Side Story: A Day in the Life of H-Class Master Kaiu

My name's Kaiu. 54 years old, H-Class Master. H-Class life is harsh, so few make it to 60, they say.

By that count, I've already spent the better part of my life.

At 16 I fell to H-Class, life's grave, and I've spent nearly triple that span here since…

Well, H-Class life isn't bad once you get used to it.

There are 2 things an H-Class Master should do. Actually, in the end, just 1: ejaculate semen.

Even our trash-tier slave-Master semen apparently contains magic.

They gather it up and make magic-supply medicine. That apparently sells for quite a high price.

So this sperm farm is both our residence and our workplace.

… Well, only a pittance trickles down to us slave Masters.

Good-quality semen reportedly fetches 10 silus, but usually 2-3 silus. Bad batches, 1 silus… pushing past your limits, watery semen, 0. Trash-rated. That's a waste of stamina. So even on good days I cap at 4 a day. Normally I set 3 a day as my quota. About 10 silus a day in earnings.

Among H-Class Masters, I'm on the higher-earning end, I think.

H-Class Master doesn't mean hellish packed-room living.

If you ask for it, you can get a private room. But more want the common room.

Why? Because:

• Private room… a private space of your own. About 1 tatami. Rent 1 silus a day. Meals 1 silus per. Toilet and bath shared.

• Common room… about 8-12 H-Class share one Garumon, free to do as you please. Rent 2 silus a day. Meals 1 silus per.

So unless you're an oddball who loves solitude, most prefer the common room.

When you want to be alone, you can move to a private room for a fee. Pretty flexible.

I live in the common room now.

Our room's Garumon, Myuubi, is value-85. Smallish eyes, pockmarked face, dark skin, small breasts, and a strange smell — but cute, in her way.

Garumon value 80-99 reportedly have the lowest market value.

Middling ugly Garumon like that end up in common rooms like this.

… These Garumon also benefit from being held by us slaves in the common room.

Have sex an absurd amount and magic builds up in their bodies, gradually making them more beautiful.

About 1 value per year is the slow pace, but Myuubi was value 80 five years ago, so her value's definitely up.

Come to think of it, the pockmarks on her face have decreased too. Seems there's a real effect.

If she reaches value 100, there might even be a buyer for her.

Then there's when she's pregnancy-ready — that's different too.

No matter how low-value, plenty of Masters want to impregnate a Garumon and have a child.

A pregnancy-ready Garumon, even a low-value one, has the best chance of fetching a high price.

If she has a child, there's no fear of being sold until the kid enters school 6-7 years later.

It's the bottom-tier Garumon's chance to rise.

That way, I've sent off a fair number of common-room Garumon over the years.

Made beautiful by my semen, or made pregnancy-ready, they'd surely be grateful.

Sprawled lazily, absorbed in some trashy book — that's Myuubi.

When my turn came, I slipped it in fast, thrust fast, finished fast.

Time including cleanup is 10 minutes max. Go a second over and the others kick you.

Factoring in cleanup, ejaculation at 7 minutes for max enjoyment. Perfect.

The suction device drew up the semen (this also takes getting used to — be rough and the woman kicks you… H-Class HP is 0, so it's instant life-or-death).

Operated the System, put it up for sale…3 silus secured. Nailed it.

Then I just had to rest until my next turn.

The common room having abundant manga, novels, games, and other time-killers is nice.

Othello, shogi, cards…

Matches with the roommates get heated. Well, gambling can run hot and the losses can pile up.

When you profit, the System takes tax from your gains; when you lose, the whole amount is taken — truly stupid, but gambling is fun. Can't help oneself.

The food's not bad either.

Taste's decent and nutrition's plentiful. Eat, sex… time-killing games… sex… games… sex… eat, sleep. That's the day.

How about it — dreamlike, good living, right?

What if you're in a private room?

Then you self-pleasure with a fap-aid in hand. The aids are pretty plentiful too. Most popular is sexy Garumon pinups. Even just pinups, higher-rarity Garumon pinups get eye-popping expensive. HR-Class is 1G, and every rarity up multiplies by 10.

UR-Class, with just nude pics that don't even show pussy, 1000G — ridiculous.

So in our circle, the guy with HR-Class pinups is god. Most guys compete at R-Class.

… Me, having been here this long. My pride is owning one HR.

Show it to a newcomer and he ends up respecting me.

… That's our day-to-day when no customers come.

