Contract (1)

So, I died because a dimensional rift suddenly occurred near me?

(Correct) The woman immediately answered my question in an even voice

ugh... why do I always have bad luck...

Eh?

...Wait

Did she just answer me?

(I listen to every word that's on your mind.)

my face froze, and cold sweat started to pour out of my body, I was scared when I heard the statement this woman gave, The woman in front of me was not a random creature, was I involved with a dangerous creature?

Actually, what is this creature in front of me?

I think I know the identity of the creature right in front of me, but I prefer to deny it.

My fear slowly began to disappear when I thought about my death.

"..."

Silence occurred when I thought back to what happened to me, at this time there was a strange feeling that came over me, this was not a feeling of sadness or regret because I had died, what was this feeling?

(Are you annoyed?)

Annoyed?

(Are you mad?)

she's right, this is not a feeling of sadness but rather overflowing anger because my efforts over the years seem meaningless.

(This is the act of an arbitrary god.)

God?

(That's right. the planet you visited last time is a zone that cannot be touched because of an agreement.)

Agreement? What does it mean?

(I will bring you back to life if you agree to fight against the gods.)

"Ah!"

Suddenly excruciating pain enveloped my body, I fell and curled up because of this sudden pain

"Ugh! What happened to my body?!"

(I will move you to a world where magic exists if you agree to my offer.)

"I agree, I agree! Hurry up and stop this pain!"

The woman watched Dendi rolling around in pain, she raised his hand and pointed at Dendi. A thread of light came out of the woman's index finger and landed right on Dendi's chest. Dendi felt a strange feeling when the thread of light touched his chest

(With this contract having been established, I will immediately transfer you but the process will be hampered because...)

Contract? What is she talking about? Why do I feel so sleepy right now?

I felt my body weaken and I began to have difficulty breathing, all my senses began to weaken. As a result, the woman's voice began to become inaudible to my ears

Dendi couldn't hear the woman's voice, as the woman's words began to become incoherent, Dendi's body began to lose strength, even to the point where he couldn't breathe, Dendi began to lose consciousness and the last thing he saw was her lips. The woman smiled slightly.

***

I can't see anything...

How long have I been here?

It's like endless darkness, I can't move my body, I don't even know whether I'm opening my eyes or not, this darkness is sickening.

While Dendi was deep in thought, suddenly there was a bright light that illuminated the darkness before his eyes.

"What's that?"

The light got brighter and started to dazzle his eyes, Dendi tried hard to move his hands so he could reach the bright light in front of him. When Dendi stretched out his hand, suddenly the light embraced and pulled his body, and then, Dendi lost consciousness again.

"Uwahh!"

I woke up in a room that had the feel of a medieval noblehouse, the interior design was quite simple for a room that was quite large.

This... I was in bed? When was I here? And who moved me here?

"Where am I this time?"

"You are in the facilities provided by Saintess."

I quickly looked in the direction the voice came from. I was surprised by the presence of a girl right next to me, the girl was wearing a maid outfit and holding clothes in both arms.

Wait a minute, isn't this strange? Why can't I feel her presence even though she is right in front of me?, even though I look like someone who will die if I get hit by just one blow still I am a middle-class dimensional explorer, There is something strange about this girl.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Nina, I am a maid assigned to look after you while you are in this facility sir, also you don't need to speak formally to me because I'm just a maid."

"oh, okay fine, so your name is Nina?"

'That's right sir." She answered my question by bowing her head slightly

"Can I ask you a question, Nina?"

"I will answer your question as best as I can."

I have to get information from him even if the information is not important.

"Nina, you mentioned something about the saintess earlier, who is she?"

"A saintess is someone who has the highest authority in the empire besides the king because a saintess is a person who can communicate with gods."

Eh? God again? Why do all the new people I meet always talk about gods?

"Apart from that, soon you will meet the saintess in person. This is the reason why I am here, sir."

"Ah, I'm going to meet the saintess?"

Isn't the timing too convenient? Is this a coincidence? As soon as I woke up I was told to meet this saintess figure.

"Yes, sir, I brought you clothes and food. If you don't like the food or the clothes don't fit your body, please tell me, sir. I will immediately change them."

"Ahh, don't change it, it's okay, I like the food"

Who would say no to beef?

Just from the smell, you can be sure that it is delicious meat

"Okay sir, I'll take my leave"

"y-yeah okay"

Sh*t, I'm not used to this formality.

Nina stood up and went to the door, but then she turned to me and said. "When you have finished your food and changed clothes, you are expected to go to the field to the east of this house sir, because people seem to have gathered there."

I fell silent hearing Nina's words

...People?

Does that mean I wasn't the only one who was revived?
