I was watching a wolf named Werther rolling on the floor and hitting his head on the wall. A notification window appeared.

[The Wolf King made a pact with Werther.]

[‘Wolf’s Pact’ is added to the skill list.]

‘Wolf’s Pact?’

Are you talking about the oath you made earlier?

It was a typical slave contract. Is there really a need to register it in the skill window? With that question in mind, I opened the status window.

-Wolf’s Pact

=================================

Maybe it was because it wasn’t a skill, but I didn’t have the skill level. When I clicked on ‘Wolf’s Pledge’, a detailed explanation was printed.

================================

The pact made by Werther, the Wolf King, and Han Yu-seong.

The contents of the covenant are as follows.

-Werther cannot harm Han Yu-seong and the person he designates.

-Werther can ask Han Yu-seong for one favor. However, the request must not be one that intentionally harms the safety of Han Yu-sung and those around him.

-If Werther’s request is reasonable (the system’s judgment), Han Yu-seong must grant the request.

-Werther must help Han Yu-seong to the extent requested.

-Werther can reject Han Yu-seong’s request.

-If Han Yu-seong complies with a request even though there was insufficient help, from then on, Han Yu-seong’s request becomes compulsory.

-This pact will remain in effect until the help received by Han Yu-seong and Werther’s request are offset. However, if both parties wish, the contract can be extended with new requests.

Help received by Yu-Seong Han: 0

Werther’s request: “Not decided yet.”

“Wolf’s Pact Additional Effect”

When using the skill, Yoosung can borrow some of Werther’s senses. Depending on the time the skill is used, the ‘help received by Han Yu-seong’ increases.

=================================

I narrowed my eyes.

‘…I’m sure it wasn’t about this.’

The oath that Werther requested was one-sided: to help only once, unconditionally. However, the explanation written in ‘Wolf’s Pact’ was different.

‘I cannot harm myself and those around me, and I can only ask for favors equal to the amount that helped me…’

If I had granted Werther’s request first, my request would have coercive power. There was also an additional effect.

‘Wolf sense…’

No matter how good my senses are, I am ultimately only human. The senses of humans and animals are so different that comparison is meaningless. Borrowing at least part of it was a huge benefit.

-Ugh…!

Werther, who had been rolling around on the floor, slowly began to get up. There is one thing to check. I looked down at him and said.

“What are you looking at, you bastard.”

-What, what?

Werther’s eyes widened. I guess I didn’t understand what I just heard. However, it soon became ferocious and revealed its sharp fangs.

-How dare you… deceive me? I don’t even know the topic!!

The wide open maw of the wolf attacked me. Teeth the size of my forearms tap against my skin. My flesh was not torn to shreds.

-Krrr…

Werther’s chin trembled. Even in this strange situation, he is tightening his jaw as if he is planning to kill me somehow.

‘This is what it feels like.’

Even if Werther decides to kill me, his actions are limited. I was amazed and scared at the same time. It seems like the power of the system is stronger than I thought.

‘But why is he so desperate?’

I know he’s a guy with a lot of pride. Even if you scratched it just a little bit, it immediately tried to bite you. But you know you can’t do it because of your oath, so doing that is just foolish.

‘…don’t you know?’

It may seem like that when you look at his bloodshot eyes because he exerted so much strength.

‘Come to think of it, you were rolling around by yourself earlier.’

Does that have something to do with it? Maybe the system…

I was thinking while frowning.

“Ah…? Ah… ah… ahhh!!! Yoosung, Mr. Yoosung!! No, no, no!!!!!!!!!”

Cerise screamed. I was a little surprised because the voice was so loud. I need to calm her down first. I tapped Werther’s fang.

“Hey, if you can’t bite, put this away.”

-Krrr…!!

“Your breath stinks, so clean it up.”

-Krrr..!!!

Tendons sprouted on Werther’s neck. Cerise’s surprised voice was heard.

“Yu, Mr. Yoosung..? Are you alive?!”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

Even though I tapped him, Werther did not clear his mouth. As I was about to leave, I remembered something I almost forgot. In ‘Wolf’s Pact’, I adjusted the targets that Werther could not harm.

-Ceris 100 Karma

-Kara 100 Karma

My eyebrows furrowed.

‘You bastard.’

Isn’t the system supposed to help me? Why do you keep trying to rip off karma with useless things? I was dumbfounded, but I clicked on Cerise’s name.

‘just in case.’

I closed the status window and got out of Werther’s jaw. It kept sticking so I scraped the tongue a little with a dagger. So they took it out.

“Yuseong, you’re not hurt, right? It’s okay, right?”

Cerise fumbled with my body. I remembered what happened earlier and tried to push it away. But he stopped when he saw her expression. His face was filled with deep concern.

“It’s okay. There is no injury.”

“Thank goodness… I thought something big had happened to Yoosung…”

Cerise had tears in her eyes. I was a little embarrassed. I quickly pulled her into my arms. Cerise buried her face in my arms.

“I’m fine. So let’s just stop. Huh?”

“But, I was so surprised…!”

Cerys sobbed and tried to stop her tears. She hugged my waist stronger. I stroked Cerise’s head.

-What on earth have you done?

I turned my head when I heard Werther’s voice. The guy glared at me like he was going to kill me. I was dumbfounded.

“What am I?”

