[Day 24]

Day 24 and still kicking!

No weird, overpowered monsters yet, which is very nice, I can catch a breather.

I have been walking through the entire night up until today's morning, and little rat with me has been doing nothing but laze around.

But today will be different, amigo!

I am going to force you to cultivate with me.

Hehe, did you think you were just going to get me fruit and live carefreely at my back while I protect you from anything? Nope, my friend.

The rat-monkey suddenly jumps in surprise as it senses my resolve and my mana.

I begin to use Ice Absorption to drain mana from the environment, alongside my own mana, and I use it around my body.

Well, I have been doing this all night now, but now I am going to add this rat to the circle of cultivation.

"K-KYUU?!"

The rat feels a bit strange at first, but it quickly accepts the embrace of my Mana, and its little Mana Core begins to glow, the energies go through its body very fast because it is so small, which is nice because I don't waste much energy either.

This way, even you will become strong, and more useful too!

Yeah, I am not having useless pets here, you are going to get strong!

Oh, I also realized that the rat-monkey is actually a girl…

So I decided to name her Snowflake.

Yeah, not the Snowflakes of the internet, this one has just the normal meaning of a beautiful snowflake, don't get it wrong, okay?

Hmm… Maybe I should change it.

Then… let's get weeb with this.

How about… Yuki?

The Rat-Monkey gets happy for some reason, as I said "Yuki" through telepathy.

Alright then my girl, you are named Yuki from now on!

"Kyuuu! Kyuuu!"

Yuki begins jumping around as it suddenly began to glow brightly.

Eh?

And at the same time, my mana drops by a whopping 500 in an instant.

Eh?

What is going on?!

<you have="" named="" the="" [rat-monkey="" (rank="" 1:="" middle="" stage)]="" as="" [yuki]!=""></you>

<you acquired="" the="" [naming:="" level="" 1]="" skill!=""></you>

<[yuki] has="" evolved=""></[yuki]>

What.

Yuki suddenly evolves right in front of me, as she glows brightly, and her small body suddenly gets bigger!

Actually, like three times her original size…

And then the light dissipates to show me an adorable chinchilla-like monkey-rat.

With fluffy white fur everywhere, and a long and fluffy tail.

So cute…

Yuki, I don't know how you did it, but you just got even more adorable!

"Kyuu!"

Yuki cheers with me as she jumps around adorably. Although she got bigger, now she looks like a ball of white fur.

I can't believe it, I just tamed her, named her, and now she evolved?

Let's check her info through Analyze…

…

…

Ooh, Yuki, you finally seem to have become useful!

And she got quite strong too.

In fact, her abilities seem to be all things I can't do, such as being agile, having acrobatics, she can also throw things with great precision, cover herself in snow, and roll like a snowball, and her fur can dampen impact too…

Oh, and her claws are filled with poison!

What?!

She's way too good for a first pet.

I guess my amazing talent was passed to her through this naming thing, and now look at my girl, she's a beast!

And I have only met her for like… I don't know, three or four days?

She's truly quite the strong adversary now!

And her Dexterity is her highest stat… and it's above 300?!

Have I ever fought with something with so much Dexterity before?

She's the definition of speed and agility, I guess.

Celebrating her evolution, Yuki went to pick up more pears, and we ate quite a lot.

After that, she jumped back into my back and we continued walking while I used my Mana and her own to generate a constant cycle of energy around our bodies, reinforcing them.

Alongside that, I also practiced magic, both wind and ice as much as I could, perhaps that gorilla was a one-in-a-lifetime dude, and some stronger beasts are not immune to ice.

I have the highest level of ice magic after all, so I can't simply neglect it!

…Although I can only use the lowest level for now.

But yeah, maybe when I get into Rank 2 I will be able to use stronger and more mana-consuming spells.

My mind-related Skills are helping me be able to visualize spells through imagination and intent more easily, so there's that. I just need to keep practicing and accumulating more and more mana, and the more magic I will be able to use.

A pretty easy path to follow, if I say so myself.

But it will probably be filled with hardships nonetheless…

…

After a few hours of walking aimlessly, we encountered a pack of five wolves who were feasting in some ice-horned rabbits, they were all Initial Stage except the leader and maybe its daughter or something? Because both were Middle Stage.

I considered simply hunt and eat them, but maybe I can tame a wolf? Maybe the leader?

But if I kill his entire pack, I don't think he would obey me unless I brainwash him, and I don't think I can brainwash by simply naming something that is not willing to be named.

Yuki was a big exception to this rule because she sticks to me to protect her, and she gives me fruit.

In the end, she became willing to be named and was successfully tamed… but wild animals that will most likely attack me, at first sight, won't do…

Until I get some kind of ability to suppress them and tame them forcefully.

I send Yuki first to attack, as I wanted her to try out her new abilities.

She decimated all the Initial Stage wolves with her sharp and poisonous claws with ease, but the two middle stages were causing her trouble, although her speed let her evade incredibly swiftly.

In the end, she managed to kill them too, so I didn't even move an inch! I guess this is how it feels to be a Pokémon Trainer, huh?
