Crack! Crack! Crack!

Michael had decided to resurrect in the graveyard, and he had just gotten out of the place, when he suddenly heard a cracking sound coming from beside his ears.

He quickly looked around, but all he saw were the guards, the soldiers, players, and NPCs doing their own business.

But then a message window appeared before him, which gave him a start because his vigilance was just raised above the minimum level.

[The Egg of an Arodan is hatching…]

"What!?" Michael exclaimed in shock, after all, he hasn't been taking the egg for sunbathing for a couple of days now, and suddenly hearing it that its on the verge of hatching is almost unbelievable for him.

'Dammit, don't tell that I actually just need to be the one under the sun and not the egg, who could have just stayed inside the [Storage] space and absorb the sunlight through me?' he had to admit that he had already seen a lot of shocking events, but he had never seen such a shameless egg that actually made him carry it around under the sunlight, when he could have just put it inside his [Storage] space.

Of course, that was just his own conclusion, as he really didn't know the reason behind the sudden hatching of the egg who's been deprived of sunlight for a few days now.

[Shadow! The Golden Shield won't forget this humiliation!]

A sudden world shout suddenly appeared in the sky, the words glittered in gold!

Michael just ignored them and immediately made his way towards a secluded place, but the sudden action of the Golden Shield Guild caused quite a bit of ruckus especially in Stormwind Fortress, as they knew that this people are like rabid dogs that wouldn't easily let go of their prey

Michael arrived in a very secluded place, at the back of a rundown house.

Then he took out the egg from his [Storage], as it appeared on his hands. Michael stared at the egg, who already had multiple line cracks on its surface.

Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, the top corner of the egg flew off and landed on the ground and broke into many pieces, and then Michael put his attention back at the egg, and saw a small head poking out from the hole, staring at him with eyes full of curiosity and affection.

Then it ignored him, and started feasting on the remaining eggshell, and Michael just watch it devour the entire egg shell with a dumbfounded look on his face.

Burp~!

The little thing then sat like a person on Michael's palm, as it burp in satisfaction. Then it suddenly turned towards Michael and...

"Arodan~!"

It suddenly raised one of its paws, and greeted Michael while blinking cutely.

'So cute' Michael thought as he can't help but rub the little thing's cheek, which resulted in it shrieking along with a cute laughter.

"Aro~! Ehhaha!"

'Its laughter reminds me of a certain monster' he thought.

The little creature in Michael's hands has silvery gray fur, with a pair of crystal clear azure large eyes full of cuteness, and there are two small horns on its small head, whose size is only half of a centimeter, and the little creature's size is just as big as a teacup dog.

And then it just stared at Michael, blinking.

Then another message window appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations, You are the second player to acquire a pet!]

"Huh? Someone other than me has a pet?"

One minute after Michael received his own notification.

[Congratulations, You are the third player to acquire a pet!]

[Pet Panel is now unlocked!]

[Received +300 Fame!]

"What? There are two people who got a pet before me!?" Solitary Tempest exclaimed in disbelief, as she didn't expect that there would actually be someone or two people who got a pet before her.

After all, she knew that the nine leaders of the nine major guilds had just gotten their own pet egg from two to three days ago, when she already had her pet egg over a week ago!

"I wonder who the heck they are"

Beside Solitary Tempest' feet is a little wolf cub covered in white fur, with a shuriken like star on its forehead like a brand or something, and in the middle of that is a small and in spiral shape horn.

And it's currently playing around her feet as it followed behind her, and this time, Amanda is currently crossing the Forest of Despair after her mercenary job at Golden Shield failed because of Michael, but at least she was paid in full.

But this failure certainly created a karma between Michael and Amanda inside the game.

Where both parties would certainly meet again, either foes or...

A few minutes before Michael's pet egg hatched.

Along the periphery of a small forest ,a certain female player with blonde hair is currently squatting on the ground, as her attention is fully directed at the shaking sanguine colored egg in front of her.

And the female players looks really ragged in her equipment, her appearance is the same as Michael when he had just gotten out of the Forest of Despair.

Crack~! Crack~! Crack~!

"It's hatching! It's hatching! It's finally hatching!" the female player called Sanguine Rose exclaimed excitedly as her pair of eyes shined with delight.

A few moments later, the little thing inside the egg had finally broken free from its egg, while it had already started devouring the eggshell without a care in the world, and only after it was done with the eggshells that it turned its head towards Sanguine Rose, staring at him with joy and delight.

The Sanguine Hawk, didn't come out of its egg as an eyas, but already in its juvenile like state, and its height is only around twenty centimeters, and weighs around one kilogram.

The hawk has the same appearance as a Red Tailed Hawk, its feathers are all still white, but there's already the crimson color at the tail ends of its feathers.

"Screech!"

The little hawk screech cutely before it wobbly flew and landed above Sanguine Rose head, and sat there comfortably.

"Hehehe, from now on, I'll call you, Rosy! Just like my name!" Sanguine Rose giggled with a laughed, before she started heading towards the direction of a nearby village.

Just as she started walking, a message window suddenly appeared in front of her.

[Congratulations, You are the very first player to acquire a pet!]

[Pet Panel is now unlocked!]

[Received +5000 Fame and 10 Gold Coins as a reward!]

[Received the Title: Pet Caretaker!]

[Pet Caretaker

"Yes! I finally have money to get my equipment repaired!"

"Rosy, this is the start of our journey together!"

She didn't even care that she had just gotten her first title, as she only cared about the gold coins like a certain someone.

"Screech!"

The little hawk screeched in delight, seemingly able to understand her.

Present.

[Michael! I just had my first pet! Look!]

Michael just accepted Tina's request of video call, where she had already started talking in excitement, and she even showed him the little hawk sleeping on her head.

'So she's the one who beat me to it'

He thought bitterly, but at the same time, he felt happy and proud of her.

"Good for you! Where are you right now? I'm in Stormwind Fortress already"

"Aren't I great!? - Ohh, I'm in a Mining Village called Clover Leaf Village! This awesome, there's only a five kilometers distance in between! Are you gonna be the one coming over or me?"

"No, stay there. I'm already on my way"

"Okay! Don't get yourself killed!"

Michael immediately ended the call, and dashed out of the western gate as he noticed a group of players coming towards his direction.

"Bastard! Don't run!"

"Quick, tell the others that he's heading west!"

"Dannhahaha~!"

"Enjoying yourself, huh?"

"Arodan, Arodan!"

Michael just continued running away along with a little critter hanging on his left shoulder laughing in delight as the wind caressed its face, while Michael showed the people chasing behind him the middle finger.

They might have killed, but he had already finished his quest before his death, so his death for them was useless!

He even surrendered the treasure map to the army when he saw that it wasn't something of his interest and in exchange, the army had given him 500 Gold Coins as a reward.

He only got that much of a reward because he managed to foil the plan of the Nobles who had been scheming behind them when most of the soldiers in Stormwind were busy taking care of a medium size beast tide at another fortress of the empire.
