"Which skill should I use to boost my prestige later?"

"The Embrace of the Sacred Archangel?"

"No, no, too superstitious."

"The Flame Storm of the Fire Series?"

"Still not good, the place is too small, everyone inside will feel chill..."

"What should I use? Emmmmmmmm"

Larry stood in the middle of the magic circle, biting his finger in a troubled manner. In addition to five elders and a girl from the Sheffield family, there were also a pile of oddly shaped transparent crystals piled up in specific places in the magic circle.

"Ah, right, buff skills!"

Looking at the people around him, Larry also wanted to try whether the amplification of buff was the same, and gave these people some benefits by the way.

"Sir, we are ready." An elder with a goatee in a magical robe returned to his position from the edge of the magic circle and said to Larry.

Larry looked at the crystal cores around the magic circle and felt a bit toothache. These magical cores of 10 or 20 level monsters could only cast a sixth-level curse spell at most... or a 5th-level junior fire magic spell...

"I still have to rely on myself..." Larry shook his head helplessly.

Silently thinking of the character panel, Larry opened the equipment column, picked a set of flashy clothes to wear, and then activated the "equipment display" that hides the equipment.

With Larry's operation, the pajamas originally on Larry disappeared and were replaced by a dedicated suit surrounded by black flowing light and exuding terrifying magical power.

A set of full-level mythologically forbidden items up to level 500.

"Glory of Griffin (Head)"

"Forbidden Gauntlets of the Devil (Gauntlets)"

"Protection of Time and Space (Armor)"

"Fenrir's Claw (Legs)"

"Devil's Wings (Back)"

"Eternal Crystal of Auma (Earrings)"

"Will of Nightmare (Ring)"

"Blade of Mysterious Annihilation (Main Hand)"

"Book of the Creator (Off-Hand)"

The moment the equipment appeared, the space around Larry distorted and crumbled due to the huge magical power and special characteristics of the equipment, and the surrounding space made a miserable chirping sound like shattered glass.

But just for a moment, Larry sensed it and turned off the passive effect of the equipment.

Even so, the aura emitted in that moment made the people behind Larry feel like they were stepping into the abyss.

They suddenly realized that the young man in front of them seemed to be telling the truth.

Larry slowly raised his head, looking at Charlotte in front of him, his palm facing her.

"Come in, Charlotte Sheffield, fulfill the oath."

Charlotte, who was called, trembled, bit her lip and put her palm on Larry's hand.

"Are you scared?" Larry saw her expression, made a joke immediately, and also held her hand, their fingers intertwined, which made Larry blush slightly.

"I respond to the call of the requester, descend into this world, and make a contract with you. When the oath is concluded, you and I are destined people. Charlotte Sheffield, are you my contractor?"

As Larry spoke, white light points suddenly surged around, which were light elves dancing. In just a moment, it turned into a continuous light element storm, and then a light pillar that went straight to the sky erupted from the ground, covering the entire manor.

Suddenly it began to rain lightly in the sky, accompanied by a clear and elegant singing voice, the plants that were rained on began to grow wildly, and creatures who heard the singing unconsciously closed their eyes.

"Order of 15 levels: Salvation"

"Recover 10% of max health per second, continuously removes all debuffs. Lasts 30 seconds"

A large-scale group healing spell of 150 levels, and also the first spell of the nature series, salvation.

All places within a radius of one thousand meters centered on the manor were blessed by the skill, and the six people who witnessed the source of all this were all shocked by the surging magic power and the skill-like miracle that they couldn't say a word.

"Charlotte." Larry looked helplessly at the girl in his arms, with their fingers tightly intertwined, and softly called out.

"This is … !" Charlotte woke up in surprise, looking at Larry.

"Charlotte, do you… want to enter into a contract with me?" Larry looked at Charlotte in front of him. The enchanting glow on Larry radiated, making Charlotte feel peculiar. Her eyes became misty. The feeling was more like a wedding vow rather than a contract.

Words like confession and wedding vows hit her soul, and she opened her attractive eyes wide.

"I … agree." It was supposed to be an ordinary contract. However, for some reason, even the usually cold Charlotte blushed deeply.

Seeing this, Larry was somewhat surprised, and then sent a team application.

Charlotte felt she and Larry were connected by an invisible thread where they could sense each other. It was a sensation Charlotte experienced for the first time and left her in a daze.

She hadn't felt this kind of connection with anyone else before, and the mutual sense of familiarity she felt made her somewhat lost and astonished.

"Indeed, I can use the team request on her, and it's a forced and passive acceptance."

This time, Larry's guess was proven correct. If he needed to, he could summon Charlotte to him or teleport to her no matter how far she was.

"Your name is… Os… Osrick?" Undoubtedly, what she knew was the name of his game character.

"…Yes."

They stared at each other in silence. Larry's eyes were ablaze. Looking at Charlotte, he slowly lowered his head.

Charlotte appeared dazzled and saw Larry's desire in his eyes. She wanted to reject modestly, and her body drew back slightly.

"The contract has to be made in this way."

Larry said a line that he himself didn't believe. He didn't know he could be so brazen-faced.

Seemingly finding an excuse from this sentence, the inexplicable connection let Charlotte herself slowly get closer.

They kissed, under the influence of a miraculous skill…

One month later.

"Os?!! Don't let me catch you!"

'Your Majesty! Please stop!'

"Your Majesty!"

Riding on a tall, snowy white wolf, Larry looked behind him. In high heels, Charlotte was chasing after him, followed by an old man and a group of maids.

Larry retracted his neck, spurred the giant white wolf beneath him.

"Gryphon, hurry up. Otherwise, we'll have to sleep on the ground tonight!"

