“ BIG CAT YOU SAY? “ the beast roared.
“ Are you not a big cat? “ Axis added not bothered by the roar, even though it made him feel his ears might go deaf.
“I am not.”
“Then what are you?”
“I am.. I am uh… “
“ Kreek… kree… [ Just an old spirit beast ]”
“Yes, I am an ancient spirit beast.”
“Spirit beast?“
“Kree… kre… kr… [ Don't worry about it.] “
“Krrr… ree… errr… kre… kre… kre… [Anyway gramps lan, let's start the trial.]“
“Hmmm. Alright I also want to go and sleep quickly but let me follow the rules or that old hag will scold me.“
“Listen here kid” beast announced.
“ ahh! Okey “ started again," Axis replied.
“ Though normally I wouldn't share my name since it's a tradition I will.
I am ronin an ancient spirit beast hereby declare to witness the trail of forest that is to undergo now “
“ Hmm, so can I call you ronin? “ Axis said.
“ do as you wish, in this trial you will have to defeat a shadow beast of my choosing “
“ ahh, ha.. ha. Ha… “ axis laughed as he cursed in his mind ‘ i am fucked ‘
“ you will be fighting a Facoil, in case you don't know Facial’s are incomplete Gracoil and are pretty easy prey for children, you have my attention when ready say so “ said ronin as a small cloud formed and separated from its feet, making shape of a large lizard with smooth skin but no scales.
‘ System insight ‘ axis preyed that insight revealed more information than what it revealed on lyra otherwise he would be in trouble.
{ Successful }

“ Before we start, let me remind you, “ Ronin added “ we will not interfere once the trial starts…“
“ What if I am about to die? "Axis asked.
“ under no circumstances will we interfere” ronin replied ” except when there is outside disturbance in trial “
“ I see, can you give me some time to prepare? “ Axis asked.

The beast, Ronin, nodded solemnly. "Take your time, but do not delay too long. The trial awaits, and I do not enjoy being kept from my slumber."
Axis sighed inwardly, trying to calm his nerves. A C-rank beast with magic resistance? Great. Just great.
He looked at Lyra, who perched nearby, her feathers faintly glowing as she observed him. "Any advice for me, Lyra?"
"Kree… kree… [Hit it hard and fast. Don’t give it time to react.]"
"Right, thanks," Axis muttered, his sarcasm barely hidden. He sat on the ground and began to assess his options.

Axis’s eyes landed on the unallocated stat points. "System, allocate one point to Strength and one to Luck."
{ Ding! Stat points 2 => 0 }
{ Strength has been upgraded to D-. Luck has been upgraded to -S. }
Autour: Why do you ask ? Why'd he put it into luck instead of strength or mana or agility? The answer is quite simple actually, in a desperate situation where even after one has done absolutely everything one can, the success and failure, life and death is determined by luck. As the saying goes, luck is a fickle widow.

‘ can't believe i forgot about this handy item ‘
‘System, equip Black Chained Tome.’

The weight of the ancient tome settled in his hands, its chains rattling faintly as if alive. The moment it activated, he felt a faint pulse of energy flow through him.
