Chapter 1

While trying to regain consciousness, I heard people speak in a very strange language. I think they were discussing what to do with me…

"Ин дар ҳолати бад ба назар мерасад" (This one looks in bad shape)- Man 1

"Ман медонам, аммо он мӯи ғайриоддӣ дорад, ки ин нархро меорад" (I know, but it has unusual hair, it will fetch a price)- Man2

"Хуб ӯро ҳамроҳӣ мекунанд" (Fine bring her along)- Man 1

I don't know how long I had been blacked out.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the roof of an old carriage. Dirty didn't even begin to describe it, filth and odder that would make one gag without a second thought.

I tried to move and soon found that I was tied with chains, I pulled on them several times.

"It's no use the chains are made of anti-mana stones, you cant break them" a young man whose face I couldn't see clearly warned me. " If you keep struggling the chains will activate and hurt you"

Ah, so its binding magic.

The young man stretched his hand that had a piece of bread in it "here, they came to feed us but you still were unconscious"

I grabbed the piece of bread, it was stale and hardened

"Eat they won't feed us anymore"

The man encouraged me to eat it. After that, I didn't hear him speak any longer.

'I should try and appraise myself, my head feels foggy so my HP must be low'

I discreetly voiced

Level 249 huh… Wonder what's the average around here. Those wolf and foxes were about half my level of now so it shouldn…..

Just then the binding chains reacted to the status inspection, shocking and paralyzing me. The young man just shook his head. 'He probably thinks I was trying to cast to escape'

"I told you, they are binding chains you can't escape, give up"

I couldn't see his face but I knew that his voice sounded as if he had given up on all hope, just waiting to be killed.

"Do you know what they'll do to us? Or where they are taking me?"

"You don't know, do you? We are in a slave merchant's cart. We'll be sold off like exotic pets or workers, as for you women I hope you're not eye-catching" His voice traced with pity for me but it was hard to believe that I ended in this kind of situation just because these idiots found me.

Come to think of it their language was very strange… Wait, how can I understand him but not them.

Days went by but the young man did not say anything else I don't know if he had passed out or was lying dead, the chains did not allow much movement and food was a luxury at this point even though I didn't hear his voice I would save half of my portion in my hair for him.

Until we arrived at a city a noisy one at that.

"Бӯсаи сахт" (Get off!!!) Man 1

The man hollered at the top of his longs, it would seem he wanted us to react or at least the other beasts and people? They looked weird or different some had tails and animal ears other had feathers or scales, what are they?

The one persistent question in my mind was, now what? That despicable god isn't one to help… So I'll be sold? As merchandise? I don't want that at all.

As they made us get off the wagon the light of the day hit my skin for the first time, the first time in this world.

But this shouldn't be how it goes not this stupidly at least.

"Hey, I don't know or care who you are but I am not a slave this is not correct" I yelled at one of the men that was pulling at our chains.

That's when I felt a whip struck my already battered back, I let out a growl. I moved my hair away from my face and glared at him with my scarlet red pupils sending shivers down his spine. The man stumbled and fell on his bum, the shivering man started yelling

"Шоҳ Шайтон" "Шоҳ Шайтон" "Шоҳ Шайтон" "Шоҳ Шайтон" (Devil Lord, Devil Lord, Devil Lord, Devil Lord!!) Man 2

Once he yelled those incoherent words, the bustling town came to a halt. Eyes filled with fear came from the hyumans, but those who had animal features fell to their knees one by one leaving me stunned. Just when I wanted to ask what was going on a heavy bolt of lightning struck me leaving me unconscious.

-------------------

THE YOUNG MAN

"What is that thing, mommy?" A child pointed in the direction of were now a woman lied unconscious

"No don't look at that, if that's a Devil lord it means disaster is to come. Let's go now!"

Both of them scattered from that place.

But now, that woman, the one I shared bread with is the new Devil Lord? But how is it that she's in that state, some of those gashes were already on her when they put her in the carriage. Maybe a powerful creature tried to eat her core. Yes, that sounds logical, for we non-hyumans possess a gem that grows stronger as we grow, if a creature tried to consume it, it would be within the same strength of the Devil Lord.

( It really is the devil lord!) Man1 He grabbed her by her hair lifting her face towards him trying to pry her eyes open.

(Just look at how those filth try to protect her ) Man2

(If we sell her off to those bastards at the research department we will be rich!!) Man1

Giving no thought the hyumans placed a cursed choker on her as to prevent her from using any type of magic or her strength. Several Nyako tried to get in their way but were kicked and whipped out of the way. They began to mark us one by one, that retched mark… It was over for all of us. We are to be sold off in an auction house as an object this is foolish.

Before I could succumb to my misery they pulled me up, I was next. I felt the sizzle in my skin as the slave mark was embedded in my very soul.

"GRRRR.AHHHHH" I let out a shout at the pain. They threw me out of the way to bring her up next for the marking 'No, not her if she's marked we will all be doomed to this'

No matter how much I tried to move my body would not respond to me, desperation overcame me when I saw the mark being placed on her chest. And just like that, we were all condemned to become slaves.

After a few hours went by they placed us in cages…
