Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem

[Subjugation: Force a contract upon those who were beaten by the entity; Quinlan Noir. There's a limit to how many entities can be subjugated within a time frame. Unlike with the simple Slave Contract spell, no medium in the form of collars are required. Willing participants can also be enslaved by Subjugation.]

The description even mentioned me by name, because just like the Primordial Villain class, it was a Unique rarity one, meaning only I could have it.

I had gained such incredible rewards this time around, and were it on any other occasion, I would've jumped with joy. Yet now, I just stared at the screen for a bit before sighing dejectedly. I didn't even feel like checking the unlockable spells of my new primordial class.

Things were very bleak inside my soul at the moment.

The memories of Iris wrecked me completely. It might be safe to say that I was a changed man, though at least I evidently managed to stay sane since I succeeded in the task which was literally 'Remain Sane'. Therefore, maybe I just needed a bit of time to recover from the immense mental trauma I was suffering from, or perhaps I would never become as cheery as I once was. Only time could tell.

…

It didn't take more than a minute for the four waiting primordials, namely: Luminara, Mearie, Dragnar and Karl, to see Quinlan's form emerge.

While it was just an incredible short while for them, they all understood that the power of the Soul Records were incomprehensible, so much so that diluting the passing of time was not out of its reach at all.

It was technically possible that Quinlan passed the test within a few seconds, but chances were that he spent a lot more time in there.

Nothing displayed it better than the man's sunken features. He was so… dejected. Sad. Pained.

"Quinnie!" His two mothers shouted as they rushed up to him. Their hearts were overjoyed for a moment due to the fact that their newfound son had passed the test, but once they took a better look at him, their minds began worrying.

Just what did he see that made his confident and cheerful demeanor change so badly?

They asked exactly this question while hugging him tightly.

He took a deep breath, sighed, and answered. "... I had to live through the life of a baby as she grew for many years, until the point in her life when she unlocked the Child of Agony class."

He didn't go into more details, but all four present could easily deduce what exactly happened in his trial.

"That's a bit too soon." Dragnar murmured. He believed that witnessing such a miserable life was beneficial for a primordial entity, but not a newborn. Quinlan was only a few months old, thus a myriad of mental issues could emerge in his young head that could cripple his future. He didn't approve of the Soul Record's challenge at all this time.

"Right! This is unfair!" Lumi shouted furiously.

"Are you fine, Quinnie?" Mearie asked worriedly. She was also beyond enraged, but his well-being was much more important right now.

"I-I don't know. I need some time to think."

"Come, you should sleep! We'll cook you a warm meal and make a comfortable bed for you to rest in." Lumi hurriedly began dragging him away by his hands.

…

- PoV: Quinlan -

I'm not gonna lie, the past week was simply amazing. If any army vet is suffering from PTSD, I recommend they get themselves two turbo-dedicated mommies who wish for nothing in life besides pampering him to the highest degree possible.

I wouldn't say that I have no lingering trauma, not at all, but they did a wonderful job in nursing my damaged mental health back from pure depression to a state where I could function without everything looking plain bleak.

I've also had some talks with the pair where I learned that a primordial should only gain their primordial class when they pass their first such test, which brought up the question of why I had two.

I received Primordial Villain very early on in my journey, which was a complete anomaly according to them. No primordial had ever received two primordial classes.

However, Villain was a strange class to begin with. It acted more like a hub for my evil classes than a usual class, but the Primordial Subjugator was very clearly an upgrade over the Slave Master class, which made it a normal one as far as primordial classes were concerned.

This also meant that the Soul Records believed me to be most acclimated to being a slaver as opposed to my other classes it could've upgraded, like how it upgraded Berserker for Dragnar back in the day.

Guess I'm officially the primordial who specializes in slavery.

Its innate spell, Subjugator, was a mighty one. It was a significant upgrade over the Slave Contract spell, which I refused to unlock because it would've cost me 10 Free Skill Points, and boy am I glad for my stinginess which prevented me from splurging on it. It would've been a complete waste now, since it was basically the extreme budget version of my new spell.

The fact that my slaves no longer needed to wear collars was an insane benefit. It will allow me to inject my completely obedient minions into the ranks of my enemies and no one will know about it. The drawback of me having a sort of limit in how many people I can subjugate before it goes on cooldown was an annoying one, though, but we'll have to see how limiting it is by live testing it, and the normal [Slave Contract] spell also faced similar limitations anyhow. This [Subjugation] spell was a clear upgrade in all areas.

I also checked the class for unlockable skills and was welcomed by a few good ones which I unlocked in a heartbeat.

[Overlord's Eyes: Watch the world from any of the class holder's subjugated underlings.]

A very useful spell, especially once I will have them going all over the world on difficult missions or if they see something hard to describe with words through our [Master's Link].

[Overlord's Sacrifice: When the Subjugator receives a fatal wound, all damage will be transmitted to his designated subjugated objects and he will be fully healed, but only if the targets can sustain the wounds. 24 hours cooldown.]

Definitely my favorite. I'm not keen on dying, so anything that helps me prevent death is amazing in my book, and this one does that magnificently. My understanding of the description is that I need multiple high HP slaves to take over my damage from me.

For example, if I had a single slave designated as my sacrificial pawn, and he only had 200 HP, he could only tank a bit of my sustained injuries and acclimated damage, thus I will either need to select lot's of nobodies or a few strong dudes.

[Overlord's Magnanimity: as long as the Subjugator is not engaged in combat, he can bolster the strength of his minions from any distance. The amount of boost provided depends on the Subjugator's personal strength.]

A good spell, especially for the future. Once we are done with the Consortium's Trials, my plan is to lay back a bit and enjoy life while working on my slave forces, stronghold plan, and just enjoy time with my ladies since I haven't seen them in over a decade, so it will be nice to support my future soldiers from afar while I'm balls deep in my ladies' fertile, moist kittens.

However, first, I will have to tank the bitch Selene's fire spell and defeat her, Cedric, Soren and his slave Lyra, as well as the remaining Phantom League members.

Let me just say that I have a strong suspicion that today will be the day when I will be officially making my entrance into the world of Thalorind as its Primordial Subjugator.
