Upon the altar there was a ....

There was nothing!

"Did I just fail to summon my spiritual beast? Is it invisible?"

"Hhhuh..."

"I shouldn't have had any hope from the beginning." Rainer clenched his fists in anger, in the end it was all about talent and he wasn't talented enough.

The room was so silent that the fall of a needle would not be different from a thunderstorm at midday, all the clan members were staring at each other in shock.

"The summoning..... failed?"

"It must be like that, I don't see any beast."

"Hahahaha!" The whispers stopped after Yren's laughter and the other youths from the clan. After all, Rainer happened to be the only one who failed to summon his spiritual beast.

" What was I worried about? A trash will still remain a trash.That flash must have been a spiritual skill, I'm pretty sure of it." Yren was finally able to relax after Rainer's pathetic performance.

"What are you waiting for? Aren't you ashamed enough?" Shouted the Grand Elder when he saw that Rainer was still watching the empty space.

"Mmm?"

"Ah...yes, I'm so sorry, Grand Elder!" Rainer bowed quickly and descended from the altar towards the entrance when a shout from Yren stopped him.

"Wait Rainer, I have something to announce to the whole clan."

Rainer felt a shiver running down his body, remembering Jathra's warning prior to the ritual.

He quickly returned to see what his brother had to say to all the clan members.

Rainer's blood ran cold after listening to Yren's announcement.

"I will take Alisha as my concubine!"

Instantly, all eyes were on Rainer, hoping to see his reaction.

Everyone expected to see Rainer humiliate himself again and hit rock bottom.

Of course, Rainer let them down, the blood of his whole body was burning like magma in a volcano and his eyes were exhibiting an unprecedented hostility but he didn't do anything.

Alisha who had caught up with Rainer before Yren's announcement was speechless. She knew Yren was a bastard who was using his dogs to intimidate Rainer but never thought he would be capable of something like that to upset Rainer.

"The ceremony will take place in two months,after the Young Guardians Competition. I hope everyone will come to the event," Said Yren as he smiled mockingly at Rainer.

Rainer held Alisha's hand and left the hall, ignoring the scornful looks of the youths.

"Young Master..."

"Mmm? What's up, Alisha?"

"I-I'm so sorry!" Said Alisha as she kneeled in front of Rainer.

"I never should have told you what you had to do! Now everyone in the clan..."

"Don't worry, Alisha, there's still hope," said Rainer as he smiled confidently.

"But Young Master..." Alisha couldn't finish her words before a small shadow leapt in her direction.

"Aaah! A snake! Hurry up and get away Young Master"

"..."

"That 'snake' is my spiritual beast..."

"Eeehhhh! But Young Master, we all saw it there, the altar was empty."

"It' s a long story,Alisha, take a break and stop worrying about it."

After Rainer's insistence, Alisha left his room and leave him alone.

"Well, let's see what we got here."

Rainer closed his eyes and focused on feeling that had never been there before.

After several attempts he managed to find what happened inside him after the 'failed summoning'.

"Here!" Then a translucent screen appeared before Rainer's eyes.

"This is...!"

"It's my own system!.The heavens have answered my prayers after so many years!"

"Let's see what stats I can raise to my character? What skills can I buy?"

All Rainer's euphoria faded after a close look at the screen display.

"...!"

"Where are my abilities beyond the laws set by this world. At least give me a 'meteor rain'!"

Later on...

Rainer stopped whining when he noticed that the little snake was staring at him, as if she was reproaching him for not treating her as she deserved.

"Little one, now I'm totally depending on you....Without your help Alisha will have to marry that bastard Yren."

The little snake nodded in agreement as if she understood what Rainer was saying.

[Your Spirit Guardian supports you]

"...?"

"Can you understand me? I thought spiritual beasts communicated through the spiritual energy bond."

"...!"

Rainer was surprised to find that he and the little snake were connected but there was no spiritual energy involved.

After a while of digging into the system he found out the following things.

His little snake was no longer a spiritual beast, but a Spirit Guardian, and he had yet to discover the differences between them.

There wasn't a spiritual energy bond between him and his Spirit Guardian. It may sound simple but it was just the opposite - by not having to sustain his Spirit Guardian with spiritual energy, Rainer could keep the little snake in this world as long as he wanted!

By not wasting spiritual energy on summoning, I could use it to cast spiritual skills without fear of draining it!

"This is already giving me a big advantage, too bad that the snake is a 1st Rank beast..."

[Your Guardian Spirit despises you]

"Calm down, just saying."

"Mmm"

"I can't keep calling you 'snake' forever, so I'll name you Lerna!"

After feeling that Lerna was happy with her new name, Rainer thought about a way to strengthen himself before the tournament.

As well as spiritual beasts, Lerna would be strengthened by Rainer's breakthroughs.

He wondered what was the 'evolution' section of the system.

"How do I get her to evolve and which benefits does it bring?"

Leaving apart the idea of evolution for the moment, he was preparing to begin cultivating the method that his father, Janus, had left him as inheritance.

Cultivation Method: Spirit Guide

The most common technique any Guardian clan would have collecting dust on a bookshelf.

Rainer spent the rest of the afternoon reading the book.

"Even in a different world I still have to study." He closed his eyes while recalling the method of circulation.

Carry the spiritual energy to the Astral Gate, then move the energy through all energy lines and repeat.

After a few hours of practice, Rainer felt a severe pain in his thorax, which was the location of the Astral Gate.

"The manual didn't say anything about pain -"

Clenching his teeth, Rainer circulated his spiritual energy one last time when he noticed that his Astral Gate was twice the size!

"I managed to break through..."

"But that was too fast, the handbook says it takes a whole day to open the Astral Gate, and I've done it in a few hours, finally things are starting to go in the right direction."

Rainer had just stepped into the world of cultivation! Next to him, Lerna vanished into his recently opened Astral Gate for a rest.

"Lerna, tomorrow we'll inform the clan.

"Let's see if they dare take away my resources now that I'm a Guardian too."
