67 The pact 2 (1/2)

” I am not sulking, I am thinking about ways to pay you back”

” While I do act like the voice in my head never said anything, I wanted to ask you why you have appeared in front of me in the first place? It must have been something quite important if you decide to blow the cover you had created for yourself.

' Even though the reason is of great importance, me appearing in front of you was not caused by the necessity of the situation, but the fact that the whole server is currently being updated. Those changes are necessary for the upcoming event. '

'Your help is required for this update.'

So what's in it for me?

' I am perplexed just now you spent all that time bickering and the instance you start talking to me you are jumping straight to the point. Why do you act that way?'

It is quite simple, the main reason is that you only appear in front of me, when the situation calls for it, so I am not going to waste any second with you to useless small talk. The reason for the previous bickering was to ensure that I do not leave any potential risks behind in my body. As much as I do not know about the creature living inside of me, I certainly do how important it was for me standing here.

So it was important for me to understand his personality and his agenda, to see where it aligns with mine and to find a common ground to work with. But in your case, there exist neither dependence nor reason that forces us to work together. That is why I am not beating around the bush and asking for the terms of cooperation directly.

” You son of a...”

Not now you can cuss at me, whenever you want in the future but right now this is quite important to me, so please do not interrupt the conversation.

' The more I see and talk to you, the more I am intrigued to see and witness your former world.'

This is something neither you or I can achieve, so we should stick to the main business.

' My offer is that I enable your status once again, allowing this world to strengthen your body even further. Furthermore, the release of status would allow you to enjoy the benefits of the titles you receive. '

Wait, you mean those achievements, that you made to make fun of me.

” No, I did not make those achievements, but the titles you were awarded with where thanks to me. ”

I do not get the purpose of such a system, if this world should be a training ground, then why would this place integrate those stats?I see no reason to implement such a system that would strengthen their body just for this world. Especially if those stats do not carry over into their real world. Having the strength to kill a monster in this world, does not equate to actually do so in their real world, with their real body.

I mean if someone was willing enough to spend all his points and strengthened his or her body, would they not be able to reach my level of strength sooner or later? If I remember correctly the categories one could put points in were strength, mana, endurance, faith or health.

' In theory yes someone could get stronger than you, but at first, you must understand how the system works.Every player is connected by this world by a tool we call despiritalizer. It transfers your spirit and connects it to a projection out of data for this world. That is why a player is able to respawn while you will die because in the moment of death the spirit gets removed from the data and only connects again once the body has been remodelled.

'All this happens, while their real bodies are out of harms danger. In case of a level up, this transfer tool allows us to strengthen their body the way they want. If a player would choose to put points in strength, then the ´despiritalizer would then force the mana in your body to stimulate your muscles and strengthen your body. But of course, your faith and capacity for magic still will massively influence the result of it.'

'Each god you worship will lead your magic to develop different qualities, one might make your body invulnerable to cold or strengthen your ability to run. Therefore there is no general way to know exactly what kind of impact it might have. That is why we are giving the choice to the players themselves because they know what is best for their body.'

Okay, that might explain why such a system would be implemented, but I have no idea how this is of any use to me. My whole being cannot coexist with magic. so how could my body get strengthened through magic? It is the total opposite magic is being converted to fit me and strengthen my body.

' You are missing one critical element, maybe you will see what I mean after looking at your current stats.'
