The Ally was empty and nobody entered it for so reason. Shen Yu was the only one who just sat there in silence. mories of his past life playing in his mind like a tape recorder.
However, he didn't dismiss them and watched them with focus. He always avoided them, ran away from them. Now, he was accepting it.
His past couldn't be changed unless he wanted to erase himself. Sam was right. His past made who he was, otherwise he was just a plane existence.
That was why he was now going through the mories of his ti spent with Sam. It wasn't much as they were separated soon after they t, but that ti still had the happiest monts of his life.
He watched everything, including how Sam was captured because of him and how his head was placed to warn everyone.
His body trembled but he persisted. He spent almost an hour going through those mories and spent another hour to get his emotions right.
In the past, he might not have been able to get his emotions. But he had worked on himself and improved a lot. Now, he could take things head on and not run from it.
Shen Yu sighed and stood up, still having the two gold coins in his hand. He looked at them one more ti and stored them in his personal storage ring.
There was no major change in him, but he was now just stronger in ntality. His soul was also now more solid than before, as if it has gone so change, while remaining the sa.
He turned invisible and flew high above the slums, looking down at it with an indifferent gaze.
"I'm pathetic, ain't I?"
[In so ways, but not really. You would be pathetic if you didn't fix your problems and improve and run away instead. But you are improving and I can see it clearly, isn't that the reason I'm still with you? If you were pathetic I would have long abandoned you.]
Shen Yu smiled, and said.
"Thanks. You really are sothing, aren't you? You were always there for , from the start. You are the only who actually saw my lowest and the few improvents I had. You even supported ."
[Don't ntion it, Master. This is what the systems are for. Take us as a Shadow. A shadow can't exist without a master...well, even if it did due to so miracles, it would be incomplete. We are the sa and are incomplete without the Hosts.]
Shen Yu felt his heart relaxing, hearing the system. He had a new wonderful life now, but he knew the one closet to him was still the system. Without it, he wouldn't even have survived.
After all, it was there for him when he ntally broke. And no power could resolve that.
[We are also always searching for a proper Host. You know, when we actually bind with hosts, it's just a temporary one. As you have guessed from my previous talks, we can kill our Host after that temporary binding ends. Actually, I'll need to go in too much detail to actually explain this.]
"Is it related to the reason the systems were made?"
Shen Yu asked, already having a few guesses but he didn't ask as he knew the system couldn't tell him those secrets and he would be forcing it if he asked.
[Yes. Well, it's sort of test. That's all I can say and you have passed in every one of them. I would have offered you the Main contract long ago but you were not complete. You were running away from your own past but now it's different. So, Master, would you like to sign a permanent contract with ?]
Shen Yu was dumbfounded and asked, after a few seconds of complete silence, "Is there any difference from what we currently have?"
[There are many changes and the main one among them is that your life determines mine. If you get erased from existence than I would also be erased from existence. But don't worry, it doesn't work other way.]
"Wait! Wait! Why would you actually sign sothing like that?" Shen Yu was truly confused on this.
[Don't worry, Master. For you this may be weird but for us Systems, it's an honor to have a worthy Master. Haven't you noticed how I have been calling you Master instead of Host? I've accepted you long ago.]
Shen Yu was surprised and didn't know what to say. Now that he thought about it, it was true. In the novels he had read, the systems called their user Host, but his system had been calling him Master.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure there is no harm for you in this?"
[No, Master. I'm really happy that you're thinking so much for , but you should know that I've been waiting for this for quite a while. I want to beco one with Master, so can you allow this re servent to beco your life long partner?]
"Don't say like that. Haah! Sure, it'll be my pleasure to have you as my partner."
Shen Yu smiled and nodded. He then rembered sothing and asked.
"Wait! What is your na? Or do you even a gender in the first place?"
[Fufu! Master is already thinking of having under you?]
Shen Yu choked on air and turned speechless. When had the system learned to actually tease him?
[Haha, I love that expression. As for your question, Master. No, I don't have any na as we're supposed to be based on shadows and shadow don't have any nas until they are bound to their Masters. So, you will be the one to give my na.] -unofficial-text
Shen Yu thought about it and asked.
"That's good, but I need to know your gender to actually na you."
[I'm a femboy.]
Shen Yu rolled his eyes, getting used to the playful nature of the system. In fact, he actually liked this side of it as it ant that they were now closer than ever.
"Shut up and tell the truth."
[What do you want to be, Master?]
