Chapter 1: Desert Country

Written By: Raindrops

After hearing that her mentor, Sera, went missing while on a mission to escort Count Henry’s daughter back to Raddicus Castle, Elesia left the town where she was trained as a member of the Magician’s Guild, Vaeldane, to look for her. Ignorant as she is, she went without knowing the dangers of the world. Despite that, she was trained well and was able to dispose of the local slime monsters she encountered on the way and managed to reach Derrynn Forest, which is the place Sera and company went through to reach their destination. Derrynn Forest is also the hideout of a group of bandits called Bloodclaw, led by a certain former soldier who deserted from the army.

As she reached the forest, all she found was death.

The trees have withered as far as the eye can see, the ground is barren and even the river is tainted. Of course, in this forest of death, she found neither bandits nor Sera. Instead she found a horde of undead.

Among the horde of undead, the most numerous was the corpses of bandits whose bodies are covered with fatal wounds and yet still moving in shambles, following their instinct to kill the living. They are known as Zombies.

Accompanying them are several nude women whose bodies are also covered in wounds and are constantly shedding tears of blood with widely opened jaw, whose screams would pierce the hearts of even the bravest of warriors, the Banshees.

Among them are also an undead whose flesh is clearly rotten away and their bones is visible from their pale skin and their faces almost looked like a skull due to the absence of facial muscle. While they may looked like badly decomposed corpses, these undead are more dangerous than zombies as the have sharp claws in each finger, sharp teeth like that of a wild beast’s and they walk on all fours like a beast as well. They possessed something that the zombies lacked, animal like agility and they are also capable of healing their wounds by eating human flesh. They are the Ghouls.

Among the undead, there are also several living skeletons that wore red cloaks and wield scimitars and round shields with an emblem of skull carved at the center, Skeleton Warriors.

Facing the undead horde, Elesia realized one thing; her mentor, Sera, didn’t go missing because of mere bandits, but because of the undead horde invading the forest. The undead army that have assembled in the forest is the work of the vampire known as the Nosferatu, who is the lord of Caelrig province before his defeat at the hands of the demonic existence, Emmerzail. The Nosferatu raised an undead army to reclaim Caelrig, thus he waged war against Caelrig.

The horde of undead charged at her with the intention to kill. She fought them using the element that the undead is weak against: Fire. Every time she casted the spell “Flame”, an undead would be burnt. As the undead do not feel pain, most of them keep charging even though they are burnt alive although some of them could not endure the flame with their rotten bodies and are reduced to ashes.

Elesia executed an excellent hit and run tactic against the horde of the undead to keep her distance while killing them off one by one but the number of the undead are too many and Elesia soon found herself surrounded by the undead. One of the ghouls managed to reach her and brought its claw to tear her apart. Elesia closed her eyes to meet death.

KRAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Instead of the sound of her flesh being clawed and the pain that follows, she heard a screech and a nauseating stench filled her nostrils. Slowly she opened her eyes and she saw the ghoul destroyed by a black aura and a male figure standing in front of her.

“Huh?”

Her eyes opened widely and she can finally see what her savior looks like. The man in front of her was wearing black robes and wields a staff with a skull on top. For a second, he looked like a black mage but upon closer inspection, that hypothesis is not quite true. He looked like a handsome young man with silver long hair, except that his eyes are blood red and his skin is pale white, even whiter than a corpse’s. Those strange features make him look inhuman. The man grinned at her for a second before turning to face the horde of undead that surrounded them.

“Night Wind.”

From his spell, a huge black tornado appeared out of thin air and engulfed the horde of undead, wiping them out in an instant.

“That... can’t be...”

Although she never seen that spell, Elesia knew that spell was a Dark Magic spell, a forbidden spell. Seeing as he is able to cast such powerful dark spell, Elesia realized that the man in front of her is no ordinary black mage and judging from his inhuman features, she concluded that he must be a Warlock, a dark mage who have left humanity and is close to the realm of demons.

After he is finished wiping out the undead horde and confirmed that nobody is around, the man turned to her, causing her to ready a battle stance.

“Back off! Don’t get closer or I’ll burn you alive!”

“Oh my. You can still talk big after seeing that? Don’t bother. You know you are no match for me.”

Despite being inexperienced, Elesia knew this was the case. She trembled with absolute fear before the Warlock but her determination to save her mentor didn’t allow her to cower and beg for mercy. Amused at her, the Warlock laughed.

“Ha ha ha ha! You indeed have spirit. Very interesting.”

