Chapter 271 – Constellation Contracts Carefully (2)
The constellation sees only individual abilities and talents. It is common knowledge that everyone knows that the contract target’s past, wishes, and hopes are not taken into consideration. By the way… What is this? Do you know my personal history?
[Do you want to know the organization that kidnapped your ex-brother and then disposed of it after experiments?]
A constellation called ‘Nameless Avenger’ mentioned my past, in which I had to be content with half-baked revenge and terrible memories that I couldn’t forget until I died. Investigate the youngest son of the Hankwang Group, even telling me information I didn’t know.
This…Should I believe it?
No, in the first place… How do you know this?
What the Constellations want is to raise their honor. That’s why they were told that they only cared about their contractors and not much about Earth. However, the ‘nameless avenger’ seemed to know a lot about the earth and about me.
This… Is it possible?
No, before that… Is this information really true?
After thinking about it for a long time, I eventually raised my hand to the message of ‘Nameless Avenger’. If you talk, you’ll get a feel for it somehow. First, I had to figure out if the information he gave me was real.
[You have selected the message of ‘Nameless Avenger’.]
[Negotiations with the ‘Nameless Avenger’ begin.]
***
“Hey, this is… “
When my eyes went dark and brightened again, a ruined place with collapsed buildings appeared. It is my hometown that I cannot forget even if I want to forget it. Cheonan… To think that now we will see the past of the rebuilt city again…
[Nice to meet. It is called ‘The Nameless Avenger’.]
As I was brooding over the events of ‘that day,’ the ‘Nameless Avenger’ sent me a message.
“I’m Cynthia, a freshman at ‘Yeonhwa’.”
[That’s a good name. Shall we start negotiating?]
“Before that, I have something to ask you.”
[However much.]
“You really… Is it a constellation? How on earth did you recreate the Cheonan of ‘that day’? How did you know about my brother?”
[Not one thing? But good. As long as you don’t get restricted, I’ll answer everything. First of all, is the constellation correct? Yes, the constellation is correct. Even seeing the message in front of you, you’re not mistaking me for another being, are you?]
“That… Certainly it is. It was a door.”
[How did you recreate this place next? Simple. That… Um, can’t this be said? No, yes It was a place in my memory, so I was able to recreate it. I reproduced it because it is a place that has meaning to me and to you. Was this enough of an answer? And as for your brother, I… Sheesh, is this also subject to restrictions? I’m sorry. The answer to the last question will be replaced with silence. But don’t worry. It is an undeniable fact that your revenge is related to the youngest son of the Hankwang Group.]
“…… Answer, thank you.”
I heard the answer, but it made my head more complicated thanks to it. A place that has meaning for the ‘nameless avenger’? A constellation that gives meaning to a place other than the contractor. Is there such a case? I wanted to know more about ‘The Nameless Avenger’, but…
His last words His mattered more than that now.
“By the way, is it really related to the Hankwang Group?”
[A constellation cannot lie. You must have known that much?]
“… How do you know that information?”
[On the contrary, why do you think I don’t know that information? I am a constellation.]
“Ah, I see… ” “
It was a stupid question. There must be a contractor investigating the Hankwang Group. If not, I didn’t even know there was a contractor working for the Hankwang Group. Whatever happened, good situation for me. Now that you know who you want to get revenge on, all that’s left is to avenge Jiho from the scumbags.
“…… But why are you telling me that?”
[To sign a contract with you.]
“I could just listen to this information and sign a contract with another Constellation.”
[Another constellation? A Constellation that has no interest in your revenge? All they want is to make you the embodiment of the sword. If your vengeance is thwarted in the process, they will betray your wishes without hesitation. Is it still good?]
“You are…Is it different?”
[All I want is revenge. There is only revenge.]
“The revenge you want and the revenge I want will be different.”
[No. Essentially the same That’s why I chose you. You can avenge me, and you can avenge yourself. You have the ability and talent to do so.]
Indeed, is that why he is a nameless ‘Avenger’? A constellation cannot lie. So that statement must be true. A Constellation that wants revenge… I like it for some reason. But you can’t make a Constellation contract only with good feelings.
All I need is the power for revenge.
Can a constellation I’ve never heard of before help me?
“Then… What can you give me?”
