Binding System

[Ding! God of Wine and Ecstasy sends you a contract. Do you want to form a contract with him?]

[All divine beings are shocked and looking at God of Wine and Ecstasy.]

'Contract? What is that?'

Ace did not know anything about it.

'Is this a contract like in my previous life? No, I'm sure it's different because he was God.'

All this time, he thought all divine beings would only watch his adventure or give him a card after finishing their missions, but he was wrong.

'System, explain it to me but make it short.'

He did not accept the offer immediately and asked the system to explain it because he needed to be careful in everything.

[Host, a contract is an agreement between two or more parties regarding certain things that are agreed upon by them.]

The system told him that he would get something from the God of Wine and Ecstasy if he made a contract with him.

What he would get was based on their agreement, like power, wealth, etc.

However, there was a price for that. He had to sacrifice something for the God of Wine and Ecstasy to get what he wanted.

The more important the thing he sacrificed, the better he would get. For example, he asked for talent.

He would only get grade E talent if he sacrificed his right arm, but he would get grade B talent if he offered both arms.

Ace finally understood everything.

'I see.'

[God of Wine and Ecstasy asks, how is it, boy? Do you agree to make a contract with me? If you do, I will raise your talent to grade S and unlock your Archer class immediately.]

At this moment, the wolves still walked slowly as if they believed Ace's life was already in their hands.

[God of Wine and Ecstasy says, not only will I help you in this life-and-death situation, but I will also send my strongest incarnation to Framingburns forest to help you and take care of you. I only want a small thing, and that is your eyesight.]

Incarnation was a nickname for people who made contracts with divine beings. Divine beings could descend to Zonia planet by borrowing their incarnations' bodies.

[Several divine begins are looking at you, waiting for your answer.]

Ace did not accept the offer immediately because what the God of Wine and Ecstasy offered him was something he could obtain with the help of his system.

And he did not want to lose his eyesight because eyesight was very important for human beings. It could be said eyesight was one of the most important things in the world.

'I will try to finish the quest first.'

He would accept God of Wine and Ecstasy's contract if he had no other choice.

However, he decided to finish the quest first because he wanted to know what he would get from the system.

If he got a useless card, he would accept God of Wine and Ecstasy's contract because he did not want Scarlett to die.

"Grrr…." The wolves were getting closer and closer to him.

[God of Wind likes your decision.]

[God of Mountain says, wise decision.]

'Move! Move!'

Ace tried to take Gideon's space ring.

[God of Wine and Ecstasy is looking at you, waiting for your answer.]

Ace's eyes were locked on Gideon's space ring.

"Aghh, move!" after trying hard and enduring immense pain for several seconds, Ace finally managed to touch Gideon's space ring.

However, the system still did not consider him to have completed the quest because he had to take the space ring from Gideon's index finger.

Like before, he did not give up and tried his best to take Gideon's space ring.

[Ding! The quest is complete.]

[Ding! Host killed human for the first time. Host will be given special rewards.]

[Ding! Host has received Instant Recovery card (1), and Instant Absorption card (1). Host can find them in the inventory.]

[God of Wine and Ecstasy sighs before drinking his red wine.]

[God of Wind let out a sigh of relief.]

[Five new divine beings are amazed by your luck.]

Happiness shimmered inside him when he saw the rewards.

'System, activate the Instant Recovery card.'

He did not bother reading the description because he could tell what card it was by its name.

[Ding! Instant Recovery card activated!]

His wounds healed instantly, and he no longer felt excruciating pain. Not only that, but all the scars on his body also disappeared.

He instantly stored their space rings in his.

'I have to kill these wolves quickly.'

He took his sword.

He raised his right hand forward before chanting a magic spell. "Ice Chain."

Three ice chains shot out of the magic circle and entangled the bodies of these three wolves, causing them to be unable to move their bodies.

They could not break the ice chains immediately because they were only 1-star magical beasts.

'Moon style sword of drawing techniques- fifth form: one hundred deadly slashes.'

He decided to use his secret technique because he wanted to kill these three wolves as quickly as possible.

*Slash…Slash…Slash…

He moved in a lunar spiral pattern before changing it into a triskele pattern and finishing it with a spirituality symbol.

The wolves could not avoid his attacks because three ice chains entangled their bodies.

"Owoooo." One of the wolves called its friends.

Ace tried to kill them as quickly as possible because it would be dangerous to stay in that place.

*Drip…Drip…

These three wolves cried out in pain.

Blood came out of their wounds. They could not break the ice chains because they were heavily injured.

*Slash…Slash…Slash…

After attacking them for several seconds, he finally managed to kill them.

Target misson:

Kill 1-star magical beast: 16/20

Kill 2-star magical beast: 0/10

Donate 20 gold coins to Goddess Teressa's orphanage: 0/20

----

A notification appeared after he killed these three wolves.

Ace ignored the notification and rushed toward Scarlett.

'Thank god!'

He let out a sigh of relief when he did not see any magical beasts around her.

'Wait!'

He suddenly remembered Gideon and Jason's space rings.

'Let me check their space rings.'

He got five gold coins, ten silver coins, forty copper coins, one hammer skill book, one spear skill book, one 3-star magical beast core, and twelve 1-star magical beast core from their space rings.

He was unhappy after checking their space rings.

Previously, he hoped he would find Health Potion or something like that, but his hopes were shattered into pieces after checking their space rings.

'Scarlett.'

He touched her left cheek and looked at her with a sad expression.

It hurt his heart when he saw her condition. It could be said everything was his fault. She would not get injured if he did not go to Framingburns forest.

She would not get injured if he was not weak, and she would not get injured if he agreed to leave the forest early.

'I'm sorry, Scarlett.'

He felt guilty.

Ace instantly carried her on his back.

His intention was clear.

He wanted to take her out of the forest!

She was heavily injured, so he wanted to take her to Kieran's house.

However, something unexpected happened when he was about to leave the Framingburns forest.

Fifteen hyenas appeared before them!