Mustering all the courage she has left, she spoke.

“Wh-What  do you want from me?”

“What I want is not important right now. What’s more important is what YOU want.”

“Huh?”

“You wish to save your mentor, Sera, am I right?”

“Y-Yes... How did you know?”

“That doesn’t really matter right now. What matters is that I know where she went.”

“R-Really!?”

“Indeed. She went to Islanbul.”

“Wh-What?... Liar! Why would she go there!? Her mission is to escort Lady Lynn to Raddicus Mansion!”

“Like you, she was ambushed by a horde of undead and she used a Teleport Tablet to escape and... You know what happens when you forgot to set up your destination when using a Teleport Tablet, right?”

“But if that’s the case, how did you know where she’ll be teleported to? Teleport Tablet teleports you to random location when the destination is not set! And my master is not foolish enough to forget to set her destination when teleporting! “

“If you are not convinced, then look at this.”

The Warlock took an orb made of crystal and from it conjured a vision of a green haired woman wearing the same mage attire that Elesia wore, except it was black instead of white like Elesia’s and she also wore a black pointy hat, the symbol of the Magician’s Guild prodigies.

“Th-That’s! Master Sera!”

As she looked closer to the vision revealed by that orb, she noticed that Sera were walking in a desert.

“Th-That’s... She’s in Islanbul!?”

“Indeed.”

“I... I have to save her!”

“Then what are you waiting for? Go and save her before she is captured by slavers. I shall assist you by teleporting you to the border of Islanbul but once you’re there; you are on your own.”

One should be suspicious when a stranger, let alone a dark mage, helps them, but Elesia, ignorant and innocent as she is, believed in his story and did not consider the possibility that he may have ulterior motives in helping her.

“Th-Thank you... May I know your name?”

“My name is Lither.”

♦ ♦ ♦

Islanbul is a desert country located in the southwest corner of the continent of Hallybane, west of the Kingdom of Lordarus. Its culture is different than Lordarus or any other neighboring kingdoms in many ways. In this country, slavery is legal, as opposed to Lordarus which have banned slavery since hundreds of years ago. Although the other neighboring kingdoms, like the kingdom of Alcus to the north, also practiced slavery, none of them have bigger slave market than Islanbul, especially slave markets that sold female slaves. In fact, while the majority of slaves in Alcus are male, the majority of slaves in Islanbul are female. In Islanbul, men of great wealth and or authority may marry multiple wives, many of which are more like sex slaves than wives. The practice of polygamy in Islanbul made female slavery extremely popular. The popularity of female slavery makes it a common occurrence for recently captured female slaves to be humiliated in town in front of a crowd for advertising purposes.

Elesia arrived at the border between Lordarus and Islanbul by teleportation and she didn’t even look back or think of any way to return home. All that she thought of is to rescue her mentor. Because of this naïve thinking, she got herself captured by desert slavers and have been  transported to the city of Taballu where she is currently waiting in line to be humiliated as the girls before her did.

Taballu is one of the cities with big slave market. Many priests, nobles, and rich merchants frequent the slave market and buy any slaves that took their fancy. This city is part of the territory ruled by one of the three Mareeks, Baltomeer din Rhazid.

The chief of one of the slaver groups in the city, Ramadeem, is currently “inspecting” one of his good in the central plaza of the city, letting the crowd watch with the intention of advertising her. Elesia also watched the whole thing as she is next in line. Losing himself to his lust, he dropped his turban while thrusting his penis in and out of her nether regions wildly like an animal. Cleo, the girl he is having sex with, moaned loudly like a slut and showed an expression of ecstasy while standing on all fours and taking him from behind like a dog.

“Kuhhh! She’s… very tight!”

Ramadeem slapped her butt and she moaned with delight while shaking her ass, wanting to be slapped more.

“Ahhn! Ohhh! Ahh! Y-Yes! Harder! Slap me harder!”

“What a bitch! You’re a slut, aren’t you!? Say it! Say it!”

“Yes! I’m a slut! Ahh! I’m a slut who loves cocks!”

“Ooooh!! Oooooohhhh!”

“Hyaaahn!”

Ramadeem shouted as he reached climax and shoots his semen inside while Cleo accepted it all with her womb. Ramadeem breathed heavily and tiredly fell to his knees while Cleo turned to face him and whispered something to his ear.

“Now, you’re mine. Obey my every command and you will be rewarded.”

“Yes… Mistress….”

Ramadeem got up, fixed his robes, put his turban back on and glanced at the next girl, Elesia, and grinned before issuing his command.

