Chapter 11 (First Tame)

Chapter 11 (First Tame)

Walking up the stairs and going inside my room it wasn't anything too special.

There was a bed and a desk next to the window.

Sitting down on the side of the bed I started feeling a little movement in my pocket.

...Oh I forgot about you.

Opening up my pocket I was greeted by a very happy looking snake face.

“How ya doin little buddy?” Scratching the snake's chin with the tip of my finger.

I never did give you a name huh. Now that I think about it your stats either...

[Inspection]

  ~No name~       

Gender: Female          Race: Dark wood snake (small)

A snake that likes to camouflage itself in the underbrush of the dark forest and hunt small prey.

Attribute: [Dark] [poison]

  Tamability: Available

“Huh, well I guess you're not a dude, I thought you were the whole time.”

Petting the small snake's head it gently pushed its head against my hand. Slowly sliding around my arm and finally coiling inside my hand.

I Think shes pretty happy.

I wonder if I can tame you.Your status does say Tameable.

Well I don't know the proper way for using the tame skill anyways... Putting her on the pillow of the bed she seemed worried about me putting her down as she tried to go back into my hand.

I quickly pet her head.

“All be right back don't worry.” I think she understands me. After I told her that all be back she obediently went back to the pillow.

Now that I think about it i'm going to need a name. Walking out the door to my room. I started walking away and thinking about a name for her.

I suddenly realized my mistake and quickly went back to my room door and locked it.

I gotta remember to lock the door. Walking away from the door I started thinking about names again… It's on the tip of my tongue… Hmm.

Somehow in my mindless walking I made my way back downstairs.

It was as quiet as ever. Walking over to the desk the same girl from earlier seemed to be writing things down in a book.

Walking over to the desk and standing in front of her. She doesn't even look at my face but continues to write inside her book.

“Yes what do you need?”

“Can I have a plate of food and a bowl of water?”

Looking up from her book with a questing looking on her face.

“Yeah sure whatever.”

Closing her book and starting walking to a smaller door to the right of the desk she shut the door behind her.

She soon returned with a small plate of food and a bowl of water. Putting it on the table and opening her hand next to it.

“2 copper coins. I don't know why you would need it though.”

Putting the two copper coins in her hand and putting the food in my inventory.

“Just because players don’t need to eat doesn't mean it has no flavour”

Even though it's not for me but for the snake. I don't wanna say anything suspicious.

Speaking of food in the game I wonder if there adding the food system i heard most foods have taste to them theres just no saturation in the game so basically no one picks up the [Cooking] skill.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

I might try to get that skill next.

It could prove useful. The Girl at the desk sat silently.

I started walking back and opening the door and she was just where I left her. Sitting pacentily on the pellow patiently.

Closing the door behind me and walking over to the bed. I Put the bowl next to her and she began to eat.

For how small she is she sure did eat a lot.

Sitting down on the bed she slithers into my lap. I started petting the top of her head.

I really got to think of a name for you.

Hm. jade? Not too corny. Maybe Zoe. Picking her up in my hand and bringing her to my face.

“How about luna?”

She started to move in my hand. She seems to like the name.

“Well then your names now luna” Scratching the top of her head.

*Ping*

“huh?”

(Would you like to permanently tame the [female dark wood snake].)

  [yes]     [No]

Well this is a new window.

“Well this is up to you. Do you want me to tame you?”

Looking down at luna she seemed overly happy.

“Well I guess you're alright with it.”

Clicking the yes button the window quickly blinked off flashing into a new window.

~Due to your affection with the monster being so high.

You have two choices of taming [Beginner taming seal] or [Intermittent taming seal].

Well I guess intermittent is better so I might as well use it.

A large white light engulfed Luna.

Soon a large red symbol appeared in the light moving from the light it hit my hand.

The symbol burned on my hand, the symbol on my hand faded and the light slowly darkened and tell it completely disappeared.

*Ping*

-Taming seal has been successful.

Please input a name. ________-

Putting in her name and closing the system screen.

“Alright all set..”

Wait where is she. Looking around on the bed she was nowhere to be found. It did say it was successful right?

I kept looking around the bed. That's when it caught my eye there was something black on my arm.

I could only barely see it.

Pulling up my sleeve revealed a small snake tattoo on my forearm. It was surrounded by small runes.

I'm not very good with runes yet but it looks like it's some kind of space magic.

*Ping*

  ~Due to you using [intermittent taming seal] your body is now used as a space to contain your familiars. These seals will look like Tattoos on the body and can be moved to another location of the body with concentration and practice.

-The larger the monster the larger the seal has to be.

- To summon your tamed monster, state the familiars name.

-To return it to the tattoo state [De-summon] and It will then go back inside the tattoo.

Well this is a unique way to go about it but I like it.

[Luna]

The tattoo glowed a faint blue and the snake image soon disappeared and luna was laying back on the bed.

“Good to see you.”

Petting the top of her head she started rubbing against my hand. I wonder if your status changed…

“Damn theres a lot more this time.”

You got some pretty useful skills there. Rubbing the top of her head.

Wait now that I think about the [Swimming] skills could help me with my quest luna is the perfect tame for stealth. This is just perfect.

“Luna do you mind helping pick a few flowers?”

scratching the bottom of her chin. Her tail began to shake a little bit back and forth.

“All take that as a yes.”

Well we should sleep for now picking luna up and putting her on the pillow next to me and laying in the bed I quickly went to sleep it feels just like normally accept much faster.
