I Was Contracted By The Empress As An S Rank Familiar - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Upon Obtaining the System, One Could Become Stronger By Lying Flat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The highest level of the Rainbow Light had not appeared for many years. The last time it appeared was in the history books.

The crowd below the stage did not dare to imagine what kind of familiar the Rainbow Light could summon.

When the light gradually faded, Shirley reappeared in the square. Her body, which was covered by the light, began to appear.

Shirley was seen having long white hair with her eyes flickering with a faint red light. This was clearly a demon’s characteristic.

However, there were no magic patterns on Shirley’s body, nor was there any demonic aura.

“Is this a person with SSS-rank talent? She’s really pretty even though she is a little witch.”

“Hush.. Don’t talk nonsense. Since she’s the person with the highest talent, she’ll definitely become the empress in the future. If someone hears this…”

“Hahaha. She has the highest talent. Even none of the demons has such a talent. With that, the Osse Empire is going to rise.”

Everyone shifted their eyes to Shirley. Then, they saw a young man, who was dumbstruck.

The person who was summoned was called Pan Liang. He was originally a slave, who was working overtime in the middle of the night before being summoned.

Pan Liang, who was extremely sleepy, yawned. All of a sudden, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart. A thought flashed through his mind. ‘Am I going to drop dead?’

The next moment, he appeared in the square with an antique long sword in his hand.

He held the sword and glanced around. Then, it hit him that he had traveled through time.

He had read a lot of mangas involving heroes. It was very likely that he had been summoned to save the world.

“Damn it. I’ve already dropped dead, yet you guys still dragged me here to be a coolie. I’m not doing this anymore.” He lay down on the ground right after saying that.

[Ding!]

[The host has been detected to be sleep-deprived and fed up with work. The Lie-Flat System is now activated.]

[As long as you complete the daily mission, you can level up by lying flat.]

[Ding! A newbie gift pack has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining the Immortal Sword Template.]

“Pfft, I still have to do the mission. I’m already dead tired, yet I was summoned by this lousy system to do the mission. I’m not doing it.

“What’s the use of this Immortal Sword Template? It doesn’t even have a skill. How can it be called an Immortal Sword without any skills?”

[Ding! The host’s Grievance Points were detected. Grievance Points +10.]

Pan Liang, who was lying on the ground, was overjoyed. “This is good. I could obtain Grievance Points just by complaining. Not bad.”

When the audience saw the handsome Pan Liang appear on the stage with a sword in his hand, they thought that he was some powerful familiar. Who knew that this familiar would actually lie down on the ground.

Suddenly, many complaints arose. “What’s this? Why did he lie down on the ground the moment he came out?”

“What’s wrong with this familiar? Why doesn’t he even pay attention to his contract owner?”

Pan Liang ignored the voices of those people despite hearing them.

Shirley squatted down and looked at Pan Liang. “Hello, my familiar. My name is Shirley. What’s your name?”

Pan Liang opened his eyes and replied, “I’m Pan Liang.” Then, he tilted his head and fell asleep again.

Shirley shook Pan Liang’s head, but he would not open his eyes no matter how hard she shook him. It was as if he was dead.

Shirley looked around. As a very sensitive person by nature, she immediately noticed some obscure looks around her.

Since she was young, people had always looked at her bizarrely because of her mixed-blood status. Therefore, she was very sensitive to such gazes.

Those who looked at her that way were not ordinary people. They were her brothers, sisters, as well as some nobles.

At the sight of the Rainbow Light, some nobles had a strong urge to approach Shirley to recruit her straight away.

However, after some thought, they decided not to do so. At this time, other nobles, princes, and princesses would definitely turn against those who wanted to recruit Shirley regardless of who they were.

Whoever stood out would be unlucky.

Shirley did not put a lot of thought into it. She was just very disgusted by these gazes. Just now, she spotted someone recruiting Princess Nina immediately after the latter went down the stage.

Nevertheless, no one had come to recruit her up until now. Shirley thought that these people looked down on her due to her identity as a witch.

It was unsurprising that Shirley had this thought. Since she was young, she had always been very sensitive to her own identity. She was afraid of receiving strange gazes from other people.

Shirley lowered her head and looked at Pan Liang, who was on the ground. Her eyes were extremely resentful.

[Ding! Shirley’s Grievance Points were detected. Grievance Points +50.]

“Damn, why is this little girl having so many Grievance Points? I’m just lying down for a while.”

Shirley could not be blamed for having so many Grievance Points. Initially, she was very excited at the sight of the Rainbow Light she had summoned. She thought that other people would not look at her bizarrely anymore.

Given that Pan Liang was hopeless at this point, how could Shirley not be angry?

Prince Lynn, who was hiding behind, could not help but sneer when he saw this scene.

“I thought that the Rainbow Light would be able to summon some powerful familiar. In the end, it’s just a piece of junk. It’s no different from a pile of mud.”

Against Prince Lynn’s expectations, no one came to recruit him. His situation was worse than Shirley’s.

As much as Shirley was resentful, she could not abandon her familiar just like that.

She carried Pan Liang on her back and walked to the edge of the square where her carriage was.

She was not qualified to live in the imperial city, so she specially came here to awaken.

She needed to pay to awaken, but she was penniless. Sometimes, she was even deprived of food.

Although Shirley was dressed in rags and carrying a hopeless familiar, this did not prevent her from being a top-notch talent.

All the onlookers parted to let her through as she made her way to her own carriage.

When Pan Liang woke up on the carriage, he received a notification from the system.

[Ding! The host has slept for three minutes and thus received three days of cultivation. The host is now at Level 2.]

[Ding! Shirley’s Grievance Points were detected. Grievance Points +12.]

[Ding! Lynn’s Grievance Points were detected. Grievance Points +30.]

“This little girl’s Grievance Points actually dropped. It looks like she has a good heart.”

“But who is Lynn? Why did I get Grievance Points from him?”

The next moment, Pan Liang’s system was flooded with Grievance Points. Countless people contributed Grievance Points to Pan Liang.

It was probably because Shirley, the beautiful little witch, carried him to the carriage.

However, the grievances that these people nursed against him added up to one point. They were probably just a little jealous of her.

After receiving so many Grievance Points, he opened the system panel and began to check the function of Grievance Points.
