Behind them a voice sounds out.Turning around they find a man standing behind them. His grey hair is cut short and still full but contrary to his hair color there are no wrinkles in his face and his eyes sparkle. He is wearing a simple black outfit consisting of a T-Shirt, wide trousers and boots. The only color on it is the emblem on his shoulder which displays a collar with a chain winding around it and a whip above them, all in a blood red color.

"Sir." , Greg greets him without hesitation after seeing the emblem and Serge hurriedly follows suit. Just Ivan is a bit late, since the change in Greg had really surprised him. As they start to bow the man loughs, "Haha, no need to be so formal. I'm just here to ask him some questions.", with that he points at Ivan. He then continues, "Boy, how big is your inventory?". The others look surprised at him. "Um, 100 cubic meter, Sir.", Ivan hurriedly answers. He didn't think much about it since he thought it was normal, but Greg's and Serge's chin fell down. "Wow, that's even more than I thought." Ivan throws an asking look at Greg and he hurriedly explains. "I guess since you lost your memories you didn't know that a usual inventory is only at the size of about 1 cubic meter, so your inventory space is abnormal big." "But can't the space be increased?" "Of course it can, but the price is way to high, the System takes a million gold for the first cubic meter and everyone after it only increases." "Wow, that's really expensive."

The man ignored them and mumbled to himself. "Hm, that's quite a bit more than I guessed. It seems I found a good one." He then directly looked at Ivan and asked, "Boy, do you want to join us?"

"Um, I don't even know who you are." "Oh, look at how forgetful I am. My name is Carl van Bergen and I am the recruiter of the Slavers Alliance. And since you fulfill the basic requirements to enter our Alliance I am asking you to join."

Greg smiles hugely and encourages him "Do it, Ivan. There is nothing better than joining them." "I would love to, but I need to know the pay." "There is none." "Then I'm sorry, but I need to earn my livelihood so I can't join." "Don't be so hasty. Even though there is no basic pay, we will provide a place to live and you basic necessities. Besides that after the orientation phase you can take internal missions to earn your pay." "Oh, then I would love to enter the Slavers Alliance." "Great, then meet me at the school gate at 8 in the evening so we can go over the contract and get you settled down." "Sounds good, and thank you for offering me to join." "Haha, I just did my job. Now go and have some more fun.", with that he turns around and leaves.

"Wow you really lucked out, Ivan." "Is it really that great?" "You have no idea, everyone wants to join an alliance and you got an offer of the strongest one. Luckily I too have still a chance to enter the Merchant Alliance, since you can enter it if you become a successful merchant. But enough of that, let's have some more fun, since from tomorrow on we won't have much time to play.", with these he pulled the two others all around, chatting non stop.

Soon it was close to 8 and time for Ivan to meet Van Bergen, so he interrupted Greg's stream of words. "Guys, I have to go." "Huh, what. Oh you gotta meet the recruiter right?" "Mmm." "Then we will meet tomorrow?" "Of course, after all we are in the same class.". For the first time in a long while Serge said something too, "Ivan, take care and make the most of this chance. We will see you tomorrow." "Bye." After saying his goodbye he left for the meeting.

When he arrived at the school gate it was exactly 8 but Van Bergen wasn't in sight. Just as he wanted to look around someone tapped him on the shoulder. Turning around he saw the man behind him. "Very good. You are quite punctual, but you should try coming a bit early. Follow me." After saying his bit he went ahead towards one of the food stalls and sat down. "Sit down and order something.", seeing Ivan fidgeting around he then lightly laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will pay for it." Letting out an embarrassed sight Ivan said, "Thank you." "Don't worry about it, that is something I should do, after all I will be your mentor." "My mentor?"

"I guess you don't really know anything about our Alliance and how it works right?" Before Ivan could answer a waitress came to ask them what they wanted to eat and they both ordered some noodles.

"Don't worry, that is what I am for. Since I found you and recruited you I will be your mentor and teach you the basics, as well as help you if need it. In exchange I will get a bonus depending on your performance each month, so work hard.

Anyways, lets get started with some information about what we do. In general we do what our name depicts, like all alliances. We catch, train, sell, supervise slaves of all types. So first of all, what is a slave?"

"Someone who has no rights and have to serve the master?"

"Close, but not quite. There are quite some rights slaves posses, some are enforced by the system while others are enforced by us. Besides that it is important to look at what creatures can be slaves."

"I thought they were humans?"

"That's only a small part of it. Most slaves are monsters, which are all living beings with a certain intelligence which don't belong to the four great races."

"Oh, so plants can also be slaves?"

"Sure, but they are quite rare, since not many plants can reach the required threshold of intelligence, most of them are smaller animals."
