Aidan went to the said escort/examiner and told his decision, "Can I do the examination of my affinity, maybe... Tomorrow or in any other day?"
She nodded and explained further, "Yes, you can. But the free of charge will only be eligible for one month, or else you need to pay for the service. And my name is Chloe, here's my contact information to ask me when we can go to test the rest of your affinity." Raising her left wrist and twisted clockwise and the windowed popped up showing 'Scanning Available Contact Information'.
Aidan did the same action and successfully got her contact before looking up to her, "Well, err. I want to go the infirmary first to have a full body check up."
"I can send you there, let's go." Chloe turns around and brief about the school to him while they're on their way to the infirmary. "And you can use the map function in your bracelet if you got lost in the school ground. Remember that the map is only available in this school and read carefully about some signs and warnings indicated in the map. Most places aren't accessible to you with your current identity class."
They reached the infirmary and Chloe knocks on it before turning to say to him, "If you don't have any concern now, I'll be going first."
Aidan shook his head and smiled to her, "There's none for now, thank you."
"Your welcome."
He stares at her back then knocks on the door before going inside, and only to see the beds that is empty and a woman in her coats sleeping beautifully on her desk.
Making him speechless for a moment before scratching his head for what to do. He is contemplating if he will wake her up or not, before thinking, 'Maybe, I should go to the hospital. She seems tired and maybe in this kind of hour, she's too free to do something.'
With his decision, he's gone out of the infirmary and started to walk away towards the hospital with the help of his map.
Not knowing that just before he completely closed the door, the doctor inside snickers and thought, 'What a good boy~ Seems there will be an interesting student again, huh?' And she went back to her nap.
Aidan reached the school hospital and inquired where to go to get a full body check up.
Inside the room, the doctor assigned to him, told him to wait and laid down on the bed. "Since you said you have a... Unique physique. I'll make things ready first. You can take a nap for a bit because it will take time as you're the first person to have that kind of 'side effect'. And I'm sure you're not kidding with me here, right?"
"Got it, doc. And no, I don't. I swear." Aidan shook his head and did what he was told to.
"Good."
That's the last thing he heard as he gently closes his eyes.
Then in a second, he snaps his eyes opened and found himself back in the after life.
He tried to look around but he can't before thinking, 'I'm dreaming again and this time... It seems so vivid, huh?' He is floating in front of a tattered shop, with a burly hunchbacked man beside him. Gestured him with tilting his head to the door. "Go in."
As he went inside of the tattered shop, he noticed an old man at the back of the counter, wearing a suit of an old pirate, that seems so sleepy but turns to look at him after feeling his presence in his territory.
"Hello, my friend. Welcome to my humble shop. Just call me Old Siac. And so, what do you want to exchange your merits with?" He greeted him perfunctorily and went straight to the point, gesturing at him to look at the old parchment on the counter.
Or a list of things that he can exchange with his merits.
He look at the list with excitement. He didn't noticed why he feels like that for no reason at all, like he became a happy child that enough to ignore anything after getting his lollipop.
With unknown time that has been spent looking, he already finished selecting his choices.

"Are you sure with this? You can check the things at the back firs-" Old Siac asked worriedly after seeing what he chose, but was interrupted.
Aidan slaps the counter with both hands as he leans forward and shouted excitedly, "Yes! Yes! Can I go now to my next life!? I can't wait to start my journey to be a legend!"
Old Siac didn't mind his rude behavior since he is already used to this and nodded calmly, "Sure thing."
Then Aidan saw Old Siac turns his back to him and pulls out two old parchments at his old wooden drawer and before he can wait for more couple of seconds.
Old Siac gave him a copy of the contract and then both sides signs with their soul as their signature.
In a minute, Old Siac waves his copy to the air and put it inside of one of the tattered wooden drawers behind him. Without forgetting to say, "Just go to the reincarnation portal and show that contract to the personnel that stationed there and he will know what to do next. Ah! And remember to read the-!"
Aidan didn't bothered to listen to Old Siac's usual reminder and shouted, "Then thanks!" Before floating away from the shop, leaving Old Siac speechless for a moment.
What Aidan didn't know.
Old Siac sighs and said as he looks at the man floating away, "Fucking conditions at the back, you moron..." Before shaking his head as he flips the contract. "Oh... Well... It's not my fault if you dive into the hell by yourself."

