Chapter 2 - The mysterious bead

This mysterious bead is about 3 centimetres in diameter with a faint white glow.

It looked mysterious, glowing in the dark cave with a magical light.

It appeared out of nowhere, as if it had always been there. Nobody would believe that it had suddenly appeared out of thin air.

In excruciating pain, the small pup felt a sudden feeling of warmth in the middle of the cold cave.

It tried to reach out for this warmth, but it could not see anything as it's still too young, it's eyes haven't even opened yet.

As it was slowly feeling colder and colder at every passing second, it started to slowly crawl towards this slight warmth, its only solace in this dark cold cave.

After struggling in pain and suffering just for a hint of warmth, it finally reached its goal.

As soon as it touched the bead, a blinding light suddenly erupted like a dazzling star in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, the bead suddenly turned into a ray of light and entered the pup's head.

The small pup immediately felt a flow of warmth spread through his whole body, from his small head to his tail.

Slowly, the small wolf started to feel that a slight amount of power started to flow within his body.

Thanks to this power, he felt as if his body became stronger little by little to the extent that he no longer felt cold anymore.

Suddenly something popped up in the little wolf's mind out of nowhere.

[ Name: ??? ]

[ Race: Mottled Wolf(degenerated) ]

[ Status: Starving ]

[ Bloodline Status: Degenerated bloodline ]

[ Age: 3 Days ]

[ The current state: Bloodline has degenerated and is incomplete. Sufficient energy is needed for the bloodline to be completed ]

Strange symbols and signs appeared out of nowhere.

The small wolf has no idea how such strange things suddenly appeared in his head, nor does he understand what they mean.

[ Detected that the Sea of Wisdom is still closed. Starting to open the Sea of Wisdom.... ]

Instantly, the small wolf froze up. It felt a cool feeling flowing into its head, as though its mind is full of fog and this cool feeling is rapidly clearing up this fog.

The small wolf felt its thoughts become increasingly clearer and clearer, its mind capable of processing thoughts at an incredible speed.

It felt as though it had been imprisoned in a tiny room with no light or windows, and suddenly this whole room collapsed and everything became incomparably clear.

[ The Sea of Wisdom has been opened ]

The meaning of the symbols abruptly appeared in his mind. Even if he did not learn them, he could still mysteriously understand what they meant.

With its mind opened now, the small wolf can finally understand and process thoughts clearly.

The small wolf tilted its head, and let out a small 'Aoow' in confusion.

[ Name confirmed: Aoow]

The strange symbols appeared out of nowhere again, without any warning whatsoever.

The small wolf, who had unknowingly named himself Aoow, only had a slight understanding of what a name meant after he named himself.

Nevertheless, he did not care at all about this name thing, after all he is still only a small pup that was only 3 days old.

His most important concern right now is that he is still starving.

Even though the small bead seemed to have given him a little bit of power, this little amount of power only helped him become warm and somewhat heal his illnesses.

Nothing more or less, it didn't really change his strength at all. It only made sure that he won't die due to the cold or sickness.

And it also gave him those symbols and signs in his head.

If he doesn't get any food soon he will probably starve to death.

And even if he was able to hold on, he will most likely just return to his earlier state.

But since he is still only able to crawl at most and he has not even opened his eyes yet, all he could do is wait for his mother to come back.

Not even two seconds had passed and the sound of footsteps could be heard outside of the cave.

It seems that his mother has come back from her hunt, and unexpectedly, it could be seen that she had caught a small lizard on her way back to the cave.

After entering the cave the mother immediately went to check on her child. When she found out that everything is still fine, she was finally able to relax.

She hurriedly laid down next to her child so that he can drink some milk.

Feeling his mother near him, Aoow immediately became excited and tried crawled next to her, in hopes that he can get some milk.

Sucking, he instantly became invigorated upon tasting the warm milk in his mouth. He immediately began to desperately suck with all of his strength.

His mother was gently watching over him as he drank her milk.

Eventually, the milk started to run out. Upon drinking the last drop of milk, Aoow finally felt somewhat satiated.

Due to feeling somewhat full after so long, Aoow started to get drowsy.

[ Energy source has been consumed. Beginning the bloodline's reparation process ]

[ Bloodline Status: Degenerated ]

[ Energy is being used for the reparation process. Reparation in progress.... ]

[ Reparation progress: 0.2%, 0.45%, 0.6%...]

A warm feeling started to spread across Aoow's whole body. It felt extremely comfortable, as if soaking in warm water.

This power seemed to be filling in the deficiencies that are in his bloodline.

Fixing and filling the missing parts that are absent from his bloodline.

Slowly, Aoow felt this gentle power strengthening him little by little.

His blood started flowing a bit faster and his strength kept on steadily increasing, causing him to be at his best state since his birth.

Finally, this feeling ceased after a short while.

[ Reparation progress: 3% ]

With his Sea of Wisedom already opened, Aoow slightly understood what happened after the process finally stopped.

It seemed that the milk de drank was considered a source of energy, and that he needed more energy to complete this bloodline reparation process.

Feeling the invigorating flow of power running through his body, Aoow understood that the more food he consumed the stronger he becomes.

With that in mind, Aoow can't wait to drink more milk so that he can feel that feeling of power again.

Unfortunately, there is no more milk for him to do that.

Drowsy, Aoow finally fell asleep after satiating his hunger.
