to them until they show that they have a thorough understanding of whatever lesson the teacher would be teaching …. Clan children coming together meet at the front office introduce themselves to the administration… administration sends them to a room with a ceramic tablet that was there next scheduled lesson. The teacher takes that tablet matches it with a lesson plan then teaches that lesson.

Often the floor level of the civic center specializes the topic.

When the compulsory education has been certified. City hall will then be updated that basic education has been reached… there children are upgraded to citizens… this is also where grandmothers will loiter around watching for names of a family daughter to be placed on a board… then discussions of marriage to a man that is part of the family start...think stock exchange…. Only its daughters of families. With a evil twist. Certain families don't want to ever exchange their daughters with other families… and a family that is in the same clan might have too many connections…

One last thing. When the compulsory education is finished… a history of the educators is added to the name tag that comes with the child's name.. A old home economics tutor with a good name from past students increases the value of the current student.

Now that you understand our education system. The reason slaves are treated to decent food. Even when the cost is so high… you will understand the next part…. After eating dinner we dropped by the family home gathered my younger sister and a few cousins only took a few battle slaves then aunts and grandmothers sent grandfather to bed… and started night work...we the young children followed them to city hall…

As we approached… you would start to see pillars sticking out of the walls here and there below the skyway and above the sky way… each of these pillars have a selection of enchantments… the only three enchantments that were lit up are… Clean air...Muffle...mood dampener….

Reaching the city hall...we came across many skyways that merged here. Think dallas texas highway system and you have a pretty good ideal. As we approached i noticed that the portal …. That means round door in this case with skyways shooting into the portal.  Was similar to a double airlock system on a sub…. And that each inch of the door was written in enchanting. Spells… there was no light provided for this short tunnel… thankfully it was very bright… partly due to the fact that so many enchantments were glowing on the walls of these metal portals.

Before we entered the battle slaves were waved off to a waiting room. That was off to the side… before leaving they gathered daggers shields a nice sash each, something that looked like combat gogo boots only had a bit of a strippers sandals look to them… spiked heels. Grandmothers and aunts started to put fancy hair ornaments in there hair double checking… holyshit aunt emma hairpeice has poison on it… then they added earpieces that had crystals. Rings. Something that clamped on the nipples and little decorative fingertips….ah… grandmothers and aunts really are going for the goth look… so much black. And last they started stuffing mana potions into their vaginas and butts…..does that make this a enema…

Grandmothers might grinch but that's the most they do.. My aunts are helping stuff them in...i overheard one say to the other make sure they're not visible from the outside… Emmas having issues shoving them in the ass. Ahhh i should mention we did this mostly in a side room also not in the middle of the skyway. Grandmas are chuckling at my erection but what's hot is hot…

Finally we are ready to go in emma kept leaking potions from her ass. Untill grandma basically told her if she does not loosen up she was going to have one of the children follow her around licking the potions mix so people think she's a pervert rather than know she has mana potions mixed in… I volunteered to be the licker……. It ticked me off that this made her laugh instead of making her nervous...and she loosened up.

Going into the second portal everyone unconsciously checked their equipment. Looking inside there was a pillar where city hall servants kept slowly posting new citizens… and tight groups of people gathered...you could even see noble families mixed in here and there. All watching like hyenas … i watched open betting being called out…. With a elderly lady calling out bids. As we walked around looking for connections. And seating we also watched sections of the pillar with other older women facing groups...pillar always at their back...here i saw two families break out into battle with 3 dead women splayed on the floor… i guess there negotiations failed...or was war also a part of negotiations… in that section of the pillar the elderly lady looked like she was sleeping while that battle went on… finally grandmothers guided us to a smaller group of women some of whom i knew of but not well…. Watching women kill each other in the section just before this one. Killed my sexual appetite… however i saw a few commoner elves here with the group… needless to say i stared.

Grandmothers and aunts quickly hugged kissed patted each other down and basically greeted each other very friendly… however soon another family followed by a clan.  Followed us in… then a second clan after them.. Finally about 8 clans gathered. We stayed where we were and a few more women joined us some families circulated other families stayed still.

