Death... and me

Roan shook his head in response, saying, “That’s not it. We will let them stay in the Dimensional Realm. Anyways, this is what happened.” Roan then used a Divine Sense message to inform him of all the events so far.

”So we can have more people now? That’s great!” Luan liked the idea very much since he definitely wanted to bring those kids with him.

”However, I’m only accepting these kids you gathered because I’ve been keeping an eye on you. I can tell whether they can be useful or not. You must and shall not talk about this new sect we’re about to build. Do you understand?” Roan asked.

Luan knew that Roan wasn’t kidding. After all, Roan almost never did something like that. “Understood, dad. Can I go bring them here?”

Roan nodded. “Alright. Remember to explain to them how it’ll be, though. They won’t be able to come out unless we allow them to do so. Their loyalty will be guaranteed by the Soul Binding Contract, so you must teach them very well what a Soul Binding Contract is and what happens if you break it.”

”I will definitely explain everything with all of the details. If some of them decide that they prefer to stay free, I won’t force them.” Luan immediately made a vow as he replied.

”Good, go now.” Roan nodded again, satisfied.

Luan quickly disappeared, heading back to the city. As for the twins, Rean took the opportunity to ask Roan, “What kind of people, demon beasts, or spirits are we looking for?”

Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, “We absolutely can’t have just goody-two-shoes. Although loyalty to the sect will be guaranteed through the contracts, that’s the only thing we will ask for. Everything else will be valid. We need struggles to happen between the members of the sect. Fight for resources and things like that are a must for the member’s development.”

”Are you saying that we should get some robbers or people with scheming natures or something along those lines?” Rean asked.

Roan confirmed Rean’s thoughts as he replied, “Exactly. These kinds of people will be the best to help the young and weak understand that they must fight for their own advantages. Especially since we can’t stop all the time to let them come out.”

Hearing that, Rean agreed with Roan. “Alright.” It was then that Rean got an idea. “Oh, right! We should ask Celis to grow a forest in half of our Dimensional Realm. We can capture many demon beasts of different levels and throw them inside. 150 kilometers of the forest is a lot of space.”

Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, “In fact, make Celis grow a forest that spans 250 kilometers. Leave only 50 kilometers for the sect buildings and other future things. Demon beasts are very territorial, so we need to give them as much space as possible.”

Rean didn’t mind it. “Sure, that shouldn’t be a problem. In any case, with Kentucky and Celis’ Divine Bloodlines, they can keep the demon beasts in check in case they try to leave the forest or kill each other non-stop. That will be the perfect training ground for the members of the sect.”

Rean then turned around after that. “Alright, you’ll wait for Luan, right? I’m gonna go ahead and take a look around the city. We have way too many Rank Two Divine Stones, but we’re almost running out of Rank One. I will trade some for them so that we can use them as rewards for the sect members. If I find anyone interesting, I’ll offer them the contract to join the sect as well.”

Roan stopped Rean, though. “Before you go, we haven’t decided on one thing yet.”

”What is it?”

Roan shrugged his shoulders as he replied, “What else? The name, of course. Although I don’t really care about names, it should still have one.”

Rean had to admit Roan was right. “That’s true… should we use Freedom Sect again?” However, Rean immediately threw away the idea. “No, our sect will be locked in the Dimensional Realm. What is there to be called freedom in such a place?”

Roan didn’t really care about the name, though. “You can just choose anything you like.”

”Hmm…” Rean continued to think about it. “Oh! How about the System Sect? We’re building it in the System’s Dimensional Realm, after all. It matters little if others understand what it means or not.”

Roan accepted it straight away. “So be it. The System Sect it is.”

Rean then told everyone in the Dimensional Realm about it, and they also accepted the name. Eventually, he took flight once more and entered Glastocen City to exchange his Divine Stones. Unfortunately, he got dejected in the end. Glastocen was a small city at the corner of Xinfia Continent. People there didn’t have that many Divine Stones.

Not everything was bad news, though. At the very least, it did have its teleport formations that they could use later. “Well, I can exchange the stones in the next big city.”

Suddenly, Rean felt that the number of living beings in the Dimensional Realm had increased by seven. “Seems like Luan brought quite a few kids that were willing to sign the contract.” Rean had already prepared the contracts anyway, so Roan could use them.

Inside the Dimensional Realm, Sister Orb was put in charge of taking care of those kids… which she didn’t like very much. [Hey! You better find some elders for this sect of yours, understood? I’m the System’s AI, not a teacher.]

Rean laughed in response, saying, “Hahaha! Alright, alright. It’s just a coincidence that Luan’s friends were the first ones to appear. We will get a lot of adults as well. Don’t worry.”

It was then that Rean smiled as he said, “Well, well, well… seems like I have just found our first adult. Let’s see if he’s willing to come.”
