He immediately clicked on the [Spirit-branded Retainer Contract] option and saw...
[Shika Kagura]
[Beginner-level Spirit-branded Retainer Host, uncontracted]
[Traits: Special ability, all-rounder, high growth potential, extremely high potential]
[Able to sign: Bond Contract]
[Bond Contract] … Seiji inspected it carefully.
According to the system's explanation, the [Bond Contract] was a contract that would automatically activate when a Spirit-branded Retainer's bond rating reached 100 or above. After signing this contract, the Spirit-branded Retainer would become a [Bond Contract] already signed. This would take up 10 points of Spiritual Power, and 10 points of exchange would be generated every day. The Spirit-branded Retainer's abilities and growth in the real world would be greatly increased, and new abilities would be awakened!
It seemed like a pretty good option.
However.
[Condition for signing: Recruit the Spirit-branded Retainer in the real world …] The corner of Seiji's mouth twitched.
He wanted to recruit Shika Kagura as his own Spirit-branded Retainer, but he wasn't even a Yin-Yang Master yet!
It wasn't something that he could use immediately … by the way, why did this option pop up?
In order to understand what was going on, Seiji checked his system's message log.
A few moments later.
He understood.
He used a [Unique Power Conversion Activation Card] and activated the [Unique Power Conversion] option. At the same time, due to the tremendous impact of activating the [Unique Power Conversion] card … let's just call it an impact.
After activating the [Unique Power Conversion] option, it automatically transformed the [Reaper's Curse of Karma] into [Spiritual Power].
The [Unique Power Conversion] option didn't give him a detailed explanation, but it was probably a special power that he received after coming into contact with the [Reaper's Curse]. It was a power that would bring misfortune or calamity upon him.
The [Unique Power Conversion] option transformed this formless [Karma] power into his [Spiritual Power] stat!
What was consumed was the exchange points that he had accumulated.
By the time the conversion was completed, he had converted a total of 5 points of [Spiritual Power] and used up 25 points.
This digestion … the ratio of consumption to conversion was still acceptable.
Seiji was more concerned about the fact that the G System could convert the power of "karma," or rather, the power of the "Reaper's Curse" itself … This gave him some guesses.
Now that his [Spiritual Power] increased to 5 points, along with his Hoshi Amami character reward card and Shika Kagura character reward card, he now had an additional 6 points to all his stats, which was a total of 11 points. He now had three new options: [Spiritual Power increase], [Mana increase], and [Spirit-branded Retainer Contract].
Among them, the condition to activate "Spiritual Energy Boost" and "Spiritual Energy Boost" was that his "Spiritual Energy" attribute had to be at least 10 points.
The conditions to activate [Spirit-branded Retainer Contract] were that one's "Spiritual Power" was at least 10 points, and that one of the Spirit-branded Retainer's favorability, friendship, or intimacy rating was at least 100 points.
That was how the three new options came about.
It's great that it's not a bug, Brother System.
The System, "…"
The dating sim system remained silent.
Seiji stared at the interface silently, as if he wanted to see through it and see the truth behind it.
"According to Wanhua Summer Night, the only person capable of suppressing the 'Reaper's Curse' is Seimei Kamijou.
As Seimei Kamijou's bloodline descendant, I'm currently being possessed by a mysterious and powerful system.
This system is capable of converting the power of the 'Reaper's Curse.'
"From this, it can be concluded that …
"System … dating sim system, dating sim system, my dear System, you're actually the strongest Yin Yang Master, Seimei Kamijou, right?"
Seiji lightly stated his own guess.
This guess was doubtlessly astonishing.
Seimei Kamijou … Although Seiji wasn't quite sure, he could faintly sense that the strongest Yin Yang Master in this field was incredibly important.
If Seimei was still alive, or perhaps he still existed, and was being possessed by a descendant in a special form … How much of an uproar would it cause if news of this spread?
Everything else aside, the Haruta Family would probably be the first to turn the world upside down!
Their greatest ancestor was actually still alive, and was being possessed by a descendant … a descendant who had been chased out of the family! This would probably shock the entire family to the core.
This was a classic plot from his previous life's fantasy web novels. Seiji commented in his mind.
However, this was only a guess.
As usual, the system didn't respond to his words.
Perhaps the dating sim system really was Seimei Kamijou, or perhaps it was simply a bloodline power passed down by him, or something else entirely.
Or perhaps he was wrong, and the system had nothing to do with this Yin Yang Master; it simply had the same level of power as him.
System … Seiji didn't know what this dating sim system was, nor did he know what it was.
It was highly likely that it was related to Seimei Kamijou, but in the end, this was just a guess.
Seiji smiled after silently observing the system for a while.
"Well, no matter what you are, system … I'm truly grateful to you.
I don't know if you were the one who brought my already dead soul into this world so that I could be reborn. If that's the case, then I owe you a debt of rebirth.
Also, because of you, I was able to save Mika, Hoshi, and Little Shi Kagura …
I can't even begin to express my gratitude for saving my life … Apart from all of this, you also helped me become capable of fighting and writing … and helped me in various ways.
At any rate, thank you so much. "
Seiji said sincerely.
Perhaps the system had a hidden purpose for helping him, but so what? He was just a dead otaku to begin with. Even if something happened to him, he would at most die again.
Seiji was quite open-minded.
He still didn't know what his system was. Perhaps he would find out in the future, or perhaps he would never find out.
No matter what, three fresh lives — three boys and girls — were only saved because of his system. Just this alone was enough for Seiji to be eternally grateful.
After expressing his gratitude, Seiji continued looking at his options.
He didn't notice that a faint white shadow had appeared behind him at some point.
This shadow seemed to be both male and female, and its eyes glowed with a gentle silver light. Its lips were arced upwards as it smiled faintly.
'No need to be polite, Lin … -kun.'
The white shadow silently said this sentence, and then quietly dissipated.
It was as if it had never appeared in the first place.
Seiji looked at the options for [Spiritual Power increase] and [Mana increase].
Under the [Spiritual Power increase] option, there was only one option, [Visualization], which was grayed out and unavailable. According to the description, it required a [Spirit Image] as the target for [Visualization].
Then what the hell was a [Spirit Image]? There was no explanation for that.
As for the [Mana increase] option, there was only one option, [Initial Form], which was also grayed out. According to the description, it required the user to wear a [Mana Training Outfit] in order to perform it.
Alright, [Spirit Image] and [Mana Training Outfit] …
Seiji felt like he would have to ask the Grand Mistress.
But in her eyes, he was just an ordinary person who didn't know much about [Spiritual Power] cultivation. Asking her about these obviously professional terms would definitely arouse suspicion.
