Chapter 12 12: BloodPine Forest
"Where was this system when they all died, forcing me to watch?" Zell said in a whisper.
He felt the system could have stopped his past life trauma. His memories of fighting to the death with level 1 beasts. Griselda sensed his sorrow and nudged his right hand with her wet nose. This jolted him from the slight frustration at the whims of higher beings.
—|Infra: 'Forgive me… Back then we didn't know how to fight back. This beautiful world of Azuros fell before we even tried to counterattack. My eyes found you when it was already too late….'
Her voice seemed more severe and lacked the flirting tone she usually had. He felt how sincere she was. Then realised she also experienced the hell of that life.
Zell glanced at the sky, then towards Griselda and realised all of them knew the truth. He only hoped that the girl who made this possible was doing fine. He wished never to see her cry again. She resembled a childish Veronica with a different hair colour.
—|Zell: 'I wonder if they are cousins?'
"Infra, can you tell me about this system? If it's mine, I should use it well." He said with a resolute face. As his black helmet's mouth guard closed, sharp steel teeth grew from the jaw and sealed his mouth.
—|Infra: 'I thought you would never ask! Haha, all the heroes in your novels rush off and fight monsters. Only to almost die and shout at their flawed system in anger as it saves their ass! You can touch my ass anytime, though! Fufu!'
He ignored her flirtatious words and listened to her words intently.
—|System Explanation|—
Your system has two main parts; one which improves and evolves your cute beasts. The other one improves yourself and any beast's bloodlines you have. Whether a rabbit or a mighty dragon.
"Is a dragon a beast?"
"Wahn!" (Well, technically not darling. But it seems this goddess plans to push through that and ignore the rules. Probably because you are half dragon. Good job! My incredible, charming master!)
Ahem!
—|System Points|—
You gain System Points whenever you level up from experience or actions in the wild.
One type of these points is called Beast Points, which you can only get by levelling.
— Beast Points (BP)
Points that can increase your battle beast's talent, elements, growth and other physical things. But the higher they rise, the more it will cost you!
Another type of point is relatively easy to get. Your cute wolf has given you ten already. Would you like to receive notifications for these points? Otherwise, you might need to remember them at the start.
"Yes, please!"
You gain these by treating your pets well, loving them, praising them, hunting with them and when they get a human form, even copulating with them! We call these Beast Lord Points!
— Beast Lord Points (LP)
Points are used to increase your abilities. It allows you to buy skill books that can remove a skill you don't need. Then fuse it with one of your beast's skills for a brand new one a tier higher, which both you and your pet can use.
It can also increase your bloodline, whether the Incubus or Crimson Dragon. I used my permissions to break this slight restriction.
—Would you like to have a drink with me tonight, Zell?
Her explanation lasted for almost an hour. Even if she was playful, she was thoughtful. His image of the gods changed after he met so many of them.
He met; Vestia, Astra and Infra, who cared deeply for their various followers. Infra mostly, because they shared the same love for animals. Also, she was also apparently a beast, but wouldn't him which type! He wanted to understand them better.
He didn't notice when, but during his chat with Infra. Veronica now rode on the back of Griselda like some mounted knight. She looked arrogant, with her nose in the air. Zell poked her little nose and felt a tingle through his body, but it stopped before he could examine the feeling.
"Hmph! Don't touch a lady's face! You mongrel!"
—|Veronica: 'Ahh!? He touched my face… So suddenly, how lewd! My heart is racing. Oh dear, please don't notice.'
Her cute wings fluttered as she flopped down onto the fluffy black fur of Griselda. She rolled around, wrapped in the silky fluff and slapped her back with gentle fists. Veronica inflicted negative damage and was more like a massage for the noble wolf. Like a good girl, Griselda did not complain about the fly bugging her.
—|Zell: 'These two look cute… Where is my Digi cam or phone? Screenshot!'
Pasha!
He wanted this image for his phone background. His computer would store this image on a cloud drive. Best wolf and angel pair! Could they solve crimes together?
"Griselda, can you tell me about the situation up north? That's where you came from, right?"
"Wuu!" (it would honour me, master!)
She was being swung around like a ship during a storm. Her cute tail swayed faster as she dashed towards him. The angel held onto her bushy tail as she fell back.
-
A few minutes passed. He listened to Griselda's information and realised why it differed from his memory.
He started the game almost a year later. The world experienced several distinct changes. The merger took many minor events first, as the demons could only fuse the planets with a robust and binding force.
Zell felt he was silly. The area would change quickly after that raid. He never even thought about the game's early changes. What a fool…
The place will become a mini raid zone because of the vampire invasion.
Humans and elves will return with a small raiding party. They want to rebuild their great city. Zell missed this event in the game, only reading small forum posts.
The player would fight the waves of enemies that spawn at various times.
— Small groups every hour
— Large groups every half a day
— Massive groups once a day
— Weekly raids with over two hundred mobs minimum.
Once they defeated the raid leaders. It would lead to the land being purged of its corruption. This was the first stage of restoration.
—|Zell: 'I must make sure this happens! The zones reclaimed in the game will appear in reality! These safe zones repel all demons and give humanity an extra defence buffer. Only Arch demons and above can activate a defensive siege battle in these zones.'
"Thank you Infra, Griselda. You helped me decide what to do."
"Let's go. I have three hours to play. We will head to the Bloodpine forest and hunt some dark creatures. While I walk, show me my current status and fuse my system panel with the games, if possible. Infra! Why don't we have that date in real life!"
