It took a few minutes to get a slave and go to go back to the mansion, being part of one of the six ducal families is so nice {Get in position, its time for you to shine big guy.}

I turned to the slave girl "You're going to meet the being just below me in authority, be respectful, I don't know what he'll do otherwise. And since you're a slave, your life is worth less than his satisfaction." The girl, who I should give a name, was scared like I wished her to be.

I opened the door in my room slowly and dramaticly, I don't know why, but infront of others I always do things dramaticly. Might be the coolness from that dream, or not. The girl saw a giant black reptile sleeping "Wake up buddy!" Erebus had grown with his levels going up, now he's at lvl 47. Meaning his length is around 4 meters instead of 3, all of his proportions had grown. I mean the inside parts like muscle and organs, you feel me? The scales just increased in quantity. The stats stayed the same though, just size is still good though.

"This, the drake you are seeing, is your superior. Be very respectful, he's in a different league compared to you. No, he's in a higher dimension compared to you." The great beast stood up majestically, as if a higher being. Contemp in its eyes clearly visible, it took a month getting this effect right {You're doing great! Keep it up!}

Erebus added an unbelieveably real looking prideful act on top of it, I've taught him well. A talented student and teacher make a true monster, not in name but in action.

-The girl-

For some reason my body wouldn't move, there was a giant beast infront of me 'I-I know that noble families have great beasts under them, but this is overwhelming.' I heard something strange "This, the drake you are seeing, is your superior. Be very respectful, he's in a different league compared to you. No, he's in a higher dimension compared to you."

'W-what?' I thought 'A beast my superior?' My breath became erratic the drake stood up, my instincts were screaming at me to run away. But my body didn't move an inch, the drake looked at me with contempt, as if saying 'Bow down.'. The drakes eyes gained pride after a few seconds, but none of that mattered in the end. My new owner said to the drake "Erebus, this is our new slave girl."

My owner reacted to a gesture from the beast "I'm doing a-ok." He quickly walked away into the hallway and ordered another slave to get me clean me of filth "I can't have some dirty girl be seen as my slave."

He pointed at me "Clean yourself, don't you dare dirty yourself before meeting me again."

I could finally move myself again after the drake called Erebus fell into a slumber again, I walked after the other slave that picked me up "How did you even get bought by him? He's the heir of the family, for him to buy you, you should be valuable. But you're covered in filth, I'm Herew by the way."

"I-I'm not sure Herew, I remember being bought for a bronze coin then him getting 50 copper back." He looked at me in disbelief "Your previous owner got scammed, that's why he bought you." He understood reality, that's what it looked like to me.

We came to a room, when I opened the door I felt a force pushing me. I fell onto the grond with a crash, when I looked back Herew said "Clean yourself with the bath there, it cleans you automatically, just sit in it without clothes." The door then slammed shut, I heared a click.

I stood up and walked towards the door, I tried too open the door but all I heard was Herew "It's locked and won't open unless someone that's not a slave without permission opens it or you clean yourself." I looked behind me, when I saw the pool my body started to move on its own "What happening!? Herew! My body's moving on its own!" But he said nothing.

When I fought my own body I felt pain while doing nothing but stand there 'It isn't so bad to clean myself, I don't even need to do anything.' It was my mind coping so as to stop the pain, it wasn't totally wrong though.

My body disrobed from my uncomfortable clothes and sat in the bath, I felt that I was being watched, but that was to be expected. When I tried to shift into a more comfortable position I saw it, my royal azure blue hair.

My eyes restricted and I fell down 'Mom always told me to hide my hair! Why is it clean? I made sure it didn't touch the water?' I still remembered my parents telling me my blue hair was ugly, and that I should be ashamed of it 'I don't want my new owner to hate me! What would he do to me?'

I looked all around the room, nothing was there to hide my hair color. I started to hyper-ventilate 'If there's nothing then, then!'

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Someone opened the door and threw some clothes inside 'That's it!' I had seen hope, I wish.

After some time, standing before me was my new owner and his drake. They were weirded out by my outfit, I had abandoned my shirt to hide my hair "Wear your shirt in the right way." I shook my head and tried to resist 'No!'

But then I heard something that made me stop my resistance, the stomps of a giant beast. When I opened my eyes I saw the face of the drake, it was angered.

When my owner saw my hair he said "As I thought, blue hair, though it is a darker hue. Intresting, I wonder how a homo-sapien can get this hair color. No wait, it's a homeo-sapien. Maybe it's a rare hereditary genome? A color change caused by a disease that can be transfered from mother or father to child by birth?" I couldn't understand it at all, it was in the Icarusion language but with new words not in what I learned.

'I'm a homeo-sapien? what's that?' I thought to myself, I looked at my status.

Race: Human

That's weird, while in my own thoughts my owner walked away and started to read a book 'Isn't he going to insult my hair?'

