Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1373: Nine Contracts (1)



Skullius pulled a skin of Exora Mead and put it to his lips. He immediately began to drink, taking gulp after gulp without pause. His Amras well started to get restored, bit by bit.

Exora Mead was a strange resource. It had no grades, no standards of quality that increased the amount of Amras it restored per certain amount - nothing of the sort.

As Skullius had seen before, it restored ten units of Amras every five seconds, and that was only if the user kept drinking it without pause. Skullius had gotten three skins of Exora Amras from his LIMITED CONTRACT with JOISEN ANTERRAS. He was going to have to use them all before replenishing a significant chunk of his total Amras pool. His estimates told him that the three skins on their own weren't going to do the trick though. He needed more.

His newly added Immortal Realm Physique, Expanded Shadow Fiend's Leather, gave him a 25% increase to total Exora Amras well reserves, and a 15% to Exora Amras regeneration speed, which was an excellent boon that was sure to quicken the process of energy regeneration.

But all in all, it was going to be a long wait, which was why Skullius decided to multi-task. Looking through the contract offers was bound to be as tedious as it was possibly rewarding - a powerful way to pass the time.

>REVISED ENTREATY:

Treacherous, insolent fool. You dare ignore the goodwill of nine of us rushing and gushing with gifts, some of which you might never see in your entire Constern - if you manage to see it all? I have retracted some of the gifts I had wished to part with for your astounding Exotic Parlous Nature. For you, they must be adequate. I don't see anyone else offering more than I

am.

+++Seal of Primeval Deity, ABBON-RIGGIE+++

>ENTREATY:

Woah. I never expected an Exotic Parlous Nature like yours to be born in this reality. Outstanding! You anomalies are really something. I feel a little humbled. I've been alive for many, many years and I have studied the great void for just as long, yet I have never come close to gaining some insight from Void's powers at all.

I have a proposition for you. I admit, I'm not offering as much as some of my friends, but I believe the little I have given is more than enough to warrant your consideration. Oh, and just between you and me, don't get intimidated by the older fools, and don't be afraid to shut down any contracts you feel are unfair.

+++Seal of Primeval Deity, GREY VONSE+++

>REVISED ENTREATY:

Typical. You're the proud owner of a very powerful Exotic Parlous Nature and you're already so indulgent on a battle with a little Undead Deity that you refuse to save us face. Do you think these contracts will last forever? Well, I suppose the ability you have awakened is just that great, and all of us are willing to bend over backwards to a degree, but nevertheless, you might find us unsavoury if we want to be. No one dares treat with old monsters so casually.

>REVISED ENTREATY:

I offer you a final warning here, you little worm. Again, I tell you, there is nothing to lose here.

I have exceeded your worth with my gifts. Do not be tempted to treat me any lesser because I have returned seeking another one of your little powers. Do not ignore us!

+++Seal of Primeval Deity, RHEVNA PLUME DOH'WE+++

>REVISED ENTREATY:

Taking your sweet time, aren't you? What is taking so long? How can you be powerful enough to create something almost all of us rushed to turn our heads for, and still struggle against opponents like this? You are a queer individual. But then again, it's queer individuals like you who stir reality, and old giants like me, for the first time, are forced to spin like everything

else.

+++Seal of Primeval Deity, JOISEN ANTERRAS+++

>REVISED ENTREATY:

I had the wrong impression of you, little anomaly. Did you think that just because I decided to

be amicable, I was a close chum of yours? I thought someone like you, highly intelligent and filled to the brim with ingenuity, would understand how a business transaction works. Time is a very valuable resource, little anomaly, especially in the wider reality. The management of Consterns and Consternals is quintessential to everything. EVERYTHING. I decided to teach you a bit of a lesson in this. I hope you take it to heart. You have no right of bargain over our

time. We demand respect and attention, and we wish to see it.

++Terms of Trade++

[LIMITED CONTRACT OFFER]

+++Seal of Primeval Deity, COLMUUN+++

>ENTREATY:

I see. You belong to that little world I once passed by on my way to the Voiwalla. Fascinating. I

just may pay you a visit. I wonder what inspires such boldness in you and the powers you create. You have no doubt made an enemy of Void, given the nature of this power. On the other

hand, no matter whom amongst us you choose, I fear you are starting a war. Indeed, there are tools and powers out there that allow us to reach the Broader Existences of others, but thisbone... it does a lot more than most of the rare specimens I have seen.

I feel you are climbing up into powers you are not fit to wield just yet. If I decide so upon seeing you, I might just pluck you from reality altogether. Perhaps I'll even do it as a favour to some. Ah, perhaps we could make it a game. If you choose a great ally among us, you might

just survive. But I am second only to AKHASHA, you know? Well and perhaps that one, but nevertheless, whichever Primeval Deity you draw - if it is not me - you best hope they can handle me.

++Terms of Trade++

In exchange for perpetual usages of the Pseudo-Void rank, Exotic Parlous Nature, Maximum

Jaqquezjaqqz, I grant you the following:

+Immortal Realm Physique of the Second Stratum, Straw Lagger Enhanced Body;

+Immortal Realm Physique of the Third Stratum, Mulling Trotter Arteries;

+Immortal Realm Physique of the Third Stratum, Greater Limbs Network;

+Realm rank Wicked Treasure, Embezzling Cloak;

+Realm rank Prime Treasure, Crow of the Beguiler;

+(310) skins of Exora Mead;

+(4) COLMUUN's Tears

[Author's Note]

This is kind of cheating, but nine contracts in one chapter just seems like overkill. As such I am

going to lay down the next ones in the next, and make this a two-parter. Hopefully, you readingsome souls won't feel too aggrieved. I genuinely hope not.