We had a few cousins of marriageable age… however one of the elven families twin daughters were coming up for bid.

Grandmother apologized that she could not bid to the friends. But grandfather did have 5 wives… and the uncles that i had were not ready to start their own tower or really start there own family neither of them could get a good local job with great wages.. They still had to run grandfathers trade routes…

Hush hush replied the cute elven lady… we both knew you couldn't. We just have to hope we get a great deal… currently there are few who can marry my daughter. None within the clan. Maybe we can gain something from this… hopefully this does not become a total loss...a few more clans came in a total of around 14 clans… each with around 3-5 grandmothers… then the next generation having 4-18 aunts followed by gaggles of children… there are a total of 34 young men in this room.  So few.

Harsh realities of young men… maybe. However i have several male cousins out with my uncles right now out on the trade routes. Plus i don't see any men old enough to be a husband of any of the women right now. there are men who live with there first and second wife at their father's home.

The bidding starts after the elderly lady stands up…. Hmmm pretty lady even if she is a old bird...just starting to get wrinkles. Just a few crows feet around the eyes. Two or three creases around the mouth that is about it for being able to tell she is old. Great knockers… and she shaves bald… maybe she waxes.. She has no belt of office or anything at all… well she does work for the city… maybe there pay sucks.

You can see the ebb and flow… however at the end of it i can see the tightening of the elven ladies eyes i don't think she is happy with the current flow… and right at the end a clan in the back bids...her eyes loosens.. That last clan won the bid… but i have no idea who they are.

A few of her sister wives the grannies go and talk to the clan that won… she stays back even though it is her daughter that just got bartered away… my grandmother's congratulate her.

She thanks them and sighs with relief...I really worried who my kids would go to. But with that family at least i know they will be alright … and they almost never get into fights…

To my happy discovery emma had tightened up for heated battle so grandmother and the other aunts plus elven lady surrounded her while i got to lick her clean… there was some good natured jeering… thank god i am in this world… can you imagine if there was cloth wipes i would never get to eat up my aunt like this. By the way mana potions taste fruity… so when my grandmother asked me if i was done yet i said no it still tasty here… after asking a few times she caught on i didn't mean the mana potions and got smacked hard for my continue licking of emma. A few times she was cursing emma for not relaxing. Until after emma came the second time and i still said i could taste good stuff.

While grandmother can smack good. I left happy… passing by the hall next to us… only a few survivors of the battle where in there many of them heavily injured…. I wonder how many will live long enough to get treatment… most commoners only have a little mana… however you also can not offer to heal them… first you personally only have so much mana… second if you dump your mana into one person… will that is one person from one clan. There two clans unless. Not to mention if you personally save them from a death wound that a life debt.. Those are debts… you really don't want to be burdened with… as the receiver and the giver.

In America even if you had healing knowledge… if you were not locally certified and you helped someone in trouble complications could make your life after treatment bad… thankfully there are good samaritan laws in america but they only cover so much.

Here in this world… it was not lawsuit but clan organizations… politics really and the fact that healing magic had such a high value...for what little you could give. Dedicated healers are a neutral force. They pretty much take care of all battles like this… i could probably sell some stored healing mana at the halls… with my  slaves...however with only those few people alive they as in the dedicated healers may be fine.. Think of dropping healing mana like a blood drive… it practically equates to each other anyways…

Getting home without having to see my aunts and grandma fight. Is strangely exhausting… yet i am truly happy.   You might say life is too hard here… i find it very honest and straightforward in america you never knew when something could go wrong because no one prepared for things going wrong… crazys mixed in with normal people… i always found it strange that when it was basically peaceful with random crime happening that more people did not at least learn self defense. You had more time then…

The few victims of violence never even prepared for it because it took up to much time on there end from binge watching tv shows..then it happened to them and they did not change there ways… here violence can happen at anytime...so everyone prepares for it. Even people who hate others still generally have more respect than back on earth for life.
