"These are...?" Jin asked when he saw the bodies of the woman scattered around him.
"My children... " Artemis said as she stood up and walked towards the body of a red haired girl.
"I couldn't do anything... While that monster consumed me and murder my children. While I murder them with my own two hands." Artemis said in a sad tone. She then ċȧrėss the cheeks of the red haired girl and said in a sad tone, "I'm back."
Jin looked at the dead bodies and shook his head. He felt pity for Artemis. He stood up and asked, "So, who are you?"
"I am what remains of Artemis..." She started to explain thing to him more clearly.
Jin didn't say anything and he just listen to her.
After she finished explaining things to him, Jin slowly walked towards her while removing his mask.
He arrived in front of her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"I want to join your familia." He said in a serious voice.
"Eh...?" Artemis was quite surprised at his request.
"But... I... "
"Can you do that?" Jin said to her while looking straight into her eyes.
Artemis looked into his eyes before she lowered her gaze. She said, "I could probably do that with the remaining power I have, but... "
"Yosh! Let's do that!" Jin smile happily at her. He then remove his jacket and shirt.
Artemis smile helplessly at him. She then proceeded to bestow him her falna. From now on, Jin was an official member of her familia and the only remaining member.
[You've received 5,000 points and Update system from completing the quest "Join a Familia"]
After that Jin immediately stood up and turned at her.
"I guess it's my turn." Jin said to her with a smile on his face. He then checked the system and immediately bought Summon slot for twenty thousand points.
"What will you do, Orion?" Artemis said to him.
"You should call me Jin from now on." Jin said to her.
Artemis sighed at him. She then lifted up her head and flashed him a bright smile. "Okay, Jin."
Jin smile at her and said into his system, 'System, contract Artemis right now!'
Artemis was startled when she saw a row of words in her vision. She asked Jin, "W-what's this, Jin?"
"It's my power." Jin replied to her.
"Ooh!" Artemis then nodded her head and said, "Sure, I will bind myself to Jin."
Jin then heard the system in his mind.
*ding*
[Preparing the contract... ]

"You are now bind to me. Even if you're a goddess or not you will not be able to escape my grasp." Jin said to her.
Artemis chuckled at his words. She said, "It's seems like that."
"I will find a way to save you." Jin said to her seriously.
Artemis gently shook her head and she pushed the arrow in front of Jin.
Jin grabbed the arrow and look at it. He then looked at Artemis with a questioning gaze.
"There's no time for that. You know that once a god died they also go to the cycle of reincarnation." Artemis said to him with a smile.
Jin just looked at her and didn't say anything. He saw her slowly turned into a white glow of light.
"Don't tell me...?"
"Yeah. It's time already time." Artemis smile at him.
'Is it because she bestow me her falna?' When Jin thought that he felt his heart tightened. His face contorted a show a very sad expression.
"Don't worry are the words you always tell me. Actually I like the feeling when you said those words to me while patting my back. It calms my heart." Artemis said gently to him.
Jin felt a painful feeling in his heart. He press his ċhėst using his hands.
"Don't worry, we will meet again." Artemis said in a soft and gentle tone.
'System, can I revive someone I contracted after I upgraded the system.' Jin asked his system in his mind.
[Host! Need to upgrade the system to version 3.]
[Host shouldn't think of using summoning card in the dead. The system version was too low and it couldn't forcefully summon a soul out of the cycle of reincarnation or else it would damage the soul.]
Jin read the words with a painful expression. Suddenly grabbed put both of her hands onto his cheeks. He lifted up his head and looked at her.
"Smile, Jin. Don't cry, this isn't the end. I'm sure that we will meet again." Artemis said before she disappeared.
Boom!
Then a figure crash at the ground. The entire ground shook due to it's weight. Smoke and dust covered the surrounding.
"There's nothing I could do right now." Jin opened his eyes widely before he gritted his teeth.
Roar!!
Dark green light erupted out of his body and it shook the entire ruins.
