Title: The Slave Coefficient

Nik did hear about the medicinal lake being destroyed and then groups of girls venturing deep into the forest with appropriate preparation to find more herbs. He didn't care much about that. In reality, Nik gathered herbs using the old way, i.e., finding them and harvesting them because he would get bored by simply using the Dream Core's feature of taking whatever he sees or feel.

This realm, did belong to him now that he had refined it, after all.

But as the girls left in droves, almost everyone joining in on the fun due to the sheer lack of activities in the realm at the moment, something that Nik would have to take care of soon enough, he was left with Moon, Pentacle, Venom, and of course, Tanya.

He was more than delighted.

"Now, now, your mom isn't here," Nik smiled as he had brought Tanya out.

"Say dada... I'll have all my kids say Dada before mommy... hehe... I should have some opportunities since I'm the house husband in all of this," Nik smiled shamelessly, his snicker affecting Tanya, who waved her hand and giggled.

"Yes, who's the sweetest girl ever!" Nik made faces while laying down a mat and then placing Tanya on the ground to let her slowly get used to the feel of grass. In quite a several videos made of infants, most of them cry and get scared when they touch anything other than a floor. Nik didn't know why since he never got an opportunity to cry at such a stupid thing, but he figured that he may as well record it. Who knows, these recordings will become his greatest arsenal in the future!

"Ah, Master, you returned!" A pleasant voice called out to Nik. The old palace was built near a cliff so all of the girls had to walk on a descent till they reached the castle plains. The only region not ravaged by spirit beasts, and dinosaurs.

"Yeah, sorry about yesterday," Nik waved back at Ryu'er and Klass who had Luci follow them, "You did good showing them who's the boss," Nik grinned. He always knew Ryu'er had it in herself but to show her spunk in front of the entirety of the girls, and with quite a flair at that, Nik was thoroughly colored impressed.

"Should I bring her feed?" Klas inquired sincerely while smiling towards Tanya happily.

"She just drank her share... I'll get mine tonight, hehe," Nik snickered, making the two petite sweethearts blush.

"What are you going to do with her?" Nik inquired offhandedly as he sat down close near Tanya, holding her hands as she continued her struggle to move more quickly while her large grown eyes looked enamored by the beautiful pink clouds.

Ryu'er looked towards Luci. She herself didn't know what to do. It's not like she has any idea on how to rear a slave.

"Umm... Master, I was hoping that you would guide us," Ryu'er stated sincerely.

"No, no," Nik shook his head. He couldn't possibly admit that he was too tired to just try and break Luci when she already had the mind to join his ranks now that she was broken away from the main body and lost her initial grudge formed from her unique bloodline. She might accept her current situation by reasoning that she was simply appeasing Nik in the form of allowing his women to do anything they desire. But if Nik constantly makes a fool of her, he would end up driving a permanent wedge which would ensure that Luci would benefit Nik more as a dead being than an alive one.

Technically, she still was an undead though.

"Think of this as an exercise. I heard that you have divided the time with each other. A weak, is it? Since you still have six days... why not just ask her stuff? You might get inspired in that manner."

Nik shrugged.

Ryu'er and Klas looked at each other while Luci remained silent the entire time. She looked towards Tanya for a moment, frowning in the realization that the little girl did not seem truly special considering the seed she was sowed from.

"Move! What are you dazing for?" Ryu'er coldly remarked and began walking. She didn't want to take up Nik's time with Tanya.

"Master, please call me if you need anything," Klas smiled before leaving with Ryu'er.

"I want all my enemies defeated and tied onto an iron pole to be fucked by multiversal beasts..." Nik mumbled, "But I guess, it's too much to ask."

Of course, the group had left by now.

"Dah! Dah!"

Tanya continuously smacked her hands against the mat, her chin slobbered with her drool as she chimed.

Meanwhile, escaping for its life was Venom. The spider barely dodged the unpredictable strikes of the small human while Nik snickered and lied down.

However, he suddenly blinked and sat up straight.

"What did you just say?" Nik gasped as he looked towards Tanya.

"Dah!" she struck.

"Dah!" She struck again.

Now, Nik was confused.

'Is she calling Dah as Da-dah... or... Dah, as in Die...' Nik looked at Venom.

"Well baby steps. She got the first da... now I need to make her speak dada together."

While Nik began to grow deep into thought, he suddenly smelled a disastrous scent. Tanya's nose scrunched and she balled her fist as if in extreme concentration.

Moon and Ignit hurried away while Venom could only crawl up to Nik's leg quickly.

"Yeah, we need to change your diapies!" Nik smiled wryly.

"Kids and their diet... now she'll just ask for more milk... and then she'll crap her diapers once again..." Nik sighed deeply but she already had a diaper in his hands.

"Speak," Ryu'er said while sitting on the mat alongside Klas.

Luci, meanwhile, stood in front of them and inquired with a twitch of lips, "What... mistress?"

"Whatever you want. Tell us about yourself!" Ryu'er demanded confidently, her short, dark-blue hair ruffling with the gentle blow of wind and her crimson pupils surrounded by blue pigments flickered coldly.

Even Klas felt a little weirded out.

"Should I search the library for any possible books on slaves? Meanwhile, you should try to experiment with Luci. Once I return, we can compare and find better ways," Klas suggested, making Ryu'er fall silent.

"Um... how about I go to the city?" Ryu'er inquired with a soft blush. Still, unlike Ryu'er who had greater than average needs, Klas nodded with a comforting smile, "Of course... um, you should then search the library in private."

Ryu'er nodded and walked towards the surrounding trees before sitting behind one, away from Luci's eyes as the silver-haired demon grew visibly confused.

As Ryu'er entered the consciousness city to find a good book on slavery and curl up against Nik, Klas looked at Luci while she returned the look calmly.

"Um... when I was caught, I became a teaching dummy for Master," Klas smiled, "So, it isn't as bad as you think. In fact, my first interaction with the master was that I and my partner were trying to attack him and take advantage of him."

"Then... why are you alive?" Luci inquired.

"Because I'm a woman?" Klas replied. The reason was quite simple. Nik discriminated against based on gender quite often.

Luci pursed her lips.

"But I think, the difference in our treatment is because you had the capabilities of actually harming Master... well, while I didn't," Klas continued, and soon, her sympathetic gaze disappeared and a blank look appeared on her face.

"It's wrong to think of it this way... but all this reasoning somehow makes me afraid of you... pity you..."

A crystal dildo was soon formed out of Klas' hand as its size, thickness, and sheer glimmer made Luci visibly stunned, "And somehow... play with you. Please, sit in front of me."

'You? Afraid of me? Sister! Look at your green eyes for a moment! They were like emerald before and now all the shine is lost! Are you kidding me?! I thought that the little dragon hybrid was dangerous but it turns out it is this closeted sadist!' Luci bit her lips and walked forward before sitting close to Klas.

"Can you remove your wings?" Klas inquired.

"I'm afraid not," Luci replied, making Klas sigh.

"Wrong," she shook her head. Evidently, she was a natural, a being that did not need any books on slave rearing, "The correct reply should be— I am worthless. Please punish me."

"Now, please turn your back towards me and press your head onto the ground.

'Why are all of them so obsessed with my ass?!' Luci hid her scowl well as she committed what was asked.

Her folded wings now fell onto her sides as she placed her head on the ground and showed her barely covered butt to Klas.

Meanwhile, Ryu'er finally found a book but her shivering body showed that she was held back by something big, and with the blissful smile on her face, it was surely strong.
