Whenever the red shadow opened its mouth, a voice resounded at the back of Jem Hansen's head. It seed like soone was whispering from behind him.
It sent shivers on him.
"G-guardian system?"
Subconsciously, Jem Hansen repeated the shadow's words.
[Yes, do you require power?]
"What is that?"
"What is a guardian system?"
"Wait, is this my hallucinations?"
"Am I dead?"
"Could it be… This entity in front of is the sovereign of the soul? The entity that governs all the departed soul that my grandpa used to tell when I was a child?"
...
Without giving regards on his confusions, the words repeated in his head.
"P-power?" He suddenly noticed the word.
After hearing it, Jem Hansen felt an urge to shout that he needed it. He wanted to obtain power. He wanted to beco stronger, even if it was a little.
"A-a contract?"
Jem Hansen had no idea what happened to him. He had no idea about his current situation. But he noticed a sinister smile appeared in the giant red shadow.
After that, the shadow that called as a guardian system or the trader started explaining to him his current situation. Or how the contract works and how the system works.
In the present, Jem Hansen was in the middle of hundreds of beasts swarming around him.
Sticky saliva was gushing out from their mouths, and their eyes were all red. The ground shook as they raced forward to gnaw the human in front of them.
However, the lying body of an unconscious human suddenly opened his eyes. The next second, an invisible force burst out from his body and pulverized the surrounding monsters around him.
Those white monsters with thick fur and two long fangs on their mouths were Rank B mutated beasts. But all of them died in the blink of an eye without letting them grief.
Not even those two Level 3 Recruit Ex-Human soldiers with them that ti could handle those monsters. It was also the reason why Jem Hansen was in a dire situation recently.
Their plan was to hunt low-tier mutated beasts around the river. It was near the entrance of the Desolate Region.
But one of the party mbers, Desty's classmate, disobeyed the soldier's warning. He crossed the river, and sothing happened after that led him to this situation.
A scenario happened in which one of them must be the sacrifice to help the others escape; In the end, they chose him as the unfortunate sacrifice. No, he couldn't even choose. They decided it out of consent.
Jem Hansen could not rember how many minutes, hours, or days had it been. He lost count of the ti after that. To escape from those beasts, he wandered around the Desolate Region to try to find a suitable place to hide.
However, it was futile; there was no safe place in the Desolate Region.
He could not rember how many tis he spat the word revenge while running away from the beasts.
He reached a point in which hunger and thirst accumulated inside him. He had to eat and drink all that he thought was edible.
In the Desolate Region, you couldn't say if it was day or night. Around it was just a foggy place. Dangers were lurking everywhere.
Although Jem Hansen was able to survive a little longer, in the end, he found himself surrounded by those monsters.
anwhile, he was standing alone in the sa place where he lost his consciousness, but a new determination was apparent on his face.
He glanced around and saw that it was empty. There was only him in this cave with green illumination coming from the mysterious crystals around it.
Jem Hansen was standing alone, but the other side of him was black, and the other side was himself.
For the contract to be effective and install the system on him, the guardian system asks him for sothing valuable to him that he could trade-off.
Hansen, who had nothing valuable at that mont, decided to trade half of his soul.
