Chapter 325

Lucky 325

The egg began to glow, enticing Calix to come closer. The egg was protected by the thick incubation transparent glass and Calix could only look at it.

Something was written on the bottom of the glass. The name of the egg.

"Chimera? Never heard of it. Is it a fossilized egg of an extinct beast?"

He had never heard of a Chimera. He had no idea.

"But for a fossilized egg like this to be placed in an incubation jar means something. Maybe it's an important specimen. But why in the library? This thing should be in a lab or a museum."

It was not his problem, to be honest. He turned and walked away from the incubation. He had not forgotten his priority.

However, after walking a few meters away, Calix heard something crack. He was surprised.

"Don't tell me..."

He turned around. Just as he expected, the fossilized egg began to move and crack.

Calix swallowed and became curious. He wanted to see the creature that would emerge from the egg.

"Chimera..."

He muttered. This creature was something he had never heard before and it piqued his interest.

The egg began to crack and Calix could see the creature moving out of the egg.

First he saw a white paw come out, then an orange kitten with black spots...

'What is that, a calico cat? I thought it was an old beast...'

Calix felt deceived. The egg was not an extinct beast, but a simple calico cat!

'I can catch a hundred of them in a day!'

Calico cats were quite common.

But Calix forgot something important. Calico cats are mammals, they don't lay eggs!

The calico kitten slowly emerged from the egg. Calix noticed something different about the kitten. The kitten had a pair of wings. A pair of bird wings!

"What the hell am I really looking at?"

This was very confusing to him. A cat came out of a fossil egg, and it had wings!

The kitten was licking its fur and meowing like a normal cat. It was cute, but the wings on its back were quite dominant. It was something Calix could never see in normal cats.

A cat with orange and black spots and white fur, with magnificent white wings on its back. Truly out of this world. Calix had read many books, but he had never seen anything like this.

The kitten stopped licking itself and looked at Calix innocently.

"Mama!"

"Hm?"

Calix tilted his head, thinking he heard someone speak.

"Mama!"

Calix almost jumped in shock! His eyes stared at the calico cat.

Birds treat the first moving object as their parent, but this was a cat...

"Did you just call me Mama? N- no! That's not important right now! You can talk!?"

He was stunned. For a second, he almost drew his weapon.

Calix knew that there was no such thing as a talking animal, only talking aberrants.

A Demon-God Aberrant like Bakunawa could speak because of its level. In addition, some unique Aberrants could also speak.

Perhaps this calico cat was an Aberrant.

"Mama!"

The cat didn't feel the hostility and kept calling him. Its cute little paws began to scratch the glass, the cat wanted to come out and approach him.

Calix narrowed his eyes and studied the cat. It was small and damn cute.

"You don't look like an Aberrant."

To be honest, Calix could not kill such a cute kitten. He felt that he would be committing an unforgivable sin if he killed it.

The cat quickly scratched at the glass as it tried to get away.

Finally, Calix swallowed his confusion and opened the incubation jar. The cat was excited to see its mother and meowed happily.

Calix had no choice but to hold the kitten. The calico kitten began to rub its face against his palm, tickling him. It purred, melting his guarded heart.

'Aww, how could I hate something so cute?'

In the end, Calix decided that it was a crime to kill a little kitten. He didn't know why the kitten had wings and why it came from an egg and why it could talk, but it didn't matter.

He decided to adopt it. Pets were allowed in the apartment as long as they were vaccinated, it was one of the perks of being a rich tenant. Of course, he had to pay more since pets were quite troublesome.

"Since you are called Chimera, I will call you Mera."

Yes, this man named the kitten just like that, without any hesitation.

"Mera?"

The kitten was amused.

"Yes, that's your name."

"Mera? Mera!"

The cat was confused at first, but when the cat realized it was its name, it became excited. It accepted the name easily.

"By the way, I'm not your mother. I'm Calix. Come on, call me Calix."

He urged, but the kitten just stared at him.

"Mama?"

"No, Calix."

"Mama?"

"Calix."

"Mama!"

"No, I'm a man."

"Papa?"

"Yes, you can call me Papa."

Calix sighed. The kitten was too stubborn.

'I guess Papa is good. It's better than being called Mom.'

"Papa!"

The kitten meowed again and licked his palm happily. Seeing the kitten's affection for him, Calix unconsciously smiled.

He decided to keep the kitten.

'I know it's bad to steal, but this is a living being, it's not an egg anymore. So... Finders keepers!'

One thing was for sure, Calix had found another treasure. By fighting the Minokawa and teleporting into the library, Calix met the egg and became the parent of the ancient beast Chimera.

Too bad, Calix had no idea about the treasure he got.

"From now on, I am your Papa."

"Papa!"

"Now that I think of it... Let's see."

He picked Mera up and looked at the thing between his legs.

"So you're a boy."

"Mera! Boy!"

Mera copied his words and kicked her feet like an excited child. Calix smiled foolishly as he watched the kitten act like an innocent child.

"Is this what it feels like to have a child?"

He wondered. Perhaps this was a test to see if Calix had the ability to take care of a child, starting with a cat.

If you can't take care of a cat, then you don't deserve a child, because a child is more precious/troublesome than a cat.
