Chapter 15 - Yuko

[Congratulations you've acquired your first pet!]

"Eehhh!"

Souta paused his attack and twisted in mid-air before landing on the ground.

"This...?"

He looked at the system prompts that he received. He didn't expect that he would acquire a pet this time. Now that the bear was registered in the system he could see the details of the bear.

Pet/Mount(1/1):

=Red Fur Bear Level 21[♀️]= A powerful bear with blood-red fur that lives deep in the forest. An evolved species of Mountain Bear. Like to eat fruits and honey.

'A level 21, huh?' Souta thought while looking at the interface. It means that this bear just evolved recently.

He actually got himself a pet on his way to the Hebrei Kingdom. He had a plan to level up first before getting his pet in the God's Continent. His pet in the game was a powerful dragon that was sealed a long time ago. She's Hydra, a Nine Headed Hydra. He got that pet when he was doing a quest for Athena back then.

He could let her be but he decided that it's better to have a pet than nothing in his current situation. The system would register those monsters who submit to the players but there's a limit. Only those who have a tamer class have higher limits than the other class.

The limit of a normal player was three while the normal tamer was five. The limit increases as the tamer levels up its class.

Souta shook his head and turned around to face the bear. He looked at the bear who was groaning in pain.

"Is this really my pet...?"

He stepped forward and placed his palm on the head of the bear. He said, "Stay still, it will hurt for a few seconds." He then grabbed the handle of the sword that was stuck in the eye of the bear. He forcefully pulled it out as blood spurted out from the eye of the bear.

[Light Heal]

Souta immediately casted [Light Heal] to stop the bleeding. He once again casted it until the bear stopped groaning in pain.

The bear looked at him with fearful eyes as she lowered her head. She carefully stuck her tongue out and licked his hand.

"From now your name will be Yuko," Souta said as he caressed her red fur.

While caressing her red fur his thoughts were flying. He recalled the pets he had in the game. Those were powerful monsters that could destroy a city. All of them could put up a fight with top players. They could even kill those players in one on one battle.

There's one player whose class was Divine Tamer. That player has a monster ranch of different powerful monsters. That player contacted him and wanted to buy his pets. Unfortunately, he declined as he had a hard time getting those pets. He wouldn't exchange them for anything.

Souta shook his head and gazed into the dim cave. "Let's go!" he exclaimed as he walked forward into the cave.

Yuko lifted up her head and looked at her master. She followed behind as both of them entered the cave.

He stopped exploring the cave because it was too deep. He was exhausted, and the muscles in his legs ached from running nonstop. He left the Undead Sanctuary in the morning, but it's now dark. It took him more than nine hours to get out of the Curse Cemetery.

He leaned his back on the walls and closed his eyes. He quickly fell asleep as both tiredness and exhaustion hit him.

Yuko quietly looked at him. She was still fearful of him because of what he did to her. She slowly moved her huge body and went beside Souta. She kept him warm with her thick fur as she also fell asleep.

Pet/Mount(1/1):

=Yuko Level 21(Red Fur Bear♀️)=

...

Battle Worlds Online was the most popular game, with millions of people playing it. It was a fantasy/futuristic world.

A world with different cultures was all around for the player to explore. Swords, Gun, Magic, Mecha, etc. were inside this game. The players could pick from hundreds of races and jobs to start from.

That's the Battle Worlds Online.

There's a legendary player called Blood in the game. He was called the most powerful player in the Battle Worlds Online. He doesn't have any guild or join any party. His skill combination, precise intuition, and his perfect control over his character skills were all above the other players.

A man in a long black sleeveless coat with silver linings. The front part of his collar was fluttering in the wind on his back. His left arm was clad in silver armor, as was his right arm. He was dressed in gray pants with the same pattern as his coat. He was holding a massive scythe in his hand. The scythe's design is ominous, as there are eyes on the blade of the scythe.

The man jumped down from the top of a tall building and waved the scythe to the huge army in front. Every time he waved his scythe people would die. The souls of the dead went to his earring and the corpses would also disappear. It was the cause of his powerful weapon, the [Flesh Eating Scythe].

He was called the most brutal person as he didn't even let a corpse and soul leave easily. He was standing on the top-ranking ever since the launch of the game. The only thing that limits him was the level cap of each version.

...

Souta opened his eyes and it was already morning.

"A dream..."

He looked around and saw that Yuko was cuddling him. He stood up and patted her.

"Hu" He hasn't fully recovered all of the stamina and mana he lost the day before. The basic rate of health, stamina, and mana recovery was one per hour. It would increase fivefold while sleeping. Sleeping for a few hours would have sufficed if he was still a goblin with low health, stamina, and mana, but it wasn't enough now that he had over a hundred.

It seems that he will stay here in the woods this time.

Souta turned his head as he felt Yuko move. He looked at her as Yuko also looked at him. Yuko stood up and went deep inside the cave. Souta looked at her with a curious gaze. He doesn't know what she intends to do.

After a few moments, Yuko came back and she presented a bunch of fruits in front of him.

"Hmm... You are giving this to me?" Souta looked at the fruits.

Because they have such an impact, these fruits could help him recover his stamina. But there's something that has piqued his interest. He picked up a green fruit with white dots with his hand.

"This is Green Mana Fruit...?" Souta looked at the fruit on his hand. He didn't think that Yuko has this kind of fruit. Oh? She loves fruit as it was written in the description.

Green Mana Fruit was a fruit that could increase a person's mana. Yes, increase, not recover. It means that it could increase his mana pool.

Souta looked at Yuko and said, "Alright, I will take this." He then bit the Green Mana Fruit in his hand.

*Ding*

[Your mana has increased by 20!]

In this world, it was difficult to find a fruit like this one. It was also difficult to cultivate this type of fruit, and only a few people have this skill. Back in the game, even he only ate a few.

Yuko looked at him with a teary eye. She really doesn't want to give him those fruits as it was her treasure. She felt pain as she saw Souta eating the fruits she collected for a long time.

Souta looked at Yuko and said, "You can have the rest."

Yuko tilted her head as she couldn't understand what he was saying.

"You can have the rest," Souta repeated and pushed the fruits to her.

This time, Yuko vaguely understands his words thanks to the master and pet contract in the system. She moved her big hands and grabbed the fruits. She then stood up and went deep in the cave.

Souta guessed that she hid the fruits back. He stretched his body and exited the cave. The sun rays hit his body and he felt warm energy coursing through his body.

"At most, it will take me a month before I arrive in the Hebrei Kingdom."

If he could fly or have that airship of Mechanic Country it would be easy for him. The distance between the Hebrei Kingdom and the Curse Cemetery was large. Without any sort of transportation, it would take him a long time to travel between kingdoms. Actually, there were few villages nearby but he doesn't know their language so it will be hard to communicate.

Only large kingdoms such as Hebrei Kingdom sells the technology of Mechanic Country. He would buy the communicator there first and find a way to learn the other spell. He wouldn't be able to receive a quest if he couldn't understand their language.

He would also know what version if he went there and gathered some news about the powerful countries.
