"Boom!''the sound of thunder crackled the sky. In a lone corner of a park,a young man laid on a bench, his clothes ragged. ''Sigh, I didn't think it would be so hard to become a beast tamer. Now my money is all spent...'' the man sighed.The man knew that becoming a beast tamer was not only time-consuming but also needed money. The man was called Merlin and his parents were dead. His siblings or relative either hated him or were dead. He had long wanted to be dead but his little sister , Wu Long , needed him. If not for her, he would have long committed sucide.
Just then the first rain drops began to fall. Merlin instantly fled helter-shelter. "Time for me to go home." soon he reached his home. It was located in the slums. "Good morning!" Merlin greeted his fellow neighbours. When he reached his home, he hesitated before turning the door knob."Wu Long?"There was no reply. Normally, when when he went home, his little sister would jump up and down for joy to welcome him. But today, there was no sound.
Frowning, Merlin went into the house, and caught a glimpse of a masked man jumping down from the window. He immediately followed suit. Luckily, his house was situated on the second floor. Just as the masked intruder was about to fall to the ground, a flash of lightning erupted and a bird the size of a bus emerged under the masked intruder. With a jolt, Merlin realised that it was a flying beast spirit! Flying beast were extremely rare to come by as they had to endure worse heavenly tribulation than normal spirit beasts of their ranks. Beasts were separated into ten ranks,bronze,silver,gold,purple.
That was all the ranks humanity knew as they had just begun learning about the beast world only recently. Unfortunately, Merlin did not have a flying beast spirit or a mount beast spirit.
With a sinking heart, he could only go back to his apartment...
When Merlin got back to his apartment, he laid down on the bedsheets and cried till morning.
Despair loomed over his heart.
