After that, he dropped his blood on the piece of paper as well. Then, something magical happened.
The piece of paper that was in his hands disintegrated. A golden light shone on it, as the small fragments of the paper flew into the air. Subsequently, they divided into two and charged towards what Jack and Samantha.
Even though Jack wanted to evade, he found out that he couldn't even move. It was as if he had been locked in place.
The golden fragment of paper sunk into his forehead. And at that moment, Jack felt that there was a connection that had been formed between him and Samantha.
Presently, he felt that he could completely control Samantha. Of course, there were some of the things that he couldn't do, like controlling her life and death.
Of course, that was controlled by the contract. As for who it was that was to pass the judgment as long as the contract was broken, Jack had no information about that.
Presently, Jack couldn't help but feel the wonders of the world. It seemed that he had to do a lot more exploration so that she could find out what it is that this world had hidden.
Previously, he had only aimed at creating an empire that was his in the business world and other sectors. But this time, it seemed that this empire of his was just at the bottom of the well. He had to get out of it so that he could explore the outside world.
[The system suggests that the host should remain patient and update his system authority to the second level before trying to explore the world.]
Jack had never expected something like that. But still, that was something that he intended to do first. He was eagerly awaiting the new functions of the system that he could access at the time that he would have the second level authority of the system.
As he was thinking about how to speed up in the process of the system upgrade, another system prompt appeared in front of him.
[You have earned a temporary slave for one year. Multiplier effect can be applied. Host, please select whether to have a qualitative increase or a quantitative one.]
Jack: "…."
Jack didn't know what to say at that moment. He could only stare at the small screen that was in front of him blankly. At the same time, his mind was already wondering, 'Can this happen as well? Isn't the system too overpowered?'
Jack's breathing stopped for a moment. His mind began spinning at a fast speed, as he began contemplating about what decision to make. After all, he had a choice to make.
'Angel, can you please help me understand what comes after a qualitative increase?' Jack didn't want to make a choice without thinking about it. So, he decided to understand everything first.
[With a qualitative increase, the current temporary slave that is possessed by the host will have a dramatic increase in strength and other abilities. Furthermore, the loyalty of the temporary slave will be increased to the maximum level.]
[As for the period that the temporary slave will remain, it will be for 1 year just like it has been stated in the contract. This is something that cannot be changed presently due to the low authority level of the host to the system.]
Jack: "…."
Jack's mind went blank again. He couldn't believe that something like that really existed. But at the same time, he was quite disappointed that the period that he would have the temporary slave was only for one year. The system couldn't increase it at all.
At this moment, Jack really wished that he could have increased the period that Samantha was going to work as Celine's bodyguard. But, it had already happened and there was no way that he was going to change that.
But then, Jack thought about something that didn't make sense to him. A temporary slave? What was that? According to what he believed, he and Samantha had come to an agreement that she was going to obey his commands while protecting Celine for one year. Subsequently, she would be free.
Additionally, this was a suggestion that she had brought up. So, Jack had not forced her to take on the role that she was currently taking. So, how come she was a slave at the moment?
[The host doesn't understand the contract that you have signed with Samantha. After signing the contract, everything that she has written on the contract must be followed to the latter. In case she fails to uphold her end, she will be obliterated by the force that upholds the contract agreement.]
[And since she decided that she was going to obey your words, and she is not your subordinate, then she is a slave. He doesn't have a choice at all. As long as you command her to do something, as long as it is not related to her life, then she is going to do it, or face the punishment of breaking the contract.]
[Since she doesn't have her freedom, then she is no different from a slave. And the period that she will be a slave is one year.]
Jack finally understood. But still, he was wondering what kind of mystical powers could actually make a contract like this. And at the same time, he was wondering where the people of the strongholds found the contract forms from.
This was something that could actually bind a person who was as strong as Samantha. And, this was something that only happened in fantasy. But on this day, Jack happened to see it happening with his own eyes.
'Okay then, what about the quantitative increase?' Jack asked.
[The quantitative increase is just the system granting the host 99 other temporary slaves that have the same capabilities as the one that the host currently possesses.]
[But different from Samantha, these other 99 don't possess a personality. They are no different from puppets, as they are not humans. Although they are in the shape of humans and may behave as humans, they will follow all the Instructions from the host, even if the host orders them to kill themselves.]
Jack: "????"
Jack's mind nearly blew up when he received this information. After all, who was Samantha? She was a strong person. And from the information that he had received from Erick, he knew that people of Samantha's caliber didn't hold a small position in the organizations that they belonged to.
Even in Erick's organization, they only had 12 of them that possessed abilities of the same level as him. But he, on the other hand, was going to be granted 99 people who possessed the same abilities as the guardians of the organizations.
Even though it was through that these 99 were not actually real people, that didn't matter. As long as they followed Jack's instruction, then it was enough. If he found a way to deal with the people at the top ranks of the organization, then the rest would literally obliterate the whole Panthers organization.
Jack was really tempted to rush to the stronghold, and ask the Panthers organization about the reason they had been looking for him and Nathan.
Even though it was true that the organization had not been looking for him actively, he was sure that as long as Erick passed the information back to the organization, they would come looking for him.
Samantha, who had already felt the connection that had been formed between her and Jack, looked at him. She was expecting him to give her a set of instructions.
But, she was surprised to find out that, Jack was simply staring at the air in front of him. Every so often, his expression would shift to excitement, confusion, confidence. She wondered what it was that Jack was thinking about for him to be like that.
But, she didn't dare to interrupt him. She stood in her position as she waited for him.
On the other side, Jack finally came to a decision. 'Angel, I would like to get a quantitative increase.'
[Multiplier effect applied. You have received 100 temporary slaves.]
[The 99 slaves can be summoned by the host anywhere. They can appear and disappear according to the host's wishes.]
[Note: The 99 temporary slaves will disappear the moment that the contract between the host and Samantha is nullified.]
Jack was once again surprised. He couldn't help but wonder why the system had somehow become overpowered at the moment. Or was it just that he was the one that who had not been utilizing the system to the maximum?
Then, if that was the case, Jack immediately began thinking about the ways that he was going to utilize the system to complete the condition that had been given for him to upgrade the system authority to the second level.
The 99 temporary slaves that he had received would disappear as long as the contract between him and Samantha expired. For that reason, he had to go to the strongholds within one year in case he wanted to utilize the 99 temporary slaves.
Even though he had already begun planning about what he was going to do when he got to the stronghold, he didn't want to risk anything. He wasn't sure if the system was going to grant him another 99 temporary slaves or permanent ones if possible in case he got another slave in the future.
[The host has to know that, the income that the host gains has to be legal. Samantha decided to become a temporary slave as a method of repayment for the mistake that she had made. For that reason, the system counts this as an income.]
[But, if the host goes ahead and forces other people to sign contracts to become his slave, then the multiplier effect will not take place. This is considered Illegal income by the system. The host has to work hard to gain legal income before the multiplier effect can take place.]
Jack was once again reminded about the definition of income that he had received from the system during the time that he first received the system. It seemed that he had to depend on others wanting to become his subordinate through the contract, rather than thinking about taking in others by force.
With that out of the way, Jack finally turned his attention to Samantha, who was still waiting for his instructions.
