A small tringle-ish cute face, with a small triangle-shaped nose, little round, and innocent-looking brown eyes, brown and white fur covering its small and fluffy quadrupedal body, cute little paws, and a violently wagging tail.
Yep, it's a fucking dog
And not just any dog, but a Russian bear dog
It looks at me with its innocent eyes and adorable face and barks happily while struggling to walk over to me. Entranced I start to walk over and right as I'm about to pick it up I jump back. This thing is dangerous, I wasn't even in control of my body when I started walking, I should kill it just to be sure I don't g-
"Papa"
W-what? I look over at the little pup, "Papa" it says, suddenly all my will to resits is just gone, I walk over and pick up the little guy and start petting his head. Oh wait, he needs a name too, but what to call him.
"How about Cadre," I say out loud and his body flashes red for a second before some of his furs turn a bright crimson color, it's unnoticeable unless you actually search for it but it is there. What just happened was called a Familiar Contract, it's when you name a monster and they become your slave.
The term slave is very crude and sounds bad, but that's exactly what the familiar contract does because they cannot disobey your orders, they cannot harm you, and unintelligent monsters will have absolute loyalty towards you.
Anyway back with Cadre, With a goofy smile on my face, I just sit down and start playing with the ball of fluff, that is until his stomach growls.
Cadre: "Papa me hungy"
You know, normally broken speech would piss me off more than anything, but I can't but think that it's really cute when he does it. So with Cadre still in my arms, I walk out of the trove and into the maze.
While walking through the maze we run into a couple of minor monsters, nothing too major or dangerous, and for the weaker ones I just let cadre kill them. His fighting style is very, how should I say brutish, he can manipulate his size at will and mostly just tramples over the enemies, I can say with all my heart that I am proud he takes after his old man. He also doesn't waste any food and eats everything including the bones.
Anyway, we had made it to another intersection, but this one led down, and right as we were about to enter I heard the sound of drums. Not sure how, or why, but they kept getting louder and louder until I heard singing.

I don't know how to feel about this
On the one hand its a very catchy song
On the other, where the fuck did those instruments come from?
After the musical number, which may I say was really good, a clean 9.1/10, we followed them back to their settlement, which was just a large amount of stone houses, but these ones looked expertly crafted, they also had a very large crystal in the middle of their village. Must be important because it's being constantly guarded. I contemplated going down there or not because, to be honest, there is really no reason for me to go there, Cadre has been fed, and it's not like I need weapons or something from them, so we might as well just leave"
Cadre: "Papa"
"What is it pumpkin?"
Cadre: "Can I eat them" he points his paw towards the dwarves.
"...Sure"
The next couple minutes were very graphic and I may or may not have let Cadre commit genocide on these dwarves just because he asked cutely. Hold on, I never actually checked if Cadre was male or female, meh I'll do it when we get back, but for now, I head down to the destroyed village and pass by the bloodied stone houses that are half blown away.
Cadre really didn't hold back at all, half of the dwarves were just crushed by him trampling over the village, and others were just eaten by him, I don't even think he was hungry, because not long after he just spit them out and went back to killing. Jeez, I should discipline him when we get home.
While getting closer and closer to where Cadre was I see a group of dwarves load up a ballista and aim it right at cadre who is preoccupied. "Charge" I dash at the group who notice me running at them, but it's too late as I barrel through the ballista, spin on my heel and incinerate them with a wave of flames.
I'll also need to train up his sense, but that can wait. Cadre shrinks back to normal size and runs over to me with his tail wagging violently
Cadre: "didyaseedidyaseepapaikilledthemalldidyaseedidya!?" he speaks very quickly
"Yes, I'm very proud of you" I say as I pet his head and walk towards the crystal in the middle with cadre following not far behind. I stop right in front of the large gem and put my hand on it for no reason other than pure curiosity. Suddenly a rush of information is flooded into my brain and all the stored up magical energy that was in the crystal enters my own body.
This crystal is what's called a lost relic, items and technology from a time long past, and this particular item is just a storehouse for information on magic technology, the stuff that could be made with this knowledge would speed up the development of this planet by millions of years.
Unfortunately, my brain couldn't handle the sheer amount of information, so as fast as it entered it just vanished into nothing, the only thing I got was the magical energy and I may have just wasted this planet's only chance at achieving space travel.
Meh, not my problem, because I just got a shit ton of magical energy, so I am actually plus right now.

It wasn't all bad though, because I got a new skill, thankfully I got the information on the new skill, and it pretty much just creates a semi-circle type area that can be increased based on the level, and I can sense anything that is in the area with extreme precision. Pretty much I can see everything that's happening while the skill is active, so I think this was totally worth it.
Suddenly I hear the shifting of stone and dirt, I look over and see one of the dwarves still alive but his lower body is crushed under the collapsed house.
Deciding the be merciful and end his suffering I walk over and intend to crush his head when he speaks up "W-why?" he says through gritted teeth, blood pouring out from his lips and onto the ground.
"Because my son asked"
Dwarf: "Y-you sick bastard!" he raises his hand and tries to throw a fireball at me, but before he can shoot it Cadre increase in size and slams down on the house turning the dwarf into paste.
And a bit got on my lips, I just lick it up and it's actually a lot better tasting than humans.
Oh shit, I think I'm becoming a monster

Oh right!

I am a monster
