《The World Of Beasts》 Legendary rat!? A wolf that had red fur and glowing green eyes confronted me. This is going to be the one I thought I pulled out a red crystal that had blue runes going down the sides it was called the ¡°masters crystal.¡± After seeing the masters crystal the wolf had fear in it¡¯s eyes it was backing away slowly growling at me furiously I knew this was my chance I threw a brown net at the wolf the wolf quickly dodged to the side barely missing the net. I already had prepared for this so I threw out the master¡¯s crystal as faster as possible the wolf moved in the second throwing out a little rat the crystal hit the rat and, exploded a blinding light spread around. I bitterly smiled I seemed to have caught a normal rat with a legendary crystal I really do have rotten luck I sighed in my heart. I quickly pulled out a matching crystal and, threw it as far as I could into the forest. Damn wolf played me for a fool! I promise you as long as I live I will hunt you down and, kill you I said, furiously. ¡°Hey Lee did you catch anything?¡± Ignored him he was the headmaster¡¯s son so I couldn¡¯t do anything to him any way. The headmaster¡¯s son named Mando had all sorts of bad rumours about him floating around the school but, no one dared saything to his face. I will give that kid a good smacking in the face one of these day¡¯s I thought venomously. I returned home to a small shack in a small village I stood in front of the door hesitating my parents would be very disappointed that I didn¡¯t catch anything with the crystal.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. Well I did catch a rat but, that doesn¡¯t really count it looked like any normal ¡°wild beast.¡± The door opened I was startled as my mom came walking out carrying a bucket of water. ¡°Hey mom I said weakly.¡± Did you catch anything in the forest my mom asked, with eager eyes. No,no nothing yet I responded quickly. ¡°Oh well here get some water from the river and, bring it back will you?¡± Yes of course I responded. I took the bucket heading toward the west river with a frown on my face I need to get a master¡¯s crystal on my own this time I can¡¯t rely on my parents this time! I walked into the forest the trees were all 30 yards high. The forest was huge I even heard some people in the academy that the other side of the forest was in the Baruth Empire! Snap, snap who''s there I asked startled I looked around and, there was no one to be seen only massive towering trees I kept going knowing it was probably only a small animal. Hmm? I heard little feet hitting the ground behind me it seemed there was a small animal following me I stopped walking. And saw the small rat that I had captured before with the master¡¯s crystal. The master¡¯s crystal was a pair you throw one it breaks and, captures the creature. The creature is transported into another crystal which is why they are so expensive because they deal with space laws. How did you get out of the crystal I mumbled to myself scared could it be a legendary saint beast and, that''s why it couldn¡¯t get captured!? Even though I had already thrown the crystal I hadn¡¯t released him from it which means he used a force means to break through the binding of the crystal! The rat like creature walked up to me I was scared it wanted to kill me because I dared capture it. The tiny rat walked up to me then fell over. What happened I reached down and, felt for a heartbeat. Thump, thump. The creature was still breathing and, its heart was beating it was obviously alive could I capture it while its weakened I questioned but, soon put the thought away after all it had even broken through the constraints of the master¡¯s crystal! Spiritual Beast Contract! I walked home, with a heavy heart I bought the rat with me I couldn¡¯t just leave the little thing there. I got home then went to sleep after all I had a long day as I woke up I felt something furry on my chest could it be the rat? Don¡¯t call me rat I am not some sneaky pest a cheerful voice sounded in my head. I stared dumbly at the ¡°creature¡± Who are and, why are you speaking in my head! ¡°I don¡¯t have a name my parents left me in the forest when I was young as for why I can speak in your head it¡¯s all your fault you know!?¡± How is it my fault I didn¡¯t do anything or even allow you to speak in my head I roared. The ¡°creature¡± sneered at me ¡°you activated the Spiritual Beast Contract without even knowing what it is how funny!