The Pursuit Of Power - Volume 1 Chapter 6 Surviving

[ Chad – Rank/B ]

“Wait what….”

In disbelief, Yuuki rubbed his eyes as he looked at the green name turn blue. Thinking back to his minute gaming experience before the Red Gate incident with his parents, the blue name indicated rarity… right?

“Are you a rare boi?” Lifting an eyebrow, Yuuki’s rapid heart began to slow down as there was no hostility detected from the Alpha Wolf in front of him.

Acting upon the intelligence within his eyes, Chad tilted his head in confusion before nodding rapidly as a human would.

Putting his dagger in his other hand, Yuuki sat down to be level with Chad as he tried to figure out what happened. Apart from no hostility being shown, Yuuki was surprised to see that as he reached towards Chad’s head, Chad moved his head and nuzzled against Yuuki’s palm.

‘What in the actual-‘ Yuuki’s thoughts were interrupted by a deafening sound and he saw the ground far away shake, as though a heavy-weight was being placed on it. A humanoid figure which was enlarged to epic proportions was visible through the snow that was knocked into the air with every step the figure took.

Knowing that staying would be dangerous, Yuuki looked at his only hope, Chad who seemed to want Yuuki to ride him. Getting on top of Chad’s two-meter long body, Chad instantly sprung off and caused Yuuki to almost let go in surprise as Chad easily got away from their area with rapid, nimble movements.

Suddenly turning his head, Chad shook as he looked in a certain direction before he broke into a breakneck blitz and put every ounce of effort he had into running away. Looking in that direction, Yuuki did not feel anything so he assumed that Chad’s greater abilities as a B-Rank allowed Chad to see what he could not.

Eventually slowing down, Chad got Yuuki back to a familiar-looking cliff top. A white streak could be seen in the tundra as a familiar-looking cave appeared within Yuuki’s sights.

Seeing the flame weakly flickering within the wood, Yuuki quickly moved and grabbed some firewood whilst Chad watched before grabbing some on his own volition. Noticing Chad’s actions, Yuuki smiled before going to the fire and tending to it, and once again, the fire grew.

As he leaned against the wall he was now familiar with, Yuuki warmed his body as even whilst clutching to Chad, the piercing chill still affected him.

It was at this moment that Chad came over.

“Please… rub… head…” Panting with his tongue out, Chad painted the picture of what a dog’s behavior looked like. However, Chad was a wolf, an Alpha at that. Nonetheless, Yuuki extended his left hand and stroked the top of Chad’s surprisingly soft fur and scratched here and there which resulted in Chad wagging his tail repeatedly as he growled softly in comfort.

“Aaaah… Master give… good… rub…” Hearing him speak little words, Yuuki thought that the way those words would sound to a normal person was very suspicious, he could imagine the damage that would be caused to him if someone heard Chad without any context.

Still, Yuuki did not tell Chad to not speak as only he could hear him from their connection which he assumed was from an innate ability of his.

Drowsiness seeped into his body and his eyes closed whilst a timer appeared in his vision as he fell asleep.

{Welcome, Yuuki to the Perfect Power Pursuing System.} The same gentle female voice he heard earlier when his body miraculously healed entered his head again.

A panel appeared in front of him.

“Well, it seems that these stats are proportionate to my power, but why is my Charisma so high?” Yuuki had never had any narcissistic thoughts relating to his appearance but every girl had acted weirdly around him other than Hana, even Miss Akane was affected, anyway, the reason he felt confused by his Charisma was that all the girls acting the same meant that their behavior became normal and if they did not act how they did, he would think something was wrong.

Looking at [ Beast Taming ] he instinctively looked at Chad who was currently lying on the ground in a slumber.

“Wow.” Speechless, Yuuki saw his amazing ability Beast Taming which he could foresee would be one of his most important abilities in the future. Already seeing an army of Beasts fighting for him, Yuuki’s mouth drooled at the amount of money he would make as dollar signs were visible in his eyes momentarily.
