Adrian woke up next day pretty early.
When he found out that the mutated cat has levelled up once again he was quite surprised.
'This little brat's speed at increasing it's level is quite fast'.
Adrian thought in his heart.
"System it only has General grade potential why is it levelling up so fast?" He asked with curiosity.
[Ding! Replying to the host!
It is because the host's contract has consumed a lot of basic beast food which contains rich nutrients and is exclusively helpful for the growth of beasts below General grade]
'It seems I still need to know a lot about the system products. None of them are ordinary'.
When Adrian was pondering over the system's wonders.
The Mutant cat woke up with a confused look.
It looked at Adrian then slowly crawled onto his lap and stretched it's body lazily then lied down.
Adrian brushed it's soft fur softly.
Meow~~ Meow~~
The cat purred and enjoyed the sensation closing it's eyes.
"Hey I still didn't give you a name,did I?"
Adrian asked petting the cat through telepathy.
Meow? Meow?~
("Name? What that is? Can name eat? ")
It also asked Adrian through telepathy with it's awkward language.
The mutant cat's ability to talk is still extremely poor it will need quite a while to adapt.
"No it's what I will use to call you from now on. It signifies your identity".
Meow....(Oh.....Understand Name give me)
'It is important for me to improve your manner of speaking' Adrian thought shaking his head.
"Let's just call you Blackie as you are a beast which will further evolve towards the route of shadow element as the primary attribute that will be the best name".Said Adrian petting it's head.
"Blackie? Me Blackie? Yeah! I'm Blackie!"
The mutant cat was very excited to have a name exclusively for it's own.
It rubbed it's head to Adrian's cheek intimately.
He also petted it softly then said.
"Today is the date of coming of age ceremony We need to take a bath to look good let's go"
Said leone through telepathy to Blackie.
It froze when it heard that it needs to take a bath.
Meoww!~~("Nooo!! Bath! Nooo! Hate Water!")
But Adrian didn't listen to it and dragged it down to his bathroom to first wash it cleanly.
Half an hour later Blackie came out of the Bathroom with a lifeless eyes, it was wrapped in a white towel. It's face hung down with a wronged expression.
"Hey you are acting as if you starved for an entire week.Don't keep that face daily baths will keep your body clean". Adrian said petting it's head.
Meow!!~ Meow!!~~ Meow!~~
("Hate Water! Hate Water! Blackie hates Water!
Bad Master! Blackie hates Master too!")
It said in an aggrieved tone.
"Uh...Haha well I'll also take a quick shower and return".Adrian said and walked back to his room
He also came within a dozen minutes.
Then took out the clothes his parents bought for him exclusively for the Ceremony.
It was a Suit and a matching Trousers.
Have to say even if the world is different the dressing style is quite similar.
That is the reason sometimes he even assumes this world might be a paralled earth with new species.
Adrian combed his hair properly then looked at himself in the mirror.
The blood red eyes were very eye catching.
He looked extremely good especially after Assimilating the Vampire Originator's bloodline.
He returned his eye color to normal.
Then picked up Blackie in his hands and walked out of his room.
The other clan members and servants were discussing seeing how good looking he is today.
Adrian didn't pay much attention to their conversations and walked towards the Basement to enter the Clan Ground.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blake Clan's Ground
When Adrian entered here there were a bit more than 20 people present already.
All the clan elders and other direct descendants are here along with Wyatt and katrina.
It is a rule of the Blake clan to summon all the important clansmen to attend the coming of age ceremony for every direct descendant of the clan.
Seeing Adrian more than half the clan elders smiled and nodded to him.
Adrian is the most sensible among the younger generation in the Blake clan.
He isn't arrogant but has a very impressive business mind.Compared to the rest of the brats he is quite matured and calm minded that is why most clan elders have high hopes for him.
Only the youngsters have uncomfortable expressions and forced out smiles with difficulty.
They really don't like Adrian because from the start he was the one who was held as the most optimistic to be elected as the Clan patriach.
He was both the Patriach's son and was also very smart.
The elders also viewed him with high regards.So they never even had a chance in the first place to compete properly.
Adrian never ever gave any attention to these little brats.In his eyes he never had any interest for the Blake clan in the first place. For him it is not any different from a well how can he accept to be a frog and live there all his life.
It is just going to be the place where his rise will start as his ambition to become the most powerful being in the world.
Adrian walked upto the Stage where the First Elder and the clan Patriach William were standing.
They both had solemn expressions on their faces.
Adrian didn't say anything and quietly stood in front of a few drawings holding Blackie.
These drawings are of blake clan's predecessors the previous elders and patriachs who have made significant contributions to the Blake family.
Then The first elder and William boasted all kinds of nonsense about the Blake clan.
They then started the coming of age ceremony's
ritual.
Adrian needed to vow that he will always be loyal to the Blake clan and never betray it which he did do without any hesitation.
He went onto cut his finger and dropped some blood drops in front of the Paintings of the predecessors as a tribute to their hard work.
Normally the Blake clan's direct descendants will form a contract with their beasts on the coming of age ceremony as they would reach the perfect age of 16.
As Adrian had already contracted blackie before he just acted like he formed a contract now right in front of them so as not to be suspected.
The Coming of age's ceremony ended with a banquet where they ate all kinds of delicious foods.
The ceremony ended by evening.
Adrian returned back to his room holding blackie with a tired expression.
'Acting like a well mannered kid in front of all those old foggies is quite tiring'.
He complained in his heart.
He fed blackie and it ended up falling asleep again.
He freshened up and sat cross legged.
'It's finally about time to take it out'
With great expectation Adrian took out the Heavenly Chaos Astral Art Book from the System subspace.
