"Show me one of these Luminous-Stones if you have any on you." Aaron ordered while watching boys and girls around his age come running towards their family members.

Chief Chadrion nodded before gesturing with his chin to his oldest son to follow the command.

Kanderion walked towards the biggest tent in the center of the campsite but one girl was in a hurry to reach the Chief's direction and both of them ended up bumping shoulders.

"Ey! Watch where you're going little pipsqueak." Kanderion smirked before getting on his way without looking back.

The girl sneered before retorting : "Says the whipped mutt! Or should I say... Slapped. I hear the brat called it Bitch-Slap, it suits your ugly mug. Bitch."

Kanderion stumbled and barely managed to regain his balance before falling face first then quickly picked himself up from the ground and hurried towards his father's tent, when the laughter from behind washed over him the young man's face went black from embarrassment.

The feisty girl pushed all those who stood in her way aside and walked up to Aaron before asking : "You the kid who toyed with my big brother and bullied Fang yesterday?"

"Who's asking?" Sherry walked up and confronted the girl who's the same age like herself.

"I see you're the type of person who hides behind girls skirts," The girl looked over Sherry's shoulder and smiled before taking a step forward and looked the maid right in the eyes from a dangerously-close distance where their lips almost touched and both of them could feel their breath on each others' face, "Name is Chronica, daughter of Cadena and Chadrion. Eldest daughter and future Chieftess of Wolf-Gang, happy now princess? Or should we take this to bed to find out what you're really made of between these long and beautiful legs of yours!"

The teenager girl blushed and revealed some panic within these wide eyes of hers when the members of the Wolf-Gang started to whistle and laugh.

"Heh." Aaron laughed before appearing right next to Chronica and grapping her hand then disappearing with her before reappearing back on Wind Claw's back, but this time he was alone while the Chief's daughter was nowhere to be found.

Right when the people were looking everywhere and searching for the girl they heard her screaming but the source of that voice wasn't coming from anywhere in their surroundings but actually from above!

Looking up they saw Chronica flailing both arms and legs in the air while freefalling towards the ground.

The kid smiled widely before saying lazily : "Yeah, I thought as much."

Afterwards he Teleported right next to her within an arms' reach before asking : "I see you're the type who can't fly huh! How about saying the magic word?"

"Save me!" Chronica attempted to grab-onto the boy but he disappeared.

Once Aaron appeared above her she saw him smile widely like the devil himself while saying : "Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Wrong answer there, you've got about 8 Seconds before you splatter on the ground."

The girl looked down at the ground which kept getting closer and closer and along-with it comes her end, "I'm sorry! I'm fucking sorry! Alright?" She closed her eyes and shouted these words while crying honest tears.

Once she felt her body landing on a pair of strong arms Chronica opened her eyes and through the layer of tears she saw her father's face but once she opened her mouth to speak the girl covered her father with whatever she had in her stomach!

"Hahaha... Just like good old days when you were a baby eh little pipsqueak!" Kanderion came running while holding a small wooden box under his arm.

The rest of the Wolf-Gang were amused by the scene and laughed but Chadrion was annoyed after getting splashed without warning while his usually brave and daring daughter was too embarrassed and more so dizzy to withstand the mental pressure.

Chronica looked towards the kid who sat on top of Wind Claw and smiled before her eyes rolled in their sockets and she fainted right then and there.

Chief Chadrion rolled his eyes at this daughter of his before giving her to one of the women in his gang while saying : "Luska. Take your big sister to her tent, make sure she gets some milk once she wakes up."

"Yes Chief." Luska answered before following the order.

"A pain in my ass," The topless man muttered while taking the wooden box from his oldest son, "The whole lot of you bastards!" Then whacked Kanderion on the back of his head.

"Ouch!" The young man held his head before saying : "Why did you do that for old man?"

Chadrion squinted his eyes at his son before growling : "What? You think you're too big and strong now to challenge your old man?"

Kanderion rolled his eyes before retorting : "When did I do that? You're picking a fight for no reason here!"

The Chief rolled his eyes while thinking : 'Yeah you didn't you moron! That's exactly why I'm angry at you since your little sister was being so open about it, maybe you should thank the kid for doing you a little favor.'

Aaron on the other hand ignored the family drama and appeared at a clearing East of the campsite then linked this diagram with the three he created recently.

