Chapter 59 - A Letter of Love?
Delia watched with her heart beating up her throat as Paris crouched next to Kon. Any threat she threw the Special Exorcist’s way would be ineffective.
"His heartbeat seems normal,” Paris stated. Then she opened his shirt and touched his chest, poking it in different places.
"W -What are you going to do to him?" Delia asked weakly, feeling some pain throughout her head.
Paris raised a questioning brow. &nbs...

Chapter 58 - Killer In Disguise
I stopped asking questions as this might be another one of the conditions he might need to fulfill. Someone who explained his special ability likely had some condition where his ability would become stronger if he explained it. In other cases, it was just stupidity.
Normally, I would go for the Ord battle, the first choice. After all, if the game counted all my Ord, even the portion I sent to Carpy. Then my inn...

Chapter 57 - Standing Each Other

It felt like lava was rushing through my veins. Every muscle in my body shut down; I tried moving my fingers, but it was like an eternity of pain. My internal organs got covered in boiling water.
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Damn it! Damn it! Damn iiiiittt! It fucking hurts!!
Unimaginable pain wrecked through my body, and it felt like my mind was slipping and I was going to pass out. I couldn’t even scr...

Chapter 56 - Master's Peak
As we walked up the stairs, Dalia and I stood in front of Paris.
Dalia put a hand on my shoulder and said. “Be careful, don’t let him touch you, and don’t keep eye contact for too long. Don’t do anything that might complete a condition for an ability to activate. Also, keep a look at what he’s doing; only then you can discover what he might be trying to do, which might give a hint at his ability’s activation.”

Chapter 55 - Smart
When reading manga. Having a character go 'all according to plan' was entertaining sometimes. It was the trademark of showing a smart character.
Deep down, every reader knew that the 'smart' character could only be as smart as the author could write it.
But when that translated to the real world. Those 'smart' characters became genuinely smart. Even before she had asked me a question, Paris had put a hand o...

As I was following Dalia, she suddenly stopped and looked around.
Had I been discovered? The psycho types always had that crazy sixth sense, like a feral animal.
My heart beat like an engine, and I could taste the tension in the air. Nervous thoughts ravaged my mind.
I didn't want to fight her.
She dragged her hand across her face as if scratching it. But as soon as she did so, Ord man...

A new plan started forming in my mind. "I will accept, only if you count this mission as ten missions."

That time could be used more productively.

Her father was the Dark Sword clan head. He was also my father's brother, which made him my uncle.

Walking toward the girl, I didn't feel anything special. There’s no doubt she was pretty. Her hair was also an unnatural color of golden blonde. Knowing the world, that blonde hair was probably natural.

Days passed by since my outburst of Ord.
A contract was essentially like asking to borrow money from a loan shark to place a risky gamble. Since I was young and had a lot of lifespan, my 'loan shark' was rich.
I bet against myself. I would be able to turn a fish into a dragon. It's an impossible task by most metrics, so the ‘loan’ was big. Unlike Bets who used his lifespan to create a special abilit...

Perfect Me, the ability I had created under stress, was quite a powerful one. Which would be even more helpful the stronger I grew. However, the special ability in and of itself will never grow stronger. I will never be able to be in the Perfect Me state for longer than five minutes. Those were the limitations I had put on it.
