I Just want a Peaceful life

"Angus, get down!! [2nd Circle - Flame Bomb]" shouted Jayna.

*BOOM* [Flame Bomb] hit directly towards the approaching shadow and exploded. The explosion is shaking the whole building.

After a while, the shadow and smoke cleared revealed a strange bizarre creature. The creature has a black scale with a lot of spikes all over its body. It has four legs with a sharp claw on its end.

Despite this, the creature's body is not as big as Angus and Jayna thought. It only has the size of a domestic cat or dog. The creature's body keeps a sort of shadow or dark mist along with cold properties.

Now, on its body, there is an open wound that keeps bleeding with blue-colored blood. Looking at the appearance of the creature and its characteristics, "If I am not wrong this beast should be Mundus."

"M-Mundus!! You mean that legendary beast Mundus??" said Jayna.

"It should be. Though its size is too small from the book description. Maybe it is a newborn one?" said Angus.

Hearing a newborn beast and looking at the pitiful beast in front of him, "Angus, could we keep it?" said Jayna.

"Are you sure?? Mundus could grow into a terrifying beast that is comparable to a dragon." said Angus.

"But… It looks pitiful. I even feel sorry to hurt him." said Jayna.

"Hmm…" said Angus while flaring his mana nearby.

"How about now? Did you still feel pity?" said Angus.

"Ehh.. What.. Why did I suddenly…" as Jayna becomes confused and absentminded.

"What a terrifying beast. To think has the power to influence the mind." said Angus while keeping looking at the small Mundus.

Looking that his last effort failed, Mundus could only stare back at Angus.

"To influence the mind??!" said Jayna surprisedly.

"Yeah… Anyway, I believe you are a smart beast to know about your current condition. So, I have a proposal for you." said Angus smilingly at Mundus.

Hearing this, Mundus directly speaks to Angus's mind, 'What do you want?' said Mundus.

'Become my familiar' replied Angus telepathically.

'Absurd!! I am Mundus, the legendary creature that could match a dragon. How can I become a pet?!' replied Mundus

'Really, then I don't have a choice but to kill you.' said Angus.

'Like hell, you could kill me. I will be gone before you know it.' said Mundus while growling a little bit.

'Then, be my guest. I believe my poison is strong enough to render you to move properly.' said Angus.

'Hateful Human!! You are despicable!!' said Mundus.

'So, what is your choice? Die or become my familiar??' said Angus.

'Hmph.. Alright, I give up. I will become your familiar.' said Mundus.

'Ehh.. this is too easy. He must have planned something.' thought Angus.

Looking that Angus kept his silence, 'Why did you silent? Did you not know how to make a familiar contract?' said Mundus.

'Nope.. Let's just be done with this.' said Angus as he sliced his palm.

The familiar contract is another soul-bound type contract. It is mainly used to make a familiar beast. Angus knows the general way to make this Familiar Contract. However, he didn't know that this contract was also dangerous.

After slicing his palm, "I, Angus Victory, willing to offer a familiar contract." said Angus.

'Accepted.' said Mundus.

The moment Angus hears Mundus's reply a strong bright light comes from the Mundus. Like a time being stopped, Angus couldn't move his body but his consciousness was still there.

'Foolish, little human!! You should have killed me when you had a choice rather than making me your familiar.' as Mundus stood up from his spot.

Then, the creature jumps into Angus's hand. Suddenly, Angus feels pain all over his body and his hand is feeling like being scorched.

"ARRGG… What the!!" screamed Angus.

"Hahaha… Little human, now I will devour you." said Mundus.

At this moment, Angus inheritance chi Misty Ball flares up and releases a huge torrent of energy towards the surroundings. *Busst* The energy becomes chaotic inside Angus's body.

Using this chaotic unstoppable force, Angus directs it to suppress the Mundus inside his body. 

Being suppressed by unknown energy, "How come you have this much energy??! NOOO…" said Mundus as he got suppressed further.

After unknown time passed by, Mundus got suppressed completely and the chaotic energy in Angus's body was also exhausted. After that, the bright light died down and some information came to his mind.

