My Mage System

Chapter 7 - The Blood Pact



When he had finished making his list, he realized that he had also finished eating, he got up and went to give the pencil back to the receptionist and then he immediately returned to his room.

It was time to take a closer look at this mysterious book which was undoubtedly related to magic.

Even in his home world the pentagram symbol was used to represent the magic.

He focused on Kevin's memory and discovered the methods he had tried to attempt to open this book.

Kevin really wasn't very resourceful, nor very smart, and he saw that he had even tried to burn the book out of desperation.

What surprised him though, was that this book had absolutely no visible damage marks. He looked at the seal and saw that it was not a lock that could be broken, so there had to be some other way to open it.

It was then that he thought back to the conversation he had had with Alan about Axel's sword. He had told him that Axel had made a blood pact with his sword in order for it to recognize him as its new master, and so he could use its powers.

He chose to try this method, it was worth a try anyway. So, he pulled out one dagger and cut one of his fingers to run a few drops of blood on the book.

Kevin eyes widened, it seemed to work, with each drop of blood that fell on the book, the pentagram became more and more golden and when the fifth drop of blood fell on it, the seal disappeared and the book swung open.

Kevin took it in his hands a little surprised because this book was totally blank, there was absolutely nothing written inside.

When he was about to put it down disappointed after this discovery, he saw a golden glow that quickly transformed into a beam and it split in two. One of the beams hit him in the middle of his forehead and the other one hit him on his left chest very close to his heart.

The golden beam that was aimed at his chest was burning his skin but he had already experienced much more excruciating pains than that, so he just clenched his teeth as he waited for the pain to subside.

As for the beam on his forehead, he felt nothing wrong with this one.

After five minutes, the two beams disappeared and the book ignited on its own, with purple flames burning it to dust.

Kevin had stood up hastily to walk away from these threatening purple flames and he was relieved to see that they disappeared along with the book.

Regardless of whether the book was missing or not, he could feel that the link between them had been successfully created, he was just wondering how he could activate this link.

He walked over to the bathroom mirror and removed his top so he could examine the burn he felt on his chest.

But he froze when he saw his face, he hadn't gotten used to that new face yet, kevin was the opposite of who he had been.

His old body had an ordinary face and went easily unnoticed, he was also of average height which made his life easier to be able to disappear quickly without ever being spotted.

But Kevin was the opposite of that, although his face had still childish traces, he could see that he was going to grow up to be a gorgeous young man, for now he could be called cute, but soon he would become handsome.

He had green eyes that looked like emeralds and his facial features were all perfectly proportioned. His skin was white and smooth and his lips was red which gave a striking and seductive contrast.

He sighed helplessly, a face like that would surely get him more troubles than advantages, not to mention that he intended to turn Kevin's body into a real war machine, which would make him even more attractive.

He finally stopped staring at his face as there was no mark on his forehead and finally focused his attention on his chest.

A pentagram, that looked like a tatoo traced in purple ink, had appeared just above where his heart was. He touched it out of curiosity and a holographic screen materialized before his eyes.

After he recovered from this unexpected turn of event, he smirked, this screen looked more or less like the ones that were used in his home world to play virtual reality games, it suited him perfectly, after all it had been his favorite pastime when he had had free time in his past life.

His stats were right in front of his eyes and just seeing them flaunt like that, even if he suspected it a little, it almost made him want to cry.

That was all for his poor Stats. After checking that holographic screen he found more menus, Skills, Quests, Inventory and Store.

He decided to check the Skills one, he wondered if the affinity he had with the elements will be there too.

He tried first to touch it with his finger but his hand passed through the holographic screen, so if it was not a tactil screen then it had to be connected with his mind.

He thought about opening the Skills menu and the screen instantly changed to the one representing his Skills, he was so amazed by what he saw that it made him completely speechless.
