Chapter Four: The Beasts of Novice Village
Crow walked through the heart of the Novice Village, scanning his surroundings with the sharp eye of his Eye of Insight. His gaze flicked over various NPCs, some of them offering quests, others simply walking around minding their own business. The place felt alive, but it was the beasts that caught his attention.
Even in this low-level area, the beasts that roamed freely had potential. The game hadn't unleashed its true power yet, but Crow could already see the latent abilities within each creature. They weren't the strongest—most were common or uncommon—but each one had something special.
Crow's eyes narrowed as he surveyed the first group of beasts by the village outskirts. They were simple, yet he could sense their evolutionary potential. He had no need to tame them now, but this was the beginning of building his army.

Crow observed each one with his Eye of Insight, silently analyzing their evolutionary paths and potential. They weren't strong enough to warrant taming at this moment. Instead, he'd let them grow stronger, waiting for the right time to claim them as his own.
The temptation was there. The Firefox, Thunder Hare, and Crimson Wild Boar all had potential, but they weren't the key to Crow's immediate plans. He needed more—something that would truly make him stand apart from the rest.
As he turned to leave, Crow couldn't help but grin. One day, he would tame every last one of them, transforming them into beasts beyond anyone's imagination. But for now, he needed to gather his strength.