“Bring her to me!”

His henchmen pushed Elesia to him and immediately she became the source of attention. The reason is not only because her cute features can be compared to Cleo’s beauty but also because she is a White Slave. White Slave is a term used for white skinned female slaves who came from another country. Because the majority of people in Islanbul have dark skin, White Slaves are valued highly. In fact, in the entire city, Elesia is the only white skinned person and thus she definitely stand out compared to the rest of the slaves, even the beautiful Cleo. Confused at the lustful gazes of all the men present, she unintentionally pissed herself on the spot. All the men cannot miss witnessing the clear and yellowish liquid leaking out from her skirt and laughed.

“Ha ha ha ha! She pissed herself!”

The crowd of men laughed louder and louder, making Elesia extremely embarrassed and attempts to hide her wet skirt with her hands.

“Take her clothes off!”

“Nooo! Don’t! Help me!! Someone! Help Meeee!!”

As if they have waited for this, the henchmen hastily ripped her mage robes off while she can do nothing but shout and plead for help like the other slaves before her. In no time at all, she was completely naked and her hands are bound to her back with ropes to prevent her from covering her exposed white skin.

“Ooooh!”

“A White Slave! She’s definitely valuable!”

“I wanna buy her!”

The crowd of men, amazed by the white beauty before them, showed the same lustful expression they had when watching Cleo being violated. Unable to cover her exposed body, Elesia could do nothing but close her eyes and pray to god and let this nightmare end.

 “This is certainly a rare find.”

Ramadeem began inspecting her by groping her rather small sized right breast and her right thigh, feeling her smooth white skin.

“Kuhh! G-Get your hands off me!”

“Heh heh heh. What smooth skin you have. “

Ramadeem then slides his finger to her crotch and noticed that her lower entrance was tighter than the other women’s. He grinned and asked her:

“Have you had sex before?”

“!!”

That question took her by surprise and she thought she’s going to be raped on the spot like Cleo before her.

“N-No! I haven’t… Please! Don’t…!”

She cried and pleaded him not to rape her.

“A virgin, huh? That will sell for a higher price indeed!”

Hearing his announcement, the crowd gets excited and their desire to make her theirs increased. A virgin slave is valued higher than used slaves because some men take pleasure in taking their first time. Not only she is a White Slave but also a virgin. This fact makes her price become more expensive.

Hearing that, Cleo frowned slightly as she judged Elesia’s worth as a slave may ruin her plan but she also took a liking to her and within her heart, she also wanted to make Elesia hers. Cleo watched from the sides as Ramadeem continue to let his hands explore every corner of Elesia’s smooth young skin.

Elesia could not resist and endured his molestation as she knew she could do nothing. She couldn’t defeat the desert slavers who captured her. What chance does she have when she is already in the city? She cursed herself for being so stupid and naïve. She cursed herself for not thinking things through. She cursed herself because she started this futile journey without any plan. She shouldn’t have come here alone. She should have reported this to the guild master, Minstrel so they can send a party to rescue her mentor. But it’s too late. She is already captured. Nothing can change that. Because she hated pain and didn’t wish to get herself hurt, she ceased all resistance and tried to convince herself to accept her new life as a slave and enjoy it like what Cleo suggested her.

Surprisingly, enjoying it isn’t as hard as she thought as her body started to get aroused and her private place started to leak out some love juice. She never had sex before. She never gave much thought about sex before. She isn’t even interested in sex. So, how come she got aroused so easily even though the one groping her is a total stranger?

Am I a pervert after all?

That question appeared in her mind. The more time passed, the more aroused she gets. Thus, the thought that she is actually a pervert at heart starts to become more and more convincing.

“A-Ahhn…”

As she gets more aroused by having her body groped by a stranger in front of a crowd of strangers, she unintentionally let out a small moan. None of the men who watched her missed it. All of them noticed that she is starting to enjoy it. Ramadeem, who is groping her, also noticed this and once again slides his finger to her labia and felt something moist. Her pussy has leaked some love juice. Collecting some of her fluids with his finger, Ramadeem raised his fingers above his head and showed the fluid that covered his finger to the crowd as he shouted:

“Looks like we have another pervert here!”

“Huh!?”

That announcement brought her mind to reality and she noticed that she is getting sexually aroused. That realization makes her even more embarrassed. But her embarrassment somehow only serves to excite her further and makes more of her love juice flow out from her crotch.

