My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 63: A New Tamed Monster Pet!

Flash!

Suddenly, the radish began to exude a powerful aura of life and nature, its withered leaves turned their colors into a vigorous and healthy green, as the white body of the plant grew larger and larger.

"Isn't this… way too fast?!" Frank wondered, walking a few steps back as the radish grew bigger and bigger, reaching almost ten centimeters from the measly two centimeters from before!

The gold and green light suddenly stopped exuding from the plant, as everything fell into stillness.

"It really… grew a lot," Frank thought, as he was suddenly startled once again.

The radish plant grew tiny arms and feet, and began to slowly get out of the ground…

"This… it became a monster…" muttered Frank in awe.

The radish slowly crawled towards Frank as if it looked for him over anything else, suddenly, two little lines appeared within the radish, resembling closed and drowsy eyes. Alongside the eyes, a tiny mouth emerged as well, which released a very small sound.

"Muh…!" it said.

"This… This is actually quite cute…" thought Frank.

Ding!

[Congratulations, you have converted a plant into a monster!]

"Oh really? You do not say… I should rename you to 'The Obvious System'…" thought Frank, as he inspected the small plant-type monster radish with his Inspect.

"This little radish has some interesting things to it… First of all, it comes with a Mana Core straight away… is it because it is a monster born in Terra? Then, it also possesses the ability to level up through Monster Ranks, which are like an equivalent to my Jobs but for monsters to evolve instead of changing Jobs… And lastly, it knows magic already and eve… can drain mana? So, this is why I feel like my mana is being absorbed from my feet…" said Frank, glancing at the small Walking Radish that was resting over Frank's boots while absorbing his Mana little by little.

Of course, Frank's Mana regeneration was quite outstanding, making it nothing for him other than a small little annoyance, which he could quickly get used to.

"Muh…!" said the little Walking Radish, glancing at Frank from below with its drowsy eyes.

"Grawr?" asked Ruby, as her mouth began to gather flames.

"Wait, Ruby, no! Do not kill it! It will be your new companion!" said Frank, stopping Ruby and redirecting her flames sky. However, because she was in her small form, the flames were very little, and not much commotion happened.

"Grawr…?" asked Ruby, she was confused about what Frank had just said… What did her master mean by 'New Companion'?! She was the only companion for him!

"Be more tolerant, will you? She… or he? Will be your new companion from now on… I have decided. This must be something like fate, this little and dying radish had become a monster and has taken a liking for me. I am not so heartless to just kill it after having given it a second chance," said Frank, grabbing the Walking Radish who put no resistance, the little thing even rubbed its face over Frank's arms… absorbing more Mana without meaning it.

"Hm… what name should I give to it?" wondered Frank with a gentle smile, as Ruby glanced with a bit of anger at her new 'competitor' over her master's pettings and attention.

"Grawr…" she said, averting her gaze from the little radish.

"Don't be rude, Ruby… Well, you will have to learn to be nice with little Ginseng sooner or later… And that is right, this is his or her name! Although it is obviously not that plant, I found it fitting," said Frank.

"Muh! Muh!" said little Ginseng happily over his or her new name.

[You have formed a bond with the monster [Rank 1: Lesser Walking Radish: Nameless]!]

[The name [Ginseng] has been decided for your second Monster Pet!]

"I wonder how should I address you? Ginseng, do you feel like a girl or a boy? You're genderless after all so I gotta ask you…" said Frank.

"Muh…" said Ginseng, it seemed completely aloof.

"I guess I will treat you like a girl, so Ruby can have a new sister. Any objection?" asked Frank.

"Muh? Muh," said Ginseng, seemingly not caring at all.

"Alright then… Sigh, I'm beat…" muttered Frank, as he suddenly remembered the Druid Skill effect of creating a tattoo to store a plant inside.

"Do you feel sleepy, little Ginseng? I have a nice place for you to rest while feeding in all my Mana with ease… Druid Tattoo!" said Frank, as a green-colored, left-shaped tattoo appeared on his index finger of his right hand.

Ginseng suddenly felt attracted to it, as it was quickly absorbed by the tattoo and disappearing out of sight!

"Grawr!" said Ruby happily, it seems that her rival had suddenly disappeared, what a bliss!

However, as Frank felt that Ginseng was 'stored' inside the Druid Tattoo, he felt that his connection with her had increased even more. And whenever he closed his eyes, he would see little Ginseng floating over a black space, sleeping peacefully while feeding on his Mana.

"I guess it only feeds itself on Mana. At least I do not have to worry too much about her food, aside from letting her take a sunbathe or drink water sometimes," thought Frank.

Frank finally made his way back inside Gwendolyn's house, and now with the new mask that granted him Stealth, Camouflage, and Silence, he was able to be even stealthier than before, not even waking up Hilvera who had a sharp earing sense.

Resting over the bed with Ruby, Frank quickly went back to Earth as he gave a last glance to his system window, where a few more windows greeted his sight.

Ding! Ding!

"Gaia seems to be quite moved by me… She likes Ginseng, I suppose… Hm, now I feel a bit awkward, is she always looking at me? …Ah, I better not think about it and just sleep,"

Frank fell asleep with Ruby slumbering over his chest, her warm body was quite comfortable, and his tired mind quickly gave in to dreams.
