Chapter 13: Everything Was an Unrealistic Rosy View

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ah, you’re awake?”

Opening his eyes, Bernal saw the familiar ceiling.

At the moment, he was lying on a huge platform in Rogeria’s arms.

Indeed, it was the platform for the ritual that summoned Rogeria at the beginning.

Bernal seemed to have realized why he suddenly appeared in this place long ago, and he did not show any signs of panic.

A contract with an Evil God required qualification. Everything that had happened before was only an illusion.

Although it was an illusion, the human perception could not tell the difference from reality.

If one were in that kind of illusion, he would not sense anything amiss unless he had special abilities.

“Mm.”

With a nod to Rogeria, Bernal got up from her arms.

From the beginning to the end, Bernal seemed calm.

It piqued Rogeria’s interest in Bernal.

“Although I expected it, it’s still unbelievable you can sign the contract with me.”

Rogeria looked at Bernal as if he were a rare endangered species, as she pulled her face closer to Bernal with a big smile.

Rogeria was like the most beautiful treasure in the world in the center of the world, attracting Bernal’s attention.

“You’re really special. I like you a lot.”

“Oh, why thank you!”

Bernal’s lips could not help but curl up when she said that.

With some satisfaction and joy, Bernal directly leaned on Rogeria’s shoulder.

Tingle!

Suddenly, the magic crystals in the four corners of the ritual platform exploded.

Octopus-like tentacles suddenly emerged from all directions.

Then they all rushed towards Rogeria.

Swoosh!

Whistling sounds could be heard cutting through the air. If it had been an ordinary person, he would probably die on the spot. However, the target of these tentacles was no ordinary person.

Facing this sudden attack, the smile on Rogeria’s face remained as she kept smiling at Bernal.

The sea monster’s tentacles stopped just as they were about to whip Rogeria.

Rogeria’s voice sounded in Bernal’s ear.

“What is the meaning of this?”

“It’s scary!”

To Rogeria’s surprise, Bernal seemed to know nothing.

Bernal seemed afraid as he threw himself into Rogeria’s arms while his body trembled slightly.

Looking at Bernal, Rogeria did not know whether he was acting or not.

Strange, perhaps it wasn’t Bernal’s doing?

Rogeria tilted her head to look at the suspended tentacles in the air, and her expression was genuinely puzzled.

These were her tentacles. How could she attack herself?

Even if her tentacles had their own consciousness, it was impossible for them to attack her.

The only possibility was that Bernal, who had just completed the contract with her, was secretly using his newfound powers to interfere.

However, from Bernal’s reaction at this moment, Rogeria realized that he did not know anything at all.

It was strange, and it also ignited her curiosity.

“Swish!”

The sea monster tentacles, which had been hovering, moved again. However, their target was not Rogeria but Bernal himself.

Rogeria was shocked. Before she could understand what was going on, Bernal’s body was torn apart by the tentacles.

When he opened his eyes again, Bernal looked around. He was not in a cave, forest, or his home.

“I’ve had enough of dreams.”

Bernal had completely recovered his memories. The so-called contract was ultimately a hijack of his body.

He was already so-called qualified the moment Bernal successfully survived to see Rogeria.

Anyone who met the criteria could be the anchor point for Rogeria in this world.

However, she had waited for ages just to have this requirement met.

The first condition for someone qualified to contract with Rogeria was to participate in the summoning ritual and survive until Rogeria appeared.

This was also the reason why Rogeria did not stay in this world successfully until Bernal appeared.

The so-called contract was not that beneficial.

Obtain the power of a god through a contract? Everything was a lie.

The contract would make the contractor lose his way. Rogeria, on the other hand, would devour the flesh of the contractor to obtain entry into this world.

Everything was going smoothly for her, but the unexpected occurred.

Bernal was supposed to be immersed in the dream world created by Rogeria, then get lost in it forever.

However, for some reason, he managed to realize the nature of the Dream World.

Now, he could even begin to break free.

…

Back in the real world, Rogeria rubbed her bare stomach in surprise.

At the moment, Bernal, her contractor, had successfully integrated with her through the contract.

She would no longer have to worry about being rejected by this world.

It was how it should have been going.

However, something unexpected happened.

Scarlet red runes began to appear on her lower abdomen, swimming and weaving around.

When she sensed that something was wrong, Rogeria realized that she could not manipulate Bernal at all.

“What’s going on?”

Rogeria was shocked and puzzled, unable to understand why this was happening.

“Why can’t I do anything to this guy?”

It was as if Bernal was indeed the special one.

Right then, Rogeria’s expression changed drastically. She was starting to get nervous and flustered.

All of these emotions that she shouldn’t have, or could never have felt, suddenly surfaced.

Fear, anxiety, desperation…

“Why is the contract changing? What the hell is going on?”

Rogeria was beginning to regret her having a contract with Bernal.

She suddenly felt that she was rash in contracting with a human.

However, it was too late to regret now.

“Who is this child? Is he not as simple as a human child?”

Rogeria did not know much about human beings. She only knew that they were a naturally weak, short lifespan, and flawed race.

Supposedly, such a tiny race was impossible to remember by the Gods.

However, humans had one characteristic which allowed the race to leave a deep impression on every god—humans were the most chaotic race in the countless worlds..
