The Prince Charming System
(Season 2) Contract
[Morning of the day.].
There was the sound of birds chirping before the sun appeared, plus an alarm clock that sounded on the nightstand. Making the red-bellied young man who was sleeping soundly wake up.
Slowly he opened his eyelids revealing the blood-red Netra that was so sparkling, For a moment with an expression between still drowsy and conscious. He woke up from his sleeping position, instantly turning off the alarm that went off on the nightstand.
For a moment he paused for a moment to gather all his consciousness, then climbed out of bed to open all the curtains in his room. He walked towards the bathroom that was already available in his room.
Without wasting a long time, After the bath that made his face now become fresher than before and dressed casually. Ian walked through several other members' rooms, intending to climb down the stairs to the kitchen.
As her gaze glued to the door of Chloe's room that had the number 8 stuck on the door, she hesitantly hesitated to wake Chloe or not, But considering today he was on duty and in a hurry. Ian decided to continue his journey.
"Later he can also get up on his own," Ian thought indifferently, Skipping his legs down the stairs.
(Note: Chloe's room is adjacent to the 2nd floor staircase).
*****************
[Dining Room]
Arriving in the kitchen, there was not a single food available at the dining table. It made Ian furrow his brows for a moment, Usually every morning this food was available even before Ian and the other members woke up.
"Didn't she cook today? He was not seen in the kitchen, either? Was he on an impromptu errand to the point of not having time to make breakfast?" Ian thought astonished, There are many questions on his mind. But he ignored it for a moment.
"It looks like I'm going to cook myself today" murmured Ian softly with his flat look.
His feet stepped towards the refrigerator, intending to pick up some of the groceries he wanted to make. But before he got close to the refrigerator, his red Netra accidentally caught a familiar figure lying unconscious near the dining table.
"Huh!?" Ian furrowed his brows for a moment, Approaching the figure of a body lying on the floor.
He crouched down near the body, his Netraya widened momentarily realizing that the figure turned out to be an unconscious Chloe.
"Chloe,"
Reflex examined the girl's pulse on Chloe's wrist and neck, The girl's blue face looked as pale as white paper.
"Still breathing,"
Then her Netra accidentally catches a circular mark on Chloe's neck like a necklace, and Ian recognizes the mark very well. Even Ian also has Chloe-like markings on the rest of his body.
(Tag on Chloe's neck 👆)
"That mark...Don't you think this kid met him!?" Ian muttered slightly changing his expression.
Without waiting long Ian lifted up Chloe's body in Bridal style, bringing the girl to his room.
For a moment the young man in red felt the gaze of someone behind him, Of course he and Chloe were being watched.
***************
[Chloe's Room, Afternoon 4.00 P.M]
"Emm.., um...,"
Chloe's hand moved slightly, showing signs she'd be up any minute. Chloe slowly opened her eyes to see where she was.
As her head throbbed in pain as Chloe tried to get up, the girl grimaced and chose to lay her head back down. Her body was very limp to move, It felt like Chloe could feel her blood being reduced a lot.
"Damn, what really happened last night? What kind of creature bit me? It felt like my neck was getting very sore and hot" Chloe thought with a feeling of shock, She really felt a lot of blood loss.
After that the blue Netra looked around the room. Looking at the design of the room she was in, Chloe could already guess that this was her room.
"Lookie! Thank goodness you're okay. I was so worried when I saw Ian carrying you here" Holy said anxiously, Flying over to Chloe who was lying limp on the bed.
"She's carrying me?"
"Yes, I don't know what happened to you. But when Ian took you to this room, I saw that your face was as pale as paper. When I woke up in the morning you weren't in bed, I thought you had gone to the kitchen for breakfast, "Silence was still anxious, looking sad at Chloe's horrible condition.
"Actually where have you been? What happened to your face so pale like never before?"
For a moment Chloe fell silent, Remembering the incident that happened to her.
"I don't understand, either, I woke up last night thirsty. When I got to the kitchen it turned out the lights were off, I was willing to turn on but I accidentally noticed that something was moving between the darkness. I thought it was a burrow so I approached her," As Chloe paused her words, Taking a breath.
"But my presence was even discovered because I accidentally nenggol chair, Yes I immediately want to run away. But he was quicker than I thought and then he caught me and I didn't understand what he was doing, but when he caught me there was pain in my neck and I think he took my blood," Obviously Chloe after ending her story, that's all she remembers.
