Is it okay if I follow you?

"Who are you? Pssshhh"

A snake raised its head as high as Logan's, sticking out its tongue repeatedly, looking at Logan with its sharp, dark green eyes.

"I'm Logan Evans."

The Snake hissed again, staring at Logan. Bringing its head closer, it opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth. The Snake's tongue licked Logan's face, but he remained calm as he stood there.

"So you are a poisonous snake, huh? Not bad."

Poisonous Snakes are monsters often found at low tiers, from 2 to 3. But, it is not uncommon for those who can survive to reach tier 5 or 6. They are monsters that are indeed quite difficult to deal with. But if one had the antidote for the poison, they would be effortless to subdue.

"I'm not that easy to control, pssshhh."

A weapon with a Monster Soul Stone contains the monster's soul within it. Weapons with this characteristic had a higher growth potential than those made using only Monster Cores. But, there are also difficulties in using it. One must first form a bond with the soul contained within the weapon. Something that can take a while or a long time depending on the user's suitability. But not with Logan. He had his own way of dealing with it.

"Sadly, that rule doesn't apply to me."

Logan walked forward. The Snake instinctively felt something strange and then pulled his body, but it was not swift enough. Logan grabbed the Snake's jaw, gripped it, and dropped it to the floor.

Instead of attacking back, the Snake flopped on the floor, feeling a pain in his body that shouldn't have happened with just a weak grip shown by Logan.

"Who are you?? Pssshhh…."

"I'm the Soul Emperor. every soul should kneel in front of me."

"Noo..."

Logan tightened his grip. The Snake's jaw was wide open, but Logan was unaffected by the Snake's sharp teeth hitting his finger.

"Submit to me!"

Logan intends to completely wipe out this Snake's soul if he refuses to surrender. Weapons made with only tier 2 monster materials were better than having a weapon with a soul that he couldn't control.

"Nooo…. Pssshhh"

The poisonous Snake in front of Logan wrapped its body around Logan's legs, but it wasn't strong enough to make him feel affected.

"Say no, and your life ends here."

"Pssshhh…"

"Follow me and I'll give you enough soul to grow."

"Pssshhh…. All right."

The Snake quit struggling, and Logan also released his grip.

This space was called the Soul Domain. A special place that only Logan and the souls he allows access to could enter. Logan had full control in this place. And this privilege was also one of the skills given by the soul emperor class he has.

Logan smiled viciously, seeing how easily he subdued a weapon with a soul in it. With enough time, he believed he could also shift the position of the gods in this world. No, he didn't mean to change the story. Just having power and authority doesn't seem too bad, right?

The giant snake, this time, seemed silent and no longer as aggressive as before. The statement of a submission made by the soul is a contract which also means that he will devote his soul to Logan.

"Ok, what skills do you have?"

"Poison Bites. I love to eat my prey until death. Master, you can count on me. In my life, I was quite respected by fellow monsters at my tier."

"Since when are tier 2 monsters being respected? Even if only fighting ordinary humans, they might be defeated."

Poison Bite is an ordinary skill possessed by monsters with the attribute of poison. This skill makes anyone who receives an attack get poison with a power that matches the tier of the monster or soul that did it.

Indeed, they were just a soul implanted in a weapon this time. They cannot produce their own poison. What actually happens is that they use the energy possessed by the user to change the mana attribute into a toxin that is used to attack the opponent.

"Not bad. Anything else?"

"Sorry Master, that was the only thing I have for now."

"Pretty useless for something that has a high price like you."

For others, it was possible that a weapon with a soul would forever stay at the same tier. But that doesn't apply to Logan. With the class he had, he could increase the soul tier of the monster by giving them food. Another soul as a food, of course.

Logan thought, is a Poisonous Snake worth tiering up? Why didn't he just look for a higher-tier monster and make another weapon with it?

But even if he no longer needed this weapon, he could exchange it for Gold, which would mean he had lost nothing from the effort he had put in.

Logan smiled, then turned around and closed his eyes. The urban noises returned to his ears, as did Alice's, who called out to him.

"Brother…"

Logan looked at his sister's sweet face, worried, then smiled and pinched her cheek.

Logan stood up and walked away without answering Alice's question. He looked at the weapon in his hand, then threw it at the back of the body, which disappeared instantly after moving to the Inventory.

"Is that a good weapon?"

"Not that good, useless I think. But not bad, for starters."

Alice smiled at her brother's satisfying answer. Jogging to match Logan's pace, which this time was faster than before.

'Master… you said you wanted to tier me up pssshhh…. Please don't throw me away.'

'Did I?'

'Yes, Master, please, you have promised me… Pssshhh…'

'I will not throw you away, just sell you for some gold.'

'Pssshhh… Noo….'

Logan had got everything he needed. Two classes that were very suitable for the way he fights. As well as a weapon that also matched the class he had. He would quickly tier up and become more vital with these two things.

"Ok, now Alice, I want to take a quick tour of the nearby forest to hunt some low-tier monsters. What do you want to do?"

Alice was still curious about all the things that happened today. She was also curious about her brother's new skills.

"Is it okay if I follow you?"

Logan paused, then looked at his sister's curious face. If he only intended to hunt low-tier monsters, to begin with, taking Alice was no problem for him.

Logan nodded.
