1 Chapter 1 Death

The sound of rushed footsteps can be heard from the corridor leading to the lavished hall room. An elderly man with glinting eyes wrinkled face and bald head entered into the hall. After entering the hall room he stared dazedly at the ridicules scene in the hall.

The whole hall was in mess, showing sign of struggle a dead body wearing magnificent cloths and physics akin to that fat pig and characteristic of face hidden by layers of fat. He walked unsteady towards the dead body after staring at it with resentment and resignation, he started violently stomping on the body while cursing under his breath .

"Some hero you are...hero my ass dying due to choking on his on saliva ...asshole"

"Fat ass rascal....."

"Bastard ed f*c king corpulent bastard...."

after venting his anger by stomping and swearing, the bald elder collapse on the floor as if all the strength had left his body he muttered in a despaired .

"Status abnormality".

Immediately a semi-transparent hologram image appeared floating in front his eyes.

[Status: Fate Contract Breach

Penalty: Death in 30 minutes [Remaining: 60s]]

Almost half an hour back in time the bald elder was celebrating his victory after subjugating a labyrinth and was collecting the spoil when he received a prompt that his 14th master had meet his demised. For the first few seconds after learning the news the elder was unable to react and read the prompt few times only after which he was able to believe. But the next moments after the realization he was enraged not due to his master death but because, according to the contact if the master dies so does the slave and he could already see the countdown to his own death on the status menu.

The bald rushed back to the safe house in which his master to find the culprit and torture him as long as he had time finally take the culprit along with him to the after-world. But when he arrived at the safe house he found so sign of a breakthrough nor any safety measure were breached, everything was intact this puzzled him but once he enter the hall all the mysterious were solved with just a quick look he understood what transpired here.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His master one of the so-called for the 'Chosen with unlimited future potential met his death not under the blades of his enemy nor while protecting his motherland but by grandly suffocating while choking on his own saliva.

Then the elder just collapsed in resignation as he watched as the remaining time tick down. As if suddenly struck by some realization the elder hurriedly searched the corpse until he found a somewhat dilapidated coin.

the elder looked at the coin with some complicated expression finally he crushed the coin. The coin turned into light particles and buried into the bald elders body. A new prompt appeared in front him.

[Reclaimed free citizen status]

The bald elder spoke with wistful and reminiscing tone to himself

"after being a bounded for a century I should at least die as a free".

After this the elder just sat there waiting for his death as if finally coming in terms with the fate and even a bit of relive from death after living for more than a century. He watched on slowly as the time tricked toward zero.

"30s...29s...28…"

"20s...19s...18..."

"10s…..9s....8s…"

Thee elder closed his eyes before the final few moment of his life.
