Life Drain System Chapter 13

The contract was created and formed once they released each others grasp.
Flash
A bright light appeared and kept getting brighter until it encompassed the entire room....
Then a piece of parchment looking identical to the one that they just formed and inscribed with runes appeared.
"What just happened?" They both exclaimed at once then looked at each other.
After a few moments of silence, the orc then spoke. "I found it kind of difficult to believe, however the fact that this actually happened..."
"What do you mean? What happened?" Yueliang asked curiously.
"Right, I forgot that you have not learned much of this world yet. So basically there is this legend, that when a prospective or even super powerful mage who embodies the perfect mage mentally, physically, and spiritually makes a contract or does certain things the mana will manifest itself into physical form not just when broken like normally. I never would have guessed honestly. Most people just figured that it was a myth including myself." The intelligent orc Rei replied.
---- A few moments later ----
The orc then continued a few moments later. "Well, now that we know this is real, you need to one do not tell anybody about this. Then two, try to avoid making contracts with someone unless you trust them. As for myself, now that you have made the contract with not just myself but my horde I can come and go as I please. Of course you being the summoner can force me here anytime you please. Anyways for now please give me a couple hours, I will come back shortly to assist you in anyway that you need. However for now I must inform my horde not to tell anyone what happened, as well as let them know the good news."
"Wait before then, one more question. You said for them not to tell anyone, how would they know?" Yueliang asked.
"Well, when a contract is made, party a and b will both feel and know what happened. However at the same time it will leave a mark. This mark will disappear after the contract has been completed, or broken, however in this case it would only be once broken, since we have agreed to be your subordinates for life and eternity." The orc replied, then bowed and teleported back to his homeland.
---- After the orc left ----
"There is just so much to learn about magic, I wonder if I will ever be able to learn it all." Yue said aloud pondering this question in his head.
"Master, if you really want to have all the magic knowledge, you can purchase it from the store. However just because you know everything about it does not mean you will be able to use it efficiently. Either way if you did end up wanting to purchase all magical knowledge it would take a very long time before you would even make up a fraction of the cost. Although with your skills you could earn it quicker. Anyways, even if you managed to purchase it, it would only be what has been researched to date. There is so much magic knowledge that has not been created or explored, and so much more." Yang quickly answered Yue's question.

'Well I guess I should at least review the contracts contents as to not break it and get myself killed.' He thought to himself.
[Yueliang Haizi's Contract for Subordinate Horde]
[The Intelligent Horde of the Sky of the World of Shui submits to the Mage/Summoner: Yueliang Haizi. Summoner Yueliang will rule over these orcs as their King. The orcs of the Sky will do anything for their 'King'. Their 'King' Summoner Yueliang will hence forth protect and provide for those of this Horde to the best of his abilities. This contract is to last so long as Summoner Yueliang shall live, however if either side harms the other unjustifiably, they shall be struck down and killed by thunder.
As both sides have now been contracted, the knowledge of the summoner shall pass onto the subordinates. The subordinates will be able to teleport to the summoner and their home world with only the cost of mana, no need for a spell. The experience gained by the orcs will be transferred to Yueliang as it is of no use to them, however in its place, as Yueliang grows, so too shall the orcs. This contract can be modified at a later date so long as both parties agree to the modification.]

"Hold up, the great rewards I can understand, however what are the chests?" Yueliang questioned Yang again.
"Loot chests are a chest given when Yueliang does something extraordinary or useful to himself and the system. These chests vary in quality by: Lead, Bronze, Iron, Silver, Gold, Legendary, and Finally Mythical. However do not think that Iron is just normal. Even lead would be the equivalent to someone winning three jackpots in a row. Also, luck has to do with everything in existence. As for why you did not get a reward for manifestation although it is a super rare and difficult feat, that would be because your body cannot handle the reward yet. Thus it shall be held back for a while until you are strong enough to withstand it." Yang said kind of down trodden because he felt that Yueliang was not seeing how insanely fortunate he is already just getting what he currently has.

"You know Yang, I do not think I have said it at all or even enough. Thank you, this life, everything that I currently have is because of being able to meet you. If not, I would probably still just be the valedictorian, handsome, and noble aristocrat. However now I get to live a life of adventure and maybe even immortality if I get to that point. Although what I feel is the best out of all of this is not the amazing luck I had in getting what I have currently but to be with you Yang." Yueliang said happily.
"Awe thank you Yueliang, I am glad you see that, however it was your own effort that helped you to get to where you are currently. Anyways just remember even when you grow to be super strong, there is always someone smarter, more intelligent, or even just better." Yang said happily.
"Thank you for the advise Yang." Yueliang said then went to bed as it is getting late.
---- 6 hours later ----
'Yawn, good morning. Status' Yueliang thought to himself.

[Notification: Due to mana body and dragon king bloodline, you now have some draconic abilities. However because you are still too weak, your stat upgrade and etc has been held back forcefully by the system. If you would like to receive the rest safely you have 1 year to grow enough. If you do not become stronger by that time do not hold the system responsible for no longer protecting you.]
"I am a bit confused how I am not strong enough yet, I mean I am way stronger than most humans on earth in almost all attributes. Right?" Yueliang asked the system Yang.
"Wrong, the people around you may seem to be weak and not as intelligent, however that is only because they do not train themselves past their limits like the others. Most of the people on earth who train, currently around your age that are not talented at all, are about 200 strength. Their are some who have gone on to become gods and what not. Each human is born with zero strength, growing up they inherently hit 5-20 on strength alone and that is the common person with no talent.
Now for those who cultivate, or use magic, or aura, or any number of other things. They are hitting 300 by the time they are your age at minimum, and that is in strength even for mages who do not use it at all. Now considering that you have not been able to train because of your fathers terrible decision that I am amazed has not already gotten you killed, you are doing pretty well. However with out the shop you would still be back around 30 which is good for a 4 year old who trains I guess.
Now to explain to you more, those orcs of the sky you just contracted have at least 300 strength and 250 intelligence, not to mention any other stats. Also those are only the ones around 17 and you are 21. Do you see the difference now. Also, these orcs are very low on the scale of creatures that exist, they are better than the normal orcs, however that is because they are about to become high orcs. Still Wyverns as one of the middle creatures have 8,000 strength by the time they hit 8 years old. I hope you now understand how truly weak you are, and to think you are about to battle in the spatial wars. There are only two reasons why humans have not been eradicated by this war so far. The first is because of the hidden cultivators and others, the second is well you will find out later." Yang Replied to his question.
Fwoosh
"Sorry it took a while longer than expected my king." Rei said as he knelt, and continued. "There was a massive celebration that we have a new king, and a lot to discuss. Everyone is excited to meet you whenever you would like."

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
