Capítulo 5: Myriad Devourer
"So, my almighty invincible teacher, what treasures do you have in store for me?" Aezir asked with a devilish grin.
"What treasure? Can't you see that I am only a spirit now? Even if you are about to die, I don't have anything to contribute but my knowledge and wisdom." Khavahk said.
'What!? How did I end up with such a useless teacher! Not even an iota of resources for me!' Aezir cursed in his mind. "Such a shame." is what he chose to respond.
"Do not worry, though; the Eternal Stone has a function where it will show you details of anything you see on the outside world. However, the caveat is that the information you receive is only limited to what we perceive. It is anchored on my knowledge. You don't have to worry about that caveat, though; I am, after all, omniscient." Khavahk bragged.
"Oh, please. I would gamble on 1:1000 odds before I listen to any of your tactical advice." Aezir mocked.
"Brat! Even though I am a spirit outside, I have a material body here. Why don't you try and see if I can choke you to death." Khavahk threatened.
"I am sorry, the great one." Aezir sarcastically apologized
This earned a hard sneer from Khavahk. Even though it seems like Aezir is disrespectful, Khavahk was fully aware that it was all in goodwill. Both of them are just having fun. He was aware that when it comes to heavy kinds of stuff, Aezir would be profound. He actually liked this light relationship between them. He was the chief of their tribe, and his only "friend" was his right-hand man. Even so, they did not have this kind of relationship.
"Teacher, do you have any idea how I can get out of that enclosure?" Politely asked Aezir.
"That little ball of fur that saved you is a Mysterious Beast. Seeing that it favored you, take this chance to bind with it. After that, come back here to strengthen yourself." Khavahk said.
Aezir then left the Mystical Space. He was put back to the exact place he was previously.
"Kyu!?" The little fellow was quite shocked but was quickly elated due to Aezir coming back. It swiftly rushed to where Aezir was and rubbed itself to him.
Aezir's heart could not help but melt upon the sight. However, his feeling quickly turned to shock and joy after he saw the information from the Eternal Stone in his mind.
{Name: Myriad Devourer}
{Age: Unknown (Infancy Stage)}
{Class: Mysterious}
{Tier: Intermediate (Blue)}
{Description: A unique type of beast that grows stronger by eating. It can devour anything. Immune to any kind of poison due to its special stomach.}
{Skills: Not yet discovered}
"Woah!" Aezir was fascinated by the prompt in his mind. 'This is just like systems in novels from Earth.' he thought.
[Sir, what are classes?] Aezir talked to Khavahk in his mind.
[Seriously, what kind of village did you grow up from. Classes are classifications of beasts. They are differentiated into Common, Rare, Unique, Mysterious, and others.]
[Does the class play a factor in their strengths?]
[Absolutely, An Intermediate tier Common class beast is on par with a Rare class Basic tier one. It just gets more ridiculous if you go up the ladder.]
'Seems like I got a gem right here!' Aezir thought in joy. "Little fella, do you want to be bounded to me? Help me reach the stars so that we can look at the world from the skies."
"Kyu?" The furry ball tilted its head in question.
"Bo-u-nd," Aezir slowly uttered.
"Kyu?" It did not help at all.
[Idiot! Even though she is already an Intermediate Beast, it does not mean that she has the understanding of one already. It is still an infant!]
[Okay, genius. How am I supposed to do it then?]
[Moron! Drop your blood on its mouth. If it likes to be bound with you, you will know.] Responded Khavahk. 'Seriously, how did I end up with a student like this.'
[How am I supposed to know! My grandfather said that the beast would acknowledge you, then the contract is formed.] Rebutted Aezir.
[Just how poor is your village to be a subject of beasts, alas.] Khavahk adapted a sad expression. He was not new to this kind of situation since he also started from scratch. [Just drop your blood on its mouth]
Aezir followed the instructions and pricked his finger for the blood. The furry ball's eyes turned bright and ran in a circle showing its happiness. It then jumped to his arm and left a Mark on his right forehand. It looks like a plain circle inside of a larger one from afar, but it is actually a complex set of Runic Engravings when looked closely into.
<Hello, my friend! What is your name?>
The eyes Aezir widened after hearing another voice in his head. [I think I am going crazy.]
[You probably are.] mocked Khavahk.
[I just heard another voice in my head. It seems to come from the furry ball.]
[Of course, it did. When you are bounded to a beast, you will be able to talk to it regardless of language. You will share your knowledge and hearts with each other.]
[How will I reply?]
[Feel it with your mind and heart, then convey your message to it through the Mark.]
<Hi! I am Aezir. How about you?>
<I don't have a name yet, Kya!>
<Do you want me to name you?>
<Kya!> The eyes of the furry ball sparkled once more.
<How about I call you Fluff?>
<Fluff loves it! Kya!> Fluff ran around in circles once more, showing her joy.
<It is nice to meet you, Fluff. I will take care of you to the best of my abilities.> Aezir said while stroking its fluffy fur. He wore a warm smile. He seems to have developed deep feelings for it already.
<Kya! I like papa a lot! I have never seen anyone else before until I felt papa from above. Fluff was happy that you came!> Fluff said with her big warm sparkling eyes looking at Aezir.
'Papa, huh' Aezir could not help but scratch his head. However, he was too engrossed in the moment that he felt that it was not a bad position to have.
[I need to return to the village, but I don't think I can resurface. Furthermore, there is a scary beast in the lake.]
[That is simple enough. Just train.]
[Yes, sir. Let me just play with Fluff first] Aezir stated while rubbing Fluff.
[Come back to the Mystical Space and train!]
"Let us go and train, Fluff. Your demonic uncle is getting angry already." Teased Aezir.
[Bastard!]
"Kyu?"
