Chapter 13：First Step Into a Different Future (2) (1/2)

'It's finally come to this, the hardest part...'

Jeremy thought to himself.

”But... I have a way out for you and your family members...” Jeremy suddenly said interrupting the agonizing thoughts of losing their loved ones.

After hearing that, Charlotte and Owen raised their heads and were looking at Jeremy with hope. Like they had suddenly found an oasis after walking in a desert for a whole month.

”Really?” Charlotte asked with hope written all over her face.

”What is it? Please tell me.” Owen seemed to be begging for the answers.

When Jeremy saw their reactions, he felt that his convincing words from earlier were bearing their fruits.

”First, the 2 of you calm down and then listen to my terms carefully.”

The 2 of them nodded their heads hastily for fear that Jeremy might change his mind.

”I can convince your family members and tell them about the incoming dangers that would befall humanity, and also how to survive them. But you and everyone who know about those things must agree to my terms and conditions.”

Speaking until here, Jeremy paused for a bit to let them digest the information. After seeing that they nodded their heads in agree with his words, he continued.

”The first condition is, everyone who knows about tutorials and Ortus must keep them as a secret. The second condition is, everyone whether it be you or your families must join my 'organization' and become my subordinates. Don't worry, I won't treat you and your families unfairly. You have my words. And the last condition is, do not betray me, no matter what.”

”Those are all of the terms. Also, everyone must willingly receive Oath Runes. You may just think of it as a contract that you have to act in accordance with. Now, you guys should think about those terms carefully and give me your answers... You too, Samuel, this also includes you.”

When Jeremy had finished speaking, he waited for the three of them to decide. In fact, he already knew the answers, but he had to wait for the three's resolutions.

Not long after, after she had done pondering, Charlotte turned her face to Jeremy and looked directly into his eyes.

”Do you really promise to treat everyone fairly, Jeremy?”

”I promise.” Jeremy answered.

”Okayyyy! Then I agree. I love you so much Jeremy!!”

Hearing the words from Charlotte, Jeremy smiled back with an approval nod. Then he turned his head to Owen who was still in his thought.

*Sigh*

Owen sighed...

”I actually don't have a choice, why am I even bothering about those terms... I agree.”

At last, Owen agreed.

”Well, I also agree. It sounds really fun to be able to live in another world, right? Who am I to refuse that, hahaha.”

After seeing that there was no problem with those terms and conditions. They might even benefit from it instead, Samuel also agreed enthusiastically.

Seeing that everyone had agreed to his conditions, Jeremy became satisfied.

Even though he had to risk creating butterfly effects in the earlier period. He still chose to help out their families too. After all, he could not let his friends suffer, couldn't he?

”I give you guys a quota of 10 people per person, is that alright?” Jeremy asked.

The three people nodded their heads, so, Jeremy continued.

”Okay, from now on, find some excuses to convince and bring all the people whom you want them to survive here within 3 days. All of them don't have to come together but please note that, it must be within 3 days.”

Jeremy declared to the trio.

When he saw the three of them nodded their heads. He inscribed the Oath Runes directly on their foreheads. These Oath Runes would never break or be renegaded upon so long as they still wanted to retain their sanities.

But would it be easy to convince those beings to waste their time and resources to undone the Oaths?

Not at all...

It would be good enough if they didn't get killed, mind controlled, become a mindless demon, or transformed into an undead at the first sight of meeting those races and classes.

Well, there were also those lawful races and classes who dealt directly with mind and soul existed but their levels and existences were too high to trouble themselves with the soon-to-be rookies on Ortus.

Then... not wanting to waste anymore of his spear practicing time, Jeremy started the process of Oaths binding

”Alright, it's time to bind you guy with the Oaths. Charlotte, you first.”

Feeling a bit surprise by his abrupt declaration, Charlotte who was sitting beside Jeremy leant closer to him.

With a reddened face and blushing cheeks, she was slowly leaning her face closer and closer to Jeremy.

Until her nose was almost touching with Jeremy's.

She closed her eyes with expectation and shyness written on her face.
