One of my novel got contracted in Webnovel.
I tried getting the contract to get some cash (I really need cash right now to pay my increased rent. It's expensive!)
I would appreciate it if you take a lot at it and support me by giving 5 Star Reviews or just read the novel!
The title is Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract in my 2nd account named MythicalOssan
Thank you!

Jin sat against the tree after sparring with Vali for 5 minutes.
It was just as promised and only to satisfy Vali. Jin stopped all his skills when the alarm he set before the duel rang.
The clearing was disastrous. Their spar gouged some ground here and there. Jin really didn't want to do it again. Of course, he only used the combination of fire and holy magic without any PoD. It would invite something unnecessary if he used Bael's family bloodline Magic against Vali.
As a result, some parts of the forest were burned, and the crater was filled with burning cinder. This was the first time Jin had ever used holy fire seriously against an enemy. Serious in terms of a spar, not a deathly duel. So he held back a little too.
However, his opponent was only hurt slightly. His clothes were burned, and only some of his skin was burned by the fire. At that moment, Jin realized something about Vali, but he kept it in his mind.
This something was probably a secret, as the silver-haired Dragon Emperor didn't tell him anything. He wouldn't say something about it too, as Vali had helped him a lot.
Now then, the perpetrator of the spar laughed loudly beside him.
"You've really become strong, Hyoudou Jin! To be honest, I was surprised by how strong you are now. Look, I got injured because of our spar!"
That wasn't the look of someone who got injured and in pain. A feral smile appeared on Vali's face as he glanced at Jin.
"On the other hand, you look perfectly fine. While I didn't use all my strength and didn't even use my Sacred Gear, that was still impressive."
"Said someone who didn't even use his Sacred Gear ability." Jin spat out with a smirk. "Still, why are you in this place? Didn't you say you were going to see the situation from a distance?"
"Azazel contacted me." Vali replied casually. "He said he needed the body of the man that you defeated. There is something bugging him, he said."
"The body?" Jin asked curiously. "What's wrong with the body of the man I had defeated?"
"Yes." Hakuryuukou nodded. "You know about the Holy Sword experiment church conducted to create an artificial Holy Sword user?"
Jin nodded.
Of course, he knew about it. He even got a skill from Irina that said (Artificial) literally. From that, he knew that Irina was actually one of the artificial Holy Sword users too.
"What about them?"
It made him curious as Kiba was also related to that experiment. And by extension, one of the culprits behind the experiment was involved in this too, according to Xenovia and Irina when he inter- asked them nicely.
That culprit was named Valper Galilei, someone responsible for the inhuman experiment.
"There is another experiment behind the closed curtain. It is to create humans who are compatible with a Hero's gene, Sigurd. In short, they create artificial humans, and most of the failures are thrown out and become stray exorcists. That man you fought and defeated was probably one of the failures."
'Another one' Jin sighed tiredly.
Another experiment popped up. This was something he surely wanted to avoid at all costs. But no it was too late for him. He had defeated one of their failures, so he knew he would get involved with the person behind the experiment sooner or later.
"Another one of the failures is someone you know well, Freed Sellzen, the mad exorcist."
"That guy, huh?"
So it started way earlier than this. He only blamed his fate for getting involved with them.
If he knew something like this would happen, he would just go to the countryside and create a quiet ranch and build a small harem to survive for a long time in that place.
His only choice now was to get stronger faster. His System was also about to level up again.

Just a little more, and he would be able to get even stronger.
"So you're here to take the guy on Azazel's order? Then by chance, you met Issei and Kiba and asked them to fight you? Is that it?"
"You're right." Vali confirmed with a firm nod. "I am a bit disappointed with your twin brother's strength, though. I thought he was at least as strong as you when we first met."
"I told you don't expect too much," Jin replied as he stood up, cleaning his pants with his hands. The dust that got stuck fell, and it was clean again. "So, where is the man?"
"Ah Actually, that's where the problem came." Vali smiled wryly, and Jin had a rather bad feeling about it.
"Don't tell me" His eyes widened a little as Vali closed his eyes.
"Yes. He ran away when I was busy fighting your brother and his friend."
"Seriously?"
Alright. He needed to reevaluate Vali a bit more. It was too careless of him. He knew that Hakuryuukou was a fighting maniac, but to let the man run from him? Wasn't that a bit too much?
"That man is your responsibility." Jin glared at Vali, to which the silver-haired man replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
"I know. I will find him shortly."
Standing up, Vali dusted his pants and spread his translucent blue wings.
"Well then, I will take my leave now. That was fun, Hyoudou Jin."
"Yeah, don't forget about the man! Also, tell Kuroka to contact me once in a while. I am worried about her."
"Sure. Oh, your sword is safe in my base now. Just tell me whenever you want if you need it."
Vali flapped his wings and floated to the sky. His wings created a gust of wind that sent the dust flying, making Jin squint his eyes slightly.
"I will."
After Hakuryuukou got his answer, he smiled and turned around. He literally disappeared from where he was with just another flap of his wing.
That speed was way faster than the man who used the Excalibur fragment earlier. Even Jin had a hard time seeing Vali's movement.
If only that guy used it in the spar, then he wouldn't know how it would end. Maybe he would be forced to use the Power of Destruction or all his strength. Surely, Milking Room would be able to beat Vali, but that was his trump card and couldn't be used carelessly in a fight.
"Well now" Jin turned toward the destruction their spar caused and clicked his tongue. "I guess I need to fix this area first."
