Chapter 390: I Really Miss the Good Old Days, Sigh!
I was really content by this, and as I kept moving forward, playing with my new toy; the prison artifact absorption to the feather got completed. And the system was the one to tell me that!
"Ding Dong! Your artifact had been successfully integrated into this world. you can examine its characteristics anytime you want."
"Snap!"
I snapped my fingers as I recalled my spear back, catching it in hand. "Show the details of the prison artifact," I said, not caring about these details actually. All I was caring about was my two demons, and the god-like ability to trap anyone inside.
"Sacred Land remnant Artifact (Sealed): an Integrated and modified artifact grade remnant equipment. Forged by the witch. Soul bound to player Agatha. Doesn't fall after death. Can't be transferred except with soul binding contract.
Status: Sealed (Partially) to unlock the seal, the owner must release the five seals over it. Each seal requires different items to be lifted.
Seal one: Kill one hundred thousand monsters, and save one hundred thousand humans.
Seal two: Will be revealed after unlocking seal one.
Seal three: Will be revealed after unlocking seal two.
Seal four: Will be revealed after unlocking seal three.
Seal five: Will be revealed after unlocking seal four.
Effect: It enables the owner to trap any living creature inside a parallel world. The cost of trapping any living creature is one hundred owner coins per creature. The cost of trapping any human is one owner coin per human.
Trapped living creatures can be kept forever inside it, but each passing day costs ten owner coins for each creature. Trapped humans can't persist there for longer than three days or else they will die out of thirst and hunger, and it costs one owner coin daily to keep them in for these days.
Trapped living creatures can be affected by the item to become loyal followers of the owner. The cost of shifting loyalty is one hundred owner coins per creature.
Trapped humans can be released after signing a serving contract with the owner. The cost of this contract is fifty owner coins per human.
Shifting loyalty functions or servant contracts are both forced abilities, so no living creature or human has the power to change or oppose it. However; both have a time expiry date, which generally is three months of time.
If the owner wanted to renew the contracts, he could easily pay the same amount of owner coins to initiate new contracts. If the contracts expired, then the owner needs to first trap them then enforce the contract."
I glanced at the artifact and felt somehow puzzled. "What is the owner's coin you kept saying one time after another?"
"Ding Dong! It's the currency you will invent and consider as your official currency in the world."
Actually, and to be frank, I didn't really understand what it was trying to say. Was it trying to delay my advance by limiting the usage of my artifact? "So I cant use it now unless I determine a currency? Isn't gold working here anymore?"
"Ding Dong! Gold is considered one of the lowest valued minerals here. if you wanted to specify it as a currency then your currency will be weak, extremely weak in comparison with other currencies later one. Once you determine a currency you won't be able to renege on it, so choose wisely, and take your time."
"Damn," I cursed out loud, "Tell me at least I can still summon my demons!" I complained as I felt injustice from such harsh treatment! Was I being punished for having things ahead of others? Was this system against me?
"Ding Dong! Sure you can still summon the two demons, and free of charge."
"They were always free, stingy system," I mumbled with discontent, "summon them then," I demanded as I didn't guarantee this system would play any tricks when I reached my destination.
""
The system didn't reply but the two demons appeared in front of me in the next moment. The demons were still the same, huge and ugly, but I was used to their presence beside me.
I glanced at the three eyes giant that accompanied me to many places and witnessed many fights with me, and then glanced at the demoness with the two heads and giant body.
"Finally, tell me can you use your weapons?" I asked, out of habit of speaking to them.
However, they didn't reply, they didn't even look me in the eye!
"What is wrong with them?" I asked with increasing tone, as the system must have done something with them.
"Ding Dong! They are here out of the system and so they didn't yet receive world recognition. They are like dolls, will only accept simple direct orders like kill these and stop."
My eyes twitched, as I glanced again at my two huge demons; they were my demons, and they weren't.
"I want my demons back," I was really sad, broken heart at this moment. if not for this annoying accused with the crime system, I would have cried!
I want my demons back you bastards!
"Ding Dong! They need to be recognized by the world first."
"And how can I do that?"
"Ding Dong! Just make them participate in the fights against the monsters, save humans, and they will be fine."
I didn't know why but I didn't believe in these system words and promises! This system was like a sly fox, so cunning that even foxes would come to learn from it!
"Alright, does that mean they will regain their normal selves after doing this rescue mission?"
"Ding Dong! System can't really predict that."
"Sigh, I knew you were trying to trick me," I complained as this system words worth nothing to me.
"Ding Dong! I'm not tricking you, I'm here to help you."
"Yeah, by limiting my powers, taking away my mystic arts, sealing my artifacts, and now manipulating my two beloved demons."
""
"Yeah, keep your silence, cheater!"
I was really pissed off right now! I glanced over my two demons, standing out there with a huge body and no soul at all; walking like dead!
"Sigh, I need to try them out at least," I sighed, as I had no other option out there except to try to adapt and let this cursed world recognize them, or my lying system pulling strings behind the curtains.
"Hey you," I shouted at my demon as I ordered, "Go to the front and kill any monster you meet, bring its corpse to me."
Once I finished speaking, the demon's body jolted, like he was sleeping and my voice just awakened him. He didn't even look me back in the eye, jumped fast towards the front while vanishing rapidly behind the trees here.
"Sigh, I really will start missing the good old days!"
