"Fuck…" Arthur cursed in his sleep.

The sunlight coming in through the window was as annoying as ever. 

He frowned, remembering the responsibilities of the day. 

He had dreaded it for months, but here it was. 

The first day of his life as a college student. 

"Fuck." He cursed again, refusing to open his eyes.

Having stayed up until 4 am, he had decided to keep the blinds open so that the rays of sunlight would wake him up. It was usually more effective than setting a dozen alarm clocks on his phone. 

'Why did I end up staying up late again…?'

Arthur clicked his tongue. 

He had stayed up dreaming, fantasizing, and praying. Something that he had been doing for years now, to no avail.

"It's pathetic." He sighed.

A couple more seconds were necessary for him to gather the courage and strength to get up.

"Huh?"

With his eyes still closed, fearing that the sunlight will burn his eyes, Arthur frantically tapped the once comfortable bed. 

'No wonder I slept like shit. It feels like solid ground…' He frowned and dug his fingers into the bed. 

Refusing to open his eyes despite feeling the urge to do so, Arthur let himself bathe in the confusion for a bit. Once the eyes open, the mystery is gone. 

In his hands lay parts of his mattress, he thought. Once the eyes open, the mystery is gone…

This moment felt like the closest thing to magic he had experienced. 

How is it possible for his bed, drapes, and mattress to feel like this? Like solid ground that could be dug? 

It was puzzling. But with opened eyes, it wouldn't be anymore. Maybe he had left some food on the bed before sleeping? Maybe… Maybe…

Arthur let out another sigh and scooted over to the end of the bed. 

Except… The bed had no end. 

'Did I fall in my sleep or something?'

Arthur shook his head. It was time to open his eyes.

"..."

There was no window. There was no bed. No sheets. No mattress.

In fact, there weren't any walls at all. 

"How did I end up here?" Arthur whispered to himself with a chuckle. "A goddamn forest. The nearest forest to my room is… God knows how far."

He pushed himself up and noticed that the clothes he had on weren't his. 

"No way…"

His gaze moved towards the right, following the trail left by his body as he had scooted trying to leave his bed.

"Cool…" He whispered as he approached the stone structure that lay right in front of that spot. 

It was covered by strange symbols and signs that glowed faintly.

"Wicked cool."

Arthur walked up to the Altar and squinted, trying to read the inscriptions.

{Place your offering to the Gods.}

'My offering…?'

Arthur reached towards the Altar and,

[The Gods have already accepted your offering.]

He nearly stumbled and fell to the ground as the floating words appeared.

"You're kidding… You're kidding me, right?" Arthur gulped.

Had his prayers really been heard and granted?

"S-Status Window?"

A glitching screen appeared for a couple of seconds.

[Analyzing…]

With each passing second, Arthur could feel his excitement grow wilder and wilder.

[You have been Transmigrated.]

'Yeah… No shit!'

[The previous owner of this body offered his life to the Gods, and the Gods accepted that offering.]

[You, too, were ready to offer your life to the Gods.]

[As such, two opposing prayers were heard and granted.]

"So… The owner of this body woke up in my body?"

[Correct.]

"Holy shit."

[The World you have been Transmigrated into is one of Magic, Beasts, Monsters, and Demons.]

'So this body's original owner wished for a world without those things, huh?'

[As part of the Transmigration, you will now awaken a Class.]

[The Class obtained will depend on the Body's Hidden Talents as well as your temperament and personality.]

[Analyzing…]

"Alright." Arthur nodded continually.

His nodding only stopped once a golden aura started oozing out of his body.

Gulp-

The System screen turned golden, and the words shone brighter than ever.

[Class: Taming Master.]

[Rank: Heroic.]

[Potential: SSS.]

[You have Developed the Skill "Tamed Monster: Absolute Authority[S]".]

[You have Developed the Skill "Tamed Monster: Merge[S]".]

[You have Developed the Skill "Tamed Monster: Evolve [S]".]

[Your Stats have increased massively!]

Arthur's eyes opened wide, and just when he was about to call out his System Window,

Grrrr-

Just when his excitement was reaching stratospheric levels, reality comes in to slap Arthur across the face.

A Wolf's ferocious growl echoed from behind him, and Arthur slowly turned around.

"Can I tame it?" He asked with a nervous smile.

[For a Monster to be turned into a Tamed Monster, it needs to either accept you as its Master or be made to accept you as its Master.]

"So Monsters that like me, and Monsters that I weaken enough that they don't have a choice…" Arthur stepped back as he gulped.

The Black Wolf walked closer, its sharp fangs hungry for a kill.
