Unscientific Beast Taming Chapter 1
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Certain folks didn't fully perish even following their demise…
Following prolonged oblivion, Shi Yu abruptly sat up on the bedding.
He inhaled the crisp atmosphere, his torso heaving.
Bewilderment, bewilderment, and various emotions flooded his thoughts.
What location was this?
Next, as Shi Yu instinctively scanned the environment, his bewilderment deepened further.
A solo occupant sleeping quarters?
Even supposing a rescue had succeeded, he ought to find himself in medical care now.
Moreover, his physique… why showed no signs of harm whatsoever?
Baffled, Shi Yu's eyes rapidly glanced over the space before settling on a reflector near the bedding.
The reflector displayed his present look. He appeared around 17 or 18 and seemed quite striking.
Yet the issue lay in this not being him!
Earlier, he had been an attractive youth in his twenties employed for some time.
However now, regardless of the angle, he resembled merely a secondary school pupil…
This transformation left Shi Yu dazed for quite a while.
Refrain from claiming the procedure succeeded marvelously…
Since this transcended mere medical intervention; it resembled sorcery. His features and form had entirely shifted!
He had transformed into an utterly distinct individual!
Might it be… that he had journeyed to another realm?
Besides the reflector at the bed's head, which evidently suffered from unfavorable fengshui, Shi Yu spotted three volumes nearby.
He grasped them for examination, and the headings immediately rendered him speechless.
[Essential Handbook for Novice Tamers on Breeding Creatures]
[Post-Birth Care for Pets]
[Assessment Manual for Beast-Eared Females Across Races]
Shi Yu: “?”
The labels of the initial pair seemed ordinary, yet what concerned the final one?
Ahem.
Shi Yu's expression grew grave as he extended his limb. Yet his appendage abruptly went rigid.
Right when he neared flipping the third volume to discover its content, a fierce ache struck his skull while a torrent of recollections inundated his consciousness.
Icefield City.
Within the creature nurturing facility.
A trainee in pet cultivation.
Beast Tamer?
What folly was this…?
This abrupt influx of recollections required over a dozen minutes for Shi Yu to process.
After an extended period, he lifted his head bearing a intricate look.
His suspicion held true. It appeared he had indeed ventured into another realm.
Not solely due to these recollections, but also since he recognized his appearance wouldn't deceive.
As widely recognized, unattractiveness disqualified one from realm-crossing. This constituted a principle of sorts.
And given his prior handsomeness, naturally, he had journeyed…!
Subsequent to his untimely end, he undoubtedly had arrived in this parallel realm dominated by creatures.
Though this chamber resembled a contemporary solo lodging, he no longer resided on Earth. Rather, he had arrived at a sphere termed Blue Planet.
This domain proved exceedingly peculiar, with customs utterly diverging from Earth's.
From antiquity, exceptional forces had prevailed here, yet they differed from the combat aura, sorcery, and cultivation paths depicted in films Shi Yu viewed…
For here, each being harbored the potential for exceptional advancement.
Via persistent advancement, the majority of fauna and flora could rouse superior intellect and formidable capabilities.
Such potential extended beyond flora and fauna. Even peaks, bodies of water, and blizzards might advance into sentient entities.
These exceptional beings would wield potent forces like bolts, infernos, and gales. They mirrored Earth's legendary creatures.
Amidst this backdrop, during this realm's primordial era, frail humans depended on mighty beings as protectors to endure in clans.
Yet following prolonged evolution, humanity progressively forged their unique exceptional force: beast control.
Certain individuals could forge a secondary realm within their psyche via contemplation and seize exceptional beings through this prison-resembling secondary realm.
Initially, humans forcibly ensnared feeble exceptional beings, employing them as servants for labor and combat, though against mighty exceptional beings, humans remained largely helpless.
Subsequently, some realized that exceptional beings within the Beast-Taming Space grew at rates several times swifter than externally, facilitating easier transcendence of species limits and advancement.
This revelation offered humanity a path to ascendancy, prompting deeper inquiry into the Beast-Taming Space.
Promptly thereafter, in capture, instruction, nurturing, and direction, humans enhanced their beasts' potentials, refining this framework to enable human cultivation of diverse potent combat companions. Their vocation emerged as Beast Tamer upon the global arena.
As Beast Tamers ascended, numerous exceptional beings proactively sought pacts with humans, desiring to leverage humanity's exceptional force for rapid growth and to surpass species bounds.
Presently, millennia onward, humanity had erected a radiant beast-taming society, dominating the planet's most bountiful territories.
Within this creature-dominated epoch, Beast Tamer status signified prestige and hierarchy.
Every sector intertwined with Beast Tamers. Solely as a Beast Tamer could one attain supremacy across domains.
For instance, a renowned Beast Tamer's tournament participation fee could soar exorbitantly.
A single potent Beast Tamer overseeing a metropolis could immensely elevate its financial vitality.
Beast Tamers claimed pivotal roles in most sectors, with apex spots also Beast Tamer-held…
Nevertheless, despite humanity's ascent, vast untamed creature hordes persisted across regions, frequently unleashing calamities upon human settlements.
Hence, certain metropolises sought to attract mighty Beast Tamers for guardianship.
And within his recollections… the kin of his former self had perished amid a creature onslaught.
“The Beast Taming Realm… I've grasped the basics.
“Yet why remains my plight so dire post-journey?”
Shi Yu drew a profound breath. Fine then. Still, in this perilous parallel realm, crossing as some affluent successor would have suited better.
