Chapter 1: A New World, Beast Tamer!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Late at night in an ordinary house and an ordinary room.
A young man lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.
It’s been 16 years since I came to this world.
But why haven’t I accomplished anything?
6
The young man’s handsome face had a hint of maturity and boldness that didn’t match his age.
2
But now, he was frowning as if he had encountered something troubling.
His name was Adams, and he wasn’t from this world.
1
It had been 16 years since he transmigrated from Earth to this world.
4
He originally thought that this world was the same as the original world, and would at most be a parallel one.
But he was wrong.
This world’s development trajectory was the same as Earth in his previous life.
However, later on, the trajectories took on completely different paths.
This world belonged to the Beast Tamers.
2
In this world, everyone could contract with ferocious beasts.
He would make those ferocious beasts his battle servants.
The strength of a battle servant represented a person’s social status.
The more powerful one’s battle servant was, the more powerful one would be on this planet.
As for how the beasts were born, there was still no conclusion.
The only certainty was that everything had happened 200 years ago.
That night, spiritual energy started to recover.
2
Animals and plants began to evolve crazily.
They attacked the humans at the top of the food chain.
The technology that humans were proud of was only able to gain a temporary advantage against the evolved creatures, and it quickly lost its effect.
3
In just a year, humans had lost more than half of their population.
4
At this critical moment, a Beast Tamer appeared among the humans.
2
Beast Tamers could sign contracts with ferocious beasts and command them to fight for them in battles.
2
With the continuous increase in the number of Beast Tamers, humans managed to gain a foothold in this dangerous situation.
1
They started to rebuild huge bases and cities, relying on thick walls and powerful Beast Tamers to develop and survive until today.
And a strong Federation had been reestablished.
1
And today, all humans could contract ferocious beasts and become Beast Tamers.
The Federation would provide their citizens with a beast egg when they were 13 years old, so that they could contract it.
2
As for what kind of beasts they could contract with, it was completely random. However, most of them were low-level beasts.
As for those families with power and influence, they had naturally prepared suitable beast eggs beforehand, so that their children would be one step ahead of others from the start.
Adams was born in a common family.
1
His family conditions were average, so he could only use the random beast eggs provided by the Federation.
Unsurprisingly, he contracted a low-level Iron-billed Sparrow.
3
It had been three years since the contract was signed.
However, Adams’ Iron-billed Sparrow was still growing and hadn’t entered the Iron-tier.
After 200 years of development, human society had already stabilized.
Iron-tier Beast Tamers could only work at the lowest level.
If battle servants had special abilities, the Beast Tamers could advance a little higher and do better jobs.
However, Adams’ battle servant was an Iron-billed Sparrow, a beast that could only kill caterpillars.
1
Even if he entered the Iron-tier, it would be difficult to find a job, not to mention that he was still in the growing-up period!
6
Under normal circumstances, it was based on the talent and nurturing of the Beast Tamer.
Most battle servants would enter the Iron-tier within a year, or no more than two years.
Adams had been contracted for three years, but his battle servant was still growing.
2
This might have something to do with the fact that he was from Earth and not a native human.
But so what? According to the talent he displayed now, his future was already destined.
Destined to rot.
3
Adams couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
Could it be that when I transmigrated to this world, I could only be an insignificant minion; a minor character?
7
With this thought in mind, the frustrated Adams picked up his phone, wanting to search for information and find the possibility of a comeback in the future.
At this moment, Adams saw some students chatting in the class chat group.
With some hesitation, Adams clicked in.
The first message was from his teacher.
“Our evaluation is in a month.”
1
“This is the final test of your battle servant knowledge for the past three years!”
“I hope that everyone studies hard and achieves good results in this final test!”
1
“Students whose battle servants are still in the growth stage should work harder and strive to become Iron-tier Beast Tamers as soon as possible. This way, when you look for jobs in the future, it will be easier and more promising. Your salaries will also be higher.”
1
Adams frowned at the messages.
In the class, there was only one person whose battle servant was still in the growth stage.
That was him—Adams.
1
Before Adams could react, a new message popped up on the screen.
“Haha, Teacher, you don’t have to worry about Adams’ future. Adams is currently working part-time in my family’s orchard, and he’s doing quite well. Once the test is over, I’ll get my father to hire him and increase his salary.”
4
Parker had sent the message. His family owned a few orchards, and his family was doing well financially.
Adams worked part-time in his family’s orchard, using the Iron-billed Sparrow to help the fruit trees get rid of bugs and earn some living expenses.
And from time to time, Parker would bring this up.
On the surface, he was concerned about Adams, but everyone knew what he meant.
It was just to insult Adams in the name of helping his classmate.
At the same time, he wanted to satisfy his vanity and sense of superiority.
The teacher praised Parker.
7
“Parker, your spirit of helping your classmate is commendable. I will report to the school and apply for a scholarship for you.”
2
“It’s my duty, and it’s just a small matter, anyway.”
1
Parker acted very humble.
“Hahaha, do you think there will be Iron-tier caterpillars in the orchard?”
“Adams, you have to work hard. If you don’t upgrade your Iron-billed Sparrow to Iron-tier, you will be chased around by caterpillars.”
“Don’t worry, Susan. The Iron-billed Sparrow is very powerful with its iron beak. Are you afraid of it?”
“Hahaha, I’m so scared. Sob…”
“Hahaha…”
…
There was no expression on Adams’ face as he read the message on his phone.
In the world of Beast Tamers, strength spoke for everything.
2
The Federation needed powerful Beast Tamers to expand their territory while protecting the city.
Therefore, the status of a Beast Tamer continued to rise.
Even if a high-level Beast Tamer were to beat a commoner to death, they wouldn’t receive much compensation. All they had to do was give some compensation.
4
Additionally, Adams wasn’t even an Iron-tier Beast Tamer. He didn’t even have the right to speak in society.
Adams turned off his phone and stared out at the stars.
The starry sky was dazzling, while he was just an ordinary person.
2
Am I going to live my life like this?
The youth by the window looked up at the starry sky and couldn’t help but fall into confusion.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Adams’ mind.
“Ding… Detected. Dormancy has passed. System has been activated…”
6
“Ding! System activated!”
“Ding—Host’s talent has awakened. You have received a double contract!”
“Ding—Current number of Battle Servants: 1/2!”
2
“Ding—Experience points are full. Do you want to increase the level of the Iron-billed Sparrow?”
5
…
“System?!”