¡± This situation is absolutely not funny what the heck is a ¡°Spiritual Beast Contract¡± anyway? Its when both parties inject spiritual sense into each other it can only be done once in a person''s lifetime most humans don¡¯t know about it because a beast will never perform a contract of this nature with a bloody human! Then why did you perform the contract with me then huh!? I had no choice you hurtled your spiritual sense into that ¡°ball¡± of yours and threw it at me when I was in a slumbering state my instinct kicked in so I sent out my own spiritual sense! ¡°I never sent out any spiritu-¡±A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. "honey I am coming in." Mom walked in I immediately stuffed the rat into bag so mom wouldn¡¯t freak out about ¡°pests¡± in my room. ¡°You have to go to the academy in one hour you better get ready.¡± The academy was named Beast Academy it was made by 50 villages putting in their blood and, sweat most villages didn¡¯t have a academy even if it wasn¡¯t a ¡°grand academy¡± it was better than having nothing like some other villages. When I reached the entrance to the school there were already some people there including the headmaster''s son Mando. ¡°Hey look who decided to show up it''s the chicken Lee!¡± This was going to far I might ignore it if he said, it to me in private but, he was announcing to the whole academy I was a coward if I didn¡¯t do something other people may even think he¡¯s right! I sneered says the person who only relies on his ¡°daddy¡± to clean up all of his messes Mando face went red ¡°you dare speak against me do you think I won¡¯t kill you!?¡± Relying on your own ability you couldn¡¯t touch me! I know I took it a little far but, I couldn¡¯t stand it any longer I walked passed him ignoring him and, his friends walking into the school. ¡°Wow you really are mixed up in this so-called ¡°school drama.¡± A lazy voice drifted in my head. Shut up! Oh yeah I forgot to ask your name I spoke to the ¡°creature¡± in my head ¡°humph I don¡¯t have one a soft voice sounded in my head.¡± How could that be even creatures have names don¡¯t they!? I ¡°have never seen my parent other than in a memory shard they left me but, they didn¡¯t tell me my name.¡± Hmm.. then I will call you Drake! ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem to bad I will go with this for now oh and, remember not to die because if you die so do I and, the other way around!¡± Wait so if you die I will also? ¡°Yep it seems we''re are going to be stuck together for a long time!¡± York City The mission board was some what empty the rewards for completing the missions were great way to train because most, missions in the academy were about killing beasts or, some people try to capture them even. This was very popular finding monsters by looking around in the forest doesn¡¯t work unless you go very deep in and, the monster there were too dangerous. ¡°Pick, that mission there hurry!¡± I looked over too see a old piece of parchment. The parchment read Mission Summary:: Catch the walking chest that is on the Haunted Island. Meet with the patron of the Mission before starting the mission. Mission rank [unknown] Mission Reward 1 gold coin Hmm¡­? ¡°Why did you want me too take this mission!?¡± ¡°This has to be the legendary chest monster the mimic!¡± ¡°I thought you lived your whole life in the forest how do you know about this so called legendary chest monster?¡± ¡°I was born with these memorys I have all sorts information about Beast¡¯s martial arts, Beast Cultivation, and, on all sorts of misanellous items.¡± ¡°Thats useful do you have any techniques for humans I asked, hopefully.¡± ¡°You greedy human¡¯s this is one of the reasons we don¡¯t like to have contracts with you people!¡± ¡°So what¡¯s special about this chest monster?¡± ¡°The chest monster looks like a chest with arms, and legs plus they harbor natural treasure which are magicial fruit that can help ones cultivation increase or some can even improve your cultivation aptitude these fruits are the most saught after treasures in the world!¡± ¡°Lets get going then my eyes shined green with greed The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.my cultivation aptitude was pitifully low if I can increase it hehe.¡± I took the mission to the disciple in charge of the mission to accept the mission. Seeing the excited look on my face he was filled with curiosity towards the mission I picked when he saw it his expression drastically changed ¡°are you sure you want this mission.¡± ¡°Of course why not, I asked guessing that there was some reason why no one had picked this mission before me.