The Slave's Confession and the Coins of Trust
Sally licked my cock obediently, her tongue warm and eager. I couldn't hold back the pleasure, and in the end, I abandoned the assassination.
“Now… please send me away…”
She said she couldn’t leave without Christina’s watch. Not wanting to cause her concern, Sally grumbled. I firmly sealed her lips. Just in case she might not listen, I even used hypnosis to ask her.
“Are you going to tell Christina?”
“I… want to tell her…”
“But?”
“I won’t…”
Her eyes, already losing focus, murmured those words. It meant she wanted to taste my cock again.
“Good. If you keep your mouth shut, I’ll fuck you whenever I want. Got it?”
“Yes… I understand…”
“Ah, and.”
While the hypnosis was active, I added one more setting.
“You truly love your husband.”
“Yes… I understand…”
I amplified her love for her husband even more. Because the married woman trait was too embarrassing, I couldn’t leave her alone. Should I look for another married woman?
There was a husband alive and a child. Suddenly feeling irritated, I fucked Sally several more times.
“H-Husband…! I’m sorry…!”
Sally, already apologizing to her deceased husband, received my cum deep inside her womb. Although the Estrus skill had been absorbed by the Shinsung, I still felt the sensation. This load impregnates her.
With Sally taken care of, I returned to 512. 112.
The gray cave lay completely abandoned and defenseless. I placed some glowing stone inside and lit a campfire. There was no reason to worry about wild animals inside the room, so the fire was for atmosphere only.
On the 4th Floor, you couldn’t tell day from night. Precisely, each Room had its own day and night cycle. If you hung a sun on the ceiling of a sealed room, time would automatically begin to flow. Even though my room was daytime now, I couldn’t be sure the adjacent room was the same. Most rooms belonging to the same faction still ran on roughly the same time period. That was normal.
I should hang a sun here.
I sprayed Heavenly Spray on the ceiling to create an open sky and purchased a sun to hang on the wall. The sunset time period was now complete.
After creating the time, I opened the west door.
Creeeeak-
“Come out!”
This room was 511. 112, a neutral room full of dirt. There was no owner. Damn, this is complicated.
The 4th Floor was simple but chaotic. There was important information and useless information. First, every certain period, rooms would become neutral. For players with two or more rooms, the System would randomly steal one. Neutral rooms would then be given to newly arriving players.
In the novel, it was when the 3rd Floor players defeated the royal slime that neutralization began. They were simply leaving the spot vacant. Of course, to make newcomers feel better, it was neutralized several times more than necessary. Just like, anytime and anywhere rooms could be neutralized.
Neutral rooms had no owner, so they were easy to obtain. That was why players on the 4th Floor were scouring for them with eyes wide open. Of course, there was no guarantee the room beyond the door was neutral. Finding a neutral room was easy but difficult at the same time.
[Current location: Room 511. 112.]
[Owner of Room 513. 112 ─ ]
Neutral room, so no owner.
I quickly expressed my desire to claim the room. Just by thinking about it, the System automatically handed me the room.
[Owner of Room 513. 112 ─ Player Kim Jinwu]
Now I had three rooms. Compared to other privileged players, it was still just a drop in the bucket.
Second, if you had no own room, you would die the next day. To postpone death, you had to become a slave to someone else. You had to live parasitically in someone else’s room.
Meaning, if you don’t want to die, become a slave…
As if encouraging such a structure, the shop sold Restraint Shackles. There were five types, each reducing stats by 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, or 90%. Unlocking them was free, but the moment you removed the shackles, you would be kicked out of the room. The instant you were kicked out, death was inevitable.
Most slaves lived by submitting themselves just to survive.
These two things are the most important.
The fact that your room could become neutral and the fact that if you were robbed of a room, you would either become a slave or choose death. The rest were just filler information. How much stats would be boosted or reduced, how much could be compensated — none of that mattered. If they just snatched it away, enlightenment would come eventually anyway.
The important things were boss monsters and awakenings.
Boss monsters would be summoned in one of the neutral rooms. One of the neutral rooms would be randomly set as a boss room. Awakening could be decided after filling many rooms, so there was no need to worry now. Fifty rooms at least.
Let’s go back.
I returned to 512. 112. Since I planned to expand around here, I opened the south door first.
Creeeeak-
I quietly peeked my head out. Most players wouldn’t casually open the side door even if it existed. Opening the door meant expanding the territory, and if it wasn’t a neutral room, you couldn’t expect anything good from the other person. It was an unspoken rule.
I broke that rule.
512. 113 felt like a dark cave. Aside from the hanging lanterns on the ceiling and the table, it was completely empty.
[Current location: Room 513. 113.]
[Owner of Room 513. 112 ─ Player Hoseon]
Hoseon?
I didn’t know who that was. Since there was no debuff, this room was likely the only one he owned. With three rooms of my own, players with fewer rooms almost never had debuffs.
“Who’s there?!”
People gathered around the table. Players of every race had come together, creating a sinister atmosphere.
“What?”
“We have to kill him.”
Before I could even speak, the other side drew their weapons. Action came before dialogue.
“This place must never be discovered. The moment that oni girl’s ears hear… it’s over!”
The woman screamed in terror and tried to use magic on me. She was a fairy, yet her mouth was extremely filthy.
“Oni…”
Even though they were just extras, the species that came out of their mouths was familiar. A race that appeared unusually often on the 4th Floor. Ony.
Another word for goblin. A man who looked like a fairy’s companion stepped forward to block her.
“Wait a moment. We need to calm down a bit.”
“What?!”
“Think about it. Why would that man come over here…”
The man looked at me rationally. He didn’t blindly charge like a fairy. In that sense, he gave me a high score.
