It was a normal day (Evil laughter) for MacGee Dumbhuman, who was currently strolling through the forest all alone and defenseless, with only his tini tiny little bow to use against the vile and evil beasts that lurk in the man-eating forest~...
Poor him, if only he knew of the creature stalking him. This creature, the rappresentation of all that is evil (I see no evil, I hear no evil, I speak no evil) was naturally... me! Nyahaha, I'm so fucking original. Praise me more please~
Summed up in a paragraph: I got bored, decided to go to a random magical world for the shits and giggles and ended up in this fucking forest. And now I'm lost. Completely. Utterly. Decisevely. Whatever you wanna call it, I just know I have no idea how to get out of here. Well, actually I do, just enter the lunar world and teleport around, but that'd be cheating~!
So, I found MacGee and decided to stalk him. He mumbled something about returning home before, so hopefully the idiot actually does go home now.
Said stalk continued for a couple more hours through the forest until we somehow finally got out of this damned place. Well, although I say that, it's not like we magically arrived at a city. Nain, that'd be way too convenient...
instead, we first reached some plains, then a road, then after yet another couple hours we finally arrived at the all-mighty city.
From my standpoint, I could see some nice, 20meter tall walls. Considering it's not too shabby, so my mind already classified this world in the [Fun to Ruin] category.
I forgot to mention, I may or may not have 'accidentally' controlled MacGee's brain to not recognize me as an entity, so he never even realized I was following him all of this time. Poor guy, you have my condolensces. Not.
I shapeshifted into a human... male... yeah, it's though, but I have a plan! Sort of. Actually, I don't, but I do have an idea.
After the tipical this and that of entering a city without identification, I ran around town whilst making a mental map of the place. I could do so in the Lunar World as well, but that isn't quite as efficient as me being there in person.
I thus spent my time running around and buying meat skewers from random vendors till it was night. A shame, I really hoped that some thug would attack me or something, as my stomach is puppy-eyeing me for some good ol' human heart.
Sighing to myself, I enter an inn that wasn't... too shabby... eh... acceptable? Sort of? Not really though, it looked like shit in my eyes, but it was still one of the best out there for adventurers, and since I kinda wanna tease and have fun with the muscleheads it should suffice.
Ignoring the strange looks I was receiving from said muscleheads, I approached the counter. Obviously, behind it was a very sexually attractive girl around 18 years of age, obviously meant to... you know, 'attract clients'. Hopefully she wasn't the kind to bed the first japanese retard that would surely pass by, considering my... luck? Misfortune?... something for heroes. They just really like to pop up wherever I go. I don't mind though. I don't discriminate between sushi and steak. Oh, the japs are the sushi and everyone else is the steak by the way.
The girl looked at me curiously for a bit and I smiled at her and said "Hello dear~, mind allowing me to take a room from this lovely inn~?" I say in full flattery-mode, and she actually had the guts to fucking blush! I didn't even desing my male form to be handsome. Actually, it's very feminine in nature, and more on the 'pretty' side then 'handsome'.
"Y-yes sir! It'll cost only 80 copper a night, t-that's if you don't mind..." She says, looking at the ground. Oh, nice try there. That's supposed to be the 'weak kitty / defenseless maiden in distress' that always captures the jap's hearts or the china™ super-cultivator guys. Too bad I'm not a lesbian. Well, I wouldn't mind eating her up though.
I created some silver coins in the pockets of my pants and took them out and then lent forward, my head on my hands and elbows on the table before saying loudly "Say, where is the jewerly shop? The most expensive one? I'm kinda overflowing with shiny stuff here and it's just soooo hard to get rid of it~" I said whilst casually taking out a bag full of gold coins.
The girl's eyes went wide and her mouth was slightly open, before saying "U-uh, there's one three corners to the left, then just go straight. Y-you'll find it eventually." She stuttered, no greed in her eyes. Huh. A shame, I kinda wanted to find a moral reason to torture her a bit, like greed. Not that I need one, but it's a good excuse to tell the justice-seekers to fuck off.
I smirked and took the keys from her before going towards my room. Then going back after a little bit and saying "Uh, just where is the room...?"
After the small incident, I was now draped over my bed in a lazy style, enjoying the feeling of laying on my back. It's been a while since I could, considering my tails and wings always got in the way. I already miss them though, as it's so hard to balance myself without them.
Eventually, I slipped off into the land of dreams. Unfortunately, no less-then-smart assassin/thief came to take the bait, but hey, at least I tried.
Moaning in annoyance, I forced myself to stand up and then dressed myself. Pants and a shirt should suffice.
As I walked down the stairs, I could hear whispers the moment I appeared. I grinned but mostly ignored them. And by 'them', I mean the obvious stalkers. I mean, they could be more discreete about the fact they have their whole attention focused on me...
