Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea-Chapter 17 First Ascension
?Even though I wasn't expecting anything, what I had read still left me utterly discouraged.
'Magical beasts evolved by cannibalizing each other or eating each other cores. But that should be way more than the ability of a common rat' I thought about the way magical beasts ascended and how it was vastly different from other species.
But still, the fact that I could see all everything about the rat held in between my hand on the book's page was weird because it reminded me of the RPG games that I normally played in my free time back on earth.
But thankfully it wasn't because I didn't want my life to turn into one big game where I have to follow the orders of some little boxes in front of me.
Still, where do I get a pen?
Checking underneath the drawers, it didn't take long until I found a pen.
Thankfully the ink was still full after I had tested it on a piece of paper nearby.
Rule number one says that I can only communicate with the book by writing on its pages. So shading on it should also count as writing right?
Not hesitating anymore, I brought down the black pen and shaded the yes option.
And the instant I was done, the words vanished and were instantly replaced with another wall of text.
[Common rat

History:
After being birthed and abandoned on a lone Pirate ship, its whole life has been based on survival either by instinct or by luck. Scavenging for food, living in between the wooden structures of a deteriorating ship, master in hiding itself in plane sight, no ladder is too big or small to climb to make sure that it lives to see the next.
But still, its fate was tied just like any common rat, so its journey was never meant to last for long.
[Edit] ]
Looking at the rat's status sheet, I got to see that the only thing that had changed was that its status was now tamed, and my name had now appeared as the owner together with the history which now shows that I could edit it with a huge space under it.
I wonder if I should try...
"Swish!!"
'What the hell?" I thought as I felt a strange gust of wind clashing against my body.
But it didn't stop there. It felt as though tiny strings of needles were piercing my body. I couldn't shout because strangely, it didn't feel painful, rather it felt somehow comforting.
Like my whole body was covered in a warm blanket as the steady gust of wind calmly blew against my body and entered through my pores.
And before I could understand what was happening, a loud bang sounded from inside my body. How I heard such a thing was impossible for me to comprehend.
Bang!!!
And even before I could think it felt like someone had poured cold water on top of me.
My body felt weak as I stumbled backwards before collapsing into my seat.
"What the hell was that?" I said as I felt my head still dizzy from what had transpired.
Wait a minute!!!
If previously I didn't feel like there was anything about my current body, now I did.
Mad John's words suddenly passed through my head as I remembered what he had said.
Breathing in and out, I decided to give his instructions one more try.
But instead of concentrating on the mana around me, I shifted my attention to the breeze that was gently brushing against my body.
I didn't know if it would work because I had never tried anything like this before, but somehow, I felt something had changed in my body, and I could feel it.
50 seconds, 1 minute, 1 minute 50 seconds...
"Concentrate Wyatt, you can do this"' I said to myself as I took the task seriously not stopping until I sensed what I had felt before.
And as though someone out there felt my determination and wanted to reward me for it.
I began to feel hot.
Extremely hot!!
It was as though someone had lit a fire inside of me, and just when I decided to open my eyes, in front of me was a speck of fire floating at the centre of my chest.
My eyes grew wide as various possibilities and explanations raced through my mind. But unfortunately, all of them hit the same roadblock that clarified what was happening.
Needless to say that it was magic.
Or in other words.....
"Flicker!!" "Flicker!!!"
The pages of the book flickered back, showing me my attribute sheet which confirmed my thoughts.
That I had ascended.
[Host: Wyatt Brewer
Title: Beast Tamer [Beginner], Sorcerer [Elemental Magic- Beginner]
Mana Numerical Value: 98
Ascension Rank: Mage Ascendant
Ascendant Path: Beast Tamer
Ascension Level: Rank 1 [Ist Circle]
Ascendant Path: Sorcerer
Ascension Level: Rank 1 [1st Circle]
Tamed Beasts: Common Rat [Can only tame two beasts currently] ]
Unknowingly, I gulped down my saliva as I saw how far my attribute had changed.
"Hahahaha!!" I laughed as I felt the flame slowly vanishing. But somehow, I had a feeling that I could summon it back again.
But didn't Mad John explain that such a thing was hard and that newly ascended individuals could barely control their abilities since they still had no idea what they were doing?
I had no answer to my question, but my thoughts were drawn to my mana numerical value.
According to what Mad John said, only those who had a higher mana numerical value were more attuned with mana and had a better chance of controlling them better than others with a lower mana numerical value.
And I had 98 which is just 2 numbers away from 100.
My smile grew as I finally knew the reason why.
Talent. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
I was talented.
It didn't matter whether it was the former Prince Wyatt's talent because currently, I am Prince Wyatt. And since I am now burdened with all his problems, shouldn't I also be burdened by his talent and every other positive aspect of my present life?
A wave of competence suddenly washed over me as I no longer felt weak.
Unexpectedly something bit my hand, disrupting my celebration and prompting me to yelp out in surprise.
Looking at my hand, I chuckled as I saw that I was still tightly gripping the rat by its neck which was probably the reason why it choose to alert me of its presence by bitting me.
Putting down the rat on my desk, I somehow felt a mental connection between the two of us.
I didn't know how to explain it, but it felt strangely natural. As though I could tell what it was thinking and how it felt.
