"Dammit, it really is a local tycoon. He just used a contract."
Some of the players who were sitting around the area knew what had just happened. They immediately recognized the burning object as the legendary contract.
Dawn never advertised itself as a free game, but apart from the helmets, there were no additional fees that needed to be paid.
However, there were some things that did exist, like this contract. It was just like an ordinary contract, but it wasn’t governed by the world’s laws. Rather, it was governed by the game’s own set of rules.
If a player and an NPC didn’t trust each other, it was best to sign a contract.
Players could sign them with other players as well. They weren’t expensive, as they could be bought from the system for 100 gold coins. You could write whatever you wanted within them, but they had to be within the constraints of the system.