I left the inn and simply wondered around for some time. Eventually though, I came across a funny sight. A slave shop! Just what I needed to relieve my boredom! Maybe I could pull the 'Gay Prank' that I've been devising!?
I entered the rather luxurious place, which isn't suprising considering that slaves always are a very much needed necessity due to the absence of machines. Even magic has limits you know? Well, that's for humans. I'm not human, so I can do whatever I want, nyahaha... I need to see a psychiatrist...
There were a couple very nicely dressed people going around, presumably nobles. At the sides of the shop were several slaves, all lined up. They barely had anything to conceal themself with, much to my disappointment. Don't call me a pervert, but the size of a man's penis is important. The bigger, the more there is to eat. Barbecue is the best, by the way.
Some of them stop to take a discerning look at me, but I obviously ignore them. It's been a while since I've been with nobles, but judging from firsthand contact, the nobles in this world aren't exxagerately snobby/antisocial. Hopefully they changed, as it's boring to always kill the same kind of people.
I walk around, looking at the slaves whilst completely ignoring the insane price tags. I can see why people hesitate to buy these, but the prices are indeed appropriate. They all smell decently strong for a normal person and all of them are in good health. Seems like the stereotypical [Slavery Collar] is indeed in this world, which is quite interesting.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
After a while, I pick out a very muscular guy who seems rather snarky, if the expressions of hatred flashing across his face whenever someone looks at him tells me something.
"Hmmm~, you're quite the beefie, eh? I like you, come with me." I say, to which he scoffs with hatred and takes a glance towards a hallway. I frown in confusion, before understanding. In this hall are only men, and I can hear pervert remarks from over where he's looking, so that must be the women's section, and he must have someone he loves over there!
A horrible, twisted and... nice... plan hatches in my fucked up mind and I grin at the guy before saying "Hehe, seems like you're lonely~! How about it, be a nice little slave and I'll go and buy someone you choose from the ladies' section, how bout' it, Beefy?" I ask the newly nicknamed Beefy, to which he looks at me with a deadpan expression.
I wait for a while, but he doesn't do anything. I scoff and internally cringe at this guy with emotions equivalent to those of a rock's. I signal one of the attendants and tell him I'm buying the idiot here. He gives me the price which I already knew (80 gold coins in not a small amount kiddos) and I generously give him the shinies. He smiles and leaves me with the muscle Beefy.
He still had the same deadpan look, so I slap him a little, which seems to wake him up. He snorts and says "As if. You damned nobles, you'd just enjoy torturing her in front of me." I put a hand on my heart and make an expression filled with disbelief.
"W-wha! Who ever said that!? Oh, the voice in my head did. Hehe, don't mind her... She's quite the naggy one, always saying 'Pssst, bully the peasant because you have no life... It'll feed your needlessly high ego! Trust me!' Isn't she funny?"
He looks at me with a blank expression once again. I sigh and simply drag him towards the women's area.
Here, the women are all naked, regardless of size or age. I scoff at the shameless display, especially at the teenagers who get a bit too touchy and... well, 'Try out' the goodies. Mostly the upper ones, numbering two.
I turn only to find Beefy looking like he would pounce on someone right now if it wasn't for the collar. He's angry alright...
I poke the guy in the belly and he looks at me, I simply smile at him and say "So, Beefy, who will the 'chosen one' be? Nyahaha, maybe you actually have two loved ones!? Is it hard to choose?" He grits his teeth and looks in a direction. I simply follow his gaze.
I end up on a girl of perhaps 6 or 7 years of age, obviously naked. A couple old men do consider her, but move on pretty quickly. I roll my eyes at the pedophiles and walk towards the girl, who had her eyes closed. I could tell she was trying hard not to cry. How touching, too bad I too am an emotional rock. Sort of. Actually, scratch that. I'm an emotional mess, but pity is not one of my emotions.
I approach the girl and put my hand on her head. She grits her teeth a bit, but after a while she slowly opens her eyes. I look at her with a grin and point behind me at Beefy. She follows my hand and soon her expression is one of shock. I put my hand over her mouth before she could say something cringeworthy though, I don't need a touchy reunion right now. That's for later.
After buying her from another one of the assitants, I look at Beefy, who had a difficult expression on his face. What I presume is his daugter is currently trembling whilst hugging his leg. They both can't speak right now, as I have to first allow them to. It's a thing of the slave collar that prevents slaves from making trouble.
"Well, one more person? I'm going to assume your wife is next or something...?" He slowly nods and looks in yet another direction.
There, a woman in her 30's is standing. She has rather large breasts, which immediately lowers my opinion of her, long black hair like her daughter's. She was looking straight at us, so I just grinned at her and headed towards her.
