Chapter 1831 Kimat’s Past

Kimat opened his eyes and saw a very familiar place which is the place where a lot of his kind are present. He was in a cage and was picked by an adventurer just like his master now, but this master was not friendly. The first master that picked him only showed some form of compassion when Kimat manages to defeat monsters.

He also does not have any bonding time despite Kimat circling around his feet and cuddling it. All Kimat received was a kick on the body, but he tolerated it as his master might warm up to him eventually. Kimat was a normal monster cat back then and was mostly using physical attacks to deal damage.

When Kimat became somewhat of an adolescent monster cat, he thought that his first master would be happy that he was growing well but he was not. The first master that he had was always grumpy and mad that the other soulbounds were not performing well. Kimat performed rather well but his good performance was not enough to please the first master.

Kimat would try to win his first master's affection, but he ultimately failed which is why he stopped trying after a while. When Kimat no longer looked at his first master with rose tinted lens, the bad behavior that his first master was showing came to light on his very eyes. The other soulbounds would be whipped when they fail while he just gets fed even if he does exemplary work.

In the end, Kimat decided that he no longer wants to serve this master. He broke the contract forcefully which resulted in him and his master receiving backlash. Only a soulbound that has the same power as its master can destroy the contract forcefully which separates the connected soul of the two. Kimat lost half of his accumulated power (which is his levels) and his master was severely weakened for three months by losing a few levels.

Kimat did not care what happened to him, but he immediately ran towards the forest to disappear. His former master tried to hunt him down and kill him as he is now regarded as a monster. Fortunately for Kimat, the other soulbounds also made noise and raised their resentments which weakened his former master even more.

Some of the soulbounds were able to break the contract and his former master was left with just the weak soulbounds under his care. As soon as Kimat knew that he is no longer being pursued, he became a renegade and wandered around. This is the case for all soulbounds that get released or escape the contract.

Since Kimat lost his original name, he was no longer a named monster as soulbounds are considered as named monsters after all. Kimat did not fret his original name as he forgot it as soon as he destroyed the contract. Rejecting the name and erasing it from your very soul is the way to escape from a summoner contract after all.

This was taught to them by the shopkeeper that kept them in his pet shop. He did not know why the shopkeeper taught them this, but this was engraved into their minds. It seems that the shopkeeper has some sort of sympathy for them despite giving them away to adventurers.

Kimat could be seen sleeping so deeply that even Adrian's pinching of his ears does not elicit a reaction. Kimat hates getting his ears pinched which means that this sleep is not normal. Adrian suddenly feared that Kimat might not wake up as this was a very low chance of happening which the Vermillion Bird has warned him about.

"Call for him with all your emotions." The voice of the Vermillion Bird stated which resounded inside of Adrian's mind.

Adrian started to call Kimat with different types of emotions. He called him with great love and affection then great sadness and fear. He even became angry just so that he has a full spectrum of emotions to cover all of the bases. Despite Adrian's calls, Kimat did not wake up easily as if he was drifting in the land of dreams forever.

Deep Lethargy is the status of a monster that is trapped in a dream world that it has created because of sudden trauma. Adrian does not want to believe that Kimat is experiencing something like this as this would render him incapable of living. Monsters that have this status die without even knowing that they have died.

"Kimat! If you do not wake up, then I will make Sirius discipline you thoroughly!" Adrian shouted in fear and frustration.

As if responding to the name of his would be being to discipline him, Kimat's ears suddenly twitched as if he feared something. Adrian was able to catch this and called Sirius to come over. He then proceeded to tell Sirius that he is giving him permission to punish Kimat if he was being a bad cat.

Kimat started to toss and tumble as if he was having a nightmare. This reaction made Adrian smile as he now found a way to wake Kimat up. Adrian then told his other soulbounds to come near Kimat and whisper in his ear. He told them to say the things that they will do to Kimat if he does not wake up.

As if the other soulbounds enjoyed this, they suddenly started to form a line with the youngest one first. Wisteria whispered something but all she got was a snort. Dodu did not even whisper anything and just slapped Kimat. Dodu must have heard wrong which is why it went for the slap. Charon was next and whispered something in an eerie tone which made Kimat's fur tremble.

Saena followed and the reaction she got was a sudden jolt from Kimat. Kanlaon tried but it seems that he was too kind in nature as he did not get any reaction. It was Sirius that whispered something that made Kimat suddenly jump up and roar out loud.

"Kimat! You are awake! Thank goodness." Adrian shouted as he hugged him.
