Chapter 1 - GREEDY ENCOUNTER

(internal monologue)

~swoosh~swoosh~

("it hurt")

("It hurt so much")

("My body throbbed with pain so agonizing that I could barely keep my mind.)

(My breathing was restless yet soft as I may die any moment but as the time passed rather than dying breath was becoming more calmer.)

("How long has it been since they have thrown me inside the rift has it been days or just hours, it's so dark here, that the eeriness is making my emotion go numb.)

~swoosh~swoosh~

("What's happening to me, why is this happening,I don't even know how long have I been stuck here nor I know how much longer till I die, and why the the wind so strong, and it's so dark here that there is not even a single ray of light.)

("I wonder if this is luck since I survived or my misfortune with all this torturous pain,but I wonder how long can these root veins can hold me, I'm floating in the middle of nowhere, even if live with this height I'll just be squashed to death if I fall,)

("Heehe, hghaaa, heghhejhaaaa, khughkk, 'cough' 'cough' 'cough.)

"I couldn not help but but laught at my situation.

("Ugggh" or may be I should not, it was kind of delightful but it still hurt when you laugh with a broken jaw.)

~swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~

"Uggghgh' 'ggghhhha' 'ghaaaaaaaa' kkghhhhhhhhh'

("A sudden loud and distorted scream came from my mouth,as an intense wave of pain hit my body as my scream echoed through the rift.)

"Huff' 'huff' 'huff',

("what was that right now, it came so suddenly and disappeared so fast yet it felt to agonizing like some one was twisting my muscle and bone and forcefully tried to rip off my organ, with every breath it felt like I was breathing in a hot wave of fire.)

{" human ?}

~swoosh~swoosh~

("Those imperial bastards, I swear if I survive here I will make the empire a living hell, I will plunge the empire into plauge and destruction, chaos and disaster, war and invasion everything I will do everything to destroy it.)

"The emotion that felt numb earlier right now felt so vibrant, as if I will do it even if I have to sell my soul to a demon.

{"That does indeed sound interesting but can you hear me human ?}

("What the! Did I just hear someone say interesting)

{"Yes you did}

('Me)

{'Yes}

(What the hell, who is this talking to me,I don't sense any one near me,am I finally going insane.)

"It was a voice of a man with smooth and nice sound to it a appeared in my mind.

{"No you are not.}

~swoosh~

("I am definitely going crazy,is this my end-of-life, am I finally in my death bed.)

{"what is even that, is this some new way of sleeping}

("Deathbed refers to a place where someone is dying or close to deat- ~~~~~~

~~~i am definitely experiencing deathbed, and who am I even explaining this to,and what kind of crazy death bed am I even having.)

{"Hey human at least let me say anything.}

("Yes! Are you the voice talking to me, or perhap grim reaper or angel send from heaven to free from my misery.)

{"I'm not sure what that suppose mean, so I will take it as you can hear me.}

("Yes I can hear you, or can I even say I am hearing, it feels kinda feels more like your word are appearing in my head.)

~swoosh~swoosh~

{"I am using telepathic wave on you, since we are pretty far away from eachother.}

("Is that so, so you are not some kind of angel or grim reaper which came to take me to heaven.)

"I couldn't help but be suprise cause to think that there was an another person beside me in this place.

{"No.}

("Why exactly are you talking to me.)

{"If you are being so direct then I won't beat around the bush, but before that tell me are you perhaps a summon.}

"How does he know that, since it's the first time we ever met.?

("Yes I am, but how do you know that.)

{"Hehehe,fuhahahaa,huhahaaha, haaaahaa

Heehaaahaa, huhahaa, my bad it has been so long since I had some good laughter so I just lost myself.}

("Why did you laugh did I say something funny.)

~swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~

{"No or should I say yes, it has not even been two year since the last batch of heroes were thrown inside the rift and a new batch is already thrown.}

("Are you saying there were summon other than me who were thrown inside the rift.)

{"Yes}

(How much ?)

{"I don't know exactly but I think at least A HUNDRED thousand in the past three

Millennium or even more, usually the one with lower rank 'occupation', but why did they tried to kill you, you seem to got a pretty high rank 'job' espically a rare one.}

(" I don't know.)

{"But what ever, you certainly are amusing aren't you.}

("Why do you think so.)

~swoosh~swoosh~

{Well you are the very first one that survived after falling into the rift, usually most won't even survive after falling from this height.}

("I'm the first survivor.)

{"Yes}

("Most do you mean there were people other than me that were thrown inside the rift.)

{"Yes! As I said it was around two year's ago when the last batch of summon were thrown inside the rift.}

"Damn those crazy bastard, to think they kill

People in such ruthless way.

("I wonder if I will meet the same fate as theirs.)

{"Hey human what do you say, do you wish to leave this place.}

"Why is he saying it like that, as if he is trying of doing something shady nevertheless.

("Of course! I want to leave this place , But can I even leave this place with the amount of injury I have plus I am entangled in the middle of nowhere, with how the wind is blowing so fast and strong I must be at pretty high place, so even if I live I will just fall to death.)

~swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~

{"Well don't worry about that with my help you can easily get out of this placeI, but you need to do a soul contract with with me.}

"Knew it! But why is he bringing soul contract now out of know where, it kinda feels so shady, but I was thinking of selling my soul a to a demon a moment ago, beside can I even be picky about my situationn, nevertheless I took a long breath and asked.

("but before that what do you want from me, I don't think you are helping out of pity.)

"There no such thing as free lunch in the world, espically for someone who is here for more than 3 thousand year earlier than me.

{"Well it's nothing much, in exchange for helping you get out of this place, form a contract with me that will also let me out of this place with you.}

("That's it, don't you have nothing more.)

{No! I do not have any more condition than these,except but a little bit of freedom.}

("Then why are you in this place to even begin with.)

{"Same as your's.}

("But I don't even know why they did this to me.)

{...}

("Not saying any thing, fine then.)

("The state your term for the contract.)

{"Well nothing that hard to follow, we will be doing 2 type of contract 'INDIVIDUAL CONTRACT' and 'SUMMONING CONTRACT'.}

("Explain the condition.)

{"Before that tell me your name, it necessary when doing the contract.)

("Noir! That's my name.)

{"Then let's proceed with the first contract noir.}

{"How is that sounds fair to you"}

(''It does.)

"So much that to the point that I'm felleing a bit uneasy ,but it's not like I got any choice.

(" So how do we sing the contract, do I need to drop blood or something.)

{"No' I am not that barbaric, Just say word 'AFFARIM' while looking at the contract.}

("Huh! But I don't see nothing Infront of me.)

{"Do not worry about that just flow out your mana Infront of you and think the the word 'AFFARIM'.}

("Okay.)

"While the lingering uneasiness still remained in my heart, I still proceed to do the contract.

("AFFA-

"The more it spoke the more terrifying the pain started to become.
