THE ADAPTATION
The moment Ivy walked away, I couldn't help but ponder on what she said. On the bright side, I was happy. Maybe my father was finally going to recognize me for once and stop seeing my awakening as a bad thing. On the other hand, I was a bit scared. Jack had never challenged me. If he was going to get into the competition, then it was likely that I was going to face him. I didn't move.My hands trembled slightly as I held the small, fragile body of my pet. Its breathing was faint… uneven… like it could stop at any moment.A part of me wondered how a small rat could suddenly grow into a dragon. Just one person was powerful enough to conjure a powerful pet. My father. “No… no, stay with me,” he whispered, his voice cracking despite himself.For a moment, the noise of the arena faded. None of it mattered when my pet was trying so hard to cling to life. I know what is going to happen to me if I lose my pet. I would be stuck. I was going to lose my way home and probably live the re
DRAGON AWAKENS
The ground didn’t just shake. It submitted under the flapping of its wings. A crushing pressure descended over the arena like an invisible hand forcing everything downward. The air grew heavy, thick, and hard to breathe. Students staggered back in panic. “What… what is that?!” someone shouted. Even the betting booths went silent. Dust swirled violently at the center of the arena, spiraling upward as if drawn by something far more powerful than wind. I stood frozen. My face paled by the sudden change in my pet. I had always known it was something but not what was right before my eyes. My eyes locked on the figure standing where my rat had fallen. No. This can't be. This was not a rat anymore. The small, fragile body I had grown used to was gone. In its place stood something far larger—its form stretched, refined, and reborn. Its body was sleek yet powerful, covered in dark, metallic scales that reflected light like sharpened blades. The wings that were once tiny and frag
RISK & REWARD
The creature that stepped out behind Dan was nothing like I had imagined.It wasn’t just big.It was monstrous.Its body was thick and muscular, covered in jagged, stone-like scales that shifted slightly as it moved, grinding against each other with a low, scraping sound.Each step it took cracked the ground beneath it, leaving its feet imprints in the arena floor.Its head was shaped like that of a wolf—but twisted, elongated, and armored. Rows of sharp teeth gleamed beneath its curled lips, and those glowing red eyes burned with a savage, almost intelligent hunger.A low growl rumbled from its chest.The sound alone made my legs feel weak.“Stone Fang Wolf,” someone whispered from the crowd.“No way… that’s a mid-tier evolution…”“He’s been hiding that this whole time?”My throat tightened.Mid-tier.That meant… even at Tier 5, his pet was already far stronger than it should be.Dan casually rested his hand on the creature’s head,completely unbothered by the terrifying beast beside
CHALLENGE FOR THE THRONE
Everyone was quiet for a moment, all eyes snapping to me. I felt a mix of fear and excitement bubbling inside. I could do this if I had killed a beetle that was way above my level..My pet twitched on my shoulder, sensing my heartbeat, its tiny claws digging lightly into my sleeve. I gave it a soft scratch behind the ears. “We’ve got this,” I whispered.A few students muttered among themselves.“He’s crazy,” someone said.“That rat doesn’t stand a chance against the bigger pets here.”" Does he think this is going to be a easy fight? He is going to have to fight his way through the dredgs."" He won't even last a second."I was not moved.Instead, I felt the joy to show my father what I could do. If he had watched the video then he was doing this just to give me my spot back.Jack was smirking again, leaning against the wall. “Finally,” he said slowly, as if savoring the moment. “Someone stupid enough to throw themselves into the fire. I’ll enjoy watching this. You definitely are goin
WAS THIS REAL?
As I walked out of the building, everything felt unreal. One minute, my pet had been tiny and fragile, and the next, it was soaring above the ground with wings.I bent down slightly, my gaze fixed on the small creature perched on my shoulder. “You just saved us back there… what are you?” I whispered. It let out a soft, squeaky sound and nudged against me, jumping lightly on my shoulder as if it was proud of itself.We had won the match, but victory didn’t change the fact that I was still broke. My stomach rumbled, and I glanced at my wrist—no timer, no system alert. That was a relief. Maybe now I could focus on something practical: finding a job and a way to feed myself.Then, a system message popped up.[ System Message ][ Cash Prize Unlocked Due to Special Death Delivery ]A smile tugged at the corner of my lips. I glanced at my pet, who perched calmly on my shoulder, its tiny wings folding neatly behind it. I stopped walking, my heart pounding as I anticipated the amount.[ System
THE PIT FIGHT
The pit fightThe deeper I walked into the city, the more the air changed.I clenched the flyer tightly in my hand, my eyes scanning every wall, every corner, every narrow path as I searched for the address.Every few minutes, I checked my timer, making sure I still had enough time. Hours passed before I finally stopped.A narrow, dimly lit path stretched ahead, almost abandoned, and at the end of it stood a rusted metal door.My grip tightened around the flyer. This was it. The address matched.For a moment, I didn’t move. I just stood there, staring. The faint reflection on the metal showed my bruised face, swollen lip, and tired eyes.My jaw clenched. “I don’t have a choice,” I muttered under my breath. My hand drifted to my pocket, and it felt like it understood me—like it knew exactly what I was about to do.My fingers curled into a fist before I finally pushed the door open.The noise hit me instantly—loud, wild and alive.Voices clashed from every direction as I stepped inside,