¡± ¡° Don¡¯t regret it later he smirked.¡± There is definity something strange going here I frowned but, before I could say, anything he stamped the paper with the seal meaning I had to take the mission even if I ¡°regreted it later.¡± I left the mission house upset at the discples atitude horses were actually cheap now a days compared to 50 years ago due to a mad scientist I have heard many people talk about this mad scientist apprantly he made all the powers in the whole state of Madagascar his enemies I was very interested about this but, no one would answer my questions about it so there was nothing I could do. I took a black horse riding at high speeds towards the bay city named York City it was a famous city because the statue that was said, was sent from god warded off all beasts not, even captured beast could get in the city they would drop dead if you forced them all beast captured by magicial orbs could go into the city if you left they in the orbs. As we were getting close to the city ¡°Drake you have to go back to the forest wait for me there.¡± We could sense each other if we were close so I wasn¡¯t worried about him getting lost in the forest. ¡°Humph, no need I will go inside of your dantain!¡± Ahh a burning sensation akin to eating a bucket full of ghost peppers filles my stomache ¡°What did you do I screamed in a furious tone at the little fur ball.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t even take any pain?¡± ¡°Damn you make it stop I beg you!¡± ¡°It¡¯ll go away in a second just wait you baby¡± As I could feel the pain diminshing I stop my out bursts but, I still glared at Drake with a piercing gaze. ¡°What was that for I asked, feeling wronged.¡± ¡°You should thank me not yell at me I increased the size of your dantain now you will have a edge against anyone the same level as you!¡± ¡°At least warn me next time please I softened my gaze quiet a bit I could feel my dantain was larger then before.¡± I am at the collecting energy stage also known as the qi condenstation stage, this stage was about collecting heaven¡¯s enegry and, increasing the dantain size. The collecting energy stage was divided into nine parts. I was at the third stage but, because of Drake I had reached the fifth stage in terms of dantain size after a few weeks of collecting energy I will at the fifth stage! ¡°Ahh? I could feel something moving in my dantain when I took a look I was dumb founded Darek was swimming in my dantain as if it were a swimming pool!¡± The Haunted Island York City, was a open city you could come in and, out as you want this was mostly because the statue that kept away all wild magical beasts. The city was huge with lots of houses all over in fact dad wanted to move here before but, mom rejected the idea. Crime was very big with a population of over 100,000 people and, no walls of course it was very hard to get out and, in the city because of the sentry towers mostly there to prevent smuggling. I went to the address given by the mission disciple A shabby looking house with a fishy smell coming from the empty boxes stacked in front of their houses. ¡°Thats a lot of boxes for fish I thought to Drake I found that I could directly talk into his mind.¡± ¡°That is a lot of boxes but, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s too much when you are a fisherman.¡± ¡°Do you need a tour around the city sir?¡± A thin young man his age was maybe He was around the same age as me 14 years old maybe he was one of those beggars I have heard of from mom. ¡°I have no need for a tour at this moment.¡± ¡°Could it be you''re going to old John¡¯s house he said pointing toward the house that had stacks of crates?¡± ¡°Yes that right is there something wrong?¡± ¡°No sir nothing''s wrong¡± he said while trembling he quickly ran around a corner and, disappeared. That was odd there is definitely something wrong here a stocky old man came stumbling out of the shabby house.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. ¡°What¡¯s all this ruckus going on here?¡± ¡°No, need to glare at me are you Mr, Jones?¡± ¡°How do you know my name he squinted at me I have never seen you before.¡± ¡°I have accepted the request you sent my academy.¡± ¡°Finally I sent a request to every academy in 300 miles yet no had accepted my request for almost 3 years you people in academies are so cocky I want to go hit you all with my wooden paddle!