him. “Max, return,” Ex shouted. Max went to Ex’s side. The girl’s eyes widened. “You’re a tamer?” She asked as she got closer with her sword aimed at the two. “Yeah. Thanks for trying to kill my companion” Ex told her. She walked over to him sheepishly clearly embarrassed in not knowing that Max was a tamed beast. “I’m Ex. This is Max.” Ex said pointing at Max. “Well, I’m Brooklyn. A rank E adventurer.” She announced to him. “I’m new to the capital. A rank F. My buddy is a rank G tamed beast. Rank G’s are only used for tamers’ beast and not used as a ranking for adventurers. “I’m actually looking for an inn for the night. Know of a good one?” Ex asked. “The Night Cat Inn is run by a nice old lady, Torina, and her daughter, Azlin,” Brooklyn responded. “Well, thank I’ll be on my way,” Ex said as he started walking off. “Uh…” She muttered. Ex looked at her as she tried saying something, but her lips locked up. “Excuse me! Why is there a beast in town!” A guard shouted. The guard was in a full set of armor and wore red hair. “He’s tamed,” Ex responded coldly. He was done dealing with people wanting to rid the capital of Max. “Is he registered? Has he attacked anybody?” The guard interrogated him. “He is and no,” Ex said walking away from the guard with a scoff. The guard did not like when people ignored him. He took out his sword and shouted “I challenge you to a duel. If I win then your beast must leave. If you win then I will leave you along.” Ex heard this and knew that they was no way of getting out through a peaceful resolution. “I accept.” He announced to the crowd that was forming around the two. Brooklyn looked on as she tried measuring Ex’s strength. She had the rare rank SS skill “Magic Eye” but his stats all said “n/a.” Chapter Six "Teo / Ex is shocked"

"I am rank C knight Teo.” He announced. “If you lose your beast must leave the capital. If you beat me then it may stay here… for now.” He told Ex. Ex rolled his eyes and got into a fighting stance wielding no weapon. “Let’s make this fair.” He said handing Ex a smaller sword. It was clear that Teo had more combat experience than Ex, but he could tell that he had stronger skills compared to Teo. Ex grabbed the sword and held it awkwardly. “Is magic permitted?” Ex asked. “Since you don’t seem like a swordsman and it would be a good experience to fight a magic-user.” He said arrogantly. Teo held up his sword and rushed at Ex. This surprised Ex as his guard was dropped during their preparations. Ex activated his “Forcefield” which blocked Teo’s first attack. Teo was taken back by the sudden “Forcefield” and Ex’s chantless magic. “He can activate magic without chanting. His abilities rival the Black Dragon.” Teo thought. Ex used that time to also activated his “Physical Enhancement.” He opened his menu and noticed his MP (Magical Points) were steadily dropping [HP: 200 (Average person is 50 - 75) | MP: 400 ( Average person is 125 - 200) | Ex has four skills while the average person has zero to one skill]. Ex deactivated his “Forcefield” and rushed at Teo. Teo fought back and their swords clashed. Unfortunately for Teo, Ex’s Physical Enhancement” was pushing Teo’s sword back to him. Teo was being crushed under the weight. That’s when Teo decided to use the skill he was hiding. “Division” created three clones of the user and they operate individually. Teo and his three clones surrounded Ex and each held a sword. Ex quickly activated his “Forcefield” eliminating any chance for Teo and his clones to injure him. His “Forcefield” doesn’t have a large radius and isn’t very strong especially against four targets. Teo and his clones were still close to him as the forcefield didn’t reach far. Ex used his “Creation: Light” to blind Teo and the clones. Then he used light: fire to take out two of the clones. He roasted their bodies alive and when their HP fell to zero then they disappeared instantly. Only Teo and one more clone remained. Ex knew “Creation: Darkness” is a rare skill and is extremely dangerous to use without restrictions. He used his fire skill once again and hit the last clone leaving only Teo. Teo fell back realizing he was fighting a losing war. “I surrender.” He announced kneeling to Ex. Ex’s concentration broke and he noticed the stares of those around him. He used a total of four skills which shocked everybody including Brooklyn. “You may keep your companion with you.” He said. “This Diamondrock wolf will be allowed to stay in the capital and nobody is allowed to touch him nor his master.” He announced. “I’m surprised. He isn’t trying to badmouth me. He’s actually supporting me and sees me as stronger than him. That must be why he kneeled down to me.” He thought. “At least he isn’t acting like a jerk to me as most people like him do in fantasy series.” He thought. “Thank you,” Ex told Teo. “I look forward to aiding you in the future,” Teo told him. “It seems like the capital isn’t as bad as I thought it would be,” Ex muttered.

Chapter Seven "Venom Spiders / New Fur"

Ex parted ways with Brooklyn and headed to an inn. Once there he got a room and unloaded his stuff on the bed. He rested on his bed while Max walked around the room restlessly. “Max, calm down. We’ve been on the road for a while. It’s okay to take a break every once in a while.” Ex said. Max barked in response. Max continued to keep barking. “Fine, fine, fine,” Ex said getting up from his bed and rolling his eyes. “Okay let’s go pick up a quest then,”  Ex said walking out of his room. Max followed him as they walked over to the guild and picked up a quest for subduing ten “Venom Spiders.” Ex then headed over to the cave where “Venom Spiders” lived in.

He walked into the cave with Max at his heels. “Hello!” Ex shouted. No response. They walked farther in before being ambushed by five spiders. “Max attack!” Ex shouted. Max rushed in using his claws to strike three of the spiders while Ex used his “Creation: Light” to attack from as far as he could. He struck the two remaining spiders with bolts of pure light. The light pierced the spiders and left a big hole in their torsos. Max finished off the three spiders and returned to Ex’s side. “Good job Max,” Ex told him while patting his head. They continued to go farther into the cave. They then found the nest where seven spiders resided. Ex decided to launch the first attack with his “Creation: Darkness” skill. His skill took control of any darkness in their nest and attacked the seven spiders. The darkness took its control of the spiders and slowly poisoned and crushed the spiders. Within five minutes the spiders were nothing left but ashes. “Creation: Darkness level up!” A notification popped up. “This skill is really dangerous and should only be used in emergencies.” Ex thought. Ex went over to grab their spoils and return to the guild where they got their rewards. Ex then went to his room and jumped onto the bed. He was now tired. He didn’t notice that the “Creation: Darkness” skill zapped his energy. He fell asleep quickly while Max took a little longer since he acts as a guard dog protecting his owner.

The next morning Ex woke up to see Max’s fur now green and black instead of its usual white and black. “Uh, what happened to you, Max?” Ex asked. Max stood there giving Ex a confused stare.

 

I will be out of state tomorrow and to keep my promise for Creation #7 I will upload this episode earlier. 

Chapter Eight "Evolution / Fateful Encounter?"

Max’s fur was now green and black instead of white and black. Max looked at himself seeing the difference. “How did this happen?” Ex asked himself. Max walked around the room showing off his new fur. Ex sat on his bed confused. He needed to find out what happened to Max. He left the room and went to the receptionist at the adventurers’ guild. Once there Ex asked the receptionist about Max’s fur color change.

“If a Diamondrock wolf kills a certain amount of monsters in a row then the wolf will evolve.” The receptionist informed Ex. “What monster have you been killing?”

“A Venom spider,” Ex answered.

“Then your wolf evolved to better deal with Venom spiders. The green and black fur reflect the Venom spiders colors.”

“Okay.”

“His fur will change in a matter of days. He’ll be back to normal.” She comforted him.

“Thanks,” Ex said walking out of the guild with Max in tow. He ran into Brooklyn on his way out.
