When Sam's uncle was forced to resign from his job their family lost one of the sources of income. If their family was just limited to that they didn't have any problem but the pets beasts also needed to be fed well thus Sam had to do many odd jobs to continue supporting his family while continuing his survival classes.
By the time few months passed Sam finally had experienced what is called as the hardship of life because the places where he went to do jobs there were many orphan children like him and many of them didn't even have any adults to take care of them even then instead of giving up, they were doing their best to survive in this unforgiving world, while he had a caring uncle and aunt and a cute little cousin sister.
He even had many fights with his uncle as his uncle didn't buy many things he wanted to have but they had no practical usage. Only after experiencing real hardships of the world, he got to know that in this world even when his uncle was keeping him and caring for him, giving him pest possible things they could, was his uncle's self-choice, not his obligation.
Under this situation again another year started, this year can be concluded as the best year in the recent years to come and this time it literally changed the whole direction of development humans was progressing as electric equipment started to working in the current environment.
This was first discovered in one of the bases which was situated near an electric power grid when some hunters who were outside of the city were passing through the grid where they saw some of the electric light which shouldn't work were glowing they were stunned and surprised. In fear of something unexpected going on they directed reported to base administration
Soon base administration assembled a team and sent to the power grid, when the team checked that grid they found out that nearly half of the grid was working perfectly, even more than perfect as it was supplying more electricity than it was designed to supply.
And within a month this news took all the human bases in complete surprise. Soon all the bases administration started to search powerplant of previous cities as all cities were self-sustained before thus every single city had a power station.
And within five months all the bases had prepared their own power station and within few months electric supply of the whole base was settled. With the recovery of electricity, many of the communication devises like wristbands also became active.
Sam at this time can be said most busy person in his family, while his aunt usually goes to the base hospital and his uncle mostly remain at house and take care of his little sister who was now a year old. but he had to do a lot of jobs in the base now there is much work in the city after electric supply was restored as the new government was now trying to restore all the facilities which were electric-driven in the shortest time possible.
The new government soon made a goal to open all the railways within a year. As the most basic system of the high-speed rail network was already laid down near every base thus they now had most difficult work already done they only had to clear the whole route and upgrade it to make it suitable with the current situation.
while the whole situation was progressing a certain picture was directly sent to every online wristband, in this picture there was an inland sea (more like a large lake), and there was a large island in it, while one of the sides was closer to the outer bank of this sea. As all of the wristbands received this picture at the same time, this became the problem as mass panic spread 'what place is this and who sent this picture and that was days within electricity was restored'.
But soon the new human government released a piece of news that one of the navigation satellite became online for a few seconds and managed to take this picture. And because none of the communication centres was online and because that satellite was programmed to send any kind of important message to all the available devise in case it couldn't reach its communication centre. Thus it sent a picture to all the devices and that large island in the picture was what left of the earth in the current situation.
This image became a sensation for a while but as time passed other than some interested people all of them forgot. Next two years passed quickly as none of the life-threatening events like beast attack happened within the time frame of these two years. But many of the important activities occurred.
In these two years, humanity progressed by leaps and bounds as most of the facilities were pre-made thus there not much work to start with as son the base expanded to the size of the city. And the first thing which was made are many of the electric-based weapons were again remade while this may not cause much damage to 2nd stage and above beast but it was particularly fatal to humans. And all the walls were covered with an electric-based shield to kill any week beast that might try to sneak past the wall.
Then they developed a complete network for communication and all the bases were also connected by underground railroad network. While all the development work was going on government soon founded a "Beast Training Association" which would give pet owners a licence where pets will be used and where they will not, and research and development of pet beast including all the information storage will also be work of the beast association work.
And the establishment of this association soon proved beneficial for the government as within these two years they made many unexpected discoveries. And three of them were on the top and shook mind of every human, one of the discovery was that not every human had the talent to get a pet beast as nearly one-tenth of human were soon discovered that couldn't get a pet no matter how many sones they crushed although their bodies were strengthened but not at the same rate as a person who has the ability to get a pet beast.
And the association soon made a device which could tell whether a person could become a beast trainer or not by measuring the amount of energy they could absorb from the stones and the accuracy of this machine was as high as 99.99%. this machine also gave a surprise as this machine could be used to measure the talent of a person based on the percentage of energy he absorbed from the stone.
The second discovery was that other than the stage of the beast there was an also rank of the beast based on the bloodline value. While association by the now has only gold rank beast as of highest record but they speculated that there may be way higher ranked beasts. At the first association, easier identification of the beast stage by the size of the core stone as usually 1st stage core stone was of the size of a fingernail and 2nd stage beast core stone size of a pigeon's egg thus and while all of them were colourful but they had a strange iron like lustre.
But a problem suddenly arose when some a strange 2nd stage beast were found that had way more power than they were supposed to have and when they were killed they found that the core stone of the beasts was the same size of other 2nd stage beasts but had more weight to it and had a bronze lustre rather than iron like lustre.
This matter soon came into the attention of the beast training association when they researched on it they found out about rank of the beast and concluded that higher the rank of beast more power it has compared to same stage beast of the lower rank beast and higher rank beast could also develop faster than lower rank beasts and in the process, they also found out that when some special herb and condition provided to the lower rank beast they can also evolve to the higher rank beast.
This proposition soon took all the human by surprised and man of the humans started to individually research on it thus came another job of beast research in the sight of the people and within beast training association also started to provide licence for this job.
And final and third discover of the beast training association can be considered to be the most important discovery was that humans could also advance in stages like beasts but instead of an increase in strength in beasts humans would have increased in the number of pet beasts. Until now highest stage a human has achieved in last two years is 4th stage and only one person has ever achieved it had while he increases in physical abilities per stage but it was only a minor increment but now on the fourth stage he has 8 pet beast in total. the association was also preparing to give human stages some special names so it could be easily remembered by the peoples and human could be differentiated from the beasts.
While the association was researching they also found out that humans also had an attribute and when he has paired with same attribute pet his then the growth of both of them with being faster than the contrast of attribute. For example, if a fire attribute trainer gets fire attribute beast then their growth was a lot faster than a fire attribute trainer with water attribute pet beast. While association couldn't develop any machine for this but they developed a way to recognize these attributes. the association also prepared a set of exercise to increase the accumulation of mana in human bodies for a faster increase in human stages.
Association also had many small discoveries like some herbs and some stones which were found in the wild with some unexpected properties. While these were important but under the limelight of the previous three discoveries, these were suppressed.
