"Alright then, system awaken contract gem ability, edit it, and scan Isabelle's condition"
[ Innate ability: Contract gem
Description: On the basis that the individual who devours this has no resistance to the user, then the individual will be completely controlled by the user
The user will also gain the innate abilities of the devourer as well as completely control its life and death, and in return, the user can choose to impart some of their abilities and strength on said individual
In case of the death of the contractor, the user still retains all abilities.
Contract gems can be created with magic power; the higher the realm and energy quality, the higher the possibility that the contract gem awakens different traits in the contractor and user.
[Does the host spend 600Dp to awaken it?]
[Does the host spend 50DP to scan character Isabelle?]
[Does the host spend 100Dp to edit contract gem ability?]
Reading the system, Damien, who had been excited for this moment, suddenly felt a pang of pain in his chest
"Sigh… a total of 750Dp, we haven't even reached the Elf empire, and I've spent my Dp halfway"
"I guess finding ways to make more DP has to be put on the agenda during this trip"
Talking to himself, Damien sighed as he saw the measly 1500 Dp in his account.
In this era, still far from the main plot, every point of DP spent was valuable, as he didn't have a way to stably replenish it yet
For a story that hadn't started, how could he change the plot
Had the incident with his father not happened, he probably wouldn't have had anything.
However, even at that, after a rather deep sigh and firm eyes, Damien's decision remained final
*Regardless of whether I can or cannot earn any more, at least this 750 is something I have to spend*
Thinking of the dangers of the future, Damien instantly made his choice
"Yes!"
"Spend 750Dp!"
And the system receiving the command immediately began to act.
[Command received]
[Beginning to awaken and edit contract gem ability!]
*Bang!*
Along with this prompt, with a loud bang, Damien instantly felt like his soul seemed to implode
"Arghhh!"
"What the hell is this! Why didn't anyone tell me it would be this painful!?"
*Thud!*
Falling from his seat, Damien instantly knelt, his body withering in agony.
Clawing at his silver hair, his blue eyes had streaks of red as the blood in his body seemed to heat up
A situation that shocked Isabelle to her core.
"Young master! What happened!"
"Are you alright! Please answer! Answer me, young master!!!"
Screaming in shock, the whole carriage suddenly turned chaotic as Isabelle couldn't understand what was happening.
In her desperation, she kept trying to call out to Damien. Unfortunately, he just kept writhing and shouting in agony
And Isabelle, afraid to touch him and make his condition worse, could only helplessly watch, calling out to him constantly.
"Damn! Why am I so weak! Why can't I do anything to help!"
"Why! Why! Why!"
Muttering under her breath, Isabelle, who a few minutes ago gained some confidence in herself thanks to talking to Damien, instantly lost it
Once again, she felt her uselessness and began to doubt the meaning of her existence.
Could someone like her even help her young master?
Would she always have to stand and watch while he went through great pain?
Talking to herself, Isabelle felt completely helpless.
Fortunately, just as cracks had begun to appear in her heart, a familiar voice made its way into her ears.
"Argh…, calm down, Isabelle, I'm not dead yet"
"If anything, I haven't killed that Void demon god for what he did to my father, so how can I die?"
Gritting his teeth, Damien struggled to sit up, although still in agony, but the initial pain had reduced by a large margin
*Shit, I forgot in this world, abilities are tied to the soul, so me editing an ability is like ripping up my soul and stitching it together in a different position*
Recalling the pain he just felt, he knew that was his ability being ripped and reorganised.
With the system's powerful strength, something that seemed impossible was accomplished in a matter of minutes.
"However, considering this pain, I'll have to be careful when I edit abilities in the future, if I don't want to end up killing myself from the pain"
Sighing slightly, he turned to look at Isabelle.
For this maid of his, he knew that she had low self-esteem because she seemed to have no talent in magic and aura, making her an ordinary person
A situation which could only change if she managed to gain some strength.
Thinking of this, while still struggling with the pain of his ability being edited and re-grafted, Damien silently issued another command to his system
"System, call up Isabelle's information"
Fortunately, at this time, the system had already scanned Isabelle's body, so without any hesitation, her information came into view
*Perhaps now I can understand what mum and dad meant by sending Isabelle with me*
Muttering inwardly, Damien looked forward to the information; however, what he saw next left him shaken
[Name: Isabelle ??
Race: Half Demon(Demon bloodline unawakned)
Age: 21 years old
Realm: none
Affiliation: Voss household
Innate abilities: ??,??
Skills: Basic homemaking, Basic cooking, Basic cleaning ]
"What! Half demon!?"
"How is this possible! What the hell are mom and dad thinking!?"
Lost in shock, Damien couldn't believe what he was seeing, so much so that he didn't even notice that he screamed out loud
"Demon? What demon? Young master, you're scaring me!"
Looking at Damien worriedly, Isabelle was confused. What demon? Could it be that her young master was suddenly attacked by a demon?
Was he being possessed or something?
However, before she could even process what was going on, Damien suddenly stretched his right hand, motioning for her to keep quiet
"Calm down, Isabelle, I need to think"
Ignoring her, Damien began to recall some information he had read about half-demons
"Half demons, the fall of the Voss family, the twilight association…!"\
"It's all making sense!"
recalling more and more information, the light in Damien's eyes began to shine brighter and brighter
It seems his parents had truly left him a good surprise.
