Blake then spoke, looking at her. "So, wanna see what the Grimm Egg hatches into?"
Oscar went to his Inventory and pulled out the Grimm Egg. "I wonder... let's see."
He placed the egg gently on the ground, and with a flick of his wrist, summoned one of his [Shadow Spears]. As the spear hovered just above the egg, a faint pulse of dark energy rippled from it, and the egg slowly began to absorb the spear's shadowy essence. The air around them thickened with an eerie energy, the world seemingly holding its breath as they all watched in silence.
Then, with a sudden crack, the Grimm Egg began to fracture, each line in its surface splitting wider, revealing the mysterious creature within. The cracks continued to spread, and from within, three heads slowly emerged, each distinct but unmistakably connected.
The heads were dog-like, though something was deeply unusual about them. Each one had a pair of glowing, amber eyes that seemed to shimmer with an ancient fire, their gaze both innocent and intense. The creatures' fur was dark as midnight, speckled with flickers of ethereal flame that danced like tiny stars in the void. As they fully emerged, the trio of heads looked around, confused yet alert. Their bodies were small and round, like that of a puppy, their tails short and fluffy, wagging slightly in an uncoordinated fashion as they stumbled forward on tiny, overgrown paws.
It was clear they were no ordinary creature, even in their infantile state. Though their forms were delicate, there was an undeniable weight to their presence, an aura that hinted at untold power. The little creatures' breath left small puffs of smoke in the air, their playful growls sending soft tremors of heat around them, though not enough to cause harm.
One of the heads barked softly, a surprisingly cute sound, but the fiery glow in its eyes made it clear that this was no ordinary puppy. As they bounded forward, they left behind a faint trail of shadowy mist, as if the very ground beneath them couldn't fully contain the dark power that they carried within.
Oscar stared down at the tiny creature, an odd mixture of awe and curiosity rising within him. "What... what are you?" he murmured, half to himself.
The three heads tilted in unison, their expressions still innocent, yet there was an unspoken understanding in their gaze—this was only the beginning.
Ding!
[Would Host like to give a name]
Oscar looked at the Three head Dog Grimm as he spoke. "Cerberus, no, Cerbie".
Blake's eyes widened as she observed the tiny three-headed Grimm creature, now playfully stumbling around on the ground. "Well, that's... certainly not what I was expecting," she said, her tone a mix of surprise and amusement.
Oscar smiled, watching Cerbie, the newly named Grimm creature, as it tumbled over its own paws before getting back up with a series of excited yelps. The three heads each seemed to have their own little personality, one playfully wagging its tail, another nipping at the air, and the third barking with excitement.
"Yeah," Oscar chuckled. "I didn't expect it to be so... cute either. But it definitely feels like there's something deeper behind those eyes. It's like Cerbie knows something we don't." He knelt down, carefully reaching out to pet the creature, and as his hand brushed through the smoke-like mist it left behind, he felt a strange surge of dark energy, like a pulse from deep within the Grimm's body.
Blake raised an eyebrow. "So... what do you think this thing is, exactly? I mean, it doesn't seem like your average Grimm, right? Three heads? That's not something you see every day."
Oscar hesitated, his fingers still gently stroking Cerbie's fur. "I think this little guy is more than just a normal Grimm. Those three heads... it's almost like a mix of something familiar, but also not. It's got the feel of a Hellhound, but there's something... different about it. Something more primal."
Blake gave him a sideways glance. "You think it's going to be trouble?"
Oscar smirked. "Not if I can help it. But I'm not going to pretend I'm not curious about its potential. There's something about Cerbie that feels like it could be more than just a pet—like it's got the potential to become a powerful ally if I can figure out how to train it properly."
Cerbie yelped again, its tails flicking as it bounded closer to Oscar, wagging its little fiery tails, its three sets of eyes fixed on him with what appeared to be affection and curiosity.
Oscar looked up at Blake. "I think Cerbie's going to be a bit of a handful, but if I can harness its abilities, it could be a pretty powerful asset."
Blake shrugged, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips. "Well, just make sure it doesn't burn the place down."
Oscar grinned. "I'll do my best." He then turned his attention back to Cerbie, watching the Grimm pup playfully paw at his hand, as if trying to bond with him.
As he sat back and watched Cerbie, he couldn't help but feel that this new creature would play a pivotal role in whatever lay ahead. There was something about it that resonated with him—an odd connection, one that felt like it was meant to be.
With a final glance at Blake, he stood up, pocketing the Demon Tower Key once more. "Alright, Cerbie. Let's see what you can really do."
Oscar then spoke activating his gamer system. "System show his stats".

Oscar raised an eyebrow, scrolling through the list of stats and abilities. "Not bad for a first-level Grimm. Cerbie's agility is impressive, but durability could use some work." He tapped the menu, thinking for a moment. "Still, I'm impressed. Fiery Breath sounds like it could be useful for crowd control, and Shadow Mist? That's definitely going to be handy for surprise attacks."
Blake leaned in to get a better look at the menu. "Those abilities sound a lot more advanced than what I'd expect from a baby Grimm."
