The scene before my eyes was stunning.

The upper body of the young girl, petite and delicate, was wrapped in a burlap sack, resembling a tightly bound zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), with her legs exposed underneath.

Her legs were as white as beautiful jade, not long or slender, but rather slightly plump with a hint of fleshiness. They were soft and tender, giving a very supple and milky pudding-like feeling, making one unable to resist the urge to pinch them.

Just these legs alone made Lynlo salivate with desire.

Not to mention, the area above these legs, where the enticing realm of adolescence lies. However, it couldn't be seen clearly as it was enveloped by the burlap sack.

Lynlo untied the ropes, but the burlap sack still tightly wrapped around the girl's body.

"The seal magic has been detected and cannot be unlocked due to the host's level," the voice of the spirit ring sounded just in time.

"Do you have a way to remove the seal?" Lynlo asked.

"The seal magic of an unknown rank is estimated to be of a very high level, beyond the ability to remove. However--" The spirit ring paused, unexpectedly creating suspense with its emotionless Siri-like voice.

"But what?" Lynlo inquired.

"But this spirit ring can modify certain lines of the magic array to transform it into a similar magic, such as a contract spell."

"A contract spell?"

"In doing so, she will become the host's contract holder and the host will have complete control over her. The host can do whatever he wants with her."

The most provocative part of that statement was the implication, yet it was still delivered in a flat mechanical voice.

"I can't help but feel that bringing this person of unknown origin might cause some trouble..." With an unknown origin and such stunning and ethereal appearance, she didn't seem like an ordinary person.

The sound of a broken door came from next door, causing Lynlo's heart to tremble as well.

"A contract spell it is then!"

"Lack...sufficient energy, requires...grudge...supplementation," the spirit ring's speech became intermittent, deliberately creating a sense of weakness.

Weak my foot, this terrible spirit ring is up to no good!

Didn't I just consume so much grudge at the plaza earlier? How could it now not be enough?

Grudge... grudge...

Apart from the girl in the burlap sack in front of me, are there other people here who can provide grudge?

Lynlo clenched his fists, going through a one-second long internal struggle. After being whipped by morality and conscience, Lynlo made a decision, to go for it!

It's not that I, Lynlo, have deteriorated in character, but rather that I'm forced to do so!

What can I do? I'm also left with no other options.

If it weren't for this spirit ring, even if I starved to death and died outside, I wouldn't take advantage of you--

So soft~

"Mmm~"

The girl in the burlap sack let out a whimper.

Although she was in a state of unconsciousness, Lynlo could already see thin strands of grudge emanating from the burlap sack, collecting into his ring.

I need to find a way to feed this spirit ring.

"Grudge collected from...the mysterious girl," the voice of the spirit ring sounded kindly. "Quality rating is... S."

S-ranked grudge?

Isn't this exactly what the spirit ring has been searching for, a delicious delicacy?

Michelle's grudge was only A-grade, and this S-grade is even higher!

Who exactly is this mysterious girl?

In the midst of a crowd on the busiest plaza, when nowhere else could be found, I stumbled upon S-grade grudge here!

Is this the choice of fate?

"Due to the S-grade rating of grudge from this mysterious girl, which is extremely high, the spirit ring can provide an early task reward to the host. The mana formula is currently being analyzed..."

Even the spirit ring is coveting this S-grade grudge.

A black magic light was emitted from the ring, appearing just like the grudge Lynlo had collected previously in color and texture.

"Analysis complete. Modifying the [[Sealing Spell]] magic array into the [[Contract Spell]] magic array, generating..."

"Generation complete. The host only needs to open the burlap sack for the contract spell to take effect automatically."Just by opening the sack, the task reward is pretty convenient, even the incantation for the spell is saved.

Lynlo opened the sack, and in that instant, he saw a dense and shiny array of magical characters inside the sack.

These magical characters seemed to come alive the moment he opened them, twisting and connecting together like a serpent made of magical characters.

One end connected to Lynlo's left arm, turning it into a tattooed arm like that of a savage warrior, with the magical characters spreading from his arm all the way to his chest... the location of his heart.

The other end climbed up the girl's body, forming a large patch of black tattoos resembling silver veins on her fair skin, and then it stopped spreading.

After that, these magical characters gradually dimmed and disappeared, blending into the depths of their skin.

The girl remained asleep, her petite face delicate and her lips pale and elegant.

Her silver hair was tied into twin ponytails, flowing like liquid mercury.

She possessed a beauty that was like that of a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.

It was a kind of beauty that seemed to not exist in this world.

The girl was wearing a gorgeous black gothic dress, which although short, made it a bit difficult to see what was underneath.

Don't be fooled by her petite figure, she had quite the figure, naturally revealing an alluring silhouette from between the folds of her dress.

Was this beautiful girl... the monster that those adventurers were talking about?

Lynlo had played this game before crossing over, and he was certain that he had never seen such a good-looking monster; otherwise, he would have remembered.

At this moment, the mysterious girl in her sleeping dream frowned and opened her eyes.

They were a pair of golden pupils, beautiful yet peculiar, with an extraordinary color.

"I awaken from my slumber, and you..."

Indeed, a very imposing opening line.

"Hmph?! How did you become my master?!" she said, revealing a cute fang on one side.
