Rex quickly ran off before Terra and her Minion could react or even see him. Terra shrugged it off and walked away.
It was nothing let's go!
...
Luna and Mia both made it back to the tent. Luna kept on thinking over and over about her being a diamond beast.
"I still don't really understand". "When I came to this world I became a diamond fox beast and now to only way to get back home is to figure out my bloodline." " Mom who are you really?"
Zing quickly popped up to try and comfort Luna.
Don't worry you have plenty of time to understand everything. Don't try to figure it out all at once it will hurt your head.
Luna looked at Zing frustrated.
Zing why can't you just tell me everything I need to know? You are an advanced system so I'm sure you have a lot of knowledge about my bloodline. Plus you said as soon as I put on the bracelet I summoned you. You must have known my mother so just tell me the truth about her and maybe my father too.
That's not how this works Luna. I was only programmed to help you become stronger and uncover the truth.
Luna...!
What that makes no sense! You clearly know everything! Quit wasting my time and just tell me everything!
No! I made a promise to your mother! You must uncover the truth on your own. I can only be your guide.
So you knew my mother?
Yes.
Do you also know my father?
Yes.
Luna was surprised to know that Zing knew her parents. Even though it was obvious because her mother gave her the golden diamond bracelet. But it was still surprising yet strange.
Can you at least tell me one thing please?
Zing sighed at Luna but decided to answer.
Sure what is your question?
Is my mother or even my father really human?
Zing took a moment to respond to Luna's question but finally answered. Even though she was breaking her rules she decided to giver her the answer.
No they are not human they are not from the modern world. So there is no point in wanting to go back to a world that you don't belong to yet alone—
Zing stopped her words and quickly reminded herself the rules. Luna became even more eager to know more especially the last sentence of what Zing was going to say.
What were you going to say just now?
Nope no more! You must figure out the rest on your own.
Urgh! Fine I won't ask anymore!
Rex ran inside the tent and was breathing hard. Luna quickly stopped her thoughts and ran towards Rex.
Rex what's wrong? Were you running around outside? Where did you go?
Unfortunately Rex couldn't talk to Luna so she couldn't understand anything he was saying. He just kept on meowing the entire time. Luna just brushed it off and decided to get him some water.
Rex kept on meowing over and over doing everything he can to tell Luna that she is in danger. But it was no use Luna just didn't understand. He was just a cat after all but now he is a small white tiger.
Luna eventually got tired of the constant noise coming from Rex. She did the best she could to try and understand him.
What is it honey? What do you want from me?
Luna has never seen Rex act like this before she couldn't help but to worry.
"What is wrong with Rex I don't understand?" "If only I could understand him."
Luna did everything she could to see what was wrong with Rex but it was pointless. She checked to see if he was hungry, thirsty, and sick but it was no use. All Rex did was make a huge fuss and ran around in circles until he got tired.
Luna turned to Zing for some answers.
Zing can you help me gain some type of ability to understand animals?
That's not how I work Luna and besides you have to upgrade your level in order to gain some abilities.
Ugh! You are so useless!
Zing quickly got offended by Luna's words and made a fuss.
No I am not! I can tell you what is wrong with him but I can't give you the ability! Rex is trying to warn you.
Huh? Warn me? Why?
I'm not sure but I'm guessing your spirit animal senses some type of danger around you.
Luna looked confused at Zing.
What? Spirt animal? Why are you saying Rex is my spirit animal?
Silly girl, why do you think he got turned into a tiger cub? He became your spirit animal he will become stronger and be able to grow bigger once you get stronger.
Rex finally calmed down and looked at Zing. Besides Luna Rex was the only one who can see Zing and hear her. Luna looked back at Rex and realized that he can see Her system.
Wait can Rex see you?
Yes he can. Rex are the only ones who can see me.
Why?
Because he is your spirit animal he is here to protect you and guide you on your journey.
Really?! It's just like those anime heroes where they get a powerful animal companion on their side to protect them. That is so cool!
