Record #1: From a Prisoner...

Year 4667 of the Unified Imperial Calendar:

Fourth Month, Day 6. (6:28 PM)

◇ ??? POV ◇

Feeling the hard ground beneath my body, I suddenly felt the cold, as my entire body shivered. Did I fall off from my bed? If that's the case, I'm glad it was painless. I hate pain, after all.

"Hey." A feminine voice called out to me.

If anyone was in the same position as me, what would you do? Isn't it a given? Ignore it of course. I mean, the voice obviously belongs to a girl, and sounded fairly young. Hell no! Past dream experiences reminds me that when a girl calls out in your dream, it would lead into something awesome. But sorry girl, I'm damn tired for some reason. I don't wanna move, so disappear already.

"Disappear? What nonsense are you blabbering?"

Holy shit! When did girls in dreams learn how to read thoughts?! At the very least, this experience is novel! I see. It's something new. Looks like I have to work hard this time.

"At what exactly?" The voice spoke again, but this time, I suddenly felt a hellish pain coming from my crotch.

"Ooow!!! The heck!!" I screamed in pain as I held my family jewels.

"Finally awake?"

I turned towards the source of the voice—while still holding my balls—and saw a damn pretty girl with wavy dark blue hair and eyes. Her gaze was cold and her body was, well, smoking hot. However...

"Who the hell kicks a guy in the balls when doing SM play?! And why am I the M?!" I complained.

Her brows frowned as she crossed her arms. "SM play?...Interesting." she then smiled. "As expected, you might have useful information after all."

"Huh?" wait a second...something's not right.

"It's too late to play dumb anymore. You might have fooled me before, but the slip-up just now was enough." She said with a smile. An 'S' kind of smile.

As I thought hard, something clicked within my head as my memories suddenly returned. I remembered how I got here, and recalled how I was captured.

Yes, I was captured. But that wasn't the point. The point was...

"I got isekai'd?! Did truck-kun learn to snipe?!" I screamed as I crouched, holding my head.

My words seemed to have taken her curiosity as she put a hand beneath her chin as she took a pondering expression.

"Isekai...truck-kun...another unfamiliar term..." she muttered.

She smiled (Damn, that was beautiful.) and then spoke: "Now then, will you talk? Or will you talk?"

"There isn't a choice at all!!"

"Precisely," she replied. "So I suggest you give up any thoughts of resistance." She added, still smiling.

She pulled a chair from nearby and sat in a smooth manner, in which I couldn't pull my eyes away. Is this elegance? Or is it the stick in her hand that—if I remember—the one that fried me inside out?

I personally think it's both...

"So? Will you obediently cooperate?" she offered. "I promise to reward you for you contributions."

I gulped. Wondering what reward was that. So I asked. "And what reward is it?"

She smiled a sweet smile. "Anything I can give."

OHOHOHO!! Now that's what I'm talking about! Dat' damn fat ass, those melons...

Ahem!... We need finances. That's right. Finances.

After all, I'm still not sure about my cheat, golden finger, isekai privilege, or whatever you call it. And such, I need money. After all, one needed money to live.

So I puffed out my chest—while still holding on to my balls— and told her. "Then ask."

"The enemy from before. Who is it, and why did it invade Tindallrose territory?" she asked with anticipation in her eyes.

"Huh?" I was stupefied.

W-Wait...could it be?

"Y-You're not thinking I'm friends with whoever you're talking about, right?" I asked with a shaking voice.

"Impossible." She denied. My hopes was raised, but was then shattered as she added. "You would only be a slave at best."

Ow. That damn hurts. If I remember, slaves don't have human rights, do they?

However, I am now seriously regretting that I'm even cooperating with her. Was it because my balls still hurts? Or is it phantom pain? And can I even refuse? No. I don't think so.

But how about we try?...

"Umm...then, I might not have any intel, after all." I spoke.

