1 Awakening
"A-level talent. A promising student!" A man wearing rounded eyeglasses with brown unruly hair said enthusiastically.
After all, Ashbury is about to have a rising star.
The man was standing on the other side of a cobblestone table. On the table placed was a glowing red pyramid with intricate carves and designs.
At the other side of the table, was a teenager with ash-blonde hair slicked back. He has sharp cerulean eyes. He was wearing a polo long-sleeve top with a gray vest with yellow linen.
"Mr. Cyan Walker, please fill in this sheet with your contact info. So we the Academy can get in touch with you and help you build a foundation. After all, with your A-level talent you can reach even the Platinum Rank." The man said with a smile while handing the teenager a folder.
The ash-blonde teenager named Cyan nodded indifferently and took the folder and began to write on it.
After a moment, he gave the folder back. And the man kept talking to Cyan. After all, investment is a must.
After minutes of talking, Cyan walk out of the room and strode into the hallway.
At the end of the hallway was a lobby with students piling up in there. When those students saw Cyan, they look at him with varying expressions. Some are admiring, envious and hopeful.
Cyan knows what the reason for that is.
Because he was awakened. And not a normal one at that. But an A-level talent.
Here in Blue Star, beast-taming is the stream. But not everyone can become a beast tamer. They have to be awakened first. And not everyone can be awakened just on a whim.
Out of 100 people, only about 15 to 20 can be awakened. And most of them are commonly awakened. From E-level talent to B-level talent. You were even lucky to awaken a B-level talent.
After all, under normal circumstances, B-level is the highest talent that can one individual get. And A-level talent is even rare. Every year about 5 to 10 people in a whole country can awaken A-level talent.
As for higher talents, such as S-level, SS-level, and SSS-level, they were the strongest and even the rarest. But among them, only S-level is recorded. SS-level and SSS-level talent is just a myth.
So having an A-level talent is already unimaginable. They can also become ceiling figures.
Cyan sighed because of this.
Because his talent is A-level and belongs to those first-class talents. It is A-level Fusion talent.
Fusion allows someone to merge with their beasts and allow them to use their beast's power. By even using it to the extreme, one's physical strength can increase significantly by a small margin.
It can be said, having this talent was great. But Cyan didn't feel like it.
He was annoyed. After all, he has big expectations. He thought he will awaken a system like those main leads that reincarnated like in the few novels he read back to where he once lived.
After all, like them, he reincarnated.
Yes, he was reincarnated. He was originally an ordinary salary man living on Earth, but because of a calamity, he died. Great.
It was four months ago. When he was still on Earth. It was the weekend so a day off from work. He wants to buy anime merchandise from an anime merchandise store. But who would know if luck is not on his side that day?
An earthquake happens. And it happened so fast that he hadn't reacted and he was crushed by the shelves and walls of that shot. And in the end, he died!
At first, Cyan was bitter. After all, he just wants to live quietly and enjoys the thing he wants away from his family which is bigostic towards him because he didn't have an ambition in his life. He didn't want to be successful and be a doctor like everyone in his family so he was cast aside.
And just as he was coming to be happy with his situation, he died like that?
But when he reincarnated, Cyan felt happy again. He thinks perhaps that this is the way luck would pay for the misfortunes that happened to him.
But when he awakened today, Cyan felt bitter again. Because the system he was thinking he might have didn't appear.
Anyway, with his Fusion talent, he is destined to be one of the pillars of the Northern Sky Country.
Cyan shook his head and immediately continue walking toward where he lived.
"Granny, I'm home." He calls out as soon as he walks in.
The house was ordinary, made from oak wood. But the cleanliness makes the atmosphere of the house great. With some bonsai and flower plants at the side. Giving people a sense of comfort and nostalgia.
"Cy, you're home. How was your day?" A cracking voice said coming from the left of the house which is the kitchen. Following it is an old woman with gray hair and blue eyes. Her skin is wrinkled and pale.
She was holding a wooden tray with a teapot on it as she comes towards the living room where Cyan is.
"It's great, granny," Cyan said with a small smile as he comes up to help the old woman, her grandmother. His only relative left.
His parents were both beast-tamers of the medicinal department. So when beast tides appeared, they are always at the front line and stand by. But they met a tragic end when Cyan was only a 5-year-old kid. That was from the memories of the past Cyan.
Cyan immediately help his grandma sit down on the sofa and pour in tea for both of them.
"I'm awakened by the way, granny," Cyan added as they began to talk.
The old woman looks up at him with worried eyes.
"Don't worry, granny. I won't meet the same end as my parents." Cyan gently soothes his grandma. As if knowing what was on her mind.
Well, from his predecessor's memories, Cyan noticed that the former Cyan didn't have the idea of becoming a beast-tamer because he just wants to live quietly with his grandma.
After all, the life of a beast-tamer isn't all about caring for and petting the beast. It is not about showing flashy skills and evolution forms.
It is much crueler. Bloody. In the wild, you're responsible for your safety. If you're fighting ferocious beasts, it's a life-and-death battle. Just one mistake would mean death. You won't even have an inkling idea of what was going to happen, if you are going to survive or not.
His grandma just look at him quietly before sighing.
"This old woman can't change your mind now right?" She spoke in resignation.
Cyan just shook his head and smiled thinly. Seeing this, the old woman's eyes suddenly cleared. She knows she can't stop her grandson and just have to support him through it.
