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

"What!!!" Cried one of the women as she came close to me to inspect my body. When she saw the marks of the hits, especially the few near the head, she screamed again with a little louder voice.

One of the elders, who seemed to be the eldest and the leader that the group followed, came to me to see the beating as well. When he saw what happened to me, he could only sigh and put his hands on my shoulder and speak.

"Come with us, Cleon. We will help you with your wounds." Said the elder as he took me with him. I did not know why they cared about me and why the other woman seemed so sad after seeing me like that.

Don't tell me they are my family or something!!!

"But who are you?" I asked as I stopped and looked at the elder who spoke earlier.

"I am the grandfather of your friends, Penny and Patchface. This one, who screamed earlier, is your aunt. Your mother's close friend." Said the elder slave as he introduced the three people that talked to me earlier.

"Then do I have a family? Are mother and father still alive?" I asked as I looked at the elder. It would be a much more troublesome mission than I thought if I did have a family in this world.

What am I supposed to do if I did have a family? I can't even save myself, not to mention my family.

I hoped that the man would say something that I wanted this time and wished that the system did not fuck me up to this degree. But the things did not go as I wanted since the system threw me here, so how could it change this time? I had a bad feeling when I looked at the man's old face. I knew that the system must have wanted to play a dirty trick on me by sending me here.

"Your father died not long ago when he tried to instigate the slaves against the masters. Lucky for you that you weren't here at that time and were with the master out of the city. The master's soldiers took your father and crucified him in front of the city. Your mother did not get out of it easily as well. She got beaten up, and she is bedridden right now. It seemed that the master has just known what happened while he wasn't in the city and decided to take everything on you." Said the man who was leading the group as he started explaining everything from the start.

I told you, didn't I? The system decided to fuck me up. Now, I am the son of the number one hated man in the city. It was no wonder that master tried to fuck me like that and looked at me as if I was a pest or a sex toy. When I woke up here, I got confused by why I was with the master from the start. It turned out this body was one of his favorite slaves that that master chose himself to go outside the city with him. I hope that he did not use me in another way. I knew those masters had weird fetishes sometimes. I should check my ass when I got alone.

Well, anyway, even if this body had got used as his sex toy, no one would tolerate the existence of the rebel's son. And he probably decided to replace this body with a new slave after hearing the news about the things this body's father had done. I wouldn't get surprised if that man tried to do the same again today or tomorrow.

Plus, This body had a bedridden mother who needs me to feed her. What am I going to do now? I did not expect things to be this bad. How am I gonna solve all these problems?

After thinking and not finding a solution for a lot of time, I could only sigh.

It seems that my only way to get out of all this shit is by trying to get as many kingdom-building points as I can get in the next few months.

Wait a minute!!! Didn't the system say that the world would evaluate every act I do and reward me if I get it done? What about the act that I pulled right now? Although it is not considered much, I did find about this body's history. At least the world should reward me with some pocket money, right.

'Show me my status, system.' I shouted in my mind, a little excited to see if what the system said was true. I hope the world is more generous than the system, or I will stay like this for a very long time.

When I saw my new Status, I was ecstatic. I earned four points by pulling such an act and getting this information. Although it was not a lot, it was an improvement.

At least, I now know that I could earn points like that. Getting this information was helpful and related to the purpose of the system. It would help keep me alive and cautious at the very least. Without me, there would be no kingdom. That was why I get rewarded, I guess. Maybe if the act had been more critical to my mission and the system's goal, I would get rewarded more handsomely. At least the world did not act like a dick as the system did.

When I scrolled down my Status, I saw a new skill and almost fell on my face. I told you this system was a fucking annoying one. Not to mention that horrible name of the new skill, its effect was not worth much. Only one point in charisma, the system was unquestionably trying to pull my legs here, right.

This effect is absolutely pathetic, isn't it? The children should be the perfect case scenario for this. Could you refuse a request coming from a child? Their charisma should be in hundreds when they act innocent, so why the effect is so little.

I know that I am in a world where the strong ate the weak and used their skull to drink their wine but still. At least, try to show some sincerity here and give me another two or three points, system.

I decided to ignore the nonsense thrown at me by the system as I didn't deserve all this. I am an innocent soul that got trapped in a weird black realm for nearly two million years. You should expect me to have got nuts after all this, but here I am, living and kicking. So why should I deal with the system that tried to infuriate me every time it did something? I am sure the system would be the death of me very soon by pulling such actions in the future. I just hope that he behaved ordinarily when my life is on the line.

I followed the man whose name was Kaiba. He kept getting on and on about how fucked my life would be from this moment forward. I really wanted to cry after hearing the bad news one after another, but what could I do right now after hearing all that? Would I be able to change what had already happened? Could I go back to the past and kill my father before he did something like that?

It is my fate, now, and I can't change it even if I want to do so.

The man took me to a small room where a lot of servants were preparing to sleep. The room was so small and could only take at most four men lying down. But the number of slaves in this small room had exceeded the ten already. Just imagine how a bedridden woman could live in such a situation. But well, she was a slave, and the slaves had no right to disagree with the masters. He took me to the area in the corner, and I could see a middle-aged woman lying on the floor with a pale face. She looked like she was going to die anytime now.

"She is your Mhysa, Red Ant." Said Kaiba as he looked at the woman who seemed in pain. He knew that we, mother and son, did not have anyone to help us at the moment. Most of the servants would probably avoid us so that they would not get complicated in the process.
