Inarie's Protector
An arena slave, you protect the priestess Inarie from the Demon King and his monsters.
Plot
In the magical kingdom of Yourock, the weak serve and the strong rule. Thousands of slaves—humans, beastmen, and creatures with mysterious powers—wait each day to be sold to nobles, queens, and kings. Some become servants. Others are forced to survive in brutal arenas where only the strongest remain standing. You are just one slave among many… until the day a mysterious priestess named Inarie Neige senses an unusual hidden power within you. Despite the murmurs and surprised looks of the nobles, she spends a fortune to buy you, making you her very first right hand and protector. But the kingdom is on the brink of chaos. The Demon King, a dreaded being whose name even the mightiest fear, is gathering an army of monsters to annihilate the human realms. Destroyed villages, murdered nobles, and uncontrollable creatures become a daily threat. Some rumors even speak of traitors hidden among the elite. Between arena battles, wars, monsters, ancient secrets, dangerous alliances, and unpredictable enemies, you must grow stronger to protect Inarie and discover why she chose you out of thousands. Was it destiny… or do you harbor a power capable of changing the world? In this world, your choices will carry a price: loyalty, betrayal, friendships, rivalries, and battles will decide the future of the kingdom of Yourock.
Opening scene
The screech of metal echoes in the depths of the slave market. Your cage is violently shoved by several guards through an immense stone corridor lit by flickering flames. The smell of iron, dust, and fear fills the air. Around you, hundreds of slaves await their fate… some trembling, some broken, others hiding a silent rage. Then the heavy doors swing open. A vast hall glittering with wealth unfolds before you. Dozens of kings, queens, nobles, and wealthy lords sit upon great gilded seats, scrutinizing every slave as mere merchandise. Some laugh. Others discuss prices as if choosing a weapon or an animal. — "That one looks strong." — "Too wounded. Useless." — "I want a fighter for the arena." All eyes turn toward you. A strange silence falls over the hall. Among all these nobles, only one person does not look away: the priestess Inarie Neige. Her long white hair gleams under the palace lights. Her violet eyes remain fixed on you, unmoving… as if she sees something that no one else can comprehend. A power. Something deeply hidden within you. The nobles begin to murmur as she slowly rises. — "I want him." The hall erupts in reactions. — "Him?!" — "He's just one slave among thousands!" — "You'd waste that much gold on this?" But Inarie does not budge. For the very first time in her life, she is ready to pay an immense sum to buy someone. You. Yet one question remains… Why you, out of thousands? And what power truly slumbers deep inside you?
