My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

“The rumors state that Lady Death engaged in a battle against King Roth just outside the rabbitkin tribe’s capital. He defeated her with his mighty sword and then resurrected all of the souls he had freed. I know it’s crap.” Pait grumbled as he led me through the hallways. “That old man can barely lift a sword from what I hear. Plus, there is the only person I know with that kind of resurrection magic. Can you enlighten me on what happened?”

It was a bit surreal talking to Pait. Was this what it was like for normal people who couldn’t just casually open portals wherever they wanted to go? They were only just getting the news for what I would have considered long past. I had to remind myself that for a normal person, the last two weeks I had spent recuperating, recovering Shao, and then lazing around the mansion would have been the same time it took for me to have returned here on foot normally. Pait likely suspected my mobility was better than I let on, but I was curious how much Lord Duran knew.

“There’s not much to tell.” I shrugged. “The King of Dioshin set up illegal experimentation to try to extend his life by experimenting on many-tailed foxkin. He became interested in Miki, my 9-tailed fox, and using deception lured her into the country. She ended up absorbing a dungeon and then being taken over and influenced by a mad scientist as Lady Death, who proceeded to try to wipe out the country and become an immortal god-king.”

“Oh, I see… wait! That’s quite a lot to tell!” Pait shot me a look of disbelief. “Aren’t you being a bit too casual about it? What happened to Lady Death?”

“The dungeon was destroyed and Miki was returned to me.” I shrugged. “Besides, I resurrected everyone who died, so there is no point in getting so worked up about it.”

“Aii… I should have known after you enslaved a demon lord that you wouldn’t hesitate to enslave a figure like Lady Death. You like to live life dangerously.” He wiped his head while shaking it back and forth.

“Technically, she was my slave before she was Lady Death,” I responded. “Besides, she wasn’t in control of herself. It was a curse. It’s over and done with. Given the king’s claims, do you think Lord Duran will follow through with his agreement?”

“He’s not some ratkin. He won’t betray you.” Pait declared, and when I raised an eyebrow, he blushed. “S-sorry, after staying here I’ve started to pick up a few of their attitudes and comments.”

“Well, it’s not like you’ll offend me.”

“Lord Duran is smart enough to know that King Roth is full of hot air, and even if you had no involvement with the defeat of Lady Death, he would still fulfill his end of the bargain. What you asked for wasn’t so unreasonable.” As he said that, he stopped in front of the doors leading into the throne room.

He whispered some words to a guard, who nodded and then entered the room. They didn’t have to wait long before they were allowed in. It was time to collect my prize.
