Awakening
Awakening
When I opened my eyes, I was bound in chains.
Damn it, it's cramped! This is a cage? Where am I? I was definitely in bed with coconut...
From beside me came the sound of women weeping.
"Unchain me! Though I may be a fallen noble lady, do you think you can treat a noble so disgracefully?"
"I'll listen well, please! Please! I don't want to be sold as a slave!"
It seemed this place was a slave auction.
Why is this such a brutally terrible isekai start!
"Hey, you, the boy over there, come out."
A scary man pointed his finger at me and opened the iron door.
What is this? Am I being sold as a slave? No way.
"Quite handsome. The nobles will love him."
What does that mean... this is entirely a bad scene!
"Um... am I being sold as a sex slave?"
"Don't worry, officially sex slaves have been abolished for a long time. Of course, I don't know what the depraved nobles might do inside their castles."
Hearing those words, which I couldn't tell were a threat or comfort, cold sweat trickled all over my body.
In the silent stillness, the curtain rose on the slave auction.
A naked woman and I went up onto the platform together. The naked woman had pink hair and a slender figure. Wow, breasts.
Mounded perky breasts with beige nipples....
Even in this situation, I got turned on, damn it! The cloth hanging over my lower half slowly rose.
"Now then, the first item is a female slave. As a lowborn bastard, she has no proper talents, but look. Such supple skin! This doll-like face! If she passes through the hands of a master craftsman, she could be reborn as a quite decent onahole."
Huh? Onahole? No, how is that any different from a sex slave! I certainly received a lot of help from them in my past life, but no way... No way, am I? Am I going to become an onahole too? Is that it?
I'm going crazy. What kind of world is this!
Isn't the standard for an isekai to build a harem!!!
"And this item that came out together, well. As you can see, it's a male, so it'd be tough to use as an onahole. Still, he's handsome, so feel free to use him as you wish. Now, the female slave and male slave! Let the auction begin!"
Still, since I won't be used as an onahole, the tension suddenly eased.
Oh God! Thank you. Thank you for letting me reincarnate as a man. Perks? Abilities? That's fine. I'll do anything, just not an onahole.
In the dark audience, people began to murmur, and a few nobles raised their hands and called out prices. My chest tightened. Please, please let it be anyone but a weird perverted noble....
A middle-aged woman bid 3,200 gold. Ah, her impression still seems good.
"3,200 gold has been bid. Any more? Any more?"
In the silence, a masked noble lady sitting in the corner quietly murmured.
"4,000 gold."
Seeing the stir in the hall, 4,000 gold must be quite a sum. How much is 4,000 gold? Can I become a free man if I save up 4,000 gold?
"Someone who knows the true value has appeared! Now, 4,000 gold, 4,000 gold."
"5,000."
A rough noble sitting sprawled in the middle was stroking his beard and glaring at me. What! That man, he's looking at me.
No! Young lady? Young lady? I wish to pledge myself to the young lady.
While I was trembling and fidgeting my fingers,
The young lady's voice rang out once more.
"7,500 gold."
But the male noble did not give up and clung on.
"7,750 gold!"
In the stillness, a little murmur could be heard. Just like this... am I being sold to that noble...?
"10,000 gold."
"10,000 gold, any more? Sold! It's sold!"
Amid the murmuring, the black-clad young lady was smiling.
The girl and I washed our bodies, changed clothes, and then boarded the young lady's carriage.
Inside, the carriage was quite a bit more spacious than it looked. After waiting about ten minutes, she sat down across from us, and the carriage rattled as it departed.
"Hello? Nice to meet you. I am Serena Rosenbloom. Please call me Serena."
The woman who introduced herself as Serena wore a cloak and mask over a dark dress.
When she took off her cloak, the tightly cinched corset line caught my eye. And resting above it, her abundant milk-white breasts stood out. Long black hair and pale skin, a slender jawline—she was as beautiful as a doll. The radiant ruby-red eyes revealed when she removed her mask were so captivating that I couldn't help but stare. Seen up close, she appeared even more beautiful.
Just a glance made my body slowly heat up. It almost made me think this woman had cast a charm spell on me.
At that moment, the pink-haired girl beside me politely spoke up.
"It is an honor to meet you, Lady Serena. I will ensure you never regret choosing me."
"The honor is mine. Choosing you was the right decision. So you can handle mana?"
