Chapter Summaries

Andrew signed a Contract with the woman in red after carefully reading its clauses, while secretly changing several of them. Chloe stayed behind, convinced that Andrew had doomed his soul, unaware that his signature came from a virtual soul and that his alterations had begun a plan to ensnare the Demon King.

• Chloe urged Andrew not to make a deal with the Demon King, but Andrew decided he wanted a strong body, Eternal Life, and more pleasure.
• The woman in red took Andrew to a bar full of Demons and lured humans, then brought him to an office to sign a Contract granting Seven Wishes.

• Andrew signed the agreement, but the woman in red did not realize he had used a virtual soul and secretly altered clauses to bring her under his influence.

• The woman in red offered to amplify Chloe's consciousness, and Andrew asked Chloe whether she was willing to risk the fight.
