Noah woke up feeling groggery, he was met with the white scenery again. It felt familiar but he could that it was not the same 'higher realm' that he visited earlier. It was only a feeling but seeing there were no noisy ball of light talking down to like he was a bug!
" Fancy seeing you here again." Noah almost jumped out of his skin hearing someone whisper in his ear. It's not like he had legs to do so as he too was a ball of light in this place!
" Fucking hell Nova! You almost scared me to death!"
" Wouldn't that be a good thing? At least your soul would be able to move on freeing me from all this trouble." There she was with that depressing train of thought. Since he came here, everyone was trying hard to kill him that he couldn't even catch a break!
" Funny.."
" Since you are here than I can presume that you passed out again. I hope it wasn't from having too much fun with that girl you have been fawning over."
" What the heck are you even talking about?"
" Sex? I hear that's all what lower lifeforms from the lower realms aspire. I never understood their hunger for lust."
" Good on you for that. At least, I have something over you now." Instead of getting angry at her calling him in a demeaning tone, he was used to it. What else could he do about it when they had absolute control here?
" Feeding into your carnal desire is nothing to be proud of. Evolved people like us broke that shackles long ago."
" Is that why you guys are so grumpy all of the time? Ow.." Nova buttheaded him, which was strange because they always seemed to phase through him like gas cloud.
" I am not going to argue with you about how you guys procreate, it's gross either way. I want to talk to you about what will happen next."
" Next?"
" Yes, I watched your fighting with all those people and I have to say you really are too weak. I mean even lowest of the low life forms would need one breath to kill you on spot. I don't understand why didn't you use your powers in the fight."
" I did use my rifle right? What more do you want from me when I only have a ten kilogram capacity of summon!" Noah said frustratingly. The restrictions were too strict for him to do anything, he was also injured and tired from his earlier fight with Henwen.
" You could have summon...forget it. At least you managed to survive."
" Come on tell me!" Samuel felt like he was talking to a moody teen going through whole range of mood change and was not giving him anything. If they told him how to use his bloody power, he wouldn't have to get injured after every fight.
"*sigh* Here." Nova purposefully made a noise before everything lit up and a status screen appeared in front of him.
" Are you kidding me?" Instead of being happy, Noah was furious. It was the same bland status window that he had seen the last time he was here!
" What?"
" It's the same! Where is things like strength, magic abilities and such. Isn't that how things should be? Me being able to see the power levels of others so that I will know when to fight and when to run away." There was also a gray section that he wanted to get in but from how she was, there was very little chance of her explaining anything to him.
" This- Summon-Specification. Here- Eye- for protection."
" Protection?"
" You will know what to do. Just next time remember that you have it."
" Also-"
" What now!?"
" I mean...I want to ask if there was something wrong with my body?" Noah decided to be polite on the surface even though he was thinking about thousands of ways to kick teach the little piece of shit some manners!
" I don't want to tell you. First you gave me a weird name and look at me now? I can't even manifest myself anywhere because I have to sign a contract with you. You know how boring things get when you are all alone in this empty room?"
" Can't you return to your original home? You were able to do that-"
" I said I can't! I have to stay close to you or-"
" Or?"
" forget it. It will go over your head regardless or whether I tell you or not." Noah was speechless. He didn't know just how dumb these people thing he is? He was a college graduate for god's sake!
" Regarding your body. I think my superior did mention that since you falled into this place unexpectedly and stuck here like a glitch in the system everything regarding you is strange. You seem to heal faster, display strength close to someone having unique abilities in strength department and even manage to use magic at will. I have to admit you are the most impressive when it comes to any lower realm individual that I observed over the years."
" I am that powerful?" Noah was surprised. Considering people like Nova didn't seem to have concept of time, she must have witness countless people over the years. Despite her tone, he took it as a compliment.
" Don't let that get in your head. You are also a mortal and to them death is a natural thing but you do have some potential."
" Thanks I guess?"
" I don't need your thanks. I need you to recover fast so that I could get out of this place." Noah was surprised to hear her say that. Is this contract such a powerful thing? Did they write the terms and conditions like those scummy businesses do on Earth: fine print that could only be visible under a microscope!?
