Chapter 3: The First Contracted Beast
Crack after crack appeared on the egg, and as a part of the shell fell off, a small head popped out from it.
He looked around curiously and finally stopped when he saw Cain.
Feeling an inexplicable connection between them, more cracks appeared, and finally, the little guy broke out of the shell and jumped into Cain's embrace.
The little guy was an Ice Dragon around 25 cm long and 17 cm tall, with shimmering silver-blue scales that made him look gorgeous.
He also has tiny, cute horns just beginning to sprout from his head, and wings, though small, had a translucent, frosty membrane, appearing as if carved from pure ice.
The little guy rubbed his head on Cain's chest and enjoyed the feeling of being embraced by his master.
Cain was extremely happy, as he couldn't ask for more since his first contracted beast was an Ice Dragon, and he couldn't help but imagine how majestic he would be when he rode his gorgeous Ice Dragon.
He also didn't know why, but his connection with him was really close, like a father and a son, despite the fact that he never had a child in his past life as he was dead when he was in his mid-20s.
While Cain was still petting the little guy, he saw that Sylvia immediately came in front of him and looked at the little dragon for a few seconds before asking him with a cute face as she spread her arms widely.
"Big brother Cain, can I hug the little dragon too, pweaasseee???"
"Hahaha, okay. Just give me a second." Cain replied with a smile.
"Little guy, this is Sylvia. She's the one who found you and technically saved your life, just like she saved mine.
Be nice to her, okay? You'll be seeing her a lot in the future." Cain said with a smile while petting the little dragon softly.
The little dragon looked at Sylvia and then nodded as if he understood what his master was talking about.
"You two can play together for now and don't go too far, okay?" Cain put the little dragon down on the ground while patting Sylvia's head and instructed the system to scan the little dragon.

When Cain looked at the little dragon's information, he was pleased because its qualification was rank 7 beast, which meant that if the little dragon grew up to its limit, he could easily become the strongest being in this kingdom since Elarion Kingdom was an unrated force as the strongest person this kingdom had was only at rank 7.
Afterwards, Cain checked his personal information because, at the same time, when the egg started to crack, he felt an unknown energy begin to pour into his body.
The feeling was more of a warm and numb feeling that spread throughout his body that made him full of strength as he felt a surge in his strength.

Looking at his stats, he felt happy as his stats before were like this.

It was because he got 50% feedback from his contracted beast that all of his stats were at least triplet.
Before Cain could proceed with using his rewards that he got before, he was surprised as he heard a few notifications from the system.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully contracting your first beast.]
[Ding! Calculating the rewards…]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1x High-level Summon Pool.]
Cain's eyes were lit up as he didn't expect to get another reward because of contracting the little dragon.
However, he was quite nervous with what kind of creature that he would summon, as the system told him it was random, and he might summon an ugly demon, a beautiful woman, etc.
"Let's do this. If I throw a stone and it passes a tree over there across the river, which might be around 35 meters from here, I will use the Summon Pool, and if I can't throw past the tree, I will use the Lottery Pool." Cain mumbled as he nodded his head before picking up a stone around 5 cm.
Cain then made a throwing posture as his right foot stepped back and his right hand, which held the stone, drew back, and with a fierce twist of his torso, he launched it forward.
His arm whipped through the air, the force of his throw was so hard that he was sure the stone would pass the tree since he was a few times stronger than a normal person, as he used his strength as hard as he could muster.
The thing was, Cain 'released' the stone in hand when his right hand was just in line with his head, resulting in the stone dropping beside him.
"I guess, it's not my luck to use the Summon Pool first then." Cain sighed as he looked at the stone and immediately ordered the system to use the Lottery Pool.
