Chapter 2 - Beast Tamer

[Chicken Lord]

Rank: Unique

Details: You possess great affinity with chickens and now hailed as the Lord of all chickens. You are their master and they will follow your will. 

Effect: [Lord of Chickens: You can command all chickens and they will absolutely listen to you.]

[Chicken Lord's Blessing: Every time you successfully tame a beast, you can grant them a random talent and you will also receive a random talent of the same rank. Note: Only work on chicken type beasts.]

… 

Staring at the talent panel in front of him, Kyson had a thoughtful look on his face. 

"Hmm, this talent, isn't it basically one that tells me to become a beast tamer?"

Kyson was originally going to go back to his house first and think hard about what class he should choose.

But with a talent like this, his class is basically predetermined already. 

Because only by picking beast tamer as his class will he be able to make use of this talent. 

If not, his talent will then become useless. 

Well, chickens will probably still follow him. 

But he wouldn't be able to make use of "Chicken Lord's Blessing".

Thinking about this, Kyson can't help but turn around and look at the cage behind him. 

Inside it, his only remaining chicken could be seen lying down while staring into the void. 

Seeing its stupid look, Kyson can't help but become skeptical. 

"Is there even any use for a chicken to listen to me?"

Glancing at his empty class on his panel, Kyson fell into a dilemma.

With the direction the world is heading currently, Kyson can roughly make a guess what the future will be like. 

Sooner or later, people on Earth will probably need to fight the monsters they saw in the crack in the sky before. 

By then, anyone without power will be at risk of dying at every turn. 

That's why choosing a class, a powerful one, is a must in this situation. 

Now, in front of Kyson, he has a choice. 

A choice whether to become a beast master to make use of his talent or choose another class and abandon his talent. 

Kyson thought about it for a while. 

Soon, a look of firm determination replaced the hesitation in his eyes. 

"Dang it! I'll just go for it and gamble with my life!"

Turning his attention to his character panel, Kyson went to class and chose beast tamer without hesitation. 

[You chose 'Beast Tamer' for your class. Do you confirm?]

[Yes | No]

Looking at the prompt that appeared in front of him, Kyson paused for a moment. 

But in the end, he still pressed 'Yes' and confirmed his choice. 

[Ding!]

[You successfully changed your class to 'Beast Tamer'.]

[You acquired the skill 'Tame'.]

[You acquired the skill 'Beast Space'.]

Along with the consecutive notifications, Kyson's body glowed with a soft white light. 

At the same time, basic information about players and beast tamers seems to have been inserted in his mind.

That process lasted for only three seconds before things went back to normal.

Kyson opened his eyes that closed at some point and looked at the notifications in front of him.

"This should be the initial skills of a beast tamer. Hmm, there's only two skills."

Thanks to the basic information he received when he selected a class, Kyson now has a certain understanding of these things.

For every class, they will receive two basic skills of their corresponding class when they make their choice.

These skills are all the same for people of the same class.

That means every beast tamer out there will also receive Tame and Beast Space when they choose their class.

Kyson opened the description for his newly acquired skills to get a better understanding of it.

[Tame] LV. 1

Description: Consume 100 mana to tame a creature. You can tame up to two creatures. 

… 

[Beast Space] LV. 1

Description: A portable living space of a beast tamer's tamed beasts. Can accommodate two tamed beasts.

… 

The skill description was precise and easy to understand. 

Kyson only took a glance at it and already got the gist of it. 

Next, he turned his attention back to the chicken inside the cage. 

"Well then, it's time to try out these skills."

Approaching the cage, Kyson opened it and took out the chicken. 

The chicken was pretty well-behaved in Kyson's arms and he caressed its smooth feathers.

Raising the chicken to his eye level, Kyson stared at it for a while and the chicken also stared back at him. 

After a few seconds, Kyson sighed. 

"Hays, no matter how I look at it, it feels like a waste to tame an ordinary chicken."

From the description of his skills, the number of creatures that he can tame right now is limited to two. 

This means that if he tames this chicken, he will only have one slot for another tamed beast.

Having one of your beast slots occupied by an ordinary chicken seems like a huge disadvantage for a newbie beast tamer. 

However, despite that, Kyson actually already made up his mind. 

Whether it seems like a huge disadvantage, Kyson still wants to try taking this chicken. 

This is all because of his unusual talent.

"Alright, I won't waste anymore time."

Saying that, Kyson focused his mind on the chicken in his hands.

The moment he received his skills, the way to use them also appeared inside his mind. 

So at this moment, Kyson unhesitatingly used his skill at the chicken. 

"[Tame]!"

The next second, Kyson felt something inside him being consumed and light shone on his palm. 

The light didn't last long before it subsided. 

Then, a new translucent interface popped up in Kyson's sight. 

[Ding!]

[You successfully tamed 'Slightly Mutated Chicken'.]

Besides the prompt for his successful taming, another interface appeared. 

This time, it looks a lot similar to his character interface. 

[Name: Slightly Mutated Chicken]

[Type: Tamed Beast(Kyson)]

[Talent: None]

[Strength: 3]

[Constitution: 4]

[Agility: 5]

[Spirit 3]

[Skills: Peck, Lay Eggs]

Looking at the screen in front of him, Kyson understood that this is the panel of his tamed beast, the chicken.

"Hays, I already expected it, but I still can't help but feel disappointed."

The low attribute values and the lack of useful skills just proves that taming a chicken is indeed not a good thing to do. 

However, Kyson didn't dwell on it for long since he already expected it. 

Instead, he glanced at his talent again and said, 

"Now, let's see if this talent can turn this rusty bicycle into a motorcycle."

Hoping that his bet wouldn't lose, Kyson immediately used 'Chicken Lord's Blessing'.
