Creating an Alliance - III

[Master I have a proposal]

"Woah! so this is what that system meant by having it own intelligence huh, and why are you calling me master? that's so cliche!"

[I have your personality and memories Host I know what types of fetish you have] said Pearl with a smirk ("Imagine it ")

"Hey! why does it seem like you are smirking even though you don't have a face? and what's with you knowing about my fetishes quit blackmailing me" said Noah as he didn't like giving this system upper hand.

"Huh what's with the situation " said Sophia as she was confused what was happening with him , to which Noah replied "Nothing , my system suggested me something " , "Oh what is it?" asked Sophia as she was quite interested what this so called system have .

[It is advised that user uses in built contract function of system]

"Huh? you have something like that ? though why are you suggesting it" said Noah as he didn't understand what system was implying to .

[The system's contract function doesn't require any sacrifice or price and it is on par with Mythical rank scrolls]

[As for why I didn't tell about you this previously because some restrictions are placed on me by the main system which refrains me from telling you things beforehand and if I tell you , you need to pay the price or face punishment ]

[You should be grateful that we are in Archaic Sphere so for such normal information you are not getting any punishment ]

"What? Don't pull stunts like this , though I guess it is quite a learning moment , so if I am the one asking you it wouldn't involve any punishment right?"

[Yes, but the answer or information will still come at some price]

"Alright , fair enough I guess" said Noah and then asked if there is more reason as to why you suggested usage of system's contract function

[Yes , there is , the Gap between you and Angel Sophia is too big incase of violation of contract she may suffer consequences but their extent wouldn't be as bad as what you would be suffering if you violated them]

Noah understanding system's reasoning thought "Indeed it would be too one-sided" and then said "Hey angel do you have any problem if I use my system's contract function instead of these scrolls" Noah said and then told her about the merits of using system's contract function.

"hmm , its quite unique that you have access to that function , you know its only used when there is a contract between Mortal and God and then also a price must be paid by both parties to initiate contact" said Sophia as his position was indeed too unique , "Well maybe that's what you get for using 30%" thought Sophia

"Alright Pearl , write contract"

[Request accepted]

[Configuring system's contract function..]

[Writing contract details...]

[Contract Details :-

-Both party will fall into a mutual relationship where Angel Sophia will help Noah with her capabilities in Archanos

-5% of the life essence of being Kronos must be paid to Sophia beforehand , with Noah's right to ask Third question

-Noah after reaching sufficient power level must help Sophia if she requires his help till her debt for whatsoever she gives him is paid back

-Contract will be valid till both party annul it

-Party Associated - Angel Sophia and Noah]

Noah read the whole contract details and then sent it to Sophia for review to which she said "hmm this contract sounds promising and as usual smart I guess" said Sophia as she understood what the meaning behind the third Contract statement which basically says "He will only help her if she helps him sufficiently"

"Fine I accept this contract " said Sophia

[Angel Sophia has accepted the contract]

But the moment Noah was about to say "Yes" , he got a system message which nearly made him shout outloud.

[Does the user wish to edit contract details?]

Seemingly confused by this message Noah asked to system through his head "System what does it mean by editing contract ?"

[It means what is written] answered system in a robotic tone though to Noah it sounded more of a mockery

"I mean explain it in full details that how can I edit a contract when other party has already accepted it or if I change the details will she will know about it" asked Noah with veins popping through his head

[Yes, the user can change the details of a contract without the other party knowing , only when the other party has first accepted the contract]

"So, this information I wouldn't have gotten if I would have accepted the contract first" asked Noah

[Affirmative]

"So, what's the price to such a cool power " asked Noah as he already knew as the system's Oh-so mighty morals of equivalent exchange would have never allowed such a cheat to exist.

[Affirmative , User must pay the price based on

1. Difference in Power Gap of both contractors

2. What level of change did user made

3. How much advantage user gets by editing that condition]

"Woah , even with all those absurd rules and price , I guess this power is still broken" thought Noah and then said

"System I accept the contract" as he had no intention nor courage to waste resources on this contract when he was already in advantage.

[Both the parties have accepted the contract]

[Contract Established!]

"Congrats on our new alliance bir.. I mean angel" said Noah to Sophia to which she replied "Same to you" while pulling her hand as she was about smack Noah again.

"So now care to tell me how are you gonna solve your skills problems which are you gonna use as currency" asked Sophia seemingly curious about his abrupt decision
