《Obey Me! I am the Master!》CHAPTER 15.5 - PACT MARKS
Advertisement
General info on Minoru's pact marks:
1. Pact marks look like tattoos on the skin. However, when Minoru touches them with care, the brothers become extremely happy, although some of them keep composure if they are in public (Ex: Lucifer)
2. All pact marks are black in color, with the exception of the pact mark with Mammon.
3. The pact marks are always visible to Minoru and the brothers, although the brothers can hide them from the eyes of normal people and lesser demons. People with high spiritual power can still see the pact marks, despite the invisibility spell.
4. All pacts bring benefits and downsizes. The downsizes involve the respective sins of the brothers. The practice of Seven Virtues can lessen the effect of the downsizes.
Ex: practice of Humility can lessen the prideful thoughts and behaviors brought by the pact with Lucifer.
5. When Minoru calls upon or summon the brothers, the marks emanate light in respective sins' colors. However, if the situation is dire and the brothers have to use more of their powers, the marks emanate fire in respective sins' colors, instead of light. The fire doesn't burn or harm Minoru but makes his skin a little bit red. However, the fire does burn anyone else who dares to touch the marks.
Ex: Pact mark with Lucifer emanate blue light and blue fire.
6. If anyone dares to stare too long at the "tattoos", they will see the brothers' eyes looking back at them, sending them a chill up their spine.
7. Once a pact mark is marked on the skin, it can't be moved elsewhere
Ex: If a pact mark is on the right arm, it stays there permanently and neither the demon nor the human can move it elsewhere on the body.
Minoru's pact marks with each brother: (the order follows the order of making pact in ss1 of the game)
MAMMON
- The only pact mark that is white in color, instead of black.
- Location: on Minoru's inner upper left arm. At the time of the making the pact, Mammon wasn't happy about making a pact with a puny human so he chose to place it in a hard-to-see place on Minoru's body, a decision which he came to regret later, but nothing could be change.
- The pact emanates yellow light whenever Minoru sees something valuable, such as money, pearl necklaces, ancient artifacts, etc.
- When Minoru caresses the mark, Mammon feels extreme happiness and his face shows it, though he denies if his brothers point it out.

- It's still debatable whether Mammon gets luckier when Minoru caresses the mark or not.

Practice of Charity or Generosity lessens the downsizes.
LEVIATHAN
- Location: on Minoru's right calf. Originally, same reason with Mammon's. But Levi got better ending, since at least he gets to feel the mark when his leg intertwine with Minoru when they are playing games.

Inferiority complex (can be lessened by Pride from Lucifer's pact)
Gaming and anime addiction
Minoru is tempted to shut himself inside his room.
If Minoru sees someone else has something he doesn't have, he becomes very envious (Greed from Mammon's pact will add the desire to possess that thing and temptation to steal).

Minoru's Big Bad Chūnibyō becomes worse.
Practice of Kindness lessens the downsizes.
BEELZEBUB
- Location: on Minoru's back. Beel actually does not enjoy being all gluttonous, as it makes him sad with hunger all the time and it's the source of misery for him and his brothers many times. Which was why Beel placed the mark far from the belly.

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.

Magriculture
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is, at best, a very rough draft. I have already had to do one major rewrite and several minor rewrites of entire sections of the story, and it is a virtual certainty I will have to do re-writes again. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will.Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If your looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.
