How come you're... this is not right! They sent monsters?! Are you Nightmares too, like me?! Nightmare Demons, perhaps?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess she can't rationalize our existences otherwise,\" I said to my family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed to be going insane, something incredible for a being born from humanity's traumas, hatred, and fears. But no, we are not beings as simple as \"Nightmare Demons\" that's really dumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, let's call ourselves \"Otherworldly Gods\" instead! Isn't that much better? Yeah, it has a nice ring to it, I like it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can call us that, but we're Otherworldly Gods that come from a higher world. Now... you either cooperate with us, or I eat you and your soul, and I drain every hint of info within you anyways,\" I said. \"I'm hungry, you know? Normal food doesn't make it for me anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ferocious jackal-like face groaned, as I showed her my sharp teeth. I could essentially eat her right now if I wanted, a single bite was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it would be more useful for her to be alive for us, as she could help us infiltrate with the other Nightmare Demons, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I beat her to almost death back then, it seemed she didn't realize I was going easy on her... She imagined she could defeat me after regaining her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that I was a softie that would let her live until then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was wrong, completely wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it showed, her face was growing fearful, she was sweating a lot, her eyes spiraling with insanity, head was trembling, she was gritting her sharp eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eeep! P-Please spare me! I'll do anything you say!\" she kept crying tears of horror, our presences seemed to even inflict damage into her mind. \"Mighty Nightmare Demons of such a high lineage as you... I-I'll serve you! Y-Yes! I dislike my father anyways! S-So please let me serve you! I'll tell you! Anything you want I'll tell you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was easier than I thought,\" I laughed. \"Where is that bravado from earlier, Nightmare girl? Now tell me your damn name, we're making a contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-A contract?\" she asked feaerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! Nightmares are beings similar to Spirits,\" I said. \"So I want to try making a contract with you. I'll become your master and you, my Nightmare Demon Spirit! Do you like the idea? You may even grow stronger than before, dear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"B-But that's... isn't that slavery?!\" she cried. \"I-I...! I am made from the fears, hatred, and trauma of humanity, but even this is... a bit too much? Please have mercy, we're on the same side if you're truly Nightmare Demons! Why don't we... cooperate normally?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screw this bitch! Why don't we just eat her?!\" Partner roared angrily. \"I'm not in the mood for her yapping anymore! You either cooperate or you're dead meat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hyeeeh! Okay, okay! I'll do it! I don't want to dieeeee!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't want to die for some reason, she's very cowardly, even though she was so rough against me and thought she could win, risking her life as we battled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does that mean that she pussies out when she learns that she has no chance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you quite the pussy? HAHAHAHAH!\" Partner laughed at her, pointing her fingers at the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>tiny head. \"Pathetic bitch! Don't even try to get cocky again, you heard me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes!\" the Nightmare Demon kept crying. \"I don't want to die... Uwaaah! Papaaaa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started calling her papa now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dammit, why do I have to feel a bit bad now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm so stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, just give me your name and we'll stop bullying you,\" I said. \"Then, a contract! And I could even help you regrow your body afterwards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh... Sniff, my name is... Beatriz,\" she sighed. \"I am the Third Daughter of the Nightmare Demon King! A-And... I specialize on Shapeshifting. I can turn in any form and shape!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, that's convenient,\" I nodded. \"Alright, Beatriz, I'll start the contract now. agree to all terms and you will live, and even gain benefits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okaaay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted an eyebrow as she glanced at me curiously and confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stated all conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very basic stuff, such as total loyalty, no betrayals, giving all info, giving all her help, and even fighting other nightmare demons or nightmares if necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also not killing humans anymore, unless I tell her to do so, and she'll obey every word I say, always, forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-These terms are insane; wouldn't it be better to just die?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She complained, groaning angrily as her head hopped on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well! I'll gladly make your wish come true!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Partner smiled viciously, licking her bat-like jaws, opening them and...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hyaaaaggh! Noooo! Okay! I-I accept the terms! Eww, your breath stinks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she complained while Partner intimidated her, she agreed to the terms and conditions of our contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FLUOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Spiritual and Cursed Connection was established between the two of us, as threads made of our dark souls combined and got together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was now a new Spirit of mine, yet she wasn't really a spirit either, kind of like Tyr!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt a surge of her Nightmare energies, feeling slightly stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had already obtained Nightmare Elemental Powers from absorbing part of Arachne's\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed these were completely different elements anyways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nightmare Essence of this world wasn't Nightmare-type Mana at all, nor Demonic\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just... its own and twisted Essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations!
