The Divine Covenant
Chapter 1
This pact, as long as mutual love exists,
It will not break and will last for eternity.
The God's Contractor
In the beginning, a god sealed a pact with a human woman, defying the opposition of many other gods.
It was not a simple marriage, but a pact of souls, a union that could only be dissolved if it was proven that there was no longer love between them.
The God of Creation, one of the staunchest opponents of the pact, finally relented and offered his blessings. As a gift, he granted the human a special ability.
That gift was: in each reincarnation, after her coming-of-age ceremony, she would regain the memories of her previous life.
God of Creation: “Remember your past life, find your god, and live with him for tens of thousands, hundreds of millions… eternities.”
After those words, the couple lived happily ever after, and many other gods later also made pacts with humans. Being eternal gods, their love remained unchanged.
Thus, these pacts spanned millions and millions of years, and continue to this day—even in 2021.
March 22, 2021.
It's our protagonist's birthday.
After receiving congratulations and lots of gifts from her friends at school, she returns home.
Protagonist (thinking):
"I got out of class early today and I don't have tutoring! Awesome~! I'm going to get home quickly and eat cake!"
Almost there, he bumps into someone who suddenly appears from an alley.
Prota: Oh!
—Oh, I'm so sorry.
The boy picks up the fallen gifts and hands them over. He's wearing a cap, but his big, bright eyes stand out.
"Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?"
His kind voice makes her simply smile and say that it's okay, walking away.
Back home, he receives congratulations from his family again, enjoys a delicious dinner and cake, and then goes for a walk.
The night is still cold. He heads towards a stream, a little way from his house.
There, he sits in his favorite spot, a hidden rock.
She reminisces about the happy day as she plays in the water. Suddenly, she remembers the boy she bumped into.
Protagonist (thinking):
“He was tall… the color of his hair… I couldn’t see it well because of the cap. His eyes… were they blue…? Huh…?”
Remembering the blue gleam in her eyes, a shiver runs through her body. Instantly, the water she was touching freezes.
Protagonist:
“What the hell is this?!”
She tries to pull her hand out, but the ice traps it. Little by little, she calms down and begins to understand what happened.
Protagonist:
“I was thinking about the boy… those blue eyes… the water froze…”
Was it… me?”
“This has nothing to do with me…”
So why did he think about that other world he had always ignored?
And this situation goes beyond what is expected of a normal human being?
I am a person with supernatural powers.
“In the 21st century, with all the advances in science,
the only valid reason to believe in the inexplicable…
It is the existence of the gods.”
“The contractors of the gods, their children and descendants—
They inherit their skills.
That's why we call them people with supernatural powers.”
“But a contractor is different from children and descendants.
To awaken its power…
A condition must be met.”
“And there are two possible conditions…”
Like a fool, she finally remembered what her Special History teacher had said.
She thought it was an absurd story, nothing to do with her.
And now, she's completely entangled.
Person of the day:

Notes of the day (TIM)
The world is like theOurs, but with one big difference:
The gods exist.
People believe it, but not religiously.
If there is a Special History teacher, then of course there is also a Special History subject.
