The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Rishi went to the beast clinic to have Sheru treated, and they told him to come back the next day to get Sheru back. He returned to the house by himself, his back slouching and his lips sticking outward.

His silver hair were being blown by the cold breeze. He was walking dejectedly towards his house when a pebble appeared in his path. He pushed it to the side and continued walking. Another pebble soon appeared in front of him. He did the same thing again. He didn't even realised he had reached his clan.

He entered his clan and went straight to his room, all the while thinking about Sheru. Sheru has been injured numerous times as a result of his selfish motives. He decided he couldn't keep being this useless in the face of magic beasts.

This reminded him that he only had one more task to complete before he could begin learning martial arts. He then realised he knew nothing about the clan's Beast Tamer challenge.

So he called Kabir.

"Hello, Uncle, can you tell me more about the clan's Beast Tamer challenge?" he asked the only person he fully trusted in the clan.

Kabir responded, "The Beast Tamer Challenge was introduced in the clan to find and nurture talented clan members. The Beast Tamer Challenge has many levels."

"But first, let's discuss the level one challenge: Goblin Cave, the first floor of a common grade dungeon."

"The main monsters you'll encounter there are goblins." said Kabir.

"What exactly are goblins" asked Rishi.

"What exactly are goblins?"

"Are they extremely powerful magic beasts?" Rishi inquired.

"They are humanoid creatures with green skin, a long hooked nose, bat-like ears, and a mischievous demeanor," Kabir explained.

"The most dangerous aspect of these creatures is that they can use weapons like us humans and they mostly stay in groups," Kabir continued.

"What is the highest record to clear the first-level of beast tamer challenge?"

"Are there any prizes for breaking the record?" Rishi questioned.

"The time is 20 minutes, and the reward for breaking the record is decided by the elder guarding the dungeon. I can only tell you that elder isn't a simple person"

"Is it really that difficult to clear it?" Rishi inquired.

"You'll know when you face it," Kabir replied.

Rishi awoke early and went to the beast clinic to retrieve Sheru. He summoned Sheru and proceeded to move towards the location of the Dungeon.

He soon arrived at the location. He looked at the entrance and noticed an elder sitting on a chair there; the elder noticed Rishi and looked at him, as if asking why he was there.

"Good morning, elder," Rishi greeted him.

"I've come to challenge the first level of the trial," he said.

The elder took out a device and used it to test Rishi's level with it. The phrase "Common Stage Level 5 Beast Tamer" appeared on the screen.

"You can enter, take this talisman and use it when your life is in danger" the elder said.

Rishi took the talisman and thanked the elder, to which elder just smiled.

Rishi went into the dungeon. He discovered that he was inside a large cave. It was made of large rocks, as he went deeper into the cave, he was astounded.

There were trees, bushes, and grass all over the place. Rishi summoned Sheru, and the two of them set out to explore the cave together.

Rishi soon noticed a group of green-colored humanoid figures with pointed ears and short stature. He quickly realised they were goblins.

He observed them and noticed they were eating the meat of a magic beast. He then told Sheru, "I'll handle the two goblins on the right side, while you will handle the remaining three'

He then drew his bow, aimed, and shot a goblin in the head. "Attack!" he commanded Sheru as he fired another arrow at his remaining target which hit the goblin on his stomach, Rishi took out his sword and finished him off.

Sheru also attacked the three remaining goblins. They were all level 3, so killing them was simple.

Rishi and Sheru proceeded deeper into the cave, destroying and rampaging any goblin camps that stood in their way while searching for any valuable items.

They soon came across the main goblin camp. There were ten goblins in total, four of which were level 2, three of which were level 3, two of which were level 4, and one of which was level 5.

The level 5 goblin looked a little taller than the other goblins.

Rishi used his inspect ability on the most powerful goblin to check his stats and skills.

Rishi then drew his bow and aimed it at one of the level 4 goblins, instructing Sheru, "Kill a level 4 goblin first, then attack the level 5 goblin; I'll take care of the other goblins."

He then released the arrow, the arrow moved in the air making a "shussh" sound and then hit one level 4 goblin on his neck, killing him instantly.

Sheru also used his paw to attack the remaining goblin, which landed on the head of the remaining level 4 goblin taking away his life.

Sheru then charged at the level 5 goblin, attacking it with his claw but ended up being blocked by the goblin leader. The goblin then used his dagger to attack Sheru while also activating the 'Slash' skill.

Sheru dodged his attack. They both keep exchanging blows.

Rishi fired one more arrow at a level-3 goblin, killing it. When he noticed a javelin coming at him, when he wanted to shoot another goblin.

It was launched by a level 3 goblin. He dodged the attack by jumping back, while simultaneously shooting one arrow, which struck the unarmed level 3 goblin and killed him.

He then took out his sword and started slaughtering the remaining goblins.

Sheru also used 'dash' and 'tiger claw' at the same time to dispatch the goblin leader.

Sheru then approached Rishi, who patted it before checking his status window. He quickly realised he had forgotten to use one of the lucky draws. When he used it, a huge hologram appeared before him, he pressed the spin button.

The dial started spinning, and then it stoped in one of the cards.

The card came out of the hologram and became bigger in front of Rishi, then it slowly turned and the words "Metal Claw" written on it became visible.

Rishi read the description of the skill.

"Nice..." Rishi jumped in excitement when he saw how useful this ability was.

Metal Claw: Use 10 MP to make your paws coated in metal element. The paws coated in metal will have a piecing effect, it will also deal additional damage to the enemies of higher level.
