[Wele to the 3rd floor of the Tower.][Trial: [Familiar raising] - Nurture a familiar to the best of your abilities][A familiar slot will be gifted to didates][Pyers will be provided with [Nurturing] (Special). The nurturing only st for 144 hours][Your familiar will level up automatically once every hood luurturing? What? Is it reted to me having a familiar ?’ Sora wondered, sensing Hiyoko, who was resting fortably in the [Beast Space] he had purchased on the same day he bought one for Alius.Just then, a sele of creatures appeared before him, each apanied by a picture and brief description:
Baby Dragon Baby Thunder Wyverial Tiger CubBaby GryphonBaby PhoenixBaby Uni taurBlood Wolf PupBaby Fairy Frog...Baby e catHusky PupRoc ChickBaby GolemClig on a name gave him more details about each creature.
He browsed through the list, which seemed endless. As he scrolled through the tless options, each with uributes and descriptions, Sora paused on a few species.
Fog on their appearance, he hesitated between four of them.
[Baby Simurgh]
The Simurgh els the wisdom of the ages, granting himself increased trol over mental power, and unrivaled wisdom. It also has the ability to heal itself and its allies.
'I like how this one looks, and its foental power, but it's irely a bird, but also has the face of a dog. Maybe Hiyoko wouldn't get along with him?'. He thought.
[Baby Adarna]
The Adarna Bird’s enting songs soothe and heal allies, while its plumage creates a magical barrier that reflects damage. Its song also ent enemies into a state of calm or deep sleep.
'This one feels like a perfect healer… Hiyoko would probably appreciate the pany? But it might be too gentle.' he thought, his gaze on the bird’s description.
[Baby Roc]
The Roc possesses immense physical power, capable of carrying massive loads and tearing through oppos with its razor-sharp talons. Its incredible speed and sheer size allow it to domihe skies, making it a fierd imposing ally.
'This one’s strength is unmatched, and it looks so cool. But it’s so massive… Would it even fit ihe [Beast Space]? And would Hiyoko feel o it?' he mused, weighing the pros and s.
[Baby Phoenix]
The Phoenix is the essence of rebirth and renewal, capable of healing itself and others through its fmes. Its fmes not only burn enemies but also purify allies of harmful effects. Upoh, it resurrect, growing stronger with each rebirth.
'This one looks amazing, has immeential, and it’s not too big. Its power is also simir to mine... Maybe it could keep Hiyoko pany. She’s been loely,' he mused. After paring it to the other options, he settled on the [Baby Phoenix], hoping it would be a good match for Hiyoko.
[Baby Phoenix - Level 1][Would you like to bind Baby Phoenix to yourself for this trial ?]The Baby Phoenix glowed with warm, red feathers, its tiny blue eyes filled with innoce, and seemed to radiate warmth and intelligence.Sora's eyes softened . 'This little one is adorable,' he thought, trying to resist an urge to give it a pat on the head. Sora pressed yes oification panel and was given the skill [Nurturing].
Your familiar and you are now bound. It receives part of your innate skill, Prestige. He felt a e appear between both of them, and his Soul Pace pulsing slightly, as if adapting to the ge. Dismissing the notification about getting a new familiar slot, and a familiar, he read the new skill.
[Nurturing : Receive a familiar pao manage and nurture your familiars !]Effect 1 : [Feed] Feed your mana to help your familiar grow in maturity.Effect 2 : [Pat] : Increase the familiar's affe toward you.Effect 3 : [Educate] : Develop your familiar’s intelligend awareness.Effect 4 : [Train] Train the familiar with double efficyEffect 5 : [Evolve] Attempt evolution every 50 levels.As soon as Sora's e with the new familiar formed, Hiyoko’s eyes snapped open. She had been dreaming—a nightmare, really—that her master had chosen a new panion to repce her. The feeling lingered as a sting feeling of unease, so she woke up, looking around for some fort.Only the familiar vegetation of the cozy space Sora had created surrounded her, but it did nothing to ease her worries. Sulking, she slowly crawled out of her .She made her way to where her food was stored, taking small bites of the delicious fruits her master had prepared for her. Once her belly was full, she sat down with a sigh, her wings folded over her belly as she gazed at the beautiful sky overhead, lost in thought.'Chirp chirp chirp chirp,' she mused sadly, thinking about how little time Sora had spent with her tely, always focused on his training.After a while, curiosity got the better of her. She made her way back to her and peeked out of the beast space using a magical mirror nearby.The sight that greeted her was shog.“CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP!!!” she cried, her feathers puffing up in arm as she watched the se in disbelief.Without hesitation, Hiyoko activated her ability to request her master's summon. Within moments, she found herself teleported out of the beast spad pced beside Sora in his trial area."Hiyoko, here's our new panion," Sora said gently, sensing her panic through their bond. "He’ll be your little brother from now on, so look after him until he's strong enough to protect you. I'll never abandon you, uood?"Hiyoko blinked, abs his words, and a wave of relief washed over her. Her little eyes sparkled with tears, realizing her master hadn’t repced her; instead, he’d given her a new friend to py, eat, and explore with!Hiyoko turo look at the newborn phoenix and couldn't help but find him cute. She tilted her head, taking in his blue eyes, a mix of curiosity and affe sparking in her gaze. She chirped softly, as if weling him to the family, her initial worries melting away.