"Let's go Chief, you could really use a bath and I'm willing to lend you one of my bathrooms." The kid called the group over after activating the Mystique-Door Skill.

The Wolf-Gang were shocked once they saw people from the Axe-Gang, Head-Reapers Army, and some strange soldiers in Black Armor within the boy's house through the four-way portal.

But after seeing something massive like Nina's Poisonous Stone-Centipede cross that portal, the members of the Wolf-Gang followed after Pio, Lucas, Sherry, Rhinne, and Aeona.

Especially when the aromatic smell of Todd and Betty's excellent cooking was coming from one of the directions on the other side!

*Meow*

Right when Aaron was taking his place on the table, he looked back towards the portal behind him and saw some cute-looking black kitten cross-over from Chief Chadrion's territory.

"Piss off little bastard." One of the kids who followed the seniors of their gang was about to kick the kitten but his body froze and everyone saw Aaron get down from his chair and go grab the kitten by the scruff of its neck and raise it up in front of his eyes then stare at it while it flailed its paws weakly.

Shadow Panther : Cub, Female, Malnourished, Touched by Darkness.

That was the information he got once he activated Identify to check the details of this kitten.

Half-Blood's Nemesis (Phase-Two) Phase Details You've been spotted by a minion of the Darkness-Emissary Phase Requirement Trace and Destroy the Darkness-Emissary in 20 Days Phase Reward Take control over 10% of the Darkness Seal's power Note

* The Darkness-Emissary can't be allowed to report Host's location to higher echelons and must be stopped by any means necessary.

* Host is in grave danger in failure scenario and getting chased by foes many times over his current abilities is most definitely a possibility.

* Punishment of failure is dropping 10 Levels and the permanent loss of 150 Ability Points.

'This little fucker! Now I'm forced to find that so-called Darkness-Emissary in 20 Days or get chased like a dog by many nasty fuckers.' Aaron thought after checking the details of the second phase in his Main Story-Line Quest.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

'But this little thing isn't a kitten at all and a Panther of all felines which is one of my favorites! Fuck, now I'm tempted and there's no way for me to resist especially when I have all the means within my grasp.' The kid immediately bought 3 Summoning Crystals.

*Ku-Ku*

Sherry's pet was startled once it spotted the items in the boy's hand and hid itself behind its close friend, after all it got a taste of what happens when this boy uses these Crystals.

Aeona squinted her eyes because the feeling she's getting from these Black Crystals is almost the complete opposite of what she feels from the Luminous-Stones within the chest Chadrion left on the table before getting let by a soldier in Black Armor towards the luxurious bathrooms in this amazing house!

*Hiss*

The black kitten hissed at the kid and its eyes glowed red once it noticed the 3 Summoning Crystals, it attempted to escape but Aaron firmly held it before putting his hand on its head then activating Monster-Tamer.

The people in the backyard watched everything happen and the ones standing close to the kid were warned by the maid and they retreated and watched the diagram which appeared on the floor and another appeared underneath the palm which the boy put on the kitten's head.

System : Brand failed, the monster resisted the Host

*Meow*

'Is that the best you can do?' Aaron almost coughed blood once he heard this thought ring within his mind and felt like his head was hit by a sledgehammer from the inside.

Looking at the Shadow Panther Cub he saw a smirk at the corner of its mouth!

"Don't get cocky you little Runt!" The kid growled before choosing to Evolve the Neutral-Class Skill Monster-Tamer and watched as 90k of his Gold Coins vanished into thin air while the Skill-Leaf on the Neutral-Class Skill-Branch wither and fall before another Side-Branch sprouted from that location.

The new Side-Branch had one Leaf available for him while the remaining 3 Leaves were locked but the price to unlock these Leaves is no longer 1 Neautral-Class Skill Point but 2, 3, and 4!

'Damn son! This system either really, really hate you or it's just your natural predator.' Aaron thought before buying 10 Summoning Crystals.

Beast-Master Enables the Host to use a great amount of Mana plus a lot of Summoning Crystals to wipe out Beast's wild nature and animosity towards the person chosen as master. Beast-Master Level 1 Mana Points Cost 2,000 Requirements 10 Summoning Crystal Duration 1 Minute Cooldown 45 Minutes Proficiency Points 0/100 Notes

* The Beasts being targeted must have a total count of Basic-Five Attributes less than 500 higher than the Host otherwise the process would certainly fail.

