Ultimate Firepower - Chapter 587 - 563: Everyone in Place

Logan ends up in a world of familiars, where everyone can make a contract with a familiar to get super power and grow stronger.The first familiar Logan summons is a legendary angel, and it draws a lot of shock and envy.But fate messes with him, because right when Logan is about to make a contract with the angel, the angel looks down on his plain background.“Someone as noble as me—how can I be driven by a low-born bloodline?”After that, she goes over to the noble-born school beauty, leaving the whole crowd full of sneers.Right then, Logan awakens a system, and he can see all a familiar's hidden info and evolve their bloodlines, talents, and skills without limit.“Since it won't listen, I'll switch it out, the next one will be more obedient!”With everyone laughing at him, he just made a contract with a low-level succubus.“A low-level succubus? Once this kind of familiar gets off the bed, its fighting power isn't even as good as a hyena!”“A loser with a succubus—this kid will never have to worry about women anymore, haha!”...Many years later.When demon fire lights up the stars and blood-red wings cover the sky, people finally realize—standing behind Logan are all those ancient, scary beings from myths and legends.

Broken-hearted and drunk, Yoshida, a 26-years old salaryman, stumbled upon a runaway-from-home high-schooler on his way back from the bar.

“Hey, you. JK.”*

“What the heck are you doing out here. Go home already.”

“Uncle, let me stay at your place for the night.”

“You can do ‘that’ to me if you let me stay.”

“If you meant that as a joke, it’s not funny.”

“I’m not joking. It’s fine by me.”

“Then allow me to tell you that I have no interest in brats.”

“Hmm?”

“Then, just let me stay.”

Notes:

[*] JK is slang for Joushikousei (high school girl)

Bruno Hornes' parents disappeared in a strange way, leaving behind a weird contract.He can trade anything with it...Money, talent, Insight, even identity and fate.So Bruno sells wealth to the poor, buys their health, then sells the health to the sick, buys their Insight.He keeps the Insight for himself, and he doesn't care about the rest.Bruno buys the skills of hundreds of knights, and becomes a powerful person.He trades with a trapped god for freedom, buys his loyalty...He works hard, but it's too slow.He needs a secret group, a middleman.He can help others trade anything, just by taking a little bit.Over time, at the crossroads where the shadow moon hangs low, members never say his name.They only call him “the Covenant Weaver” or “the Scale Lord.”When both sides wanted the same thing, he would appear. Sometimes he was a graceful gentleman with a golden cane. Sometimes he was a crow with one eye glowing golden. Most of the time, he sat on a throne that reached a million meters high...
