A fine start for any aspiring tamer—a dependable support beast with remarkable mana regeneration and versatile battlefield utility.
After securing my first tame, I sent the Gladehart to the Beast Space, a shimmering pocket dimension linked to my taming seal. My wristwatch emitted a faint pulse—+2 Points—before falling silent. There was still daylight left, and my instincts urged me onward.
The low-level portal stretched out in an uneven terrain of broken plains and tangled forests. As I roamed, I encountered a myriad of creatures: twitching rabbits with glowing eyes, crystalline butterflies that shimmered in the dim light, oversized locusts that hummed like distant drums, foxes with ember-tipped tails, swamp crocodiles lurking in black waters, and even lions with iron-like manes. They were formidable in their own way, yet none bore the unique qualities I sought.
It wasn't until I ventured deeper into the uncharted groves that my attention was seized. Ahead stood towering trees, their trunks impossibly wide, their crowns vanishing into mist far above. Each tree was adorned with a bewildering assortment of fruits—some pulsing faintly as though alive. Yet, what truly set them apart was the instinctive caution of the local beasts. Even high-level predators skirted this grove entirely, unwilling to cross into its shadow.
The reason became clear moments later. As I stepped within reach, the trees moved.
With a sudden rustle like the grinding of ancient wood, branches—thick as siege spears and stretching nearly a hundred meters—lashed outward in a violent surge. Some tried to snare me, others seemed intent on hurling me away from the grove. There was no rhythm, only relentless defense.
Each tree bore no fixed number of limbs—some with a mere twenty, others sprouting far beyond count. Their combined range made the grove a living fortress.
Lacking any combat beast to match them, I relied solely on magic. With a gesture, flame blossomed in my palm. Soon, fire engulfed the grove, devouring leaves and splintering limbs. The air filled with the pungent scent of burning sap. Yet, even in ruin, the cores of the trees endured—glowing, unyielding, and ready to regenerate in time.
Moving quickly, I forced my taming seal upon the two largest and most aggressive specimens. Resistance was immense, their will an ancient, stubborn weight pressing against mine. But with sustained mana and sheer force, their essence yielded.
And then—hidden in the grove's heart—I found the true treasure.
A small, delicate sapling stood trembling among the charred remains, its leaves shimmering faintly like liquid emeralds. Recognition struck like lightning—it was the infant sprout of the World Tree, a legendary being spoken of only in ancient tamer scrolls. Vulnerable and frightened by the flames, it offered no resistance as my seal enveloped it.

Magnificent. The sheer rarity of this find left me momentarily breathless. Who would have thought that a low-level portal concealed something of such colossal importance?
(Ding: Due to the influence of the World Tree Sapling, the Tamer Seal's internal space has been upgraded. Living conditions significantly enhanced.)
So, there are ways to improve the Tamer Seal itself… and clearly, such knowledge is not widely known. Whether due to secrecy or simple greed, tamers who discovered this before me had kept it from the Alliance.
I could not help but smile. This day had yielded far more than I ever imagined. And something told me—it was only the beginning
