《HERO CHRONICLES:》BK2; Chapter 34: [ Fale Mondrian ]

Surprised, the shop manager smiled and answered, "The slaves on that carriage are the exhibit for auction today.
There are those who have some skills among them... Oh! How about buying one of them? I guaranty they are all quite excellent and most of them are virgins."
Hein looked at him but didn't say anything.
Shrugging his shoulders, the shop manager could only smile awkwardly. He thought that although he have already saw every kind of people; especially nobles, thus he can somewhat guess just what are they thinking but in front of this young man... he seemed like a deep dark cave.
He couldn't see through him at all! However what he knows is that his movements are those that of a very high rank noble. Flawless and natural.
Passing through many rooms and cages, the boss took them to a well decorated room.
In the way through, there were some cages that have non-human slaves inside. It seems these slaves had still not been tamed. The majority of them were children.
When Hein saw them, he couldn't help but winced in displeasure.
How could someone do something like this? He thought.
As a man from a peaceful modern era, he really couldn't stomach such despicable acts.
However, he couldn't do anything.
This world has its own rules. Whether he liked it or not, he can't do anything about it.
He can save these poor children but what then? Free them? They might be caught again.
Even if he decided to burn these kinds of people now but who knows how many people will show up and do something like this again?
Feeling disgusted, Hein only let out a sighed.
He doesn't understand how people can bear to do this, NO! He doesn't want to understand it!
Looking at the pitiful faces of the beast children, Hein finally decided to take action.
He can't do it in the broad daylight but he can do it at night. He will surely free these children!
Although he knew that these actions would bear nothing at all, however at least he tried saving them.
Whether he turned into a demon, he will never forgive those who treat the cutest kemonomimis in the world badly!
"Here, the merchandise that meet your requirements. Please choose freely."
The room Hein and the two girls were taken to was wide. There were ten men and women lined up against the walls in handcuffs.
Wearing simple, dirty tunics, they looked hesitatingly at him. They might be thinking or assessing as to what kind of person that might buy them looked like.

Their fate, after all were in that party's hand.
Aside from the men who didn't catch Hein's attention even the slightest, the five women are quite the foreign beauty.
They are all wearing thin clothes stopping at the knee.
Since it's quite thin and dirty, the breast area is transparent.
"The five men were quite strong and have great fighting skills and the women have sufficient domestic skills. I can guarantee that their services will never disappoint you."
While saying so, the shop manager explains about them one by one.
Bored, Hein tried using his [ Divine Vision ] but he was then slightly surprised.
The woman who wore an eyeglasses and seemed like a good girl has titles [ The slaughterer ], [ Murderer ] and [ The Avenger ]. The girl who looked like an Amazon was also terrifying as she also has titles [ Blood Drinker ] and [ The Beheader ].
Aren't these two girls a little bit terrifying? They put the men beside them to shame! Hein screamed inside his head.
The other girls have titles like [ Restless ], [ Night Succubus ] and [ Cherry Eater ].
Hein was thoroughly surprised by their titles that he immediately disabled his [ Divine Vision ].
Some things are better left unknown... yup! That's it!
The shop manager noticed Hein's seemingly bored expression as he only watched them while leaning his head in his left hand so he decided to show some more.
During the rotation of three set of 10 people, Hein was still indifferent as he only half-heartedly replied to give proper responses.
Sighing, the shop manager once again showed another set of ten people but this time, Hein finally reacted. He thought that maybe because he finally saw something that interest him.
But unbeknownst to him, it's because the girl who Hein was looking for finally showed up.
----------------------------
Among the slaves that had lined up, was a woman with a braided thin black hair and purple eyes.
She was giving a really hard look towards Hein who was sitting in the chair. She might be assessing the masked young noble in front of her.
Hein on the other hand was staring at her through his mask. He didn't pay any attention to the talking shop manager beside him.
He was using his [ Divine Vision ] to see whether the girl was really Meirin or not.
...Unfortunately, she wasn't Meirin but only a girl that looked likes her.
Fale Mondrian
Level 4
Farmer
[ Farmer's Daughter ], [ Strong Willed ], [ Big Sister ]

