The baby dragonian just blinked, its gaze unwavering. Its large, intelligent eyes, the color of molten gold, were fixed on .
"Papa," it said once more, its voice a small, clear sound filled with an innocent, unshakeable certainty. The word was a declaration, a fundantal truth that it seed to know instinctively.
I sighed, a wave of resignation washing over . This was a battle I was destined to lose. The little dragon had chosen its word, and nothing I said would change it. "This is going to take so ti," I muttered, but the frustration was gone, replaced by an overwhelming sense of affection. The sheer absurdity of the situation a gar reincarnated into a fantasy world, now arguing with a newborn dragon about parenthood was almost laughable.
"Adorable," I said, a soft, warm smile spreading across my face as I gently hugged the baby dragonian, who tried to resist my embrace with a series of tiny, indignant squirms. Its little claws, no bigger than my fingernails, poked at my palm, but they were more like kitten paws than a monster’s talons.
Its scales were still soft and fluffy to the touch, like new leather, but I knew what they were destined to beco a hardened, impenetrable armor capable of stopping any attack once it grew up. My heart swelled with a fierce, protective pride. I had done it. I had risked everything my mana, my blood, my life and I had won. The reward was beyond my wildest dreams. I hadn’t just gotten a familiar. I had gotten a family.
I held the tiny creature in my hands, its fiery scales soft against my skin, a testant to its youth. The mont was surreal. An SS-class familiar, a baby dragonian, was now mine. But a familiar needed a na, a true na that would bind us together.
"What na should I give it?" I pondered aloud, a thousand nas racing through my mind Blaze, Ignis, Draco. None of them felt right.
Aang! The baby dragonian chirped, its voice a high-pitched squeal.
The sound, the unique noise it made, was the perfect answer. It was simple, pure, and uniquely its own. "Okay, let’s go with that," I said, a wide grin spreading across my face. "Your na from now on is... Kae Vi-rel." The na was a playful twist on my own, a small private joke between the two of us, a testant to our new bond.
Aang! Kae Vi-rel chirped again, as if in approval. Its tiny wings fluttered excitedly, a faint, golden dust shaking loose from them.
This was the mont of truth. I needed to know what this little creature was truly capable of. I activated one of my most powerful abilities, a skill I’d been saving for a mont just like this.
Ding! [Using True Scan E/EX on Kae Vi-rel]
A small flicker of energy washed over the baby dragonian, a silent, imperceptible pulse of magic.
Ding! [Displaying the information of Kae Vi-rel]
A holographic status window appeared before my eyes, displaying a set of stats that made my jaw drop. The numbers were staggering, a testant to the fact that this was not a re beast, but a being of imnse, untad power.

My gaze lingered on the stats, the sheer, raw power of the numbers overwhelming . "Wow," I whispered, the word barely a breath. "I can’t believe these stats for just a newborn dragonian. They can’t even be compared to a human’s." A human with a Magic stat of 72 would be a magical prodigy, a top-tier hero-in-training, but a newborn to have that kind of potential was simply unheard of. The IQ of 6 was a bit concerning, but I knew from the ga that it was common for familiar monsters to have low intelligence at birth, relying purely on instinct. They would get smarter as they grew. And the Charm stat of 50? That was just pure gold. It ant that even a monster like this could be incredibly appealing to others.
But the stats were just the beginning. The real treasures were the skills. Dragon Heart and Dragon Kin were at an astonishing A/SS rank, aning they would only grow stronger, but what truly caught my attention were the two skills hidden by question marks. My True Scan was an incredible ability, but even it couldn’t fully decipher them. This ant they were either legendary, or an entirely new kind of skill that the system had no data on. The possibilities were endless. They could be anything from a form of flight to a passive aura of fire.
This was a new path, a new future. I felt a surge of adrenaline, a triumphant laugh bubbling up in my chest. "Hehehe, this is the best opportunity in this ga-play," I said, a genuine, joyful sound that ca from the depths of my soul. The gamble had paid off beyond my wildest dreams. I had bet everything on a single, legendary egg, and in return, I had received a companion with the potential to beco a god-tier familiar.
My vision blurred, the room swaying around . I had forgotten. The exhaustion. I had pushed my body and mana to their absolute limits, and the reality of my physical state was catching up to . The triumphant grin on my face faded, replaced by a dazed, weary look. The world started to spin, a slow, nauseating vortex of pain and exhaustion. My legs buckled, and I felt myself falling.
"Kael Vi-rel," Hay’s voice ca from a distance, sounding fuzzy and distorted. It was like I was underwater. I could hear him, but the words felt far away. "Kael Vi-rel collapsed just a few minutes ago." My body, having endured the rigors of the hatching ritual, had finally given in. I had poured my essence into the ritual, and now, my body was demanding its rest.
Aang! Kae Vi-rel chirped, a worried sound now, as the tiny creature nudged my face with its snout, its warm breath a gentle comfort in the chaos of my mind. It was trying to wake , a tiny guardian already fulfilling its purpose.
"Don’t worry," Hay said, his voice now clearer, a firm, reassuring presence. "He just needs so rest." He gently lifted the baby dragonian and placed it in the makeshift nest I had prepared for it, a bundle of soft blankets I had scrounged up earlier. The tiny dragon settled in, its chest rising and falling with quiet contentnt.
Zzzz...
I had dozed off just like that, the mont my head hit the pillow, completely and utterly drained. I must have actually strained myself more than I had thought. The pain was gone, replaced by a deep, bone-weary exhaustion that felt like a hundred-pound weight on my chest.
When I woke up, the first thing I did was check the forum for any ssages. I had recorded the entire process, and I knew the video would be a hit. The fa, the attention, it was all secondary. What mattered were the ga points. I could make anything I wanted to get ga points. Fa and popularity ant resources, and resources ant power.
Scrolling through the feed, I saw the early reactions to my video. The comnts were a flurry of disbelief and awe.
1 hour ago Kael Vi-rel always posts unique videos. He’s a walking legend.
1 hour ago Hello! This is [Sword Of All] Belester, top 10 guide! Did you guys see that? An SS-class familiar in the first month of the academy! This changes everything!
1 hour ago I knew it! He’ll be scouted very soon! That kind of potential can’t be hidden for long.
55 minutes ago The academy’s students can’t get scouted now. Not with the new rules. But Kael Vi-rel is a different beast entirely. They’ll make an exception for him.
"Hmm," I mused, a small, satisfied smile playing on my lips. "I’ve already gotten scouting offers coming in. The reaction this ti is not bad, but what would you expect if you see a dragon egg?" The sheer novelty of the video was sure to break the internet, or at least the school’s online community. And then ca the most important notifications.

Ding! [Your luck has been applied. You have received 300 ga points.] Total: 4300
My eyes lit up, the fatigue montarily forgotten. "I collected a lot of ga points," I said, a greedy, triumphant tone in my voice. "Now I can buy so random boxes." I had a newfound fortune, a digital currency that was the key to my future, and I knew exactly how to spend it. The gacha system was my best friend. The more I gambled, the more likely I was to get sothing truly powerful.
