◎︎ The target Ronica is selected as the owner.

◎︎ The subject is confirming his/her intention.

​

It’s funny.

​

I’m going to make the guy who can hold onto my ankles my master.

​

So why does this absurd decision make my heart feel at ease?

​

Simple.

I wanted to feel family.

​

you also.

me too.

​

That’s what I hoped for.

​

“This?… ︎.”

Ronica stared ahead with a blank face.

I was so surprised that the strength holding me loosened slightly.

‘You asked me to be your family.’

This is my answer.

Ronica stared into space with her mouth slightly open. The guy who had been crying and yelling at me because of his discord with his father just a little while ago stopped as if it had never happened before.

It will be confusing.

A blue window that you have never seen before appears before your eyes.

“Axis… ︎ Haha. Have you won Hwansujong’s heart? When you accept the contract, you will be registered as a temporary awakened person… ︎… ︎… ︎ Eh… ︎.”

Ronica read the text with a look on her face as if she had no idea what she was looking at.

And after it hardened for about 5 seconds.

Pale.

He looked down at me with his pupils shaking.

“The black guy is going crazy!!??”

A girl’s voice echoing through the forest.

And soon after, he spoke in a voice mixed with joy and desperation.

“Of course, there is no way to refuse!!”

Tiring!

◎︎ We have our first owner. Let’s bring out each other’s abilities through deep communication.

◎︎ A public value of 10,000p is given as a reward.

◎︎ Acquire skill ‘Possession’.

​

I felt fortunate.

*

“Hehe. Black guy. We are family now. Did you agree too? I only have you now Let’s stay together forever!!”

Ronika stopped crying completely.

Thanks to the contract, the tragedy was forgotten for a moment.

But it’s a temporary solution.

It doesn’t change the fact that my father is dead.

This is a difficult situation for a young girl to overcome alone.

The tragedy that occurred today is likely to remain a great trauma for Ronica.

Moreover, he asked me, the person who killed his father, to become his family and accepted him. Maybe you can take the guilt on yourself.

“Keying… ︎.”

“It’s okay. Black guy. Heng. A father like that is not my family. I can’t even remember your face anymore.”

However, Ronica was more resolute than expected.

No, it’s crooked?

“Let’s run away together. Go to a big city, work hard and make a living.”

“Sniff?”

“Let’s leave now!! I don’t want to be in this town.”

Perhaps it was because of shock, but Ronica was reckless. I immediately stood up, as if I believed that I would feel better once I left here.

What kind of action is this?

There is clearly still sadness in the corners of the eyes.

“Kuang?”

Is it okay?

“Are you worried about me? Hehehe. I don’t mind!! Look at this!”

Ronica smiled brightly, raising her index fingers to both ends of her lips. It was a forced smile, as if he believed that smiling would make him truly happy.

It’s not a reassuring smile at all, though.

Still, I understand this.

‘You’ve already overcome it.’

If it were me, would I have been able to accept it so bravely when I was young? In this respect, Ronika was much better than me.

Because I was busy killing everyone.

I need to learn this too.

“Father? joy. No matter what anyone says, you are the only black person in my family. You don’t need it all!”

Ronika repeated it for me. It may seem a little crooked, but it’s better than being sad.

Thanks to this, I was able to reflect on my determination.

From now on, I will not hesitate either.

I will take responsibility and take care of you.

Knock knock.

After getting out of the embrace, I hit the ground with my front paws a couple of times.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Knock knock.

I hit the ground twice again. Then Ronika, feeling puzzled, sat down and lowered her head to see what was there.

Kuuk.

I didn’t miss the opportunity and placed my hand on the guy’s head.

First of all, let’s start with the award.

Kuuk. Kuuk.

In “… ︎ Squeeze?… … .”

​

Despite my intention, my hand pressed and released Ronica’s head repeatedly, following my instinct. Feeling something good, I performed the black magic I had originally intended to do.

‘Soul fragment transfer.’

ᛟᚢᛝᚺᚢᚾ ᛃᚢᚱᚴᚨᚷ ᛃᛖᚾᛁ.

Sigh-

Something whitish penetrated Ronika’s head through her hand.

