Chapter 5: Taming Barn
Roman inspected the seeds and finally understood what the system meant.

[Divine Beast Feed Seeds] x 50
Description: Seeds that would yield a harvest of universal beast feed. Unlike other types of feed, crops harvested from the seeds would provide the tamer with feed that would, as the name suggests, be universally accepted by all beasts.
Growth Time: 1 month.

[Host is recommended to begin farming process as early as possible in order to prepare for potential beast companions that may enter the realm.]
Roman concurred with the system but decided to fully inspect the other elements of the system first.
The last item provided by the system in the Beginner's Package was the sack. Compared to the skill books and Divine Lottery Tickets, the sack looked rather lackluster. It resembled the brown farmer work clothes that his father, Carl, donned on the daily basis to tend to the fields.
As a result, Roman wasn't too enthusiastic at the thought of the sack.
Nonetheless, he approached the sack to inspect it, calling upon the details of the new item.

[Beginner's Incubation Sack]
Description: While outside the system domain, the user may not have the ideal environment to provide eggs with the appropriate conditions to hatching. The holder of the sack may place the egg into the sack to begin the germination process of the egg.
Effects:
1. Automatically provides ideal condition for egg hatching for all beast eggs under Black Gold rank.
2. Reduces time required to hatch egg by 5%.

Roman was still quite puzzled. He wasn't too familiar with the egg hatching process.
This was something that parents would teach their children after the egg hunt, and as a result, Roman hadn't concerned himself with it thus far.
He decided to turn to the system for an answer.
[An egg requires certain conditions to hatch, and the requirements for each egg species vary. Therefore, it is imperative for the egg to be placed in an appropriate environment to ensure a smooth delivery.]
Roman was beginning to grasp the concept.
Parents were charged with the responsibility of showing their children the ropes. Especially for parents in Branch Village, this wasn't too difficult. The reason being that the eggs that their children obtained were usually of farming nature.
Cows, oxen, sheep, goats, chickens, and ducks laid eggs that could be easily placed in either private barns or the community barns which provided simple but adequate conditions for hatching.
The system continued its explanation.
[For example, a fire drake egg would require high levels of flames and heat akin to a volcano's rim. In order to hatch the said egg, the tamer would have to place the egg into the outer rim of the volcano's lava pool and provide additional nutrients and resources for the egg to hatch.]
[Your sack emulates this effect. But since it remains a mere [Beginner's Incubation Sack], the limits of the egg's level is at the gold rank. Any rank above that would require conditions too difficult for the sack to handle.]
Roman had a rough idea on ranks but wasn't too sure after Black Gold rank. From his experience, he had only personally encountered beasts up to silver rank. The ranks followed a certain hierarchy. Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Black Gold.
Above that was beyond his means and the means of the community in which he resided.
Deciding that the sack would be useful, Roman quickly placed it into his inventory in preparation for the Egg Hunt. He figured that he might as well start the incubation process as soon as he got the egg so that he would gain a head start to his journey to becoming a tamer.
Now that the items were out of the way, Roman was once again quizzical about the domain space. He decided to approach the house in front of him.
The front of the house was designed in a typical 17th Century Virginian plantation architectural style. It had a simple patio with a settee, and large wooden double doors up front. The walls were made of red and white brick, which gave it an austere look.
Roman approached the front door when the system involuntarily began.
[This is the Host's tamer headquarters. The Host may rest and recuperate in this house. It is equipped with a kitchen, four bedrooms, a living room, and two restrooms.]
"System, is all this space really necessary?" Roman asked.
Hearing the description of the house, Roman thought it was odd that the space contained a living environment for more than just himself.
[Host is on the trajectory to traveling the world. It is statistically proven that the best adventurers, warriors, and tamers of all generations had a capable and reliable team with him or her. This team would work together with the lead tamer to achieve goals that has never been achieved before.]
[The house has four rooms, for now, to accommodate any potential team members the Host decides to take along his journey. The system will take care of the needs of their beast companions and the team members themselves.]
Roman was beginning to understand more about the taming world. Just like MMORPG games of Earth, people of this world needed a "party" that would stick it through the good times and the bad.
Each member of the team would require a specific skill set that compensated for the flaws of the leader. The type of beast companion that the team members had would also be accounted for and would eventually affect the dynamics and performance of the team as a whole.
Naturally, Roman made a mental note to keep an eye out for people worthy of his trust to take on his future adventures.
Even though Roman didn't have very many friends in the village, he was confident that he was relatively socially sound. He hadn't bothered to form lasting bonds with many of the children in the village not because they picked on him nor because he was socially awkward, but because he knew very early on that he was going to leave the village behind.
This time, even if he was expecting to make new friends, he had to be careful.
The risk of the system being known at this stage was dire. Roman could not afford to let anyone know about it until he gained sufficient strength. As a result, Roman needed to be extremely meticulous about his friends and future team mates.
Roman proceeded into the house and noticed that the kitchen resembled that of 21st Century Earth. Nothing of the sort that would appear in Aeon. The system must had configured the house to match Roman's memories.
Modern Earthly conveniences were still the best, after all. Aeon was a world stuck in the equivalence of Earth's Medieval Europe. It had poor sanitation, no electricity, and almost primitive health care.
In contrast, the home was electric powered with a refrigerator, oven, gas stove, and the works just within the kitchen.
That said, the rest of the house had matching fixtures. Each bathroom had free running water, and even a small area where a jacuzzi lay. However, the wonders of the system designed the jacuzzi to resemble a Japanese Hot Spring. It had gray rock formations all over but ironically had power jets in the pool itself.
Roman predicted that he would be spending quite a bit of time recuperating in the spring after all the long days ahead.
Each bedroom was fashioned to resemble a minimalist design. This allowed the room to stay bright and welcoming, no matter the occupant. The system did a good job trying to accommodate to the tastes of the masses.
After taking a quick tour around the house and checking that the system's description of the place was accurate, Roman then ventured toward the second, much larger building to the side of the house.
Upon arriving at the front of the building, he noticed that the building was made of redwood, and had doors much larger than that of the house. In the front, a large sign read:
Taming Barn.
