Alden stared at the system window, dumbfounded.
For a moment though, his mind refused to comprehend what had just happened.
But then, like a well-oiled machine rebooting, his thoughts realigned—probably thanks to Voidheart.
That skill was good at suppressing mental chaos.
Emotionally, though? He was still spiralling.
He scanned the status window again. This time a bit calmly.
But before he could understand something.
He heard a loud shout.
"W–wha–what did you do?"
Vanyaa's panicked voice shattered the silence. "W-What's this window saying? What do you mean by 'servant'"?
Alden didn't answer immediately.
Because the word servant echoed in his head like a curse.
This wasn't a contract.
