THE RISE OF A SLAVE GIRL - Season 1 Episode 8

“Seriously?” I couldn’t stop my thoughts from being voiced out loud.

The big man made an awkward chuckle. “That is to say, you will receive a special reward.”

“Ah…” Well, say that stuff sooner!

I wasn’t really a greedy person, but I didn’t spend all day only a few dozen meters from a horde of zombies and cast spells until I nearly passed out for nothing!

The guy seemed to think my expression was funny, as he laughed again, slapping my back. “We’ll be tallying up the battle tonight, and the rewards will be distributed tomorrow during a town meeting. We need to discuss this attack and what to do next. Since you contributed greatly to this fight, please come.”

“Tomorrow, huh?”

I couldn’t help but make a bad face. After all, I just came to this world, and I was really penniless. I’d be spending a rough night on the street of an unfamiliar town in an unfamiliar world. The thought could hardly leave me satisfied.

“No place to stay, huh?” The guy said.

“A mind reader!” I cried out, shooting him a surprised look.

“No, it’s just that I had you looked into, and according to my sources you just arrived today and haven’t booked a spot at the inn.”

I gave an ugly look. For a guy who looked like a muscle head, he was very informed. In fact, it came off as a little intimidating that he already had me looked into. Well, he didn’t have all the facts straight. I appeared in the middle of the town square. Of course, no one wanted to look crazy, saying I appeared from nowhere, so I was a town stranger, not a world stranger.

“Here, kid, take this. It’ll get you a night at the inn and some food. We’ll just take it off your tab.” A coin flashed in the air, and I missed it, causing it to land somewhere nearby.

The guy laughed again as I went on my hands and knees, looking for it. It was starting to get dark out here, so it was really difficult to see.

“Arggg!” A zombie suddenly lunged from a pile of corpses right at me.

“Kid! Dodge!” The guild master’s serious face replaced his playful one as he grabbed for the sword on his back.

However, there was no time to dodge. The monster was in a position where a single swipe would split me open. At that moment, I couldn’t think of anything else to do but cast the spell I had cast all day. I had a theory that if these were undead, then…

“Weak Heal!”

White magic flooded out and touched the monster. As soon as the white light touched it, there was a sizzling sound. The creature stiffened for a moment and then collapsed as if his string had just been cut. The body continued to sizzle and melt until it was just a puddle on the floor. By that point, the guild master had reached my side and was staring at the puddle with surprise on his face.

“It looks like your abilities do more than just heal,” he said with an impressed look on his face.

I nodded, but I was more excited by the announcement on my screen.
