Cracking echoed throughout the room and the egg was shaking as the thing inside was trying to break out.
Shaman quickly laid down on the floor getting as close as she could to the egg.
[Please put a drop of blood on the egg]
The system asked a rather odd request, but the excitement of the egg hatching blinded Shaman.
Shaman quickly pricked her finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the egg. The blood was absorbed into the egg without a trace and Shaman's light regeneration healed the wound.
*
After a couple of minutes, the egg finally cracked open revealing a dark silver-furred wolf with white tips on its ears and tail. The wolf's tail flopped out of the egg and it raises its head looking at Shaman with bright blue eyes like hers. Shaman could not hold her excitement anymore.
"IT'S SO CUUUUTTEEE!!!!" Shaman lifted up the cup-sized wolf making sure it was real and not sort of doll, until a system message appeared.
[Wolf egg has been hatched]
[It recognizes you as its mother what shall you name it]
[____]
'YES, I can name it, but I'm terrible with names, but I want a cute name.' Shaman placed the wolf cub back down by its egg and when she did it started eating the egg shell.
'Didn't know you could eat your egg shell, wonder if it makes you stronger like in some novels? Anyway, It should be fine if it's willing to eat it. Now for a name, maybe I should just go with Wolfy, since it is simple and it's cute.
'Ahh that is so basic, but I can't think of anything else right now.' Shaman already felt a little ashamed at her name choice, but she rolled with it since it was her wolf.
[Wolfy]
[Yes/No]
'Yes.' The system window closed and the wolf's forehead who was still munching on the shell started to glow a little, then another system message appeared.
[Wolfy (cub)]
[Tier 4]
[Level 1/100]
[Race: Shadow moon wolf]
[HP: 500/500]
[A newly born cub that is of the rare subspecies of wolves, They are able to manipulate shadows and depending on the cycle of the moon their stats will be enhanced but will not receive anything if there is no moon present]
[Although tier 4 it's power is that of a tier-one and will need to level up in order to receive the power of tier 4]
'Wow okay, it sounds overpowered, but I need to level it up in order for it to get stronger.' Shaman was impressed by her found but was a little sad it wasn't that strong as of yet.
Shaman then turned to Wolfy who had just finished eating its own shell. Reaching for Wolfy, Shaman started petting him feeling the incredibly soft fur rivalling her tail.
"You even have similar fur like me, I can already tell we are going to be great companions and I swear as your mother I will protect you." Wolfy nuzzled his head into Shaman's palm wanting more pats.
"Oh you, you're just too adorable, I just can't resist you." Shaman then decided to play with Wolfy showering it with affection and the little cub was having a blast.

Shaman after playing with her new little wolf went ahead and fed it some of the meat she got earlier.
Little Wolfy's eyes lit upon seeing the meat and devoured the food quickly. Shaman watching this melted in the cuteness and could not believe she got such a cute companion.
After Wolfy finished his meal, Shaman decided to give Wolfy a bath to freshen him up. She picked up Wolfy with one hand and made her way to the bathroom.
Shaman froze for a second as she did not realize something else was missing when she was transported to this world but was too busy focusing on the task at hand.
With a dead expression, she comes to realize she has lost her chest.
Wolfy looked up curiously wondering why the pats had stopped, not understanding why she stopped, he started to lightly slap her chest with his head.
'How could I have not noticed my chest disappearing, I mean it isn't completely gone I still have a little bit, but I liked my averaged sized one, they fit perfectly in my hand.' Shaman was in disbelief and was cursing the world further for taking away more of her proportions.
Wolfy continued to bang on Shaman, managing to grab her attention.
"Oh yes a bath, Wolfy you will make me forget about my pains." Wolfy let out a quiet woof in response and so Shaman headed for the bath.
Surprisingly Wolfy was okay with water and was having fun splashing around in the water.
After washing up Wolfy and seeing that it is still in the afternoon, Shaman decided to take Wolfy outside to get him familiar with its surroundings. Shaman just before leaving put Wolfy on her head and made her way outside.
After exploring the city a little, Wolfy who was rather timid at first started getting more confident and did not try to hide behind Shaman's ears. Shaman who was trying to make sure that Wolfy was having a smooth ride could not help but giggle a little at Wolfy.
While being distracted Shaman ended up walking into an ally as she took one turn to early.
Shaman was making sure Wolfy was stable on her head, however, a woman and 2 men blocked her path.