When customers do come, it's totally different. Let me explain that now.

"You lot, customer tomorrow."

When that's said, that day's work ends. We rest up thoroughly to prepare for tomorrow.

That day, tension from morning on. But, well, expectations are usually betrayed.

Value-60 Garumon, Gijiru. She was today's partner.

She was bad. A bit, well, dangerously bad.

Bad, but it couldn't be helped. This too was work.

I closed my eyes, pinched my nose, and did it in one go.

If I hadn't, I'd just have been whipped in punishment.

If you put your mind to it, you can do it with anyone.

I solidly handled my quota of 3 loads.

… With that alone, today's earnings came to 20 silus. Not bad.

There are Masters who want to impregnate Garumon like that? Wide world out there…

Well, that's our H-Class Master role. Garumon in this world are damn hard to impregnate.

After dozens, hundreds of sex sessions, the body begins to glow and they finally reach pregnancy-ready.

A single Master doing that many times is rough. That's where we come in.

We slave Masters take turns thoroughly to make them pregnancy-ready. The cost is unclear to me, but rumor has it impregnating a value-100 Garumon costs 100G, with 10G added per value-point below that.

… That means 500G!? Spending that kind of money to impregnate a Garumon like that one… seriously?

Unbelievable…!

… Well, today was a dud, but for this pregnancy-readying, some pretty high-class rare Garumon do come.

For just getting pregnancy-ready, our slave semen works fine. Nobles use the service rarely.

The most I've taken is an R-Class.

Aaah…

She was a supreme woman, drool-inducing.

Garumon around value 50-79 are very popular with G-Class Masters. They're cheap to lose, and the ugly looks aren't unbearable. These come pretty often. Well, they're the dud bracket.

Value 30-49 and G-Class Master demand drops. "Don't bring such gross things over," they're disliked.

But then the freak-show demand rises.

This level of freakishness comes occasionally. Mega-dud, worst case.

Value 20 and below, apparently there's some intense freak-show industry.

There are various breeding methods to produce freaks among freaks, so we slave Masters rarely see them. Rare, oddly.

But it's not all duds. Value 100+ apparently costs less than 100G. So Garumon up to HN-Class do come surprisingly often.

100 and below, around 100, 100 and above — each about 1/3.

For 100+, the payment we get is a pittance, but it's the best chance to have sex with good women we normally couldn't.

Everyone gladly takes the job.

But rumor on the wind says some eccentrics bring high-rarity supreme Garumon to this lowest sperm farm.

Apparently there are quirky Masters who get unbearably excited watching their Garumon get taken by us bottom-tier guys.

Workplaces favored by such Masters are the ultimate heaven for us H-Class slaves!

… Well, where such an ultimate sperm farm might be, we slaves wouldn't know. Just urban legend.

Geez, if such a thing existed, it'd be the best…

I had dreams and hopes once, you know. School grades 3rd, with an SR-Class — amazing Garumon — as my slave. Hard to believe, right?

Eida… she was a good woman. Never in my life have I made a woman that good mine.

… But, I lost my first battle and… it all ended.

Without doing a single erotic thing I'd planned with Eida… in the disoriented confusion, I lost the other 2 HR-Class flanking her, Uina and Meina, just like that…

Before I knew it, nothing was left in my hands. From there I couldn't climb back up, and the next thing I knew I was H-Class…

Well, that's how it is. My life…

… But a miracle happened.

"Pleasure."

A crane in a dump heap. An unbelievably beautiful woman came. A peerless beauty with shining golden hair.

… The miracle they say occasionally happens. It happened even in this backwater sperm farm.

And what's more, this was…

"Eida… isn't that Eida?"

"… Oh, you… ahaha, it's Kaiu. Hilarious!"

So Eida laughed.

"Heh… right after that, 3 straight losses and straight to H-Class. Ahaha, pathetic."

"Ah, hia, aaah…"

I writhed at Eida's overwhelming pleasure. Wh-what is this, this is SR-Class! I-I lost the chance to have sex with this woman…

I'd thought my life was pretty fine. Surprisingly fun — that's what I'd thought.

But truly, I… I too, holding a good woman like this, fighting cool like a hero, playing the great role, someday…

I'd dreamed of that, yet somewhere… it'd all changed.

"You had no talent. I've met a good Goshujin-sama now.

He's D-Class and a bit of a cheapskate, but he calls me cute. Says he'll knock me up. Like a dream… I'm super happy.

Glad I got away from a no-talent Master like you.

