When all that remained of the beast was a pool of blood with the occasional presence of mounds of flesh, Arthur retracted his hand while withdrawing his immense mana, absorbing it again. He unsheathed Skofnung, allowing the sword to enjoy a meal very low in nutrition, but still satisfying. "You're weak," said Arthur, approaching Kai, who was still in agony. A pool of blood surrounded his body. Several splotches of burnt flesh were visible, while a faint craziness flashed across his eyes. His…-

Arthur and Kai reached the center of the ninth floor, approaching the floor tower before teleporting to the First Floor's Residential Area. It was a swift teleportation, and when they opened their eyes, the scenery had changed. "So this is the first floor of…?" "Heaven's Spire," replied Arthur. "The Heaven's Spire is a skyscraper, or a tower that's established in the center of the universe. It's runs through the bottom of the universe to the top, from Hell to Heaven." "Hell? Heaven?" "Two…

"Now, hold the menu like this," Arthur displayed, clutching the laminated sheet of paper with both hands. "Look at the pictures and decide what you want. Then, tell the man in the black suit about your choice." Kai nodded, looking over the menu. When the waiter arrived, he pointed at the dish he wished to consume. "This is a red ball. It has a bumpy texture is covered in yellow strings that intertwine…" The waiter stared at the child as if he were crazy, while Arthur laughed muffled. 'I shouldn't…

A short silence descended upon VIP room #379. Randy cocked his head, his expression laced with uncertainty. "Is that truly the only reason?" Randy asked, raising both eyebrows while lowering his head and stifling laughter. 100,000 Tokens was not a small amount, and the only reason Randy was so bold while bidding was due to his clan's backing. He was truly valued within his clan. However, Arthur Solace–as far as Randy was aware–had not been recruited as of yet. With not a shred of backing, how…

The crowd turned silent yet again, and so did Vivi. The mysterious bidder did not retort and simply remained silent at Arthur's shout. The faint, undecipherable sounds of indignation were somewhat audible. It took Vivi a few seconds to regain her composure, after which she displayed the brightest smile she could muster. One could practically sense the overflowing excitement oozing from her body as she suppressed a scream. She was trembling in joy. "Kai, sold to the gentleman in VIP room #379 for…

A few more slaves were sold in the span of a few hours. However, Arthur had not a bit of interest in any of them. He was here for a purpose which hadn't been fulfilled yet. But it didn't take long before it arrived. "Now, for our twenty-fourth display, we have Kai!" Vivi's cheerful voice struck the ears of the customers. However, unlike before, no one displayed any excitement. It was certainly not the first time Kai had been showcased on the stage of the auction. Regular customers were aware, and…

"550!" "551!" "570!" "600!" "1000!" Many seemed to hesitate as soon as someone yelled a number in the quadruple digits. The man on stage definitely seemed powerful, but his injuries were something the customers could not ignore. Not only was one of his eyes missing, but there were also several unclosed wounds and infections that lined his body. "This is Jacque Cutler. A former clan member named Veuzen, Jacque was one of its strongest warriors. He is a veteran who participated in…

As the two entered the flat, the scenery changed before their eyes. The crude interior of the residence vanished, and a closet door slowly opened, revealing a secret pathway that was connected to a dark stairway. Arthur glanced at Ijskoud, who reciprocated. The two carefully navigated through the dim surroundings, walking down the stairway carefully. Eventually, they arrived before a tiny opening that led them to a vast world of light. As their eyes adjusted to the brightness of the room, Arthur and…

The ninth floor was not as joyous and wholesome as one expected. Arthur recalled his words to Aryan, in which he mentioned that opposites existed for everything. Life caused Death, while Creation was a catalyst for Destruction. Duality was the most prominent feature of the universe. The ninth floor also had an opposite to its external appearance; a dark side. Slave Trading was the most prominent attraction of the ninth floor, but was meticulously masked by those who conducted it. Slaves were…

As the rays of dawn fell upon Ferhill's shop, two cloaked figures stood before the destroyed structure. Fear was evident in one Ferhill's eyes as he gazed at his shop… he hadn't even realized the potential consequences. He glanced at Arthur, feeling a sense of gratitude. The crimson-eyed man seemed indifferent, but breathed a sigh of relief, having predicted such an outcome before it even occurred to prevent losses. Besides the few thousand tokens it had cost to build the shop, they had lost…
