***

Looking through the skills and notifications, he immediately had a headache, there was to many skills, but the gist of it was he gained to many support skills all at once.

Crap...

It was bad enough that he still had no experience in fighting, now he had to train to adjust his current strength more than he had to or else he will have all his limbs destroyed.

Adding to his worry about the Taboo Skill, which gave no accurate description about what it can do what-so-ever.

His intuition told him that skill is trouble, a dangerous skill called Taboo felt like a jack in a box with a surprise he didn't want to know.

If that wasn't bad enough, he still has a bunch of broken skills that he had no idea in their limits, unless he experiments on them one at a time, but that will take up most of his time.

If not for the fact he gained something out of all the trouble, he would have cursed to the heavens for screwing with him.

*SIGH!*

'Why the hell do I have to go through so much dilemma...'

He grumbled from his increasing misfortune, and wanted to punch something repeatedly until his fist bled.

*Bark!**Bark!*

His attention then focused from the sudden barks, then felt a wet sensation brushing on his chin, looking down the puppy was barking at him with joy.

But Stigma on the other hand was really puzzled to the puppy's current appearance.

"What happened to you?"

Hilda suddenly cut in to explain to her master worry.

"Allow me Master, what happened was..."

Hilda elaborated the events that transpired.

When Stigma had suddenly clutched his arms and gritted his teeth, the puppy was worried that it stopped overeating, despite its size it already ate about two of the legs and the core.

Seeing his master struggling in pain made it whimpered and licked his face, thinking it would alleviate the pain.

After a few moments, Stigma fell down to his side and had stopped moving almost as if he was dead.

Panicking about his master's condition, it crawled into his clothes and brought it's head to his chest, trying to hear the same heartbeat when it was embraced by him.

It then crawled out and relaxed after finding out its method was able to hear the heartbeat, and hoped he would regain conscious.

But his worries continued to grew as Stigma continued to stay still for who knows how long.

It then leaned it's chest on his ear, hoping as though the treatment in hearing it's heartbeast, would wake his master, like it did to him.

But he still didn't work, it then ate another leg and crawled into his clothes.

The puppy then whimpered and laid down on his chest, it appears as though, it was hoping that the

heart would not go out as long as he paid attention to it.

Although Hilda can sense Stigma's life force was fine, it won't understand even is she explained it.

With all the excitement coming all at once with its constant worry, it fell asleep midway.

She noticed the man was not coming near their position, so she was not going to alert the baby wolf.

After a few hours had passed, she noticed the little one was whimpering in pain and what followed was he started moving around in his clothes and some sparks were released.

She wasn't sure what was going on, but can only guess that it overate and was in pain from his own action.

Dusk was still following it's orders in masking their presence so the man named Denis, who was still busy retrieving all the cores and storing some meat into a sac, didn't notice a thing.

When he found the remains of Wade, he simply ignored it and continued with his work.

He gleefully kept on repeating his counting on the cores until he said something that caught her attention.

"I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm so lucky to find a dead man's treasure. Once I get to the slave market I can be rich, hahaha. Luckily, the Slave market had declared an extension for another five days due to the storm, if not for it I would have wasted a trip."

Hilda believed that Stigma can sell some of the belongings in the space ring, since one of them might lead to more problems.

Hilda finished her statement saying that most of the stone are already been taken by him, so Stigma can't retrieve them anymore.

After waking up from being unconscious, he felt extremely sluggish and after hearing that he can't gain some earnings he turned into a sour mood, but seeing everybody was safe made him feel a sense of relief.

It was not that he unaware of Dusk or Hilda's abilities, he was only concern that they were protecting him, so he wanted to protect them.

Now with the little puppy getting stronger, it made him feel at ease, if it continued to get stronger he have to worry if any trouble comes at them.

When it was born, in this worlds standards it was still small, but to him, he thought it was a a size of an actual puppy.

Now, it was growing little by little so he was glad he wasn't doing anything wrong in feeding it.

Yet, after passing out, a lot of changes happened than he had expected, good and bad.

The once cute little puppy had became a full fledged mythological beast.

Then someone else had taken advantage in looting his bonus reward.

"Well, I can still earn more cores in the future."

Using his skill, he looked over the puppy's stats again to confirm.

As he had thought, it was mostly defensive skills, all that's left to do now was how to train it.

The soul also changed, it had one that looked like a wolf now he was seeing a soul with a blue hue buzzing around it like it was emanating electricity.

With its current size he can only carry it around for a few more years until it grew up to be bigger, but once it get older and bigger.

He suddenly imagined himself ridding it a huge puppy with bigger horns, he couldn't help but broke into a grin from his poor imagination on the baby wolf's growth.

"Master, I've been thinking for a while now, but are you going to name the little one now."

"...Crap, I forgot, I still didn't name him."

"It feels a bit strange that we keep it around, yet we still call it puppy, baby wolf or little one, so it's confusing once it get older don't you think... we are close enough that he likes us, so it seem fair Master."

'Hmm, she has a point, but what would be a good name.'

It's not that he didn't want to name it, but from the start there was really nothing at the time to reference it at.

To him, the wolf was just born so he had no way referencing his name to[1], and he had no idea what to expect in the future, so he had to name it carefully.

He wondered why Hilda didn't name it, she explained that it was her responsibility but Stigma's, since he named her as well, so by hierarchy she had no right in terms of authority.

'Wait, that would mean she placed in second . . . ah whatever, Dusk can't even speak so I have to do it.'

Appearance aside, he had to make it unique, and naming it based on its fur was not an option anymore.

Last time, it had a grey fur with white streaks on it with a tiny horn on its forehead and still looked like a puppy.

With the sudden changes, it now had a silver and blue fur, silver was the base while it's front paws, mane and tail were blue, white streaks that look similar to simple tattoos were on its body now that he noticed, then the horn on its head was still small but it also grew another two horns on the sides of its head making it three horns.

"...Hmm, now that I think about it, the thunder elements was his main abilities."

He thought for a while and remembered a beast in mythology that fit the descriptions ,but he had trouble remembering it.

"What was it name again..."

'Raiju, Kaminari, Ikazuchi...Kirin'

". . . I have decided, your name from now on is, Kirin, little one."

When he heard it new name it barked out of joy with some sparks flying about.

*BING!*

[A Thunder Beast has accepted in being your familiar with the name 'Kirin', may both sides grow stronger with both of their bonds.]

After hearing the notifications, the newly named puppy was glowing with a silver light on its chest, and a tattoo was on its chest, then it barked again and again leaping in joy on two legs, which looked cute.

He could not help but smile after seeing it, a Kirin is typically peaceful being with a fearsome expression, but now he was seeing something that a pet would do.

"Master, the man is about to leave."

Just like Hilda had announced the man was carrying a sac that was twice his size with great difficulty.

"Let's follow him, he said that he was going to the slave market which is also our current destination."

"As you wish master."

"Bark!"

...

Well two out of three agreed, though I think Dusk agreed as well, but oh well.

* the shortened sentences are just the same from the previous chapter

[1] referencing his name to, if you have noticed the names of Chinese, Japanese and Koreans based their names on where they lived or what type of person they want them to be. While in some culture they reference them differently so I am not entirely aware of family names.
