Like most stories on the webstory app, it's not the worst story I have ever read, but don't expect it to be the quality of Herman Melville or John Steinbeck. Treat it as a fan fiction and you'll have a good time.

When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing. John Steinbeck, East of Eden

From the moment I saw the title of this work I immediately thought of Steinbeck's East of Eden, and from the prologue onwards I was reminded of the Book of Genesis and Paradise Lost. The author has created a unique story and premise that I have rarely seen before, even in print books. Even if you don't understand the references I still think that you would enjoy the story. I don't think I've given anyone a perfect five yet, but I'll give it to you, author-san. Keep writing!

I'm really a spirit contract master

The many races on Planet Kaga were in constant conflict, and evil gazes were watching the entire planet through the spirit world. Any intelligent creature had the hope of awakening their psionic powers through the omnipresent spirit world and becoming a powerful psionic. There were Psionics who grasped elemental powers, Psionics who tempered their bodies, and Psionics who sublimated their souls. Among them, there were even a few psionics who had the hope of obtaining special knowledge from the spirit world and transforming it into their own talents. He had transmigrated to this world through land and air. Due to the transmigration, his soul was different from the rest. At the age of fifteen, he had awakened his psionic powers and became a spirit contract master who used the power of the soul to contract spiritual beasts and other living beings. He could even see the various knowledge contained in the spirit world when he awakened and broke through, and choose the talent he needed! [Perfect Body (Immortal): There is no limit to the strength of the body. As long as you train, you can continuously increase the strength of the body.] [God of War's Heart (Main God): Born for battle. The more you fight, the stronger you become. What can't defeat you will only make you stronger.] [Lord of Storm (Main God): You are the Lord of the Sky, the Air, and the Storm.] [Psionic Affinity (Legendary): Innate affinity with psionic energy, absorbing psionic energy at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.] ………… Looking at each and every one of their incomparably powerful talents, Lu Kong felt that something was amiss. Speaking of which, I'm a spirit contract master, why don't I have the talent of a spirit contract master? Several years later, Lu Kong punched an evil god that had descended. He said indignantly,"I told you I'm a Spirit Contract Master. Why didn't you believe me?"
