The moment he received the emergency quest, he quickly ate the food, almost choking and left to his tent.
Olivia smiled bitterly before cleaning the camp and going to her tent to sleep.
Axel was in a panic inside his tent as he mentally screamed, "SYSTEM!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN A FOUR-STAR MONSTER IS COMING TO KILL ME!?!"
The system quickly explained as it said, [The three-star snake you injured made a breakthrough and evolved into a four-star monster. It's also using it's new power to locate you. Luckily, while your inside the barrier posts, unless it's a five-star, it won't be able to find you.]
Axel sighed and asked, "What about the reward?"
However, the system quickly replied, [Don't know.]
He fell face first to the ground. Axel bitterly laughed as he thought the system was messing with him.
The system knew what he was thinking and explained further.
[I mean it's a random reward. I couldn't quantify the fight between you and the monster. The reason being, you will die if you fight it. I can't really give you a reward just to make you run to your death.]
Axel fell silent for a second before he said, "System, is there anything I can purchase from the system to help me?"
The system didn't reply for a couple minutes before a screen showed up.

Axel ran through a couple plans to utilize each skill. After a couple minutes he said, "System, purchase lowest magic affinity, fire magic and ice magic."
[Deducting 45,000 system points…]
After confirming he had the new skills, he lept out of the tent and collected as many seeds he could. Axel held a handful of seeds, took a deep breath and left the camp grounds.
He ran as fast as he could to the cave. With the help of Olivia's 2 weeks of training, Axel naturally knew how to find it's home.
10 minutes after leaving the camp grounds, the cave entrance appeared in Axel's sight. He picked up speed and dashed to the cave.
When he arrived before the entrance, he threw all the seeds he had into the cave and used magic to make them all sprout into trees.
A thick wall of trees with a gap in the middle appeared. Axel created an extremely concentrated fireball and threw it into the gap and closed the hole.
5 minutes later, the sound of banging rang out. Axel could feel the snake trying to come out but he felt the size of the snake was smaller.
Half an hour passed by as the banging died down. During the half hour, he used ice magic and layered the entire outside area in ice.
Suddenly, the trees exploded as a figure could be seen exiting. Axel was stunned as he saw a young lady walk out of the cave, panting and gasping for air.
The lady looked about 21, had amber eyes and white hair. She collapsed down to the ground and started to shiver.
She glared at Axel and said, "E-evil human… first you kill my child, now you locked me and my other children inside that… that hell!"
Axel stared at her dumbfounded. He put one and one together and muttered, "Your that snake…"
Her glare intensified as she yelled, "Watch your tongue! I'm no snake, I'm an earth-dragon!"
Axel was caught off guard and laughed at her before covering his mouth. However, he didn't manage to cover it in time and the snake saw he was mocking her.
She glared and yelled, "What are you laughing at!!!"
Seeing no reason to hide it, he burst into laughter and said, "How can you be a dragon with no wings?"
Axel didn't even know what happened before being sent flying. He smashed through a couple trees before he fell to the ground. He spat a mouthful of blood as he focused on the snake lady.
Her body gained an unnatural shade of blue while she shivered. Soon, she collapsed to her knees. The snake knew her time was coming so she crawled back into the cave.
Axel followed her, only to find 3 eggs in a little nest. She nuzzled her head against it as she gazed at the eggs with love.
Watching her cry silent tears as her body became darker, Axel sighed before lighting a fire and holding it close to the snake.
She opened her eyes wide as she stared at Axel. She gave him a grateful smile before curling around her nest.
The moment Axel held the flame to warm her, a screen popped up.
[Emergency Quest Complete!
Defeat the four-star monster coming to kill you.
Rewards: Skill - Tame, Skill - Summon, 2x Function upgrade, 2x Skill upgrade, 10,000 system points.]
Axel grinned and said, "System, show me the new skills details."
[Skills: Tame - The ability to tame monsters. Monsters can only be tamed when a contract that both parties agree on is sighed. There are exceptions.
Summon - The ability to create a dimension in which your tamed monsters reside. Only tamed monsters, the host and anyone you approve can enter.]
Axel nodded. He looked at the snake lady as she slept and said, "Now show me what those upgrades are."
[Function upgrade: Choose a function to increase it's intended effect.
Skill upgrade: Choose a skill to increase its intended effect.]
Axel sat beside the snake and muttered, "Tame…"
A light blue glow shone from Axel's hands before being absorbed into her. A screen popped up, saying he tamed a monster.
He slapped his forehead and said, "System, why did that work? I thought I had to make a contract before getting approval."
[That's right. However, the earth dragon surrendered to you the moment she sensed you inside her den. Basically, you can make the rules.]
He looked towards the sleeping snake and decided to make it an equals contract. Axel then used tame on the eggs and moved them all to his summoning world.
With everything taken care of, Axel went around the den, taking anything of value before he left.
However, when he took the first step outside, a voice said, "What do we have here?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The moment he received the emergency quest, he quickly ate the food, almost choking and left to his tent.
Olivia smiled bitterly before cleaning the camp and going to her tent to sleep.
