Frank glanced at the new Monster Pet Egg he acquired, the Black Void Dragon Egg, which seemed to harbor a new and powerful young monster within.

​​

Most of Frank's monster pets such as Ruby, Zhulong, and Ginseng were currently within his Divine Realm or hunting monsters inside of Orb's Dungeon, they were always busy doing something, although thanks to Frank, they were living very relaxed lives.

Nonetheless, he knew that they were craving for challenges and to explore new areas, so he had bought them here and registered them as tamed monsters, and helped him a bit in the extermination of the undead that appeared inside the graveyard of Westwind.

Frank glanced at the Monster Pet Egg, which black and purple-colored, with waves of purple and black, that came one after another, making for a psychedelic egg mark design.

The egg itself was a B-Rank item, which meant that the monster inside could come out pretty strong right away… B-Rank items were after all, quite amazing.

However, Frank decided to check the monster egg information to get a better insight into what it truly was.

[Black Void Dragon Egg (B)]

The egg of a Black Void Dragon, a species of Dragon that originates from the world of Gaia, where monster tamers and monsters combine their strength to fight and cultivate.

The Black Void Dragon is a powerful Dragon-type Monster Pet with the power of manipulating darkness and the void. With enough effort and training, it is possible to traverse the void and reach the stars with their power.

…

"Huh, pretty simple description though… Does it really have such power? Maybe it will be a good companion… Perhaps I can travel to space with it. Wait, can't I do that already? I wonder…" thought Frank, as he decided to "open" the item through the System function of opening an item, which immediately made the egg begin to crack!

Crack, crack!

Crack!

The eggshell began to crack open and fall over the ground, as a little black paw emerged out of it, and then another!

Crash!

The little, black-colored dragon flew out of the eggshell triumphantly, as it landed over the floor rather dumbly, hitting its face.

Boom!

"Ah! Poor thing… Are you okay?" asked Frank, feeling sorry for the creature as he used Lifeblood Bestowal to heal its pain.

"Graaaaaaooo…" it cried, even little tears began to come out of the little dragon, making Frank's heart almost shatter!

The little Black Void Dragon resembled a black-colored lizard, with tiny legs… it had four- no, it had six legs, actually, with three sharp, black-colored, and metallic claws.

It also possessed a long tail with black spikes at the end, and a single black horn growing from its forehead, alongside shiny crimson eyes, which were shining even brighter now than it was crying like a baby.

Frank began to pet it gently until the little dragon slowly calmed itself down.

"You are such a crybaby… There, there, calm down…" sighed Frank, thinking that it might be a bit hard to make this little dragon fight if it began to cry after tripping over and falling over its head…

The dragon slowly calmed itself as it began to rub itself over Frank's chest cutely, it seemed to already see Frank as his parent or something, as it released little groans of comfort.

The dragon had the size of a house cat, no more than that, and it seemed rather adorable to Frank.

"Sigh… How should I name it?" wondered Frank, noticing that the little dragon was a female through her status.

"Hm. Your scales shine like black jewels… Maybe Onyx just like the stone of that same color?" said Frank, naming the Black Void Dragon as "Onyx".

Frank called Ruby and Zhulong afterward, as the two other dragons friendly greeted Onyx and played with it.

"Grawr!" said Ruby adorably, although she was rather big, she was able to change her size. After evolving she resembled a red-scaled catfish with legs, meanwhile, Zhulong seemed a bit more majestic and larger.

"Roar!" said Zhulong, licking Onyx.

"Graaoo…"

Onyx seemed rather timid at first, but quickly got to know Ruby and Zhulong better after exchanging a few licks, and Frank left the three feastings in some butchered monster meat hunted in the dungeons for the meantime.

"Well, now that we got that out of the way…" said Frank, glancing at the other items he acquired.

Frank used the [Automatic Level Up Potion: 1 Level (C)] to increase his Level to level 64, his stats increased a bit, and he got some bonus App Points and Skill Proficiency, but nothing too outstanding to talk about.

Afterward, there were four other items that Frank found interesting, the [Fire Dragon Blood Potion (D)], [Necrotic Death Core of Obscure Darkness (C)], [Red Jewel of Soul Flames (B)], and [Starlight Grass of Cosmic Brightness (B)].

The Fire Dragon Potion seemed to be an item ideal for Ruby, as it gave dragon bloodline to any reptile-type and fire-type monster pet, seemingly being an item originating from this monster trainer world as well, which made Frank curious about exploring it.

Ruby was still not a dragon, as she was a Fire Wyrm, perhaps very close to becoming one, but perhaps by drinking this, such thing could be hastened, and she could finally become a dragon on her next evolution.

Ruby drank the blood potion rather hastily, as her entire body began to glow red, and her power intensified a bit. However, Frank knew that she would need to evolve to reach the dragon form, which she was not so far from, being Level 47. When Frank woke up Ruby was Level 41, so she had leveled a lot since he woke up.

Afterward came the [Necrotic Death Core of Obscure Darkness (C)], another monster pet feeding item from this world, which should be given to Undead-type monster pets to enhance their capabilities and be able to develop a Death Core.

Despite her strength, Yurei was still one of the Undead that lacked an actual Death Core, even Zero and Nezhit already had some, so Yurei was the only one left in the party without it… perhaps her body type did not make it possible for her to acquire one, so by using this item, Frank could finally give it to her.

Seeing how Yurei would be useful in many situations and that Frank might probably bring her to other worlds as well to camouflage as different houses and manors, he decided to give her this little gift.

Yurei groaned happily as a phantom mass absorbed the core and ate it somehow… Do not ask me how.

After that, Yurei felt a sudden rush of power course through her entire phantasmal and house body, as a sudden, black-colored crystal began to grow at the depths of her body, within the "underground" area of her manor body.

It will take some time to grow completely, and quite possibly she would need to evolve to get it completely done, but Yurei was growing even stronger now.

Lastly, there were two items left, which were rather strange, as they were not for feeding nor particularly for the use of Frank, they were the [Red Jewel of Soul Flames (B)] and the [Starlight Grass of Cosmic Brightness (B)].

"These items are… Wait, Divine Materials?"
