143 Youre Actually... (1/2)

He instantly opened up the [Contract] option and saw—

[Shika Kagura]

[Beginner-level Spiritual Retainer, uncontracted]

[Special characteristics: Possesses a unique ability. Well-balanced type. High growth rates. Incredible potential]

[Available contract: Connectivity Contract.]

Seiji inspected the [Connectivity Contract] more closely.

According to his system’s explanation, a [Connectivity Contract] was a contract that would automatically become available when a potential retainer character’s connectivity rating to him exceeded 100. After both parties agreed to the contract, the retainer would change from [Uncontracted] to [Connectivity Contract] status, which would decrease his [Spiritual Power] stat by 10 in order to maintain. In return, 10 points would be produced every day, and the retainer’s abilities and growth would be greatly increased, with new abilities being awakened as well!

All this seemed quite good.

However, Seiji tugged his lips when he saw the next message.

[Contracting condition: Make the potential retainer into a contracted Spirit-branded Retainer in the real world.]

Although he was willing to contract Shika as his personal Spirit-branded Retainer, he wasn’t even a Yin Yang Master!

This thing wasn’t something he could use immediately. Why did such an option appear, anyway?

Seiji checked his system’s message history in order to understand what had happened.

Moments later, he understood.

After activating the [Spiritual Power Transference] ability, he had received a huge shock to his physical body… and while he was in a state of semi-unconsciousness, many things had happened.

The [Spiritual Power Transference] ability activated automatically and began transforming the [Karma of Reaper’s Curse] power into [Spiritual Power].

The system didn’t give any explanations for this so-called [Karma of Reaper’s Curse], but it was most likely referring to the abnormal catastrophes that were supposed to befall him as a result of approaching the [Reaper’s Curse].

This [Spiritual Power Transference] ability passively converted the [Reaper’s Curse] into his own [Spiritual Power]!

It also used up a portion of his stockpiled points as payment.

He was able to absorb 5 [Spiritual Power] in this conversion, costing him 25 points.

A ratio of 1:5… it was acceptable.

Seiji paid more attention to the fact that his dating sim system was able to transform the [Reaper’s Curse] ability into his [Spiritual Power], as it helped him to gain some insight into the system’s workings.

The first two options required a minimum [Spiritual Power] of 10 points to activate.

The [Contract] option also required 10 points in addition to a retainer character with a favorability or connectivity rating of above 100 to activate.

That was how he obtained these three options.

It was quite wonderful that his system wasn’t bugged.

Of course, the system didn’t reply and stayed silent as always.

Seiji quietly stared at his system’s menu as if he could pierce through it with his vision and see it for what it really was.

”According to Natsuya Yoruhana, the only person in history to ever successfully suppress the [Reaper’s Curse] was Seimei Kamijou, my ancestor. I… as Seimei Kamijou’s descendent, I have a mysterious and powerful system.

”This system has the ability to absorb and transfer power from the [Reaper’s Curse]. In conclusion… system… dating sim system, DS system, whatever I call you, you’re actually the strongest Yin Yang Master in history, Seimei Kamijou, aren’t you?” he stated his inference out loud in a light tone.

This was doubtlessly a shocking revelation.
