The place we finally arrived at was a place lined with tightly closed iron gates.
“See those iron bars over there? Look over there and choose. It’s narrow, but you’ll be able to see most of it. If they’re bowing their heads or crying, just call out to them. Then they’ll show their faces. If there’s a bitch who pretends not to hear, make a sound like you’re opening the door. Then they’ll know you’re coming in to beat them up and they’ll know to open it on their own.”
Hehe. Vicky, who was laughing unpleasantly again, blocked the direction I came in from. As if she was watching me.
Next to them, five men guarding this prison were sitting on chairs playing poker.
Dojin looked at them for a moment and then examined the several iron gates lined up on both sides.
Women were seen trapped inside a small window blocked by iron bars.
Although the overall condition is good, there are one or two people in each room who show signs of horrific beatings.
It seemed like they only assaulted one or two people as an example to minimize damage to the goods.
‘… Even after I level up later, I have to kill all the guys here.’
Dojin, with cold eyes, looked around each room and counted the number of people.
This was because we had to check to see if anyone was missing after the rescue.
But when I tried to look into the room in the deepest part, I noticed something strange besides the trapped person.
“…What is that?”
“huh?”
Vicky, who had been watching the men playing poker while yawning, came walking over.
Then, Dojin looked into the room he had been inspecting and said, ‘Aha’, and understood.
“That coffin? That’s not our product. We’re just storing it here. The boss says that they’re suckers who pay a pretty good amount of money just for taking care of things that come over from other cities… .”
Vicky, who had been chattering away, stopped and shut her mouth.
“Damn, don’t worry about useless things and just pick a girl to play with. You’re not a guy, are you? Then you’re in trouble. We only deal with women. Male slaves are hard to manage and are paid less than female slaves.”
Vicky stopped talking.
It was because Dojin, who was staring intently into the room, realized that she wasn’t listening to him.
As I followed my gaze, it seemed like I saw a girl collapsed near the coffin.
‘Anyway. All dickheads are the same.’
Vicky stepped back, shaking her head.
But contrary to Vicky’s thoughts, Dojin was not looking at the women scattered here and there.
[Quest occurs!]
The quest window that popped up the moment I recognized the black coffin wrapped in chains.
The conditions for quest occurrence are similar to collecting pieces of an incident.
For example, in order for a quest related to the disaster that will befall the Marzia Estate to occur, you need pieces of information or encounters that will trigger the incident.
Dojin thought it was a priest of the Church of Destruction. If he met or found him, a quest would be triggered, and it might provide a way to stop the incident.
Just like how the future of Diana, a girl who was supposed to grow up to be a swordsman, changed after receiving a destiny quest in the old Gulag village and gradually solving them.
So I came here to track down the whereabouts of the priest of the Church of Destruction… and it seemed like I had unexpectedly found a piece that would become a clue.
[Quest]
ominous coffin
Rating: Destiny
[I discovered a mysterious coffin with an ominous aura flowing through it.
It seems like it shouldn’t be in a den of common criminals.
If you do some research, you may be able to prepare for any potential risks in advance.]
Rewards: Experience, Gold, ???
The second fate quest you face after returning.
It means that if you follow the path of this quest, the fate of something big or small will change.
And at this point, the only thing that will likely change its fate is the Marzia Viscountry itself.
‘There is an image that comes to mind when I think of a coffin, but I doubt it will pop up here… … .’
Dojin looked toward the entrance, denying one possibility suggested by his knowledge of past lives.
First, we need to take a closer look at that coffin.
Which method is the cleanest?
I would like to think like a civilized person and just sweep it all away, but that would be a bit of a risky choice.
‘If we fight, it seems like we can somehow manage… but I don’t know how the quest will go, so it’d be better to put it on hold for now.’
Dojin, who had made up his mind, decided to first examine the coffin and then decide what to do.
Before that, let’s lay some groundwork so that we can deal with whatever situation unfolds.
“You said your name was Vicky?”
“Huh? You’re calling my name in a bad way? Well, anyway, why?”
“How much can you buy for a woman?”
“It varies a bit depending on age and quality, but there’s nothing that expensive right now. I’ll give you 150 gold for just playing around for a little while. Oh, and if it breaks down completely, you’ll just have to buy it. 500 per head. If you make a corpse, you’ll also have to pay for cleaning it up, so just play around moderately if possible.”
“Buy all the women in this room. There are five of them… 2,500 gold?”
Wow. One of the guys playing poker opened his mouth and exclaimed humorously.
Regardless, Dojin took out the money bag and handed it to Vicky using telekinesis.
Vicky’s expression distorted as she accepted it.
“What? That’s not enough. You’re going to play around with five of them to the point of breaking them for only about 500 gold?”
“No way. It’s just a gift for you and your friends there. I’m a bit shy, so I’m giving you a bribe to leave some space so you can have fun.”
Vicky looked at Dojin sadly.
“Are you kidding me? You want us to leave outsiders unsupervised? Stop talking nonsense and just pick a girl and come out. I’ll show you a room that suits your taste, whether it’s a bed or a torture rack. You can f*ck or slash your way there and have fun.”
Haa. Dojin let out a forced sigh.
Then, he went a step further than the mediocre villain acting he had been doing until now and started acting like an outright piece of trash, letting go of even the slightest bit of dignity he had.
“I didn’t want to say that… This prison is just my style. You must have seen it too, right? The way they trembled in fear, not knowing what their fate would be like, when they were suddenly dragged to it. This prison must have been the most frightening place for those women in their lives. It’s fun to be tormented in such a place. Isn’t that right, friends?”
Dojin asked the other guys, not Vicky.