As the bright light is gone, time begins to move again. Angus immediately slumps on the ground while heavy sweating. Looking at Angus slumping on the ground after the bright light, makes Jayna worried. As for the Mundus, it was gone from its spot.

"Angus, Are you alright?" asked Jayna worriedly.

At this moment, Angus is exhausted and a hologram panel appears in front of him.

"Familiar detected." [System]

"New Menu Combat Familiar is created." [System]

Angus brush and close the hologram panel. He decided to check the panel later as now he is still fatigued in mind and body. Fortunately, Angus has high vitality and could relieve his exhausted body.

Otherwise, he will fall unconscious and will create more trouble later. After reassuring Jayna that he is okay, Angus begins to sort off the information in his mind.

Apparently, Mundus is truly despicable. It baits Angus to do a familiar contract with him. If it is an unintelligent beast without wisdom, Angus could easily stabilize the contract after few agreements.

However, a legendary creature like Mundus is rare and seems to be protected by the world. Their familiar contract for them is quite special. 

The contractor will be forced to fight mentally with the creature. Then, The contract will be established depending on the fight result.

There are few results for the fight. The first result is completely subdued where the familiar is completely defeated. The familiar will be 100% obedient towards the contractor. It will die if the contractor dies.

The second is Subdued. This is where the familiar is defeated by the contractor. The familiar will obey but still could fight back if being forced. It will be released the moment the contractor dies.

The third is Equal. This is a condition where none of the familiar and the contractor win. The familiar will be obedient to a certain order. The contractor also needs to give something for each familiar service. The familiar also will be released the moment its contract dies.

The fourth result is defeat. This is the result where the monster wins against the contractor. The familiar will not be obedient at all towards the contractor. 

It will slowly corrode the contractor's life force every time, the familiar is summoned. The familiar also could break the contract anytime.

The last one is complete defeat. a result where the familiar completely defeats the contractor. the contractor will be devoured by the familiar.

'*sigh* Fortunately, the inherited chi reacted at the right time and I could completely subdue Mundus.' Thought Angus while looking at the black M shape tattoo at the back of his hand.

Looking at Angus still absent-minded, "Angus, are you truly okay? What is that tattoo?" asked Jayna worriedly.

"Ohh.. this is proof that I signed a contract with Mundus." said Angus.

Hearing this, "Y-You… What is the result of the contract??!" asked Jayna.

"Ehh.. How come you know about this?" asked Angus back.

"What is the result of the contract!!?" asked Jayna in a more worried tone.

"Don't worry, it's completely subdued." said Angus.

Hearing this, Jayna immediately relieved. "Stupid Angus, Why you suddenly make a familiar contract especially with a creature like Mundus?!!" said Jayna.

Before Angus could respond, "KYAAAA…." a scream was heard from the deeper area.

"That voice, it's Mia." said Angus.

"Angus, Can you move?" asked Jayna.

"Don't worry, Let's go to them." said Angus.

From the start of the fight with Mundus to contract it, only a few minutes passed by.

On the way towards Mia's voice, 'Hey, Mundus? Is there another Mundus in this area?' asked Angus telepathically.

'Mundus.. Mundus.. Stupid master, need to give me a name. Anyway, there is no other Mundus in this area.' replied Mundus inside Angus's mind.

'I will give you a name later. So, if it is not Mundus, is there another beast in here?' asked Angus.

'Of course not. Even if there is a beast, they will be found by other strong humans. It's probably that spirit.' said Mundus

'Spirit??' said Angus.

At this time, Angus and Jayna arrive at the big area and find their friend. In front of them, there is a white silhouette wearing a white dress and long hair.

"Get Out~ Get Out~" it softly whispers toward them.

Hearing and looking at this, "Kyaa… I-It's a GHOST!!" screamed Jayna and immediately hugged Angus.

Looking at this, Angus knows that this is truly a spirit. Angus didn't expect that in this world there is a spirit. Then, Angus look at the scared Jayna who is hugging him like a koala, and closed her eyes

"Jayna… It's okay.." said Angus

"No… No.. I want to go home." Said Jayna while hugging Angus tightly.

Then, the spirit is blurring and gone. At this moment, Angus could see his friend's condition. Looking at them, "Haa… This is going to be troublesome."
