Flower Bell Fairy wants to create a contract with you, do you want to accept?

Cole was at loss feeling a soul force fuse with his body. He don't know what was happening but when he reads the sudden notification, he was shocked. This is the first time he encounter this and this was also the first time a beast initiated a contract with him. Although he only has two contracted beast, not counting the Blue Land Turtle since he's his defualt starter beast, still, he was the one who created the soul contract.

Eventhough this is not out of possibilities, it was still shocking when things happen for the first time.

Yes. Cole answer in his head. It was strange at first, nonetheless, it's still a piece of meat that fall from the sky. He can't just deny a good grace in front him.

Soulforce also leaves Cole's body and fuse with Bell. The process lasted for a few seconds 'till it was done.

Taming Successful! Soul contract has been establish.

After the contract was established, the Messiah Tree release an aura and enveloped Bell's tiny body. Bell's aura rose and his exp also increase from 83% to 99.9%. She is on the verge of breakthrough which is after sometime suddenly stopped. She was one step away from the next stage but seems like there is one thing that stops her.

Strengthening complete.

A notification appear. It seems like the aura the Messiah Tree released its aura to strengthen Bell.

Species Name : Flower Bell Fairy Beast Name : Bell Level : 20 (Tier 2 Elemental Beast) HP: 8000/8000 Energy : 18000/18000 EXP : 99.9% Loyalty : 90% Rank : Earth Potential : Arcane Affinity : Wood/Sound Innate Ability : Wood Aura Type : Elemental Fairy Beast Skill : Heal Pulse, Wood Essence Extract, Mental Shout, Heal Bell Evolution Path : Sky-rank Crystal Flower Bell Fairy

After strengthening, Bell's body almost crystallized while her flower outfit look more vivid and vitalize. If she looks beautiful and cute before then more than now.

"When a wild beast rank up from Tier to Tier 3 they need to form their beast crystal. Beast crystal is where all the mana of the beast reside. Just like how human form their own core and store all their mana there." Bell explain a while later after seeing Cole's amaze but clueless face.

Cole listen carefully to what Bell was saying. No one can explain how clueless he was regarding in this world. He was just playing the in-game on Earth when he suddenly wake up in another world. He even wakes up in a plain grassland without nothing in sight except the forest in his back. He even get inside the forest since he think that it was just a malfunction in the game.

"While since us Elementals were compose of pure mana energy, our body crystallized when we advance to Tier 3 stage. Our very own body crystallized and became the very beast core itself." Bell continue. "We were even born Tier 2 Elemental Beast. There is no Tier 1 Elemental Beast in this world."

Cole nod his head then say, "OK." He was still digesting the information he just received.

"However, unlike wild beast, we elementals have strong soul which is why I can talk to you through soulforce. While we elementals has no body, wild beast soul was weak. Tier 1 to Tier 3 Wild Beast strengthen their body while Tier 4 to Tier 6 where they strengthen their soul and Tier 7 and above strengthen both and can start to shapeshift to human form. That is why Tier 1 to 3 called lower Tier Wild Beast, Tier 4 to 6 called middle Tier Magical Beast and 7 and above called upper Tier Demonic Beast." Bell added.

"So that's how it is... Lower Tier beast cultivates their body, middle Tier cultivates their soul and developed their intelligence while upper Tier shapeshift and cultivates like the way human was." Cole said in understanding.

"That is correct." Bell nod in approval. "While we Elementals called lower tier from 2 to 3 stage Mana Gathering and Crystallization, middle Tier 4 to 6 called Soul Stage, and upper Tier 7 to 9 called Flesh Construction Stage."

"So you elementals can have a flesh body." Cole ask after hearing what Bell said.

Elementals body is made of mana and not flesh, but when they reach Tier 7 they can start constructing their flesh body.

"Yes but it is a hard process. Maybe in million elementals, only one can achieve this. That is how hard to achieve Flesh Construction Stage."

"That's unfortunate." Cole said in sympathy. "But don't worry Bell, since your my own now I'll help you achieve that."

"Then, thank you very much..." Bell said almost whisper in his head.

Cole exit from Inner World then summon the Gate back to his cave. This time since he has now a source of fire, he hunt some Long Furred Rabbit and have it as his dinner. It's not really delicious but still satisfying compare to his every-day fruit dinner.

