Chapter Five:
Crow walked through the dense forest, his eyes scanning the surroundings with his Eye of Insight. He wasn't here for anything in particular—just exploring, testing his talents, and seeing what the world had to offer. The air was thick with the scent of pine and earth, the sound of rustling leaves accompanying every step he took.
Despite the weak stats the game had given him, Crow was still perceptive—his Eye of Insight allowed him to notice even the smallest details, like the shimmering glow in the distance.
As he ventured deeper into the forest, something strange caught his attention.

Divine Potential Detected!
---
Crow's heart skipped a beat. Divine Potential? He hadn't expected to find something like this, especially not in a low-level area like this forest. His mind raced as he processed the data.
Nine-Tailed Fox… Could it be? Was this the legendary beast that had been known in various mythologies? The one with the incredible power to control fire and manipulate illusions?
But then he paused. No. This fox couldn't evolve into the Nine-Tailed Fox without him. Its potential was dormant—it needed Crow.
The realization hit him like a lightning bolt. This was his opportunity.
---
The fox, with its orange-red fur and vibrant blue eyes, stood near a clearing, completely unaware of Crow's presence. He could see it, perfectly calm, surrounded by an aura of mysterious energy that seemed to beckon him closer.
Crow approached carefully, his footsteps quiet. The Eye of Insight had already confirmed its potential, but now, he had to act. He had Unlimited Contracts, but he needed to complete the taming process.

Eye of Insight: Analyzing the Beast's Soul...
Fox (Divine Potential): Unlocks the Nine-Tailed Fox form when tamed by a powerful individual.
Status: Potentially hostile, but can be tamed by the Beast Tamer with the correct approach.
---
Crow's lips curled into a confident smirk. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
He took a deep breath, and with a steady hand, he activated his Taming Ability. A golden light enveloped his body, and his focus narrowed to the creature before him. He could feel the connection growing, a bond slowly taking shape between him and the Divine Fox.
The fox's ears twitched, its eyes narrowing as it felt the connection. It wasn't hostile—no, it was more curious, almost as if it was testing Crow's will.
But Crow was unwavering. His Eye of Insight guided him, and with his SSS-Rank Taming Ability, he pushed forward.
---
The process was long, but Crow was persistent. The fox began to relax, its posture softening as it accepted Crow's will. The golden light enveloped it fully, and just as it seemed ready to resist, Crow's voice echoed in its mind:
"I am your master. You are mine."
The fox blinked, and in that moment, the bond was sealed.
---
[Taming Successful.]
---
Crow exhaled slowly, his heart still racing. He had done it. He had tamed a beast with Divine Potential. The fox's form shimmered, its eyes glowing a bright blue, and its body seemed to radiate with untapped power.
