Obtaining 10x rewards! Reincarnated into a novel as a side-character!

Chapter 3: 10x binding system? Obtaining 10 times the benefits

Chapter 3

[Ding! Conditions met. Binding System has been activated.]

System?

He froze for a second before becoming overjoyed. His golden finger had arrived after all.

He had initially planned to become that guy who uses his manipulation skills and becomes friends with all major characters for his safety.

It was a troublesome choice, but he was planning to do that if he had nothing, but now it didn't seem necessary.

[The Binding System allows the host to bind himself to one character, and as they grow stronger and achieve a milestone in their progress, the host will receive ten times the result.]

'What the fuck!? This is so insane!' He was shocked beyond words; the system was extremely powerful.

But the next moment, he calmed down and focused on the words 'milestone' and 'progress'.

'Hey, system...? Are you there? Can you elaborate further on what this means?' He wanted to learn about the basic details; the words felt ambiguous.

However, even after waiting a minute, he received no response and became aware that the system was not sentient.

'Well, this is also good. I don't like those, anyways...'

From what he could understand, the system would allow him to bind himself to a character, and as they trained and became stronger, he would receive ten times the benefits of their training and rewards.

It was undoubtedly a cheat. But considering he could only bind himself to one person at a time, then his rate of growth would be limited to that person's talent and hard work...

'Well... that wouldn't be too big of a problem.'

He remembered that there were many geniuses among geniuses in the novel; they were excellent exorcists despite being young and worked tirelessly daily to achieve greater heights.

Of course, his goal was different.

'There is no better candidate for binding than the protagonist.'

He could not help but smile as he remembered the monster the protagonist was. Not only in terms of talent, but also hard work; there were few who could dare to even keep up with the protagonist in the entire novel.

For now, however, he had more pressing matters to attend to; not only was he useless, but he also believed that his treatment in the clan would soon become worse.

Although he did not like the sound of that, he could do nothing for the time being; he first must find a temporary candidate to bind to until he meets the protagonist.

'Mystic Purge Clan... huh.'

Thinking about the clan, a few suitable candidates popped up in his head; they were quite good and talented.

He knew that if he did not bind someone soon, he might even suffer permanently.

The Clan was infamous for its cruel nature exorcists. He knew they wouldn't even care if he was killed by a demon or attacked someday.

He needed strength to keep himself safe as long as he was in the clan.

'Maybe I will do that... She's suitable, surely.'

He decided on a suitable candidate for as long as he was in the clan.

Nadia Mystic.

The 4th young miss of the clan. And an important character in the novel.

She was born with the greatest talent in the clan, inheriting the traits of both the Patriarch and Ophelia.

She was the genius miss from the clan, showing greater talent than any of her siblings; people often compared her to the founder of the clan in terms of talent.

The moment she was born, Ophelia showed intense expressions for the first time after many years.

In the novel, Nadia was trained by the best exorcists in the clan and had countless resources at her disposal since birth.

She was a monster who could keep up with the protagonist of the generation.

However, her personality was shit.

Perhaps it was due to the presence of ruthless Ophelia and the cruel patriarch that she had a vicious personality upon growing up.

Cold, ruthless, inhuman...

These words could not do her justice. In the novel, exorcists from the other clans had given her a dark nickname for her inhuman tactics.

'Demon in a human's skin.'

A shameful nickname for any exorcist; to be compared to a demon, their worst enemies, it was the greatest taint an exorcist could experience.

Yet, Nadia was uncaring throughout her time; she slaughtered demons and hunted the humans who stood in her path.

She was indifferent to everything. The relationship between her and the protagonist of the novel was platonic and unclear to readers.

Even the strong-willed protagonist failed to persuade her to change her beliefs. She was that staunch.

'Now I need to know if she had been born already... well, who am I even?'

He thought helplessly, not even knowing his own name. There were many children, and he hoped that Nadia should be there already.

He prayed that he be younger so he could quickly bind to Nadia... and start reaping benefits quickly.

For now, all he could do was wait in the wooden baby cot, having nothing to do.

He started to revise his knowledge about the novel that he would be needing in the near future.

'This should be the beginning stages of the novel considering the time; Ophelia had just birthed me, so there's no doubt about it that the novel has yet to enter the main arcs.'

'The beginning arc was a bit bland as compared to other arcs; for now, the war between the demons and exorcists should be at a stalemate. The clans must be preparing their younglings for the future.'

'Then there will be the Academy arc where the main drama will begin... till then I need to get a good amount of strength.'

The candle lights in the room flickered violently, and a dark aura was enveloping the entire household that night.

Unknowingly, Ophelia had birthed an anomaly that she could not determine. An entity that was beyond her comprehension and might.

It was not clear what the future held for their clan or even the world.

But one thing was sure, demons and humans both would suffer the turbulence alike.

It all depended on him now.
