I still can't pinpoint the creature but seeing its condition it really needs help.
"Rika, wait a minute...."
I said that to Rika. We don't know if the creature is evil or not. If it's just pretending to be dead, then it's not impossible that Rika and I will be preyed upon.
I tried to think of a solution and suddenly remembered Rika's ability. "Tamer" should work.
"Don't go anywhere and wait for uncle here."
Saying that, I hurriedly entered the house while watching Rika.
Why did I send Rika outside? I forgot to tell you guys but it seems like this house has a special barrier that can't be penetrated. I tried throwing a rock from outside the courtyard last night and it bounced back outside.
It seems that only Rika and I can get in and out of our house.
"Rika, feed the dog"
I brought some hamburger meat that I made earlier so that Rika could feed the animal.
But before that, I checked the animal's condition and it looked like it was already panting with a condition similar to a dying person.
While I was holding the animal, there was actually a promp that said if I wanted to customize the dark wolf's body but I ignored it and focused on feeding Rika first.
"Come on, Rika give this dog some food"
"Alright, uncle"
Rika immediately fed the dog. Surprisingly, Rika is very good at feeding. She squeezed it in her hand until the meat crumbled and then fed it to the dark wolf little by little.
Finally Rika finished feeding and she shouted.
"Uncle!!! There's a writing that suddenly appeared in front of Rika!!!"
Rika immediately held the writing and pointed it at me.
It said "do you want to make the dark wolf a Tamer?" "Yes/No"
"Press yes, Rika"
Rika immediately followed my guidance and finally, this was the first time we used the skill. After that, there was a pink light that enveloped the dark wolf there. Looks like Rika's task was successful. I then brought in the dark wolf and started using my skill. Creation skill.
"Do you want to create the dark wolf's body?"
I then chose "yes" and there was another option that appeared.
"Repair the dark wolf's body"
"Modify the dark wolf's body"
"Processing the dark wolf's body"
The third option sounded very dangerous and option two seemed mentally unprepared so I chose the first.
The moment I chose that, the wounds on the dark wolf's body began to disappear and he instantly seemed to come back to life.
(Isn't this creation skill too versatile?)
I muttered while being surprised inwardly. Just look at this, I originally thought it was just an inanimate object but it seems that the definition from the previous indicator board was incomplete.
"Grrr"
Dark wolf then let out a growling sound but when he saw Rika, he immediately changed his voice
"Nnggg ngggg"
While heading towards Rika and then removing his head to Rika's feet.
"ahahaha, stop, it's ticklish"
I who saw that need not worry because after all the effect of our skill is really real.
"Rika, do you want to keep it?"
I keep asking Rika that even though the dark wolf has become her pet.
This question is not as simple as asking if she wants to or not but it has many meanings such as discipline and responsibility.
"Un, Rika wants to keep this dog"
Rika didn't seem to understand that it was a wolf. Well it didn't matter as long as she was happy.
"Then, why don't you give it a name?"
I said that to Rika.
"Name?"
Rika asked me again.
"Right, a name. Don't Rika's friends name their pets too?"
Amel and Rudy wouldn't let Rika get a pet because Amelia was severely allergic to animal hair.
"Um... Alright uncle, Rika will give it a name. Since it's black, Rika will call it Blacky."
What a childish name. Well it suits Rika so there is no problem. Ah, there's one more piece of information I forgot to mention. Other creatures can only enter the yard if they get permission from me.
With that, we got Blacky's as new partner.
***
A vast forest, whisperwood. It's a forest filled with many monsters and cornered people. Some are short and muscular, some have long ears, some have ears like us, and there are also ordinary humans.
Unfortunately, the law of the jungle really applies here. The strong will eat the weak.
Right now, I, the mighty dark wolf, was having a bad fight. I just quit my pack because I don't like our leader. I'm hunting alone in this whisperwood forest.
Unfortunately, I seem to have run into some bad luck. I was attacked by Salamanders, large lizards that spout high-pressure water. Since we were fighting in the swamps, I lost all my advantage of speed. This happened only because I wanted to eat fish.
Thankfully, I was able to escape from there. I, who was already weak, continued to push on. I had forgotten how many days I hadn't eaten. Well, maybe it's because I can't count time.
I traveled until I finally found a faint light. I kept walking towards it. As far as I know, wherever there's light, there's probably a settlement. I should be able to steal some of their livestock.
But, because my body was already too weak, I ended up lying in front of a castle instead.
Just as my consciousness wasn't completely gone, I saw two humans heading towards me. Was this going to be my death?
It seemed that I was too arrogant to leave my flock.
However, what I didn't expect was for those two people to help me. The small one fed me. As I ate it my soul seemed to instantly bond with that girl. It was a feeling where the girl seemed to be able to command me anything.
Then the other one, that guy seemed to be using a strange power that could instantly restore me and my consciousness.
After I regained consciousness, I growled for a while but at the sight of that little girl, it somehow made me want to take my head out to her.
"Nggg nggg" (greetings, my lord!!!)
