The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth



Rishi had a grin on his face, and he finished his breakfast quickly before going into his room. He looked at the gaming chamber and approached it; he touched it and saw it from all around before deciding to enter it.

It was black with some designs of magic runes that were shining in a blue glow. It looked fabulous. He was excited to enter it, as this was the thing created by the collaboration of Advanced Technology with Advanced Magic.

He opened the glass door and entered it. He adjusted a bit and made himself comfortable before closing his eyes; Some instruments inside the gaming chamber started to attach themselves to his body. A helmet came and was attached to his head, and similarly, many sensors were attached to his whole body.

Rishi felt very comfortable and fell asleep. His eyes opened again, and he found himself standing in front of a big screen. On which there were many details about him, he heard a familiar voice again.

[Welcome to the "Tower of Champions"]

[Please set the controls and customize your Virtual Avatar.]

Rishi looked around and found he could customize his avatar; he didn't change his appearance much and only decided to wear a demon mask. For clothes, he decided to wear leather gloves, a hat, boots, and a big coat; this was the dress of the character he used to play in the previous game.

After the character design, he was asked to make any changes to the setting. He decreased the pain sensitivity to 50% from 100%, and for the rest, he decided to keep it the same as the default. He then got himself scanned and added all his skills present in the real world. His stats were already changed to the original, so he moved his body again and started feeling that it now had the same feeling as his real body.

After the avatar creation, it was now time to select a name. He typed 'Reaper' and pressed enter. He was just about to move when a red window appeared before him. [Name had been already taken. Please select a different name.]

[Name Suggestions: Reaper11, ReaperSJ01]

He thought for a while before typing 'Shadow Reaper.' Again, the same thing happened; this name was also taken. After trying for a while, he got the name 'Reaper of Shadows.' He sighed and was about to ask some questions when he was teleported to another place.

He looked around and saw the sign for 'Training Area.' There were some people here testing their skills. Rishi also decided to test. At first, he used a sword to execute 'Quick Draw.' He targeted the one standing hair on the humanoid dummy before him and used his skill.

The others watched it and saw how Rishi moved his sword so fast that they were not even able to see if he did anything; only the high-level ones were able to see a slight blur when he used the skill.

He looked at the hair cut in half, and a smile appeared on his face. He was just about to leave when he saw multiple options; One was to customize your skill effects, while the other was to train alone.

He clicked the train alone option and realized that he was now all alone. He then checked the customize your skill effects and saw that he could change the appearance of his skills to make them look cooler. He was only able to customize one skill for free, while the other cost money.

Rishi decided to see if they were that good; he clicked the customize option and selected 'Quick Draw.' He saw many options appearing to select; there were many, but he decided to use the 'Shadow' effect, which made his 'Quick Draw' look very cool. Whenever he used this skill, his blade released a 'purple shadow' effect that showed the path of his attack.

"Should I customize more skills?" He had just asked this question when he realized he was tight on cash for now. He now had money, but he decided not to waste it here. "Yes, I will not waste money till I am a millionaire (In Rupees)."

He tested his other skills before entering the number of the training ground given to him by his tutor, 'Silent Shadow.' He clicked it and found himself in a dark place. He looked around and was only able to see shadows and darkness, He started looking around the room and found that there was no end to it, and no matter how much he walked, he would return to the same spot.

When he decided to use his skills, he activated 'Extreme Focus' and started to sense his surroundings through his 'Sixth Sense' passive skill. After focusing for a while, he started noticing that he was standing between shadows and that everywhere around him were horrifying monsters.

He opened his eyes and tried to look around, but there was nothing around him; he was standing alone in a silent place. When he closed his eyes and tried to sense his surroundings, he heard mocking laughs but was unable to see anyone. He opened his eyes and was able to still hear the mocking laughs. He was confused and not able to understand what was happening.

He decided to close his eyes and sense his surroundings once again. When he did so, he saw many monsters surrounding him, while there was a shadow standing behind him. He jumped back, opened his eyes, and saw that his shadow was standing in front of him.

He looked back and saw that he had no shadow. This shocked Rishi, but he decided to trick the opponent. He used 'Shadow Walk' and disappeared before coming out from behind and putting his sword on its neck.

When he used the 'Shadow Walk' skill, he turned into his shadow, which canceled the shadow hijack thing that the opponent did with him.

He looked at the back and saw his opponent for the first time. It was a tall man wearing an assassin's hood. He laughed, "Let me show you a trick." He picked up Rishi's sword and used it to cut his neck; his body turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared.

Rishi looked around but was unable to find anyone, but he suddenly felt a cold hand on his shoulder. When he turned back, he saw a face covered in shadow looking at him.

"How old are you?" came the voice of a middle-aged man.

Rishi didn't know what was happening, but he was able to guess that the person in front of him was his tutor. He bowed down as a sign of respect and replied, "I am 12 years old."

The person started moving around Rishi before stopping and saying, "Your body is way more developed and mature than your age, which is very interesting." He paused before continuing in a cold tone, "Have you increased your height by using the customization option?"

"No," replied Rishi with full confidence.
