Summary: He who does not have a name is been save from the Abyss of Hell, the prison for the slave. After saving him by Kota Yabu a young master from a prominent family, the latter declares that he is now his slave and he is the master.
“The coldness is freezing my entire body… I am drifting to the deepest part of the world. No one will see me anymore, no one will insult me anymore I am waiting for this day to come. The day that my life will end already. I can’t feel anymore the pain of the wounds I have in this weak body. I can’t feel anymore the pain deep inside my heart knowing that my existence is just an unwanted one. From the very beginning I am living alone in this world no one cares about me. My mere existence is just a joke…. I want to die already… I want to rest in peace but why? Why can’t you grant it to me?”
…
“This is just a joke right? Kota this is just a joke right?” Daiki asked Kota seriously. Kota is standing in front of the window looking at the scenery outside that big mansion. Kota Yabu, the only son of an aristocrat family. At his young age he is the one who is already doing his part as the heir of the Yabu family. He is one of the top young man in the country and many admires him. Daiki Arioka is his cousin who is very close to him. “What the hell are you thinking bringing a slave in this house?”
“Is that a problem?” Kota asked as he looks at Daiki innocently.
“Is that a problem?” Daiki repeated. “Kota you are smart but not on common sense things, of course it is bad. That guy is a slave did you see that mark on his forehead, that is the symbol that he is a top slave from the abyss saving his life is forbidden.”
“Is saving someone’s life that bad? Is it a big sin?” Kota asked him repeatedly and then he sit down on his chair.
“It’s not bad but then…”
“Then, I didn’t do something wrong right?” Kota asked and then he smiled and then that face turns into a serious one. “Slave?”
Daiki don’t want the idea that Kota bring a slave in that house. Kota came from a famous and noble family and bringing a slave coming from the abyss is forbidden. The Abyss of Hell is where human with unwanted existence is sent. This is the place where humans with special power are sent and make as a slave for the benefit of the government. Ordinary people are not allowed to mingle with them nor save or talks to them. People who did that will be also punish.
“How is he?” Kota asked Daiki who is just silent in one corner.
“The doctor is curing him he is been in the freezing water for a long time already so they are very careful about him.” Daiki answered. “How about you? Are you fine? Jumping in that freezing water recklessly, do you want to die?”
“Don’t worry… I have long life” Kota said. “But I hope he will be fine. I don’t want my sacrifice go to waste.”
…
There is a small snow blizzard while Kota and Daiki have their journey going back to their vacation home when suddenly they hear a strange sound. Kota suddenly went out of the sled that they are riding and look for that sound and then he accidentally saw freezing water where he feels something inside of it. He recklessly jumps in that freezing water and he saw a guy drifting slowly in the deeps of the water.
Kota saves that guy and brings him home and that’s how they found that slave from the abyss of hell. He can be considered half dead already when he is found, his weak body stained by blood coming from his deep wounds. He looks so pitiful, this is a slave a low type humans, an individual who is unclean, who is unwanted, who is not worthy of living a beautiful life, who is not love, who is been hate… slave that is what it is.
…
“I open my eyes, how come I am alive? How come I am not dead? Am I back to the abyss? But….this place is so warm. It is very different from the abyss, it is like a home of a warm family. Where am I? What is this place?”
“Are you awake?” Kota asked who is just sitting besides the bed. He is holding a book but when he saw the slave awake he close the book. The slave is sleeping for a whole week already and now he is awake.
“Who…Who are you?”
“Kota…Kota Yabu” he introduced with a warm smile. “And you are…?”
“Where am i?”
“My mansion.”
The slave suddenly panic, he tries to stand up from where he is sitting but suddenly he feels that his whole body is been burning in fire. He is not fully recovered, his wound is not fully healed.
“I will not do something bad to you so please calm down. You are not fully recovered so you need to rest. Are you hungry? I will let the maid to cook for you.” Kota said.
The slave didn’t answer, he is just silent in his bed while he is feeling the weakness of his body.
…
Daiki is planning to go outside of the house when someone knock the main door. Since he is near he is the one who opens it and he is surprised to see big man wearing a black cloak.
…
“We saw it, you save that slave” the leader of the big man said. He is Lord Khustenn, the master of the abyss of hell, the prisoner for slave.
“It is just ordinary to save someone who’s life is already in the line right?” Kota said while looking seriously at the guy.
“Give him back to us, give the slave back to us.” Lord Khustenn said. “This doesn’t bother you Young Master Kota Yabu, that slave is an slave which you must not have interest to. He is a low level individual and letting him to your mansion is disgracing your family.”
“Is that slave that important to you?” Kota suddenly asked. “For you to go in this place personally and talk to me like this. Like what I have heard it is rare for the Lord of the Abyss to show himself personally.”
Lord Khustenn look at Kota and then he smiled but all of a sudden his expression change, he wants to bad mouth the young master in front of him but then he is the one who is in need so he must be respectful.
“Onegai, please give him back to us.”
“Nope” Kota suddenly answered that make everyone hearing the conversation surprised. Even Daiki can’t believe what Kota answered, he can’t understand anymore what his cousin is thinking that moment. “Isn’t it, it is allowed to buy a slave? Then I will buy him… I will but that slave.”
“He is not the type of slave that we sell.”
“Is it because he is something important? I will buy him no matter what amount.” Kota said with seriousness on his face.
Kota buys the slave and with that he own him already. That guy is his slave already.
…
Kota visits the slave’s room and then he is searching for him but he is not in the bed, he look for him around the room and he is surprised to see him hiding in the cabinet. He is trembling and looks very scared. He is surprised when Kota opens the cabinet.
“You are now my slave” Kota suddenly announce to him. “I am now your master, you are bound to be always at my side and do everything I will ask you to do. Now as your master I will name you in the name Kei… Kei Inoo” Kota said to him and then suddenly he lift Kei’s face and then he slowly kiss Kei’s mark of being a slave which is on his forehead. The tool to formally announce that they are the master and slave.
