Chapter 4 - The Heavenly Realm-Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Unchosen Pact

🌫️ (The cave remains dark. The fire dims to a flicker. Liu Shen slowly pulls himself up and leans against the wall.)

👤 Liu Shen (gasping):

— "What... is this world? My body feels like a skeleton..."

💀 Gu Tang (gruff):

— "Skeleton? Watch your mouth, kid. I am a real skeleton!"

🐺 Ruò Lán (with a bitter chuckle):

— "And still more alive than you, writer."

👤 Liu Shen (confused):

— "Why do you call me that? How do you even know?"

🧥 Heiguo (violet eyes glowing):

— "Because I saw your mind. This world... you built it. But now, you're just a piece on the board."

🔊 [System: Slave Contract Active.]

🔊 [Master Rank: Liu Shen | Bound: Gu Tang, Ruò Lán, Heiguo]

👤 Liu Shen (panicked):

— "What?! I never agreed to any contract!"

🧥 Heiguo (calmly):

— "You were unconscious. We made the call. It was this… or death."

💭 Liu Shen (thinking):

They're using me… but if I created this world, maybe I still have some control…

🔊 [Skill Activated: Mind Reflection]

(His eyes glow faintly. He taps into Ruò Lán's mind.)

💭 "If he's really the writer… he could change our path—or destroy us."

👤 Liu Shen (smirking coldly):

— "So I'm the writer, huh…? But now, I write for me. Not for you. Not for the readers."

🧥 Heiguo (grinning):

— "Let's see how many days you survive, writer."

(The fire fades. Darkness swallows everything. Only heavy

breaths remain.)