“N-No… I… I’m not a pervert…”

She tried her best to deny it but even she is slowly getting more and more convinced that she is a pervert. Of course, her words of denial are ignored by everyone present as all of them are convinced that she is a pervert because they have seen the proof.

“Looks like I’m going to have much fun training you. Don’t worry. I will save your chastity for your future master.”

He declared that he won’t be the one claiming her first time. The one who will do it is her future buyer. That declaration is supposed to make her feel relieved but she can’t help but feel some disappointment. Although she is confused as to why she would feel disappointed, she could guess that it must be because right now, a side of her wanted to have sex. Anyone would do.

“But that doesn’t mean you won’t get fucked. You see, a woman have more than one fuckhole.”

“H-Huh? What do you mean?”

“You will see.”

His words brought fear as well as excitement to her heart as she is expected to be introduced to sexual relations that don’t involve her pussy. Since she never paid any attention to anything related to sex before, she didn’t know that it is possible to have sex without involving her womanhood and thus his words makes her kind of curious. What will happen to her from now on? Thinking about it somehow excites her.

After he is finished inspecting her, Ramadeem pushed her to where Cleo and the other women who have went through the same experience as her and started humiliating the next woman in line.

“You put a good show back there.”

“H-Huh?”

Cleo teased her and she blushed. Finding her reaction to be cute, Cleo teased her further.

“I never thought you are that perverted. Looks like you will be a good sex slave.”

“U-Umm…. I’m not…”

“But to be that perverted while still being a virgin? That is indeed surprising. Perhaps you are a naturally born slut.”

“Ugh…”

She could not deny Cleo’s words. Even she thought so too. Cleo approached her and whispered in her ear:

“Don’t worry. After I’m done, I will come to pick you up. Then, you will become mine should you wish it.”

“Eh?”

After whispering in her ear, Cleo licked her ear lewdly.

“Wh-What are you doing?”

“Tee hee. What a cute reaction. That makes me want you even more.”

She couldn’t understand anything Cleo said or done but whatever it is, Cleo must have been pretending to be captured and she has a big plan. Elesia become curious about whom Cleo really is.

“Who are you, exactly?”

“When the time comes, I will reveal everything to you, my sweet Elesia.”

Cleo smiled while tracing her fingers around her crotch, picking some of Ramadeem’s leftover semen and then licked her fingers lewdly while staring at Elesia. It was not a happy smile but rather a lustful smile, similar to the grin the crowd of men showed when they lusted after her body. Her smile sent shivers down Elesia’s spine because while she find it normal for men to lust after her body, she never expected another woman to do the same to her. Although she is scared and confused at this fact, like before, it stimulated her sexual curiosity. How does a girl do it with another girl? That question appeared on Elesia’s mind but she wouldn’t dare to ask Cleo about it. In fact, in her mind she somehow looked forward to it and thus didn’t want anyone to spoil it to her until the time comes. Her future will be filled with lots of sex and she looked forward to it.

She looked forward to it… and yet she did not forget the reason she came here in the first place.

Master Sera might have been captured too. I must search for her among the slaves. Then we can escape together.

She now know what she must do. For now, she must endure the life of a slave while searching for her mentor and close friend, unaware that she has been deceived from the very beginning. Despite her determination, she could not ignore the lust that had been growing inside her heart.

Why…. Why do I feel like this? Why do I feel like I wanted to have sex…?

Elesia couldn’t understand why she is feeling this way. She was confused and it soon frightened her. She didn’t want to become a pervert. She mustn’t become a pervert or Master Sera will look down on her. Elesia shook her head to dismiss any of those negative thoughts but as she saw another woman being raped, she got excited once again and looked away.

“You can watch as much as you want. It’s a free show after all. Don’t be shy.”

Cleo teased her again. Elesia is even more embarrassed as she now looks more and more like a pervert in Cleo’s eyes.

“I-I’m not!”

“Just be honest. You are interested in sex, don’t you? Tee hee. How cute.”

“….”

Elesia can’t deny that. It’s the truth. She is indeed interested in sex, even more than she ever had in her entire life. The thought of her getting interested frightens her even more. She tried her best to dismiss all perverted thoughts by thinking of her Master Sera but her thoughts end up mixed with perverted thoughts, leading her to imagine Sera being raped by men.

Nooo! I’ve violated Master Sera in my mind! I’m sorry Master Sera!

Then she remembered that Sera might have been captured already and perhaps, she is also being violated by slavers right now. Elesia once again renewed her determination to save her mentor, the one who saved her from loneliness.
