Emily looked toward Isaac for a brief moment. After seeing him nod, she turned back to Sage Sea.
There was little risk in telling him the truth. If Sage Sea ultimately declined the contract, he would simply return to the nothingness of death until the System summoned him again through another Ancient Spirit Contract.
The odds of someone else ever meeting him again through a contract were practically nonexistent. There were simply too many people across existence who could be potentially summoned instead of him.
Emily began telling her story from the beginning. She spoke about her childhood, the hardships she had faced, the arrival of the System, and the life she had built alongside Isaac.
Sage Sea listened quietly without interrupting even once. His wise eyes remained fixed on Emily as though every part of her story deserved his complete attention.
