Nameless King

"How are you feeling?" Edena asked with a worried expression as she approached Wolf, "Is everything okay?"

Wolf was silent for a while, then exhaled cold steam and said, "Yeah... I've never felt better than this. Ice and darkness... they're finally my allies, not the ones tearing my body apart from the inside."

"Shall I examine you...?" Edena muttered with glowing eyes as she touched Wolf's chest.

Wolf was slightly confused as his eyes went wide, but he nodded, "Sure. I need some time to come to my senses, but if you want to do it, go ahead. I won't get in your way." Noᴠel Fɪre.net

Edena nodded vigorously as she began to examine the Wolf from all sides with curious looks. She wondered what had happened to the Wolf since he was a unique monster with two attributes.

'Damn... Several times I've seen other monsters evolve in Fifth Chronicle, but this is incredible... He's actually completely eradicated all the disadvantages of his situation, now he can use both ice and darkness... It's like he became a human in part...' Edena internally muttered as a sudden shiver went through her body, 'Wait... He saved himself, but what about the others... Is it really possible...?

Edena froze behind Wolf with a thoughtful expression. She was trying to figure out if her idea was just a dream or if an ingenious plan had actually appeared in her mind.

"Hey, you've reached the Fifth Chronicle and you seem to have been able to talk for quite some time, so you need to do something to complete your transformation." Wain smiled slightly as he waved his hand.

"Agh...? What are you talking about...?" Wolf muttered in a confusion.

"A name. You must choose a name." Wain raised a finger with a confident smirk, "You've already climbed higher than millions of other monsters, but you're still just a simple Wolf, that needs to be fixed, and as soon as possible."

"Name...?" Wolf's eyes went wide as if he realized something very important, "Wait... Leader, shouldn't a member of another race give the monster a name...? Shouldn't you do it?"

Wain shook his head, "That won't be necessary. If the monster is weak and has only gone through Awareness, that is, gained consciousness, then it makes sense to get help from a representative of another race. Ideally, if it's someone in a higher Chronicle and from Pillars."

"However, that doesn't work for you. You're already in the Fifth Chronicle. Your situation is unusual, so you'll get a name in an uncommon way, too. Just, make it up and it will be yours. You have no parents, you were born of energy you've already given up, so you're a true Absolute, which is why you've reached the Fifth Chronicle." Wain said seriously as his gaze turned cold.

Wolf knew too little about the process of getting a name, but like all monsters, he had the desire to have it. Having a name meant that he was no longer a simple monster, though very strong, but someone who was a significant player in the entire world.

"Fine... In that case, I'll do as you say." The wolf whispered as the corners of his mouth lifted slightly upward.

"Do you know what name you want yet?" Elegan asked, "I remember having to resort to strange ways to explain my name to Wain, but I knew exactly what I wanted from the beginning."

Wolf nodded, "Sure. I don't know if it's supposed to be pathos or not, but I'll do it my way. Now call me Ferner, that's my name. I'm not a wild wolf anymore."

Everyone nodded, showing their approval as suddenly Reto ran forward and put his hand on Ferner's shoulder as if he wanted to say something.

"Hey, since everything ended well, why don't we have a feast? After all, there's a new Fifth Chronicle monster in our Void, but not just any monster but one with two attributes! It's incredible, isn't it?" Reto looked at the others.

"Agh... Reto, can you think of anything other than drinking and feasting?" Wain muttered with a bitter smile, "I don't think we can refuse, though. You can't insult the person who gave us such an incredible show."

"I agree." Frigus stepped forward as his gaze went to Ferner, "In this Void, each territory has its own leader who is one of the strongest among thousands of monsters. You are strong enough to be the leader of a territory, but as you know, there are no vacancies."

Frigus continued as he pointed his sword at Ferner's chest, "I want you to be my main helper. The second monster in my territory. I hope the snowy deserts and icy caves don't get in your way."

"Hah, of course not. I will gladly help you manage your vast territory. With the exception of the Leader, you are the strongest in the area, so I hope I can learn a lot from you." Ferner said with gratitude and a sincere look.

"Don't worry. We'll train and spar often, I'm sure you'll reach the Demigod Stage like me after a while." Frigus nodded as a slight smile appeared on his face.

Whoooooooooosh.

Suddenly a shadow appeared between them, that grabbed Ferner by the arm, "Hey, don't you dare take him all for yourself!" Nicole exclaimed with a frown, "I actually put a lot of effort into getting Ferner to heal, too!"

"Agh...?" Frigus was puzzled as Ferner's face turned pale.

'Hey... You almost killed me... You know?' Ferner muttered inwardly, 'Although... Damn, you're right. If it wasn't for your cruelty, maybe I wouldn't have found the strength and none of this would have happened.'

"I don't mind him being your chief assistant, but I don't want him spending all his time on your property!" Nicole said menacingly with narrowed eyes, "Ferner is strong, I want him to fight me sometimes!"

"Agh... So that's the problem..." Frigus sighed in relief.

"Hah, don't worry, I'll definitely come into your territory. You're very strong, too." Ferner grinned.

Wain looked at all this and unconsciously a satisfied smile appeared on his face, 'Damn... This is really cool... I hope it ends soon and it lasts forever.'
