Orion lay in his bed, feeling exhausted but satisfied after a hard day of training. He had pushed himself to his limits, and he knew that he was making progress on his path of cultivation. As he lay there, catching his breath, his thoughts turned to his friend and fellow cultivator, Atlas.
"System, what happened to Atlas? Does he already finish absorbing that beast core?" Orion asked, his voice tired but curious.
[Not yet, host. It seems that the beast core is so powerful that it needs a long time to absorb.]
Orion's frown deepened at this response. Atlas was his beast, and he cared for him deeply. He had entrusted Atlas with the powerful beast core, hoping that it would help his companion grow stronger and more powerful.
It had been a year since Atlas had started absorbing the core, and Orion was becoming increasingly concerned. He knew that the beast core was incredibly potent and that it could take a long time to fully absorb its power.
