After my strokes, this is my therapy. By writing stories.
I hope you enjoy and leave comments.
After the pandemic, then the wars for resources our world got bathed in various cosmic rays. Then, suddenly, 1440, 1,000 foot Chrystal's rose from the ground, equal distance in the earth, both in the ocean and on the ground. above each chrystal, what could be called angels appeared. Then, the announcement started.
"Your civilization is dying, and we are here to guide you on your next evolution. Upon your youths 16 birthday, he or she will receive a system to guide you through the evolution."
Suddenly, normal pets turned into larger pets, others turned into monsters, and humanity lost even more of our population, then the bones of animals from 10,000+ years ago became flesh, and all of them bred. some humans received beast qualities. That was 200 years ago.
I am Chasen, and I am almost 16 years old. My 2 sisters and I live with my aunt. Our parents had taken out a loan from a loan shark. He even had a pool to swim in.
Our parents were hunters, well dad was a hunter, mom was an archer. and they had to take on quests to pay off the interest on the loan. They died.
After their deaths, the thugs came for us, my aunt paid them, and we lived as debt slaves for her.
Aunt Drake was widowed just from her husband and son's going to the market. It's not just non-human monsters to contend with. So my sisters and I helped my aunt. When we turned 16, we could leave. My sisters decided to stay with Aunt Ruth. They are 3 and 4 years older, Carly is 20, and Grace is 19 years old.
Like, I am Chasen. I will be 16, tomorrow.
my sisters are close to 5 foot 8 inches and have that California tan, I am almost 6 foot with my family's light blonde hair.
Today, I have to finish my Tiger trap, that Sabretooth is getting Aunties goats and on the eve of my birthday, I have to work my back to dig the hole.
the Sabretooth looks close to the size of the old sedans in Aunties garage. My trait isn't huge muscles. It is sight. I can see far off and
we don't have any schools, so my aunt has a huge library with just about anything, even the book to show me how to make a Burmese Tiger Trap.
All 3 of us kids had to do lessons for hours every day before we got to our chores and could relax.
My sisters have gotten feline traits, fur, claws, etc. I have cat eyes, and I see things as if night it was daylight. no furry body.
I am quite proficient with mom's bows, I am using her heavy crossbow. Aside from the spikes lining the sides of the hole, I tossed in a few 20-foot rattle snakes. I covered the pit with my homemade drywall with a goat on top. I had to wait until after midnight for the tiger to go across the false roof. down it went into the pit with the snakes.
The yelping, hissing, rattling, and growling the fight was probably awesome. Whenever the Tiger tried to climb out, it got a face full of a crossbow bolt.
Then everything went quiet, and I was looking at an angel. "Tonight you will receive your talent and skills. You are a Hunter with the rare class of Beast Tamer. Your class is "AAA" Hunter, and your taming abilities are "SSS." Your hunting ability makes your archer ability to never miss the aimed first shot. your taming ability not only gives you 1 creature, but "SSS" gives you 2 more creatures to tame, per level. your sight is now, "SSS" which let's you not only see at night but let's you see the status and potential of monsters."
Ok, yeah, why do I get more than just my Hunter ability?"
"Your species is evolving, so you have more abilities and skills than your previous generation."
My oldest sister has a first kill silent attack, and my youngest sister has a life draining ability.
My aunt has an ability to absorb anything she touches and hardness touch, like metal she can absorb and harden her body to the strength of the metal.
Well, back to my angel, "So do you mean that I can tell different things about the monsters?"
"Yes, you can, from the creatures potential to its current hit points and if it is poisoned or under another abnormal status."
"How do I tame them?"
"All of this information is being uploaded into your brain. I am currently telling 1200 people on their 16th birthday, in my area of the chrystal shard, about their abilities, etc.
I looked at myself.
Chasen, age; 16
Hunter Level, "1"
beast taming, Level, "1"
skills, Archery; 1, cooking; 1, skinning; 1, stealth; 1.
I was back in the world, and as my mind focused, I looked at the Sabretooth and saw.
Sabretooth (adolescent)
level 20;
Earth element;
severly poisoned, dying.
"Will you be mine!"
From a roar to a whimper, the tiger relented and accepted my request to be tamed.
let.me know if I need to change anything or expand on something