{At the back}
[Clause No.1: The stronger the beasts you got as your personal power, the stronger the backslash you need to shoulder.
Warning: Once you accepted this exchange, you will face the wrath of the Book of Fate (Even if you helped it once).
Note: A Fate that isn't in the Book of Fate will be infected by the Chaos Element in the Universe creating this 'Corruption' Effect.
Since you're not in the respective world of the said power system, your own fate will be affected by beast's fate by consuming its meat and integrating its soul (Declaring its fate with yours, for being listed out in the Book of Fate), causing your body and soul to accumulate 'Corruption' that can affect the people who are near you.
The longer they are with you, the faster they will died, because your 'Corruption' is affecting their fates in the Book of Fate.
While at the same time, their respective skills will make you accumulate 'Corruption' more faster for each usage.
Tip: Getting Merits can erase the 'Corruption' within the body and soul. Please see the list for how to get merits at the back of the next page...]

'Interrupting me twice. You're on your own, boy.' He lastly murmurs as he reads the things at the back of the contract, with a sneer.
"It seems that you scammed another ignorant soul, huh?"
Just to hear the voice of the person who guided Aidan to his shop.
Old Siac glances at the guide, only to see the person's back that walking away slowly, before shrugging. "He's too calm, I need to do something , or I'll lose my business. And it's not scamming, the list of things didn't came from me even the conditions at the back of the contracts too. You know that, didn't you?"
But the guide didn't bothered to stop and reply to Old Siac.

Aidan floats away towards the reincarnation portal, he can only watch himself from the past for what he did. Since he is in this dream, flashing back the memories that so detailed.
He finally noticed that there was something wrong within that shop. Remembered the thing that Old Siac wants to make him read at the back of the contract.
But he can't control this dream to do that. And after all, once reincarnated, the said contract won't be reviewed anymore.
That's why he wanted to know how worse his 'curse' can be. He can't do full body check up before because he doesn't have enough money or savings to do that.
He thought that as long as he knows the basic effect of his 'curse' he can prioritize other things first. Hence, he is now like this, alone.
And maybe, the professionals in the Mundo can make, something like, detailed information about himself. He didn't care anymore even if the officials know how 'unique' he is.
As long as he didn't become a guinea pig of the scientists for the sake of the 'humanity' and within his morality, he is fine with the future assignments to him by the officials.
His mind went back to his dream and noticed that he reached the personnel of the reincarnation portal. He saw himself handing the contract to him and after a simple check of authenticity of the contract, the personnel handed it back to him before saying, "Follow me."
They ended up in a tattered room, it's just a simple room. No window, only a door and a big ritual circle symbol in the center. "Go to the middle of the circle then wait for your contract to disintegrate into dust by itself, and these dusts will fuse in your very soul so the portal can recognize your contract with this Realm of the After Life."
The past 'Aidan' did that with excitement while the present 'Aidan' tried his best to focus on the back of the contract that is spinning slowly as it floats after the ritual circle shines with a gloomy green light.
Then, there's no 'then' anymore.
'What the fuck!? Who said 'slowly'!? It was gone in a blink of an eye!!!' He shouted within his mind with a fit of rage after seeing the contract floated as it to start to disintegrate slowly for one second, then after the second second, the contract turned into dust.
He only got a glimpse of the word 'Warning:' making his physical body sweats so coldly.
After seeing the deed was done, the personnel gestured him to go outside and said, "Since you still have enough merits, you can spend 100 Merits to go into the Shop District of the Realm of the After Life to help yourself. But please remember to think the 'Shop District of the Realm of the After Life' strongly and accurately. Not the Realm of the After Life, the Realm of the Hell nor the Realm of the Heaven, or else, no one can save you anymore. Then please..."
The present 'Aidan' became curious about this after hearing those reminders, and wanted to ask why, but he can't.
Then both 'Aidan' stared at the greenish eyed pupil personnel after noticing his pause and heard him continued, "See you in next life~"
Then the past 'Aidan' hurriedly jumps into the portal after nodding at the personnel that 'he' get it.
While the present 'Aidan' thought with helplessness, 'I was fucked up... Aren't I?'
