Reincarnated Hero System

165 Flags raised

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says you don't need to know since you won't be going to any lower world or any other worlds.]

Seeing the notification that popped up in front of him, Evan heaved a sigh as he spoke out loud, attracting Pride and Eliza's attention.

"Artemisia..."

[?]

"That's a Flag."

[The goddess 'Artemisia' is deliberating tossing entity- 'Evan Von Bourne' into the void of space for a few moments.]

"Haha...nice one."

[The goddess 'Artemisia' stares at the entity- 'Evan Von Bourne' with a dead gaze.]

"That's a joke, right?"

[...]

"...right?"

Evan felt cold sweat dripping down his body as Artemisia suddenly went silent. The next moment, he suddenly realised he could not feel the ground anymore and looked down to see himself floating.

A chill went down his spine as he began apologizing profusely, only for his body to fall back to the ground, along with two familiar cats with black and gold-coloured fur.

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says that you would not be bothered by that 'Nuisance' anytime soon.]

Before he could even begin to question who or what she was talking about, his body was pushed down to the ground when one of the two cats jumped onto him.

[Master!!!!!]

Hearing the familiar voice of his contracted spirit, Evan completely forgot about Artemisia's words as he hugged the cat in his arms.

Meanwhile, the second cat, shadow spirit Kuro, silently sank its body into Evan's shadow before Kayla pulled it for a group hug.

Beside Pride, the small fire spirit slowly flew to the high demon's shoulder and sat on it, turning her bright red eyes toward the demon's face as she let out a small smile.

"You're back, huh?"

Amy bobbed her head up and down as she nodded in affirmation to Pride's words before poking the high demon's shoulder.

"Hmm?"

She then pointed towards Evan who was talking with Kuro beside Kayla who was being chased around by Eliza before saying one word.

[Contract]

Pride stared at the spirit of few words in silence for a while, before chuckling a bit as she stood up and spoke.

"Okay."

Amy's happiness upon hearing her affirmation was visible as the small spirit began swinging her legs around while humming with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Pride unconsciously sped up her steps toward Evan to ask him about the spirit contracts.

â—‡ â—‡ â—‡

"I see. So you and Amy here, wish to form a contract, huh?"

That was Evan's reply after hearing from Pride that she wished to form a contract with the spirit that was currently discussing something with Kayla atop Eliza's head.

[The goddess 'Artemisia' looks at the entity-'Pride', with a complicated gaze.]

'You're still here? And this thing really describes all of your actions, huh?'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says that it is a form of 'Indirect Messaging' that is more secure and prevents other snooping gods from discovering the connection between the two parties involved.]

'Then how did 'that' guy initiate a connection to the system?'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says that you should attempt to understand Grade 7 Singularities as they are not within the realm of common sense.]

'I have no idea what a 'Grade 7 Singularity' even means and I'm not gonna ask. What I want to ask is if it is possible for Pride to form a contract with Amy?'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says it's possible, just that the spell circle and chant have to be altered.]

[The goddess 'Artemisia' suggests you take advantage of the fact that you are in a room where you would not be disturbed to make the contract.]

'Yeah, come to think of it, it is weird how we haven't thought about the fact that the door cant open.'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says that a certain idiot locked it, but you need not worry as she would simply unlock it when you wish to leave.]

'Okay, so what's the chant? Lemme see if I still have magic chalk in my inventory.'

As Artemisia was telling Evan the new chant, the young hero fished out the magic chalk he used to draw the circle for his contract with Kuro and began to draw a similar circle, only that some parts of the circle were different.

Naturally, someone with an impeccable memory like Pride who was present during his two contracts noticed the difference.

"The first and third outer circles are different from yours. The inscription you're currently drawing is also different. Why?"

"It's because you, who is not a native of this world, are trying to form a contract with a spirit who IS a native of this world."

"Are you not the same?"

Pride narrowed her eyes as she asked Evan. She remembered the conversation Evan had with Artemisia when they were in Bonas and the goddess' exact lines.

'The reason that you can hear it is simple, your ORIGINAL WORLD is technologically advanced enough to discover what laid beyond the sea of stars'

She didn't care much for the rest of the statement, but the fact that the goddess herself said the words; 'Original World', was an indirect confirmation that the Aidos was not Evan's original world and he was an otherworlder like she was.

"I'm different from you.

Everything about you is from 'whatever the demon world is called', and it's just my soul that's not from Aidos. This body is 100% Aidos, that's why I could cut corners and use the original chant."

He stood up and finished drawing the circle while he answered Pride and cleaned the sweat on his forehead before speaking to himself.

"I need to change my clothes..."

And that he did, without caring about the fact that there were other people present, he took off his shirt and the torn leather armour underneath before removing his vest, revealing his bare upper body.

"What the?!"

Eliza who looked over after seeing a shirt being tossed in the air, could not help but exclaim in surprise as a small blush crept onto her face.

Noticing her reaction, Evan turned around and smiled before saying something that the him of a few seconds into the future would regret.

"Like what you see?"
