The enemy could be considered weak in my standards, but my eyes were drawn towards its weakness.

~ Weakness → Food

Gears in my head momentarily stopped spinning and I spaced out.

The wolf, of course, used the given opportunity to get in close distance with the mage. What the wolf didn't know was that in my previous lifetime I wielded a sword.

Clank...

Its open jaws clashed with my extended wand producing a loud sound. Since the wolf's Strength was superior he easily overpowered me making me take a dozen steps back.

Luckily I was no longer in a stupor and could fight. Quickly assessing the situation I instantly knew that hitting the wolf would be very hard, since its Agility is way above mine.

If I used the Shadow Realm it would be different, because my capabilities would be enchanted, but it was still on cooldown.

It will be hell of a fight...

Luckily I was not planning to kill the wolf. Why? Well I could tame him after all.

In reality the monster's weakness is actually a way to tame it. In my previous life I didn't have any pets, because even finding one is rare and they costed a lot of money. Only the leaders of the Guilds and rich kids could buy them.

The pets were rare, but not every pet was powerful and some of them were even trash. For example imagine having a turtle pet that needs to be carried around.

Luckily for the owners of the immobile pets, if a bond level with the companion reached a certain level one could receive a tattoo and store the pet inside it.

Another thing concerning Pets were that one could only have one pet. Your pet could die, but it would respawn in a day in real life time.

Others would consider the Beast before me weak, since it was found near the beginning zone, but I knew better.

' How lucky can I get? '

The beast before me was actually a Boss. Well... at least it would become a boss in the future.

I knew that the wolf was the only one in the forest or why else would it separate itself from the pack?

This wolf managed to defeat tons of players and other beasts rising to higher levels and soon reaching power to be able to stand its ground against the Ice Wyvern I've seen before.

Once the wolf becomes a boss it's weakness would disappear. The bosses are untamable.

Why?

Just imagine a player controlling an Ice wyvern able to decimate half of the continent. Would it be broken, no?

I got lost in my thoughts, but luckily I was pulled back to the fight when I heard a Howl echo in the forest.

Auuuuuuuu...

The wolf howled using one of its more powerful skills.

I immediately felt the wolf's aura change into a more bizarre one. I took a few steps back and hid one of my hands behind my back.

It was time to use my secret weapon...

Since the wolf's intelligence was that of a child it caught on that something was suspicious, but soon leapt at me without a care.

Sharpening my teeth I prayed that it would work or I'll have to dig myself a grave, because of the embarrassment. I would also lose two levels.

< Badly Cooked Fiery Meat x1 >

I extended my hand forward, throwing a piece of meat towards the rushing wolf.

As to why the meat was cooked I did it with the Demonic flame while farming the golems. The meal ingredients like meat are better off sold when cooked. Of course my cooking proficiency is very low, hence resulting in an almost burnt meat.

Luckily the monster was not picky and instantly devoured the meat thrown at its face.

< Grey Wolf Taming Process; 0% → 5% >

A new bar appeared at the corner of my screen. With this I was sure that the wolf is tamable. Pulling a dozen of similar meat chunks I threw them on by one to the wolf.

< Grey Wolf Taming Process; 5% → 75% >

After a few minutes all the fiery meat was fed to the wolf. The beast's eyes were shining as if asking for more.

Unfortunately I've already fed most of the meat and the only edible thing I had was poisonous meat cooked at a low temperature. I didn't know if the Poison was gone and didn't want to ruin my relationship with the buddy before me, hence just stood there eyeing the wolf.

Its two yellow eyes reflected light asking for more food, but after a few minutes passed it started baring its fangs once again.

< Grey Wolf Taming Process; 75% → 74% >

The Taming progress went down by one percent.

' Shit! '

I cursed while frantically looking around. I really didn't want to kill a possible companion.

Luckily it seemed that fate was on my side.

Crack... Whoosh...

A sound of something moving in bushes alerted me and my possible buddy disturbing our stare down.

I have a Question...

Would you like me to Keep the Status window of various creatures inside the chapters or should I just dupe it under the chapters?