-Don’t act like a fool! Just that…

Werther’s words were interrupted. To be precise, I was trying to say something, but it seemed like I couldn’t do it. The guy squeaks, clears his throat, and opens his mouth again. But again, all that came out was air.

-what…? What is this!!

Werther got irritated and hit the floor. bang! Dust rose up. I fanned my hand and pushed away the dust.

“…Why is it like that?”

Cerise asked with a scared look. And then he was held tightly in my arms. I tried to pull it off, but she held on by strengthening her arms. I had no choice but to give up trying to remove it.

‘It seems like it’s getting worse…’

My worries increased. I was about to sigh when Werther raised his head and glared at me. His eyes seemed a little angry, perhaps because he hit the floor so hard.

-Yeah, I don’t think you did it. Because there’s no way you have that kind of power.

After saying those words, Werther thought deeply about something. Looking at that, I was half convinced.

‘As expected, the system did something.’

It was not simply about using force on an oath. He made Werther roll around on the floor and changed the content of his oath.

‘I guess the system didn’t like the idea of me taking an unfair oath.’

That wasn’t bad news.

‘That guy doesn’t seem to know the details of the oath.’

I could tell because I had a status window, but that guy doesn’t have anything like that.

My head spun tightly. A good idea occurred to me. Before I put it into practice, I spoke to Ceris, who was clinging to my arms.

“Seris.”

“Yes?”

“…Do you want to put some clothes on first?”

“Yes..? Ah…!”

Seris rushed over and got dressed. I watched him for a moment and then approached Werther.

“Hey.”

-what.

It was a blunt voice. I said it to him regardless.

“So what is your order?”

-what?

Werther frowned, then grinned as if something occurred to him.

-Okay, now that I think about it, the oath is valid.

“That’s right. So tell me what you want to order. That way I won’t be ready.”

Werther looked at me for a moment and put his nose against my body. I sniffed and smelled it. I frowned and took a step back.

“What are we going to do?”

-It’s too early for you now. When the time is right, I will come find you. Don’t even think about running away. Because I remembered your smell.

He pretended to be solemn again and tried to leave the cave. Its tail wagged. I grabbed its tail. Werther was startled and turned around.

-Uh, where are you catching me?

“What if I just go?”

-what?

“Please take us to base camp.”

-Why should I do that? I’m grateful just for saving my life… Argh! Don’t grab the tail too hard!! Do you know what that means?!

“What does it mean? Does it have some kind of sexual meaning?”

-okay!

“What the fuck!”

I was scared and threw my tail away.

“Fuck, then are you flirting with me? While rustling?”

-What are you talking about?! I’m not interested in chaff like you either!

I narrowed my eyebrows. I felt something off in what he said.

“…Are you sure you are a female?”

-You wouldn’t know it if you saw it?

“No, how do I know that… Ah, now that I think about it, there was no dick?”

-You crazy bastard!!

Werther was furious and swung his front paw. Soft. The sole cushion, unique to canines, tapped my cheek. It was soft.

-Ahhhh!! why! Why can’t you hit this bastard!!!

Werther almost had a seizure. He takes out his anger by hitting the floor. Then his gaze turned to Seris.

-Okay, there’s no need to pester this guy, right?

Werther looked at me and grinned. I ran to Seris and opened her mouth.

“Aaagh!”

Cerise screamed. The scream soon turned into a strange voice.

“…?”

Cerys came out of the trembling maw. He looks at me and points to the wolf. The expression on his face asks, “Why are you like this?”

“That wolf can’t attack us. There must be some kind of curse.”

When she made up an answer appropriately, Cerise’s complexion brightened. But then he suddenly pouted his lips and kicked the wolf’s butt.

Werther, who was devastated, looked startled and glared at Seris.

-What are you doing!

“Even if you glare at me like that, I’m not scared at all!

Seris approached Werther’s buttocks. Werther turned his body and hid his buttocks. Ceris made a dissatisfied face and hit Werther on the nose instead of the buttocks.

-What?!

Werther stumbled. Seris quickly ran to the guy’s butt and kicked it again. Werther, who had been kicked in the butt again, had a venomous look in his eyes.

-Hey, this human…!

He looked at Seris and growled. I looked at it and thought.

‘Isn’t that how you run away from the cave?’

No matter how fiercely Werther glared at him, there was nothing he could do.

Except running away.

I quickly ran over and grabbed Werther’s tail.

-Hey?!

Werther’s hair stood up. I told Cerise.

“Seris, this is this guy’s weakness! Hold on tight!”

“Yes!”

-Oh, no! don’t do it!

Werther ran and tried to escape. But if I run, I might get hurt. I had no choice but to walk, and Cerise got closer and closer. Werther looked at me and shouted.

-Ah Okay! I’ll take you there, so stop that bitch! It’s scary to even imagine being caught by the tail by a female!

“I promise on your name.”

-walk! I bet! So quickly…

I tried to stop Seris due to Werther’s urgent attitude.

“Seris, even if you don’t grab the tail…”

“Eight!”

late.

Seris stomped hard on the tip of the tail.

-?!?!?

For a moment, Werther’s body became stiff. My legs started shaking and I sat down helplessly. The guy’s eyes lost their place and trembled wildly.

It was a pain that I felt somehow familiar. I gently patted his butt. I was taken aback because I didn’t know that Seris would be in this much pain. She followed me and patted her butt.

-Squeak… whine…

Werther’s eyes filled with tears.

Oh my…