Next morning, Cole continue his journey to right side of the forest. He ask the Bell if she knows where the way to the civilization and she said that is in the rightside way of the forest.

She was travelling the forest last, last year that she almost go to the city. Thankfully, she was not spotted by some humans.

Elemental creatures was made from pure mana energy which is substantial to human cultivator. They will absorb the mana body of elementals but since their soul was not damage, they will not die. However, the elementals cultivation will stagnate if not drop. It was cruel, of course, but they can't do nothing about it. They can't blame someone but themselve. Blame themselves for being so weak.

Humans release most of the absorbed elementals to the wild and regain what they lost. But since they know their lesson, elementals always avoid human like a plague.

Fortunately, Bell was not one of those unlucky elementals. If not, she will run as soon as she see Cole standing so close in front of her before.

This is the first day Cole started his travel. According to Bell, the distance between here and the city was worth five days of travel. Since Cole has been here before, he decided to ride Shelly on his back and travel through air. Half-day later, he was now in the foreign part of the forest. This is the part of the forest Cole didn't go before.

Cole wasn't no way hurrying to go there. As a city person on Earth, he knows how loud and busy the place was. Although he needed the place becuase of information, he still take his time and level up. He battles those the same level as them and higher, but not too higher, and don't bother to weaker beast like the Long Furred Rabbit. Although he knows that mosquitoes legs were still a meat, he doesn't bother with them since he his now high level than before. Eventhough it still gives exp it was like a drop in the ocean.

On the first day, he and Shelly level up from Lv11 to Lv13 and the Fire Lizard reach Lv19.

On the second day, he and Shelly level up from Lv13 to Lv15 and the Fire Lizard finally reach Lv20. It was also a single step away from reaching Tier 3.

On the third day, he encounter a big snake beside the tree he called magic tree and has magic fruit. And it looks like the fruit was still not mature as the snake was guarding it.

Beast Name : Green Poison Serpent Level : 20 Affinity : Poison Type : Beast Rank : Earth Description : A serpent with a potent poison. A earth-rank Green Poison Serpents' poison can even kill enemy one stage higher than them.

Cole recognized this beast! That beast has a high resemblance to the snake he found dead when he woke up but much bigger and higher level.

That small snake before most likely tried to attack his body but was defeated by the Blue Land Turtle.

But Cole doesn't know that that snake died full of injustice. He was just trying to sink his fast to a dead body. To a dead body!!! But a beast appear out of nowhere and kill him! He was just trying...

Seeing that the person was still doing nothing and contemplating about something, the serpent attacked! The beast lunged his body to Cole with its mouth gaping wide open. It was trying to have the first and upper hand move to it's enemy.

Unfortunately for the snake, Shelly was alert. The moment Shelly see the serpent move he change his size to maximum and act like a shield to protect Cole.

The serpents advanced suddenly stop when it collides with the turtle shell. It was too hard too bite the shell and can't swallow the turtle because it's more bigger than it was.

Seeing the commotion, Cole woke up from his day dream and focus on the battle. "Groot! Use Wood Constrict!" Cole commanded.

All of his contracted beast has level up and on the verge of breakthrough to Tier 3,except of Shelly, like the Armored Demon Treant. However, he doesn't have experience with them battling. So he decided to summon Armored Demon Treant this time to the battles. Although Bell was a great beast, she was still more like a support than a vanguard.

The other day, Cole decided to named the Armored Demon Treant' Groot like the one in the movie on planet Earth.

Groot's slam it's human-like branch hands and extend to the ground. The roots burrowed its way to the ground and suddenly appear below the snake. It was all too sudden that the serpent can't even react before it was constricted and covered full body with roots. The serpent tried to wiggled and struggled but it was all for naught. The roots, despite its weak and small appearance, was too hard for the serpent to break.

Seeing it's struggle, Cole gave a command, "Root Puncture.", and finish it.

A root stretched out and stab to the serpents' head and came out on the other side. The serpent twitch it's final struggle before staying still.

The serpent was dead! It was finished faster than it was started.

