After Fishing For 10 Years, I Became A Saint Without Knowing How To Raise Beasts Chapter 4
Advertisement
Chapter 4
Somewhere beyond the prison, there was a very prosperous and enchanting city. Its streets were filled with neon lights!
Meanwhile, in a tavern by the roadside, a few men were sitting and drinking fine wine. The fine wine was extremely expensive, but it was being consumed like water by these boorish men. On the table, there was a piece of paper under the bottle of fine wine!
After reading the paper, a big bearded man looked puzzled. “Are you sure there’s really a C-grade familiar hiding under the Netherworld Sea prison?”

One of his underlings immediately replied while nodding, “I’m certain!”
As he spoke, he passed a cigarette to his boss. When his boss frowned, he smiled flatteringly and lit it up for his boss.
The bearded man heard his subordinate’s answer, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. “Good! We can’t allow this opportunity to slip by! We have to go to the prison!”
The power of a beast tamer depended on their pet beasts, but only a small number of pet beasts that could be tamed from the wilderness were strong enough to be graded.
One should not look down on early-stage C-grade soul beasts. Its strength definitely surpassed all the ungraded beasts!
In fact, it would completely suppress them!
Under such circumstances, if an animal controller could obtain the help of this soul beast, he would become a very powerful existence.
The graduation requirement for the famous Beast Tamer Academy in the city was for the student to obtain a C-grade pet beast.
There were so many students who wanted to obtain soul beasts of this grade that they were extremely expensive.
Hence, the role of a hunter was born.
These few people inside the tavern were hunters. They specifically hunted these soul beasts and sold them to the students or other beast tamers at high prices.
Now, through their own channels, they had found out that there was a soul beast hidden underneath the Netherworld Sea prison.

In addition, it was a C-grade one!
If they could get their hands on this C-grade soul beast, they would be able to earn at least 10 million from it!

The underling looked at his boss’s satisfied expression and estimated that he would get a good commission this time.
He said warily “Boss, there’s something we need to be aware of. There are many prisoners in the prison.”

“What about those criminals?”
“They’ll see us, right?”
“If the prison warden finds out that we sneaked into the prison, I’m afraid that we’ll end up in trouble!”
3
After this underling finished speaking, the few people around him burst out laughing.
They looked at each other.
The entire tavern was filled with a lively atmosphere.
In the end, the bearded man casually responded, “Criminals? What prisoners? There was clearly no one in this prison, just piles of bones!”
“Ah…”
“Yes!”
The underling immediately understood his big brother’s intentions. He was going to completely exterminate all of the prisoners in this prison for the sake of obtaining this C-grade soul beast.
It was possible!
It was just a prison, and those who were locked up inside were definitely people with no power or influence!
8
Under such circumstances, completely annihilating all of them would be an easy task!
After understanding his big brother’s intentions, the underling asked excitedly, “Boss, so when are we going?”
The bearded man flicked away some cigarette ash from his hand. “Start preparing now. We’ll take the helicopter there. We’ll head there in about a month!”
9
“When the time comes, we’ll go and capture this homeless C-grade soul beast!”
“As for those prisoners…”
“You guys are destined to be killed by us.”
3
“Hahahaha!”
It was a moonless and windy night.
In the corner of that colorful tavern, amidst the smell of perfume and alcohol, this group of people laughed more and more heartlessly.
…
Netherworld Sea prison.
Yuchi looked at the sea in front of him, which was emitting a green glow. He was in a good mood.
He had already dealt with the king of nightmares yesterday, and his attributes had now reached 140 points.
His hopes for today were not unreasonable.
Any random 1 to 10-point increase would be acceptable.

After all, everyone had a limited amount of luck. Whoever ran out of it would be the first to leave this world.
2
He did not want to catch any big fish today.
“Let’s just pass the next few days peacefully.” Yuchi chuckled as he flung out the fishing line.
2
He then started humming his own little tune while gazing at the sea in front of him.
He was in a very good mood.
However, good times did not last long, and a notification suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Hehe, has the fish been served?” Yuchi was still feeling relaxed.
‘Is it another triangular cone nightmare?’
‘Or a king of nightmares?’
‘Stop pretending. Only the two of you exist in this Netherworld Sea.’
He then casually focused his mind on the information displayed in the notification.
It was then that he noticed the [Fishing difficulty level: SSS] line of text that was shining with golden light.
“Hehe, it’s indeed a triangular cone nightmare.”
2
“I thought it was something…”
“Wait…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, his eyes widened.
Pfft!
Oh my God!
What sort of existence had a capture difficulty level of SSS?
2
Yesterday, when Yuchi’s attributes were at 40 points each, he encountered the king of nightmares. That was classified as an S-grade capture difficulty level then!
Today, when all of Yuchi’s attributes were at 140 points each, what kind of existence was he faced with now?
What kind of monster had been caught at the end of his fishing line?
The success rate of the SSS-grade fishing difficulty was only 1%!
How strong was this monster?
Were these ancient existences all so cruel? Yuchi was immediately frightened.
He was like a little kid who had just learned how to run and suddenly witnessed a celestial soaring through the sky!
This was not something he was capable of facing at this moment. It was too scary! A brutal monster like this would possess terrifying skills and powers!
While Yuchi was in a daze, a huge black shadow gradually emerged from the water.
It was different from the human-like triangular cone nightmare or the relatively ferocious king of nightmares. This black shadow was over 100 meters long…
“Did I just fish up a nuclear submarine?”
2
“Oh hell no!”
2
“Dear god!”
1
The 100-meter long creature in front of him slowly floated up to the surface.
Yuchi suddenly realized that he had degenerated into a confused child crying for his mom!
3
He immediately shook his head in an attempt to regain his senses.
There was an insurmountable existence in front of him that completely suppressed his mind and will!
Did he snag one of the rulers of the Netherworld Sea?!
While Yuchi was in a daze, this thing finally revealed its true form!
First, it had three long and slender snake-like necks!
The heads on each had a different shape and form!
The left-most head was like a tiger, the right-most head was like a ferocious jackal, and the head at the center looked like a water dragon!
This was the dragon head that they were talking about here!
The necks converged below to reveal a slender whale-like belly. Its emergence was accompanied by a soul-stirring roar!
“Who is disturbing me?!”
Its loud howl was like the awakening of a giant whale in the deep sea!
No!
It sounded ten times more cruel than those giant whales! No, a hundred times, or maybe even a thousand times!
This howl alone was enough to make everyone in the prison hold their heads and squat down!
They looked at the sky in horror!
It was like the end of the world had come, and even the sky above the sea was flashing with dark purple lightning!
Thunderclouds were gathering, and it almost seemed like an ancient era had finally come into being!
“Three-headed Naga Siren!”
3
Yuchi was shocked.
He had briefly read through the illustrated compendium and had a slight understanding of some of the ancient species that could be caught in this sea region. As such, he immediately recognized what species the other party was!
Three-headed Naga Siren!
1
It was an ancient desolate beast that hunted the king of nightmares and the entire nightmare clan for food!
Wherever they went, they left nothing behind!

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
