"Finally, some bit of balance, and my intelligence is now leading the front..." Ryuk mused to himself, before he focused.
Now that his Charisma was good, it was time to get on with the way he had planned on raising his strength, and that was...
In the next instant, his eyes slowly closed, the air ruffling around his hair and the grasses beside him, but then, Ryuk himself had gone into a much deeper world, drowning him of the sensation.
When Ryuk opened his eyes, he was faced with a world of ice and snow.
It was none other than his pet world, but then there was a new presence.
Ryuk could see right at the center of the Pet World, the Pet Incubator.
But right now, shadowy tendrils of energy were rippling out of it in waves, coming from the incubator, and his eyes narrowed as he slowly gazed forth.
Arriving before the incubator, he could feel the suffocating aura of the void that seemed to reduce one's supply of oxygen—almost like a hand grabbing someone's throat.
But he ignored the sensation, opening up the cage.
In the next instant,
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A blast of circular energy shot toward Ryuk, appearing an inch before his face.

The attack had been incredibly deadly and very fast, happening the second Ryuk opened the cage.
A perfect sneak attack, but still, it was too slow for Ryuk. However,
BAAAAAAANG!
The attack smashed straight into Ryuk's face, causing his neck to jerk back behind him.
He hung like that for a few seconds before his head slowly lowered back, a tiny cut having ripped through his eyes and binding them.
But this still couldn't hide the small smile that Ryuk had on his face, his eye shining with tender light as he looked at the tiny creature.
Its body was hidden in an aura of shadow energy, but Ryuk peered through this energy, seeing the creature itself.
Alas, it was a really tiny black cat, currently baring its maw, which had no teeth or fangs, but another ball of dark energy that was quickly brewing
The creature's eyes were pitch black, its tiny claws peeking out and denting the Pet Incubator as it stared hatefully and murderously at Ryuk.
[Host can activate King's Aura to eliminate the murderous aura and subdue the creature.]
The system chimed, but Ryuk shook his head.
"No, I understand..." He truly understood the reason.
It was because of his own neglect.
Isha had told him the egg would probably hatch in around 72 hours or so, but then he had saved Mogriane and came here, forgetting about the beast.
The same happened for Isha who had also not returned to the Pet World for days, deciding to stay in the outside world, forgetting about the Void Egg, which had already hatched and formed a tiny creature within the incubator.
Imagine being born only to see yourself contained in a cage.
The first natural reaction would be to fight it, which the creature must have done, judging by the various lash marks all over the cage. But it had probably failed to get out.
That was why, when Ryuk opened it, its first instinct was to attack him immediately.
He could employ the King's Aura to instantly drain its anger, but he didn't think that was the best way to fix things.
Instead, he stretched out a finger toward the cat, which immediately bared at him, the tiny balls in its mouth flaring even more in power.
It was a clear sign of telling Ryuk to stay away.
"Hey system?" Ryuk suddenly called in his head, his finger pausing in its motion.
[Yes?]
"Have you attuned the creature's attribute to my Shop?"
[No, Host. It will be a waste if you're not planning to contract it.]
"Attune it..." Ryuk replied, and a few seconds of system processing later, the process was complete.
[Get me a Void Dish, perfect for it...] Ryuk replied, as the system interface immediately flashed.
The first dish caused Ryuk to take an inhale from how expensive it was, but he pressed down that feeling as he bought it.
Ryuk's motion of pointing a finger suddenly changed as he looked at the creature, closing his palm, only to open it once more.
But this time, the dark cat paused in its step when it saw the object in Ryuk's hand.
It was a total of three small-sized, but still very big, dark ball-like objects.
But they made the cat's pitch-black eyes suddenly begin retreating.
The darkness in its eyes retreated, eventually concentrating into a single line of blackness, and around it was a blue color instead.
Slowly, it paused, its inching foot toward Ryuk's palm, scenting his hands for a while, before suddenly it moved very fast.
It used its claws, swiping off one of the huge balls before quickly disappearing behind Pet Incubator.
A few seconds of gnawing resonated, as the dark cat battled with the huge, swirling dark ball, for about 30 minutes before the sound turned too quiet.
It came out, only to find the sight of Ryuk's still outstretched hand, still holding two balls.
Once more, it walked cautiously toward Ryuk, eyeing him, while baring its fangs.
But when it saw Ryuk remain motionless, with no sign of hurting it, it yanked off one of the balls, before once more hurling behind the cave.
A few seconds of grinding passed before the cat came out.
This time, Ryuk could see the huge bulge in its stomach, but he still didn't move, watching as the cat moved up once more.
This time it was less cautious as it yanked off the large ball as usual, and 10 minutes later, it came, its stomach dragging on the floor, eliciting a bit of a chuckle from Ryuk when he saw the system notification.
[That's 3,000 Purchase Points gone in a poof. Talk about a greedy bastard!]
The cat eventually came out, looking at Ryuk's hand, which had been depleted of the balls but was still outstretched.
It sniffed his hands for a while, before it stared very long and intently at Ryuk's opened right eyes.
In the next instant, it walked forward, scenting his fingers and climbing on his palm, before collapsing onto it.
The aura of shadows surrounding its body slowly dispersed giving way to the shiny dark fur beneath.
In the end, it had eventually fall into a nap on Ryuk's palm.
