Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur was so excited about this offer, but he knew life wasn't such a sweet pie. "Are there big clans in this area?" he asked, trying to understand more the truth about the situation of this area.

"Sure, three great clans and five middle sized ones, plus a dozen of small sized clans," Olor's instant response gave Arthur a scare! This wasn't a small area at all, for him it looked like the centre of this world!

"Do you want me to throw myself into such a mess?"

"I know it might seem quite hard, but the situation there is much more complicated than you think. The great clans don't care about this area, as they left the management for the middle sized ones, which are doing a great job at suppressing everyone. They turned this huge area into their own farm, amassing a huge number of slaves there, making them live to produce much more slaves for their armies."

Arthur was hesitant, but amidst this he had the advice from his system, on time as usual.

"Ding! If I were you, I would have accepted this offer right away."

"Don't this be rash and reckless?"

"Ding! This area is as he described, full of slaves and a small number of warriors, who are slaves as well. Very few real clan members exist, plus the presence of many small clans in the middle of all this with all their knowledge and resources.

Simply put it's a treasure trove, and you need it."

Arthur thought about the words of his system, knowing that it never gave him the right suggestion. "Alright, but I have one modification to your proposal," Arthur finally expressed his thoughts out loud to Olor, making his face be tensed up.

"What modifications?" Olor tried his best to maintain his tone neutral, and he failed miserably at that.

"I can see what you aim for, weakening those big shots while preserving your own powers. That's quite an ambition, right?"

The face of Olor changed slightly before nodding, without saying a word.

"Good, then I would like to help you more in achieving your goal, slightly broadening it further."

The words of Arthur startled Olor, whose face showed how much shocked he was, right with his tone. "What do you mean? May you elaborate further?" he asked, trying to make sure he didn't misunderstand Arthur's words.

"It's simple, this world I consider as my own. However, it's really a very complicated world, with many foreign powers playing on the stage and much more pulling the strings from the shadows.

So, I want you to act as my own personal agent. I will make sure all the clans here suffer a lot in their next war with me, to the degree that you will be one of the only few here with much power preserved to lead the dark world."

"Do you want me to be… their general leader?" Olor was much shocked beyond description, as he never thought Arthur would ask him to do that, or even aspire to be the supreme leader here.

"Sure, I want you, as my man, to lead them here and work with me to rule this world," Arthur nodded, confirming Olor's words.

"B- But what is it for me? at the end you won't let the dark world continue here, right?" after some moments of thoughts, and after perfectly handling his own shock, he asked about this disturbing fact.

"You will have your dream of being the leader of a great clan come true. In addition to that, you and I know perfectly well that the dark side isn't limited to this world, right?"

The face of Olor showed his understanding of this strange, risky, yet bold plan. "Aren't you afraid of me betraying you?" he asked, "after all right now I'm in a position that makes me vulnerable, but in the future and after having so much power, this miserable situation will change."

Arthur smiled as he had a slave contract in mind to process. Again, his system spoke, giving him its usual timely valuable advice.

"Ding! I know of a way to establish a soul based contract with the will of the world here as a witness. Like that he won't be able to betray you."

The smile on Arthur's face grew larger as he replied:

"I'm not that pure hearted naive person to believe a dark leader like you will stick to his own words promised in such advisory conditions. You will make two contracts with me; a slave contract and a soul based contract."

The face of Olor changed again, as he never thought Arthur to have such means to strangle him. He sighed, as his position was already hit the bottom here. "I have selected this path, and I shall see it to the end," he said to himself, trying to make the taste of losing his freedom much sweeter than the bitterness it had right now in his mouth.

"Alright, let's do it."

Arthur then started to work for ten minutes, preparing the runes used for his own slave contract, and for the soul contract. The slave contract was similar to the contracts he did before; with a circle drawn around Olor by using the blood of a high end monster, while he made Olor make runes like the ones he just created.

Two circles were formed, one at each side, then Arthur muttered: "Activate!"

The next moment the two were shielded by two bubbles for a few minutes before vanishing, and now Arthur had a small tattoo on his left shoulder with a hideous monster face, while Olor had another one in his chest.

"Now the second contract, draw the circle this time using your own blood," Arthur said as he followed the words of his system to the letter.

He also drew a circle around him with his own blood, before putting the runes he made with the words of the world's will over them. when finished, Arthur then waited for Olor to finish his preparations, then he said:

"Memorize these words and repeat them with much belief in your heart."
