Shane wanted his world to become a paradise for his tamed beasts, and it would be hidden inside him, which led him to name his world 'Hidden Paradise'.

Seeing this name, his aunt could only smile at Shane's choice, thinking that he was a free spirit, a stark contrast to his father who was an old fogey.

However, this attitude was what Kia liked in Shane and it frustrated her to see how John treated his only son, imprisoning him and withholding all the ways to learn what freedom or friends really were.

Only when she told him all kinds of stories, the young Shane could visualize how it might be to act however he wanted and be free from all kinds of responsibilities that suffocated him.

Shane's attitude hadn't changed much but Kia noticed that he was much happier than before because he smiled more.

She had only met him several hours ago, and Shane had already smiled more than over the last 16 years since she knew him.

This caused her to be sad on one side and overjoyed on the other side and Kia made a promise to herself to never allow John to imprison Shane ever again, even if she had to fight against him.

It was not a secret anymore that Shane had to be trained to become the next ruler over mankind, and seeing how Shane behaved after being freed from his father, only showed her that they had also made mistakes.

In the end, they needed to nurture strong youths to create mankinds' next leader with a good personality, who cared about all lives and not just those who were strong.

This might have been the beginning of their wrong mindset which they inculcated in Shane without caring about his own thoughts, feelings, or desires.

Thinking about this, Kia could hardly suppress her tears as they ran down her cheeks.

Hiding behind Shane, she was glad that he couldn't see her, and the guilt within her intensified, solely by sensing the happiness that radiated from him.

'What have we done?' Memories of the last 16 years flooded her mind, where she could see Shane being forced to study several hours every day, practice all kinds of martial art techniques and learn how to handle all weapons.

There was no joy, freetime, or even the tiniest bit of happiness around him and the servants acted carefully around him, not daring to do anything in fear of receiving harsh treatment from his father or someone around him.

Remembering the fear in their eyes as they looked to the young Shane who couldn't comprehend what was going on, Kia could only hold her trembling hand before her mouth when she finally remembered Shane's eyes that seemed extremely dull at some times when he sustained injuries in his combat classes.

Only when he heard stories about freedom and adventures, his eyes seemed to lit up.

Her red and teary eyes were now filled with determination as she took one step back before opening her own system.

Looking for her group chat with the others, she simply wrote.

I don't care whether it is humans or a different race, whoever dares to do anything to Shane against his will has to fight me to death!>

The group chat only consisted of John Stella and their friends, and everyone who reads this message was dumbfounded to notice that Kia had sent this message and not someone particular in their group who had a knack for writing such messages, showing a certain temper.

Meanwhile, Shane initiated the soul-binding process with the world seed which he held against his naked chest.

Kia didn't even notice that he had taken off his clothes and couldn't be bothered about it right now because she received several messages from her friends, asking what was going on.

However, she didn't reply to them directly because she had to regain control over her emotions before anything else.

Taking a deep breath, she could only hear Shane crying out in pain as the faint mana in their surroundings was forcefully absorbed to enter his body through the world seed whose glimmering intensified.

He was enveloped with the glimmering light released by the world seed, and Kia could only hear that Shane's whole body began to crackle as he was lifted from the chair he sat before.

Levitating in the air, the pain spreading through his whole body increased manifold as he sensed the world seed trying to enter his body, which tried to revolt by all means.

Unfortunately, his body couldn't take the world seed's impact that was reinforced and strengthened through the mana it absorbed from the whole Shirai academy.

There was not a single mana particle left inside the whole academy which confused both students and teachers as they sensed that their absorbed mana was forcefully drawn out of them.

Closing their pores and sealing their body to prevent the mysterious suction force from absorbing more of their mana, everyone's expression worsened and only eased up by a small margin, when they noticed that the principal's room was completely enveloped by a blue shimmering light, brightening up the whole academy and surrounding city.

Meanwhile, Shane didn't know what was going on because this was neither something his aunt had told him nor had he received a warning from the system that it might endanger his life, which seemed to be the case, considering that the pain he felt right now was worse than anything he ever had to endure in his whole two lives.

Even dying from being shot in his first life had felt less painful and he could only try to endure everything when he noticed that the world seed approached his mana pool.

This shocked Shane because he was unsure if that was something that should happen or not and only when he remembered that his soul should bind to the world seed, he finally found a ray of hope to put himself out of his misery.

Even if he was unsure how he should bind his soul to the world seed in front of him, his mana pool shouldn't be considered his soul, which meant that it was not normal for the world seed to act as it did now.

Trying to remain calm, his passive Skill [Hunter's Mind] helped him out, when he heard four notifications in succession.

[Unique circumstances detected! Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity available!]

[[Artemis' Blessing] activated, Host's desire to be his own ruler and retain his freedom has been heard and proposal will be given]

[Artemis' Proposal- Become stronger by fully accepting the world seed! [Y/N]]

[World seed requests to enter the host's mana pool before starting the binding process!

[Allow/Reject] (Rejecting the request won't harm host in any way)]

'F*ck this shit!!! Why are such messages coming now?! Artemis, couldn't you have come to my aid earlier with this shitty "desire has been heard"? When did I ever want to become restrained by my father or someone else??'

Cursing inwardly, Shane didn't even bother to continue reading everything thoroughly as he accepted everything when the pain increased further.

Forcing its way through Shane's body, the world seed entered his mana pool which caused his whole body to burn.

Several minutes passed before the bright blue light inside the principal office began to dim and the surrounding students and teachers sighed in relief, while Kia rushed towards Shane who was barely able to breathe.

He was barely able to stay conscious, only to hear a notification, before everything went dark.

[Artemis' proposal has been accepted and world seed bound to host's soul inside his mana pool.

Special Title granted [One with the World(Unique)]