​

Let me lend you a little bit of my sense when you suck at this.

I will help you develop your talent even if it is by force.

“Kuhung!?… ︎… ︎… ︎.”

“Oh! Black guy. Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Are you sick? Come to your senses!!”

Don’t worry about risk.

As an adult, I will bear it.

dump.

“Cologne~ Cologne… ︎… ︎… ︎.”

“Huh?… ︎ Did you fall asleep? Suddenly?”

So, close your eyes for a moment.

Little boy, just look ahead.

“Negro?… ︎… ︎.”

​

Tiring!

​

◎︎ The strings of the contract become thicker.

◎︎ The redemption contract is changed to a soul contract.

◎︎ The efficiency of contracts increases.

◎︎ It becomes easier to obtain contract skills.

◎︎ Ronica acquires the ‘Summon’ skill.

gulp.

Ronika swallowed her saliva once and sneaked into the village. There are a few things to pack before leaving for the city.

The village looked the same as usual. There didn’t seem to be any particular commotion.

However, Ronica could not show herself proudly.

Is it because I decided to leave the village?

Or because of the feud you had with your father?

If not that too.

“Negro really loves his father… ︎… ︎.”

Ronica looked down at the black man sleeping in her arms.

Although it is a cute and small beast, it is not only strong, but also extremely smart, and has the mysterious ability to find what it wants.

​

The guy who glared at my father whenever he got the chance and hit him on the back of the head with his small body.

A strange guy who made me feel comfortable because he seemed to listen seriously when I told him about my concerns.

So he was able to reveal his true feelings.

Ronika was somewhat certain.

The possibility that my father was killed by a black man.

There is a possibility that he may have taken revenge on himself instead.

Ronica arrived home anxiously and placed one hand on the doorknob.

Squeak.

“Oh, Dad?”

There was no answer.

I opened the door a little wider.

Wow~

Are you there? Ronica’s mouth, which she was about to say, became stiff.

“Ah… ︎… ︎… ︎.”

Scattered blood stains.

Ronica’s face turned pale, as if she didn’t want to imagine it.

But that was only for a moment. I muttered quietly, “I’m not scared, I was already prepared,” and opened my eyes.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t afraid of the black man who committed murder, but it was still precious to me to the point where I held him tightly in my arms and hid him.

“The nigger was trying to protect me. I am different from my father. I’m not a piece of trash that hates people after receiving help.”

As some time passed, the pale face gradually calmed down.

Whoop.

Take a deep breath.

After I relaxed, I went into the house and closed the door.

The body was not visible. There was only a small trace of blood, so the visual impact was less.

‘It’s already happened. ‘You have to move.’

Ronica, reflecting on her resolve, quickly came up with a plan.

Take items that can make money.

Burn the house down and run away.

After that, I run away with the black guy and start a life in the city.

“Negro… ︎ Don’t worry. Because I will feed you until you are full.”

“Cologne. Korororong~”

To make sure the Negro was as comfortable as possible, I held him politely in my arms and placed him on the bed.

a drawer.

closet.

Slightly broken board gap.

Ronica rummaged around the room, took out the slush fund and a few items she had secretly saved and put them away.

A cloth bag containing 1 silver coin and 40 copper coins.

A pendant worn around the neck that was given to me as a keepsake from my mother.

My father’s spacious backpack and extra clothes.

Fortunately, the body moved faster and more quickly than usual.

Strangely, I could see how my body should move differently than before. The very concept of moving seemed to have become lighter.

‘Is it because of the black people?’

A new feeling of less delay between actions and stronger determination. To put it simply, I felt like I had become a seasoned warrior.

Even though Ronica felt doubtful, she ate the remaining food to go with her drink and grabbed a lot of bread.

Finally, I politely held the black cat in my arms and left the house.

And after leaving it aside for a while.

Looking at the house that was like a big shackle.

​

Sigh.

I bowed.

“Ugly father. Please disappear into hell.”

Good luck!

After bowing, I lit a match.

“I will now forget my father forever. I hope you do the same.”

Tick!

A lit match fell in front of the house.

Because alcohol had been poured in advance, the fire quickly spread to the house. This is how a lonely house on the outskirts of the village ended its life.

