Chapter 302: The Unfortunate Pirate

Today was another normal day for Jake, he was a simple space pirate that had decided to stay in the big city of the Amphibi Planet due to the opportunities it offered, coupled with the shelter it brought against the Heralds of Light.

It was thanks to the Duke of this planet, a powerful Vampire belonging to the prestigious Sanguine Family of Vampires, that the Heralds of Light didn't got closer, the Vampire Family was, after all, served by the Supreme Deity of Brightness, the supreme ruler of this star system, and although her heralds of light abdicated evil in the star system, their boss decided what was evil or not depending in what she wanted.

After all, there was no true good and evil, even the System that said which person was of another faction was merely based in the total number of members within the system that would see a certain individual as good or evil.

There could be people of the Lawful Good Faction that had done more atrocities than Chaos would ever do, but they would always be considered the best people there is in the entire Universe

It was all based in public opinion.

The Vampires were served by the Supreme Deity of Brightness, and in fact, the entire star system was owned by this family by a large percentage, as if this were stocks from Earth, large families across the Universe were able to buy actions from planets and star systems, and own parts of an entire star system, this way the owners, such as the Supreme Deity of Brightness, gained their protection and support.

She had already sold half of her planets to them and the Dragon Family, so she was being protected by the two, but she also had to serve them rather well, this is why her Heralds of Light obeyed her and whatever she said, if she said that they shouldn't mess with the young Vampire Duke in the planet of Amphibi, they better not do it!

Because of this, the Space Pirates had a field day here, things such as slavery, crimes, black market, and so on blossomed in this planet, the same way they did in the abandoned Ginnungagap Planet.

And in fact, slavery, the black market of drugs and all sorts of illegal goods, and more was as big part of the profits of this planet, as there were clear taxes the space pirates always had to pay when they came here and went away.

Due to these taxes, some decided to simply stay in the planet and make it their home, one of such people was Jake, who had just come out of his job selling slaves. Recently the market had gotten worse, the price of Galactic Credits changed, and things had become more expensive while slaves became cheaper and less required.

Indeed, there was an oversaturation of slaves in the market to the point they were not being sold as much as before, although some people is also blaming it to the Mindflayers, who loved to buy slaves as food, but that had stopped to buy in such large amounts ever since several unknown incidents.

"I barely made some penny by selling those damn kids And that perverted old man that bought them barely seemed to budge, he really made me lower the price to more than 50%, I am going desperate for money" he sighed.

He had just sold a dozen of Saphibian children to a famous brothel owner, who bought all sorts of slaves, males, and females to work as sexual workers, of course, for free, as they were slaves, they were not even paid.

Recently Saphibians were the most in slaves here, and because there were so many and people weren't buying them anymore as they wanted humans, elves, and other races, they oversaturated the market and became incredibly cheap.

However, Saphibian children were rather rare, especially children as beautiful as the one Jake had caught, so he still made some pretty penny out of it, although imagining the horrendous future that awaited them was not his problem, the man was completely devoid of any empathy whatsoever

In fact, he hoped they did their work well enough to make sure the money he got from them was worth it, he didn't wanted that old man to come back to him telling him the children were defective or something

"Ugh, I am going to go grab a beer- Hm?"

Suddenly, Jake stumbled into something invisible, which he couldn't see properly.

"What the?"

"You're good enough"

"Agh!"

He was suddenly grabbed, and his mouth was covered in an invisible cloth of magic, alongside his entire body.

He was quickly dragged outside of the city, as Natalia brought her prey to her friends.

"Good, now enter for now." Said Erebus, as he opened a portal to his dungeon and everyone entered, including himself, disappearing out of thin air.

When Jake woke up, he found himself tied up by shadow threads, sitting over a chair, and inside a tight dungeon room covered by candles everywhere.

He was incredibly scared, of course, and didn't knew what the heck was going on now.

"W-What is this? Where am I?!" he asked in shock and fear.

Several figures greeted his sight, from all shapes and sizes, there was even floating and walking skull mixed into the group!

A beautiful woman with long red hair spoke to her, sharply glaring down on him.

"You're going to spit everything you know if you don't want to die." She said.

"W-What? I am not even a bigshot! What will I ever know about?!" he asked.

"Anything will do, you just walked off out of a slave auction, right? You must be a bigshot if you sold so many slaves, right?" asked Natalia.

"Y-You got it wrong! A-Also, are you a Vampire?!" he asked.

"Yes." Said Natalia.

"T-Then you belong to the prestigious family? Y-You should know I serve the Duke, from your family!" said Jake.

"Ah Hmmm Yes, I know, and this is why I require you to talk truthfully, good man, I will free you and even compensate you in ways you'll ever imagine if you do but for safety measures, you must be tied down." Said Natalia.

Natalia quickly came out with some random bullshit that not even herself believed!