Sora felt the knowledge flow into his body, ingraining the skill 'recipes' within him. A new familiar interface appeared, dispying stats for his phoenix: hunger, affinity, intelligence, pedigree, and bloodliivity.Testing each effect seemed like the best way to uand them.Starting with [Feed], Sora pced his hand on the phoenix a a small stream of mana toward it. He felt his mana undergo filtering and refining before reag the Baby Phoenix, though the process felt ineffit.As his energy flowed into the bird, its eyes shoh pleasure, a clear sign it ehe nourishing mana. The phoenix chirped happily, its tihers fluffing up and down.
[Growth progress: 10/100][Affe: +1% (51%)]The baby chick seemed to grow slightly, a barely noticeable ge. Sora tinued feeding mana but a notification appeared:
[Your skill effect [Feed] is on cooldown for the same familiar. Remaining time: 4:24], he tried [Pat]. Gently, he stroked the phoenix’s head, feeling a warmth that spread through his hand and transmitted a soft energy to the bird.Almost instantly, the familiar panel reflected an affe boost of 10%, raising the total to 61%. The bird looked at him with greater fondness and curiosity. Testing it again, he firmed the cooldown: five minutes.Moving to [Educate], Sora focused on his mana flow, sensing a refihread of mana leaving his dantian and eling into his mind to harness Mental Power. This new energy slowly flowed out of his body, as if the process were difficult, before finally reag the baby phoenix.The bird trembled at first, visibly unfortable, then fell into a light sleep to ehe process painlessly. When it awoke mier, there was a new brightness in its eyes.The bird’s intelligeat increased from 1/50 to 2/50 in the familiar panel. It seemed to Sora that he could ses growing awareness. This skill had a ten-minute duration with a one-hour cooldown, including the time it took for the process.'This will take a while to max...' he thoughtLastly, he activated [Train]. He felt his body radiating a special aura that seemed to affect the phoenix. The bird, now fully focused on him, looked as if it had bee a serious student, hungry for knowledge and growth.Unsure what the skill intended him to do , Sora summoned a small fireball and attempted to teach it how to create one.Over the fifteen minutes, he quickly realized how terrible he was as a teacher. Seeing the fused look on the phoenix as he was expining the principles to trol fire, he finally gave up.He resorted to the most clumsy method he knew: directly guiding the little bird’s mana and trolling the fire for it, trying to teach by example as gently as possible. The baby phoenix, showing surprising talent, mao create a small spark by the end of the lesson...He hat [Train] sted 15 minutes, reduced affe slightly, and could be used twi hour due to a 30-minute cooldown. 'I thought these skills would simplify nurturing... Seems like I’ll o put in some effort too,' Sora thought, pleting his tests.Feeding the bird at the same time, he took out a notebook and scribbled down his findings.[Feed]: +10 growth, 4:30 cooldown, +1% affe[Pat]: +10% affe, 5-minute cooldown[Educate]: +1 intelligence, 1-hour cooldown, sts 10 minutes, -3% affe[Train]: sts 15 minutes, 30-minute cooldown, -5% affeHis writing was horrifying to look at, but it summarized his uanding of the [Nurturing] skill effects...'This... isn't looking good. I ’t max its growth, train it, and educate it all at ohout managing its affe carefully,' he thought, examining his notes. 'Looks like I’ll o choose a growth path to focus on.''If I spend 45 minutes maximizing its growth, it'll be able to grow to the maximum eventually. I'll have fifteen free mio train it, or educate it if I want. Pyers alterween both, or sacrifice growth for focused training and education or a different path.''But I don’t care how others choose; I’m not promising on anything. I’ll max everything out.'He began by feeding the phoenix sistently.After the first hour passed, a notification appeared:
[Your familiar 'Baby Phoenix' has leveled up! 143 hours remaining.][Maximum Growth +100]At the same time, he focused on the skill effects, trying to recreate them himself. [Feed] was the simplest to replicate; after five uses, he felt he’d mastered it. His new skill, [Alternate Feed], bypassed the cooldown of the inal skill and shortehe time o maximize the phoenix’s growth.'This saves me 22 and a half minutes—enough to push this familiar to the highest possible level through ventional methods...' Sora leased with his progress but felt it wasn’t enough. 'I bet other pyers have simir tricks or special abilities for nurturing their familiars.'Using both feeding skills versions, he mao reach the growth cap of 200/200, with further growth requiring level-ups. Recreating [Pat] proved straightforward, using an abundance of life force with a touana to boost affe., he attempted to imitate [Train], succeeding after six uses of the inal skill and spending a total of three hours deciphering the aura imprint he new version allowed for tinuous training, though the phoenix refused training when its affe was too low.Wheried to replicate [Educate], it involved carefully merging mana with mental power—a challenging process. But within a day, he ma.By the end of the first day, Sora ied his phoenix’s stats:
[Nurturing Status : Name: suSpecies: Male Phoenix (Young)Pedigree: Pure Phoenix (1% bloodliive)Level: 24Growth: 2400/2400Affe: 100%Power Level: 526250Intelligence: 10/50]The young phoenix stood proudly at 2 meters tall, with fmihers in shades of red and gold, bright blue eyes, and blue fmes h over its wings.Sora, who enjoyed giving his familiars Japanese names, looked up to admire su’s figure. There was intelligen the phoenix’s gaze, and tely it seemed to grasp the simple cepts Sora had tried to teach.He gnced down at tiny Hiyoko beside su and couldn’t help but pare the two familiars. One was a creature destio soar to the top of the world, full of ambition and dreams, while the other seemed tent to simply eat, sleep, and bask in her master’s f presence.
