Raliz was ready to jump in the water if ever some creature came out and attack her.
And then, something really came out. It was a Red Deer. Its antlers were like red stones. It has a shape of a deer but its size was much bulkier and larger.
Raliz was curious if this is really a deer. She was about to use [Inspect] when the ground shook madly. The trees bented down and lots and lots of Red Deers came out.
They jumped so high, higher than an ordinary Deer could do.
Raliz was surprised, there was a herd coming her way. If the trees were just bented down by them, their strength might be really scary.
Raliz tried to get away from their tracks.
Sudden ripples started to appear beside the lake.
A huge maw came out and attack one of the Red Deer near the lake's shore.
Raliz's face lost its color. She was about to jump in. She would be dead by now if she hadn't seen that.
She turned away from the shore and went to a much larger tree that looks like an Acacia Tree. It was more sturdier than the other ones that was more thinner but more larger than normal bamboos.
The herd of Red Deers only came past by Raliz's tree. She looked at the ones in the shore. They were being attacked by crocodile-like creatures.
They had blue scales and a huge, scary mouth and have a body of a Crocodile.
"Alpha, [Inspect]!"

Description: Predators of the Great Mirror Lake. Hunts preys near the shore of the Great Mirror Lake. They commonly preyed on the Red Stone Antler Dears who came to drink water on the lake. They could share their powers to their leader and make an astonishing water attack.
Raliz was amazed by the names of these creatures. They have different levels too. The threat level of the Red Stone Antler Deers were low meant that its not dangerous. They have the attributes of the Earth. It also shown in the stats that the deers were scared.
The Blue-Scaled Mirror Crocodile use water attributes. In Raliz' knowledge, Earth and Rock Elements were weak against water Elements, and Crocodiles were natural predator of Deers, maybe that's the reason why the Deers were scared.
It appeared too that the Crocodiles were a threat to Raliz's life. Maybe it is because of the difference of their levels.
"Alpha, Show me different kind of levels." Raliz commanded.
"Level 1-4(Zero Tier), Level 5-9(Warrior Tier), Level 10-19(Elite Tier), Level 20-34(Master Tier), Level 35-54(GrandMaster Tier), Level 55-84(King Tier), Level 85-139(Legendary Tier)."
Raliz read the messages in her mind.
She understood it completely. There are different counts of levels every Rank. One needs to breakthrough every levels and every bottlenecks to get to the next Rank and continue to level up.
Raliz saw that at the end of the lake the Deers stopped. Their body glowed and the earth that they were standing shook.
A huge stone wall appeared separating them from the vicious and prehistoric creatures in the lake.
The Crocodiles were angry and their conditions in their stat changed. Instead of Happy, it became infuriated.
They gathered around at the center of the lake. A Crocodile appeared on the center.
The Scales of the Crocodiles glowed. The large one in the center has the brightest light.
The Largest Blue-Scaled Mirror Crocodile opened its mouth and a stream of water came out.
Base on how fast the water flew, the pressure must be outstanding.
The steady stream of water was like a large steel hammer hitting the large wall hard and the wall broke like glass after taking few hits.
Raliz was astonished.
The water pressure was very powerful. It broke a large wall like that.
The Red Stone Antler Deers shivered. Others went back to the forest while the other ones were hit by the water attack of the crocodiles.
One Red Stone Antler Deer ran in Raliz tree and tried to climbed up but unfortunately, it couldn't and was caught by the bloody maw of a Blue-Scaled Mirror Crocodile.
The monster dragged the deer into the lake.
The Crocodile was happy that it had caught a meal for today. It wanted to gobble it up now because if it reaches in the water, other Crocodiles might steal its catch.
It chomped a leg. It happily ate its prey.
Roar!
A beast came out of the forest and stomped the Crocodile's head that was chowing on its prey.
The Crocodile was suppressed. It couldn't fight back. The other crocodiles noticed their brother was being bullied by a fiend and tried to help.
Roar!
The beast roared at the nearing Crocodiles. The Crocodiles stopped and they shivered in fear.
No one didn't dared to come close. The roar of the mighty beast made these prehistoric creatures cower in fear.
Even Raliz almost fell off the tree in fear. But she gripped on a mighty branch tightly, preventing herself from falling.
The Beast release its claws out and skewered it into the Crocodile's head. Blood and brain juice gushed out.
The Beast ate the brain like a delicious delicacy.
The Beast looked like a bear. It has a gray horn on its head. Its eyes were deep, dark purple. It has a beautiful brown fur covering its entire body.
Raliz was stunned by its appearance. It was a beautiful beast. Although, Raliz was a little scared, Raliz still admired the Majestic Beast. Raliz also felt that the beast looks familiar.
The Beast finished its food and tried to hunt another one but the other Blue-Scaled Mirror Crocodiles went back deep into the lake.
The Bear looked at the Red Stone Antler Deers not far away.
"Alpha, [Inspect]..." Raliz whispered, trying not get heard by the bear.
[Psychic Horn Cub]
Level: 7 (Warrior)
Elements: Psychic/Strength
Condition:Healthy/Angry, Hungry
Threat Level: 1(It is friendly to you)
Raliz was baffled.
Psychic Horn Cub?... Friendly... Cub... The Cub?! Is that... The Cub? Raliz was exhilarated.
The Psychic Horn Cub looked straight at Raliz who was on the tree. The Cub walked near the tree. Its eyes were filled with worry.
Raliz noticed her chest was glowing. It was the paw mark that the mother bear gave her. It was the mark that tells Raliz is the new owner of the bear.
That is why the bear was worried.
Knowing the bear meant no harm, Raliz jumped off the tree.
Raliz touched the bear's head. The bear smiled and happily licked Raliz's hand. Raliz rubbed the bear's chin, to her surprise the bear suddenly acted like a dog and fell down with satisfaction. Its eyes were dilated and its tongue was out.
Raliz stopped rubbing the bear and laughed.
In the water, a splashing sound sounded. A large predator came out. It looks a Blue-Scaled Mirror Crocodile but it was larger.
It roared towards Raliz and the Bear.
The Bear went forward to cover Raliz. The Bear cut its paw and presented it to Raliz. Raliz was clueless. She didn't know what to do or what does the bear wanted her to do.
"It is trying to make a blood contract with you." Alpha said trying to help the clueless Raliz.
"What?! How?" Raliz didn't understand. None of this.
"Answer: To make a blood contract to a monster, Cut your wrist. Then, let your blood touch the monster's blood." Alpha briefly explained.
Raliz did what Alpha said.
She grabbed a dagger and cut her wrist. She touched the bear's paw and their blood combined together. Their blood floated in the mid-air and formed into words.
The Bear growled and the words turned bright and a paper appeared on top of its head.
"It's your turn to agree. To agree on the contract, Give it a name."Alpha guided.
Raliz thought this was too sudden. She hadn't been given enough time to think of a better name. They are in a rough position now.
Raliz had no choice but to say a name.
"Uhmmm... I'll call you from now on... Brick?" Raliz just made up a name for the Bear.
The Contract's words glowed and the word 'Brick' appeared on the glowing paper. And suddenly, it disintegrated.
"Congratulations! You have successfully made a blood contract to a monster. Soul level increased. [Soul Occupation] is starting to analyze a better occupation... Wait for a moment..."
Raliz left her mouth wide open. She was dumbfounded. She just want to sit there and try to digest everything. Her head reached its limit.
The Bear happily roared in the sky. The deafening sound boomed throughout the forest.