The running wolf-like humanoid rolled its eyes. Ever since it met this guy, he was forced to carry him. In addition to being ridden all around, as Charlotte's pet, the handsome silvery wolf Gryphon was quite resentful.

Of course, Gryphon is not the type to let others bully it - until it was hanged up and plucked by Larry.

"Woo … !" Initially slow to reduce the speed and let the owner catch this guy for a good lesson, the person shamelessly took out - a roast chicken.

The silver wolf, which could only keep pace with the people behind it, seemed to shift up several gears and pressed down the gas pedal, leaving a distance behind him in the blink of an eye.

Larry nodded in satisfaction with Gryphon's performance — As a casual gamer, he could do without the god-tier equipment, but food must fill his inventory.

Larry was just a mid-tier casual gamer in the game. Usually, he could play as the main tank player. It wasn't because of his wealth. It was because he had a wealthy friend.

Usually, he will buy the clothes he likes during the events. He doesn't like to grind for the equipment that can be bought with money.

Compared to other players, he's much luckier - Because his best friend just happens to own a company that grinds for rare items in the game. Larry only invested around three to four thousand yuan, and his best friend would send him large amounts of the game currency — Tir, to his mailbox every week.

Not long ago, as his best friend didn't see hopes of earning money in this game, he gave all the game currency he grinded to Larry and changed to a game where there's a lot of money and a large player base — a semi-dead game that only profits off the old players, Offline Heroes (those who played know, haha).

Larry, who had amassed savings equivalent to three years of his studio’s revenue, swiftly morphed from a casual player to an elite level competitor. However, he soon lost interest in the intense battles within the gaming realms, resulting in a large accumulation of consumables and food. It's worth mentioning that the game features an eating action, which fascinated Larry into hoarding all sorts of items.

“Look at my comrades in arms fighting passionately up ahead; such a sight is satisfying. Why not enjoy some food and capture this moment?"

Ever since, Larry was often kicked out of the dungeons and left to solo them. He relished immersive games and often visualized the characters as himself—living, fighting, and battling within the game.

In conclusion, he has indeed succeeded now.

"Caught you!" His ear was tugged, slaying Larry's reminiscing and bringing him back to reality.

"How dare you… how dare you treat my Griffin like this!” Charlotte’s eyes were flaming, and while tugging Larry’s ear, she looked at the exhausted Griffin in distress.

Its once heroic stature and stunning silver fur now laid on the ground, the color of the coat faded. It gazed at its master with resentment as if complaining, "Why did you bring this calamity home?”

"Hey…Charlotte, don’t be like that. I was just training Griffin to be stronger," he defended his wicked entertainment as the Griffin huffed heavily, exhausted by its so-called training.

"Shut up, and you, Griffin, you fool, why didn't you stop? Not only are you not getting any supper tonight, but you’re also forbidden from returning to the beast house! Both of you can dwell on your wrongdoings while laying on the hall floor." Charlotte, now aloof, hauled Larry away by dragging his ear.

She still needed his help with her homework that afternoon!

Looking at the man ready to be butchered, Charlotte was annoyed. She couldn't believe that he was the one who stole her first kiss.

The one who signed a pact with her a month ago, appearing godlike, had now turned into a playful boy?!

"Don't do this, Charlotte, I can’t fall asleep without you," Larry smirked and held onto Charlotte's small hand that was grabbing his ear.

"If that’s the case, then don’t mess around with Griffin all the time! School starts for me in three days! Having a gloomy pet does not reflect well on the owner!" Larry's words riled Charlotte up. This guy has been sleeping with her since that day under the guise of "Covenant's intimacy enhancement." Even her grandfather believed him!

"Okay, let me go first," Larry said while lightly patting Charlotte's hand.

"Hmm," Charlotte let go of his hand and crossed her arms while staring at Larry.

Larry advanced and embraced the annoyed girl, he fondly caressed her black stocking. "These legs... I could enjoy them forever…"

Larry's actions caused Charlotte to blush, she didn't resist much. Larry wasn't impotent; for the past month, the two had been sleeping together—it's hard for teenagers to control their urges. Larry, with his thick skin, conquered Charlotte's desperate resistance with his sweet nothings and irresistible moves.

Initially, they were not that close.

For a week following the pact ritual, Larry holed himself up. Charlotte noticed his worry, longing, and fear, but she took the initiative to communicate, standing by her pact maker's belief. When Larry seemed to let go of his thoughts, he promptly requested Rickon for them to live together.

To Rickon, Larry's power was unprecedented, almost godlike. So, he didn't obstruct but facilitated this request, hoping to tighten Larry’s ties to the Sheffield family.

Rickon could tell, although Larry possessed great power, he essentially still was a teenager.

In fact, Charlotte is also a person who lacks a sense of security. The burden of her family falls on Charlotte, and the original idea is to let Charlotte get married. The summoning array is Rikken's last attempt. If the summoning array fails and no one dares to get married, it will lead to the demise of the Sheffield family.

Larry doesn't think as much as Rikken, he's just a young man in love.

"Larry, let's go to the training room." Charlotte blushed, which is a complete turnaround compared to a month ago, and Larry also found out that Charlotte is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Smiling, Larry carried Charlotte in a princess hold and walked towards the training room, while the silver wolf watched as they left, panting.

"Os."

"Hmm?"

"Is this real?"

"What do you mean?"

"All of this, Os, you and me."

"Yes, it's real."

"Will you always be with me?"

"I will."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Really, really?"

"Really, really."

"Really, really, really?"

"Really, really, really."

"Mmm."

The girl buried her head in the boy's chest.

Larry patiently answered the girl's questions and held her even tighter in his arms.