"We have to get you your first beast, maybe a gold potential beast. I have kept a few gold coins, we can use that so it will get you at least a good beast." The old woman said.
Hearing this, Cyan shook his head and immediately replied.
"No need to be concerned, gran. The school will help me with it. And even if the beast they gave isn't good enough, the gold and treasures that my parents left can be used."
Being a beast-tamer, although it consumes a lot of resources, it can also give you back a lot of benefits. One of them is a considerable amount of gold. After all, being a beast-tamer is dangerous. So the payment for their work is high.
The grandson and grandmother began to talk with each other, about the things that may happen in the future.
Hours have passed and it's already evening. The duo has already eaten dinner and they are already about to sleep. Well, Cyan's grandma is in her room, about to sleep already.
While Cyan was in their backyard. He was sitting crosswise, arms folded and eyes closed. He was in meditation, his mind in deep concentration.
What he was doing was an initial step to building his beast space. One needs to be in a spiritual state to be able to touch at least the mana and use it to build his beast space.
Cyan was also getting familiar with his talent. Although he already awakened his talent, they at least have to get familiar with it. Otherwise on the first use, it can overdraft one's physical strength and energy, or worse even leave them in a state of injury.
But as Cyan was meditating, a strange thing happened. In his mind, there seems to be continuous thunder rumbling, with blue texts appearing.
[ Ding!
The host's name is Cyan Walker...
The host talent is awakened...
The host situation is stable...
A-level Talent 'Fusion' is undergoing modification...
A-level talent 'Fusion' has successfully been modified into SSS-level Talent 'Chaotic Convergence'.]
Saying Cyan was shocked is an understatement!
This was simply... Amazing!
His talent has mutated!
And judging from what happening, this is not the end at all.
Soon, another change on the blue screen texts appeared.
[Data configuration...
System integration...
Connecting...
Functions assimilation...
Successful!
«Anime System» has been connected with the host!
System Settings opened!]

«Selected Anime Character Template Card ×1»
«Selected Anime Artifact Card ×1»]
Cyan didn't know when it happened, but his eyes were already open. He was in a daze.
Because this was so against the sky!
Calming down himself again, seconds or minutes he didn't know, Cyan closed his eyes and began to get familiar again with his talent.
He was shocked! Because this is not like fusion!
Fusion can only be merged with one beast. But Chaotic Convergence is different.
By using Chaos Convergence, you can be fused with any beast at the same time. Meaning to say he can fuse two or three beasts at the same time so the power he can have is even greater. But because of it, there is even greater consumption.
Not only that but by using it to the extreme, there was even a chance of permanently getting the merged being's talent as long as it is compatible!
Although it is limited as the mastery of talent depends on rank. But still, this talent is great. Because the combat effectiveness of the beast master will be raised!
In the wild, why is the death rate of beast masters so high?
It is because although the beast tamer can help one beast to raise its combat ability, at the same time it will still be limited. After all, the beast has to protect its beast tamer.
So this talent is useful for Cyan, making it so he does not fall behind his beast regardless of rank.
Moreover, it is an SSS-Level Talent! Not just a simple S-Level talent.
In the history of beast tamers, how many there have S-Level talents? It can be counted on one hand. Not to mention, SSS-Level talent. There is not even a single record of someone having it.
Taking a deep breath again, Cyan explored his system.
And he discovered a lot of things!
Identification will help him identify the source of any objects and beings, although specific details cannot be seen, it is still useful!
In secret realms, what if he identifies a rare resource that some people don't know? It is already a huge gain!
In addition, he has the inventory! Inventory can help him store objects at a fixed number! At the moment, up to 100 objects can be stored!
Perhaps it is a small number, but it is still useful! Imagine, if he countered a huge rare resource in a secret realm and he doesn't have any container!?
Cyan can directly use inventory as storage! And corpses can also be stored! Not to mention, if you ever obtained a resource that is scarce rare, it might attract trouble. So the strategic use inventory will provide protection and safety for Cyan.
Next, Cyan looks at Lottery Draw. Staring at it, Cyan immediately knew its function.
First is tokens, which can be obtained by completing and doing various tasks, you can use a lottery draw! Tokens can also be obtained by killing beasts.
In the lottery draw, there are different rewards!
Like healing medicines that came from different anime such as Pokemon.
There is also the reward that he got earlier!
Selected Anime Character Template Cards can be used to select specific anime characters and integrate them into his contracted beasts so the uniqueness of that anime character will be obtained by the beast. For example, the Unique Skill Predate of Rimuru Tempest can be obtained by selecting it.
The same goes for the Skill Card and Artifact Card. The only difference is it is that the artifact of the selected character can be integrated into his contract beast.
On the lottery draws there are similar things, the only difference is it's Random.
Random Anime Character Template Card. Random Anime Artifact Template Card.
It's different from the rewards that he got which he can specifically choose what he wants to be integrated.
By random, meaning the template that he will get will be completely random. But still, for Cyan, it's not a loss. After all, if it's not compatible with his current beast, he can just store it in inventory and wait until he contracted a beast with compatibility.
Moments pass by, it may be a second, minutes, or even hours, Cyan didn't know. He opened his eyes as he exited his consciousness.
Cyan suddenly felt that the road of beast taming was bright!
