[I am the beast master system, a heavenly treasure bound to your soul]
This was the first time he was hearing the term 'heavenly tresure'.so he asked
"What is a heavenly treasure?"
[A heavenly treasure is an object that is born from the heaven itself and have various abilities , like myself ]
Alex was quite suprised and quickly asked
"What is your ability ?"
[The system has the ability to make contracts with beasts and use the abilities or skills of contracted beast while strengthening the hosts stats in proportion to that of the contracted beast.]
"Wait a minute, did you just say I can share thier abilities or skills ?"Alex asked in disbelief
[Affirmative ]
Alex was shocked and asked
" Does that mean I can fly since I have contracted a flying beast ?"
[No and yes at the same time, host]
"Huh! What does that mean ?"Alex asked in confusion.
[Because flight is a mid tier skill, it will require an increase in cultivation of either the contracted beast or the host]
"What are these skill tiers ?"
[Skill tiers represent their power level,they are as follows;
Inferior tier
Low tier
Mid tier
High tier
superior tier]
"Are there only these tiers, system?
[Of course not, host. But this is far as your current authority can reveal]
Seeing this, Alex decided to ask another question.
"Why did you choose me as the host"
[Cannot aswer host, not enough authority]
"Why did you activate only now?" Alex decided to ask another question.but he got the same answer once more.
[Cannot aswer host, not enough authority]
Alex was really fustrated and finally asked
"What can you do for me right now. "
[As of now, the system can only show host's and contracted beast's status,give quests and make beast contracts]
Finally getting a different response, he quickly
read through them and asked the system
"Show host's status"
[Showing host's status.Note: the host just need say 'status' the next time the host want to see your status]

"So it basically shows my information, well thats pretty neat."Alex said outloud.Just then he noticed the '????' mark in the 'race' column beside the word human.
"Hey system, what is that question mark in the race column?"
[Cannot aswer host, not enough authority]
Alex was really annoyed because whenever he asked a important question,the system only said 'not enough authority'. He finally decided to ask the system,
"How do I increase my authority?"
[Host can increase authority by either increasing cultivation level or by completing quests]
'At least I now know how to increase my authority'.Now lets see the status of the wind magpie.
"Show me of the status of the wind magpie"
[Name: not yet given
Race: wind magpie
Age: 3
Cultivation realm :3rd order
Health:40/40
Strength:12
Endurance:20
Defence: 14
Agility:57
Stat points: 0
Skills: wind slash,wind manipulation(1m), flight]
"The hell is that speed! That is nearly doubled mine"
[You need to understand host, wind element creatures are naturally more faster than non-wind element creatures.But they are naturally weak in the aspect of strength]
Alex wasn't expecting the system to answer, but he also realized it as well. Just as he was thinking about what to do, he suddenly remembered that thier was something called stat points and quickly read through the description once more.
'So I can increase other stats with stat points, right?'
[Affirmative host]
"Then put 2 into agility, 2 into endurance , 3 into defense and 3 into strength
[Stat points: 10 -> 0]
Just as Alex was pondering what sould he do next.
[New quest released!]
[Quest: 9th order cultivation]
Condition: cultivate upto the 9th realm within the black forest.
Reward:primodial hundred revolution spirit cultivation technique]
"I didn't expect to receive another quest soon, But why is it saying to not to go outside the black frost forest "
But there was no reply from the system this time.Alex decided to just leave it at that because he knew he would just receive something telling 'not enough authority'.
Now he just needed to find a safe shelter to spend the night in.So he decided to explore a bit and he quickly found a cave and with the help of the green magpie, checked around a bit to ensure that there were no beasts near by.
He sat down and began circulating the spiritual energy around him . Before even 2 seconds passed, he suddenly open his eyes in suprise, exclaiming
"This.. This spiritual energy density is nearly twice that of the black forest city!'
The spiritual energy desity was different from place to place. It was affected by several factors like how many people cultivated there, if there were natural resources, or extremely rare spirit veins or spirit mines
Spirit mimes are resources which have spirit metals in them.spirit metal can be used to make spirit weapons.Meanwhile spirit veins are formed when there is high concentration of spirit energy in the area and they begin to
solidify.
After cultivating for about 3 hours, Alex decided to rest.
....
The next day
Alex slowly opened his eyes and looked around wearly, to see if there were any univited guests in the cave. Fortunately though , there were no beasts in the cave, excluding the green magpie of course.
While looking at the green magpie who was wide awake, he suddenly remembered that he still haven't given it a name yet,So he called it over.
"Hey little guy, I still haven't given you a name yet"
The bird looked quite happy upon hearing it will be given a name.This suprised Alex a bit as he wasn't expecting the bird to understand.
But he was also facing a dilema since he wasn't so good in the field of giving names. So
he decided to go with easiest method he could think of.
"So I will say a bunch of names and you tell which one you like, ok?"
The bird nodded it's head with ferver
"How about greeny"
The bird shook it's head with disgust
"Then what about windy"
The bird once more shook it's head with a look that said 'come on man, where is your creativity'.
....
A few minutes later
The joy on the face of the bird was long gone from and was filled with pure terror. The human infront of it had proposed various names,ranging from 'greeny' to 'birdi' and from 'birdi' to ' green windy birdi'.It was now regretting it's previous choice to become this human's companion.
Alex was also in a awkward sitution now as every time he told a new name to the bird, the look on the bird's face would worsen.As alex was contemplating a new name he suddenly had an Epiphany.
"What about Abigale ?"
Finally, the bird showed a look that said 'finally' and nodded its head quickly, as if it was afraid this human would change it.
"Then abigale it is!"
[The host has given the contracted beast a name. The name of the contracted beast has been changed to Abigale]
"Since we are done here, let's go outside to find some food."
