The odd weak male that hached from the "egg thing" seemed to have changed from the fear he had showen him when he had newly seen him after his haching to now, anger. The bear had observed.
Kinnai had no idea why the weak male was angry at him.
'Was it because I almost made him fall yesterday? But how was I supposed to know he would be so skittish.
I never thought there would be males who were afraid of meat.'
Kinnai thought as he looked at his new cavemate who had moved his little nest closer to the cavewall.
To the part with the most glowing rocks and was taking them off, then proseed to pile them up. Was he playing with them?
' I wonder what's so fun about playing with rocks. He doesn't even look like a youngling, though small .' he thought again staring at Mikael's too small (in his opinion) body.
' tch! I've seen females with a better body and he wouldn't eat the meat I gave him yesterday. Is it a male's pride? Is that why he won't eat my things , only to look so tiny. ' he thought casting a disapproveing look Mikael's way.
Mikael had noticed the odd looks he was getting from the bear but ignored them. He was not going to acknowledge the fact that it (or he) was there until he could claim down.
'why?', you may ask.
Cause nothing hits you in the face quit like finding out the bear who saved you ( more like retrieved ) from out in the wild whom you now essentially live with and wanted to make a pet, is not only sentient but can also take on a humaniod form if he was willing.
The bear was a being known as a beastman. A surpposed to be mythical being.
It was a creature he only had a memory of sorts about because of his childhood curiosity about fictional creatures of the motherworld of humanity before they took to the stars.
Normally, it would be a welcome dream for someone who was interested in these kind of things, something to be excited about. But the current situation wasn't normal and there were problems he had yet to deal with.
He was someone who thought alot and therefore could theorize that if this bear ( or the beastfolk) was not the top of the food chain here then he could be potential food for just about anything bigger than him or that might think of him as food.
'What an exiting thought isn't it.' Mika thought in a sarcastic tone.
' I mean it not everyday you get to know you are someone's dinner option.'
And the damn system just had to tell him that kind of information right after he gave it enough energy to do so, soo not cool.
"How many of these do you need to convert before you hit a bottleneck system? I need a number." Mika asked the system which had been silent since sensing his mood yesterday.
'Is he not mad anymore?' thought Mahlia
" only two more host, the big ones will do. Are you still mad at me host? I honestly don't know why you are angry. He seems nice. " Mahlia tryed to reason.
" Don't you dare say that to me. You know he is not the cause of my anger, you are. Could you not throw a bomb like that at me when you have not even given me a beginner kit to rely on. '"
' Oooh, so he feels threatened.'. I was wondering why he was making such a fuss.
" Hear, complete the charge and give me something I can use. Am starving right now " Mika said thinking back to the meat tossed at him yesterday.
" Don't worry host, the level 0 give you a complete startup kit to ensure survival." she chirped.
Mikael rolled his eyes at the systems words and waited for it to finish the charge. This cheap system was not a good thing.
After an hour, the system refreshed and sent Mika a notice.
" Host should please refer to the 'system port' button, then to the reward retrieval section to get your level 0 beginner's startup kit."
It took Mika awhile to get to the reward section not having had the interest to get familiar earlier with some of the features.
he wasn't really in the mood to get too indeept with it when he just got it.
'This took too much time. I have to get to know all the button functions later.' he thought.
At the reward retrieval point, Mika took a moment to look at the six cubes that were meant for storage. One of which contained an animal skin bag that didn't look that big.
"That's it?" Mika asked looking at the animal skin bag.
"It may not look big but it's a miniature space bag that can contain a few things for easy storage."