-Back to the original-

Ok so my instincts and the appraisal was correct, she's smarter or more street smart than normal, and has a weak body. And my god, doesn't see look a little too good for a five year old? It was below plastic surgery levels, but it was still really good for this world even if don't you wear make-up.

The darker blue was a bit of a shock, thought the dark hue came from. It looked like the color #0038a8, colored box for reference.

its high noon

So royal azure colored hair, weird if I say so myself. There weren't any products that could dye your hair in this world... Yet. Remember that if there's a lot of light, color gains a lighter hue.

I remembered that she had only rags, so I also told someone to take some of the clothes in the storage corner too her. In truth, I don't have a fashion sense. Either she chooses her own clothes with her own fashion sense, without wigs, no wigs. If she doesn't do well, well, minimalist clothes like me.

She hid her hair with her shirt, I could litterally see her children braw. Having my slave wear stuff like that was fucking wrong, for my face, chinese face! If you don't know, face is used in xianxia or whatever to say something like ' my reputation or honor has been ruined!' or 'Give me some (Reputation synonym), or don't blame me for being mean!'

I should say that once or twice, like 'You are courting death!', that sounds cool. Though the face slap red flag is dangerous, its funny to say. I will become the face slapper if anything, I'm the protaganist! I think?

Right now I took a book off of my bookshelf, I made it myself like always. It was titled "The metaphysical meanings of hair color.", it's pretty much a fancy way of saying "Superstisious thoughts about what hair color could mean." It was church approved, this is a nice trick actually. Make your followers part of the problem for spreading the problem, then they won't want to believe that you're wrong.

"Royal azure, royal azure. There, wait what?" This was said in english, and instead of saying royal azure it was saying 'dark sky hair'. I was intrigued, I read through this section.

"Dark sky hair is a symptom of a deepsea body, showing an affinity of water and darkness. The deepsea body is a body blessed by the remnant of the fallen god of water, and corrupted by the evil god of darkness." I raised my eye at this, fallen god of water? "Ones who posses this type of body has the respective personality of a person blessed by water, but they will be more susceptible to corruption of darkness and evil." I said all of this outloud, the girl hearing it all. Well... I changed the corruption part to the ideas, and got rid of the evil talk about darkness, and the syntom part was changed to sign.

I'm part of the darkness faction, can't be having my slave have a reason to hate me. Not after a big proformance to make her know her place in the world, and not being a complete asshole. The latter very difficult, not really for me, but for others it is.

Anyways, if you treat someone well, make them understand its not their privilage that you help them. Otherwise they'll keep telling you 'Do this, do that.' And will never say thank you, or ever help you when you're in trouble. It's a common mistake in many relationships and the like, even I was subjected to this evil curse from a girlfriend I had in college. You might even get thrown into the 'friend zone' *Imagine a mysterious and scary melody here*

I got thrown into that disgusting place once, but I was put off lightly. My confession was turned into a joke so the real friendship could continue, instead of an akward friendship that would quickly sink ship and die in a fire. But with long term 'not being a weirdo and a salty shit arts', I was able to make the complete lockdown on the 'more than friends' zone open. That doesn't mean that I got in at that moment, but that the locks were opened, meaning that the girl wasn't constantly trying to stop those thoughts. But due to my stubborn nature in showing myself I could do anything 'If I can't even break out of the friendzone, how could I strike it big?'

No clue how I did it though, back then I wasn't that good at talking. I was a pretty non-talker, bad parents do that to you. It also shows that with enough determination, almost anything is possible, if you can endure the pain. The friend zone incident did do some long term damage to me, so after a few months I dumped her to work on a new passion; making money. What I'm saying is I got a job and didn't have time for our relationship, I wanted more time to study in college so I started to pile up money for that. She did try to get back together and also tried to make me jealous, this all happened in highschool btw.

Moral of the story; Don't be a simp without a back bone, preferably not a simp at all.

End of story.

I was reminicing for a while and the girl not yet named was confused, and had again covered up her hair. I told her to knock it off "Don't hide the hair, you have any idea how prestigious that hair is? My social status will go up and up, though there will still be prejudice, who cares. I got you for almost nothing, such great value." Getting back to business, I said "Don't fucking try to hide your hair because your scared of it being ugly."

I sighed, this was a bad habit. Being ashamed of your hair, who the fuck cares how your hair looks like unless you need it to look good for some reason? I sighed again, she was still a child. But that didn't make it that I forgave her stupidity and would spoil her with my affection. I already went over that though, and I'm not a stupid simp isekai protaganist opening up myself to manipulation.

"Open sky hair is a sign of the bluesea body, the bluesea body is created by a blessing from the remnant of the fallen god of water. Bearers of this body are sensitive and are good at understanding other's emotions, they are very sociallable and approval from others are highly needed. But ironically bearers of this body are shy and are more inclined to be submissive. holders of this body type fill any openings on their own, not resisting being pushed around, but hard to contain or control by force. Also well known for being beautiful, more often than not" This was so weird and vague