… Now, prepare properly. So I can be ready to be impregnated with my Darling's child."

"U… oh, ooooh!"

Dokutt dokutt doku!

I shot with everything I had. Hot, intense… and…

Pika…

Eida's body began to glow.

"Oh, you did it. Thanks, Kaiu. Meeting you at the end was kinda funny."

"… Uoh, oh, oooo! Originally, I-I was supposed to impregnate you…!"

"Eh, hey… what're you doing!"

BAKI!

I tried to leap at Eida, and Eida hit me.

… Consciousness fading. My neck bone… snapped. Yeah, naturally. We H-Class have HP 0, after all.

Anger a Garumon and dying instantly is a given…

"Esteemed customer, our deepest apologies for the trouble our slave caused…"

"Damn right. I'll tell Darling about this."

"Sincere apologies, sincere apologies…"

The manager who normally orders us around prostrating in dogeza, apologizing.

… Hahaha, serves you right…

"… Tch, totally lost it. Well, was he over 60 already? Time to call it…"

Hey wait, I'm only 54. I can still go, still go…

…

One month later. There I was, vigorously thrusting my hips.

Well, we H-Class Masters don't have System grace like HP.

We get wounded, we get sick. Strange illnesses spread, mass die-offs happen.

Wounds we have to heal ourselves. As long as we don't die, things work out.

… And my bragging story gained one more.

I've held an SR-Class woman, you know? Name's Eida. She was a damn good woman, felt the best! … That kind of thing. The H-Class trash look at me with respect.

Feels truly good.

… How to escape this H-Class? Ah, I know.

… Save up 400G.

If you put your mind to it, 10 silus a day, 1G in 10 days, so 4000 days of effort gets you 400G.

First buy back your status for 100G. With that you can return to G-Class anytime.

So 100G is enough? With no Garumon, you can't meet the 1-battle-a-week quota needed to stay G-Class, so within a week you're back to H-Class. That's an idiot's move.

Well, if you dream of grabbing a free Garumon in that one week and rising up, do as you like.

With 100G you can pull the gacha. Pull it with that.

With 1 Garumon, you absolutely can't beat a G-Class Master who has 3. So 3.

Of course what comes out is trash Garumon around value 70-110. And LV 1. Long-time G-Class veterans all have LV10 Garumon. No way to win.

… But that's fine. N-Class LV rises fast. After 2 battles they're definitely LV10.

After 1 battle, even losing, you get: LV5, LV5.

After 2 battles: LV10.

Here. Here, you challenge to a one-on-one between LV10s.

Win that and a path opens. 2 LV10 Garumon.

And win one more time… 3 LV10 Garumon.

You can fight properly at G-Class. Of course, from there too there'll be agonizing struggles like beating HN-Class with N-Class Garumon.

But Masters who climbed back up that way exist. An A-Class guy named Rudis.

He was tricked by his best friend and fell to slave status.

But from there he climbed back through tenacity.

Brought down righteous hammer on the betrayer, and now he's A-Class, reportedly.

He's called the ex-slave hero…

Well, in the end he's different from us, a separate breed.

He's not the kind of guy who should've fallen to slave status to begin with. Natural outcome.

People who shouldn't fall, even if they fall, naturally climb back up.

… Most slaves fall because they were meant to.

… Hnah? … Ah. Me too… once, just once.

That Rudis guy, he came here. When we were both kids.

Same age as me, so we got close.

But he didn't rot like me. He taught me that strategy I described.

… And within a year he saved up money and left here.

Seeing him succeed, I… misunderstood and thought I could too.

Single-minded saving… I couldn't multiply money fast through gambling like he did, so plodding along it took me 8 years.

And…

Hah.

… Well, 3 losses and back to H-Class.

Besides me, sometimes other guys make their all-or-nothing leave too.

But most return embarrassed.

8 years… no, some over 10 years, enduring and enduring… finally getting out, then back inside a week.

… Stupid guys. Should've never dreamed in the first place.

Life here really isn't bad. Eat, sleep, kill time, have sex — that's enough…

Anyone who'd toss this dreamlike life is an idiot.

… Sure, once you know the taste of SR — a woman that good — this life can look colorless any number of times.

Sometimes I want to cry for no reason.

If SR is that good, what the hell would above be? Can't even imagine.

… But if you can't imagine, that's fine. My world is fine like this. Inside this packed room, just doing what feels good and what's fun…

Hahaha…