Cole appear in front of the dead big snake. And just like he always do, he squat beside the body and chant, "Find Loots." The body glow for a moment then disappeared. On its place, various things appear.

Found Loots. +1 Earth-rank Meat Essence +1 Earth-rank Blood Essence +1 Earth-rank Bone Essence +2 Green Poison Snake Fangs +1 Green Poison Snake Skin +2 Green Poison Snake Incomplete Eggs

3 orb essences appear like always. The important parts of the beast which is the fangs and skin were also found on the loots. Both were neatly processed as if done by the professional. The skin even was neatly folded. Those were the usual he found in the loots. But today seems his lucky day since a new type of loot appear, a beast egg.

That Green Poison Serpent was surely pregnant and most likely near to hatch her eggs. Unfortunately, she met her misfortune today. It seems like she guard the magic fruit for it's offsprings.

Incomplete egg Status : Alive

This is what Cole saw when he examined the first egg. It looks like he was still lucky since the egg was alive. Cole look at the second egg and check its stats.

Incomplete egg Status : Dead

Unfortunately, the second egg was not lucky. It seems like the first egg was just really lucky today to be alive.

Cole once again focus on the first egg. He don't know what he will do with this. Eggs were delicate things much more what he has right now. It should have been dead if it wasn't lucky.

Do you want to create a contract with the egg?

A notification screen appear after awhile while he was contemplating of what to do. Since he can't come up with a better option, he accept the prompt and soulforce leaves his body and fuse with the egg. Cole felt a connection with the egg and feel a life inside of it, although barely.

"You better hold on and hatched." Cole spoke to the egg as if demanding. Cole put the egg, as well as the loots, inside the Inner World.

Cole's eyesight focus on the magic tree and its fruits.

Soul Tree Rank : Earth Description : The tree that bore a soul fruit.

Cole pluck the 2 fruits and hold the tree then focus and will the tree inside the Inner World. Seconds later, a notification appear.

Do you want to put this tree inside the Inner World?

Cole answered yes and the tree vanish. The tree appear, floating, inside the Inner World. Then, the tree slowly descend and touch the ground. The roots wriggle and take roots on the soil. Seconds later, the processed end.

Cole open his eyes again. He put the other fruit inside the Inner World while he examine the remainder one.

Soul Fruit Rank : Earth Description : Fruit that strengthen soul. Tier 3 Wild Beast and below will awaken their Intelligence when consumed.

While Cole was examining the Soul Fruit, a handsome but sinister looking guy appear near them. He was like a shadow that stealthly near close where Cole was, even the alert Shelly doesn't notice his presence. His eyes were focused on the Soul Fruit Cole was holding.

"Soul Fruit? That's a good stuff."

A voice suddenly rang out in the back of Cole's party. Cole was shocked when he heard the voice and tried to whirl his face at the back and look at the culprit.

He was afraid. There is no reason, it's just his stincts that told him that the guy was dangerous.

The guy moved past before Cole can face his back. Shelly notice him move and react. He was trying to moved at the back of Cole and protect him, unfortunately, Shelly was still a second too slow to arrive there.

A bloody wound appear from the back of Cole to front. It even precisely target in the middle of the heart. It was a critical injury!

Cole plops to the ground unmoving while the fruit he was holding was in the hand of the killer guy.

The Armored Demon Treant was still standing dumbingly near them. It can't even follow what was happening near him while horror appear on the face of Shelly.

That anger vanish and he look at the guy sharply. He quickly gigantified and thirty bullet like space energy in the front of the turtle then shot out.

Full Power Void Bullet!!!

The guy notice the move and was ready to dodge. However, he miscalculated the speed of the Void Bullet, he was still a seconds late to dodge.

"Space Energy?" The guy ask to nothing in particular.

He was shocked. Really shocked!

He admits that he misjudged this time. Although he was fast, 'cause he was a shadow cultivator himself and confident in his speed, he can't still outrun the speed of space-type energy. And a five gaping holes in his body was the best proof for that. Fortunately for him, he still dodge most of the void bullet. If not, he won't even think about it.

The guy don't think for a second before leaving the place. He almost died in that place a moments ago!

Moments later, both Shelly and Groot vanished like a puff of smoke besides Cole's body and his body stay there unmoving.