Holy was surprised then shouted out suddenly. "VAMPIRE! Fix is definitely the same feature as you mentioned,"
Chloe instantly closed her ears for a moment, then looked at Holy while furrowing her brows. "Masa? Isn't that Vampire not real? They're just myths, right,"
"It could be that they exist, it's in the game. Plus this hostel is surrounded by dense forests,"
"Yes, but it's impossible to dong! As I recall in the original storyline where there were Vampires. The game's timeline can be deviated from the original storyline!?" Chloe's protest didn't take it because it didn't make sense to her.
"And from the beginning you entered the world of this game, the original storyline has indeed gone far," said Holy while snorting and sneering.
Chloe was silent for a moment and then a little whimper, after remembering it. "Eh, yes too. I forgot,"
Holy rolled his eyes bored, choosing to sit on the nightstand. A moment Holy looked at Chloe's body, examining the girl's condition with her hologram.
"Chloe I see here, your blood is reduced by a quarter. I think the creature took too much, so you're very limp now, "Oh Holy's clear after checking Chloe's condition.
"Sadly, it feels like my legs can't be moved at the moment. I just got a blood donation from someone a few days ago, and my blood has been reduced" Grumpy Chloe said, Though her stomach is still recovering.
After feeling less dizzy, Chloe slowly changed her position to lean on the back of the mattress. To make him feel better.
GECK! GECK! GECK!
"Who?"
"Dian,"
Hearing the answer from the inside, Ian opened Chloe's room door and stepped into the girl's room. In his hand was a tray of porridge, a glass of mineral water and a small red bottle, in which he looked pill-shaped.
Ian approached the nightstand and placed his tray there, Of course Holy has stayed away from the nightstand before. Then the black-spirited young man sat down on the side of the mattress and thrust the mineral water at Chloe.
Chloe accepted it and immediately drank it a little. Then put it on the nightstand.
"Eat this, and then take some medicine" Ian pours a bowl of porridge on the tray at Chloe's.
Chloe momentarily glanced at the medicine in question while receiving the porridge.
"What medicine is that? The color looks weird,"
"Vitamins," Reply Ian flatly, He's lying. The truth is that medicine is not a vitamin.
Chloe's just a mangosteen, eating her porridge in silence. While Ian chose to read his light novel as usual while waiting for Chloe to finish.
Soon the porridge was gone, although Chloe felt a bit tasteless the porridge. But he was positive enough, Maybe because he is sick at this time, so the taste of the porridge is less. After eating her food, Chloe independently took a bottle of the little medicine in question, which she thought was Vitamins like Ian said.
She takes one pill (If Chloe feels weird about the color of the pill being red, Chloe rarely squirms about the pill medicine being red). Sipping it with one sip with mineral water until it runs out.
"I've eaten one pill, but how does it taste so bitter? Seriously this vitamin drug? Vitamin feeling is not bitter gini deh," said Chloe astonished while paying attention to the medicine she just drank.
Ian closed his novel, he thought it was time to explain the secrets in this dormitory. After all Chloe already knows some of the secrets hidden in this dormitory, especially now the girl has really officially become a member of the group.
"You can keep the medicine, one day you'll need it again to replenish your blood, Every member must have the medicine including the hostel owner," Ian said coldly, Making Chloe slightly jerked for a moment.
"What do you mean!? Don't tell me this medicine isn't a vitamin!? And you lied about that vitamin," Chloe started to get curious and upset.
"Yes right, I did lie because I thought you would refuse to eat it if I told you the truth," Ian sighed for a moment, Staring at Chloe's Blue Netra. "Honestly, the drug is not a vitamin but a blood-boosting drug. Moreover, your blood was reduced because of him, right?"
Chloe was surprised, How did Ian know that he was lacking blood?
"How did you know? Do you know the creature that bit me?"
"I also experienced it when I first entered this Dormitory, It's painful and you will feel very weak the next day because your blood was taken. He's actually one of the old members of this Dormitory, he's usually in charge of tagging all the new Dormitory members who live here to be Official,"
Ian gazed out the window, Chloe choosing to quietly listen to all of Ian's explanations. Then the young man in red opened his voice again.
