I walked on the cold stone floor with my steps echoing through the place.
Till now, I didn't meet any monster which was a good sign to me giving me the will to keep moving forward.
Although I didn't turn left or right as the road ahead was straight.
The passage was faintly lit by the mana stones hanged on both sides of the wall giving me enough light to see ahead of me.
Until suddenly, my eyes caught the sight of well lit room ahead making my eyes lit up and increase my pace to reach it.
Once I reached it, I stepped inside just to find the room to be in a circular shape but what caught my eyes was the things inside.
There were statues, six in total, of women that were carved in a way that left me amazed and mesmerized.
They were so beautiful and had very alluring bodies that could make men drool over, the attire they wore concealed little, leaving much for the eyes to see.
Some were with horns and others weren't but there was something that caught my attention.
They oddly felt familiar, as if I had seen them before, but due to them being carved from stone I couldn't make out their true faces making me unable to tell who they were.
But that odd feeling of familiarity made me quite annoyed. It's like I know them but I can't tell the names.
But then in the middle of the room, there was a big stone column with something written on it which made me curious.
I stood in front of it and looked at what was written. Luckily it was in english, but that's weird, I thought something like that should be written in an old language that need a hell bunch of scientists to study and try to decode, so they could understand what was written. That's considering the place being ancient and looked like a temple or something.
But seeing this, it's so fucking weird dude.
If not for me trying to find a way out of here, I would have ran away immediately.
Anyway, I looked at what was written on the stone column and read it softly.
"For anyone who enter this temple, you are lucky for you got the chance to obtain a power that could make you stand on the top of your race."
"These different weapons are so powerful that they could be a source of good and evil depending on who is using them."
I turned my gaze to six statues again to see a weapon in front of each one of them, ranging from a katana, axe, bow, daggers, spear, and a gauntlet.
I looked again at the stone column and continued reading.
"Every weapon has a very powerful demon sealed inside, but these demons are not to be underestimated as they are the six primordial demons that exist since the beginning of the universe. You must be careful when you try to initiate a contract with any of them as they must demand something in return for using their powers. Demons, after all, are being of desire."
"To initiate a contract, you must put a drop of your blood on the magic circle in the middle of the room then wait for one of the six demons to choose you as their contractor. But never ever try to force your will on them for they will erase your soul from existence with a thought, be careful whoever you are."
Well, damn what I got myself into?
Not like I had a choice from the beginning, but damn if I just got one of these then I could have a power beyond what anyone could imagine. This is an opportunity to change me and my mother's life, I will show her happiness and protect her. But If I messed up, then I could really say goodbye for my life.
Must be careful and move with cautious.
Taking a deep breath, I looked down to see a carved big magic circle under me. All I need is a drop of blood and wait for the magic to work.
But, how the fuck I could make a wound in my finger without anything sharp?!
I'm not doing like those anime characters who would bite their fingers and make a wound by their teeth, its painful you know and would only make me suffer rather than a swift sharp object to do the deed.
Then my eyes instinctively turned to the weapons in front of each statue, they should be sharp to make a wound right?
Because, all I see is a weapon made of stone not actual weapon with a gleam of sharpness.
Anyway, I walked to the katana that looked to have a sharp tip before I put my finger on it and pushed a little just to feel a sting on my finger making me pull it back and look to see blood coming out.
So, they are sharp, huh.
Anyway, I walked to the circle and let a drop of my blood fall on it. Once it fell, the circle immediately lit up with a deep red light followed by a whispers coming from everywhere in the room.
The whispers were soft yet gave an eerie vibe making my skin crawl.
What is that?!
I looked at the six statues of the those beautiful women before I saw them glowing then noticed that the weapons that were laying on the platform in front of each one floated.
Is that the selection process where one of the demons would choose me?
BA-DUM
BA-DUM
BA-DUM
My heart was pounding fast that I could hear it in my ears, for some reason my heart started beating this fast when those weapons floated, then I felt something deep within me resonating with them making me wonder what would happen next.
But then, the whispers increased before suddenly, I heard it, a voice that was so captivating and alluring capturing my soul in an instant.
Clearly belonged to a woman.
"Finally, you are here~"
Then followed by another different voice of another woman but this time it had a different tone, soft like marshmello yet still alluring.
"After so much wait~"
"Yes, after a very long time, he is here~" another deep alluring sexy voice followed.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Another asked.
"Let's start the ritual."
"Let's state our demand to him."
I heard all of this while feeling dumbfounded.
Damn, just from their voices I could tell that if I saw their true faces, I would fall in love immediately.
Statues aren't enough to make me fall after all, and I'm not that desperate either.
During all of that, I seemed to ignore something very important, something that one of those voices said but didn't focus on it as I was captivated by their voices.
Then, an alluring voice sounded again.
"As expected, no matter how I look at him, he is we all desire~"
"That's right~"
"Then let's tell him~"
"Dear Dylan."
Suddenly I heard my name being spoken snapping me out of my state.
Wait a minute, I didn't tell my name to anyone, how did they know it?
"We know who you are, Dylan, everything about you~"
Now, that's a shit.
Wait, if they know everything, then that's mean they know that I'm reincarnated?!!
"Yes we know~"
Are you reading my thoughts?!
"Well of course, but your face could tell us how you think and feel though."
So, I'm that obvious, haha.
Anyway, let's see what what should I do to initiate the contract.
I took a deep breath and spoke.
"Then what should I do to make a contract with one of you?" I said concealing the nervousness in my heart.
"One of us?"
"He must be kidding."
"Yeah yeah."
Eh?
"Listen here dear, you are not making a contract with just one of us,"
Eh?
"But you are making a contract with all six of us~"
. . . .
Ehhhhhhhh?!!!!!
Mf!
