2 survive mission complete?

<Eeeehhhhhh? Was I transported to another world? "Conquear the heavens"? This is a game? But I'm sure I did not sign up for a game with that name ... But importantly this body is definitely not mine, it's kind of delicate but it's a right man?>

[System strongly recommends that host pay attention to the current mission and its surroundings. After the danger has passed the system will answer the host's questions]

<Mission? What mission?>

[Answering the question. Current mission: survive, time limit: 5 minutes, completion rate: 0%, if host fails it will be killed]

<Survive? Survive what?>

Before the system answered me something cold, he nudged me on the arm. Finally returning my attention towards my enviroment I found myself sitting in the middle of a circle of stones with some strange symbols stuck in them, although I was in the forest could see some distant pillars positioned around the circle that I found, maybe it was the ruins of a Temple? But that did not matter now because I looked at the thing that had poked me and I started to shake.

[The body does possess such techniques but because of the spiritual root still being a sprout the chances of escaping unseen are below 1%]

[According to system analysis the most viable way would be to use the tame technique to turn the hazard into its subordinate. But with its initial status it would be necessary to use 15 of the remaining 20 starting points to supply the required mana and the success rate would be around 40%]

<I'm dead>, I thought as I studied the danger in front of me. It was a monster at least 3 meters tall, it resembled a tiger with silver fur and blue stripes, the most notable differences being the horns that came out of his head (3 varying between blue, red and green), the scaly wings, and a tail resembling a lion's tail (containing scales on the body and at the tip). The beast's face was close to my face, trying not to incite his predatory instincts (it's impossible a beast with these teeth not to be carnivorous) I kept as quiet as possible.

[Answer: host will also die]

Holy shit, it seems the only way is to die or die fighting. Since I am in this situation I will fight with everything. <System transfer information from the Tame skill.>

[Do you want to spend 15 points for this?]

<Yes>

[Confirmed emergency transfer of ability, 30% transfer fee]

But before I could react the monster tiger gave a disgusted grunt and approached me with open mouth. That's it, it's over, im so dead, goodbye cruel world, goodbye mother and father, I hope you're happy. Closing my eyes, I waited for the pain and the noise of my bones breaking, and after a moment I felt something like sandpaper ... The monster's tongue licking through my body. Was he tasting before eating? A short time later I heard weak words calling me.

{child .... is ... answer}

<...what?>

[System encountered indications of attempted mental communication, allow attempt?]

<...yea.>

[Mental connection enabled]

At that moment a voice like thunder came into my mental ears.

{Son of man, are you okay? Can you hear me? Please answer}

{I am the venerable white tiger and you have entered my property. Usually I would have eliminated you but you have a good smell and your wavelenght (almost like a magic wave) is really comfortable. Usually intruders have a disgusting and vicious wavelenght. Coupled with the fact that you appeared at this altar and was emanating confusion I realized that I should not know where I was. So answer me, what are your business in this forest?

<I-I'm not ..... > At that moment a series of images appeared in my mind, followed by the voice of the system.

[Recovery of Secondary Host Memory: 20% Complete]

<I was betrayed?> I answered the venerable tiger as my memories gradually returned. <The people with whom I was deceived, removed my spiritual root, and injured my meridians to the point of becoming a cripple to be able to cultivate. While I was fainting, should they have moved me here?> I finished with a question because I did not know how there was, or rather the owner of the original body, had stopped there.

{You're telling the truth son of a human. I actually felt a disturbance in the forest last night, as I investigated I found two men who were not good people carrying a third. Furious at having such plagues immaculating my place I pursued the two men. To save their lives they dropped the body in this circle. The wavelength that emanated from the body was so weak and I thought I would not be able to survive. But you not only survived but somehow healed your meridians and got a new spiritual root from what I can see. Maybe these events were not coincidences, maybe you're the one I've been waiting for.}

{A long time ago I had a master who took care of me since I was a cub, he was wise, strong, brave and gentle without him I would not have been able to reach the level I have today. Unfortunately he was almost murdered by rivals while pursuing the path of immortality. I managed to get him out of the killers but it was too late, he had suffered serious injuries and would last only a short time. Worried about what would become of me, he used his ultimate strength to use a technique of divination. He saw that in the future someone worthy of being my master would appear on this altar and, as last words, asked me to keep this place until the day arrived. But I did not follow his desire immediately because I was overcome with a desire for revenge. When I finally eradicated evil by the root that had killed my master, I felt a void and decided to accept the last wish of my master finally. But it had taken me a long time, and the temple that once existed here destroyed only the circle of the altar that remained. Not wanting to disobey my master anymore, I moved to these forests and protected what was left. Because of my change many cultivators tried to enter this place thinking they had some treasure or trying to make me their contracted beast. None of them managed to defeat me and with each fight I got stronger until I reached my current stage. Centuries passed and when my hope was dead you appeared, your wavelength is really comfortable and nostalgic, reminds me of my old master, wish we could make a contract, but at your current level you could not stand.

<That's true?> I asked the system exclusively after being surprised for the story told by the tiger.

[According to analysis made by the system the tiger does not mind. If you tried to make a contract with normal techniques the tiger's power would really be too excessive and would cause the mana-burning effect on the host. But using the technique of tame, the object that is intended for technique, if it is a success, will suit the needs of the host and when the host increases its resistance gradually the monster on the contract goes back to its original strength. ]

[According to my calculations, if the monster is not resilient, in this specific case, there is a 65% chance of success.]

Well....we are here and the venerable tiger is wanting to form a contract. <Venerable tiger, I own a skill called Tame that allows me to contract with beasts. The difference is that my technique makes the monster hired to suit my needs. Do not worry that your strength will stay safe and will be released gradually.>

{If such a technique really exists it's really formidable. If it is not dangerous for you I am willing to make this contract. So I will settle my duty with my former master and be able to explore the world again.}

Well at least he spoke the truth right? It's not as if a monster so powerful would want to make a contract out of nothing. <System Please show me how to activate the skill.>

[Warning: due to host level using this ability can lead to loss of consciousness at best, do you want to proceed?]

Yes. After my response information began to appear in my head, after a minute processing I looked at the tiger that was ready and said.

- Tame.

At that moment an intricate circle appeared below the tiger and began to emit a green light that gradually grew stronger. I began to feel something coming out of my veins every time the glow brightened. After a while I began to feel dizzy, following the instructions of the system I fought to keep my consciousness. When I thought I could not hold it any longer, the message "contract made successfully" appeared in my head and I finally let the darkness embrace me.