​

“Thank you for not raising me all this time. Please atone bye.”

Grumbling. Crack.

A fire growing out of control.

Ronica’s eyes gradually calmed as she looked at the flames. Even though I felt like I had committed a crime, I felt an inexplicable sense of relief and turned around.

Letting go of your regrets in the flames.

​

“There were times when it was better to take a breath.”

I’m not wrong.

​

He mumbled, picked up the black cat again, and walked away without looking back.

Before the villagers came.

The child who grew up ‘without parents’ left the village.

​

​

​

​

Daughter soup.

I realized that hydrocephalus also hiccups.

“Oh… ︎ Black guy. You woke up?”

As soon as I woke up, Ronica looked down at me holding a bloody kitchen knife.

why?… ︎.

“Kieng?… ︎.”

Are you trying to eat me?

Are you trying to betray me?

I had that delusion for a moment, but of course Ronica wasn’t that type of person.

“Today’s menu is rabbit meat. Strangely, my body moved well so I caught it quickly. Hang in there. I’ll cook it so you can eat it.”

The grass that was spread on the floor for me.

A small bonfire made using matches.

And Ronica grooming a rabbit.

In other words, they were hunting rabbits and cooking them for me.

The young girl must have been very reluctant to cut the game and cook it herself, but her solemn face showed her determination to do it.

But was the atmosphere this bright?

My head tilts in puzzlement.

“Huha~ I did it. Now, should I eat this and grow up?”

At that time, Ronica made a skewer out of a sharp tree branch, grilled it, and held it out with a sigh.

My pride was scratched because I felt like I was being treated like a child by a child, but I accepted it calmly, thinking it was okay.

“It seems a little bigger than when I first saw it. lol. Hurry up and grow bigger.”

Ronica looked at me with a burden as she ate and belatedly started grilling her portion, while I looked around while tearing into the meat.

A path that people have walked on like a hiking trail.

A gentle forest with lush trees and a flowing river.

It was a sight everyone had seen for the first time.

‘Did you leave the village while you were asleep? Are you trying to go to another city?’

Since his father died, he probably didn’t want to be tied down to an uncomfortable village. He probably wanted a fresh start.

​

After roughly assessing the situation, I looked at the system messages that came pouring in after the contract was concluded.

◎︎ Acquire skill ‘Possession’.

◎︎ Ronica can’t handle you. You cannot enjoy your full rights as an owner.

◎︎ Ronica is a temporary awakener. You will be given priority as circumstances arise.

◎︎ You can check Ronica’s information.

As expected, there were some problems with the contract.

When it comes to contracts, you have to be at a certain level, but Ronica was a non-awakened person and her level was far behind.

​

A phantom tree that once reached the 98th floor.

A girl who goes to the extreme of ordinary.

​

Because I signed a contract with a weak owner, I cannot take advantage of the return, and Ronica cannot make good use of her contract with me.

​

Moreover, even the system is displaying content to me that should be displayed to Ronica… .

To put it simply, Ronica is not my master, but I am Ronika’s master. This will be a big setback for me.

​

So what if?

​

‘Stop pulling me up by the collar.’

I decided to make Ronika strong.

I know very well the way to become stronger.

Because I also started from an underdog.

Let’s take a look first.

​

‘Is it all about being a little faster?’

Ronica was at the level of my expectations.

​

Speed ​​enough to outrun orcs.

The stamina to wander around the forest all day.

Although he was on par with an adult man in these two things, he was weak in everything else, needless to say.

​

Instead, perhaps because of the environment in which he lived, his subordinate abilities were quite excellent… Unfortunately, this stat has nothing to do with physical strength.

​

‘I didn’t have much talent with the sword.’

​

But there is a possibility.

I wake up regularly every morning, run around for half a day, and use up my mental energy to gather what I need.

That diligence and sincerity allowed me to reach out. A simple routine has laid some foundation.

‘You also reached out on your own from a similar abyss as mine. ‘No one could hold me, but I think I can hold you.’

​

Did you say you wanted to become stronger?

I can make you strong.

​

blast furnace.

​

From now on, you are my disciple.
