《The Empath [hidden]》chapter 8
Advertisement
Anna POV :
Sigh to be abused liked that day after day that damn nobles, the truth is you see I did gather 5 million gold for the divine life potion which cures just about everything for my brother.
But even though I was able to get the money, the darned priest refused to sell it to me reason being some asshole noble took an interest in me and wanted my body for his sick pleasures.
So with no way out I agreed to the deal and sold myself, after he got tired of abusing me he sold me to slave house but not before threathening ma that if I mention about him or anything he did to me to anybody he could kill my brother, I wonder why though.
But it's better this way i guess, even if my brother knew he could just recklessly charge in and die so better for it to be forgotten, anyway I don't regret it since I was able to see my cute little brother smile happily when he was cured.
Though I thought that could be the last time I saw him but I guess I still have my lucky streak, the one who bought is so innocently cute, interesting contract he made, giving me much freedom and even a chance at escaping slavery.
But I somehow doubt he will let it go just like that, moreover the blood contract did say it will release slavery but not the blood contract, so I will have to be his body guard either way, how cunning hehe, well let's just play along for now.
What should I do now, my owner gave me two days free time and ample money to make preparation for dungeon raiding but it doesn't really take much time to prepare.
Should I visit my brother, yeah that could be nice but he will overreact and it's probably better to watch over him from a distance at least until I can get a clear grasp on what my buyer wants from me.

I guess I should make some money, he did say only to buy equipment but didn't really say that I should not resell it, hehe time to go to auction house.
Maria POV :
I am dragged to auction house, Anna who introduced herself on the way explained to me on how she has experience evaluating weapons and items her plan is to buy cheap but good unidentified items and sell high, though I had my doubts about it, I was soon convinced of her expertise.
The lady made 100 gold within few hours, if she had this ability why did she sell herself anyway, it's probably better not to ask but I am little curious.
She then dragged me to alchemy store to buy ingredients with the money she made from auction, few more hours later the potions she made sold for 500 gold, wow the lady just made my yearly salary in half a day.
Then she dragged me to clothing store, the thing after that is stuff of nightmare for the first time in my life I learned women can be quite disgustingly perverted too.
What she did next wasn't something I could have belived ever if not for me seeing it right now, well dressed I was dragged back to the slave auction house, what the hell does she plan on doing here, no I don't want to be here I will fucking murder them if I see those scumbags again, freeing myself I run away after all even if I am confident in my strength I can't kill them all after all at least for now.
Anna POV :
I watch the girl runaway from me, guess she still got her trauma about this place, even I don't like coming here but as much as I could love not to I still have things that must be done, ignoring the puzzled guards I make my way to the one that sells slaves.

My reason for being here is simple, I want to free the kids I saw down there where I was locked up before, thankfully they aren't the beautiful kind and arent that costly as adults or warriors, after all they are to be sold to poor nobles to do housework.
Anyway for the rate of 5-10 golds each I buy 57 kids, the slaver has good laugh at how a slave is buying slaves but none the less goes through with the deal since all he cares about is gold and it's not like they are special product wanted by nobles he could care less what I do with them, well I guess in this case it's a good thing.
I should probably set them free so my owner doesn't get any funny idea and order me to do something bad, but not here I suppose.
I drag back all the kids to the orphanage I know, I release the slave seal and leave the kids with strong willed priest that runs the orphanage, I have known him for long so I can at least trust him with kids.
The priest is a little surprised to see me as its a known story of how I sold myself to slavery, though a little happy that I am free of that hell hole he looks worried that I am still someone's slave but I comfort him explaining the situation to which he let's out a long sigh.
I also learn that my brother has followed my own path and is currently training himself to become a good hunter with the help of guard captain whom i am familiar with and he is doing that to earn enough gold to free me.
Just like him, ah damn dust in the air.........., I guess I won't be seeing him for a while then, sigh it's better he doesn't know the truth at least for now, I highly doubt my current owner will just willingly sell me back sigh.....
After few more hours of chatting with him I decide it's time to head back.
Jacks POV :
Well I am just grinding the production skills for now but a certain rows of messages, well the thing just informs me about list of action done by my not slaves.
Skimming through it I find what they did and was a little surprised at their action, wow why didn't I think of that damn i could have made some gold with her well not that it matters now i gues.
Anna seems to be a smart and daring she went and bought slaves, we'll I guess she has a good hearth, if it was me I couldn't go to the place that I had been held as a slave, surely she must have suffered I guess the lady's a courageous one.
The other one however seems to be in trouble well not my problem after all I did give her permission to do whatever she wanted, still this earns her a few brownie points for her stupid stunt, hmm. ?....wait what...sigh this is beyond stupid huh, well whatever back to grinding.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.
