It's anime_addict_65 back with yet another reader insert! This was requested by GajiruRedFox. Um it's been like half a year since they requested this and I totally forgot so, uh here it is. So please enjoy this one!! I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS~
-------------------------------------------
You're slave. A filthy, miserable, revolting slave. You are the enemy of humanity, an example to show the world how pitiful we slaves are. They look down on you, as if you were more of an item than the human that I am. A mere object. The shackles around your wrists and ankles are the proof of a fake contract you had signed unknowingly years before. You'd ruined your own life, along with all of your friends and families' lives too.
You believed that you were the worst, the worst person alive for making your family and friends get involved with your stupidity.
Your master sent you to fetch some fresh fruit from the market just now. Each time he sends you out, you try to escape, but you never succeeded. Not because you were forced by him to stop, but because you forced yourself to stop. If you tried to escape, you'd stop yourself and tell yourself that escaping was useless because you'd get caught anyway. In short, you are a pessimist. (if you're not a pessimist...well then...too bad)
While buying the fruit for your master, you noticed there was a small commotion nearby. You were curious so you went to take a look at what was going on. There, you saw a blond boy telling stories about dungeons and djinns. Oh. Nothing important. But you stayed and listened to his story anyway. It was spectacular. The way the boy described his adventures and dangers. Before you knew it, the sun had started to set. The boy had finished telling his stories and walked away, but quickly turned around to see you with a pained expression on your face. He immediately rushed over to your side and asked,
"Are you okay? Such a pretty girl shouldn't be making a face like that." After saying this he looked down. He looked regretful for a second. He had spotted your shackles. He knew you were a slave.
You ran away at full speed, buying the fruit that you had forgotten to buy earlier. You arrived back "home" and presented the fruit to your master. He wasn't pleased. No, not because the fruit weren't satisfactory, but because you had come back much later than scheduled. You were punished for your "imprudent" actions. Whipped, abused - they did everything they could to make you regret your actions. And you regretted them, because now you had more scars to live with every day. They had scarred you for life, literally.
That night - a while after you had gone to sleep, you were woken by the smell of smoke. What could it be? You opened your eyes to see your surroundings in flames. Had someone planned this? Or was it by accident? Either way, you knew you had to get out - maybe check to see if all the other slaves and your master were safe. But before you could reach the door, a large inferno blazed upon it. Then you heard from outside, "The master is dead!" You wanted to rush out. Were you free? But...
you couldn't get out. You were locked in. Realizing that you may not make it out alive, you desperately started to cry out for help. No one came.You laughed to and at yourself. 'Guess no one cares about me...,' you thought. Everything went black.
~~~
"-ou okay?! Are you okay?!" You heard someone yelling.
Eh?
There was one question on your mind, "Am I dead?" You looked up at the person beside you. It was the blond boy from the market earlier.
The boy shook his head, "No, you're alive." He smiled at you. "I'm relieved."
Oh.
Your heart jumped. What is this feeling? You ignored it. You noticed that your feet felt really light, so you looked at them. Your shackles were...shattered? How? Well, you didn't really care, because what caught your attention was the blond boy holding his hand out to you.
"I'm Alibaba! What's your name miss?"
"I'm...Y/N."
"Oh that's a nice name, Y/N. Well then Y/N, would you like to join me on my adventures?"
You looked up at him again, dumbstruck. But for a second you thought, 'This might not be too bad.' And so you took his hand, the hand that'll lead you to your own future.
And there, your greatest adventure and love began.
