Author’s Note:

The heroines Lawrence captures in the brothel have actually never sold their bodies. Whenever a client arrives at their residences, absolutely nothing happens. This is something that will only be revealed much later in the novel, at least beyond chapter 200 according to my script, and it’s connected to the synopsis of the story.

As an author, I don’t like giving spoilers, and I hope not to do it again. Anyway, I hope this helps make the novel easier for you to read.

“Good job, Mr. Lawrence, here is your payment.”

After counting his money, he nods and exits through the grand doors of the Unquenchable Fire Brothel. With a broad smile, he admires the landscape of this subspace, everything is beautiful here, like a fairy tale, yet it is more rotten than any place he has ever seen.

“It’s not that I care. As long as they keep paying me ten thousand gold coins a month, I am blind, deaf, and mute.”

This money is the same amount needed to sleep with one of those women and a hundred times the amount he used to earn as a demonic beast hunter.

Truly, this is a good job.

“All of them are talents who surpassed the Inferior Plane, huh.”

Once they had the world in their hands, they thought the same would happen after ascending to the Divine Plane, unaware that their fates would be very different in this place.

All the women have different circumstances for working in this place, but they all do so voluntarily. It is possible for them to stop working and retire, but outside, they will be monitored for life and prohibited from leveling up or leaving the Heavenly Path Kingdom. This is because… they simply know too much. They possess too much important information about the brothel and its clients.

Since the brothel will always know their location, there is a significant possibility that their past may come to light. If any of them wanted to start their life over from scratch without fear of their past being revealed, the only way to do so would be to escape all surveillance and lose the brothel’s trail. But saying it is much easier than doing it.

After walking straight ahead, he approaches the limits of the underground city. Surveillance at the borders of the subspace is rigorous, no one can enter or leave without the guards allowing it.

Lawrence is a well-known face, so he has no trouble doing so.

After returning to Agares City, he enters the residence where he is staying, opens a Dimensional Rift, and travels to the Inferior Plane. In his mansion, he casually walks to the cellar and retrieves a bottle of wine.

“Dragon’s Breath, this bottle costs seven months’ pay…”

With reluctance, he sighs and stores the bottle in his storage ring, he will need it tomorrow.

“This…”

One of the men in charge of the internal affairs of the Unquenchable Fire Brothel reads the letter delivered by Lawrence, after verifying it with one of his colleagues, confirms its authenticity.

“According to what is written, Lawrence, you can choose a woman of your choice.”

Smiling arrogantly, Lawrence takes the book of newly recruited women from the brothel and evaluates its contents page by page.

‘There are some very talented prostitutes this year.’

From the book, about twenty women possess extraordinary innate abilities, the kind of talent not seen in centuries, even millennia. Abilities that by themselves are capable of facing thousands of enemies and emerging victorious in the act, it’s a shame they have become prostitutes.

“Choosing among them is difficult…”

One of the women possesses the ability Absolute Mastery, whether it’s a spellbook or a weapon, as long as it is in her possession she can instantly unleash all its potential. Another woman has the ability Celestial Theft, while she kills a person of her same species, she can steal one of their abilities.

All of them possess talents of the same caliber, with advantages and disadvantages, but extraordinary no matter where you look.

But among them, one particularly caught his attention.

“Omniscient View.”

All the abilities and talents of the other women are spectacular, but once reaching level 999 they will not be much use.

Only Omniscient View is different.

If this woman reached level 999, she simply would have no equal.

“I want her.”

Licking his lips, he closes the book and makes use of his privilege.

“Good morning, Miss Serene Will.”

“Who are you? No one should interrupt me today.”

Without looking back, Serene Will uses her mana perfectly, generating a chaotic pressure on the man who just arrived.

But unexpectedly this pressure does not affect him at all.

She is surprised, ‘He’s not a servant? Then…’

“From now on I will be your dao protector.”

She squints in response, ‘dao protector? I’ve heard that term more than once, but I don’t know what function it serves.’

“I am not your servant, rather I was hired to help you.”

“Speak up and get out of here, scum.”

Without changing his expression at the insult, Lawrence explains: “My job is to ensure your mental state. In other words, you can consider me your confidant–“

“Get out!”

A fork flies directly toward the position of Lawrence’s neck, which would mean death for any servant, but not for him.

A simple step aside was enough to dodge her attack.

“Did they hire someone to be friendly with me? You’re just trash here for the money! Get lost!”

