Divinity: Against the Godly System

"Let's see what you received. I had heard that there were eggs to be found in Divinity that could be hatched, but it was said to be extremely rare. I'm so happy for you," Shu told Ryder as he smiled.

"Yeah."

Ryder brought the egg out of his inventory and placed it on the ground.

There was a small crack on the egg, which started getting bigger and bigger until it spread out everywhere. 

The egg broke apart, revealing the beast inside.

Ryder could see a small creature in front of him that was just like a little cat; however, it had silver fur. There was a horn coming out of this creature that seemed like the horn of a unicorn. It seemed to be made of diamonds. 

[You have received the Diamond Tiger. The Tamed Beast Contract is already established. Do you wish to cancel?]

[Yes]           [No]

"I wouldn't cancel the contract," Ryder muttered as he tapped on no.

[The Contract is kept. Would you like to give it a name]

[Yes]         [No]

Tapping on yes, Ryder gave the little creature a name.

"Let's see what you are, little guy," Ryder muttered as he stepped forward and picked the little creature in his hand, and started looking at his stats.

"Interesting. The stats are almost 5-10 times more than a normal level 1 beast should have. Not bad. It also has mana, but I don't see any mana related skills. Most of its skills are physical skills. Maybe it would get elemental skills as it grows," Ryder observed.

"It seems like an interesting beast. A rare one? Or a normal one? I have no idea since I haven't seen many beasts of Divinity, but it does seem interesting with that diamond horn," Shu muttered as he looked at the beast in Ryder's hands.

'I don't know about it either, which is strange since I have been in Divinity for a much longer time. This does seem to be a rare beast. Even in the original timeline, I didn't know of such a beast," Ryder thought as he looked at the Diamond Tiger.

He looked back at Rale, who was standing nearby.

"Rale, do you have any idea about Diamond Tiger?" he asked.

"No," Rale replied as he shook his head.

"I would need to help it hunt. Low-level beasts don't help me, but he can grow a lot with them. I guess we can hunt for a little longer in the next forest," Ryder muttered as he started walking back. Since no one knew the answer, it wasn't good to waste time.

The carriage started moving again and soon reached the hunting forest. All three of them stepped out of the carriage.

"The forest is known for level 30-40 beasts. I don't think it would be suitable for the little guy to hunt," Shu lamented as he walked over to the forest with Ryder and Rale.

"It's not suitable for it to hunt alone, but I can help it. I can decrease the HP of monsters and restrict their movement, so this little guy can deliver the final attack. The exp from such low-level beasts is useless for me anyway. But even half of that experience would be a big deal for a level 1 beast. It would be able to jump multiple levels," Ryder explained as he stepped foot inside the forest.

After searching around for a while, they found the first monster.

He found a level 40 monster that happened to be the Dark Iron Wolf, who was known for its powerful defense.

" You want to take the first beast, or should I do the honors?" Ryder asked Shu as they found the first monster.

"It's the monster which is at the same level as me, so it's stronger, and it is known for its speed and defense. I don't think I'll have an easy time against it, and a lot of time will be wasted. You take on this beast," Shu replied with a calm smile on his face as he waved his hand. 

Ryder placed the little Diamond Tiger on the ground before them and pointed towards the Dark Iron Wolf that was drinking water in the pond. 

"Alright. Little Guy, it's your first fight. Go attack."

Ryder commanded.

The little tiger-like creature looked at the massive wolf before it, which was multiple times bigger than it. Just the aura of the wolf was enough to intimidate the little creature. 

The Diamond Tiger looked back at Ryder's face with a cry-like face as if telling Ryder that it was a bad idea. 

"Come on, be brave. Go on. Attack," Ryder let out, smiling.

Seeing that there was no getting out of the situation, the little creature gave up on pleading and started running towards the Dark Iron Wolf.

The Dark Iron Wolf looked back at the small creature that was running towards it with a condescending gaze as if it was upset that even such a weak creature dared to attack him. 

Opening its mouth, he fired a dark shadow ball. Electricity flickered around the shadow ball as it moved towards the Diamond Tiger.

Seeing the shadow ball coming towards it, the Dark Tiger closed its eyes as if it was sure that it was going to die, but it didn't stop running.

"Good work, little guy."

The little creature heard Ryder's voice and opened its eyes as it stopped running.

It saw a person standing in front of him. An intimidating looking Scythe was in the hands of the man.

The person slashed the scythe, cutting the shadow ball in half, destroying it instantly.

"Sigh, I can't even attack back, or I would show you the real power of a shadow ball. I don't want to kill you in one shot, though," Ryder muttered as he sighed.

He looked back at the Diamond Tiger.

He patted the head of the Diamond Tiger. "Little guy, go ahead. You did well. Let me take over from here."

Glancing back at the Dark Iron Wolf, Ryder disappeared.

He appeared near the Dark Iron Wolf and kicked the tiger, throwing it back.

The Wolf crashed on the ground, but before it could stand up, it saw Ryder's feel landing on it.

Ryder started cutting the Dark Iron Tiger with his scythe to make sure that it's HP decreased at a controlled pace.
