Is this really a Game?!

Beast decided to trust Orobos in the end and gave him the fruit. It would be kept safe and would not be used until Beast managed to take his reward, which could potentially take centuries, but for a place like the mansion, it was not a long time at all.

Finding a fruit of the dead was something that was incredibly hard to be done and could take many millennia, the Mid God Glosan believed he would be able to get a new fruit in a couple of decades, but that was thanks to his ignorance. He had managed to locate one quickly before, but many factors came into play for that, perhaps it was even his destiny to get one and rise above others, but Beast was someone that had immense luck, such that Reign and the others believed he would be the main character of a , always getting lucky and finding good stuff, even during a dangerous situation.

( Yup, you heard it, Beast is the real MC hahaha )

Orobos took out a contract and both he and Beast signed it, only that next to their signatures, there were two more, only Beast was unable to read the signatures as the words were seemingly moving around and shifting.

"Those two signatures are from the young lady and the master, they are beings that stand high above and are much more powerful than us, even I can barely catch a glimpse of a single letter when it comes to their signature as they have signed it using their true names, something that must be done in order for the contract to fully bind you."

Orobos explained as he saw how confused Beast was after looking at the two signatures.

"I see, so that is how a true name is used."

"Well, partly, there are more ways to use it, a true name is not for show, especially the true name of a god."

"This contract has now been accepted by the system, and if either of the two parties that have signed it were to break it, the system will make sure to heavily penalize the party, so you can be sure that nothing bad will happen, the penalty for breaking such a contract is incredibly high, and the losses are much bigger than a single fruit of the dead, so we will definitely keep our end of the deal."

"And as you have wanted, I have put in the second clause as well, you can be certain that it will be respected in the case of such a thing being needed," Orobos told Beast who nodded at him seriously.

Nobody knew what the second clause was as Beast had asked Orobos to keep it a secret, prompting the Saint to place a barrier around himself and Beast so that nobody would be able to hear or see them.

It was a simple one, however.

It is stated that if Beast was to, unfortunately, die before managing to fulfill the contract and get the payment, it would be split evenly to Reign and the others while the mansion would be allowed to keep and use the fruit.

Seeing such a selfless act that Beast had performed made Orobos smile as he understood that the bond Beast and the others shared was a deep one, full of trust and mutual respect. It was advantageous to the mansion as well as all of the members of his group were talented individuals that had been marked, which made it highly possible that one of them will be able to become a notable figure in the future.

Orobos had only met Reign and the other two, but he had heard that the other members of the group were equally amazing, which led to him understanding that they were definitely on the same level, which made it impossible for a god not to have marked them as well.

Orobos placed the fruit in a special container, one that would actually freeze time itself and allow the fruit to not wither, no matter how much time had passed. Even if it was to be opened a thousand years in the future, the fruit would still possess the same qualities and will be usable for the next 10 000 years.

Upon taking the fruit, Orobos nodded to all of them before disappearing as he made his way back to the mansion in order to bring the fruit back. He was certain that his arrival would be welcomed since nobody suspected that Beast had managed to get something so valuable.

The contract given to him was an empty one, with only the two signatures being present, allowing for Orobos to write the terms and conditions depending on what Beast had gotten, something that was done because nobody knew what the item was.

"So, how are you feeling?" Reign asked Beast who had gotten up from the bed.

"A bit groggy to be honest, I'm hungry as well, but overall I feel good."

"He should rest today as well, just to be certain." The queen suddenly said as she looked at Beast.

"I sense no remaining world energy on him, but his body is a bit weak since he was unable to eat or move for the last couple of days, one day should be enough to get him back to his normal state, so no going out to fight today, you understand?"

"Yes, ma'am, understood," Beast said as he nervously saluted the queen, making her and everybody else laugh at his actions.

"Alright, come on, let's fix you up with something to eat, you must be starving." The queen said as she took Beast's hand, making the young man blush a bit. Reign and the others noticed that, and tried their best not to laugh again while showing kissing motions to Beast and mocking the situation he was in.

"Alright, I guess we should go and find a suitable place for M'azgara's portal today, right?" Reign asked the other two who nodded at his words while Eldar and the others left after telling them goodbye.

Reign had already purchased a special portal that would be used to send M'azgara and her brood over to other areas. Luckily, they already had the large cave systems, which made it very easy for the portal to be placed.

The monsters would also need a place to stay, which would also be the cave systems. Reign would have given them the entire underground city as well, but since the graveyard was placed there, he decided against it.

It would be easy for him to move the entire graveyard using his privilege, it would be finished in a moment, without even a blade of grass missing, but it wasn't only the graveyard that had value to the people, but its location as well.

They had lived in the underground city for months and it was a sort of reminder for everyone. The good times, the bad times, the sad times, many of such things had occurred down there and Reign wanted to preserve it so that everyone could remember how they had started this journey, and how it was now progressing.

The cave systems could be expanded, and M'azgara planned on doing so in the future when her brood was too large for it, but for now, it would be enough for hundreds of them to stay inside, which let them have quite some time before having to expand.

Reign and the others hadn't found a suitable area yet, they needed to find a place where the brood could easily go and hunt lower-leveled and higher-leveled monsters in order for M'azgara to benefit from them fully.

She was planning only on making monsters that were Tier III, from low-grade to the peak, which allowed Reign and the others to have a good opportunity to find a suitable spot.

They wouldn't place the portal at the mountain range as that could make it more difficult for the players to level up. Having to compete against the monsters that had no intelligence nor emotions was not easy as the monsters didn't care whether they lived or not and would charge at the enemies with the sole purpose of killing and devouring them so that they could bring the brood mother nutrients back.

Reign and the others had still not gone to the area that was next to the mountain range, opposite where the base of the enemy organization was. They were going to place the portal there if they found nothing since the area was quite good when it came to the level of monsters, but the swamp made it difficult for most monsters to move around and the bodies that M'azgara would devour would make it hard to make monsters that could easily move around other areas as well.

They were going to explore the other place, but before doing that, Reign was going to visit Tord, the young man that was the direct disciple and the second body that the enemy leader had prepared.

He had been allowed to freely move around the territory so he could gather himself, and now it was time to talk to him again and see what he planned on doing in the future.