All the objects in the living room turn into sharp weapons as soon as she controls them with her mana, each aimed at ensuring Lawrence’s death. But when they all fall to the ground, he remains standing, unscathed.

“I will be in the yard if you want to talk.”

“Enough! Do not speak to me, scum!”

Her aggressive attitude takes effect, the man with black hair and pronounced dark circles leaves her residence and sits on a rock in the backyard. This causes Serene Will to directly close all the curtains, not even wanting to see his shadow.

+++

“The residence of this woman is quite elegant, the big shots who frequent her must be very important.”

At that very moment he sees Serene Will close all the windows and curtains of her home. Lawrence had to contain the urge to laugh at this.

“It will be interesting to see this woman fall.”

Serene Will is a human woman, with a long jet-black braid reaching her waist, she has a mole on her left breast. She is beautiful, very much so. But what is most special in her is the ability with which she was born, an ability that brought her to the Divine Plane without anyone being able to obstruct her path.

Days later.

“Are you not tired of coming to bother day after day? I told you, I will not speak with a scum of a man who comes to pretend in front of me!”

Then she closes the door in Lawrence’s face.

He does not dare to reveal his anger, just walks to the backyard of Serene Will’s residence and sits in front of the sliding windows. Seconds later she appears and is surprised to see him.

“Hello again”

With disdain on her face, Serene Will closes the curtains.

Clenching his teeth, Lawrence sighs internally. ‘Just wait, they’ve all fallen before me, and you won’t be the exception!’

For a month, these events repeat over and over, Serene Will is a proud woman. Lawrence’s advances mean nothing to her, he is no different from the other trash!

“What have you done in your life so far?”

The insults towards Lawrence grow worse.

“They pay you to talk to prostitutes, does it make you happy that they trust you, filthy? Outside of this place, you are nobody, none of the women here would say a word to you. And do you know why?”

The disdain and arrogance still inhabit her being.

“Because trash like you has no future, you will never be someone in life.”

‘This is why none of the dao protectors of Unquenchable Fire let these women know their work, because they all behave this way upon knowing I’m paid to listen to them.’ Lawrence silently accepts all the insults from this woman while continuing to think. ‘But still, I did it, I had to do it, it was the only method.’

“Trash! Get out of here!”

‘Because unlike those guys, I am a professional.’

Two months have passed since then, Serene Will’s guard has never decreased. On the contrary, every time she had a bad day she took it out on Lawrence.

“Acacia Kingdom, Lobreguez City. Happy? Now leave as you promised.”

Although not all news is bad, taking advantage of her anger, Lawrence got a response from her.

For others, knowing Serene Will’s place of birth may be useless, but not for him.

+++

Inferior Plane.

“If it’s about my level, it should take no more than a few days to go around the map. No matter how far that Acacia Kingdom is, I can get there.”

On the balcony of his mansion, Lawrence looks into the distance and smiles. For a level 439 like him, traveling through the Inferior Plane is easy.

“Acacia Kingdom? I’m sorry sir, I have not heard of such a kingdom.”

“Then, could you tell me about any kingdom with great military power?”

“Of course, in the west I know there are two great kingdoms fighting each other. The battles that arise are epic, worthy of being written in books.”

“I see, take this as thanks.”

“This… This is too much I couldn’t– Ah, he’s gone…”

Why is Lawrence so polite despite being in a plane where everyone is frogs in a well? It is because he has lived in an evil sect for a long time.

The world always has two sides of the same coin, on the outside it may seem weak, but as once the Forbidden Area caused him terror, no one can assure him that there is no being safeguarding the harmony between the two planes.

There have been children with the Dimensional Rift ability for countless eras, isn’t it strange that until now the balance has been maintained? Lawrence inherited the will of the evil sect to control the Inferior Plane, but not now.

He doesn’t want to be the frog in the well.

A middle-aged woman listens to his question and scratches her head, “Acacia Kingdom? Did such a kingdom exist?”

After two weeks of searching, he has not reached his destination.

“What is happening? How can the Inferior Plane be so vast?”

In the Divine Plane, there are portals that can transport people long distances, but the journey he has traveled in the Inferior Plane should be sufficient to acquire information concerning the limits of the world.

At least, so it would be for the Divine Plane, but is communication in the Inferior Plane so backward? Impossible, despite not having the same technology, this distance should be enough here and anywhere.

The only possible explanation is that the Inferior Plane… is larger than the Divine Plane. It took Lawrence two months of travel to reach Acacia Kingdom, this confirmed his theory.

The Inferior Plane is not as simple as it seems.