Oscar nodded. "I'm guessing Cerbie's got a lot of potential to grow, especially with the right training. And the fact that he's almost fully loyal already... that's rare for a Grimm, isn't it?"
Blake agreed. "Yeah, usually they don't get attached unless they're given some sort of strong bond. Looks like you've already got a good one with Cerbie."
Oscar smiled at Cerbie, who was now pawing at his leg, clearly eager for more attention. "Looks like it. Guess I've got my work cut out for me. But hey, with these stats, we might be able to take on some tougher opponents soon."
Cerbie barked happily, as if understanding Oscar's words, and wagged his fluffy tail, causing the surrounding mist to shimmer slightly.
Oscar stood up, tucking the stats away. "Alright, let's see how much you can grow, Cerbie. First things first, I'll need to figure out how to balance out that durability."
Blake grinned. "Looks like you've got yourself a little Grimm army forming, huh?"
Oscar gave her a sly grin. "Not an army. Just a loyal companion."
Cerbie then went to Oscar's shadow, as it met Nyx there, and now they are friends.
Blake looked as he spoke. "What do you think he will look like once he grows up?".
Oscar blinked as he spoke. "Yeah".
As the two of them stood there, lost in thought, they both imagined what Cerbie might look like once he fully matured. The mental image began to take shape.
In their minds, Cerbie was no longer the small, innocent puppy with three heads, but a towering, formidable creature—his fur darkened to an even deeper shade of black, almost blending with the shadows themselves. The trio of heads had grown more distinct, each with sharp, glowing amber eyes that burned with an intense, fiery light. The once small and playful puppy body had elongated, muscles rippling beneath its dark fur, giving Cerbie a more intimidating presence. His tails, which were once short and stubby, now swayed with an ethereal power, each one longer and more refined, capable of striking down foes with a single swipe.
The mist that had once only trailed behind him was now a permanent aura, swirling around him like smoke from an ever-burning flame. And as for his fiery breath—Oscar imagined it would be a devastating force that could scorch entire fields, its heat intense enough to melt stone.
Blake could almost see it too, and a shiver ran down her spine at the thought of what Cerbie could become with time. "Wow, if that's what he looks like when he's fully grown, he might give even some of the toughest enemies a run for their money."
Oscar nodded, his smile widening as he saw Cerbie and Nyx bonding in the shadowy corner, the two of them already becoming fast friends. "Yeah, if he grows into something like that, he'll be unstoppable." He paused for a moment. "And with Nyx's strength and Cerbie's... well, fiery abilities, I think I've got an interesting team starting to form."
Blake gave him a smirk. "Seems like you've got your work cut out for you—training two Grimm creatures and keeping them in check. Don't get too cocky, though. They'll probably keep you on your toes."
Oscar chuckled. "Oh, I'm sure of that." He glanced at the two creatures, one emerging from the shadow, the other happily trotting about. "But hey, they're not the only ones I've got to worry about."
Blake raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Oscar grinned slyly. "I'm talking about you and the other students. Who knows what kind of training challenges they'll throw at me now that I've got some Grimm in my corner?"
Later that night, in the Balcony, as Oscar was alone, he opened his gamer System and went to the Monster Menu to check on his two Grimm

Oscar spoke looking at his system, as he made sure no one heard him. "Not bad".
Oscar leaned back against the balcony railing, his eyes scanning the information on his system with quiet satisfaction. He was alone in the silence of the night, the distant hum of Beacon's lights barely reaching his ears. The cool breeze ruffled his hair, but his attention remained solely on the two Grimm creatures he had now become responsible for.
"Not bad at all," he murmured to himself, analyzing the two creatures' progress. Nyx, with her venomous strike and shadowy abilities, had already proven useful in the field, and Cerbie, despite being so young, had potential beyond what he had first imagined. He could already see the future with them: Cerbie, growing into a powerful guardian with its fiery breath and triple-headed fury, and Nyx, becoming more than just a Grimm cat—she was evolving into something formidable, a creature of shadows and serpents.
His fingers hovered over the screen, considering whether he should check for any more updates or take action. His instincts told him it was time to train them further. He needed to get them ready for whatever challenges lay ahead. He knew that Blake was right—he couldn't get cocky. But with this power, and with these creatures at his side, he was starting to feel like he was becoming something more.
He sighed softly, almost a bit surprised by the connection he felt toward them already. Nyx and Cerbie were more than just tools in his arsenal—they were part of his team, part of his new world. He couldn't help but feel protective of them, as they were growing fast under his care.
Oscar tapped the screen, navigating to the Monster Menu once more, his mind racing with possibilities. He was already planning what he would do next with them.
"Maybe I'll take them to the training grounds tomorrow," he muttered. "See how they handle a few sparring matches."
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Maybe I should invite Blake along too. She'll probably get a kick out of seeing these two in action."
As the moonlight bathed him in a soft glow, Oscar closed the menu, feeling a renewed sense of determination. This was just the beginning. With Nyx and Cerbie by his side, he was ready for whatever came next.
