The Over-Break System

"I need both of you not to fight back ok, this may sting a little bit, but if you both accept what I am about to do, you will get stronger than you could ever imagine." His words were more so for himself, as the only responses he got from the chicks were head tilts and eyes full of confusion as they watched the drops of blood coming off his fingers with shimmering eyes.

'Tobs, I want to confirm they can handle the contract before moving forward.' Hesitating slightly when he saw how excitedly both chicks were staring at him, Cynrik posed the question to his AI.

-Generally, when a Tamer contracts a pet, the creature needs to be a maximum of one Tier lower than the Tamer; however, due to the strength and Tier of the Two Fledgling Nátt Hrafn, there should be no issues with imprinting the contract on their body and souls.-

-But be aware that both you and the fledglings will receive some discomfort as the contract binds your souls together.-

Nodding to himself and charging up the appropriate amount of Mana, Cynrik closed his eyes and remembered the method to activate his Tier-2 Tamer Skill [Soul and Blood Contract].

Half a second later, the drops of blood on his fingertips began to squirm as if alive as all four of the Mana particles under his control merged with the blood and forced it to mold into two intricate and complex spell formulas.

With the addition of the Lightning, Dark, Fire, and Wind particles, the blood drops grew and floated away from his fingers toward the foreheads of the confused and slightly scared chicks. Still, neither one moved and watched as the blood drops expanded to the size of a baseball.

The blood formations then began breaking down and spreading into multiple tiered layers, with the smallest being the size of a pinprick and the largest holding the size of a baseball.

It took three minutes for Cynrik to arrange the [Soul and Blood Contracts] to their optimal form. When he opened his eyes, the tiered formation had spread out into over a dozen different circles varying in size over a distance of 30 cm (Roughly a Foot).

"Whew, that took longer than expected," thinking aloud and examining the two spell formations that, at that moment, almost looked like an arrow pointed at the heads of the two nervous chicks, Cynrik felt the urge to calm down the baby birds.

"It's ok, you two, see, look here, I have a mark like that myself, and I'm totally fine." Pulling up his shirt, Cynrik pushed a large amount of Mana into his [Mark of the Tamer], causing it to glow on the front of his Codex bright enough that it could be seen clearly through his skin.

"Chiip Chiip," the more outgoing of the two chicks, bounced a bit and chirped enthusiastically at the prospect of matching its Papa, so it was the first to move forward until the smallest red glowing point of the contract formation was almost touching its forehead.

The instant the small plump chick drew near the spell formation, a notification from Tobs appeared in front of Cynrik's eyes.

-A Tier-0 Nátt Hrafn (Male) wants to be your Tamed Pet and would like to accept the [Soul and Blood Contract]. Would you like to initiate the bonding process? (Y/N)-

"Cheep, Cheep!"

But just as Cynrik finished reading, a second notification followed it.

-A Tier-0 Nátt Hrafn (Female) wants to be your Tamed Pet and would like to accept the [Soul and Blood Contract]. Would you like to initiate the bonding process? (Y/N)-

'Oh? That's interesting, so the more outgoing is a little boy, and the shy and reserved chick is a little girl.' Smiling at the two of them again, Cynrik extended his hand forward, pressed the "Yes" option on both notifications, and was suddenly assaulted by pain and a wave of nausea.

'Ugh, Tobs, what the fuck!' Cynrik complained as his head felt as if it were about to explode.

-No one told you to try forming both contracts simultaneously. Host Cynrik, tsk, always the overachiever.-

'Enough of the fucking sass Argg.' Gripping the right side of his head and trying to keep himself conscious, Cynrik's vision blurred as the two chicks shivered while the Tiered spell formation collapsed one circle at a time into their heads.

Unlike Cynrik, who was experiencing a splitting headache, the two chicks felt no pain but instead were terrified as a large amount of information was introduced into their young minds.

By the time half of the spell formations had condensed on their heads, their Status Windows had appeared, and even though they couldn't read, they had a vague understanding of what they were on an instinctual level.

Meanwhile, as the agonizingly slow process continued, tens of notifications were swarming in Cynrik's eyes. A mixture of warning messages about how his Brain and soul were strained flew by only to be suppressed by his Will Power Stat, which had grown significantly over the last few months.

Time ticked by as a transfer of knowledge flowed from Cynrik's mind and soul into the two fledgling chicks. Something that was directly possible thanks to several of the layers on the contract formation.

The Tamer and its Pets not only developed a spiritual and physical bond, but new pets would also receive basic information directly from their new Tamer once they were contracted using the [Soul and Blood Contract] skill.

