A Slave's Life

Ken your up, said a girl behind me. Before I was shoved onto the stage, by a brute.

"And next we have a fine, healthy young boy who is more than able to suit your needs!" announced a smartly dress man wearing a turban.

"We'll be starting the bidding at 100 gold, do we have 150 gold?" Announced the man once again.

This exchange continued until it reached 300 gold. I was surprised that I was bought for that much. After all I'm really plain looking, I reached 8 years of age this year but I was only 4 feet but I had light brown skin, black hair and piercing green eyes.

I was slowly unshackled and brought to a extravagant carriage. It seemed to me that I was brought to be some kind of house slave.

I had waited patiently for 5 months but all I figured out was that my mom, used to be a well known adventurer and was sold to a Noble in the Merchant desert. Which was really faraway, I hoped my mom survived. I would go save her but the Noble seemed to be rich and would probably hire bodyguards. Plus there were a lot of unknown factors in this world. I didn't want to be needlessly killed. So I planned to train my job - Phantom. There were only a few abilities I had at the moment.

< Night Vision >

< Mist Form >

< Hide >

< Phantom's copy >

The last one was mimic but after a while in the dark room. It changed to Phantom's copy. Which meant that I could gain one skill of anything or one I kill.

I thought it was a cool ability before I realised that there was a low chance of activating it. Specifically 10 percent chance. Plus the skill was randomly selected.

The carriage pulled to a stop. A tall, muscular pulled me down from the carriage. There was huge mansion present. I was quickly brought to the slave quarters. Where they made me take off my clothing and take a bath. Then I was given. Another pair of butler clothing. Literally servant clothing. Grumbling, I put it on.  

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

They then informed me of my job. It turned out that I was bought by a rich noble who was currently understaffed. I was told to serve food and "Entertain" the guests. I assumed they wanted me to pleasure them. Which I wouldn't do even if I was paid.

Then they trained me on my job. It was pretty simple serve the quest, don't spill anything or I would get punished. The pleasure part they left to my imagination. After I finished my training, they showed me the sleeping quarters. Which I had to share with three other people. Plopping onto on of the empty beds, I close my eyes. Exhaustion took over me and I drifted off.

The next day I was woken up early, they gave me directions to my workplace and a warning.

I made my way to the Kitchen, where I was met with a loud voice.

"You fools! Hurry and finish the dishes! The adventurer's will be here soon. " said one of the cooks.

I was quickly ushered in and began serving the food. The adventurer's were well mannered and our master and them. just engaged in idle chat. When one of the mage adventurers left to go to the bathroom. I also left my post and started walking out of the dining area with a quick pace. I quickly pulled one of the knives from the Kitchen from my outfit. Before the mage had time to react. I quickly cut his vocal chords and activated.

Wishing from the bottom of my heart. I was met with a message ringing in my head.

< Mana Manipulation Learned >

I smiled wide and started to slowly walk back to the dining area. It was gonna be a fun day.......I thought darkly.
