[Alright then. I'll help you in exchange for that demonic essence you got me from that king mage.] The system cackled.
On hearing this, Max didn't say anything and just nodded. Although he knew that demonic essence should net him many shop points in exchange, his life was worth much more.
Furthermore, it wasn't as if his miserly system was going to reimburse for the demonic essence. Why? Because ever since they extracted it, he had been asking for shop points, but the system always gave excuses like I'm busy or I'm calculating your shop points or sometimes it would just play dead. So, he had lost any hope of getting anything in return for that essence.
Now that the system was offering to help me in exchange for that, he didn't have any problem accepting the deal, even though he faintly felt he was losing out quite a lot here.