"In addition to being in charge of marking new members, she is also in charge of becoming a Dormitory cook. He can only drink human blood, Well like a Vampire but he is not a Vampire, Blood is his main food. How to mark new members is to take their blood a little, Once done then will appear a sign like on your neck,"
Ian picks up a small mirror on Chloe's dresser, points at the girl's neck which leaves Chloe shocked half-dead and Reflex takes the mirror from Ian.
"What the fuck!? Why is this mark on my neck? Yesterday my neck was still clean with no sign of this. Is this some kind of tattoo?" Chloe said, Surprised by the appearance of a strange mark on her neck.
"Can be said to look like a tattoo, Not only the members even the owner of this Dormitory also have that sign. I have the same mark as you, too,"
Ian took off the two buttons on the top of his clothes, lowered a bit of the cloth on the right side of his shoulder. Showing a sign or Star-shaped tattoo on the top of his right shoulder. Chloe blinked her eyes in disbelief.
"Signs like this will appear randomly the next day after he took blood from the members, the Signs also have different shapes according to their respective properties," explained Ian, She re-buttons her upper clothes after showing them to Chloe.
For a moment Chloe furrowed her brows. "What kind of regulation is that!? Why should every member have such a sign even the owner of the Dormitory?"
"Now I don't know either, the hostel owner ordered him like that, after all he's not human. So it was natural that he could feel the presence of the new member in the Dormitory, and instantly marked without waiting for long," Ian sighed for a moment.
"The presence of the sign means that you officially have an agreement with the owner of the Dormitory and a contract of bond with one of the members. Every weekend at night, usually he will come to visit the other members' room to ask for blood periodically. That's why I told you to keep the medicine, because otherwise he could have drained your blood overnight,"
It sounds terrible to Chloe. Is that why the Dormitory owner built this Dormitory in the middle of the forest so that there are no victims? But how does it feel that the members who live here even become a collision huh?
"That means he's a monster? You're saying I should reconsider my decision to stay here before he comes? And now I'm sorry I chose to accept the deal and stay here" Chloe said. Making Ian who heard it snort a little.
"She at first glance looks like a Monster but she's not a Monster or a human, If you meet her again then you'll know who she really is" Ian said flatly, leaning his back against Chloe's bedroom wall. "Your regret is too late, you've met him and have that mark as an official Member. So no one can get out of this Dorm before your deal with the Dorm Owner is done,"
"I did say consider your decision, but if you're marked like this there's no chance of you getting out or running away from here. Just try to escape, and see what happens if you keep pushing yourself out of here,"
Chloe was frustrated really very frustrated, If you know this she would never accept the deal if you knew this Dormitory was more terrible behind it than Chloe's alleged appeal.
"Where is he now?" Ask Chloe was-was.
"Maybe you're cooking dinner in the kitchen or you're still locked up in your room,"
"Is he feeling guilty or afraid?"
"Feel guilty? Don't expect that from him, he'll never feel that feeling because he doesn't have emotions and feelings" Ian said rather cynically.
Chloe momentarily blinked her eyes, Really she was really confused right now. What kind of creature bit him last night? Ian said the creature was not a Vampire, Not a Monster, Not a Human. Thenwhat? A leech?
Ah, time bodo with that creature. The important thing is that he has to think of a way to get out of this dorm after recovering from his illness. No matter what the name of the Contract, the Deal, or what is it!? All that matters is that he just wants to go home.
"That's one of the Secrets in this Dorm, how is it? Now you're sorry? Unfortunately you're too late to regret everything" said Ian indifferently, as he stood up from his seat. Get out of Chloe's room.
"Then, can't Ian just help me get out of here?" Chloe turned her head, looking at the young man's back.
"No! It's the same as suicide. Moreover, this dormitory is surrounded by forest. Many wild animals roam out there including at night. This dormitory is also in strict care and always gets supervision from the owner of the Dormitory through CCTV," said Ian coldly without turning his head. "So don't try to get out of here,"
A TAP! A TAP! A TAP!
BLAM!
Afterwards Ian left Chloe's room, leaving Chloe and Holy who had been listening.
"I don't care about any of that, I just want to go back to my house" Chloe said slowly.
"Yes right, this hostel is dangerous. We'd better get out of here, "Silence agrees.
"Tonight we'll get out of here,"
Chloe looked outside the window where a lush view of the forest blocking the afternoon sunlight was visible. Although she knew that going out at night would be very dangerous but all Chloe wanted was to go back to her house even though she had become an Official member in this Dormitory.
