ⓘ About William D. Arand
The Villains seem to be gaining popularity even after legalizing slavery and introducing all types of vices. People are happy that the economy is improving, and the crime rate has gone down, so they care little about anything else. With all the mess happening in the city, Felix accidentally buys himself a slave. When he realizes that this often happens to others, Felix decides to use his superpower to build and operate his slave company. For him, his business is better because he treats his slaves well, and they gain more from this arrangement than they give up. Soon enough, Felix is surrounded by beautiful women who would do anything that he likes, even though he has little to offer. This is a fun story featuring villains, heroes, and the main character with an odd superpower.
