43 Contract & Gain (1/2)

Suddenly, a small drop of concentrated blood essence rose from the lion's corpse. Then, it was split into two equally smaller drops. The monster core in my hand sucked in one drop, while the other drop was sucked into me.

[A blood essence contract is being forced upon you!]

[However, with the help of the system you can choose whether to agree to it or forcefully refuse it]

['blood essence contract' lv.1 (Special)

Effect: you will absorb the Thunder lion's blood essence equally forming a contract of equal status

Clauses:

1. You will have to help the core achieve true birth once you are able to (a time limit of a week).

2. Your life would be interlinked together once the core fully develops.

3. You will receive '??????' from the Thunder lion in exchange.

Hidden Claus:

4. Once your intimacy is high enough, a master and pet relationship can be established.

Note: this contract will only take effect after the Thunder lion's conscious disperses.

Would you like to accept? (Y/N)]

'Gasp!'

After noticing the word 'Forced', I felt truly fragile. I was simply too weak to have a say in a contract made with a potent lv.100 blood essence.

Even though the contract didn't have that much malicious clauses and they were mostly in my favor, other than the interlinked life which seemed somewhat dangerous. Being forced to do something left a sour taste in my mouth.

Fortunately, I was reminded that I wasn't alone once more, I had the system with me. Although interacting with it was somewhat vague and it didn't have much effect on my surroundings, it still had the ability to interfere as long as it was limited to my own body.
