Chapter 3: A Phoenix Egg
A two meter wall with boxes appeared in front of Sachi, like candy games she played n her phone on earth. In each box was an egg of a different color. In the middle of the box was a wheel just like some jackpot game. The wheel started to spin.
As it stopped, the system's voice sounded out "As a welcoming gift the owner has received a Phoenix egg."
"From next time, the owner has to earn a draw to receive an egg. It can be done in many ways either by accomplishing tasks or completing difficult level up" the system informed.
"Systems Sama, thank you" said Sachi bowing a little towards the sky and illusionary wheel, she was very joyous in her heart. This was an unexpected huge gain.
A big egg dropped infront of her. She picked up the egg with both her hands and looked at it curiously. It was in snow white colour, with a special design around it. The egg felt very cold, it felt like she was catching an ice on her hand instead of an egg.
"How to hatch this?" thought Sachi. She imagined about mother birds on earth. "Dang..." she thought as images flooded her mind.
"Main Quest: Hatch the Phoenix Egg. You will have your first pet Phoenix."
"Quest Reward: EXP * 10, gold * 200."
"WOW!" her mouth became an O shape again; her eyes had a big smile.
However it did not last long because she did not know how to hatch it. Does she have to sit on it like a mother bird? Nah..." she though.
"Ahh... system sama how to hatch the egg, please enlighten me with your wise words" Sachi said looking towards the sky.
The system's voice immediately sounded, "The host's blood can hatch the sleeping Phoenix baby."
"Does this mean I need to form a blood contract with the Phoenix egg to hatch it like in the games and novels?
Sachi looked around and found a sharp looking stone and placed it on her finger "okay Sachi here you go don't think about anything, just a small cut that's all" she tried to encourage herself "No pain no gain, let's go for it" she thought and quickly cut her finger.
"Ouch!" a small cry escaped her lips as she split the skin on her finger.
A few drops of red blood slowly slid down and dripped onto the snow white egg. As her wound healed the flow stopped. There was no trace of the wound left as she checked her finger.
Suddenly, a magical scene happened.
Sachi watched as the Phoenix egg absorb the drops of blood fell on it like a sponge.
The egg vibrated, so she quickly caught it tightly with both hands so that it doesn't fall.
Slowly cracks formed on egg and a small head popped out. It was very cute.
"Preww.." the head chirped.
"Quee.. Quee..." The cute bird which looked like a little chicken chirped as it came out.
Sachi was unable to stop a smile as she looked at the little one. She petted it with her index finger. Its head was very smooth and the baby phoenix liked it as it sticked out its head for more.
It was ice phoenix. Sachi did not feel cold or freezing, as it's master she felt only normal.
Suddenly Sachi felt something in her body as an unexpected energy flowed through her and a bond formed in her soul.
Her body started to change. From outside she was the same. However her aura, energy and internal structure were changing. She felt powerful and her skin was smooth and there was subtle shine to it. She was like a shining pearl. Her beauty increased.
"Mission completed. Congratulations to the island owner for having the first phoenix. Rewards: Experience points * 10, gold coins * 200."
"Awesome..."
"Please enter the name" the system sounded. Then an attributes panel appeared infront of her.

"Hmm... name" Sachi fell into a thought.
"How about unique or..?" she suddenly through something.
"Wait, are you a male or female?" she wondered.
The baby phoenix did not understand her though at first, and it looked at Sachi with a puzzled look turning its head to the side.
Looking at it's puzzled expression and cutely turning it's head a chuckle escaped Sachi's lips.
"I do not know how much you understand, but I am thinking if you are a boy or a girl?" said Sachi patting its head.
The phoenix cried "preww..." an image appeared and disappeared in sachi's head. It took a second for Sachi to make sense of it.
"Was that you?" she asked amazed.
The baby was trying to communicate, and it showed images of girl, the pictures looked like Sachi in her childhood.
Sachi laughed at the baby phoenix's ways of communication. It was thought communicating by taking images and memories from her.
"So you are a girl. Okay,.." suddenly she saw a small feather standing on the baby's head, it was tiny. Sachi felt like it will grow as the phoenix grew. The feather was snow white in color.
"Snow white?" a thought and image popped in her head, snow white and seven dwarfs story came to her mind.
The story of a princess who was the most beautiful and prince charming.
"How about snow, snow white or... no as she saw the feather again she felt more like she was looking at a queen. Okay, it's decided you will be called Queen"
