WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE OTHER TRANSMIGRATORS IN MY HAREM FANTASY?

I stuck myself to the wall, thanking whoever it was that designed this place since they skimped on lighting and only placed lights at very far intervals leaving areas of darkness I could hide in.

Why did I need that? Because there were still monsters being summoned and coming up from the darkness below so I had to hide myself every few minutes.

Seriously though, how deep does this stupid slope go?

Right as I thought about that, I could see the bottom as there was light shining at the bottom of the ramp.

I crept closer to the light and just as I was about to reach it, I heard the sound of someone cursing before the light intensified for a brief moment.

I hid myself in the darkness again right as the sound of the same lizard creature stomped its way to the slope and started walking up towards the entrance.

I wonder just how many of these beasts have been created and why is this guy only creating these beasts in particular? Do they just need a lot of mounts or something?

I waited until the beast went past me before I crept towards the entrance to the next room.

When I peered inside, I found a cloaked figure leaning against the table with their back facing me in the centre of the room. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire

The room itself looked to be the living quarters of this person since I saw a bed, a simple kitchen and dining area, a bath and what looked like a… Pillory?

Why the hell is there a pillory down here? That seems entirely out of place…

I turned my attention back to the cloaked figure just in time to see them pick up a potion bottle and tossing their head back to drink its contents.

I realised they were drinking a mana potion as they slammed the empty potion down with a loud thunk, the bottle somehow not shattering despite the rough treatment.

“Fucking, fuck! Fuck!!” The guy cursed, picking up another bottle of mana potion from the crate beside his table which I assumed was filled to the brim with the same potion.

They tossed their head back once again to empty the bottle before placing it beside the first one.

Once the figure was done drinking the potion, they turned around to point their palm at the entrance, causing a familiar light shard to appear in front of them.

That was when I realised that they were not wearing a mask and their face was fully revealed to me.

Wait… Why does this guy look familiar? It feels like I’ve seen him somewhere before…

I focused on him and activated [Screened].

Bob Brown… Bob Brown… Where the hell have I seen that name before? It definitely feels familiar somehow…

Wait… Self-proclaimed King… It really feels like I have.. Oh wait!! I remember now!!

There was that Off-Worlder who tried to set up their own Kingdom within the Lehcarouc Kingdom back then!! Oh wow, how long ago was that?!

And wait… Didn’t we capture this guy and hand him over to the Guild? Last I remember, he was locked up or something for attempting to overthrow the King.

So what the hell is he doing here? Did he escape and create his own bandit group?

I watched as the light shard turned into another of those bipedal lizards, the beast turning to look at the Off-Worlder quizzically before it started walking up the slope again.

Once the beast was out of sight, the Off-Worlder turned back to the table and made a mark against a notepad that was on the table as well.

I decided this was the right time to make myself known and stepped out into the hall, deliberately letting my presence known with my footstep while also taking off my mask.

The Off-Worlder froze and immediately turned around with a fearful look on his face.

But when he saw it was me, he quickly relaxed before tensing up again.

“You!” He shouted, pointing a finger at me.

“Yes, me,” I answered back.

“You were the one who got me into this mess!!”

I tilted my head at him, “Got you into this mess? What are you even talking about? Last I remember, you were supposed to be locked up.”

He pulled back slightly, a look of surprise appearing on his face, “Wait… You don’t know?”

“Know what?”

“What happened afterwards?”

I shook my head, “No? What happened?”

He reached up and pulled down the collar of his cloak to show his neck, revealing a slave collar that was wrapped around his neck.

“I was made a criminal slave! Don’t you know that?!”

“Err… Well… That’s normal?” I remarked, since I was already aware that this was the norm here. “I’m more curious about how you are able to escape and come here.”

His eyes widened at me, “Escape?! I did not escape! I’m still trapped here! See?!”

He then lifted up the bottom of his cloak to reveal his ankles, showing that there was a manacle on his ankle connected to a thick chain that I didn’t notice before. The chain was attached to a steel ring that was bolted to the ground underneath the table, preventing him from even moving far from the table.

I looked back at the Off-Worlder with a frown, “What is going on? I don’t understand?”

“I should be the one wondering that! This supposed noble came along and bought me or something and I got stuck summoning monsters for him!! Day in and day out, that’s all he made me do! And there’s no such thing as rest either since he would force me to drink mana potions just to hit a quota of summons everyday! This is worse than even my old life before I came here! I was told that I would at least have some rights! This is just torture!”

“Err… First of all, you’re a criminal slave? So it’s normal that you’re not being treated well? Second of all… Hold on… Are you saying that you’re not the leader?”

“Leader? Leader of what? This company?! Of course not!”

“Company? No, no, I meant this bandit group. You know? The group that’s upstairs?”

“Bandit group?! Isn’t this some kind of trading company? I’ve been creating those lizard beasts to travel through the desert, haven’t I?!”

Ah… I think I kind of know what’s happening here now…

I winced, “Ugh… I have bad news for you I’m afraid… This is a bandit group and they’ve been using the beasts you summoned to raid and pillage…”

“That… That can’t be… I was told this was a company! I even joined them on the first expedition where they made me summon monsters to deal with a group of bandits!”

“I believe they were using you to establish dominance with the other bandits to make them join up with them…”

He stared at me for a good few seconds, as though he was trying to understand what I just told him.

“Wait… Then… What about that noble? I still see him from time to time you know? Does that mean he’s a bandit too?!”

“I’m not too sure about him being a bandit…” I admitted, taking a moment to piece together what might be happening here, “But I believe that they were in cahoots from the start…”

“Then… Does that mean I was tricked?”

I shrugged, “I’m not sure what kind of arrangement you made but you are certainly working for the bandits at least. And aren’t you a criminal slave anyway? How were you tricked?”

He slammed his fist on the table, “I got to pick my sentence! Work as a criminal slave for the city for twenty years for my so called ‘attempted coup’ or let this noble buy me and work for him for only ten years where he will only put me to work in the public service sector! If I did well, they might even half the time! But if I’m working for bandits, I won’t have my sentence reduced and I might even be implicated in this and get an even worse sentence instead!!”

Oh… I mean… I don’t know how the criminal slave system works but I’m surprised that they even let them pick the sentence. I thought they would just put them to work or something without giving them a choice.

After all, they are criminals right? And this was supposed to be punishment.

He suddenly lunged towards me and I almost kicked him away until I realised he was doing that to fall into a dogeza position, his head pressed firmly against the ground towards me.

“Please!! Please help me!! I really didn’t want to do this! I’m really sorry for what I did before! I didn’t know about the common sense of this world but please! Help me!!”

Oh wow, that’s a really quick change in attitude… Now I feel a little bad for him…
