Chapter 3: Pets!

  *Bingbong*

  Nightmares became really easy after the system upgraded my Tiger Slash to Ferocious Tiger's Rend. I wonder what fighting Voidlings will be like.

  Let's check out this pet system first. I always loved pets back on earth... Earth... I'm not sure for how long i've been gone for, not even sure if I wanna go back. If going back is even an option... I don't recall having anyone who'd miss me really. Sure as hell won't miss working at the warehouse though.

  *Bingbong*

  Let's put those thought aside. So this little guy is my pet now? I feel like I can sense its feelings.

  "Hey buddy, how are you?"

  I hope he doesn't know how many of his kind I just killed...

  He seems a little unresponsive.. maybe the babies can't hear well?

  I stick out my finger to rub his head a little.

  "Hello there, do you have a na- awtch, don't bite me again please."

  *Baby Nightmare's like discovered: Violence*

  That's... great. I guess a monster is a monster after all.

  "Do you have a name?"

  It shakes its head

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  "Then I shall name you Gunther" It immediately lunges towards me, in a new attempt to bite my hand.

  "Ok ok ok stop, stop. No Gunther. I get it."

  "Are you a girl? How about Millie?" It bares its fangs and lets out a soft hiss.

  "Ok that's a clear no."

  "Are you a girl?"

  It shakes its head.

  "A boy?"

  It also shakes its head.

  Oh it might be one of those genderless creatures.

  "How about Sam?"

  It takes a moment consider it, before slowly bobbing its head up and down.

  "Oh you like Sam? Well then, nice to meet you Sam. My name is Henry, let's be friends."

  I wonder how strong Sam will get.

  As Sam is a baby, he... she? It? ... Let' s go with "it" I suppose. It can probably make use of my old cultivation pills which are too weak to really help me now.

  "Hey Sam, I have a snack for you!" I hold out my hand with a basic Qi sensing pill on it.

  "Yeah, there you go. This will help you get big and strong!"

  Sam seems to notice the effect of the pill, as it quickly goes to lie down on the ground and, I assume, cultivate.

  Aww look at them. Maybe it's due to some kind of exposure effect, but I don't think Nightmares are as hideous as I first thought. Then again, maybe they just aren't as scary when they aren't trying to kill me.

  This snarky system, I swear to Go.. Buddha? I'm not sure at the moment.

  I'll definitely save those Golden Core pills for my pets. This basically guarantees they'll all become Golden Core cultivators at least.

  They could probably do it on their own though. Sam really breezed through the first stage of Qi sensing, putting him in the Body Reinforcement realm. Baby Gora is still hard at work learning how to sense Qi, but the fact that a baby can cultivate at all is quite surprising to me still. I wonder if human babies can do that.

  Sam, Gora sat inside of the small pagoda, playing like kids usually do when they aren't cultivating. Henry tried to teach them some of the small joys in life in an attempt to overcome their violent natures. Violence was still very much an everyday activity, but Henry got the feeling that it was more in a playful manner, rather than an attempt to be cruel and hurt each other. So..It's fine, right?

  Watching them play, made Henry remember his past life. He never had children of his own - didn't even know if he actually wanted those little bastards around back then. He did however remember the innocent laughter of children running around in a playground. A deep sense of nostalgia, and perhaps a little melancholy overcame him.

  If he hadn't died, he'd be playing on a computer, reading a book, or attending a class of some kind. Back in his normal life. But he didn't miss it. The more he cultivated, the more he could remember of his past life, but also the more he felt .. a disconnect. He felt satisfied here, in a way he never had before.

  He looked back over at Sam and Gora, with a smile on his fa-

  ...Is that my sword?

  "SAM STOP THAT"