Ideally with a guardian dragon-maiden archetype and sprite companions from youth. Only thus would the crossing hold worth.
Regrettably, journeying mirrored rebirth. It demanded expertise.
He retained the name Shi Yu, yet his role shifted from Earth's Mythology Scholar Shi Yu to an unremarkable trainee pet cultivator at Icefield City's pet-nurturing base.
He wasn't a Beast Tamer… More akin to a menial aide for Beast Tamers.
This facility specialized in pet rearing… though he merely learned rearing techniques presently.
His routine involved nourishing pet younglings, waste removal, and sanitation.
He embodied a genuine base-tier laborer.
Nonetheless, through these tomes alone, Shi Yu could embark on his knowledge pursuit. Thus, he pursued studies…
The drive behind his predecessor's diligence in these blended recollections stemmed from aspiring to Beast Tamer status. Yet realistically… he was a destitute orphan incapable of self-sustenance, much less pet training.
Given the original Shi Yu's origins, achieving Beast Tamer rank proved immensely challenging.
Still, “Shi Yu” held some fortune. With modest aptitude and diligence, his current role connected to Beast Tamers. Future Beast Tamer attainment wasn't unattainable.
“He” had even amassed preparations, resolving to procure premium pet younglings via borrowing to attain Beast Tamer.
Indeed, at such tender years, he opted for pet financing!
Shi Yu's resolve crumbled. Truly lamentable.
The present Shi Yu, burdened by prior life's housing and vehicle debts, harbored immense empathy from a hundred million angles. He hadn't anticipated borrowing anew post-journey.
Such concerns lay afar. Currently, Shi Yu served as a humble laborer.
Furthermore, duties awaited shortly. His labor timetable proved rigorous.
Frankly, beyond secondary school days, he hadn't risen at dawn's sixth hour in ages…
Shi Yu massaged his aching brow. Subsequently, he approached a partition and affixed a schedule sheet upon it.
This marked the freshly distributed weekly assignment roster. As a nurturing base trainee, his everyday obligations got outlined.
Today's obligations… Shi Yu eyed the Monday entries.
Forenoon: Nourish the Snow Wolves (Solo Assignment)… Shift the sustenance (Team Assignment)…
Postmeridian: Log the advancement metrics of the verdant larva (Group Assignment)…
Indeed…
Assuming his recollections accurate… Snow Wolves formed packs, displayed savagery, and ranked as ruthless flesh-eaters, correct?
For such a hazardous undertaking… did the individual designation hold validity?
Shi Yu sank into contemplation.
He suffered a canine bite in youth, fostering innate caution toward dog-like beings. This task posed difficulty for him.
“Still, it ought not pose issues…”
Shi Yu abruptly remembered possessing Telepathy aptitude. He could converse with any being ordinarily, assuring no mishaps…
His internship placement arose not merely from stellar scholastic theory performance, but also from a distinctive beast-taming aptitude termed “Psychic”.
Upon humans fruitfully forging their Beast-Taming Space via contemplation, they simultaneously roused a Beast Taming Talent.
Apart from lacking his initial pet pact, Shi Yu had fruitfully initiated the Beast-Taming Space and roused his talent.
Thankfully, to foster beast-taming talent bearers, contemporary society integrated the contemplation technique for Beast-Taming Space initiation into mandatory schooling. Shi Yu got assessed for such talents during that phase.
Beast Taming Talents varied widely, yet primarily split into enhancement and exceptional categories. The emergence rate approximated nine to one.
For Beast Tamers bearing such talents — say, a blaze-enhancement aptitude — optimal matches involved blaze-capable pets for rearing. In skirmishes, these Beast Tamers could deploy their talent to amplify their pets’ blaze techniques' might.
Relative to enhancement talents, exceptional talents exhibited complexity and variability. Diverse talents manifested uniquely.
For instance, the exceptional talent “Share” permitted a Beast Tamer to acquire a technique from their bound pet, gaining a supernatural prowess.
Typically, Beast Tamers with this talent surpassed standard ones in self-defense and fighting prowess.
Another, the exceptional talent “Fusion”, enabled temporary union with one's pet into a novel entity. Perhaps those beast-eared maidens truly manifested?
Regarding Shi Yu’s Psychic talent, though exceptional, it ranked fairly prevalent among such. It constituted one of the frequent exceptional talents.
Beast Tamers gifted with telepathy could converse barrier-free with any sapient being post-aptitude mastery.
Ordinarily, Beast Tamers discerned solely their bound pet's musings. Conversely, telepathy-gifted Beast Tamers could interact with others' pets or even feral ones.
For Beast Tamer vocation advancement, while telepathy didn't elevate combat directly, its role remained vital and irreplaceable.
After all, interspecies dialogue could avert needless conflicts.
For example, within Beast Tamer domains, medicinal aides, educators, investigators, cultivators, and similar central roles predominantly fell to telepathy-talented Beast Tamers. It served as a versatile asset.
Bearing this utilitarian Beast Taming Talent, he logically fared better with feral beings…
Considering this, Shi Yu exhaled in reassurance.
Though Telepathy usage eluded his full command, it couldn't falter severely.
He instinctively activated his Beast Taming Talent to perceive environs. He aimed to rehearse procedures beforehand, avoiding later errors.
Yet at that instant, an unforeseen event transpired…
As Shi Yu’s Beast Space pulsed within his psyche, his sight abruptly hazed. Then, a dark lithic compendium materialized in his mind.
It seemed he had… roused a secondary Beast Taming Talent!
