"Summoner. Thatâsâ¦" Anubis gasped.
"Yep." Nathan smiled. On his right hand, the contract wasnât about the forced agreement that these people had to tell them the truth.
Instead, the contract was [Party B will transfer his memory to Party A, Nathan Reckmoonâs mind directly.].
It was no wonder Anubis was surprised. In fact, the other contract was not that different.
[Party B will give his information or knowledge about the Divine Hand Organization to Party A, Nathan Reckmoonâs mind directly.]
"Can the contract be used like that?"
"Yes. Although Iâm still thinking about how to proceed with the price, itâs possible. After what the Fairy Queen told me about resurrecting myself, I couldnât help but come up with this idea.
"Besides, I once received a dream that felt like a premonition. It was so vivid that I thought it was real. It was something I had experienced before.
"Still, I donât know about the self-hypnotized, but canât I actually use the contract to get someoneâs memory?
"You know, Iâve come to realize how overpowered this contract is after learning about the innate ability.
"For example, if I make a contract with myself from 3 years ago, like giving the memory of the future me to the me from 3 years ago, what will happen? A regression? Or maybe I can make a contract with the worldâs timeline instead, saying that it should send me to a few years ago.
"Of course, the price will be enormous, but it might actually be possible. How about other tropes I see in novels? Maybe I can create a system or something? The autonomous process of a system is too much for me, but the concept itself is possible, no?
"Reincarnation, regression, and so on⦠Iâm not going to do that, but if I end up failing to fight against the aliens, canât I do this as the last resort?
"How about the price? Ena itself is not the entire thing I can pay. I have my hands. How much can I sell my hands, my brain, my heart, or even my death for?

"Or perhaps⦠My memory! While the process of my transmigration alone is still a mystery, I believe itâs actually possible. So, the Soul Contract is indeed the culprit of my transmigration. I donât know whatâs going on. All the current options are not possible yet because I canât pay it right now, but I know how to step forward."
Anubisâ expression turned grim. "Sacrificing your own death? This is a different matter from sacrificing your own life, you know?"
"I know. Sacrificing my death means I will become immortal. When everyone is leaving or dying, I alone will still be alive. When that happens, I might want to die but will never die. When thereâs only nothing left in this universe, Iâll still be there, alone. Donât you understand it better than me? Youâre known as the God of Afterlife and Immortality, after all."
Anubis gritted his teeth. "Donât ever do that. Donât ever sacrifice your own death. I warn you."
Nathan chuckled. "I know, I know."
"Donât sacrifice your organs as well, including your memory."
"I know." Nathan smiled wryly.
"Also, donât ask for their memory. Itâs something expensive. If youâre going to choose between the two contracts, you should choose the second one. However, donât transfer it directly to your brain. It will definitely harm you in the long run.
"If you get enough memory from other people, no matter how good you are at turning your brain off, you will start questioning yourself whether youâre still Nathan or someone else.
"In addition, your habits, your feelings, and other things will change. In other words, an identity crisis. Thatâs why if you want to do it, never transfer it directly to your brain. Iâm warning you as your familiar as well as your guardian."
"I understand. I wonât do that. I will just force them to confess." Nathan smiled wryly. "See? I changed the contract."
[Party B will tell Party A, Nathan Reckmoonâs, any information about the Divine Hand Organization that Party B belongs to in exchange for a fair judgment.]
To Nathan and Anubisâ surprise, the contract suddenly broke down.
"Hmm?" Nathan furrowed his eyebrows.
Anubis squinted his eyes. "It failed?"
"Yeah. Itâs the same contract, albeit itâs more detailed. Is the price not enough?"
"Maybe. But are you going to sacrifice your ena again?"
"No way I will do that. Do you forget that while the magazine in my pistol is already gone, I still have several mags?" Nathan opened his robe, showing several magazines hanging inside his robe.
"Ah!" Anubis nodded. "Then again, I wonder if this is enough. After all, youâre going to get the information from this scout guy, right? He seems to be the most knowledgeable, so his information might be more than 4,000 ena."
"I know, but we can only try it." Nathan glanced at the other two. "The woman is supposed to be sent to Sir Sullivan, but itâs not possible right now. That guy is the one who will be judged for his knowledge about the bloody banquet. So, itâs better to get the information from him.
"Besides, it will be good to have some prior information so that we can cross-check their answer, right? And this time, he wonât realize he has given that information since heâs still under intoxication.
"But this time, the only thing we can do is transfer that answer directly into my mind, or the curse will be activated," explained Nathan.
"I guess my words donât reach you as much as Fenrir, huh?" Anubis narrowed his eyes. "I know that youâre smart enough to know that you can activate the contract right before he is killed so that he will die before the curse is activated."
"â¦" Nathan scratched the back of his head. "Well, Iâm just curious. If you can transfer pure knowledge into your brain directly, canât you make a contract with books or something?"
Anubis contemplated for a moment before shaking his head. "No. If youâre going to try this on someone, you better get all of your familiarsâ approvals. We donât want you to destroy yourself."
Nathan sighed. "Fine, I will give up for now, changing the contract again."
"Hmph."
