2 Chapter 2: The Deal

"HEY DO NOT INTERRUPT MY STORY !!" the Wex replied remarkably annoyed. For some reason in this answer the voice had sounded a little less powerful and something sharper.

After a few seconds during which we could hear an internal but undecipherable murmur from Wex, he continued.

"GOOD... WHERE I WAS?... OH YEAH, THE MISSION THAT I WANT YOU TO ACOMPLISH IS TO BRING MY KINGDOM TO HIS LAST GLORY, TO CRUSH MY ENEMIES, TO DEFEAT THOSE WHO DARED TO LOOK AT US FROM ABOVE WITH DESDE. FEAR THE WORLD AND MY NAME AND MY KINGDOM TO BE REMEMBERED FOR ALL TIMES "This time Wex's voice sounded with an emotion typical of an ambitious person who has his greatest desire before his eyes.

"Mission? Did he think he remembered that it was a deal?" Miguel replied.

"HAHAHA, OF COURSE, IF YOU DO THIS, YOU'LL BE REWARDED," laughed Wex. "THE GODS EMERGE BY THE FAITH OF OUR PEOPLE, SO THAT THE MORE BELIEVERS WE HAVE THE MORE POWERFUL WE ARE AND THE MORE THINGS WE CAN DO".

"WHAT I OFFER YOU IS A WISH, WITHOUT LIMITS, WITHOUT BARRIERS, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING YOU WANT, THIS IS SOMETHING NEVER SEEN, ALL THE GODS ALWAYS OFFER SOMETHING IN THEIR CAPACITIES, BUT I HAVE TRUST IN YOU, AND I KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FULFILL THE MISSION AND CONQUER ALL AND ONCE YOU DO IT I WILL BE SO POWERFUL THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO FULFILL MY PART OF THE DEAD "said proud Wex. It was noted that he condied fully in his capacities.

"Everything sounds very nice but how am I going to achieve that?"

"OBVIOUSLY I WILL PROVIDE YOU PART OF MY POWER, IT WILL BE A SYSTEM THAT WILL HELP YOU IN YOUR MISSION AND THAT AS IT WILL BE LINKED TO ME, SO IT WILL BE MAKING MORE POWERFUL WITH ME AS YOU PROGRESS, ANY MORE QUESTIONS?" Wex answered directly without hesitation in one of his words, and although he had not explained what this power that was going to grant him was, it could be seen that he was very proud of him.

All kinds of thoughts passed through Miguel's head. Obviously everything sounded very nice to be true. At first his agnostic character made him doubt about the existence of this "powerful god" Wex.

But everything seemed so real... And then there was the fact of what I had on Earth. That was practically nothing. Since his parents died he had to look for his life as best he could. He had two jobs, in the mornings he killed himself as a laborer carrying sacks and doing any work that others did not want. When he finished he had an hour of rest and went straight to his second job in a cafeteria where his shift ended a little before midnight.

He did not have university studies since he had to start working right after finishing high school and the added salary of the two gave him to live more or less in a dignified way. But undoubtedly it did not give him to pay the high prices of an education in conditions.

The most depressing thought that was going through his head was that in the end the money or the house he had did not matter, in fact, he did not have anyone.

So much work made his only friends his co-workers. His old classmates had advanced and they did not even think about him anymore. He had no brothers, nor any close family, he was alone.

The sadness gradually turned into anger. He clenched his fists as he thought "Whether or not this is real, if it were, and if it were to leave this boring world, it would not matter too much.

"This fantastic world seems like a lot of fun, and if I do it well, I'll be able to get Humanity to rise to its maximum splendor by crushing all those strange races.

Pride invaded him feeling a King of "The Lord of the Rings" who had to put an end to the plague of the orcs.

Thousands of fantasies occupied his head, daydreaming in his own dream of how he could lead a great army and achieve his desired power while doing good.

He started laughing softly while keeping his fists clenched.

"HEY ARE YOU OK?" Wex asked worriedly, after offering his bargain, Miguel had begun to laugh at the solo while clenching his fists.

"Wex, right?" Miguel asked with emotion

"YES?"

"I do not even know if you are real or some play of my imagination that indicates that I have an ambition that surpasses my own world" Miguel continued. "But I will accept your deal, I will take your little Kingdom and make it the most feared, but you must not forget your promise, when you get it you will grant me whatever it is without limits."

"FINALLY, TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE THE DEAL, WE SHOULD SAY THE COVENANT EACH ONE, I BEGIN!".

"UNDER THE UNVIERSAL POWER I JUDGE MY PROMISE OF FULFILLING AN UNLIMITED DESIRE TO MIGUEL GARCÍA IF IT BECOMES MY ISSUE AND BRINGS MY KINGDOM TO ITS MAXIMUM SPLENDOR!" Wex said in a tone of happiness.

"And I, Miguel García, swear that I will become your emissary, and I will take your kingdom to its maximum splendor in exchange for an wish with no limit!" Miguel shouted with all his strength convinced of himself.

At that moment a ray of light hit Miguel between the eyes, and a strange power entered his soul.

He could not know exactly what had happened but he had the feeling that a strange seal had been placed on his soul as a sign of the deal made.

At that moment the vision of the planet stopped and little by little it faded away. The stars of the sky went out one by one until the absolute darkness enveloped Miguel.

From four untraceable corners, colored waves emerged that focused on Miguel's body. He could feel how the power was getting inside him, how he carried his essence and his mind out of his body. His vision went from absolute black to endless colors.

"I HOPE YOU ARE PREPARED TO FULFILL MY OBJECTIVE!" Said Wex. "FROM NOW ON YOU WILL BE KNOWN AS THE GREAT KLART!"

"Is it necessary to change the name?" Miguel asked.

Ignoring the question, Wex finished. "GOOD LUCK MY FUTURE KING GOBLIN !!"

"Wait, did you say gobl ...?" But before he could finish the sentence everything went dark again.

In the real world everything went back to normal. The birds were heard again in the street with some distant sound of bugs.

Everything was the same except for a small house of little importance where there was now an empty bed.
