Leaving the star tower, Max was hugging the mountain fairy in his arms.
The little thing was curious about everything, looking around at the skyscrapers.
Are those mountains? She wondered.
however, the bustling environment of the city made the little fairy scared, so she didn't attempt to leave Max's arms.
Stopping a taxi, Max planned on heading to the nearest the hotel. Since money was in hand, he no longer planned to stay in the orphanage.
On the way, he stopped at an electronic shop to get a laptop with the latest self charging battery.
....
sometime later..
Max jumped on the bed. By now it's already midnight, and he already checked into the hotel.
Looking at the Curious Mountain fairy checking the hotel room, curiously, but obviously disappointed.
Max chuckled, don't worry, we won't be staying here for long. Come here.
The fairy flew to Max's side. Looking at him with her tiny eyes, waiting for him to speak.
Taking out the pet contract from the space ring.
Max activated the contract.
The reason he didn't use it back on the star tower is because he was afraid the simulator will do something about it.
From what he understood about the simulator, it will affect anything related to pets, so being careful, he waited until now.
As the pet contract took effect. Indeed, the simulator took action.
Max started emitting blue light, and the blue light seem to be shining on the fairy.
he knew that the contract did not have such a visual effect.
So it can only be the simulator.
after sometime the process was finished, and Max could feel the spiritual link between them.
From now onward, the two of them are a pet, and a pet master.
The mountain fairy circled around Max happily.
Max had a faint smile on his face.
well since you're my first pet, I'm going to give you a special name, Lucy. my actual mother's name.
Lucy, the mountain fairy.
Lucy was flying around everywhere excitedly, slapping Max's head from time to time. She seems to really like her new name.
Max was a little confused about her actions.
Never mind, come here. Let's start your first simulation.
You could clearly feel the excitement in Max's voice.
Lucy obediently sat on Max's hand.
Simulator start.
[ding, please pick a world ].
[ding, please be aware, that once you lock on a world, you can't change it, in till the Simulated pet can grow to the peak power level of the locked world].
[different parallel worlds will be detected, every detected world coordinate will only be kept for 2 weeks].
[ding, the simulator will be using the power rankings of this world to make it easier for the host to understand the situation.].
[current available world coordinates.]
[ saint realm. S Rank ] +
[hawtan world. B+ rank ] +
[ martial world. E rank ] +
[ mining outpost number 0734. C rank ] +
Max took a moment to understand everything, then he clicked the + next to each world.
Currently, Lucy isn't even an F rank now. If she were to fight a chicken, then the winner won't be easily determined.
So he didn't plan to send her to a strong world, although such a world must have many opportunities, however max wasn't sure Lucy can survive more than one day inside.
[Martial world] a world with a very low technological level, stuck in the ancient times.
A Chaotic land filled with wars and strive.
Because the humans operate in a very small area, the ecosystem is mostly unaffected, keeping its natural beauty.
Low level martial arts are the dominant powers system.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
Highest power level recorded : E rank.
After thinking deeply max, chose the martial world.
the mountain fairy didn't need much supernatural energy to develop in the early stage because it can absorb mountains directly.
This unique species is both a Symbiote, and a parasite at the same time, when she merged with a mountain, it's natural ability, is to propel the mountain to grow faster, and stronger at the same time the fairy will grow with it as well.
when the mountain reaches its peak potential unable to grow anymore, the fairy will devour everything within the mountain going a step further.
Although this was all just a deduction from the experts in the field.
....
Lucy, listen to me. When you're alone, go find a mountain and take control of it to grow stronger. Do you understand?
Lucy nodded cutely, but max could tell she most probably didn't understand.
Max wanted to explain a few more things to Lucy, but she most probably wouldn't remember any of it.
Simulator lock on the martial world and start the simulation.
[ Ding, lock on successfully]
[ please pick a starting location. ]
A 3d holographic projection of the martial world appeared in front of max.
Sht there's even a map function, alright Lucy, for the first time I will just throw you next to a random mountain.