After buying her, I brought my slaves out of the shop. As we walked the streets, I noticed that it might not be appropriate to have two women going around naked. Even slaves usually have clothing after all.
Thus, after a quick stop at a cheap clothing store, I direct them over to the inn. Ignoring the greedy, and strangely, even an angry look, I drag the three poorly-dressed slaves over to my room.
Once we're all inside, I order them to sit on the bed before making my small speech.
"Well~, look at you~, a small family separated by... uh... war! yes, war... no...? Uh... elaborate please... fuck that, I don't care for your circumstances. Now you're back together, so there's that. I'll leave the two adults to some bonding time whilst I play with the child here." I say with a smile. For some reason though, the girl is trembling whilst the two adults are trying to kill me with their gazes. I'd be happy if they succeded, but I doubt they can.
I shrug and go to another room with the child. Did I mention that the each room in the inn has three small rooms? Well, they're really small, but it's better then just one.
I close the door and look at the child as she silently goes next to the bed whilst trembling and crying. I tilt my head with a frown, wondering what's up with her.
Ah. Shoot. I made a misunderstanding. Well, that's quite funny. Don't really care to fix it, actually, let's play along with it for a little bit more.
I sit on the bed and motion for the girl to come closer. She slowly does, and when she was finally within reach of my grasp, I grab her chin and make her look at me in the eyes. She shrieks at the sudden action, but doesn't scream.
"It's okay to cry, you know? I know how you feel. Don't worry, it's over now." I say slowly and the girl had a look of shock on her face. I hug her and bring her on my lap, she at first tries to resist, but I stop her. I then slowly caress her head whilst whispering 'It's okay, those bad men won't do anything to you.'
Luckily, being only a kid, she believed me and soon broke down crying. I silently hug her as she cries, whistling a small, happy tune. Soon, she was hugging me as well whilst crying on my shoulder. I gently patted her back with one hand and caressed her head, going through her hair with my other hand. After a while, she begins to narrate what happend to her after a bit of prodding from me.
"D-dad was a warrior... b-but noble said he owed t-to him, so then the b-bad guys came and chained us a-and put these collars on us! T-they t-t-trained me to be 'obedient', at first, father was with me and he always said to never listen to those guys, but the lashes h-hurt..." She said whilst crying even more. A single tear fell from my eyes, and I silently pondered why. I'm a horrible person, I've killed thousands... no, millions for no reason, and yet here I am, crying over a single child.
Perhaps it has something to do with my fobia of slavery? No, I don't think so. Pehaps it's just that I never got to know those that I killed. Yeah, it makes sense. After all, I normally would have killed the Pervert from my first world, but because I got to know him so well I think I hesitated. What a hypocrite... I'm not just a 'bad' person anymore, I probably reached the point of no return.
It took an entire hour for the girl, Lilly as she told me, to finally fall asleep. I smiled and gave her a small kiss on the forehead before carrying her back to her parents.
They were huddled together and had obviously cried, my orders were to speak but not make too much noise, which they did. They looked at me with confusion when I arrived, and I smirked at them.
"Sorry for before. I didn't mean 'play' in a sexual meaning. Heh, sorry but I'm not a lesbian." They had their mouths hanging adter the statement, and the woman barely managed to stutter "Y-you're a girl?"
"Nyahahaha! Yes I am, a very cute one for that, so deal with it granny~! Here's the child anyways." I said and put Lilly on her lap before turning to both of them.
"Okay, here's my plan. I don't have more then three or four days to stay in this world before I have to return, so after that I'll set you free with some good ol' cash. But, you have to keep a secret in turn, as I can't put with this much longer." I said, and they both had confused faces.
I sighed and said "If what is about to transpire is ever found out, I will burn every town to the ground and torture you two with the worst pains humankind could ever experience. N-O T-A-L-K-I-N-G A-B-O-U-T T-H-I-S!"
They nodded fearfully, my aura probably scaring them quite a bit. I smiled happily and said "Good~".
Soon, my entire body began to shift slightly. I became slightly shorter, my features softened and my ears disappeared, replaced by cat ears. Four tails and wings sprouted from my back, and my eyes turned bloody red. They had their mouths open once more, and I simply made a V sign and stuck out my tongue whilst saying "See? I'm cuter then you~! Hopefully that dense bastard realizes that someday..." I sigh and look at them, only to find that they had fainted. Dummer, now I can't tease them anymore. A shame.
I smirk at the thought and easily put them all in the bed whilst I sit down and simply relax whilst hugging my tails. I kinda miss him already... I do admit I'm kinda jealous of the three. They have a good family and all...
I sigh and close my eyelids, sleep not even close to overtaking me. It's going to be fun, at least... hopefully...