"Yes. Allow me to introduce myself properly. Though I am a lowly bastard, I shall serve you with utmost devotion."
Listening to her, she was the illegitimate child of a fallen knight family. Her mother was also an omega. Pushed out of a power struggle, the fallen family had to sell her as a slave. She had been a combat slave in another country before fleeing to this country, but soon her slave brand was discovered, and she was sold off again.
"You were fortunate. Those stupid nobles. They have no eye for value. You alone are easily worth 15,000 gold."
The female slave unexpectedly had the basics of handling mana and was of the knight lineage, wielding traditional swordsmanship. She was also an experienced dungeon delver. However...
Why were only the two of them talking since earlier? This makes it look like I'm just a side character.
"Excuse me!"
I interjected without thinking. But I had to show something. If I'm not acknowledged, I'll obviously be sold back at that auction house and become a plaything for perverted nobles!
"Thank you for recognizing my talent, my lady. I will also give my best."
"... ."
What's with this silence... it's awkward.
She suddenly pointed one finger into the air.
"Can you see this floating next to me?"
Looking closely, something like a white shimmer was wavering.
"A white... bit of fluff?"
"You have a little talent, then. What skills do you have?"
"Um... I..."
Should I say it seems like I've possessed someone from another world? I stopped myself. Because I knew that saying such things was taboo.
"I've lost my memory... ."
"Hmm, that's troublesome. Do you remember your name?"
Of course, I couldn't say my Korean name, so I had to come up with a name fitting for this place. Something like a strong protagonist's name, is there one?
"Vincent."
"Is that so? ...I see. Stollen, take a look at him."
Beside her head, a silver cluster of light rippled and then revealed something. What was called Stollen was a cute, small, silver-haired female fairy.
About the size of a handheld fire extinguisher, she was so exquisitely like a doll that I found myself staring in a daze.
"Umm.. Serena... hello."
The slightly sleepy-looking fairy rubbed her eyes, then woke up and flew over around me. Seeing me flinch, she looked at me with an interested expression.
"He still doesn't know his own ability, huh? Serena. Can I handle him roughly?"
Instead of answering, Serena slightly shook her head. Then her ample breasts swayed gently like pudding.
Just as my face reddened and I was about to swallow, the fairy placed a finger on my forehead and chanted something.
"...Force Awakening."
A huge cluster of mana light flashed and surged forcefully into my forehead. Mana filled the blood flow of my entire body, forcibly circulating something, and soon the ability inscribed deep within my soul was revealed. I lost consciousness from the tearing, excruciating pain that came after being forcefully ripped open.
When I woke up, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. It seemed we had arrived within the territory while I was unconscious.
In my field of vision, I saw something like a tiny pink dot, and when I focused my mind, a transparent status window unfolded.

"Is this... my special perk? What is this... ."
Onahole Maker... does this world have such a profession?
Reading the related entries, I was clearly given the ability of a creator.
"Onahole Maker Talent?... ."
That's when it happened.
"Vincent, you awake?"
Turning my head, I saw the silver fairy.
"My name is Stollen. I'm a low-level spirit with awakening and appraisal abilities."
"Ah, hello. Um... Lady Serena?"
"Serena grabbed her equipment and went to the dungeon with Luna. It seems she wants to confirm their abilities quickly. She left you here since you seem to be of the crafting type."
It seems she couldn't appraise my precise ability. Well, in this kind of genre, revealing one's ability brings danger. So, I guess that's fortunate.
"Now then, a message from Serena. Over the next week, you are to demonstrate [your own ability]. If she judges it to be valuable, she will treat you as a comrade, not a slave. If not... think about what comes after yourself. She said to ask Stollen for anything you need, so that's why I stayed here."
As I listened to Stollen, I felt the strength slowly draining from my body.
"Seems you don't have much mana? Materializing requires your mana."
With those words, the silver fairy named Stollen turned into a cluster of light and entered my head.
"Well then, I'll be sleeping. Call me if you need anything."
I got up and looked around. Because, whatever the case, I wanted to check my ability quickly. Inside the hut, the rough necessities for crafting were equipped. On the shelves, monster horns and low-grade magic stones were lying around.
While mulling over the words on the status window, I suddenly became curious what a recipe was.
"Recipe!"
Then the status window flipped and a recipe screen appeared. Most of the entries were locked, and only two crafting methods were shown at the top.
