The Fifth Wish really is so complicated... Explaining everything related to it took forever and even now I don't know if I did a good job at explaining it...
If you don't understand something from this chapter, feel free to comment and I'll explain it in even more simple way.

"Almost five hundred people are part of that circus. it is said that that circus is the largest one before 20th floor!" Amelia spoke as we all ate our breakfast.
It was already morning. Today is the day for the second floor test and I was thinking of how to ask them to not to participate in the floor test, at least not yet.
"Woah! that big? we should all watch that if it really is that big!" Dofu exclaimed while putting the spoon in his mouth as he ate breakfast.
"Yes! let's ace the test today so that we can continue climbing the tower. The 12th floor is quite far but we will reach it in no time!" Amelia said with a smile as she looked at the both of us.
"About that..." I put my spoon back in the bowl I was eating from and looked at them.
"I was thinking, maybe we should extend our stay at the second floor a bit more longer." Confused expressions appeared on both of their faces as they waited for me to continue.
"Well...I am thinking of telling you both about a secret of mine. but, don't let it out okay?" Their faces turned slightly more serious hearing me.
"...I am a prince of Jahad." I said, looking at their faces to see their reaction but I was disappointed when I only saw confusion.
"I don't know for sure but... wasn't there a rule that only females can be princess of Jahad? I mean, I never heard of a prince..." Amelia stopped mid sentence, unsure if what she knows is correct or not.
"Well, I am a prince of Jahad and explaining how I am isn't really important. What really is important however is the ability I gained as the prince of Jahad." I paused for a second as I thought of how to reveal the information.
"The tower is filled with dangerous ordeals and we will lose our lives just with the slightest mistake. To climb the tower without dying we would need strength. our current strength isn't good enough. we need more." I paused here as I tried to let my words sink in. I had deliberately used 'We' in this sentence instead of 'You two' as I had read it somewhere that using 'we' when convincing someone is more effective.
"I can increase our strength. My ability, that I mentioned before, is a unique type that lets me increase the potential of anyone around me but, for it to work, we need to stay together for a few more days."
""..."" Both were silent as they listened. Amelia had her mouth slightly opened as she heard the information and Dofu...he was just silently eating his food without a care...
"To be honest, I don't know what to say...but you have an amazing ability..." Amelia said, uncertainty laced her voice. It seemed like she was doubtful of my words
"I wanna get stronger!" Dofu spoke putting the spoon in his hand back in the empty bowl. he had already finished eating...that must be why he decided to speak...
I nodded at his words, ignoring the fact that I thought of him not being too serious. I mean, he did prioritise food before voicing out his thoughts...
"I am telling you both about my ability because I want you both to be my team. we would climb the tower together and, while climbing, I will also increase your potential as we move up." I said, asking them to be my team was the obvious thing since I was going to increase their strength. I want them in my team if I was going to make them stronger.
As for how I was going to increase their strength...it was by using the fifth wish's boons.
I was given five wishes by the old god...
First wish was to create an empty system.
Second wish was to have a shop with equips and skills from a game within the system.
Third wish was for quests.
Forth wish made it so that there wouldn't be any restrictions applied to me that were in the game. this was the most overpowered wish I asked, according to me.
Now the fifth wish...The fifth wish was a bit more complicated then anything else as this one wish had quite a few things going.
(A/N: Complicated explanation starts)
Basically, the fifth wish was sort of like an equal exchange of sorts with other people. An invisible contract would be formed whenever I wished to use my fifth wish. the contract would bond me and another person and keep an eye on whether or not we fulfill our end of the deal. if one of us don't fulfill our end of the deal, then one side of the contract would crumble meaning the person who DIDN'T fulfill his end of the deal, would NOT get any boons after that point but the one who kept it, would continuously gain the boons even though the contract is breached.
Meaning, breaching the contract isn't favourable for whoever is breaching the contract and extremely favourable for whoever is maintaining it. other then that, it is also possible to terminate the contract by agreement between the two parties.
Now, as for what actually is written in the contract...There is going to be two things written on the contract for one party and since the contract contains two parties, there would be four points/Things written on it.
(A/N: The contract contains two parties and for each party, two things are written in the contract. Meaning four things are written.)
The boons one party gets and the condition to breach the contract, these would be two points written in the contract for one party.
For example, My boon and the condition to breach the contract is simple-
.
The boon and Condition of breach of contract for the Master party-
Boons:- whenever the Subordinate Party defeats an enemy, the Master party would gain Gold according to the strength of the enemy.
The Gold term in this sentence is the Gold used to purchase equipments in the system shop.
Condition for breach of contract:- If the Master party, wasn't able to fulfill the boon of the Subordinate Party within 3 years, the contract would be considered breached.
Note: in the condition of terminating the contract, the Master party must fulfill all the remaining boon of the Subordinate Party immediately. if the master party is unable to fulfil it at that time, the contract can not be terminated.
.
I smiled as I remember my second way of gaining gold. this would be the most effective way for me to gain Gold after I get the maximum subordinates I can.
.
The boon and condition of breach of contract for the Subordinate party-
Boon:- Half of the Gold, the Subordinate Party brings to the Master party (Through Master party's boon) would have to be used to buy stat equipments for the Subordinate Party to increase their strength.
Condition for breach of contract:- If the Subordinate Party ever betrays the Master Party, the contract would be breached.
.
I sighed. the way I was going to make Amelia and Dofu stronger was through the Boons of the Subordinate Party. Through that I can use the points I obtain to buy equipments for the two of them.
My fifth wish truly had a lot of things combined in it. Originally, the fifth wish wasn't this complicated. it was quite simple but that wish couldn't be fulfilled because the old god said it would be extremely overpowered.
The original fifth wish was so overpowered in fact, that it would have made me as strong as Jahad in less then ten minutes of entering the tower! The god immediately denied my wish and gave me an extremely lesser version of my original wish with a few rules and regulations. Which made it more complicated then it had to be.
The original fifth wish was...
