Next day Sam woke up early in the morning and went towards the burrow. The rats will definitely come out of burrow in the morning. So, I have to hurry. Sam was thinking of earning some exp today. He had hundred stats in defense and other stats were also equal to initial stage of rank 2. He had nothing to worry. Their attack will not even pierce his scales. He had made today's plan to hunt the rats. It was also a form of revenge for injuring mighty dragon Sam's pride.
He was pretty excited to find out how much he had improved after his life and death trial (which he, himself was the reason for lightning strikes). Playing with fire burns the hand. For the first time in life. He understood the meaning of this idiom. He already had made a mental note and highlighted it with red, not to mock or ridicule the system.
You know right the system electrocuted a baby dragon. A child harassment was done to me. He would have cried if he wasn't a mature dragon on his heart.
System was as speechless as ever. If anyone asks did you really spend less than a day to become indifferent towards Sam's comments.
System would say did I really became indifferent in less than a day of contact. There was definitely something wrong with Sam's brain.
Getting on the topic again. Sam felt the difference on his body he was several times faster than before. He could he had more strength on his limbs. His scales were had more density and tougher than before. It didn't felt like his own body. He got near his yesterday's ( eleven days ago but yesterday for Sam) hiding spot. This was the place where legends of mighty dragon Sam began. Feeling of pride was surfacing in his heart.
[You were injured by a rat here.] System couldn't take it anymore. System creator has to take Sam to a psychiatrist or to any Immortal of fox family to check his brain. Fox clan among beasts were proficient in seducing and in dreams. They would drag their opponent into a dream and kill them in physical world or even in dream world after playing with them for sometime. So, they had more knowledge of how brain works.
He was observing tracks left behind by the rats. He was checking if there were fresh tracks made by rats today. Who wants to let their exp escape, right? Then he saw a snake about a meter in length hiding on the bush checking the rats scent on air with it's forked tongue.
That snake had plan similar to his. He was doing the same yesterday. But, Sam wasn't happy about it. The snake wanted a share on his exp, how could he let it have it so easily. Sam didn't cared if it's sees Sam or not. He was faster why will he give a damn about a puny snake.
The snake saw Sam coming towards it. But, it didn't fled but instead raised his head. It was a cobra. Sam was delighted seeing it was cobra. You may ask why. It's simple, some cobra have ability to spit venom. If you can spit venom into your opponents eye, it will turn the entire battle upside down. So, he was thinking of obtaining the ability to spit poison through it's bloodline. You need a hollow teeth to spit poison which Sam didn't had. When Sam reached near cobra then it lowered it's head and stayed still. The snake was looking towards Sam not daring to evert his eyes away from Sam. It was looking at Sam with respect. It didn't know why he will have so much respect for a creature he saw for the first time. It is actually pretty simple all reptiles have respect towards dragon like birds having respect towards Phoenix.
When Sam saw the look on snake's eyes, he couldn't tell himself to kill it. Some kind of strange feeling was telling him not to kill it. Then he saw a blue extending from Sam's body and connecting with the snake's body..
[It is pretty simple. You can make her your subordinate. You can also make her your spiritual beast when you transform into human in future.]
It is actually this simple. Why didn't I thought this way. Sigh~ I must be depending on system way too much.
[Depending your head. It hasn't even reached twenty four hours of our interaction if we exclude you sleeping and being unconscious.]
System finally decided to fight back against this block head.
How can I make it into my subordinate. Do I have to throw some balls to capture it.
[Yes, you can if you have beast ba-]
Wow, I really can. Where is Professor Oak. I want poke balls. Give me my Dialga( legendary pokemon).
[Listen to full sentence before speaking. You don't know how it works after being in immortal world for hundred years. Were you a cultivation maniac. I will explain in detail then.The beast balls works similar to poke balls but they are treasures refined by cultivators. They are very expensive. They also have chance to fail. Unlike your poke balls they are more like a cage. It just captures the beast and beast tamers will have to tame them. In another word they are just cage shaped like a ball which is easy to use and carry.]
Tsk, I won't get Dialga from professor Oak. It's my unlucky day today.
[What Dialga, Oak gave Pikachu to Ash and Oak hasn't catches Dialga]
You are wrong. Millions of players have caught Dialga, Palkia and other legendary pokemon in games.
Zzzz
System couldn't take it anymore and electrocuted Sam again.
When Sam was talking with System. Snake was closely observing Sam. Sometimes Sam was delighted sometime he sighed and finally a lightning stroked Sam. The snake felt respect for every action of Sam. When he took lightning with his body, Sam looked the coolest in entire world( in the eye of snake).
How can I make her my subordinate?
[It is easy for mythical beasts to make subordinates. They can make subordinates by giving the beasts their blood essence.]
How do I give her my blood essence.
[Do you want to make her your subordinate?]
Yes, yes
Small amount of golden blood essence came out from Sam's mouth and entered the body of snake. The snake twisted it's body in pain. It's body was being covered in light green light. The skin of snake came out and dragon like scale covered it's whole body. Small two horns came out of its forehead. The size of the snake increased from a meter to a meter and half. The scales looked more shiner than Sam. The slight brown colour of snake changed into greenish black.
When the snake's transformation finished Sam saw that a bright blue thread came out from Sam's body and connected with Snake's body. The snake seems to be unaware of this but it could feel that his connection with Sam increased. Sam also felt increase in connection between them.
The snake was shocked to see it's transformation. It was just a common cobra which could reach rank 2 if it came across some kind of treasure but had no hope to reach rank 3. Now, it could tell even it didn't knew it's limit.

[ It is becaus-
Stop, don't repeat it. It is because I am a mortal dragon but my subordinate isn't. Life is hard for a mortal dragon. I guess being reincarnated is the major problem.
( System's really wanted to smack his head. He was born with golden spoon on his mouth in his second life.)
Sigh~ I will never ask this sorts of question. It will only hurt my pride.
"Now let's give you a nice name. You should have a good name since you are under me now." Sam looked towards snake seriously. He was thinking a good name.
"Blacky, Snakey, I have terrible naming scenes. Do you have any good name on your mind system?
[Naming your subordinate is your responsibility not mine.]
Then I will just stick her one of the famous names. Then a name suddenly came into his mind.
" Your name will be Manasa. "
Before he could speak further he sensed a murderous intent. Spiritual pressure descended on him making him difficult even to breath. It disappeared in a second like nothing happened. Sam was bewildered. Was giving name such dangerous. He kept thinking what exactly happened. How much he thought he couldn't explain anything related to it.
Sigh~ forget it. I should focus on what I was doing.
Huh, what was I doing? what was I doing system?
[You were going to get revenge for hurting your pride.]
What revenge are you talking about. They cannot even pierce my scales. I am here to farm exp.
"Come, Manasa let's farm some exp." Sam looked towards the burrow with excited expression.
Before he could take a single step, spiritual pressure and murderous intent descend again. He was terrified if it happened first then he could say it was his imagination but it has happened twice now.
The name Manasa must be a taboo. Sam thought in his head.
Unknown to him a man and a beast were observing him and beast was looking him with it's fierce eyes.
