Chapter 2
A month had gone by me and Nox had established a routine I was now jogging 3 miles a day and after our jog me and Nox would hunt something. It was a pretty solid routine i'm glad I remembered how to make a fire because from what I learned from Nox only people with classes pertaining to the elements can actually use magic to create fire, wind, earth, and water I asked about light and dark magic Nox said it doesn't exist but, there are still many uses for mana even if your class can't use elements everyone with mana can enhance there body and the more you train it the stronger it becomes I have been keeping it on non stop whenever I am awake it's draining but it's slowly getting easier everyday I can feel it taking less and less out of me I'm not strong enough to enhance my full body so I am keeping it on both of my legs at all times and slowly increasing the area every week.
Nox seems to be getting stronger as well she grew a whole 2 feet so far she's sitting at 7 feet and yes Nox is a girl that whole conversation was pretty awkward I thought Nox was a guy. All in all I think I've had a pretty productive 3 months of life I still haven't started training my muscles I wont start for another 5 years or I could damage my body. Nox told me more about this world it seems everyone on this world has levels but it is different for Monsters & Animals than it is for Humanoid races Monsters & Animals once reaching level 100 can evolve they can't choose what they evolve into but that's where Monster Tamer comes into play a Monster Tamer can choose the evolution of there tamed monster but it seems most people don't bother leveling there tamed monsters they expect them to be a certain strength from there start but it is understandable why army's don't invest into monster tamers.
If they want strength they can't wait and hope the monster they invested so much into turns into something great they need reassurance that the investment they make will turn out to be useful. As for humanoid races there levels never stop from what I heard from Nox the strongest humanoid to walk this planet was a beast-man known as Kaizek his level was over 183 from the story Nox told me Kaizek was thrown into a great depression when the beast king slew his family and executed his wife in front of him after doing this the king ordered Kaizek to be thrown into the abyss which is unexplored land full of dangerous monsters but, in the end Kaizek surpassed all odds and killed monsters in the abyss non stop for 30 years until he was strong enough to kill the king.
The day Kaizek slayed the beast king he dissapeared but not before splitting apart all the beast races now they all live in different tribes away from each other Kaizek is said to still be alive somewhere in the abyss lands apparently after your level surpasses 200 your lifespan becomes almost immortal and Kaizek was incredibly close to reaching that mark.
As I was finishing up my daily jog I heard a cry for help but it sounded in my head I didn't actually hear anything I was confused for a second before I heard Nox say
“ Massster thisss way “
completely confused with the situation I had no choice but to follow. Nox was going top speed almost leaving me in the dust but, thankfully she slowed down enough for me to still see her. Once we came out of some bushes what I saw was a lone fox being backed into a corner by a 3 wolfs it was quite a peculiar fox is was pure white like the purest snow but it had bright yellow eyes that really stood out. As I collected my thought I told Nox
“ Go around and attack the one on the left again kill it as fast as possible “
Nox didn't speak but I felt her feelings and she soon sped off to attack the right wolf as she did I slowly creeped around to left wolf. Even though all I can do is infuse mana into my hands I was once a hitman this much is enough to kill wolf my mana infusion has gotten stronger it cuts much deeper now.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Once I saw Nox lunge at the right wolf and dig her fangs into its neck I waited for the left wolf to look up and see what was happening in his confusion I struck charging forward I pushed the tips of my fingers as deep as I could into the wolfs chest right where his heart was I felt my fingers pierce his flesh and continue into his heart until his lifeless body fell onto me but, with that it was not done there was still one wolf left. Looking at where Nox was I spoke to her
“ Nox together “
Nox started to move forward as did I The wolf started to run towards me seeing I was weaker but before he could Nox latched onto his neck and soon after he died. Cleaning myself off with some magic Nox taught me it's a cleaning spell everyone in this world learns usable by anyone with mana you just have to will your mana to clean the impurities off your body only actual spells that deal with the elements have actual chants.
Soon after finishing I looked towards the fox still sitting there cowering I walked up slowly to the fox before I heard in my head
“ Get away please don't hurt me “
I was shocked I had never heard anyone but Nox I cleared my head and responded out loud
“ I am not here to hurt you I just happened to hear you and wanted to know why I was hearing you in my head “
the fox seemed confused
“ You can hear me? Hmm you are strange human mother always told me one day I would meet one like you the one I would be destined to be with. “
I was a bit confused with the response I didn't know what to say
“ Um destined to be with? “
the fox glared at me for a bit before saying
“ Yes destined as in this was meant to be so do it human put your hand on my head and will it into me tame me “
shocked by the situation I didn't know if I should go through with this or not until I heard a familiar voice
“ Massster you ssshould tame thisss one ssshe isss of the ssstar fox race although quite common they are rarely ssseen outssside of a pack ssso they are quite hard to tame. “
taking in what Nox had just said I had decided so I mustered up all the mana I could placed my hand on the fox's head and released it all afterwards I felt something tingly in my head as if I was being connected with something then I saw a bright flash and it ended. Once I got my sense back I looked for the fox and as soon as I saw her I calmed down
“ stop calling me the fox I have a proper name and it is Sakura given to me by my mother “
I was a little confused but finally said
“ Hello Sakura my name is Marcus and this is Nox welcome to our family “
and like that another eventful day had gone by.