This map function is super useful, but now max didn't have much information about this world, and the map was a bit vague,so he picked a mountain range at random.
[simulation starting]
Lucy's eyes lost focus at this moment.
[ ding, in the first year you found yourself in an unfamiliar land, you started looking for your pet master].
[on the second year, you were starving. Luckily you found some food here and there from time to time, but never enough to be full ].
[ on the third year, hungry, scared, and lonely, you suddenly remembered your pet master's words. You stopped looking for your pet master and looked for a mountain instead].
Looking at the text, max was speechless.
Good guy, three years, a full three years to remember.
Max felt a little moved, this little guy kept looking for him for a three years, but also a little speechless.
[ on the fourth year, you kept looking for a mountain; you seem to be lost in the wilderness; you remembered that you were spawned, next to a mountain, but you forgot its location.]
Good guy, this girl, isn't she too...? Stupid, can't you just fly up and take a look, it's a mountain, a fking mountain, how can you lose a mountain?
Max had a dead fish expression on his face, at this point, max was kind of surprised this little guy survived this long.
[ on the 7th year, you were attacked by a big bird, and fell into the river, you somehow drifted next to a mountain.]
Sigh.. Finally, Max didn't blame Lucy. After all, it's her first simulation, plus although she is over 20 years old, to the mountain fairy, she is nothing but a child.
[ on the 7th year, you excitedly started trying to activate your innate ability . You failed].
Max'. - _-
[ on the 8th year, you kept trying to activate your innate ability, but you failed again, and again, and again . ]
[ on the 9th year, you gave up, and started living on the mountain..
[on the 12th year, you already had the ability to survive on the mountain with little worry, although the mountain is dangerous, but with your ability to fly you managed to handle yourself.]
Max lost all hope at this point. This simulation is a waist, poor little Lucy isn't ready.
I will simulate again after I teach her for a few days.
Looking at the simulator, max was surprised, because Lucy seem to be about to make a comeback.
[On the 18th year, you remembered your pet master, and attempted to activate your innate ability again. Unsurprisingly, you failed again, but you made up your mind to keep trying].
[on the 24th year, like usual, you attempted to activate your innate ability, you surprisingly succeeded, excitedly you turned into a cluster of green light and merged with the mountain.]
[ on the 25th year, you could only control a few meters of land. More importantly, your control is too low. All you can do is make the grass wave a little. After that you felt exhausted and fell in deep slumber.]
[ on the 29th year you awoke, because in this form you could obtain nutrition directly from the mountain. You didn't feel hungry even though you slept for 4 years. You started to refine the mountain taking more land ].
[ on the 33th year, your progress was slow, even though this mountain didn't have a spirit, thus offering no resistance towards you,].
[ on the 60th year, you already refined half of the mountain, and your innate ability [ mountain ruler) was fully activated entering the initiation stage].
Looking at this, max was happy. Even though Lucy isn't too smart, she seems to be improving slowly and steadily.
[ on the 72th year, because of your innate ability, your refinement speed accelerated, and you successfully refined the entire mountain, becoming one with the mountain.
But because you were exhausted, you fell into slumber again].
Good guy, she actually done it, Lucy. I wronged you, I definitely wronged you, although it took over 70 years. She somehow done it.
Well, it is to be-expected, after all, once the fairy merged with the mountain, there are few things that can actually harm her.
Unless someone has some powerful ability to deal with spirits, or to destroy the entire mountain.
So, from that point on, survival isn't an issue.
This is why max picked the martial world. Lucy can grow slowly in such a world, slowly figuring out her powers.
[ on the 98th year, you finally awoke, feeling stronger than ever. You started experimenting with your powers, but to your disappointment, your control over the mountain is still so weak.
Actually, right now, it seems even weaker than when you were controlling just a few meters of land. You can't even move grass at this point ].
[ on the 100th year, you felt bored, using your new 360 degree vision, kept looking for anything fun to watch, but finding nothing of interest.
[ ding, simulation reaches the upper limit of 100 years, ending the simulation.].