A normal girl who fell in slavery.
Hein randomly thought that something might have happened in her family that's why she ended up in this position.
The girl; Fale Mondrian, seemed to noticed Hein's gaze as she intensified his gaze to him, as if she wanted to eat him whole.
"Don't look at me, pervert! Do you want me to cut that thing between your legs?"
The whole room froze.
Even the slaves beside her were left dumbfounded because of her words as they fearfully step a few step away from her.
The shop manager's face who heard her words, distorted into a terrifying scowl. He then shouted angrily at her,
"Shut up! Do you not understand what kind of young master he is?!"
The man who looks like a guard standing behind the slaves raised his whip he was holding and quickly lashed it on Fale's back.
Expecting something like this would happen; Fale slowly closed her eyes which were clear as a spring, waiting for the painful whip.
However, at that instant when the man lashed downwards, Hein suddenly vanished in his seat and all of a sudden zoomed in front of the man like a lightning, his hand struck down as if he was tearing the heavens and splitting the earth.
A tearing sound resonated in the air, accompanied by a shriek of painful scream.
The shop manager, as well as the people around the room was struck speechless while looking at the scene. They couldn't understand what is happening.
Hein, who appeared beside the girl, hugged her close with one hand while his other hand was raised in front of him.
But the one who really couldn't understand what just happened was Fale who closed her eyes while gritting her pearl white teeth and expecting the whip to lash painfully in her skin but was instead felt something warm hugging her body.
Bewildered, she opened her eyes but just to see a masked young man hugging her so close.
She immediately screamed and throws some punches on the masked young man while jumping away from him.
"Y, you..."
"This king will buy her. How much?"
She tried to say something but was cut off by Hein who spoke to the shop manager.
"Who said you can!?" Fale shouted at Hein without hesitation.
She grabbed his black clothes and shakes him but she was magnificently ignored. Hein didn't even faced her and kept staring at the shop manager.
"T, that is..."
"Don't worry about her. So how much?"
"...uum...T, ten gold..."
The shop manager seemed hesitant as he kept glancing at the enraged slave girl.
He thought that maybe this masked young noble and this girl knew each other before, that's why the slave girl was allowed to trash talk the masked young master in front of him.
When Hein heard the price the shop manager said, his voice suddenly became colder, more terrifying.
"Are you trying to cheat on this king?"
"Hiii!"
Together with Hein's coercion, the shop manager shrieked in fear.
He just witnessed the terrifying strength of the masked young man in front of him, who wouldn't?
"N, no! N, nine gold coins... how about n, nine gold coins?"
"Fine..."
While saying so, Hein waved his hand in the table and exactly nine gold coins appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing this, the shop manager and the people in the surrounding once again gob smack.
Gold coins appeared with just a wave of his hand? Isn't this too magical?
The shop manager guessed in his heart that Hein might possess the legendary [ Spatial Ring ].
Thinking this, the shop manager thought that Hein was not an ordinary noble. He might be a prince of some country; he might even be a son of an emperor.
'[ Spatial Ring ]! I once went to the Great Verdant Empire in the south and even heard that only a few nobles possess this legendary priceless treasure. In the legends that I have heard, even when people offered to buy one for millions of gold coins, no one has ever been willing to sell one... to think that in this kingdom I met someone possessing such treasure.' The shop manager thought.
Noticing the shop manager's strange gaze at him, Hein snorted in his mind.
You think you can cheat me? Hmp! Try it on your next life! He thought, but he didn't know that ten gold coins is actually the real market price of a standard slave.
"Hey you! Even if you bought me, don't ever think of taking advantage of me or else I'm going to cut that 'thing' of yours and feed it to the dogs, understand!?"
Fuming on anger because of being ignored the whole time, Fale began threatening him.
Shaking his head, Hein give a chop to her head to shut her.
Shock by the chop, Fale could only groan while glaring at him.
"Quiet. Ashley, give this noisy and annoying girl some clothes that you bought for now. We'll buy something for her later."
Hearing his orders, Ashley immediately choose some clothes but then, the shop manager stop us and said,
"We will first apply the slave contract first."

Law of Shadows
Mercs are causing trouble in my city. They are hunting someone, whatever the cost. It’s not like I care that some lowly humans died, but if I don’t act now it would set a bad example. So what would the hero do? Probably he would save the victims and protect them while the enemies keep coming…Yeah, as if I would ever do something so troublesome! They aren’t calling me the demon lord for no reason. I suppose I’ll just shoot the victim and be done with it.

On hiatus until I finish other stories Apollo and Dion, a dysfunctional rag-tag pair of demon hunters have been sent to investigate the city of Havenbrook and its inhabitants. The mission is simple: to find the cultists responsible for a recent string of murders and to bring them to justice. Even if it takes killing dozens of demons on the way there. But things are never that simple when you deal with the dark arts. Cultists, demon pacts, sacrificial murders all stand in the demon hunters' way as they search for the truth. A truth that will force them to question their own identities, a truth about the absolute evil lurking beyond heaven and earth. The question is, if they find the truth, will they be strong enough to handle it?

Beings capable of crushing mountains with their monstrous might, creatures that breathe fire and magic and death all at once. In this land, our story begins. Hello dear readers. Long have I been a voracious book gobbler and tonight I thought I'd try my hand. However I crave acknowledgement so please leave a review, all criticism is welcome. If my meagre offerings are accepted by the book gods, (and to a lesser extent, this community) I shall endeavor to persevere with my writing, though this was done on a whim. Probably will be edited at some point, perhaps blue box chan will make an appearance. Typos are likely, please point them out if you see any. And now that you have been captivated by my enchanting synopsis, please enjoy.

***Spanish Edition*** Pocos lo saben, pero, debajo de nuestras ciudades, en medio de los bosques y montañas y hasta bajo el océano, hay otro mundo, un mundo lleno de magia, lugares fantásticos y criaturas mitológicas e imaginarias. Por casualidad, me enteré de él, y mi curiosidad me llevó a explorarlo. Hoy, me arrepiento de no haberme controlado, de no haber ignorado ese conocimiento y continuado con mi vida normal. Porque, aunque haya visto cosas increíbles más allá de la imaginación de la mayoría de las personas, conocí también a las Brujas de la Noche y las terribles verdades sobre la condición humana y el lugar de la humanidad en el universo que trajeron con ellas. ¿Cómo volver a una vida normal después de todo lo que vi? No sé si es posible, pero este relato es un intento de paliar los terribles efectos de este conocimiento, un primer paso en dirección a la normalidad. Tal vez compartir todo lo que descubrí, la simple idea de que este conocimiento no es sólo mío, me pueda ayudar.
