My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

The boy hugged his little black goat, who oddly enough, didn\'t seemed as small as before, but was just as cute.

"Eh? Is it my idea or Blackie got bigger?" wondered Arthurious.

"Hm? Oh… I think it evolved over time." Said Frank.

"W-What?! How?" asked Arthurious.

"I think the medicine I gave him awakened his hidden potential; it is a very strong medicine." Said Frank, giving him a very obvious lie.

However the boy was very na?ve, so he actually believed him, just because he really wanted to believe his Blackie had potential. After all he was his little pet, he always had with him, so he wanted him to grow stronger.

Being cute was nice and all, but in the harsh world of Gaia, monster pets had to be strong and formidable so they could protect their masters and live on, that was something very important, actually.

Arthurious eyes shone brightly, as the black goat was now seemingly a young adult instead of the small cub it used to be. It was also overflowing with energy and seemed very happy to see him, licking him all over his face.

Of course, Blackie did had potential, Frank had found out over this time that this Black Goat was a special Monster Pet with the potential to even evolve into something of Regional-Class if not Continental-Class! Of course, it was in an Infant-Class when he came here all damaged, but through the wondrous powers of the Monster Pet Nursery, he ended leveling up passively, gaining power, way more than just recovering some wounds would give it.

And because it was already low leveled already, the level went up drastically, even more, the Monster Pet Nursery also gives Skill Proficiency passively to all monster pets that are being taken care of inside of it, so his Skills also became several times stronger, and he unlocked many new skills as he leveled up passively.

And to boot, last night, Blackie evolved! Frank knew it already by checking the goat\'s status, it had evolved from an Infant-Class Monster all the way to a Young Adult-Class! That was already above the average in terms of monster classifications.

"He seems to have evolved all the way to a Young Adult-Class Monster Pet, Arthurious, congrats! Your Blackie can now be considered a strong monster pet." Said Frank with a smile.

"R-Really?! You\'re that strong, Blackie?!" asked the happy Arthurious.

"Meee!" Blackie said, as his entire body began emanate a powerful dark aura!

FLAAAASH!

"You\'ve grown stronger! Hey, how about we make a little fight?" wondered Frank.

"E-Eh? Fight?" asked Arthurious in surprise.

"A monster pet fight, of course. Don\'t worry, I will heal Blackie after wards with the help of Ginseng, he\'s a good healer." Said Frank, the large Ginseng groaned at the side of Frank.

"Uooohh…"

"O-Okay then…" said Arthurious.

Miriam looked at the scene with shiny eyes, wishing she could have a monster pet as well so she could do monster pet fights and also have it as a guardian.

But Frank wasn\'t going to use his own monster pets, they were all overpowered for them to even fight the little Blackie yet, so Frank decided to encourage the leveled monster pets of Gwendolyn and Alexander.

Alexander had his Starlight Hummingbird, Star, alongside the Black-spotted Brown Rhinoceros Beetle, Rookie. Meanwhile, Gwendolyn had the Blazing Mouse named Flare, and the Acorn-Shooting Squirrel named Acorn.

These four monster pets had been leveling up in the outskirts and also by staying inside the monster pet nursery, and were plenty strong themselves, and that without channeling any power from their originally wielders.

However, they had four, so they planned to only use one each. Their power was perhaps a bit higher than Blackie, according to Frank, so it would be quite unfair… although he wanted to see? Blackie fight in a desperate battle so he would be able to see his limits.

So, he decided to give Miriam a monster pet from the ones he had. These monster pets that once belonged to the people that assaulted him and those other guys that attempted to rob the monster pet nursery.

"Hm, two against one won\'t do, right, Arthurious? Miriam, how about we gift you a monster pet?" asked Frank.

"E-Eh? Me?" asked Miriam startled by the proposal of Frank.

"Yeah, we recently got a bunch, so how about we gift you one?" asked Frank with a gentle smile.

"O-Okay! Sure!" she said happily.

"Then come with me." Said Frank.

Frank led Miriam upstairs, as he began to show her the many rooms inside the monster pet nursery, which had their own fantastical environments. She had already seen them all before, and Frank told her to save this as a secret, Miriam swore she wouldn\'t tell anyone, and it seems that she hasn\'t.

He began to show her all sorts of monster pets there, he had around a dozen of oddly-shaped fellows, ghostly jellyfishes, fiery salamanders that look a lot like Ruby used to look back then, rock turtles, blood bats, and more.

She wandered around, trying to find the right one, until she reached the area with a vast ocean in front of her. In this place, a small sea snake-like dragon suddenly glanced at her. Miriam had seen this dragon before with Frank, but suddenly, as she was seeking a companion, this little dragon saw through her eyes and found a connection with her.

"Roar!"

SPLASH!

Suddenly, the little dragon jumped out of the water and flew in midair, reaching Miriam!

"Eh?!"

Frank was a bit surprised as he saw this…

"I want this one! Look, he really likes me!" said Miriam.

"T-That\'s… Ryujin?" asked Frank in disbelief.

"Groar!" said the little Ryujin, the future ocean god of Japan had taken a liking of this girl and wanted her to become his trainer!
