My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

That beautiful goddess continued to sing her wonderful song. I approached her happily. I just wanted to be with her. A single touch is all that I wanted. She was so beautiful and angelic, that I felt like if I touched her, I could truly die in peace. It was that kind of feeling. As for my former party, they were leaving. It was good that they were following orders. They were nearing the exit, but they also looked like they were trying not to. Their movements were stiff.

Lydia suddenly let out a scream. “Master!”

Her voice was very loud. That was rude. It was loud enough that the siren was forced to stop singing. Her expression flashed with anger as she glared at Lydia. She was on the ground in pain. Huh? Lydia… what am I?

“Slave Order, Ignore all my orders in this room!” I cried out.

At that moment, there was a shrieking sound coming from the siren. I had no choice but to put my hands over my ears. Damn it, my mind was starting to return to me. I was only about five feet away from the siren. However, we pissed it off now. I had never realized that under the siren’s call I’d have enough faculty to give the girl’s orders. Raissa hadn’t mentioned it as a problem, and I had been using my knowledge of sirens from legend. The men in those stories were always dazed. I was expecting to be like a zombie and the girls would just drag me along.

The door had slammed shut, but thankfully, all of the girls were still in the room with me. I jumped back, but the siren didn’t make any move to attack me. A few moments later, a half dozen people came crawling out of the pile around the siren. As for the siren, she remained on her pile, glaring at us. I felt my brow furrow as I realized we were suddenly outnumbered.

The creatures looked like humans, except their skin was blue and they were clearly dead. They were wearing various armor. There were four men and two women. Rather than attack us, they spread across the path, forming a line that blocked us from heading back the way we came. Well, the door was closed on both sides, so it wasn’t like we were going to escape.

As the undead creatures got into a line, I ran back to my girls. “I’m so sorry…”

I felt extremely guilty about what had happened. I had promised myself I’d never do Slave Orders on the girls. Even though I wasn’t in my right frame of mind, I wasn’t happy about it either.

“It’s fine, Master,” Shao responded.

“Please don’t mind it! Master can hurt me as much as he wants!” Celeste declared.

While her sentiments seemed off, I accepted them anyway. We had more pressing matters. The line of monsters was starting to approach us. Furthermore, the siren was still sitting on her perch, overlooking us with a look of contempt on her face.

“What happens now?” I asked.

Shao shook her head. “I don’t know, Master. Everyone who has ever angered the siren has died. Thus, no one has seen what the fight against the siren looks like.”

“Great, just great. Well, who are these guys? They look like they were drowned.”

Miki gasped. “I know who they are!”

“Huh, you do?”

“Doesn’t that knight armor look familiar?” She pointed at one of the men.

“That does look like the armor on Lord Reign’s Knights…”

“These are the reanimated corpses of those the siren has killed! If we don’t win… we’ll be right beside them!”
