Fate had its way of choosing its Heroes, and this was no exception. Three Teens from separate worlds were chosen to become members of the Titan Force and with that were given powers and abilities from their favorite games or Anime.
The Titan Force Heroes and Irene were now walking through the city of Melromarc as soon as morning hit. While Gin and Otome were in the back doing their own thing, Rem and Irene were busy talking with each other.
"So you're a descendant of the previous Sword Hero?" Rem asked Irene who nods
"Yes. And while I am a hero's descendant, I plan on becoming my own hero" She says with a proud smile
"That's good, well while you're in our party I expect you to help us" Rem said
"Right. You can count on me Sir Rem" Irene said with a nod as she smiled at him
"Good" Rem said with a nod as he smiled back at her
Eventually the four of them found themselves facing a circus tent that had large cages outside the tent.
They saw a creepy looking short man exit the tent. He wore a circus ringmaster outfit, round glasses with a small chain attached to it, white gloves and a top hat along with a red bowtie with a diamond brooch in the center. The short man looked at the four with a sinister grin.

The man's name is Beloukas, the Slave Trader.
"Ooh, customers, wonderful" Beloukas said while his creepy grin remained
Irene grew nervous when she saw Beloukas and wanted to turn the other way and pretend that she didn't encounter a slave trader, but Rem wasn't phased by the slave trader.
"What can I help you four with? Some slave crests maybe?" Beloukas asked as his grin widened
"We're looking to buy a Slave so to join us" Rem calmly said as he ignored Irene who gave him a shocked look
"Then you've come to the right place! Come on in, right this way" Beloukas said as he began walking back into his tent
Rem followed Beloukas along with his reluctant teammates and Irene as they entered inside the tent which was filled with Demi-Humen and Beastmen slaves much to Otome and Irene's horror while Gin was inwardly pissed but kept himself under control.
As for Rem, he kept a calm demeanor as he had seen this before when he watched the show, though that didn't make it any less terrible. But regardless he kept himself calm as to not to rage out and possibly scare his soon to be companion.
"Aww, you're no fun Remy" A voice said in Rem's head
"Not now, Sgàil(Shadow)" Rem mentally said
"Why are there more Demi-Humans than humans?" Gin asked with Otome nodding agreeing with him
"This country practices human supremacy and Demi-Humans are thought to be closer to monsters. Life can be quite hard for them here, as such, they're treated as slaves here" Beloukas explains
"I see" Rem said with a nod
Rem then heard coughing as he turned to look at the source of the sound with the others following as Rem stopped in front of a cage covered by a tarp. And as Rem removed the tarp he saw a sick little raccoon girl with messy hair and dull looking eyes.
