MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

My eye twitched seeing some unexpected variables. Still, I was happy, so happy that I didn't even notice the Tab asking if I wanted to announce my achievement.

< Do you want to announce your Achievement to the world? >

< YES / NO >

Feeling a familiar wolf right beside me I smiled and quickly opened my inventory.

<LOOT>

1️⃣ 10000 EXP ( Familiar EXP )

2️⃣ Raw Pork x100

3️⃣ Familiar's Tattoo [ Gold ]

~~~~

Most of the rewards were focused towards my new familiar, but I didn't mind it, infact I preferred it that way.

Compared to other players I was already very strong. It wouldn't hurt to Level up my companion.

Coming closer to the wolf I extended my arm still varily looking at its yellow eyes. Luckily the wolf held no hostility towards me and allowed me to pet him.

Brushing its soft fur I thought of a name for my new buddy.

" What about 'Fenrir'? "

I contemplated audibly. My eyes shifted towards my pet happily looking towards me.

" Fenrir it is "

I smiled. Little does this wolf know his name in the previous lifetime was Fenrir as well.

Spending another fifteen minutes playing with my newfound pet I decided to cook all the pork I received from the reward.

While I sat and started preparing to cook all the meat the Wolf lied right beside me with eyes that seemed to radiate some kind of expectation.

Because of the bond we had I could clearly feel Fenrir's desire for cooked meat. His tail was moving from side to side giving him a cute puppy look. You wouldn't even dare to think that the same monster tried to kill me a few hours back

I couldn't resist his cute eyes and tossed one of the stakes towards him. He lunged at the incoming meat and caught it midair devouring it in an instant.

< Fenrir +50 EXP! >

A small smile was playing on my lips.

' So eating allows him to Level up, huh? '

Every pet has two ways of leveling up. One is killing other monsters or players and exercising. The other is different for every single beast. Fenrir's way to level up is very good, because it's easy to to do.

Cooking more and more of the stakes I stored them inside my inventory. I didn't want to overfeed the wolf.

The animals can also gain weight easily and I didn't want my close ally to lose mobility.

Looking at the wolf peacefully lying on its back I smiled.

' I should probably get a dog '

My mind wandered off thinking about the possibilities in the future. Unfortunately I was pulled out of my fantasy when I heard sounds of a distant fight.

It was still a night and monster spawn rates were all time high.

Fenrir's ears also shifted towards the direction of the sound, but the wolf didn't open his eyes.

Slowly standing up I walked up to him and touched his fur with the intention to notify Fenrir that we are moving.

Once We got ready we warily walked into the Dark Forest.

I wasn't nervous, because all the monsters in the game were manageable. I also wanted to let Fenrir fight some of the weaker enemies.

Luckily a chance presented itself rather quickly.

While we were slowly nearing the outskirts of the city a group of low level salamanders jumped down the trees.

Since Fenrir was superior in all possible ways I decided not to interrupt the fight.

Gesturing Fenrir to fight the incoming enemies I saw a glint of happiness pass through his eyes. I didn't know why, but I felt like the wolf wanted to fight.

Taking a few steps I sat on the imaginary chair and took out some tasty imaginary popcorns to enjoy the show.

Fenrir was fast approaching the group of 3 Fire salamanders. His legs full of muscle tensed up allowing him to leap in air and bite into the neck of the first monster.

Blood started flowing from the neck of the bitten Salamander. Fenrir bit a chunk of meat from the Salamander's neck letting it bleed to death.

Even though it was cruel it was efficient as well. If Fenrir took even a second longer a fireball would scorch his fur.

Taking a dozen steps back he eyed the two salamanders before pouncing at the one who was responsible for throwing the fireball.

Since the level distance was major in the salamanders' eyes the wolf just disappeared before biting into the neck of the Elite Fire Salamander. Even though it was elite, the difference in Levels was too big.

The only left Salamander tried to run, but soon met its doom under the claws of Fenrir.

< Elite Fire Salamander x1 Killed! >

1️⃣ 60 EXP ( Shared with Fenrir )

2️⃣ Salamander scale x7

3️⃣ Fiery meat x3

4️⃣ Salamander tooth x1

~~~~

< Fire Salamander x2 Killed! >

1️⃣ 40 EXP ( Shared with Fenrir )

2️⃣ Salamander scale x4

3️⃣ Fiery meat x2

~~~~

All the salamanders were quickly taken care of without me even moving a finger. Looking at my companion I smiled while collecting the loot.

I was sure that Fenrir would accompany me on this long and hard journey. Stepping closer to the wolf I took out a black paper with a picture with a dark flame.

Looking at its eyes I tried to tell what I'm about to do. Not seeing any resistance I let the paper touch its fur on Fenrir's right side.

Click...

Suddenly the Fenrir's fur changed color from being grey to becoming black. His previously yellow eyes turned even shinier and seemingly looked at me with gratitude.

1️⃣ Familiar's Tattoo [ Gold ]

-- Allows the Pet to sense master more easily

-- Boosts Relationship Level

~ Bonus Effect - The pet's fur may change color.

~~~~

The tattoo I've given to Fenrir was like an Intelligence booster that'll allow him to sense or find me more easily.

Yawning and stretching my back I felt my eyes closing on their own. Petting the Wolf I smiled and logged off the game.

" I've acquired a friend! "

A stupid smile was lingering on my face.
