Chapter 41: The Shock

[  Permanent Soul contract - Once initiated can not be broken.

Both the users will have their soul bonded for lifetime.

Both the users have the same position in the contract.

Once the  contract is bound, your life and death are interlinked. 

Both the parties can share many spiritual things they want through this bond. ] 

Seeing the explanation written on the screen made Keiran understand what the system meant by this skill being the answer.

'So I can only share things from the system with her once we are connected by soul.'

[ Yes, Since I am connected to the host using a soul bond. 

Once she joins this bond, she will be able to receive the powers but you have to pay for twice the cost of single skill, items and bloodlines too. ]

Without any hesitation Keiran gave a command to the system.

' Buy Permanent Soul contract.'

His words made Luna look at him with love filled eyes. 

Jumping in his embrace she rubbed her head on his chest as her words sounded in the boy's ears like a melody. 

"Keiran, Keiran, Keiran ~~~ I love you~~." Keiran felt his heartbeat rising like a racing car and embraced the girl he loved in his arms before replying

"I love you too~~ Luna~~." 

Keiran noticed that Luna had eyes that looked like hearts as she was gazing deep in his own with passion.

Smiling at the sight he leaned in to kiss her forehead as he received a notification in his mind.

[ Purchase complete - Permanent Soul  contract 

  Remaining Points - 400. 

  Would you like to Use the Contract

  YES | NO.  ]

'Yes, contract it with Luna's soul.' Keiran's words echoed in Luna's mind making her tremble in ecstasy.

[ Understood Contract Initiating.

  Contractors Keiran And Luna.

  Bond Initiating. 10%- 20% -50% -...90% ]

As the bond started to form Keiran and Luna felt an Ethereal change inside their body. It was more in depth than mere body. 

No, They felt connected like in each other's embrace. 

Keiran and Luna understood that this feeling was permanent and now they are one in a spiritual sense.

[ …. 100% Contract has been established. 

System Updating…..

Contractor Luna is being Registered as a Sub-Host to the system…]

Hearing those words made the twins happy, Keiran was happy he wasn't the only one who had the system now. 

But somehow he didn't like something about it.

'System, is there a way to remove you from our bond?' Hearing Keiran's words made Luna look at Keiran with hollow eyes.

She had been feeling another connection within their bond and made her want to rip that thing off.

[...] 

Hearing the words of the host System turned speechless not knowing how to respond to such a question.

[ Host can make it so that I am only connected to the host and you can send things through your bond. Like an indirect connection.]

Those words sounded plausible to Keiran and he accepted them. ' Yeah, let's do that.'

'Can't you do anything without having to bond with him as well. I don't want anyone else to bond with him too.' Luna chimed in her question with a dark aura leaking her body.

[...]

System once again turned speechless hearing the words of its sub-host. 

if it had a human body it might have banged his head on the wall  while cursing  'fcking Yanderes and their obsession.'

[No!....] 

The system gave a firm reply washing away all of the girl's hopes .

[ Host has a bond with me on a soul level, just like you. We can not be Separated now or we will both suffer. 

I will cease to exist while host will suffer soul injuries which are the most difficult to heal. ]

' If it will hurt him in any way, don't do it or I'll make you die faster than you die from separation.' 

Luna's cold voice made the system give up to even argue with her that she was the one who suggested it in the first place.

Keiran, who could somehow sense the system's helplessness, chuckled in amusement and said 'Buy mind Shield for us both.' 

[Yes, right away.] 

As if he had seen a savior, System replied back in a hurry and took its leave.

[ Purchase complete  |  Points left - 0

  Mind Shield being transferred to the hosts' mind - ….. Transfer Complete. ]

Both of the twins felt a protective layer covering their minds. As if a window that was open had been shut.

' This feels weird.' Luna spoke as she could still feel their bond and the connection but it was like there was a veil between her and the outside world.

'Well it is for our protection, so we can't complain about it.'  hearing those words Luna nodded in agreement.

' Now, tell me about those things.' Keiran directed his sentence to the system Asking for the meanings of those things in his profile.

Taking the cue from his words the system displayed the details of respective sections.

[ Tier - A general classification of power distribution for Ether Users.

Tier 1 - A Living being who has just awakened is classified as a tier 1 being.

Tier 2 - When the awakened being gains full control of the power they received when they awakened.

Tier 3 - Once you gain full control of the ability you awakened, you have to gain the in-depth knowledge of the said element or nature of the power you gained. Once you have a basic understanding of that you will step in tier 3. ]

As Keiran read the three points he felt his worldview widen. Several thoughts passed through his mind as many hidden points in the statement caught his attention. 

' Are there other races that can use this power?' Keiran asked in astonishment.

[ You will understand the details when you see them for yourself but for now I will only say that every living being is blessed by Ether, only those who fulfill the conditions to wield it can use it.]

Those words gave the twins another shock, The theory that only the blessed can have ether was wrong. 

People could not be weird either because they do not hold the requirements to wield and one of the requirements is obvious to everyone ' One must be 10 years of age.'

'Are there only this many tiers?' Luna asked in a puzzled voice.

[ No, there are many more tiers other than that, but sub-host should not worry about it for now.] 

Hearing the words used by the system to address her, Luna's eyes twitch. She felt like the system was mocking her but she could not be sure of it.

Before she could speak the screen changed once again showing different sets of words.

[ Bloodline - Blood is more than just a fluid flowing through your veins, it holds information of your very being. It defines what you are. 

Bloodline is a trait that holds the information passed down from your ancestry. 

When the bloodlines come from a Family that wield powers like Ether, they will gain the inherited powers of the family.

For example: when a man has a power of ice his descendants with higher concentration of his bloodline have more chances to gain power related to ice. 

There are many powerful Bloodlines out there. 

Host should find the rest himself.]

Keiran and Luna silently processed the information while the system changed the words once again. The page displayed the words Blessings in grand manor.

Kieran silently looked at the screen as his eyes widened in shock. Luna was no different from his as she looked at the golden screen in front of the boy.

The screen showed 

[  — — Blessings — —  ]
