Just before they stepped into the forest they heard a menacing howl from the distance "M-Master do we have do go in there? Its dark and scary."
"Well we have to get stronger some how dont we?" After saying that Taida chuckles "Why are you asking anyway you could probably beat the boss singlehandedly"
"Well..." Scarlet replies while looking down "Just because I'm strong it doesn't mean I'm not afraid of scary things"
"Dont worry" Taida replies while walking forward "As long as I'm with you I'll watch you back" While walking past her he pats her head for a second while continuing
"W-Wait master d-d-don't leave me behind, please" Scarlet exclaims with a panicked tone in her voice
"Then start walking we dont have all day! Others soon will follow us into the woods and I want to be the first discovering somthing cool in here" Taida casually says without looking back
"Y-Yes lets make a great discovery master" As Scarlet says that she runs up to Taida and clings to his arm shivering in fear
'I dont know if I should be elated or annoyed by her behavior sometimes' Acting unbothered they continue their journey into the [Grey Wolves Forest]...
-------------
Fifteen minutes later...
-------------
"Psst Scarlet I think there's something to the left of us in the shrubbery" Taida whispers after halting his steps on the dimly lit dirtpath looking where he heard something
"M-M-Master do you th-think its a gh-ghost?" Scarlet whisper back anxiously clinging even tighter to his arm
"Last time I checked ghosts don't breaks sticks when just floating around lets go take a look" Taida replies while slowly inching closer to the bush on the side of the path
What he didnt expect to see there was a little white fox injured, lying on the ground looking frail and malnourished
"Master its just a fox lets kill it to get the exp and then continue so we can get out of this creepy forest fast" Scarlet says still not giving Taida back his arm
"No this is the perfect opportunity to use [Tame] and test its functions and also to get a pet with a possible bloodline who knows what RNGesus has planned for us now" Getting ready to use [Tame] he replies freeing himself at the same time
"Who is this RNGesus you speak of master?" Scarlet asked with a confused gaze
"Just dont think about it. Ok system use [Tame] on the fox"
[Tame used... taming successful]
[Does the player wish to form a blood bond with Tamed creature?]
[Y/N]
"Yes"
"And instantly use [Minor Bond Heal] on the fox" Taida says after the bond is complete "So what should I call this little guy? Ok lets go with..."
While he picks up the fox he opens its status panel

"Carl, master? Why such an ordinary name if your sure to accomplish great thing with your luck up to this point?" Scarlet asks with a confused look.
Taida chuckles and then says "Do you think ordinary means bad? Everybody needs somthing ordinary in their life or we will forget what the special things in our world are."
"Ah... I dont know how to reply to that" He receives as a reply "Well it does make sense, if everything was extraordinary it would become the ordinary after all"
"Yes, so can you guess now why I gave him an ordinary name" Putting carl on his shoulder he turns around taking a step back onto the road
"Well I guess so you have atleast somthing somewhat ordinary once everything goes completely out of hand and chaos follows?" Scarlet says with a smile
Taida just keeps walking without turning back as he says "Lets head deeper into the forest maybe we'll find a few wolves to hunt"
--------
A few minutes later
--------
"[Minor slow debuff] Why didnt I expect them to hunt in packs" Taida yells as he jumps out of the way of a wolf trying to bite his arm
"Don't worry master there easy to kill and with the numbers they're kinda fun to fight" Scarlet says calmly as she launches a [fire arrow] and kills the third wolf "Sadly there only four left"
"Easy for you to say they cant even scratch you but I could get killed here so please hurry up!" Taida says firing a [Mana bullet] to make a wolf go of course
"Ok master" Scarlet says with a sad look launching a [Flame spear] to one wolf sneaking up on Taida frome behind one shotting it firing another [Fire arrow] at yet another wolf finishing the last two who were running at her with a [Fireball]
[Your soul bound killed [Gray wolf] x7 45 exp rewarded]
[Item [Wolf fang] dropped]
Letting himself fall to the ground leaning on a tree Taida says "Lets rest for five minutes and then continue"
Scarlet sitting down next to him lays her head on his shoulder "Yes master my mana shoul start to regenerate too"
"So why are you leaning on me again?" Taida say while starting to pet little carl after he climbed on his legs
"Why do you not like it?" Scarlet asked closing her eyes "I dont think theres any man who would mind cuddling with a cute girl"
"True and I didn't say I don't like it did I? just wanted to know why" Scratching carl behind the ears who is quite close to him knowing who helped him when he was injured
"Felt like it" Scarlet say opening her eyes again watching carl too now "Shouldn't we should feed him a little? He looks like he needs it"
"True but he's so fluffy can't stop patting him, like you said no man can withstand cuteness" Using one hand to continue he takes out a piece of jerky he bought in the city "Well here you go little guy"
Carl seeing meat instantly goes for it "Looks like he was quite hungry" Scarlet chuckles
Not answering Taida closes his eyes 'Why cant real life be like this too?' After a few minutes they get up "Well enought rest lets go kill the big bad wolf" Smiling at scarlet he starts walking
On the way they encounter another group of wolfes just with an extra one this time
[Your soul bound killed [Grey wolf] x8 54 exp rewarded]
Standing infront of a cave Scarlet says "Seems like we wont get stronger before the wolfs den"
"You just had to spell it out didnt you? Well no turning back now" Saying that he steps into the cave
[Enter [Den of the Gray wolf's] Dungeon? (Recommended party size: 5 with a level of 4)]
[Y/N]
'Did she really guess the name just now?... Anyway lets go I guess' As Taida think that he chooses yes and they teleport inside
"Get ready to fight I dont know how long this will take" Saying so Taida starts walking down the cave like tunnel "Lets hope we meet some wolfs to get a level up before the Boss"
