" For our seventeenth one , male eighteen. He is the tallest of the bunch. Six foot five. Quite strong but if well trained you can get good results. The starting price is two thousand dollars," the auctioneer said his voice like a knife twisting in Alarics fragile heart.
He had not expected to be that tall since he had been sitting down the whole time, that came as a small suprise. At least he had a small advantage.
"Twenty five hundred," a male voice said. Alaric closed his eyes hoping some else could add to the amount. He didn't want a man.
" Three thousand," a gritty voice said. From the sound it sounded old.
Alaric waited for another increase but nop no one else added into the amount.
" Sold to the beautiful lady at the front," the auctioneer announced sealing his fate with a smile and three thousand dollars.
He was led out of the room through the back door like the others. The hall outside was just as magnificent. White and gold colors were blend together shimmering as little chandeliers cast light on the walls forming different small color patterns on the walls.
He followed the man as he led them down the hall . He stopped Infront of a door and opened it. Inside an older woman maybe in her fifties was sitting on one of the two sets of chairs.
Her back was a little bent and she looked so out of place in the room.
" Ma'am we got your product as per your request just sign the contract here and there," an older man sat on the opposite chair showing her what to do.
After the signing she stood up and hobbled towards him , she was holding a small cane that he seemed to not notice.
" From today on you will belong to me," she said as she assessed him .
Is she saying what she's saying, him being with an old woman, he was a virgin now his first was gone just like that.
She seemed to read his mind and laughed out loud. "Not me you man, let's go to your new home."
He sighed in relief secretly ,at least not him. Maybe he was just going to be a servant or something.
He was led out of the auction house with the old woman Infront of her. Outside the world was no different from what he had imagined.
He looked at the auction house one last time. The outside was normal, a small shop was used as a mask for the entrance. Probably wanted to make it look mysterious.
He followed her as she navigated through the slums going deeper into the foul smelling place. The houses around were barely holding on . Dirty children ran around splashing in the foul water that seemed to have things floating on them.
The whole place was a biohazard. On earth he was not poor but not very rich also but he had never been to this kind of environmental. This was where the lowest in the humanity ladders lived.
The old woman saw him looking around in shock.
" This places are mostly infested with criminals, the unsuccessful or those who had failed their awakening," she said as she skipped over a pile of God knows what without even looking.
" Awakening?" He asked puzzled. The woman gave him a weird look.
" You can call me mama Martha. And where were you raised this is elementary school things," her eyes scrutinizing him suspiciously.
He knew he had made a mistake.
" No, I just think I lost most of my memories. My memories start from the auction."
Mama Martha eyes widened in disbelief," you poor thing. When we reach home, you will get a full explanation."
They walked the remaining twenty minute walk in silence as Alaric digested what he was seeing.
They had already left the slums and arrived at a pretty two story house. The place seemed to be in the middle of a business street since a lot of people were selling things . The other buildings around them had a similar design as the one he was standing Infront of.
The building had red festival curtains around the outside, there were different girls standing outside wearing clothes that seemed to show too much skin. Where had he been brought.
" Mama Martha you are back," a woman who seemed to be in her mid twenties walked towards them, her barely hanging on dress ridding up her thighs.
Alaric swore he saw her underwear before she pulled the dress down.
" Yes, I got us a young one," mama Martha said to the woman displaying Alaric to her.
The woman looked Alaric up and down then turned to mama Martha," he's not really that super handsome."
" Hey," Alaric couldn't help but react to that. The woman laughed at his reaction.
" I'm kidding he's goodlooking enough," she added.
" Yes he just needs a bath and exercises to make him more ripped, " mama Martha said as she pulled up Alaric shirt to show his tight stomach," he has a little so it won't take long. "
Now Alaric was confused on what he was going to be doing that requires him to be that perfect.
" So what am I going to be doing? " He decided to ask more directly than spending most of his time wondering.
" Ooh mama Martha didn't introduce you, " the woman said as he led her through the decorated door past sheer curtains.
He was hit with a smell of perfume and incence . The room was red except for the walls that were painted white. The furniture, curtains and carpets were all red with a golden and crystals chandelier hanging in the middle.
Ten girls were all sitting there talking to each other, each more beautiful than the other.
They all turned and looked at him the moment he entered after the woman.
" Ladies, we have a new staff member. His name is.." the woman turned to him.
" Alaric."
" His name is Alaric and he will be our first male escort. Mama Martha said we can't only have girls. The house nextdoor also has three and they get customers alot , so let's be more welcoming."
Alaric was left shocked by what he heard. So he was an male prostitute. This place was a brothel. That surprised him a little.
" Hi nice to meet you, I'm Alaric," he said softly.
He wasn't really that panicked since from the the system he knew he had to sleep with women to get stronger. This was a perfect place, he smiled to himself.
He could get women and get paid for sleeping with them. This was a jack pot for any virgin.
" Hi, I'm Celey. Nice to meet you," a girl probably in her early twenties waved at him . She was probably shorter than you average girl but what stood out was her huge melons that were held up by a black corset she was wearing. Every time she moved they looked like they were going to spill out. Her smile was infectious that he smiled back at her.
" Brook," the woman next to Celey she was the tallest of them.
" Shapy," the next one said, her skin was darker than the rest .
" Blue," the next one said she had long blue flowing hair.
" Samantha, you can call me sam," she looked older maybe in her early thirties but was still very beautiful.
"I'm Emily and she is Emmy," they were identical twins but Emmy could not talk so they were always considered a pair in everything.
"June," she was chubby, but the cute kind of chubby that you want to squish her cheeks.
" Doe," she had different colored pupils.
" Cicily," a more quieter girl said she was hiding behind June just her head poking out. Cute.
" And since I haven't introduced my self, you can call me Bethany," the woman who brought him inside said before leaving and going back outside.
Mama Martha turned towards him then looked at the girls," so who is going to be training our new member on how to serve customers?"
Most of the girls looked to the side.
Celey stepped forward still smiling," I can teach him as long as you give me your first payment. I'm not doing it for free."
" Sure," he accepted before mama Martha could say anything.
She shook her head and said," okay that's your own arrangements, I give you a week I want him to be very good. "
She turned to him," don't disappoint me."
He nodded solemnly. The old woman had not treated him badly so he was more than happy to do what she wanted.
" First let's get you to your room so that you can clean yourself. Our training will start tomorrow."
She led him upstairs into a room that had only a bed and a small desk and table. The place was clean so it seemed to be well maintained.
" Rest for today, you must have had a long day," she said as she closed the door behind her.
He had just sat on the bed when the system screen appeared Infront of him. His first mission had now appeared. He smiled at that.
