Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 245 - Pet Hunting

A new nickname is a fresh take for me after playing for so long. I am now no longer trying to hide my abilities as they are proof that I am strong enough to compete with others. If I am still afraid to show myself to others, forget about competing in the Arena, I doubt I would also do the Solo Guild War too.

Right now, I am inside my mansion in Tokyo. As much as I wanted to spend time with my parents, the school reopening is almost here and despite already knowing every thing the school will be doing and going to teach, I can't just skip it as I rewinded the time. I already said my goodbye to my parents, however, they are not too worried about me and they also said that they can just go and find me in the game if they wanted to ask me something.

As for the teddy bear guy, he nodded only and gave me a thumbs up before going back to the Cabin. I was a bit surprised at first since he is now playing the game more than doing some work out which is a bit weird. Did I influence this ghost to do something different?

When I was about to leave, everyone went back to the game so no one bid farewell to me. Due to that, I decided to use the shortcut and used the teleporter I built and returned to Tokyo in a blink of an eye.

But when I arrive in my mansion in Tokyo, everyone are playing and no one is there to welcome my arrival.. As for Pandora and her brother, they left a note that they will not be there for the rest of the week since they needed to have Pandora do a bit of rehabilitation session for her to be able to walk. They will be back next week. So right now, I am here, laying on my sofa while doing nothing.

"Ugh, I should get back in the game for the time being. I don't have anything to do here in the real world and everyone seems busy."

Without anything much to do, I decided to grind in the game so that I can at least bring my level closer to the next level. Even though I reached the level limit after killing the "The First Commandment", EXP will still be earned and can be stored temporarily until I get to the point of my class up and extending the level limit. As for getting a class up, it was easy so I am just waiting for the time when the Arena Competition is done. It would be unfair to other players that I already got a class up while they still don't have that. It will be a huge disadvantage for them.

Returning to my room, I log back to the game.

[Welcome Back, Bladeheart]

Once I spawned, I decided to go to Sandurk since the enemies are much higher leveled compared in Resurgia. Although there are some monsters in Resurgia that are high leveled, they are not as rewarding as the enemies in Sandurk and the Sandurk bosses has more chances of dropping rare gears.

"Master, when are you going to go and catch some fluffy creatures? It is a bit good to have Leona here but she is not enough as a pet and she is a bit big. I can't talk much with Atlas either since his hands is full due to the angel hybrid here too. Can you at least catch another pet? I can also detect inside your inventory but it seems you are not doing anything to it," Lucia said with a bored hint on her voice.

"You liked to have pets? I thought the demon kind doesn't need one?"

"Maybe the current demons right now. However, I am different and I liked to have pets. Last time I have a dog and a bat as pets. However, after the events that leads to my deep coma, I didn't know where they are now."

"Well, I can go look for a few suitable candidates. Also, are you saying you can detect this egg?" I asked Lucia and pulled out the [Jeweled Insect Egg].

"Yeah, that one! It is quite giving quite a presence in your inventory so I am wondering why you don't seem to be paying attention to it."

"No, I am not paying attention to it at the moment because I have no idea how to actually hatch this thing out. It doesn't say anything on its description either."

[Jeweled Insect Egg]

Item/ Hatchable

Info: No known info. Will unlock if requirements are met.

Notes: Nope, I don't have anything to say either if I don't know what the hell this is.

Even the notes that sometimes gives out some hints has no useful remarks to give.

"So yeah, I am not purposefully ignoring this thing, I just don't have any idea of how to hatch it. I also didn't do the traditional egg hunting method too since I am not sure if that will work or if this will break the item, after all, most eggs has different ways to hatch and if I use the wrong one, there is a chance the egg won't hatch instead."

"Huh, so that is the reason why it is just stuck on your inventory. And here I thought you are planning to sell this one."

"No, I don't want to sell anything like this. Also, I got this one, why would I sell something that is potentially useful in the future?"

"But what does it mean of its requirements? Are there any particular thing you need to do before it has the chance to hatch or reveal its info?" Lucia asked.

"I have no idea. I only got it from the Poison Spider Queen."

"Huh, maybe this egg needed to be exposed to the inhabitants of the Insect Kingdom?"

The Insect Kingdom, it is one of the faction in Aquagius Continent, they are a kingdom composed of the insect creatures and some are even capable of transforming into a half human half insect. Although the continent is mostly pure water and is being ruled by sirens and other aquatic factions, that doesn't mean there are no land in this continent. The Insect Kingdom is considered as the only place where humans can go if they wanted to interact with some inhabitants living in the sea.

Anyways, that place will be unlocked a bit later. I don't know when but I guess it is going to be sooner.

"There is a chance indeed that this one will have connection to those guys but I am not sure."

Thanks to Lucia, I found a way to not get bored in grinding, and that is to find a suitable candidate I will tame.

Since I went to Sandurk, there are many reptiles here that are present. But they are not something I am looking to tame at the moment. I have a particular one I wanted to tame. With Leona, I fly over Sandurk's desert to find a monster I have seen before that is pretty famous for being a fluffy one and a good guard and a very strong offensive pet if tamed. I have seen plenty of druid and some players who used the [Chain of Taming] flex this creature.

"Let's land here, Leona."

Leona slowly descended from the sky and landed a few meters away from a pack of creatures huddled around together under a shade from a tree. How did the desert have a few trees? It's because the place we are right now is in the Oasis located in the center of Sandurk, the Basin of the Sand.

"What are we going to catch here Master? You seemed to have an idea what we are going to hunt here."

"Yeah, I have an idea what I am going to catch."

I check the pack not too far from our location. I counted 6 mobs and one elite monster. My eyes immediately locked through the Elite Monster. Just like how I have seen these guys in the past, this creature here is a fluffy one and not only fluffy but also deadly. The Dark Desert Wolf.

Pulling out the [Chain of Taming], I am going to catch the Elite Monster. Also, I am going to ensure I will not kill any of the pack mates of the elite monster since it might enrage the creature instead and I will fail the taming process.

"Lucia, Atlas, Leona, I am counting on you guys on holding back the mobs while I deal with the elite monster myself."

"Roger, Master."

"Alright, as you wish Master! And I must say, you have a good taste in taming a creature! It's a fluffy one!"

Readying my [Chain of Taming], I took a step closer to the pack. Since they are pretty sensitive to the sounds of everything in case there are danger around, the scout wolves that are the lackey of the elite monster stood up and immediately let out a low growl sound to scare its oppressors and danger.

"Do we need to injure them Master?" Lucia asked.

"No, please don't kill them or injure them, but please restrain them for a bit that will not be lethal for them. The taming process might fail if any of its subordinates die in the process."

Now that everything is ready, it is time to commence the taming process in which, the procedure is hard and dangerous.
