Chapter 8 - Ch 8 : Prologue End And Contract

With the help of the wind, Ray and the Wolf-pup have flown away from the battlefield, leaving only the boss-wolf and few members of the wolves camp to fend off the monkeys and the boss-ape.

' You must not take your eyes away from the Ray. This is their last battle, their battle to ensure the survival of their next generation, and you are entrusted to live and told the heroic tale of this battle to the wolf-pup. So open your eyes and witness their last moment.'

Even though their meeting was only for a short time, Ray's heart felt pained for every moment the boss-wolf was hurt. And eventually, the Boss-Wolf fell down after successfully repelled the intruders from Ray and the Wolf-pup direction.

A fleeting moment that felt like an eternity. That was the only thing that popped up in Ray's mind when he saw the Boss-Wolf tried her hardest to protect her child. A love so pure that could only be felt from a parent to their children.

' If my parents were still here, would I also be able to experience this feeling too?'

Soon, Ray and the Wolf-pup landed pretty far away from the battlefield.

Ray was hurt all over his body, and dried blood has dirtied his clothes everywhere. But everything was over now.

He only needs to wait for the Wolf-pup to wake up, make a contract with him, and the mission will be solved.

It was an entirely different question whether the wolf-pup would be willing to make a contract with him, but Ray has put that into the back of his mind. He had determined to make this wolf-pup his boss monster, and he will do everything to ensure that it will happen.

****

A few hours later, the wolf-pup finally wake up with nobody else on his side except Ray.

" So you finally wake up, huh? Here, take this."

What Ray gave to the wolf-pup was one of the loot from the monkey danger-beast, their meat. Ray had made a small fire from some dried woods, and he had roasted it before giving it to the Wolf-pup.

" I know you can understand me, and you still don't trust me yet. But please sit and listen to my story for a moment."

It was at the moment where Ray felt the Boss-wolf transfer something to him that he knew he would be able to talk to the wolf-pup. The boss-wolf had prepared everything for him, the languages to converse with the wolf-pup, and an aura that coated Ray so the wolf-pup will sit and listen to him for a while.

Ray then started to tell what he witnessed to the wolf-pup. From the motherly love of the Boss-wolf to the epic battle to ensure their survival. Everything came out from Ray's mouth to make sure that the sacrifice of the Boss-Wolf will not be a waste, and the wolf-pup would know that even though his parents were not here with him, they will always love him.

Upon hearing the story, sorrow filled the wolf-pup eyes. He scratched his body so many times, trying to prove that all of this was just a dream, but eventually, he knew that everything was true.

Ray was about to leave the wolf-pup alone for some moment. He understood that this might be hard for the wolf-pup, and he might need some time alone.

However, just when Ray was about to leave silently, the wolf-pup came to him and scratched his hand with his claw.

" Ouch, why are you scratching me?"

[ DING!!! The mission has been completed.]

[ Find your boss monster ]

[ As a Wannabe Dungeon-master, you need to find your boss-monster to protect the dungeon core.]

[ Recruit the boss monster before the time limits end.]

[ Time limit: 10 hours, 58 minutes.]

[ Plane: Purple Sky forest]

[ Death Count: 13/10000]

[ Rewards will be issued accordingly to the host's progress in this plane.]

.

[ The condition has been completed, proceed to calculate the rewards.]

Eh... why is this? Ray, who was a little bit confused, turned his head in the direction of the wolf-pup and seeing the determination on the wolf pup's eyes, everything becomes clear to Ray.

It seems that the wolf-pup had decided that Ray was trustworthy enough, and he believed that by making a contract with Ray, he would be able to grow stronger.

Since that was the case, Ray had no objection. It was his intention to make a contract with the wolf-pup; thus this worked well to his advantage. But the only thing that was still a bit confusing to him..

' System, was it this easy to make a contract? If it was this easy, then wouldn't there be some people who exploit the simplicity of this contract process?'

Ray asked the system with a bit of worry in his tone. If this were the case, then wouldn't it be dangerous to him if some unknown spirit beast suddenly gets his blood and wanted to make a contract with him.

[ DING!!! Don't worry host. The process of the contract wouldn't be done with just only taking some blood. Indeed taking the blood was the first important procedure for the process, but there were still many steps to complete. For this process, the system had seen the desire between the two-party, therefore the system decided to assist the process and made it easier.]

Hearing the explanation from the system, ray sighed some relief. At least he had some power in the making of a contract.

He walked closer to the wolf-pup and stuck out his hand to the wolf-pup,

" Then, happy to work together, partner."

" Aoo."

The wolf-pup placed his paw on Ray's hand, and thus a bond between a wolf-pup and a human was made.

[ DING!! Rewards calculation has been done. Rewards will be issued after the host has been transported back into the default homeworld. Proceed to teleport? Y/N]

"Yes"

In an instant, a portal appeared in front of Ray and the wolf-pup.

The two looked at each other before jumped into the portal, signifying the start of their journey together to be the strongest dungeon master.
