I slowly became conscious of what was happening; I was lying In a puddle of my own puke.
I get up and the sequence of events that transpired rush back like a boomerang returning.
Ah,... so I guess I survived? My whole body feels weird.
I felt... Refreshed! Like my mind that was previously foggy and unclear was cleaned.
I got up and cleaned the floor.
I really was a debauched piece of shit huh...
I finished my shower after taking a bath, looking at my thin and weak body.
It seemed... different. But no matter how much he checked it out, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
I regret wasting all my money, sigh...
Large amounts of regret washed over me as I recollected all I had done.
The money wasted on girls and drugs, the time I could've spent on attempting to get my life back together...
Leave it, what's done is done, it's better for me to think about the future.
I decided that I would now a man worth living! I would pursue a dream left behind for greater passions, to become a beast tamer!
Beasts were magical creatures, also called Feys, they were incredible animals with the power to produce lightning, use psychic energy, etc.
A beast tamer was someone who dedicated their life to keeping them as pets.
Their were many types of beast tamers. Like those who fought for humanity at the borders, those who simply owned them for fun, or even those who pursued a career of entertainment with them.
The goal was to strive to be the strongest!
And though he possessed above average talent, he never went and got a pet, as his other passion of teaching overshadowed his desire to own one.
He simply just did not have enough time to properly train a beast AND be a professor at a prestigious academy.
And so he gave up on this, untill now!
Now that he had lost his job, their was nothing except his job records and his knowledge left from that era of his life! Nothing to stop him!
Alright, I better choose a beast with good starting abilities and evolution prospects.
Even though one could contract multiple pets through their soul, and cancel contracts at will, it was a waste of time for him to contract a weak beast if he was to leave it quickly, evolving them better matched his personality instead of abandoning them.
I have about 25,000 in my bank, that should be enough for something good
He was excited, genuinely excited after so long in his life.
He made his way to his room and put on a fresh set of clothes, putting on his 'smart watch'.
A smart watch was a piece of revolutionary technology that could be said to be a computer on one's wrist.
As he fiddled with it, going through his contacts for anything useful and failing to do so, he found an unkown program.
What's this? I never downloaded anything like this, or do I just not remember?
He opened the program and blue holographic screens were displayed from the watch, nothing special.
[Welcome to the Fey System]
[Table of content:]

[Pets]
[System Logs]
[Quests]
[LOCKED]
I am very confused
What is this? 'Fey System? Is it some kind of scam?
I pressed on pets.
[Host currently does not have any pets]
"How does it know that!?"
I pressed on status.
[Status Screen:]
Name: Blake Terrin
Qualifications: None(Former Professor)
Rank: None
Talent: 7.2/15
Physique: ???
Abilities: None
Huh? It has my information!?
My name... profession... And talent??? This thing can measure my talent?
I slowly read digested everything when suddenly more screens popped up.
[The Fey System, or System for short is a tool designed to assist the host in reaching the top of this world]
[To hasten the process of learning, System will now inject knowledge into the host about its workings]
What? What do you mea- !!
"AAAHHH!!"
My short outburst was quickly accompanied by hasty breathing
"Haa... so that's how, haaa... this thing works.."
I understood how to work this, and I also completely believed it.
Something that could do all of this was an almighty existence.
[Please choose one of three benefits]
[Library of Beast Knowledge]
[Realm of Comabt]
[Runic Dimension]
I already knew of all of their effects, and knew that I could unlock them again in the future.
"'Library of Beast Knowledge'!"
I selected the first option, and the previously 'locked' portion glowed, changing into the benefit.
The library of beast knowledge was very compatible with me. It was a huge reservoir of beast related knowledge and techniques, which would greatly help me in the future.
Though it did not give me battle techniques or cultivation methods like the Realm, or directly benefit me and my pets like the Runic Dimension, it did go well with me.
Battle techniques without strong pets will leave me stagnated in cultivation, and even the perfect environment without me properly utilizing it would leave me and my pets only with somewhat high cultivation.
Ofcourse only pet knowledge would cause my personal strength to stagnate, I could simply just get carried hard by my pets!
I immediately went and activated this ability.
VROOOM!!!
It felt like my whole body passed through the clouds as I ended my in a gigantic library of sorts.
I quickly glanced at everything.
[64-Point Acupuncture Technique]
[Basics of Evolution Planning]
[Method To Teach Fire Skills To Ice Beasts]
I really wanted to dive head first into those books. My thirst for knowledge never was so strong!
But I restrained myself, choosing to get a pet first.
Then I'll research all about it and make it the strongest of its kind!