The transfer of knowledge from Tamer to Creature brought the new Pet's baseline intelligence up to that of a young child, allowing for the lowest level of essential communication, even if it was done mainly through understanding language and communicating back with emotions or thoughts.

After several long minutes, the transfer was complete. The final stages of the Contracting ritual moved forward, condensing and layering all of the small formations into a singular red glowing intricate pattern on the chicks' heads that soon sunk into their skulls and vanished from sight.

-The [Soul and Blood Contract] has been completely formed; the Pet panel has been added to your Status profile. You can check and edit your Pet's stats at any time.-

As Cynrik read the notification indicating that the Contracts had been completed, he watched the two chicks slump down quietly as they fell asleep and quickly pulled up their Status Profiles.

Soon he was able to confirm his suspicions about the two hatchlings, and with a nod, he compared the two Status profiles side by side.

Turning his head slightly to the right, he examined the profile of the boy chick first.

'As I thought, the hyper chick already unlocked its OmniPoison to Tier-2, while its Dark Affinity lags at Tier-1. The most interesting thing is the addition of four Resistance stats. I had already expected them to have some Poison resistance because of their Affinity, but it seems they also gained resistance to all my Affinities.' Cynrik mused as he turned his attention to the shy and quiet chick's profile.

'Quite interesting indeed, so not only do they have different temperaments, but as I already noticed, their Affinity Strength is opposite one another. Not only that, but their Distributions are also different, which I'm guessing is indicative of their temperaments, with the hyper one being STR, AGI, but the shy and quiet one being AGI, VIT.' Tapping his chin as he examined their profiles, Cynrik continued the thought train.

'The INT distribution must be racial if memory serves; the Nátt Hrafn is naturally strong with their control over their Affinities, so that must be due to their Distributions automatically being set to INT boosts.'

'Triple Distributions is good, but their Resource Stat modifiers are all over the place, 20, 10, and 5; that's a far cry from what we received, and I can only assume it will get crazier as they level up. For now, let's go ahead and give them some XP.'

Ceasing his thoughts, Cynrik leaned forward and scooped up the two sleeping chicks in his arms before pressing a thumb on each of their chests and activating one of his Tamer Skills [Basic Nurture].

-You cannot use the Tier-0 Tamer Skill [Basic Nurture] on the Targeted pets, as they are currently Unnamed.-

-Please name your Pet before adjusting their Status Profiles or using any Tamer Skills.-

'Well, that is annoying.' Cynrik stared at the notification with dead eyes before shaking his head a few times and putting the last bit of thought into their names.

Ever since he got the eggs from the Egress reward chests, he had contemplated what to name his new pets once they hatched. However, after finding out he would be hatching two ravens, his thought process shifted considerably,

In his eyes, it was no longer something he could casually do; it was clear this was Odin's handy work, and there was no doubt in Cynrik's mind that it was expected of him to follow the names the Raven God had done with his Ravens eons ago.

It was common knowledge that Odin had Two Ravens named Huginn and Muninn. Although Huginn was straightforward and easily translated, Munr, the base for Muninn's name, although challenging to decipher, essentially is the combination or feeling of thought, desire, or emotion.

The most popular translations were either Wisdom and Knowledge or Memory and Mind, but Cynrik had other plans. Instead of following the preset notion and naming sense of the Deity, Cynrik smirked and came up with something different.

"Tobs, help me out here, the Male will be known as Viisaus, and the Female will be known as Sielu. Set their nicknames to Vii and Sie as well."

-The Unnamed Male Nátt Hrafn has received the name Viisaus and the Nickname "Vii."-

-The Unnamed Female Nátt Hrafn has received the name Sielu and the Nickname "Sie."-

-Would you like to confirm these names? (Y/N)-

-Reminder, in naming your pets, there is a cost, part of your stats and MP will be drained and burned as these will become the TRUE names of the creatures you share a contract with.-

Sighing aloud, Cynrik smiled bitterly at the fact there was a cost to naming his pets but still felt it was alright, so long as it didn't drain too much from him.

Plus, he was still on cloud nine after using Finnish to name his birbs instead of Norse, Viisaus being the Finnish word for Wisdom and Sielu for Spirit or Soul.

(SHOUT OUT: Fellow Author and Friend Alekzi of "White Online" helped me with the translations to Finnish, and it was a friend and fellow content creator/vtuber Lumi "Lumituber" on twitch who gave me the idea to go with Finnish. So do me a favor and check them both out!)
