A strange blue screen appeared in front of Leon. The screen looked like something that only existed in Korean or Chinese novels and comics. Leon tried to touch it and he could feel that the screen in front of him looked like something solid but also seemed like something that didn't exist in the real world.
As a human being who has a brain in his head, he immediately did what anyone with full awareness would do when they saw something like this.
Leon immediately hit his cheek very hard. Pain and red blood came out of his mouth. If this was a dream, he would probably wake up by now, if this was an illusion or delusion, then he would soon wake up. But the screen remained in the air as if waiting for Leon to see it.
"This is real? No, there's no way this is an illusion. I've never used drugs or anything like that." Leon got up while feeling the pain of the blow. Looking at the screen above, this is not just an illusion or fantasy.
It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but Leon wasn't someone who would immediately believe something like myth or superstition. He is a logical and knowledgeable person and has extensive experience.
He has traveled around all the countries on earth and studied their various languages and cultures. His views are so broad, and his experience so much. Nowadays, people or researchers of human history and culture and anthropology will chase him just to learn from Leon.
When his body slowly calmed down, Leon looked back at the screen in front of him.
[agreement contract. Do you want to receive it? Y/N]
"What's this? Agreement contract? Heir?" Leon immediately thought about the strange voice that suddenly appeared in his head. Something inside him immediately awakened, something he had long buried deep after seeing everything in this world.
Leon immediately pressed [Y] and the screen changed to something that looked like a contract.
[Contract agreement between host (Heir) and system
First clause: The System has no responsibility for carelessness and stupidity committed by the Host/heir and the future consequences. All forms of cause and effect relationships that arise are the result of the actions of the host/heir themselves.
Second clause: The system will assist the host/heir in its development through the rules and limitations of the system.
Third Clause: The host/heir is not permitted to inform about the existence of the system directly or indirectly. If this clause is violated, the System will immediately terminate the contract and look for a new heir.
Fourth clause: The Host/heir has an obligation to survive as long as possible no matter how hopeless or how miserable a life the Host/heir decides to live. If the Host commits suicide, the contract will be terminated and the system will look for a new Host/heir.
Fifth Clause: If the Host/heir decides to agree to this contract, you will be appointed as the next successor of the Magic Tower of Babel and have full rights in managing the Magic Tower of Babel as well as all the knowledge possessed by the Magic Tower of Babel.
Sixth clause: If the chosen Host/heir decides to agree to all the clauses above, then the Host/heir is obliged to obey the rules of the Tower of Babel and must develop it with all the power that the Host/heir has. On the other hand, if the Host/heir decides to reject this contract, then all memories regarding the system and contract will be erased and the system will look for the next Host/heir. It should be noted, that you don't need to worry because your life will not be in danger.
Will you accept? Y/N]
Leon looked carefully at the contents of the contract on the screen. There is not a single point that weighs against Leon if he accepts the contract offered by an entity like the system in front of him. There is no coercion like the cliche plot where the system seems to force itself to join the MC. For a moment, he was grateful that it happened.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
He really didn't like it when the freedom he had had to be limited by the strange and unreasonable quests that often appeared in system novels that were popular several years ago.
Leon stared at the screen in front of him. Whether the system could hear him or not, he decided to ask one thing. "I want to ask, if I agree to this contract, will my life become more interesting?"
And unexpectedly, a small screen appeared next to the contract.
[that's subjective. The interesting thing is that only you can determine. If you feel that life remains boring even after agreeing to this contract, the system suggests breaking the third clause which will withdraw all authority you have as Host/heir. In this case, the host/heir can rest easy because the system will not take something small like life or power that you will have in the future.]
[keep in mind, the system can always look for a new host/heir.]
"Oh, I see. Honestly, I thought I was having hallucinations when I saw this." Leon looked once again remembering everything he had ever done in this world.
"Tsukishima, Chen, Alex, John..." Leon mentioned several names of his friends who had made the most impression in his life. They are all in various countries in the world. During his travels, they were the people who helped him the most when he was traveling around the world.
Tsukishima is the friend he sees most often because they have been friends since they were at university. Even though at that time, he acted like a strange person, Tsukishima was not uncomfortable or disgusted when he became friends with him.
Chen, who comes from China, was the person who helped him when he was visiting and traveling around China. He was a kind-hearted person, he even let him stay for several months while accompanying him around China and teaching him Mandarin.
There was also Alex and his group who helped him climb the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. When Leon almost died halfway up Mount Everest, Alex helped him and they became close friends.
John is also the same because this person is his teacher and friend whom he met when he did extreme stunts such as diving into caves in the sea and skydiving. There were many more friends throughout his life who helped him a lot.
Leon still remembers his name clearly and hasn't forgotten it in the slightest. He said happily remembering that they had lived a happy life. "You all taught me a lot and have accompanied me a lot. You hope that one day, I will become a happy person and get rid of this boredom inside me."
Even though he never told it, his friends knew that Leon had an unchangeable side from seeing his behavior. Therefore, they would always hope that one day, he would be able to get rid of his boredom and live a happy life.
Recalling his friends, Leon had decided within himself. He immediately pressed [Y], agreeing to the contract marked by the system. The screen changes and shows another screen.
[contract has been approved. You, Leonardo Constantine, will be appointed as the new heir to the magic Tower of Babel. As the heir, you will be aided by the babel system and begin your path as a pioneer and heir to the supreme magus.]
[The Babel system will be opened and your status will be updated.]
[the acceptance prize will be decided and given after you choose the difficulty level.]
[Keep in mind, that this system will not give you power instantly. The system will only give you an opportunity and open your way as the best Magus. As for whether the inheritor can do it, it depends on how hard you put in the effort to become the best magus.]
[The system will give you a quest to help you manage the magic tower of Babel and you will be given rewards but no punishment even if you fail in doing so. There is no coercion on the heir, which means you can choose not to do it or not fulfill the quest requirements, but the prize will still be given according to the system assessment. You can also exceed the given quest conditions and the rewards will be better.]
[The relevant knowledge you need will be implanted in your head.]
Leon flinched slightly when he saw several screens appear simultaneously. His head was immediately filled with pain at the rules of the so-called magic tower of Babel.
"This… This…!!! This is crazy." Leon almost cursed but immediately bit his tongue and immediately hit his cheek a second time. The memories and knowledge regarding the magic tower of Babel, he knew as clearly as if he had once been a member of the magic tower of Babel itself.
Because of that, Leon immediately stopped cursing in his mouth and immediately hit himself for having such despicable thoughts. He was afraid, that the disgusting thoughts he previously had would offend an entity like the magic tower of Babel.
He is just an ordinary human being. Even though he knew that the system would not violate the contract given, that did not prevent the various crazy fanatics within the magic tower of Babel.
Why does the system provide knowledge like this? Leon could guess it now. After receiving the knowledge and information in his head, he knew that an entity like the magic tower of Babel was not something he could defile by spreading false news and trivial lies like in other novels.
Once he did this, those crazy fanatics from the magic tower of Babel would immediately chase him down even if he fled across the world.
"This... what I have been involved with." Leon looked back at the screen in front of him which was called the Babel system.
The System didn't seem to care what happened to Leon. A blue screen began to appear in front of Leon as if giving a warning in its words.
[Your status has been updated. The next heir to the magic tower of babel, Leonardo Constantine. Congratulations on being selected as the new leader of the magic tower of Babel.]
