“Slave Equipment Acquired: [John’s Spine (Quality)]
*Slave Equipment is a special trait equipment in the Prometheus world, which is unaffected by the seals in the City of Gods and can be used normally once obtained.
[Type]: Living Armor
[Quality]: Quality
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
[Equipment Effect]:
‘Exoskeleton’ – When the wearer dons the spine, it adapts to the individual and forms an exoskeletal protective layer. This protective layer can cover the whole body or amplify specific parts alone.
It can improve the defense power, regeneration, and slightly enhance mobility of the areas covered by the spine.
Source: John was a misfortunate slave born with severe hyperplasia of the bone. His spine was completely exposed at birth, which nearly restricted all his basic activities.
Having his spine taken out was perhaps a kind of relief for him.”
As he extracted the spine, Han Dong received a fate prompt exclusive to the region of the City of Gods.
Since it was a live equipment acknowledged by the System, Han Dong was completely reassured.
Allowing the spine, which writhed like a live worm, to crawl over his body, it soon reached Han Dong’s back and formed a connection along the center line of his back as an ‘external spinal connection.’
A bunch of thick, black nerves connected to Han Dong’s own spine and the back of his head, completing the neural linkage.
Now, with just a thought, Han Dong could make [John’s Spine (Quality)] sprout an exoskeleton that covered his entire body or specifically amplified his zombie arm.
It had to be said, under the circumstances of restricted abilities and sealed Fate Equipment,
such living equipment was indeed very useful, significantly enhancing Han Dong’s combat capabilities.
…
In the Coliseum.
Because of Han Dong’s planning and proactive performance, more than half of the lower-level slaves, who should have all died, survived.
In their eyes shone admiration and gratitude.
Even Lord Maritzis showed a surprised look; she hadn’t expected Han Dong to adapt and effectively use such a weak body in such a short time.
Lord Maritzis had also been anxious when the bizarrely-shaped mouth had shot out its tongue-like pillar.
Similarly, due to Han Dong’s active performance, the audience, who had originally come just for entertainment and gambling, became interested, and they began to inquire about Han Dong’s price.
Even a spectator dressed in gold garments, apparently of certain status, specifically asked to purchase Han Dong by name and surname.
However…
“I’m sorry, but we will not be selling this slave with the special ‘Priest’ trait… If anyone is interested in other slaves, you are welcome to visit our slave sales department to make a purchase.”
The warden denied Han Dong’s sale in front of all the audience.
The surviving slaves were taken by the warden to a special area.
Apart from Han Dong, the other slaves would be sent to the trading market.
For surviving in the Colosseum and assisting in killing [The Beast], the lower-level slaves were granted the right to be sold.
Even being bought by a comparatively common slavemaster would be a hundred times more comfortable than staying here… On the way to the trading market, the group kept thanking Han Dong.
“Can you leave her with me? She is useful to me.”
Han Dong, in front of the warden, pointed to Maritzis, whose face was covered with numerous pustules… He was also very particular in his choice of words, using the term “useful,” which suggested a benefit-focused vocabulary.
The warden stared at the female slave, whose face was nearly disfigured and who hadn’t shown any noticeable performance in the competition, doubting she could easily find a buyer even if sent to the trade market.
So, he nodded and agreed to Han Dong’s plea.
“According to the rules, you will become an ‘intermediate-level slave’ and enjoy certain freedoms… You are free to move in the public areas of the City of Gods and engage in basic work to earn currency.
You may also list yourself in the slave trade market, waiting for a master to purchase you.”
At this point, Han Dong was quite surprised; this was the first time he had heard of such a bizarre slavery system.
“Isn’t this akin to the status of a common citizen? Are common citizens in the City of Gods still considered slaves? Then what status must the slave masters possess to achieve that?
How interesting… A city so heavily slave-oriented can actually function normally.
It must be directly related to the ‘Dark Water,’ I suppose.”
Just as Han Dong was preparing to explore the City of Gods with Maritzis using his new ‘intermediate-level slave’ status, the warden suddenly offered a condition:
“As one of the managers of the [Colosseum], I’d like to hire you in the capacity of a ‘hirer.’
We will pay a fixed hiring fee regularly, and you will also normally enjoy the freedoms of an intermediate-level slave without being subjected to overly strict constraints.”
“May I ask what my main duties will be”
“Training… Your ‘Priest Potential’ is worth cultivating for us.
Additionally, you will help manage the [beasts] or assist in completing some tasks that only ‘Priests’ are capable of.”
Han Dong could tell that the warden highly valued him, hence the favorable conditions offered.
Having the Colosseum as a backer would also allow Han Dong to infiltrate the entire City of Gods more easily and achieve complete victory in this Fate event.
“I have a few questions, may I clarify them in advance?”
“Go ahead,” the warden seemed to have a very good impression of Han Dong and appeared to be patient.
“It’s my first time in the City of Gods, and I’m not familiar with the specifics of the slavery system, nor what you mean by ‘Priest.’ Could you explain them to me upfront?”
“The slavery system is fundamental to the City of Gods, to be precise there are no slave masters here, everyone is a slave… The specifics of the slavery system will be understood once you join us.
As for ‘Priests,’ these are humans who can extract Dark Water Energy for use in powering magic.
There are quite a few such people in the City of Gods with a similar ‘Priest constitution’… but there is still a clear difference in quality, and if one can only perform some common magic, the [Colosseum] is not interested.
The magic you’ve showcased seems to be related to the ‘Death God – Anubis,’ which is worth cultivating for us.”
Han Dong didn’t expect the other party to lay out his “value” from the get-go, making it seem like a decent company.
“One last question, after being employed by you, can I bring her with me?”
“‘Intermediate-level slaves’ have the right to purchase ‘lower-level slaves,’ and since she has just survived a beast fight, the price would be a bit higher.
About the equivalent of one month of your hiring fee.
Furthermore, we will pay you three months’ fees in one lump sum.”
“Deal!”
Han Dong then followed through with a series of signatures and seals, becoming a special employee of the [Colosseum].
As for the infamous Lord Maritzis, a Return Ancestor Demon from the original world, she naturally became Han Dong’s ‘slave.’