Halting her steps she looked at the 3 adventurers that seemed to be only E rank judging from their gear and trembed a little as the thoughts of killing appeared again.
The group noticed her shaking and spoke up, trying to take advantage of it.
"Well looks like we got quite a catch, her fur looks like it will go for a fortune not to mention that little wolf." A man spoke while licking his lips.
"I can't wait to play with her," the woman had a lustful tone implying something more.
Wolfy, was able to notice the ill intent and through the system was able to feel what Shaman was feeling. Wolfy jumped down and got into a stance ready to pounce and lets out an aggressive high pitched woof.
"Oh look at that cute thing standing up for its soon-to-be dead master." The second man spoke up.
Upon hearing this Shaman woke up a little and instantly equipped pulled out her sword and got ready to fight.
"Looks like we got a feisty one, boys, let's get her." The women commanded the 2 men to attack with one rushing at Shaman while the other for Wolfy.
Wolfy, recognizing it as a threat disappeared into a shadow confusing him. Appearing behind him before he could notice, Wolfy ha bit into the back of the man's thigh. Wolfy's mouth was covered in blood as he let go of the man.
It took a few moments, but the man fell to the ground in agony almost passing out.
On Shaman's side not wanting to kill turned to the blunt side of the sword.
The man saw this and mockingly said "You can't even hold a sword, looks like we get an easy catch tonight."
As he finished the sentence Shaman activated sword dash and instantly got behind the man. Smacking her sword at the back of his head, Shaman cracked his skull and knocked him out.
Shaman glanced over to Wolfy to see his situation and to her surprise, her worries were not needed as she saw his blood-covered mouth of Wolfy. Shaman's mouth twitched a little upon looking at the scene as she noticed where the blood was coming from and was surprised by the amount of damage Wolfy had done.
'Despite being a cub, he is ruthless!' Another thing she noticed was that she got EXP from Wolfy beating the man.
[EXP + 30]
[EXP + 15]
[New skill, learnt Dash]
'!!!' Shaman's eyes widen at the message.
'Looks like I can teach myself skills.' Shaman realised she had not fully executed the skill and so the system recognised it as a normal dash adding it to her small list of skills.
Shaman shook her head bringing her attention back to her current situation.
Wolfy ignored the man after he passed out and trotted over back to Shaman jumping back on her head. Shaman was surprised that it was able to do a jump that high.
'I can't underestimate you, now at least I know I got a reliable companion.' Shaman gave Wolfy pats for its effort, but then a thud could be heard in front of her.
The woman fell over and was in shock as her men were taken out in mere seconds by a little girl and a baby wolf and could not help but fall over in fear.
"Yo- You M-mm-mmm-MONSTER!" the women screamed out.
"Jeez do you have to be so loud, plus they are not dead, only knocked out and I'm not a MONSTER!" Shaman then walked over to the woman who had fallen to her knees and Shaman smashed her sheath on the lady's head knocking her out instantly.
'I hope I can evolve soon as if this keeps happening it will only be a matter of time until someone who is stronger than I appears.' Shaman was concerned that soon people who are much stronger will come after her and at this point guessed someone was behind this.
Shaman walked off quickly 'borrowing' their money pouches and continued on her way home.
Shaman arrived back at her apartment and gave Wolfy another wash to get the filth of the man's blood off him.
"You're such a good boy, I'll make sure you become the strongest wolf and we will become the unstoppable duo!" Shaman bathed Wolfy in pats congratulating him on his efforts.
After washing up Wolfy, she placed him on the bed and checks out her new skill
[Dash lvl 1]
[Quickly move a few meters ahead of you in an instant]
[Compatible with the wind element]
'Hmm again with the compatibility with elements, I wonder how I can unlock the different elements. Do I have to learn or do I have to imagine it and suddenly the element will appear? Maybe even with special stones that will just unlock it. I haven't seen anyone use any elemental magic yet so it must be hard to get or takes a long time to learn.' Shaman pondered on how she could harness the elements but notices that it has now gone dark.
'I guess I'll think about it tomorrow and do some experiments when I go hunting for some more wolves tomorrow.' Shaman got changed into her nightwear and hopped into bed.
Wolfy snuggled up to Shaman's body and quickly fell asleep.
'Such a cutie.' Shaman lightly patted Wolfy and eventually fell asleep herself.
