Extra's Revenge: Reincarnated As A Slave-Chapter 58: Scheming (Part 2)

’Not only do I not have the strength to be a player in this grand scheme, I run the risk of being a pawn that will only be sacrificed in the end. It’s too risky!’

Rey constantly had this thought.

Thus, his best shot at preserving his life was to escape as early as he could.

But he had to take his time.

Thankfully, events were moving according tk his expectations.

Logan became a lot more predictable now that Rey knew his intentions, which allowed him to play him as a fiddle.

Because of this, Rey was finally able to obtain a Low Sequence Curse Technique he could use to undo his slave status.

It was a simple Sequence 8 method from the Association Technique.

—Title Weakening.

’The slave contract used for me had a low quality, and although it covered a lot of loopholes, it is still susceptible to low-sequence interference. This is especially the case now that the Curse Imprint has drastically reduced. With this Association Technique, I can eliminate my title as Slave, even if I can’t get rid of his Title as my Master.’

Speaking of the convenience of this method, Rey was actually a little skeptical of the ease.

It felt too easy.

At first he even suspected that Logan was trying to trick him. However, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense to him.

In the end, slave contracts were common.

They were readily available for commercial use—especially within Noble circles—and the one Logan got was something along those lines.

Augustus was miserly, so Rey wasn’t surprised that he spent so little to obtain a slave contract.

This decision of his ended up reflecting on the quality of the contract itself.

’It’s also for the sake of convenience. If the Master wishes to sell the slave to someone else or relinquish ownership, he can easily do so with a Low Sequence Technique.’

Amara could even do so on her own, though it wouldn’t go well with her family.

Nobles followed rules, after all.

In fact, the Sequence 9 of that Technique, called Name Blur, could also free Rey if he had a name and it was registered in the contract. But since he was nameless and simply bore the title of slave, he had to resort to Sequence 8. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Rey now understood these things.

And because he understood them, he could finally implement his long-awaited plan.

After much scheming, he was finally ready.

’Augustus felt so guilty for his inactions that he didn’t even question or observe my actions with the sex slaves I already had awakened. It made my process easier...’ Rey smiled to himself as he sat in the garden. ’Now, all that I have to do is somehow indirectly teach the few compatible slaves I have selected this Technique and indirectly free myself.’

As for how this slave of his would be indirectly taught this Technique, Rey already had a solution.

’I took a few pages from your notes, Logan. I already started manipulating them, conditioning them to believe I favor them above all else and wish for them to be free...’

Rey had even gone as far as telling them details of his own slave contract, making it appear as though he was being vulnerable to them and that he was also a victim.

This step had already been completed.

He already saw these slaves of his growing very empathetic towards him.

Their emotions were genuine, but this didn’t surprise Rey. He made sure to choose very young and underdeveloped candidates to be his slave.

They were very easy to manipulate.

’Amara still hasn’t returned tk the manor. I worry about her wellbeing, but it’s good that she isn’t here...’ Rey smiled to himself. ’She might have complaints if she saw me getting underage sex slaves and even killing some of them to cover my tracks.’

It wasn’t that Rey really cared so much about Amara, but... there was a complex attachment in his heart.

One he couldn’t completely explain.

’At least she will likely not be here when the crisis eventually hits this Household. I don’t know the details on how she is daring, but I know she is alive.’

That was more than enough for Rey.

As for the rest of his plan involving the slaves, he would be implementing it soon.

"I will have them ’accidentally’ discover this Curse Technique while they are preparing my room for me. They’ll know that I can’t free myself, so they will work very hard to learn this and free me. Since they think I really care about them, they will think that I will free them after I am free, since they also cannot free themselves. Hehe..."

Now, there was a reason Reg couldn’t free them first. His Slave contract was simply more sophisticated than theirs, and it restricted him from freeing any slave.

Thus, they would think that by freeing him... they would be guaranteeing their own freedom as well.

Stupid people.

They had no idea Rey was simply manipulating them.

’I have pre-emptively imprinted these suggestions in their head. It will almost be like instinct once I make them.discover this way out, and they’ll believe they came up with this idea themselves.’

After they helped him, of course he would have to kill them.

He couldn’t afford them compromising his methods, and they weren’t talented enough for him to effectively utilize.

’Their sacrifices will not be forgotten, though.’

He smiled wickedly.

There was a time in his life when he was kind and innocent—unwilling to even take a life.

That idea felt like fiction to him now.

’Anything to achieve my goals!’ He firmly told himself without letting go of his resolution.

Rey didn’t know how long it would take these slaves of his to learn this single low Sequence Technique, but since there were three of them, he didn’t expect it to take more than a few months.

And this was a late estimation.

If he were to be generous or even realistic, it could happen sooner.

’Early January, next year... I think that’s when it’ll happen.’ Rey laughed heartily and felt a sense of fulfillment within him.

Freedom was near.