* Host can Telepathically-Communicate with the Beasts he Tames from a long distance which depends on Beast-Master's Level.

* Host can still sense the location of his Beasts outside the Communication-Range.

'Wait! I ca-'

"Too late for regret now!" Once the voice trying to communicate with him through his thoughts sensed the danger and attempted to negotiate, Aaron smiled before activating Beast-Master for the first time ever.

The people which moved back earlier when the diagram of the Monster-tamer Skill appeared on the ground had to move further back when the much bigger and much more complicated diagram of the Beast-Master Skill appeared!

All of them could see black smoke rising from these lines and inscriptions on the ground which made them feel like some Demon was about to be summoned in this place.

*Meow*

The black kitten's eyes gradually lost the redness in their color and were soon replaced by a blue color which deepened further until everyone thought there's a pair of round Blue Topaz in these eye-sockets.

But soon afterwards black smoke came out from the kitten's tiny head and formed a weird symbol which looked a lot like Bat-Wings yet somewhat different before cracking everywhere like a piece of glass then fragmenting into smaller pieces and dissipating into ash once it hit the floor before the boy's feet.

"Is it dead?" Rhinne asked with a tough of worry in her voice once she saw the kitten's head dropping lifelessly after the diagram vanished from the ground and things seemed to settle down at last.

"No." Lucy shook her head before walking forward and squatted next to the kid to take a look at the ash on the floor before grapping a bunch of it and bringing it closer to her eyes and carefully sniffing it then added : "There's a residue of Soul power on this ash, something was definitely controlling this poor kitten! How did you notice? I couldn't feel anything at all."

"I did." Heena said before explaining before Lucy could get a chance to bombard her with questions : "When little Ron attempted to do "Whatever" he was doing in the beginning I could hear this kitten say "Is that the best you can do?" and when Ron got serious it tried to say something but he didn't give it a chance to say more and chased it out from the kitten with this weird Technique of his, now it's ash."

"The one controlling this kitten is still alive somewhere, but I'm planning to track that Dark-Emissary down and destroy it for good." Aaron said before retrieving one All-Cure Potion and emptying it in the mouth of the unconscious Shadow Panther Cub.

Seeing how weak, sickly, and thin it is made him frown while thinking : 'Its condition is extremely worrying indeed.

'I guess it needs something extremely nourishing to truly recover the vitality it lost and something else for its Soul but I guess these three can handle that part.

'I just hope that thing isn't too strong for it but I was going to start with small dozes anyway.'

"Can you guys help me heal Paws Soul? At least make sure it stays stabilized if you can't" Aaron looked towards the 3 Whispering Sisters and requested politely.

Lucy looked at the Shadow Panther Cub, "You named it Paws. Cool name! I like it."

"Fitting." Heena nodded before approaching to check on the state of the Beast's Soul.

Nina shrugged and gathered around the boy with her Sisters.

However, once the kid removed the cover of the wooden-flask which he retrieved from "Wherever" he keeps storing all sorts of novelties.

Everyone watching could see the colorful clouds coming from the wooden-flask and feel their hearts beating loudly within their chests and the knowledgeable ones had the same thought : 'Aura! Whatever inside this wooden-flask has Vital-Aura.'

But Aaron calmly and carefully tilted the wooden-flask on top of Paws mouth and allowed a single drop of Reindeer Milk to fall into its throat.

The people watching gulped loudly and enviously stared at this little kitten while wishing if they could trade places with it!

Even after the white drop entered its throat, there's this colorful trace of clouds and the 3 Honorable Sisters were enjoying being the closest to it.

"What did you give it? I've never heard about anything like this before, such a strong, rich, and highly-concentrated Vital-Aura is... so mindbogglingly amazing!" Lucy leaned closer and sniffed at the opening of the wooden-flask which caused her to feel like she's drunk after inhaling so much of this colorful vapor.

The kid smiled and shook his head before closing the flask and gave Paws to Nina after confirming that her physical-condition is no-longer critical or needing immediate attention from him anytime soon.

"You guys take care of her Soul while I handle some stuff with the Marshal and the rest, I promise to make it up for you later." After saying so he went towards the basement after gesturing for Phyllia, Chadrion, and the rest to follow.

'Damn! It's getting overly crowded in here, I better put these guys to work or I'll be making a terrible loss in that deal with that Gerand fellow.'