Then he adds some words to persuade them.

“Vicky, you can take it. I’ll pay the balance and take care of those guys separately so they don’t feel bad. How about it? As a fellow man, can you respect my tastes a little?”
Hehe. One of the men stood up and put down his poker cards.
“You seem like a manly customer, despite your dirty-looking appearance. Yes, sexual preferences deserve to be respected. Especially when they’re driven by money.”
“Yeah, Vicky. You’ve been having a bit of a headache lately because of your gambling debts, right? There’s no way out of here except through this hallway, so what’s the big deal?”
“These kids… … .”
Vicky glared at the giggling men, but couldn’t argue any further.
I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to earn 500 gold all by myself, even if I could share it with other guys.
Finally, Vicky turned around and said,
“I’ll wait at the end of the hallway, so do whatever you want.”
Other men also tried to follow Vicky in groups of three or five, making crude hand gestures.
“Oh, right. Could you bring me some wine and water? Five oak barrels, I’ll pay for it.”
“What? What are you going to do with all that?”
“I’ll drink some too. What about the rest… ?”
Dojin turned his gaze towards the prison, his words trailing off, and he snickered.
Then the men said with tired eyes.
“Are you planning on forcing the women to drink it? Five oak barrels for five women? Hahaha. You really are a malicious customer. I understand. I will prepare the most disgusting and strong liquor for you.”
With those words, Vicky and the men all disappeared.
Dojin opened the prison door and went in.
I didn’t even need a key.
Because it was an iron gate with a very simple structure that locked with a ring from the outside.
The women who saw Dojin coming into the prison were terrified and crying.
This was because I heard the conversation outside as it was not a place where sound was blocked separately.
“Please, spare me. Please spare me. I’ll do anything you tell me to do… Please, just spare my life… .”
One woman, who had the courage to speak, trembled and pleaded her case.
While protecting other women who are younger than her.
Dojin let out a faint sigh and whispered softly.
“If you do as I say from now on, you can get out of here alive.”
“Yes, yes! I’ll do whatever you tell me to do. I’ll do everything I can, so please… … !”
He said he would rescue her later, but the woman seemed to have taken it differently.
Something like, ‘If you listen well, I’ll spare your life.’
Damn, is it really because my eyes are dirty? No, let’s just think of it as my acting being too good.
Dojin, who clicked his tongue, approached the women.
Then one of them started to cry loudly.
The other women try to stop her, and one of them tells Dojin that she is scared so she should please be spared… … .
It was a total mess.
‘… I was going to ask you to pretend to be scared and scream. I guess I don’t need to ask for this separately.’
Should I call this comfortable? Should I call it absurd? Or should I call it pitiful?
“Hahaha. It’s nice to see you guys having fun already! I’ll leave the alcohol and water here, so use them well!”
“Hey, buddy! You said you’d keep them alive, right? If you’re going to take them and dispose of them anyway, give them to us before you pack them up and take them away!”
“Anyway, this kid. He can’t come to his senses when he sees women who are all broken and out of their minds.”
Just then, giggles and dirty jokes could be heard outside.
It appears that the men guarding the prison have brought the oak barrel they requested.
Dojin listened closely to see that their footsteps were getting further away.
When they are far enough away that you can no longer hear their footsteps.
Dojin raised his body.
He put off appeasing the women for now and instead inspected the coffin.
‘Seal… right?’
Even a quick glance would tell me that special measures had been taken with the coffin and the chains that held it together.
I feel a cold air flowing out from inside, and the seal is trying to block it.
‘I guess I’ll just have to touch it.’
It may be dangerous, but just looking at it will only waste time, a finite resource. That was the thought that came to my mind as I moved my hands.
Phagectic.
The seal surrounding the coffin sparked wildly as if trying to block Dojin’s approach.
and.
Phagejik-
There’s a crack in the seal.
The delicate balance between the force that was trying to burst out from within and the force of the seal that was pressing down on it from the outside was destroyed by Dojin’s minor intervention.
Just as a huge dam can collapse due to a small crack, the seal that had once begun to crack was instantly rendered ineffective, and the coffin and chains shattered as they vibrated violently.
“…What kind of seal is this flimsy?”
Dojin took a step back, shaking off the tingling pain in his right hand caused by the Mana Collision Spark.
The basic concept of destruction is to destroy the balance of the mana array and cause self-destruction, but it’s so bad that it collapsed just because it reacted to the magic circuit approach.
It seemed like a sealing magic that was made quite hastily.
Otherwise… … .
‘What’s inside is that much more difficult to control.’
For a moment, I looked at the coffin with slightly nervous eyes.
Soon, something inside, having removed all the seals that were holding it back, began to emit a terrifyingly cold energy.
At this, Dojin felt something cold flowing down his spine.
‘No matter how I look at it, it’s still the same feeling… … ?’
As I was recalling the possibility that came to mind the moment I saw the ominous coffin but had previously denied it, the lid of the coffin, which had been standing vertically, fell over with a loud thud.
Inside the coffin that was revealed like that, sleeping quietly, very quietly, was a beautiful woman who confirmed Dojin’s expectations.
A race that should not be seen in the Central Continent.
The people of the Shadow Principality at the bottom of the floating continent, floating high in the sky at the end of the North Sea.
It was a beautiful monster, a vampire, thirsting for blood.
‘Crazy. And this is Elder!’
The length of the fangs, which seem a bit short to bite a human’s neck and drink blood, is a symbol of a high-ranking vampire who does not necessarily need to suck blood.
Such people are called Elders, which is the term used to refer to the highest-ranking vampires who have been personally bled by Prince Tyrund, the First Blood.
