"Mischievous God Zoo?" Wayne furrowed his brows together while looking at the big sign in front of him.

As if the shocking event that just took place wasn't over yet, huge stone brick walls suddenly started rising up from both sides of the signboard.

WHOOOOOOOSH!

"This..."

Wayne who was watching all of these happening in front of him can't help falling to his back.

While such a strange yet magical scene was happening, the Orange Cube inside of one of Wayne's pockets also started merging with his body.

"What the fuck is happening!" Wayne loudly swore while looking at the shocking scene in front of him.

Ting!

Suddenly, a female's voice sounded inside of Wayne's mind.

[The construction for the Mischievous Lion Zoo is now completed!]

After those words were spoken, the stone brick walls finally stopped rising.

[Locating Host...]

[Host Found!]

[Welcome, Wayne Anderson, to the Mischievous God Zoo. I'm your personal assistant-system, the 8th Sin of Creation, or you can just simply also call me, Gaia. I will be helping you in managing the Mischievous God Zoo to the best of my abilities!]

[To continue, please choose a Magical Beast!]

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Suddenly, in front of Wayne, three small pillars with three eggs of different colors on top, specifically green, brown, and gray, slowly rose up from the ground.

[The first Magical Beast is called Nature Bird. It's an Aerial type Magical Beast of the Nature Element. Currently Level 1 and has learned two abilities; a Physical Attack called Peck, and an Element Attack called Natureball. Weakness, Fire Element.]

[The second Magical Beast is called Earth Tortoise. It's a Land type Magical Beast of the Earth Element. Currently Level 1 and has learned two abilities; a Physical Attack called Headbutt, and an Element Attack called Earthball. Weakness, Nature Element.]

[The third Magical Beast is called Wind Salamander. It's a level 1 Aqua/Land type Magical Beast of the Wind Element. Currently Level 1 and has learned two abilities; a Physical Attack called Tail Whip, and an Element Attack called Windball. Weakness, Earth Element.]

[I suggest you pick wisely, Wayne Anderson. Your Fate entirely depends on what kind of Magical Beast you will choose amongst the three!]

Wayne quickly pulled himself together after hearing the female's voice inside his mind.

He doesn't know what is exactly happening to him and where he's at right now, but there is one thing he knows for certain, and that is to just simply follow what is being told to him to do. Maybe it's through this that he will be able to find the answer to his question.

Wayne slowly walked in front of the three eggs while thinking inside his mind on what so-called Magical Beast he should choose.

If this was just a game, he would have definitely just chosen a random egg to quickly continue. After all, there is always an option called 'Reset' in the game which would conveniently take him back right from the very beginning of the game and start a new game whenever he doesn't like his current status in the game. But right now, he strongly doubts that such a thing could actually exist.

Not to mention, the female's voice inside his mind also specifically told him that his Fate would entirely depend on what kind of Magical Beast he would choose amongst the three Magical Beast's eggs.

One wrong move and it might cause him his end...

However, thinking deeply, the situation he's in right now is actually somewhat similar to the game called Pokemon, where a Professor would ask the player to choose what Pokemon they want to be partnered with.

"In Pokemon, there is no weaker Pokemon than the other, but rather it depends on the skill of the player on choosing what four abilities their Pokemons should have and their levels... Unfortunately... how the heck could I choose between, Natureball, Earthball, and Windball, ha?! These three abilities are practically the same, only that they are made up of different Elements!" Wayne exclaimed inwardly.

Natureball, Earthball, and Windball, all of these three abilities should be an ability that deals the same effect and could only be weakened when used against their own weaknesses.

Therefore, he could only depend on their Physical Attack. But there's still one problem...

"Peck, Headbutt, and Tailwhip, considering that they are all Level 1 Magical Beasts, then these attacks should all be the very basics. And additionally, considering that these three Magical Beasts were presented here together, meaning to say that they should have the same strength as well," Wayne is really having trouble on what Magical Beast to choose.

Suddenly, though, Wayne thought of something...

"If their abilities are not the issue here, then this leaves me with what kind of advantages I could get when choosing a bird, a tortoise, or a salamander," Wayne finally understood the meaning behind his Fate depends on what kind of Magical Beast he will choose.

At first, he really thought that the difference between the three Magical Beasts was about their given abilities. But thinking logically, with all of them presented here in front of him right now, they should all have similar strength.

But considering that one is a bird, the other is a tortoise, and the last one is a salamander, each of them of a different species and living in a different environment, thus giving him the answer that what he should choose right now should be what kind of Magical Beast he really needed.

After thinking briefly, Wayne finally decided on what Magical Beast he would be choosing, "I choose the Wind Salamander,"

Amongst the three Magical Beasts, the Nature Bird should be good in scouting and navigation aside from its given abilities, while on the other hand, the Earth Tortoise should be good in defense and protection aside from its given abilities as well. However, both aren't really what he needed right this very moment.

He doesn't need any scouting nor navigating that the Nature Bird could offer to him, especially since he's currently inside a very protected place called Mischievous God Zoo and he's also not planning ongoing around any places yet until he knows what is going on right now.

Although he could use some defense and protection from the Earth Tortoise, but what's the use of that when his ability to fight back is going to be limited, right? Not to mention, tortoises are always considered slow. He doesn't know clearly yet whether that same rule also applies for these so-called Magical Beasts, but just to be safe, he would not choose the Earth Tortoise.

On the other hand, the Wind Salamander should be a versatile kind of Magical Beast, considering that it cannot only walk on land but also swim in the water as well. Though he isn't sure yet what it could provide to him aside from its given abilities, but that is exactly the main reason why he decided to choose it.

Sometimes, one should pick the unknown instead of what they already know about. Fate knows, maybe he'd just get a surprise or something.

He hopes so...

One thing is for certain though, the Wind Salamander should be able to allow him to fight back in this new and unfamiliar world.

[Are you sure about choosing the Wind Salamander?]

"Yes, I'm sure!" Wayne replied confidently. As a veteran gamer, he has long trusted his analyzing skills as it has been hone thoroughly throughout the numerous games he has played before.

Also, the main and exact reason why he has chosen the Wind Salamander is that, as an otaku and a webnovel reader as well, he has seen and read a lot of salamanders being used by the main characters of their respective anime or novels. They have been shown to be useful, so the Wind Salamander should also be the same as well.
