"My lord." Anya saluted Cain as she bowed deeply while putting her right hand in front of her chest as she held back her inner desire and didn't forget her position.
"Big Brother Cain, who is she? She's so beautiful." Sylvia peeked her head behind Cain and asked him while pointing at Anya.
"Hahaha… Don't worry, She's my subordinate." Cain replied as he looked at Anya again and enjoyed looking at the big mountains–the scene for a split second before ordering Anya to stand up.
"Stand up, Anya. Don't act too formal with me."
"Thank you, my lord." Anya stood up and looked at Cain with a surprise look since she noticed something bulged a little in Cain's body.
She then approached Cain slowly with a smile, and when she arrived in front of him, she leaned forward and whispered slowly to Cain.
"My lord, if you ever need anything, just order me. I'll do whatever it takes to serve you," Anya said, her body pressing gently against Cain's as her breath brushed his ear.
Cain felt the pressure of her "mountains" as they pressed against him, and the bulge grew more noticeable.
Anya then placed her hand lightly on the bulge, and said softly. "I mean anything, my lord."
"Ahemm… Let's talk about it later. I've got something else to take care of first." Cain cleared his throat and gently pushed her away before squatting down and turning around to pick up the little dragon from Sylvia's arms.
"Sylvia, why don't you go play with Anya by the riverside for a bit? I'm going to focus on making the little dragon stronger." Cain said as he patted Sylvia's head softly.
"Okay!" Sylvia nodded her head and walked towards the riverside and stopped as she remembered something.
"By the way, Big Brother Cain, have you decided on a name for the little dragon?" Sylvia turned around and asked Cain before cutely putting her hand on her chin and looking at the sky, seemingly thinking about something important.
"Hahaha… I haven't, do you have any names in mind? You can name him if you want." Cain laughed as he looked at it and decided to give her a chance, as technically the little dragon was also hers in the first place.
"Really? Can I name him?" Sylvia's eyes lit up when she heard it and asked once again to confirm it.
"Of course." Cain replied with a warm smile.
"Hmmm… After thinking about it since I played with him before, what do you think about Nix?" Sylvia asked him as her face was filled with anticipation that he would agree with her.
"Nix? That sounds like a cool name. What do you think, Nix?" Cain nodded and asked the little dragon to see his response about his name being Nix.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The little dragon seemed to understand what his master and Sylvia were talking about and roared a few times happily while looking at both of them as if agreeing with his name being 'Nix'.
"It seems like Nix likes his new name." Cain said with a smile as he petted the little dragon in his embrace.
"Yeayyy! I named a cute ice dragon!" Sylvia said as she jumped around happily because she just named a cute ice dragon by herself.
Cain only shook his head as he saw Sylvia's behavior and immediately proceeded with his original purpose, which was to upgrade Nix's rank.
"System, upgrade Nix to the highest level possible right now." Cain ordered the system.
[Ding! Do you want to upgrade Nix's rank to Gold Ranks Beast? (Rank 4)]
"Yes." Cain confirmed, as he already knew that he could only upgrade Nix's rank to Rank 4 Beast because he only had 100,000 Evolution Points.
Cain was informed by the system how much of the Evolution Points were needed to upgrade his contracted beast's rank, and it was actually pretty simple.
Rank 0 > Rank 1 (Iron) = 10
Rank 1 > Rank 2 (Bronze) = 100
Rank 2 > Rank 3 (Silver) = 1,000
Rank 3 > Rank 4 (Gold) = 10,000
Rank 4 > Rank 5 (Platinum) = 100,000
And so on…
…
[Ding! 10 Evolution Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Nix has successfully broken through to Iron Rank Beast (Rank 1)]
[Ding! 100 Evolution Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Nix has successfully broken through to Bronze Rank Beast (Rank 2)]
[Ding! 1,000 Evolution Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Nix has successfully broken through to Silver Rank Beast (Rank 3)]
[Ding! 10,000 Evolution Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Nix has successfully broken through to Gold Rank Beast (Rank 4)]
Along with the continuous notifications ringing in his mind, Cain watched Nix's body grow bigger and bigger at a fast speed.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Nix roared excitedly as he became stronger and bigger at a fast pace.
A few moments later…
Nix's body stopped growing when it reached approximately 5 meters tall and 15 meters long, with his wings of about 25 meters as Cain saw Nix spread them happily and roared.
Along with Nix becoming stronger, Cain felt the unknown energy start to pour into him again.
This time, the energy was significantly way higher than previously since this time, Nix's rank directly went to rank 4 from 0, and the unknown energy before that he got when he contracted Nix was like a drop of water in a vast ocean.
Cain felt extremely satisfied that he could become much stronger this easily, he even felt that his body had become a little bit taller and more refined.
He then looked at Nix to see his personal information since he was curious as to how much the little dragon had gotten stronger.
[Race: Ice Dragon]
[Attribute: High-level Ice Element]
[Rank: Low-level Gold Rank Beast (Rank 4)]
[Qualification: Lord (Rank 7)]
[Skills: Ice Claw, Ice Spike, Ice Breath]
[Strength]: 5,500
[Agility]: 5,000
[Health]: 6,000
[Sense]: 5,000
[Energy]: 6,300
Looking at Nix's personal information, Cain was surprised as Nix had another skill, Ice Breath.
Previously, Cain hadn't learned any of Nix's skills because he was still too weak and didn't want to think much about it.
But now, since he had become much stronger as he got the feedback from Nix, he decided to learn all of Nix's skills because he could imagine himself using these skills and even thought that he would look pretty cool using these skills to kill his enemy in the future.
"System, learn all of Nix's skills!" Cain ordered.
Not even a second later, Cain suddenly felt a surge of information rushing into his mind, and he instantly understood how to utilize the skills that he had just gotten.
He then looked at his own personal information, as he was also curious about how much his stats had increased from before.
[Personal Information]
[Gacha Points: 10,000] [Evolution Points: 88,890]
[Name: Cain Frostbane]
[Age: 18]
[Race: Human]

[Strength]: 2,751
[Agility]: 2,501
[Health]: 3,001
[Sense]: 2,501
[Energy]: 9,453
Looking at his own personal information, Cain was shocked and became confused when he looked at his own energy stat, because it was three times more than it originally should have had.
Cain then asked the system and found out that currently his energy has tripled the amount because of his 9-Tailed Heavenly Demon Fox Bloodline.
While still feeling happy as he looked at his personal information, Cain noticed that Anya and Sylvia were looking at Nix at the riverside while holding a fishing rod each, with excited looks as they were eager to come over to Nix.
He then remembered that he hadn't even checked Anya's personal information yet and became curious of how much her stats were since she was a genuine rank 8 awakener.
"Sylvia… Anya… You can come over to play with Nix now since he has already finished his upgrade."
Cain flagged down both of them to come over, as he had warned both of them to not come over without his permission while he was upgrading Nix's rank.
"Yeayy! Finally…" Sylvia immediately got up and threw aside her fishing rod before running towards Nix while Anya plugged her and Sylvia's fishing rods to the ground before approaching Nix and shaking her head looking at the cute Sylvia running towards Nix.
Cain then immediately checked Anya's personal information and became shocked when he saw it.
