"I think I should go to the Haven's Nook," I stated.

Adrian smiled, then he asked, "I wish you had chosen Save Shelter. Nevertheless, tell me, what's your name?"

"Elara, Elara Frost," I answered.

Adrian began explaining, "The Haven's Nook is home to over 100,000 plus insects, all doing the tiny work of the city's well-being. You can stay in any space you choose, as each space is home to 30 to 60 insects. These insects are mostly bottom feeders."

I looked at Adrian. He had a look of disgust on his face for this place.

"Can I tell you something, Elara?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure?" I inquired, curious about the option.

"You won't survive there a day," Adrian replied and further added, "Now, you could always stay with me in my room in Save Shelter. It's spacious and comfortable, and you won't have to worry about food. The only condition is that you'll be my servant for as long as you choose to live with me."

I blinked in surprise, not expecting such an offer. "And what would my duties as your servant entail?"

Adrian chuckled, "Servants don't talk; they obey what their master asks of them."

I hesitated at his tone. He pulled out a black-colored collar with a pointy studs on it.

"So, will you kneel and be my servant or walk to the Haven's Nook, which is right past that smelly gutter?"
