Klein stared at the screen of his Character Panel, his eyes scanning through his attributes, and he was a bit confused.

His attributes were higher than what he remembered it should be for a new player, and he couldn't help but wonder why.
As he scrolled down his Martial Beast information, he noticed a button that he had never seen before.
*Click*
Curious, he clicked on it, and then he was surprised!

"Wait!! How could this happen? It wasn't there before!!"
"Is it a bug?" Klein said in shocked.
Klein was beyond shocked as he remembered clearly at his character creation, he only had the White Peacock as his Martial Beast.
He rubbed his chin, deep in thought. `Could it be true that the Martial Beast chosen by the player would be bound to the player's soul in real life?`
If that were the case, then the fact that he had the same Martial Beast in the game as he did in his previous life was quite horrendous for him.
However, he was also confused. How could he awaken his Martial Beasts in the game?
It was still unheard of for a player to have Dual Martial Beasts from his previous life. Perhaps there were more mysteries in the game than what he already knew.
Klein shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. He needed to focus on the present and make the most of his advantages.
*Sigh*
Klein took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to clear his thoughts and focus on the task at hand.
He knew that he had a significant advantage with his Dual Martial Beasts, but he also couldn't ignore the danger that came with it.
The negative trait of the White Peacock could corrode his body and lead to severe consequences if not handled properly.
As he looked at the Martial Beast Information and focused on the Komodo Dragon. He couldn't help but to feel excited and saw the possibilities of what it could do, especially with its enhanced regeneration ability. Perhaps if he could cultivate it properly this time, he could negate the negative trait of the White Peacock.
However, Klein was conflicted. he had two Martial Beasts at his disposal - the White Peacock and the Komodo Dragon. If he were about to cultivate both Martial Beasts at the same time, he probably would have more well-rounded set of skills and be able to easily climb to the top of the leaderboard.
However, he was completely aware of how much effort and resources it needed to cultivate his Martial Beast in his previous life. Also, he wasn't sure for 100% if the Komodo Dragon's enhanced regeneration would be strong enough to manage the negative trait of the White Peacock.
Soo, the most visible way for Klein was probably to focus on cultivating one Martial Beast at a time which is the Komodo Dragon.
He couldn't risk the danger posed by the White Peacock's negative trait, although he knew some ways to negate the traits, but at the current stage he wasn't capable enough to achieve it.
One of the ways that he already thought of was the legendary item from the Starfall Canyon in the northern reaches of the world. That was why he had chosen Icemoor Village as the starter village.
However, it was one of his long-term plans, since the canyon was located in a high-level dangerous area, and his level wasn't high enough to venture there at this current stage.
After making the decision to focus on cultivating his Komodo Dragon, Klein decided to call it a day and logged out of the game, because he had to attend his classes at college.
Since Klein was already familiar with the game, he knew that the double exp buff would still be generated after 6 hours as long as he was inside the room in the inn, even if he was offline.
Although he knew that he would be left behind by other players who were actively playing, Klein was confident in his ability to catch up with them.
Klein stepped out of the game cabin and took a deep breath of fresh air. He stretched his limbs, feeling a bit stiff from laying down in the same position for hours on end.
He had already spent too much time only for choosing his Martial Beast, and in deciding his path for the future.
However, Klein felt that the time he spent was worth it, since the gain was more than he had expected.
As he made his way to his class, he noticed a group of college students gathered outside the class, chattering away about the newly launched game 'Martial Evolution'.
Klein couldn't help but remember that in his previous life he was absent from his classes for several days because he was busy playing the Martial Evolution and had his father even come to the campus to scold him.
However, this time he promised he wouldn't do the same as he did in his previous life, because he didn't want to disappoint his family again.
"Sigh… I think it's time to turn over a new leaf…" Klein said with a pained expression on his face.
