Tamed Pet

After seeing the new information about the building, Theo rushed to his house, taking Amethyst with him and ordering the rest of the skeletons to patrol the area inside the wall and not allow anyone to approach the house. He suspected that the strongest forest beasts that Amethyst found in their caves and nests would be the challenge that would occur in a week, but that didn't stop the rest of the animals from attacking today.

After he entered her house, he decided that he would hatch the egg so that he would have someone else to talk to when Amethyst was out carrying her orders. He then made a small hole in his finger with an arrowhead he got from grinding. After dripping a drop of his blood into the egg, he placed an energy stone and egg on a makeshift stand made from the rabbits' skins.

As soon as the stone touched the egg, it began to suck its energy, causing the stone to slowly lose its shine, this caught Theo's attention and made him focus on watching it. And that was why he didn't miss the moment when the stone turned to dust and the egg began to glow dimly.

Then, many cracks began to appear on the egg, which began to move, shaking sideways with great force, shocking Theo. When he decided to hold it, the egg broke and from the opening formed a hand came out and started hitting the egg from the outside, breaking it more and more until it was completely freed.

The monkey that emerged from the egg had copper-colored fur, was 50 cm tall, had long, thin limbs, an almost human face that now expressed a mixture of surprise and confusion. Theo understood him, he shouldn't be born like this or in this place with a human nearby, so he called him by the name he would give him, Copper, because of the color of his fur.

After Theo called him, he seemed to calm down and approached him speaking in his monkey language, which Theo didn't understand but hoped to be able to communicate with him soon. Theo removed some fruit and, using the same arrowhead as before, he cut them into very small pieces and gave them to his new companion. So the monkey lost that expression of confusion and quickly started eating the fruits.

Only when he saw that he was full did he ask Amethyst to fetch water for him from his bowl and gave it to the baby monkey to drink. Then, with that done, he decided it was time to see his reward. He removed the chest from his inventory and placed it in front of him, he didn't expect much, as this game was fair. And shouldn't give any player an advantage, but even so, a hint of hope didn't leave his heart.

He slowly opened the chest and a silver light came out of it, almost blinding him, but he managed to protect himself before that happened. When the light dissipated, what was there in front of him was a brown cloak and a rolled up blue paper that looked like a blueprint of construction. Theo opened the paper, and it was indeed a project to create a watchtower, thinking quickly, he decided that this would be a great way to protect his land.

Viewing the list of materials, he realized that he could build a tower, he quickly left his house and ran towards the gate, wishing to build it there. The materials disappeared from his inventory and the tower was created in a few seconds, so Theo ordered rangers to settle at the top to take care of everything and shoot anything that moved towards his territory.

After completing the tower, he ran back home and then took a look at the cloak to see its specific information, this could be equipment that would help him with spells as it looked like a wizard's cloak. And he wasn't wrong.

[Mage Cloak]

[Equipment.]

[Cloak, made of good quality cloth, keeps heat in winter and cools in summer. 10% reduction in basic spells, increases MANA by 5.]

Theo couldn't ask for anything better, since with the staff he had, his MANA would now rise to 10, and he could use magic to attack his enemies. One of his wishes when he lived on Earth was to be able to use magic. Here he could become a wizard and build a kingdom for himself to rule, not that he wanted to become a ruler or anything like that, but that was an option he would have.

Theo put on the cloak and then felt his body slightly heat up with the magic present in him. Another thing he could feel besides seeing, was his increase in MANA, he wouldn't try anything now inside his house, but he waited anxiously to be able to test his powers.

One thing he noticed was that after putting on the cloak, Amethyst seemed to look at him differently, more respectfully, more faithfully. And his baby monkey was now more affectionate, as well as much less skittish, letting his master caress him.

Although he doesn't have any information about it, the costume should have a slight charisma increase, which would benefit him, so he would take advantage of it when negotiating in person with other players.

It was when he had this thought that he heard sounds of struggle coming from Dora on his wall, so he asked his ghostly bodyguard to check the situation without going too far. Because despite having magic now, he didn't want to be left unprotected. Soon she came back saying it was an attack by some animals, but it would be resolved quickly by her units who had a higher level than the attackers.

Theo trusted his unity and then decided to pay more attention to the puppy, playing with him for some time before tiredness and sleep hit him like a stone in the head.