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think there''s a need for that I said, anxiously he was holding a big black boat handle and, I had no intention of hitting hit black, and blue!¡± ¡°Humph come inside he spoke with a husky ascent we can go over the details.¡± I followed him inside I was used to small houses so, that wasn¡¯t a problem but, it smelled like rotten fish. I looked around soon a item I saw shocked me a painting of a fisherman sitting in a peaceful boat riding down the ocean. Where did you get that painting I looked shocked at Mr, Jones like my soul was going to burst into pieces! ¡°That painting is a replica of the famous magic fisherman the original painting was made by the famous court painter Mr, Alexander I heard he doesn¡¯t have a name.¡± After hearing this my eyes turned serious I knew this painting even better than Mr, Alexander after all it was the cause of my family''s downfall.¡± ¡°That painting must have been expensive I smiled acting as if nothing happened.¡± ¡°Yes, it was a fortune anyway back to the mission I want you to catch that mischievous rascal alive so I can get answer¡¯s out of him the old fisherman said, while his eyes were going read.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry you can keep the chest monster alive even after taking the natural treasure.¡± I sighed in relief I thought that if I I captured the chest monster I wouldn¡¯t get the treasure unless I killed it. ¡°This boat is so annoying!¡± ¡°You''re supposed to row inverted¡± ¡°Shut up I was in the mood to listen to a voice of reason.¡± After circling the island 10 times we finally reached the island it was a small island only 10 miles long with giant pinecone trees. ¡°Huff,huff rowing a boat is so hard!¡± ¡°Lee if you listen to me even only a little bit it would have taken half as long you need to change your attitude if you want to became a good cultivator!¡± I turned around ignoring his advice going straight for the center of the island. ¡°Watch out! Drake, yelled.¡± A giant turtle with white specks covering its shell was running at me faster than a fox ¡°Who the hell told me turtles are slow!¡± The Haunted Island part 2 The speedy turtle came flying at me like a bullet. I turn around jumping into my boat for cover ducking under the sides of the boat waiting for impact¡­ There was no impact huh what is going on? ¡°Stop being a idiot and, come out from under there the turtle seems to be guarding the island so if you stay on the boat you''re fine.¡± ¡°How am I supposed to get the natural treasure if I stay on the boat.¡± ¡°Greedy human calm down and, think the chest monster is even stronger then the turtle so if you can¡¯t even beat the turtle how are you going to take down the chest monster!¡± ¡°Urgh you should¡¯ve told me that before we came to the so I could train.¡± ¡°Humph even if you train for 5 years with your current aptitude you would only became a level 7 qi condensation only on par with the chest monster.¡± ¡°Then what should I do I can¡¯t wait for 5 whole years!¡± ¡°Who said you would be doing anything let me get that treasure for you if you too weak and die I die too!¡±Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. ¡°How strong are you!?¡± ¡°I have reached the peak of the qi condensation!¡± ¡°How old are you in human years only the two vice-head masters have reached the peak of qi condensation.¡± ¡°You think I can be compared to those old men I am only 12 years old.¡± I could tell from his tone he probably wasn¡¯t lying a 12 year old even if it were a beast reaching peak qi condensation was definity only done in myths and, legends. Drake came, out of my dantain seeing my face he scoffed. ¡°Even though my cultivation can be called not bad, there are some humans with even faster speeds then me!¡± ¡°Impossible I have never heard of this even from my dad.¡± ¡°You live in this small ant hill size place and, feel you know everything?¡± He jumped off the boat and, with shocking speeds even higher than that turtle the turtle realized it was in trouble so it hid inside it¡¯s shell. Drake landed on the shell with a boom* the shell shattered into pieces. I stood there dazed even the vice-headmasters of my academy could not dispatch the turtle so fast. ¡°Do you think I can catch up to you in cultivation I asked, relevantly¡± ¡°Not unless you begin a sea of blood and, force yourself to become stronger through many battles and, treasures if you take this path the rate of survival will be less than one in a millionth chance to live and, became strong!¡± ¡°I will do it my eyes gleamed I will became the over lord of this universe!¡±