With that question in mind, let’s start negotiating with the ‘nameless avenger’
-Doo-woong, Doo-woong, Doo-woong
[Twilight Flame]
[Artifact, increases the owner’s mana recovery speed by 300%.]
[Sword Soul Necklace]
[Artifact, increases mastery by 200% when practicing swordsmanship after equipping it.]
[Permanent Hearthstone]
[Artifact, you can return to a designated place once a day.]
He gave me three artifacts from the start.
[I will use everything I have to help avenge you. This is just the beginning. If you need anything, I will never hesitate to support you.]
“What do you want from me?”
[That you do not give up your revenge.]
“I beg your pardon?”
[Will you sign a contract with me?]
That… It’s too easy. I had no intention of giving up my revenge even if I didn’t help. But in return, you’re going to give me everything? A constellation cannot lie. So, this is definitely true…
“Yes. I want to make a contract.”
That’s why I happily signed a Constellation Contract with the ‘Nameless Avenger’.

[Mission: Netori the heroine.]
[Tip: Use the Rebuttal skill to change the constellation name. Otherwise, you may not be able to contract with the heroines.]
A very large one room. You call this minimalism? There are dozens of monitors hanging on one wall of a room with minimal furniture. No, should I say screen, not monitor? As I was admiring the sci-fi look, ‘Heroine Netori’ gave me a tip.
Do you want to use a counterargument?
Questioning that statement, I opened the status window, and to my surprise, my constellation was set to ‘Amusement and Pleasure Addict’. I’m not really addicted, though.
“Write it, I’ll have to look at this.”
An addict of entertainment and pleasure, isn’t it a perfect constellation for heroines to be wary of? Feeling the need to change the constellation name, I took out the 10 million point ‘Heroine Instruction Manual’ and started reading it in order to find an appropriate constellation name.
[Heroine Instruction Manual: Contains the past, present, future, and strategy points of each heroine.]
“Um… What a pitiful character.”
The story of Cynthia, the main heroine that I grasped in that way, was really pitiful. I lost my parents to the demons and even my little brother was kidnapped by the villains. Because of that, she is a character who lives with revenge in her heart her, but I couldn’t help sympathizing with her because it was pitiful.
Now, is the prologue that he enters the academy called ‘Yeonhwa’ and signs a contract with the Constellation there? Then of course you can’t miss that opportunity. Deciding to sign a contract with her, I changed her constellation name to ‘Nameless Avenger’using her Counter-Return skill with her.
“Hmm?”
By the way… Will I ever get that chance? According to the manual, they sign a contract with the Constellation in the academy auditorium, but the monitors are all turned off and there is no contact…
– Belt ring
[You have been invited to the ‘Yeonhwa’ community.]
[Notice: An exchange ceremony with prospective contractors will be held at ‘Yeonhwa’ soon.]
[Notice: Great talents are waiting, so please attend.]
Oh, here it is.
You can see it this way.
All the screens turned on with a sudden notification, and the place that appeared to be Yeonhwa’s auditorium began to be reflected. Then, a chat window was created on the largest screen in the middle where the constellations could talk with each other, and many constellations appeared and started chatting wildly among themselves.
It seemed like a system that looked a little out of place for a constellation, but well, this is what the constellation looks like in this world view. While learning how to operate the screen, I set out to find the main heroine, Cynthia. And after a while, I found a cool beauty girl who looked just like the main heroine.
Black bobbed hair, a cold impression as if she would swing a sword at any moment, but she was still so pretty that it was hard to take her eyes off her. That’s Cynthia.
Eventually, I fixed all the screens to Cynthia, and as soon as I heard that the exchange ceremony had begun, I sent her a message. You’re a character who lives with revenge, so you’ll never refuse my offer, right?
‘I will help you avenge yourself. In return, never give up your revenge.’
If you talk roughly like this, you will definitely sign a contract with me.
“Quack… “
But actually, revenge is a very abstract thing. There is a saying that the best revenge is forgiveness. So, wouldn’t enjoying a happy sex life after being captured by me be revenge against the villains who are trying to bring the people of the world into despair?
“Check.”
It might be unfair, but if you twist it, you should be careful with the Constellation contract.
Thinking so, I invited Cynthia, who sent me a request for negotiation, to my image space.
