In the slave apartment of the Otherworld.

George was sleeping on a shabby wooden bed when he was suddenly awoken. He sat up and looked around.

“Where is this?!”

George was a little confused. He was originally just a noob in real life, but after a night of sleep, something changed. Although his appearance didn’t change much compared to the previous world, he could not accept this situation.

“What happened to my home? It’s broken!”

After looking around at the house, other than an old wooden bed and a wooden table, there was no other furniture except some papers and posters in the house.

On the poster, there was a mock-up of the entire world with “Otherworld!” written on it. Looking at it, George lowered his head.

George stood up and picked up a piece of paper that had fallen to the ground that had been stepped on by him.

“There are new arrivals in the Slave Union’s market! Please look forward to it!” This was written on the paper.

In an instant, the memory of the owner of this body surged into George’s mind.

It turned out that this was a magical Otherworld where slavery exists. Moreover, it was one of the legal and prevalent systems in this world. At the beginning of the trend, slavery had already been widely promoted by the ruling class, nobles, and merchants here.

Now, the slavery system had become an inseparable part of the daily lives of many people in this world. The entire world, countries, and regions also had well-established slavery laws, many famous and reputable merchants also made money by training and selling slaves.

It was because of this system that slave trading was prevalent. Most countries in the world had built slave unions and auctioned slaves, so it was not uncommon.

George was also a slave merchant. However, living in such a broken house, he was undoubtedly a lowly slave merchant. He went around to collect low-level slaves and trained them himself before selling them for a good price.

In this world, there were many ways to obtain slaves. The most important and easiest way was to look for them in the slums.

In a world that had a hierarchy system with a huge gap between each class, poor families simply could not afford to have children. Instead of starving their children to death when they couldn’t raise them, it was better to sell them to slave merchants and let them raise their children.

Even though they would be traded as items, they could be guaranteed not to starve to death. If a slave was lucky enough to be sold to a noble family, they would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.

Other than that, war was happening in this world.

If two countries fought, the prisoners of war would become slaves.

If the entire country suffered a serious defeat, then the princess and queen of the defeated country would become part of the Slave Union’s auction as long as the victor was willing to deal with them.

Over the years, countless royal families became slaves just because they were defeated

However, not all slaves could be auctioned.

There was a good slavery system in place which divided slaves into six ranks because high-quality slaves were always the favorite of customers and merchants.

To better distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of slaves, they were divided according to their comprehensive ability.

They were: S, A, B, C, D, F.

According to the grades given by the Slave Union, the value of slaves would also increase.

So how did the Slave Union divide these slaves?

There were four categories for grading slaves: strength, loyalty, character, and charm.

The first one was strength.

The grade of slaves with special abilities would naturally be very high. A slave owner with powerful slaves would have more convenience on many occasions.

Then, an adventurer who usually travels between countries would have a bodyguard who would never betray them.

When faced with danger, the slaves would become the slave owner’s shield.

Moreover, in the main castle, there was a large slave arena. It used the fights between slaves as a competition year-round to bring in money.

Therefore, among the ranks, strength had the largest proportion.

The second type was loyalty.

A high-quality slave would obey the slave owner’s request and service without hesitation and complete it with the highest order.

Although in the Otherworld, they could also use domination magic. But a slave would instinctively obey the slave owner’s orders.

If the slave would still resist the master, then their rank would not be high.

The third type, character.

The slave’s character was very important.

Some slaves don’t look like much on the surface, but their character determines whether they will obey the master’s words or not. It also plays a big part in the way they work for their master.

The fourth type, charm.

A slave with the ability to charm will always have the favor of the slave owners and slave merchants.

Even if they didn’t have any abilities, they would still be highly sought after by slave owners and slave merchants.

Especially the young nobles who preferred to be served by beauties.

The above was the approximate grades of slaves. These four factors were only a general summary. There were many other factors related to the grades of slaves. The final grade would be given after going through the Slave Union’s professional test but non-professionals would not be able to understand anyway.

George fully understood his current situation. He was the worst among the slave merchants. Not only was he poor, even if he wanted to buy and sell slaves, but he also could not find a good one.

He either traded occasionally or he did not trade at all. What he traded could only afford his living expenses for three years.

The old George was also like this. He would just muddle through life and live as long as he could.

Now that he had entered a new world, it was natural for him to start a new life.

George continued to search for useful information on the ground. There was nothing else but some promotional leaflets.

He slipped his hand into his pocket and found that there were only five cards.

Those cards were, “Succubus Rank D, Jessica.”

“Beast-eared lady Rank D, Jenny.”

“Elf Rank C, Peter.”

“Elf Rank D, Ruby.”

“Elf Rank D, Tony.”

Looking at the five cards in his hand, there was general information of each slave being recorded on it.

“My God, this is only a Rank C, and it’s an elf.” George was feeling helpless but there was nothing he could do.

He thought to himself, “Let’s go and have a look first!”

The slaves under George were still locked up in the Slave Union because some slave merchants could not bring their slaves with them all the time. Therefore, most slave merchants would put their slaves in the Slave Union first and wait for the time when they needed the slaves. Then, they would use cards to take the slaves away and train them.
