I woke up a few hours after sunrise, washed up, and got ready for today's hunt.
New day, new prey.
I changed into a new outfit—Meliodas' gear from The Seven Deadly Sins. I love this one because it screams, "I don't care if I dress badass or not, but are you sure you want to find out?"
Once ready, I teleported to the Kobold lair I visited yesterday, activated my magic domain, and ventured deeper into the forest.
After an hour of searching without encountering any monsters, I sighed. 'They must have run off...'
Undeterred, I pushed forward, traveling farther than planned.
Another hour passed before I finally spotted something—monsters at the edge of my domain, 800 meters away. As I carefully approached, I cloaked myself in dark elemental energy, fearing they might flee. The closer I got, the clearer they became—my excitement surged.
In my mind, I screamed:
'IT'S SILVERBACKS! F CKING SILVERBACKS! Monsters from the Monstorphilia event where Bell fights one with Hephaestus' knife!'
'YES, YES, YEEES!'
Then, I spotted their leader.
"Wait—I've got the most awesome idea."
🔹 Taming Initiated
"J, where are you?"
"I am always here, sir."
"Get me a taming ability. I don't care how much it costs—P.Legend rank. And get me the items to tame this Silverback."
I pointed toward the pack leader as I spoke.
"Right away, sir."

'Damn. Two weeks of farming—gone. But hey, I'm about to get a pet capable of leveling cities if left unchecked.'
Acquired: [King of the Monsters (P.Legend)] 🔹 Effect: Tame weaker monsters with a 95% success rate; stronger ones with 60% (may decrease based on level gap) 🔹 Sub-Abilities:Summon, Recall, Capture 🔹 Item: Empty Monster Card (Mini-Boss Rank)
"Alright. First, I'll take out the other four—I don't need them. Bell fought one with only 600 total stats—my Strength alone far surpasses that."
I moved between the five Silverbacks, dispelling my dark magic cloak and activating {Intimidation Aura}, drawing my sword.
They saw me—but instead of attacking, they froze.
"Perfect."
🔹 The Monster King Commands
"Kneel."
The ground shook as all five Silverbacks dropped to their knees, bowing before me.
A wide smile spread across my face.
"I was planning on killing the other four, but... now I have better plans for you."
🔹 Capturing the Leader
I turned to the pack leader.
"Step forward."
It obeyed, keeping its head bowed.
"You will serve me from now on."
The leader trembled, then lowered its head even further. The other four followed suit.
"Rise. Follow me."
As we walked, I considered their feeding situation—but the answer was obvious.
"J, if I can tame them without using the card, why did you buy it? And what about Summon, Recall, and Capture?"
"Sir, while they obey you now, they are not truly bound. Without the card, you cannot store them, access their status, or prevent them from needing food. By using Capture, they will be permanently tied to you—summonable at will, evolving like dungeon monsters, and utterly loyal, even to death."
"Understood."
🔹 Finalizing the Bond
I halted the group and ordered the leader forward.
Taking out the card, I spoke: "Capture."
A pillar of light enveloped the leader, and the card began to shine.
[Empty Monster Card Used Taming Successful +200 WP Name: ???]
A prompt appeared, asking for a name.
I thought for a moment, then wrote:
🔹 [Acquired Monster Card: {Silverback: Son Goku}]
The glow faded.
The card transformed—its style reminiscent of Yu-Gi-Oh, now bearing "Son Goku".
Though Go remained unchanged, his eyes reflected respect and devotion—no longer fear.
"J, show me his status."
Status: Son Goku

🔹 Understanding the System
Back at the cave, I instructed Go and his pack to rest.
While bathing, I pondered a lingering question.
"J, based on this world's standards, am I Level 8?"
"No, sir. You are Level 9 Adventurer—your level is tied to your realm, not standard progression."
"Explain."
🔹 How Levels Work in This World
"Adventurers absorb magic from slain monsters to grow stronger—skills are granted by the world's laws, which also limit potential growth to prevent destruction. That's why Level 10 is P.Legend, the absolute cap."
"Since gods and goddesses here descended to the lower plane for fun, their mortal forms lack combat ability."
"Realms correspond to levels: Mortal = Levels 1–2 P.Mortal = Level 3 Hero = Levels 4–5 P.Hero = Level 6 Legend = Levels 7–9 P.Legend = Level 10."
"You are Level 9 because you are in the Legend realm, one skill away from P.Legend—your fusion process broke this world's laws."
🔹 Comprehension and Exhaustion
Processing J's explanation, I cycled through confusion, shock, partial understanding—finally, clarity.
Fatigued, I climbed out of the bath, laid down, and drifted into deep thought, falling asleep.
