Becoming A Beast Tamer (Part 1)

When morning came...

"Finally! Time to start." Jay said happily as he looked at the sun rising from his room.

Barton's Mage Tower

"What!? Impossible!? The long lost bloodline of the Golden Thunderblaze Phoenix actually resides in this golden chicken... But how??? How did even get here in the first place?"

Barton said as he observed and conducted experiments on Nuggets, the golden chicken, Jay's companion whom he left in the mage tower.

If Jay was here, he might have regretted leaving Nuggets if he heard what Barton said.

"Better ask the guards. It's impossible that they did not notice a golden chicken enter my tower."

Barton then called the mercenary guards he hired.

"The both of you, do you know how this golden chicken entered my tower?" Barton asked as he looked seriously at both of the guards.

"Hey bro, isn't that the one the human sized chicken was carrying, the one that Lord Barton invited in his tower?" The guard whispered to the other guard.

"Why are you telling me this? Go tell Lord Barton before he fires the both of us." The other guard replied.

"(Oh yeah. Crap...) Lord Barton, it was actually yesterday when..." the guard then recalled everything he knew about Nuggets and about 'the human sized chicken.'

"THAT KID?! Hurry up and find him. I need to talk to him. HURRY! Nevermind, I will look for him myself. As for the both of you, go back to your posts."

Barton then grabbed Nuggets as he flew out from the window of his Mage Tower.

Murkwood Town, Adventurer's Guild

** An Adventurer's guild is a guild that is run by an NPC. It is where players ask requests, hire NPC mercenaries, ask about information, and find class tutors.

Jay went around the Adventurer's guild until he spotted a strange looking NPC. When observed closely, this NPC is actually a Dwarf which can be seen to his small height, chubby appearance, bald head, and a stubby beard. He even has a lot of scars on his face.

Other players avoid this NPC after they saw his description using observation due to some reasons.

"Interesting. I got lucky this time. With this class, I might be able to build a beast army of my own." Jay thought to himself as he used 'Observation' on the NPC in front of him.

-------------------------------------------------

[John Joe Jack - Rare NPC (Beast Tamer - Class Tutor)

*NPC stats are not available for viewing. Must complete class quest.

- Costs 5 Silver coins. Accept? Yes/No]

--------------------------------------------------

"So this is why others avoid him. He actually asks for 5 Silver in order to teach a player how to become a beast tamer. It might be impossible for other players to learn this class since they barely got enough coins, but for me it is a different story... hehehe..."

Jay then approached the NPC

"Mr. John Jack Joe, I would like to be a Beast Tamer. Can you accept me under your tutelage?"

Jay asked the Dwarf NPC.

"Money first. Talk later." The dwarf replied. So Jay handed over 5 silver coins to the dwarf.

"Okay. Call me Jack next time. Hearing my full name is a bit weird. Nyahahaha! Here. Take this emblem and scroll. When you're ready, tear the scroll to start."

The dwarf then handed over a strange looking scroll and emblem to Jay.

[Jack's Emblem (Quest Item)

- Jack will use this to communicate with you when undergoing the class trial.

- Will disappear after player completes Class trial.]

[Class Scroll: Beast Tamer

- (Activated by tearing scroll) Teleports player to a random destination and starts 'Beast Tamer Class Trial']

Jay then ripped the scroll and then received notifications from the system.

[Jay will now be undergoing Beast Tamer Class Trial...]

[Jay will be teleported to an unknown location in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...]

[Jay is now on Kagruu Plains]

Meanwhile, after Jay just got teleported to Kagruu Plains, Barton arrived at the Adventurer's Guild.

He went towards the Guild's receptionist and asked, "Hey, I need information about a kid named Jay Castle. Has black, long hair. Brown eyes. Has normal weight and height."

The Guild receptionist then replied: "My lord, I do remember a kid who fits the description you said. He was last seen with John, the dwarf over there."

She then pointed at John, who was currently drinking beer and reading a book.

"Thank you very much." Barton then went over to Jack and asked about Jay's whereabouts.

"I am sorry Lord Barton, but the kid is undergoing my 'Beast Class Trial' which I believe I have set the time limit to 3 hours. May I ask if I should pull him out of the Class trial for now?" John said to Barton.

"No, never mind. Just tell the kid to come to my tower after he is done with the class trial. Tell him it is very important that he comes over quickly." Barton said.

"Of course, my lord. Ummm... My lord, may I ask you a question? What is that?" Jack asked as he looked at a strange golden 'object' on Barton's arms.

"Oh, this... It's nothing. Just a spell I am currently working on." Barton replied before he left.

Outside the Adventurer's Guild...

"Whew! That Dwarf NPC can actually repel a bit of my Illusion Magic. John was it? Interesting."

Barton thought to himself since he used a few Illusion Spells around him to hide Nuggets, who

he is sitting still in his arms. But even with a few Illusion spells cast, John actually can still see through it and saw Nuggets.

"Must not let anyone know how precious this guy is. Except for Jay of course. Good thing that dwarf thought of Nuggets as an object. "

Meanwhile... In Kagruu Plains

"It looks like I got teleported to an area that is near my level."

Jay thought to himself since he was currently Level 2 at the moment and Kagruu Plains was an area low leveled players frequented due to Kagruu Plains being an area filled with monsters ranging from Level 0 to Level 6.

While Jay was preparing himself, a grumpy male voice emanated from the emblem John gave him.