Her eyes narrowed at my words, and she coldly stated. "Silence, liar. You mentioned the word 'intel'. That is a jargon only used in military." She looked down on me as her blue eyes glowed. "It's useless to play dumb."

I see. I magnificently dug my grave just because I wanted to show off. You're great, me. You're absolutely awesome.

It looks like I can only be desperate.

I looked at her with fake fear. "But I really don't know anything!" I shouted as I made my voice quiver. "Find someone else!"

Her face became colder as she now glared at me. "Now you are faking expressions...Not bad," she said sarcastically. "but amateurish."

Damn! She can even see through lies?! Isn't her utility way too high?!

Ah. No good. It's over now...wait, I still have another card... I've only seen someone else do it (in anime), but it might actually work!

Alright! It's decided! Let's do this, folks!

I inhaled deeply—as I finally let go of my family jewels—and sat up. The girl seemed wary, but didn't do anything. Without pause, I then slammed my head onto the ground, and yelled.

"I'M REALLY SORRY!! I PROMISE NOT TO LIE AGAIN, SO PLEASE JUST SPARE MY LIFE!! I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU ASK, SO PLEASE LET ME LIVE UNTIL I DISCOVER MY GOLDEN FINGER!!"

I shouted loudly, that even the girl flinched. I didn't know how much prostration would work in here, or what effects it did, but a I read from a certain dropped novel that it once even worked on a goddess.

Anyway...as my head was lowered, I couldn't see her expression. But she was silent for a while.

"You." She called out. "Have you resolved yourself?"

I see! So it really works! Hahahaha!...Ahem!...not good. I have to suppress this grin. Or else it'll leak.

"Yes." I answered with a shaking voice. It was from my supressed joy, but maybe she'll misunderstand.

Bwahahaha!! One of the ways from 'How to kill yourself 101'. Overthinking!!

Okay. I don't know if such book exists...But hey! Overthinking is lethal.

The girl went silent for a bit. After a while, she sighed. "I see." She muttered. "Then, stay in that pose for a while." She then instructed.

"Can I ask why?"

"I need to get something." She then stood. "But I'll be back." She moved to the door and spoke before leaving.

"Do not attempt to escape. Unless you're seeking death."

Now that was smooth. 'seeking death'. What a wuxia-like choice of words. How nostalgic.

Well, its not like I have something else to do, so I just stayed in the same position.

(15 minutes later)...

Umm...Is she back yet? I'm kinda...tired here. Can I move just yet? Can I? I'm itching to move already...

Also, I need to pee! For god's sake! How long will she take?!

(30 minutes later)...

Ah. I've done it...

Managed to hold it back in time, but the wet stain is glaring back at me. Goodbye, dignity...

Also, girl whose name I still don't know, please come back already...

(1 hour later)...

Ah...Please don't look at me.

I'm just a dog who pees its pants. No need to concern yourself with me. Also, does anybody know how to remind me to move? I can't move my body. It's numb.

(another 15 minutes later)...

As I was wallowing in self loathing, the door finally opened. The girl was there, and she was looking at me in pity. I could feel it even if I don't look. Ah. My life is over...

She approached me, and then spoke. "Ahem...How should I say this..." her voice was pretty low as she tried to express herself but, she seemed embarrassed?

"Actually...I accidently slept so..."

Screw you, woman!! How could you sleep with me being like this! Was it comfy, huh?!

She then stopped in front of me. "In any case, I have seen your resolve. Proven by your...err...current situation..."

"...just kill me..." I muttered. Of course. I didn't let her hear.

"...that's why, I shall accept your offer and take you as a war slave." She finished as she suddenly put something on my neck. It circled around it, and the next moment, it became a collar. A slave collar.

Ah...Who the heck invented the 'prostration'? I wanna kill him already. And who said it worked on goddesses?..

"So, tell me your name now." She ordered.

With a blank tone, I answered.

"Astra."

"I see. Then, Astra. I am Reyshia, your master from now on." She introduced herself.

And so, this was how my legend began. (PS. My real name is Mike.)
