Shiki was frozen in place,

But Lilisa didn't have time to rejoice.

The ice cracked open again,

Her attacks were ineffective, Shiki continued to approach.

Lilisa dropped to her knees, seeing this scene unfold.

Shiki stopped in his tracks, wondering what was going on.

"Lilisa knows she is deeply sinful, and has angered you, but her sister is innocent..."

She glanced at Rorosa, who had fainted behind her, and continued, "Although she is timid, playful, and foolish, completely lacking in sisterly qualities, she always relies on Lilisa for help..."

Listening to the girl's words, Shiki looked bewildered. What is going on? Is this part of the plot?

This feels too real. The NPCs in this game are so well-developed. I have to give it a good review when I log out later.

"Lilisa is willing to offer her body and soul in exchange for your forgiveness towards her sister. Please spare her..."

Lilisa, who always had a calm expression on her face, was now shedding tears, which tugged at Shiki's heart.

"Conditions for soul contract fulfilled. Proceed with the contract?" the system voice announced.

"What is that?" Shiki glanced at the description. A soul contract is a pact where one party completely submits to another, offering their body and soul to their master.

If the master dies, so does the contract holder, but not the other way around.

Undead creatures are basically bound by soul contracts.

After understanding what a soul contract entails, Shiki became suspicious. If that's the case, why didn't the system mention this method earlier?

This method could have fulfilled the hidden quest too...

Damn, this system must be trying to trick me into becoming a villain. It actually wants me to harm a little girl. Is the system even human?

"No...," Rorosa suddenly woke up, forcing out a weak cry, trying to stop Lilisa.

"Sister..."

"If someone has to sign the soul contract, let it be me!"

The system voice rang out again, "Conditions for soul contract fulfilled. Proceed with the contract?"

Shiki hadn't expected to encounter two foolish children right from the start, but this seemed to be the only option. It could relieve the fear effect on them and complete the hidden quest at the same time.

A win-win situation!

"Execute."

Accompanied by the system's voice, two contract documents floated down and landed in front of Rorosa and Lilisa.

"I am the sister! Just let me sign!"

"No, sister is foolish, she can't sign this."

"Even if she's foolish, she's still your sister!"

The two continued to argue, and Shiki found this twin pair quite interesting. This game is really good. The NPCs are so realistic. I wonder what the outside world is like.

Rorosa took the initiative and pressed her handprint on the contract, followed closely by Lilisa. The two would live and die together.

They had no choice but to obey, faced with this terrifying monster that suddenly appeared.

With the contract now in effect, it returned to Shiki. From now on, these two adorable dragon girls belonged to him completely.

The fear effect on Rorosa and Lilisa was lifted, and they were free to move again.

Shiki glanced at their information.

"Rorosa and Lilisa? Twins, both legal lolis. I like that. But why don't they have any attributes like my character? This game is too stingy..."

"Ding! First phase of the Source of Calamity Quest completed. Reward: Hidden Quest Scroll x1. Proceed to the next phase of the Source of Calamity."

"Dragon Clan Source of Calamity (Phase 2)"

"As the calamitous twins under the rule of the Death Lord, they will become valuable subordinates of the Death Lord. However, before that, they need to grow."

Shiki glanced at the completion conditions and rewards for the second phase, both of which were unknown...

But judging from the description, it seems to be about improving Rorosa and Lilisa's strength.

"And what is this hidden quest scroll for?"

While Rorosa and Lilisa were happy to be able to move freely again, they also started to feel scared because they had just sold their souls to the monster in front of them.

Even if he wanted to do something strange to them, they knew they had to obey and couldn't resist."Both of you..." Putting aside the matter of the hidden quest scroll, Shiki looked at Rorosa and Lilisa.

Rorosa and Lilisa both looked back at Shiki.

"Yes, master!" Rorosa responded seriously.

"Sister is getting into character too quickly," Lilisa commented on the side.

Children are indeed easier to talk to, Shiki thought to himself. "Where is this place?"

"Master, this is your tomb!"

"Silly sister, of course master knows that. Master, this is the Dragon Realm. Lilisa is answering on behalf of her clumsy sister."

These sisters are quite interesting, Shiki thought to himself, feeling like he understood a bit.

The Dragon Realm is the place where the dragon race lives, isolated from the outside world.

He never expected to be born here.

Looking at the blocked entrance, Shiki drew his sword and swung it, causing a loud noise as the entrance was broken open.

Rorosa and Lilisa were overjoyed, ready to leave. Shiki followed closely behind, but...

"System reminder, this hidden quest scroll is limited for use only in this tomb chamber. It will become inactive if taken outside..."

"Huh? There's such a setting?" Shiki looked again and saw a very small line of text on the instructions...

Damn.

"Use!" A beam of light flashed.

Shiki's sword started to shake, and the tomb chamber was filled with whispering voices. A dark aura swept through the entire chamber as the skeletons of several dragon kin flew out of the cave.

In addition, a large number of white bones surged out from the ground in the chamber, approximately tens of millions of bones, all flying out of the cave.

"Wow! What's happening?" Rorosa suddenly felt fearless due to the contract, finding this situation only curious.

"Let's leave first." Shiki followed the flying bones out of the chamber, with the two sisters close behind.

Outside the cave, the bones danced in the air, constantly merging and forming into a gigantic creature.

Shiki stood at the entrance of the cave, the glaring sunlight shining in. His armor automatically equipped a helmet to block the rays.

"Is this really the game world?"

The sight outside made him question. The mountains, the water, the sky, this...

Anyway, it all felt very real. Sorry, I can't think of a better adjective right now, so I'll use a crude phrase instead.

The sky was blocked by the bones, alarming the dragon kin of the Dragon Realm. They flew towards this direction.

"Quick, report to the king!"

A giant red dragon in armor led the Red Dragon Legion and flew forward, wanting to know what had happened.

"Is this commotion too big?" Shiki had doubts as he looked at the expanding skeleton frames. This seems to be the territory of the dragon kin. Will they surround him for causing such a disturbance?

"Sister, Lilisa thinks this is cool."

"I think so too!"

The two sisters no longer felt fear, perhaps due to the soul contract.

The assembled bones formed a gigantic dragon-like creature, terrifying the dragon kin.

Representing death, the Dragon King of the Underworld, Visage, awakened at the cost of countless dragon bones.

"Ding! Hidden quest: Resurrection of the Abyssal Dragon King Visage (1/5) triggered!"

"First stage completed, rewarded with the form of Bone Dragon King, Visage!"

"The second stage of the Resurrection of the Abyssal Dragon King Visage has started!"

"Mission completion condition: Unknown! Reward: Unknown!"

Upon seeing this series of messages, Shiki was filled with mixed feelings...
