chapter 17: A new life.

on a cliff side with a view of the sun setting over a beautiful forest a group of people sat, enjoying the view as they played, talked and laugh without care for anything in this world, sat Herman as he heard a ominous call of his name that carried the stench of death, beautiful and insanity driven at the same time.

"Her.....man!",

"Her....man, H..er....man,

Herman!!!.

with heavy eyes Herman woke up facing a white ceiling and tears in his eyes from a distant memory of his past life.

sob!, sob!!.

"Hun, your finally awake, that's good"

boom!!.

"who are you" said Herman as he held the intruder in the room by the collar up high in the air.

"Good day, imperial joint race army, lieutenant steven rose at your service, sir and that would your doctor sir"

"and" said Herman, "and" what said the lieutenant.

"what are you doing here and where are Enoch and Cruz."

Adventurer Cruz and Enoch were called in to give a detailed report about your discovery and to help identify, autopsy and claim monster cores of all dead monsters within the premises, and will be returning as soon as they're done to check up on you, you've been out for two days, sir"

"now unhand me, sir" said the doctor, immediately the door opened and Cruz and Enoch entered alongside an unknown figure in a well decorated military uniform, white spikky hair, glittering red eyes that gave off a distinct youthful but dangerous feel as it stared at Herman the lieutenant and the doctor.

"How are you doing" said Cruz with Enoch by her side as they both came up to Herman,

"what the heck is wrong with you, why the heck did you go all ape style on that monster when we could have taken care of it together,

you had us worried, we thought you were dead!!!".

Herman found it weird, but for some reasons he felt Cruz and Enoch truly cared for him as stood beside him pestering him if he were ok.

"Hun hum" signified the stranger that made entry upon Cruz and Enoch's return, "oh" Herman this is colonel Vince Carter of the imperial joint race army."

" hey there, so your the human responsible for the surge in life energy, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am colonel vince carter of the imperial joint race army, but you can call me vince.

well now, I was told by Cruz and Enoch that they've already informed you about the worth a man or a progenitor in this day and age, and as the imperial officer in charge of this district it is my duty to inform you about the system and see what we can agree on.

firstly, I'm sure knowing these two the first thing they probably told you about is the imperial wish granting system we've settled up, said the colonel as he pointed at Cruz and Enoch, immediately as they both came into Herman's view they both burst into light but innocent chuckles, but in truth I'm just going to tell you know that it's a give and take relationship system between us and you, were we can both get what we want.

firstly, we gain the embers of life energy that human emit out from their bodies and grant you protection, and all required necessities needed for a successful living as long as they're not beyond what is within the government powers, so feel free to ask any question."

what would happen if I choose to live within your society without your protection said Herman, well we'll still have to allocate you with necessities like housing, wages and education in and area of friendly racial population to ensure your safety at the minimum replied the colonel.

seeing as it was Herman knew the government were hell bent on keeping tabs on him as a golden goose.

"Hun, alright but will I still be able to go monster hunting, yes replied the colonel, as well as every other activity of your choice but, provided we'll grant you security."

well then, secondly I'll like to know the bases on the racial friendly population sir, said Herman as he stared into the colonels red dominating eyes, this are races that can peacefully coexist with Humans without taking involuntary actions that can endanger your life.

such as, such as elves, dwarfs, giants, beast kins, dragon spun and so on.

now lets talk about the wish granting system, we can only go as far as granting a wish that help in ones growth and does not involve self harm, genocide and exterminator or harm to others.

so in other words think of it as a fancy card that can get you any thing within our society without a hint of stress and money based on the quality of life energy, but don't worry about that I can assure you that the life energy eminating from you is top tier.

so I think we're done, said the colonel but you have till after being discharged from the hospital to make up your choice and give us your response, until then I'm leaving you to the care of adventurer Cruz and Enoch, do have a good day, bye said the colonel as he stepped out alongside the lieutenant with a salute.

After that Cruz and Enoch stayed alongside Herman but eventually left him to think about the proposal.

after seeing that there were know downsides except for him having no private life Herman decided he might as well give in, but first decide to do a full body examination and found no injuries except for a black clump on his chest above his heart, thats when Herman remembered that he had a reward to collect from the system.

//??system??//

//??mission complete??//

//??(reward: dimensional pseudo monster dungeon key *1)??//

collect.

//?? would you like to merge pseudo shadow dungeon core to being = 10 level up and instant class selection??//.

//??yes, no??//

"huum"

not seeing any downsides except wanting to get rid of the black clump on his chest.

//??yes??//.
