They knew they were bound by a higher power, the power of contracts. And once I was dead, this bond would be severed.

In their eyes, this was just a mere dream where they’d wake up soon and return to their zones and continue their pathetic lives once more.

However little they knew… I already cleared one path and was going to clear the rest.

Standing beneath that gate made me feel great awe.

I felt like a tiny ant standing in front of a gigantic mountain! But that pathetic little play would affect anyone else, but me.

“Oh! I can’t believe I ended up on the path where I killed its beast!” I couldn’t help but laugh when I found the hall inside void of anything but a dead corpse of a colossal beast.

“Wait… That body wasn’t here last time…” it suddenly hit me. Once I sealed that beast inside my shadow world, I was taken out and entered the world.

I even thought this hall was crushed, collapsed before. But this seemed to be a mere illusion or the effect of some sort of magic or something.

In front of me lay the colossal body of that behemoth. It was cold dead, as my battle with it was more than four months ago.

“Don’t tell me I can’t get its bones… No, it works! Yes!” I was terrified that after all this time, the bones would be lost.

But I worried for nothing! My system worked, my class worked, and I started to gain tons of bones, all were in high grade!

You gained two hundred and twenty black bones

You gained one hundred red bones

You gained thirty diamond bones

Damn! This… This was what a treasure trove would look like!

I kept getting such scary messages often, and also messages of the lower grade bones as well.

You gained ten thousand dark gold grade bones

You gained one hundred thousand gold grade bones

You gained three hundred and fifty thousand silver grade bones

Damn! Damn! This… This was the best harvest I gained so far! The lower the bone grade became, the much higher the number I got was.

I kept jumping over this colossal body, dissecting it using my glaive. Aside from the bones, I found the flesh of this beast quite interesting.

“It should be a high form of meat or something… Should store it, store all of it!” in front of my eyes, all the flesh and organs of this beast were shimmering with intense light like they were gems!

If they weren’t for eating, then they’d be treasures. I didn’t have time to think or experiment over these things, so storing them up for later time was the best approach.

But that turned the simple task of getting bones into a longer work of collecting everything.

I took roughly three days to wrap things here, and even had to use the help of my Bulltors and shield warriors. When I saw Bulltors, I thought about scattering them over their kin, teaching them about the new brand world awaiting for them.

But I refrained from doing so. I felt the core place would be filled with much deadlier foes than the beasts here.

So I had to keep all my strength to myself, to not regret it later on.

“Phew! I never thought the first path would be the one I cleared before, and I’d get such a great harvest as well!” I muttered to myself while moving back to the opening.

When I returned to the light, I couldn’t help but sigh. My entire gears and body was stained with thick dark green and red liquids from all the cutting I did inside.

Each day I’d replenish my strength sacrifice for one hour to be able to use the dragon glaive once more. Using other weapons slowed me down.

But when I got out, all I heard was a loud awe inspiring shocking gasp coming from those races standing around, waiting for news of my death.

Instead, they were shocked and not disappointed to see me coming out alone, in one piece!

Least they knew… If they knew that I didn’t even break a sweat inside and didn’t even have a single clash, spent all this time collecting my loot, would they become mad or petrified out of shock?

“Listen up… That terrifying beast inside is now dead! I killed it! And now the path to the outside world is open…”

I held my horn and started speaking directly to all of them, “The world you are going to is mine. It’s quite peaceful, but don’t try to walk around as you might pump into my people and misunderstanding can happen. Also… The system you are aware of is now something else. So don’t get confused if new stuff appeared in front of your eyes. Just go there and wait for me, don’t move around too much, and stick to the place around the pocket world. And… No matter how long I take here, don’t doubt that I’ll come out.”

Well… to be honest, I expected something else here. I thought they would shout, yell out of joy.

But what I saw was totally opposite to this… They all wept! Many even fell on the ground in such a weak and powerless way, and the rest started hugging and crying together.

What did I say to make them feel this sad? I was lost for a moment there. But after considering how long, terribly long, they lived inside such a nightmare, I could slightly understand their emotions.

This… this might be the long lost dream started up from the times of their ancestors. However, after the passage of all these years, after living under such tyranny and injustice for so long, getting the chance to be freed came to make all the suppressed emotions of despair and powerlessness to surface like this.

I even doubted that most of what they were feeling didn’t come from themselves, but from their bloodlines. It was like all the ancestors who lived here and left part of their souls in their bloodlines were weeping from such news.