Yes, you can also get many more spirt animals on your side to protect you when you are in danger. You just need to level up and gain more soul beast stars.
Like a divine dragon?
Yeah.
That's so cool!
Rex started to get annoyed at Luna because she was getting off track.
Meow!!
Luna looked at Rex and saw how annoyed he was with her.
Oh right I almost forgot.
Luna looked back at Zing with a serious expression on her face.
So am I in some kind of danger? And if I am what should I do?
Hmm...well perhaps you should investigate this matter.
How do I do that?
You should let Rex be your guide. Since he knows what is going on you should let him help you understand the situation. Then you must find a way to avoid it plus you need to start training yourself to get stronger including Rex.
But—
Before Luna could finish Zing stoped her from talking.
Congratulations Luna you have triggered an advanced task. Train yourself to become stronger and avoid danger for 3 days.
Huh? How can I get stronger within 3 days? That's impossible!
I'm not saying become an all powerful woman in 3 days. All I'm saying is boost your level to get a little stronger than you were before. If you complete this task you will get a special reward and a level upgrade. Here are the steps to take—
Zing gave Luna a small book the book was in Japanese language so Luna was able to read the book. The title of the book said the healing skill.
Luna looked at the book with a bit of excitement.
So I will be learning how to use healing magic.
Yes, in order to get strong the first step is learning your healing abilities. Study all kinds of plants including water with fruits.
Why water?
You have a special connection with water it is one of your special abilities. If you learn this at least for 3 days you can gain some small healing abilities.
Just hearing that sounded kinda cool to Luna. But why only 3 days? That doesn't give Luna enough time to be a master of healing magic.
Also please keep yourself safe when investigating the danger that is trying to come after you. Remember let Rex be your guide and don't loose track of time. You only have 3 days.
Why just 3 days?
Because your ability is kind of slow so we have to take tiny steps plus I'm testing to see how well you can handle it.
Luna didn't know what Zing meant by that but she accepted it.
I'm going now but call me if you need me. But remember follow Rex guide.
Zing quickly left before Luna could even react or say anything. Rex was worried about Luna and wanted to keep her safe. Luna looked at the healing skill book and started to read some of it. Luna always did love reading books so it was nice that she could still read in this world.
Luna was a bit nervous on starting this task but she needed to start training. Rex jumped down on from Luna's arm and tried to get Luna's attention. Luna was about to react until she heard footsteps from outside the tent.
Luna got up to go investigate, she looked out of the tent only to see Wan standing outside looking right at her.
Wan smiled at Luna and his heart began to beat faster.
So this is where you stay?
How did—
One of my men told me they saw you and the other female come here so I came to see you.
Luna didn't know how to respond or react to this.
"He can't be serious? I hope he is not into me"
Wan walked up closer towards Luna and gave a soft smile again.
It was Luna right? That is such a beautiful name why don't you come hang with me for a bit? I would like to get to know you.
Wan was indeed a very handsome man Luna couldn't help but to like his appearance. But Luna had no interest in mating. Oh god no not mating that is too much!
If I say no will you leave me alone?
No.
Wan was quick with his response still having a sweet smile on his face.
If you come with me I will leave you alone for a little while.
Luna didn't know what to say or how to respond.
"Should I go with him?" "He is so handsome and charming too" .
Rex quickly jumped in and tried to get Luna's attention again but it was no use. She was too distracted talking to Wan.
Fine I will go with you if you promise not to bother me for a while deal?
Fine deal!
Luna thought that it wouldn't be a big deal to talk to this guy and see what he want's. Rex got even more annoyed at Luna being so careless.
Meow!
Luna looked at Rex and pat his head.
Don't worry I can handle this. I'm going to talk to him real quick and then get back at taking care of the task. Plus I need to look for some plants anyway I will be fine.
Rex was getting nervous and he felt uncomfortable around this guy anyway he didn't trust him. But Luna was being a naive fool. Luna has always been a naive idiot for a long time. If only she would follow her spirit animal guide maybe then her consequences wouldn't have been so horrible.
