[Unnamed monster name given].[Name: Vigo]. ------------------Actually, Keith didn't give the monster this name judging by its looks and attitude. He had long been wanting to give his "Assistant" this name. Why? Because that was the same name he gave his dog pet back at his younger age. Keith was utterly sad when he lost Vigo who died from a life-sucking plague. So, this was why he wanted the memory of stay, unerased. 'From today, you are my Vigo.' Keith muttered within. Staring at the weak chained monster, Keith observed its features. Actually, he had titled it as "He" right? The monster has dark skin, and short fangs together with his weak tiny claws attached. His head was hairless, though a thick black crown-like object was affixed on his oval-shaped head. He had the structure of an Ape. His short four limbs were about 86 meters long as a result of being a weak newborn monster. All in all, this monster was more like an Ape. But with the looks of it, the monster wasn't bad at
Keith stood still like a statue before the man who was standing behind the darkness conveyed by one of the trees in the fields. It was as though Keith was being threatened with a revolver or being pierced by a spear to a wall.Keith tried to inspect the area that Vigo had followed into the forest, trying to know if Vigo was still somewhere around. But to a slight relief, Keith didn't see Vigo anymore. Now, he only hoped that this Silver-rank Awakened hadn't witnessed the Assistant Creation.Soon, the man began approaching Keith slowly, pointing his palms in Keith's direction, maybe to shield himself if Keith dared to attack. Gradually, Keith's face became clear as he approached and suddenly, this once angered face became calm and apologetic."Huh?! It's you, Awakened Keith?" The man said with a friendly expression, trying to force out a smile from his face.Surprised, Keith wasted no time before nodding positively. "Yeah, it's me," he answered."I'm so sorry for the harsh approach. I
'What... The... F**k.'Keith's eyes widened in shock. He stood motionless in one spot, his face aimed in a different direction. His fist was tightly clenched, pressing against his palms.He couldn't believe his ears right now... He couldn't believe any of it! At first, he wondered if it was Skyla who had truly made that statement, but who else would have said that if not her? His thought was so ridiculous that Keith, himself, had to curse inwardly.'You jerk.'Before attempting to turn in her direction, the system just had to congratulate him for completing his mission since he had kissed her earlier, even though it wasn't a deep one. A kiss is a kiss, isn't it?------------------[Mission Completed].[You have gained 50 Core Fragments].[You gained an additional 5 Core Fragments for a quick mission completion.

Their kissing session lasted for three minutes. Skyla wouldn't let go, and Keith was deeply enticed, his hands tightly holding her waist.Skyla closed her eyes, her hands resting on Keith's shoulders. She felt Keith's displaying romantic touch, making her slowly moan as though they were being intimate. However, Keith wasn't making any attempt to do that at all.They had been kissing for minutes, and Keith hadn't changed his stance nor moved his hands to any of her alluring body parts. He only kept kissing, though, the passion he had suddenly subsided, making her feel disappointed.The next moment, Keith had to let go of her waist. He tried to make her pull her body away from his, but Skyla held tightly, not wanting to let go.'Can you just let go, please!'Keith suddenly stopped holding her. He grabbed her shoulder and gave it a slight push, making her produce her usual slight and funny frown. She fixed her gaze on his shy yet tired face, blinking her lashes."What now, Keith?"Keith
Keith was standing in front of a mirror by the side of the room as he put on his dress, ready to begin his day.He wore a black lengthy shirt which was feebly connected to his plain trousers. The batch of his title as a Bronze-rank Awakened was fixed on his shirt's pocket, glowing boldly due to it being made of bronze.Upon dressing up, Keith recalled what happened last night. It wasn't about Skyla but about his skill. "I can't believe I slept off without knowing it," he muttered.Blinking his lashes, the system popped up in an instant, showing his new skill. --------------------[New skill: Strings of Thunder]. [Skill Description: You possess the capacity to create more than one thunderstring in one move]. ---------------------Keith's eyes lit up. "Huh?" Confused, he couldn't help but ask more questions. "What do you mean?" -------------------[Previous Skill: String of Thunder (a single string)]. [New Skill: Strings of thunder (more than one string)]. ------------------Kei
As the monsters charged forward, Keith and Vigo also approached them with speed. Keith summoned his Level 2 longsword on his way, and he slashed through the air, ready.*Rrrrrrrrr!*Vigo kept roaring at the top of his lungs, making this upcoming battle more interesting. He hit his claws together as he leaped forward, as though sharpening a knife.'Go harder, buddy.'Keith saw Vigo's act, and his only reaction was that motivational thought. Vigo was faster than him, and he wasn't too far from the terrifying Tier-1 again, while Keith was still about sixty minutes distant from them.But anyway, he was actually running with all his might and even getting exhausted.Keith hadn't eaten for a while now. Well, he didn't bother to because he didn't want to. The meal from the system canteen sustained him for long, though Keith's stomach was grieving now.Reducing his speed, tired, he muttered: "My attributes must have reduced by now. I have to fill up my gut before being killed by those things.

Keith shouted in excitement, his cheeks widening for a wide, cute smile. He kicked the dead A-rank Brutality Vulcra's head with an intense impact... "You motherfucker!" Rrrr! Vigo dashed out from nowhere, bouncing on Keith's body with soft touches. Staring at him, Keith teased:"I was a little disappointed, Viggy... But anyway, you did a great job there. Your distractions made them exhausted."Keith gave Vigo a thumb up, and turned around, observing the area. "I wish I could see a Tier-2 monster... I'll be the happiest mage in the world," he muttered. Keith was motivated after his victory against t
Keith's reaction...It wasn't a shock.It wasn't bewilderment. It wasn't anger... But... Happiness? Yeah, missed with his sudden widened eyes was a mix of happiness. Keith actually couldn't believe his eyes at the moment. His cheeks enlarged, forming a wide and amusing smile that almost made Skyla furious.But... The issue was that why was Keith happy instead of being sad and depressed after hearing what Skyla had said. The system had promised his death if anyone knew about it, and he had just discovered that Skyla already knew about it. Why smile? Why was he rejoicing in the face of extinction? It was ridiculous, though, but what if it wasn't at all?Keith hasn't told Skyla anything about the system before... She might have been seeing him acting strange lately, but Keith could swear that he hadn't mentioned the name of the system set since he met Skyla — Not even when he was alone in his chamber. With this in mind, Keith never panicked. And even if he had a slight bit of it, he d