Originally…
Combinations of various things. The novel’s content wasn’t perfectly remembered, but there were rare but clear parts. One of those points was the red goblin, Orihime, who was settled on the 4th Floor.
She must have been a hybrid of onis and giants.
From Christina’s definition, Orihime was evil. The regressor Sodahui, with Christina’s help, would defeat Orihime. These guys…
From short words, it was clear they were trying to escape — a resistance group. If I expressed it that way, it sounded grand, but in reality they were just slave bastards. Slaves would fit better.
Not bad.
Creating contact with slaves was fine. In the end, I had to catch Orihime anyway. I needed to be on good terms with these guys to play in the playground. It was obvious we would clash with Orihime sooner or later, but if I left them alone, I would be a fool. I might as well eat them too.
But is it possible?
Catching Orihime was no problem. Since she was a regressor, if I had time, I could naturally crush her. The problem was the harmony of cock and dick. I was worried if my dick could fill a max push.
Empty sucking was meaningless.
I cautiously approached the slaves.
“Don’t come closer!”
The fairy showed a sharp reaction. Compared to her colleagues, she was quite aggressive.
“You were talking about men, right? Were we left out?”
“What?”
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. For a woman without etiquette, I responded with the same attitude.
“Orihime. You are her slaves, aren’t you?”
“H-How…?!”
The surprised fairy was blocked by the man.
He sent the fairy behind him and stepped forward.
Human. A skinny human.
“I thought it was unusual to open the door alone, but… it seems my guess was wrong.”
“I’ve heard that kind of talk a lot.”
“What kind of thought brought you over here? Did you come to steal this room?”
“Originally, yes, but…”
I changed my mind after seeing you guys. That was what he said.
The man’s expression twisted in a way I couldn’t read. Whether he liked or disliked it, I couldn’t tell. He was skilled at expression acting.
“Because of us, you changed your mind. Can I ask in detail what that means?”
“Orihime needs to be overthrown. Right?”
“…”
To overthrow was the same as to kill.
If you lose the room, most slaves couldn’t endure the slaves’ anger and met a horrible end.
“That’s your purpose, isn’t it? If you want to escape, don’t you have to kill Orihime?”
“Yes, that’s our purpose. Since you know too well, I can’t even believe it.”
The man was cautious. He didn’t believe me at all, even though I knew too much.
“Why? Hoseon, I think that man is trustworthy.”
The fairy pointed at me and showed goodwill. It was completely different from earlier growling. With the slogan of eliminating Orihime, friends could be made in two minutes.
“Maybe she’s one of Orihime’s close aides.”
“…”
Is she a spy?! Like that Yoon guy?
“That’s right.”
“This, this bastard!”
The fairy’s attitude flipped instantly. Faster than flipping a palm, it was extremely unbelievable.
How did this idiot even survive this far?
I didn’t say it out loud. The men standing beside me seemed to be thinking the same.
“I can’t judge recklessly, but it’s possible that’s how it is.”
The man, Hoseon, wasn’t talking to the fairy. He was warning me.
“I understand.”
The slaves were always on guard. Christina and Sodahui also struggled to meet the slaves. Out of worry that they might be destroyed by Orihime, they were the type who checked every bridge one by one.
Actually, Orihime knew everything.
She was deliberately leaving it alone. To receive the seed of a strong male that could overpower her and bear strong descendants.
Tsk.
Sodahui understood Orihime’s values. She even clapped for the sample of a capable woman. But Christina never tolerated rape or anything like that. The clash between Sodahui and Christina. Since there was no choice, Sodahui had to kill Orihime. The evil deeds and bonds that had continued before the regression time couldn’t even be reset by the regressor.
“But should I believe you? I don’t have anyone transparent like you.”
“Stop saying nonsense, traitor!”
“No, shit.”
We hadn’t even been in the same team, yet he was already a traitor. The fairy was pointing her finger at me, but Hoseon blocked it.
“We want to trust you too. Loyal colleagues are always welcome. Especially, a player who came from outside Orihime’s territory…”
“I have a lot of coins. I can fully support you?”
“That’s an attractive condition. Still, we value secrets most of all. If trust breaks, we’ll collapse.”
“Then, should I support you first?”
What method could we share trust? In this time-sensitive situation, the only way was to share each other’s weaknesses. Apart from that, it was hard to think of anything else. But I had no weaknesses. I would give them what they needed.
If I had coins, I could prepare in various ways.
Of course, it was all pointless. If I couldn’t handle the overwhelming power difference, it was almost impossible for them to defeat Orihime. That was why the root was important.
I took out a 1-coin gold coin from my inventory. A million coins. For those who had everything taken away, a million coins was like heavenly rain.
Daily quota filling would be tough.
It was an emergency fund. I hoped even a little trust in me would grow.
“T-That gold coin! Hoseon, this man seems trustworthy!”
The fairy changed her attitude again. She was a crazy bitch.
“Patron… I think it’s patronage. I’ll pay it back someday.”
Hoseon took the gold coin. His attitude had already spoiled.
“Patron? Then start calling me sir.”
“…”
Hoseon’s face crumpled. He must have had a fairly high position in the slaves. Leader, something like that.
But what could I do. Honestly, he was just an extra I didn’t even remember. For an extra, I had zero intention of yielding. If she were a pretty woman, I would have bent over and sucked her off. But Hoseon was trying to show pride.
Should I just beat him to death right now? While thinking, I eventually shook my head.
Different from Christina.
With Orihime, I had to approach carefully. I was going to plant them as my spies.
I took out another 1-coin.
“Want it?”
Following the gold coin that swayed alluringly, Hoseon’s head lowered.
