I looked around, to see where I was, if anything had changed, but... I couldn't recognise a thing. I was surrounded by trees and thicket, not my village. Like I had been not 10 minutes ago. I was in completely uncharted territory. Just as they said.
My father and my father's father used to speak of situations like this. Situations where people suddenly vanish one day and end up in suspicious locations, only to return far in the future with immense power. We heard it from them themselves. They called it, 'Summoning'. But it's impossible! Such a thing hasn't happened in decades! Centuries even! After the last Great Chieftain died, all magical connection was destroyed!
But if it is true, does this mean it's finally my chance to prove my worth? To prove that I am the strongest Beast Master in my tribe? No... the strongest Beast Master in the whole world! They will have to accept me then. Father, Mother, Brother. All of them.
If that is the case, I must be loyal to Master. He has given me the opportunity for such strength! I will fight by his side, for my own goals and for his, until the very end!
["But who is my Master? I can't see him anywhere?... Don't tell me... it's this young one collapsed on the roadside!"] {Wulfarth}
**********************************************************
Ryan felt nauseous. Extremely nauseous, more so than all of the times prior to this combined. After the white light had descended, he felt an extreme bout of sickness, before passing out completely, unable to deal with it even with his added mental strength.
To top it off, being shook awake definitely didn't help his situation in the slightest. Groggily, he opened his eyes to see a man shaking him awake. Well, man may be getting it confused.
What shook him awake was a creature that looked to be a bipedal wolf, or hyena. Something along those lines. Ryan was surprisingly calm given the situation, being shook awake by a bipedal animal wasn't exactly a daily occurrence for him. But he knew it was thanks to the blessing.
It wasn't until then that he noticed something strange. His hands, they were covered in pitch black fur. As were his arms, and his legs, and his tail. His tail? Humans didn't have tails!
Ryan immediately decided to use the skill that he got from the 'Blessing of the Conqueror', [Appraisal], on himself.

Ryan was shocked. Shocked wasn't enough to describe the sensation. He was completely bewildered. To the point of forgetting to move. Forgetting to breath even. As if to wake him up from his dream like state, the creature in front of him began to shake him even harder, whilst simultaneously crying out.
["Master! Master! Please wake up!"] {Wulfarth}
Ryan slowly slipped back into his fully conscious state with the aid of the blessing and the mysterious stranger. He glanced at the stranger in front of him once more and felt a strange sense of familiarity in him. As if they had been friends for many years, but, he had never seen him before.
Silently, he decided to use appraisal on the stranger.

It all made sense know. This was Wulfarth, his first companion. Checking his status, Ryan was completely satisfied, so much so that the earlier shock had pretty much vanished. He had all the qualities that a specified Beast Master needed and made up for the shortcomings of Ryan.
His high Intelligence and Wisdom made him a good summoner, completed only with the extra skills that aid with he control and summoning of his beasts.
Based on this thought, Ryan pondered further. Could he use [Appraisal] on the individual skills? In most of the novels about transmigration he read, they all could do so with varying success. So, he decided to give it a try on his own skills, to a high degree of success.

Another satisfied look appeared on his face. The satisfaction that comes with the result of the pursuit of knowledge. Answers, put short. Though he didn't just stop there, he appraised some of his other skills too, along with Wulfarth's.

Before he became flustered and overwhelmed by this list of strong skills, he turned his attention to Wulfarth, who was now standing a ways away, before turning to him and speaking in a commanding tone.
