nThe most notable feature of the Arcane continent is its magical energy, which permeates the very air and earth.
nIt is said that the ley lines of magic converge there, making the continent a hub of mystical power.
nThe magicians who live here are able to tap into this energy, using it to cast spells and perform feats beyond the capabilities of ordinary mages and mortals.
nThe cities and towns of the Arcane continent are bustling centers of magical learning and discovery.
nThe great libraries and academies of the magicians are located here, as well as powerful guilds and orders dedicated to the study and practice of magic.
nThe streets are lined with shops selling magical artifacts and ingredients, and the air is alive with the hum of spells being cast.𝑜𝑽xt.𝗈𝑚
nOutside the cities, the continent is a wild and dangerous place, inhabited by all manner of magical creatures and strange phenomena.
nDragons-like creatures soar through the skies, while giants and other monsters roam the hills and forests.
nThere are also many hidden places of power, where the ley lines of magic converge to create pockets of dimension filled with magical energy.
nDespite the dangers, the Arcane continent is a place of great wisdom and enlightenment.
nThe magicians who dwell here are renowned for their knowledge and wisdom and are respected throughout the world for their mastery of the arcane arts.
nFor those who seek to understand the mysteries of magic and the secrets of the universe, there is no better place than the Arcane continent.
nOn the other hand, the continent he was in was called the cursed continent or the battlefield of gods.
nThe Cursed Continent is a desolate land that bears the scars of a cataclysmic battle between powerful deities.
nOnce a thriving and prosperous realm, it has been almost stripped of its magical energy.
nThe once-lush forests and vibrant meadows have withered and turned into gnarled wastelands.
nThe rivers and lakes, once teeming with life and magical energy, have become stagnant and lifeless.
nThe absence of magical energy has taken its toll on the inhabitants of the Continent.
nThe inhabitant generation was often untalented and devoid of any aptitude for magic.
nIt is said that any attempts to channel or collect faith within the Cursed Continent are met with failure.
nMaking it a land of godless where almost no one believes in god.
nTravelers who come to the Cursed Continent from other lands do so with a singular purpose: to seek out any remnants of the divine power that once flowed freely through the land.
nDespite the harsh conditions, the allure of the Cursed Continent’s history and the potential treasures that lie buried beneath its magicless land draw adventurers from all corners of the world.
nMany believe that artifacts and relics of the ancient gods still remain hidden within the ruins and craters, waiting to be discovered by those with the courage to seek them out.

nA week later Maximus’ carriage entered the Imperial City.
nThe city was bustling with people and carriages, and the buildings were adorned with intricate carvings and colorful banners.
nThe streets were wide and clean, with well-dressed men and women walking leisurely.
nThe sound of musicians and performers filled the air, adding to the festive atmosphere.
nMaximus leaned out of his carriage window, taking in the sights and sounds of the city.
nHe could see the imposing castle of the King in the distance, and the grand marketplace where vendors were selling all sorts of goods.
nMaximus arrived at the luxurious accommodation reserved for the people invited by the King.
nHe was greeted by a butler as he stepped into the grand lobby.
nInside was a grand foyer with marble floors and ornate chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
nThe butler led him to his suite with a warm smile and handed him a key.
nThe bed in his room was draped in silk sheets, and there was even a Jacuzzi in the corner of the room.
nAfter arranging accommodations for the guards and finding out the event was scheduled for two days later.
nHe strolled down the streets of the Imperial City, admiring the architecture of the buildings and the bustling crowds of people.
nAs he headed towards the market district, where most of the shops in the capital were located, he walked into the Slave shop, it tends to be located in more affluent areas, which is why they are not found in his territory.
nMany people perceived his territory to be too impoverished to afford such services.
nThe shop was filled with people of all ages, some with sad expressions on their faces while others seemed to be resigned to their fate.
nHe approached the counter and a well-dressed salesperson greeted him with a smile. “Welcome, sir. How may I assist you?”
n“I’m just looking,” Maximus said, trying to keep his tone neutral.
n“Then let me do an introduction, sir. We have a wide variety available, from housekeeping to personal assistants to gardeners. We even have tutors and nannies for children.”
nMaximus nodded, scanning the rows of people standing on display.
nHe couldn’t help but feel a little discomfort at the thought of owning someone, but he knew that in this world, it was common practice.
nHis eyes were drawn to a pair of women whose looks were the same.
nDespite their slightly unkempt appearance and ugly scar on their face, their body was a sight to behold, exuding grace with their long hair flowing.
nTheir eyes seemed to sparkle with an inner light, drawing him in.
n“Who are they?” He felt curious about them and turned to the salesperson, asking about their identity.
n“They were caught assassinating a great noble and were sentenced to a lifetime enslavement,” the salesperson replied.
nMaximus’s curiosity was piqued, and he gestured for the shopkeeper to bring them over. The shopkeeper nodded and called the twins to approach Maximus.
nAs the twins walked towards him, Maximus couldn’t help but feel awed by their striking beauty.
nTheir features were delicate, yet fierce, and their movements were fluid, almost like a dance.
nHe could tell that they came from a proud and affluent background, which had sadly fallen from grace.
nName: Luna Silvermane
nStrength: Tier 1 – Official Knight
nPotential: Rank 2 – Uncomon
nFit: 75(94)
nName: Livia Silvermane
nStrength: Tier 1 – Official Knight
nPotential: Rank 2 – Uncomon
nFit: 75(94)
nAfter carefully observing their status panel for a while, he determined that both of them used to have an impressive fit value of 94.
nHe also noticed that both of them possessed the strength of Official Knight.
nFor the ugly scars, he can take care of that easily.
nRestoration Salve: This salve is used to restore damaged skin tissue and promote healthy skin growth. It can be used on scars, burns, and other skin injuries. Price 100
nPleased with his choice, Maximus turned to the shopkeeper and inquired about the cost of hiring the twin beast girls.
n“Excuse me, how much would it be for the two of them?” he asked.
nThe shopkeeper carefully examined the two before responding, “For the pair of them, the cost would be 1,000 gold coins. I understand it may seem costly, but they come from a noble background and despite their appearance, had the strength of an official knight. Moreover, I can guarantee that they are worth every penny.”
nMaximus hesitated for a moment, considering the cost. But he was drawn to the beauty of the two. “Very well, I’ll take them,”
nDespite the high cost, Maximus was satisfied with his decision to purchase the twin girls.
nHe knew that the gold points generated by them being his wives would cover the cost in just a few months.
nThe number of gold points generated depended on the strength of the individual, with tier 0 generating 1 gold point, tier 1 generating 10 gold points, tier 2 generating 100 gold points, and so on.
nHe had already spent a thousand gold coins on this trip, and while he wanted to hire more slaves, his budget did not allow for it.
nHe planned to visit again in the future when he had more funds available.
nThe shopkeeper smiled and began to fill out the necessary paperwork. As Maximus waited, the two girls approached him, looking shy and nervous.
n“Hello,” he said gently, trying to put them at ease. “I’m Maximus. I’ll be your new master.”
