Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

'An underground party hall.....' Zick knew that this place was for VIPs, but he didn't think they would go and make a huge party hall like this underground.

Even the interior looked expensive, showing the money spent to build it. The wall lamps made the hall look no different from the ones on surface.

The guide reached in front of Zick as he still looked around the hall.

"Your invitation, sir." Usually guides are not respectful to others here, but it was different for Zick. The guide had clearly seen him come out of a room which could only be used by a few people.

Zick took out the letter from the space ring and passed on to the guide.

"A VIP!"

Checking the letter for a few seconds, the guide gave it back to Zick with a hardened expression.

''Sir please this-"

"When will the auction start?" Zick cut off the guide's word.

"...It will start in another 20 minutes."

''I see." Zick didn't want to use his money before the auction, he might find someone with immense talent or an item which could be useful to him in there.

Zick currently has around 127,000 platinum coins. Originally he had only 400 platinum coins before he left the Melvix estate, but he got 100,000 from Anelete and 30,000 from Seveleen. Then he used some of it to buy a space ring and a oath seal. But after he went to the gambling houses in the past two weeks, he was able to make tons of money.

'And I don't even know if the fourth harem member of Aeiron is here or not.' This matter was a total mystery to Zick, it might have been mentioned in the , but he didn't remember it. He only knew that she was here before being sold to a merchant. Aeiron found that she was a slave after seeing the slavery seal on the back of her neck and then helped her. She was also the strongest assassin in the whole world in the future. She was able to reach the realm of grandmaster.

This might also be one of the reasons that led to the destruction of the underworld of the academic city.

The best way to find her was by coming here at the sixth month of the academy. But Zick still wanted to check once in case she is already here. If he doesn't find her, he could only buy a few slaves and go back.

"Sir, please let me guide you.''

''Okay." Zick didn't reject his offer, there was 20 minutes before the auction started. He could find the way with his senses, but the underground black market restricted his senses. He could only feel a few rooms beside this hall, not the whole black market.

"This is only the lobby where people can wait or enjoy themselves." The guide started by showing the party hall first where people danced with their partner.

Zick picked up a glass of juice along the way, sipping at its red content while walking with the guide.

''Please this way." the guide started leading Zick out of the party hall.

As Zick walked beside the guide, many people passed by them, they all wore masks on their faces. He could see through it easily, but he didn't meet anyone he knew.

Soon the guide brought him to another place through the corridor. But the place he brought to him was different from the other places. It looked like an arena.

Entering through the huge door, Zick wasn't even surprised anymore that there was a place like this here.

"This is the arena, sir. You can bet upon any of slave if you want to."

Zick looked at the arena.

In the middle of the arena, a monster with its head resembling a lizard and with six legs, it was tied in chains. The monster was drooling and it constantly roared to the point that some people covered their ears. The audience that was watching quietly started cheering and naturally, people started appearing on the opposite side of the monster. They were slaves, around 30 of them.

Without any delay, the monster was released. It rushed towards the slaves and started killing them using its claw, tail and fangs. Almost half of the slaves died without even being able to resist. In no time, the whole arena ground was stained in blood.

"Kyahhhh!"

"S-Save me!"

"Save me! Ahhhh!"

The slaves screams were drown out by the audience loud cheer.

"Hang in there!"

"Just hold on a bit longer"

"Alright minute is up, hold the monster down!" People entered the arena and put the chain upon the monster again.

It seems the people here had bet upon some of the slave. they had probably done it blindly, checking their luck.

Looking at all the slaves being killed, Zick didn't feel anything. He was already used to the scene of people being killed like this through the battlefield.

Zick found a bunch of sword kept in the arena, for the slaves to use against the monster.

''Sir. Would you like me to prepare a monster for you or slave as dummy to check out your sword skills?" The guide saw Zick staring at the swords, so he proposed this.

''No need, let's go to the next place." Zick replied indifferently.

''Yes, this way sir." The guide started showing other places like the monster market and there was even a mini pleasure area where there were many beautiful womens kept as a slave. He couldn't go to the slave market and the other places as The 20 minutes passed by already.

The guide started leading Zick towards the auction, now that the time was up. It was held at the end of the underground black market as the main event today.

Arriving at the auction, Zick could find a luxurious room. With many rows of seats, it was smaller than the academy's auditorium. Everyone had already gathered here, sitting upon the seat with expectant looks.

"Sir, you can sit within one of the VIP rooms." The Guide took Zick to one of the rooms which were above the auction.

''You can press this button here to bid for an item and you can speak on this device to tell your bid. My job is over here, I will be taking my leave.'' After explaining the function of the two devices kept upon the table in front of the sofa, the guide left With a last graceful bow.

'Is there different kinds of letters?' From the action of the guide it seems there are different types of letters and he got one of the VIP type from Keshein.

Looking around for a second, Zick walked towards one of the sofas and sat upon it. There was a huge glass wall in front of him, showing the auction stage perfectly. There was also a paper above the table listing The items that will be auctioned today.

The room had an even stronger enchantment on it that restricted his senses. He could vaguely sense the presence of the people in the VIP room beside him.

'I should have enough money to buy a few thing from here and I even need to save some to buy slaves after the auction.' Zick also held a little expectation towards this auction. He had the dragon eyes so he can see all the talents or ability of the slaves and items. But this slaves would just come use in fighting more then management work. So he still had to look for other people who could take care of work in that area.

Zick didn't feel like taking care of the underworld in the second continent himself at all. He only wanted its influence.

'It's better than becoming a noble or a king anyway....' In his eyes, this status was just filled with too much responsibility, which he didn't like.

At that instant, a bright light shone upon the auction stage.

'It's starting.'
