Chapter 27 Birth Of Isha

And slowly, its gem-blue eyes stared curiously at the hand, which automatically paused a few inches before its face. A few seconds of silence passed before the creature cautiously drew itself out of its shell, winding around Ryuk's right finger.

Then, with a speed that slightly surprised Ryuk himself, the creature appeared on his shoulder less than a second later, its tiny eyes staring curiously at his face.

Immediately, it stretched its head forward, rubbing its tiny forehead against Ryuk's. A notification instantly appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations, Host has gained the recognition of the new creature.]

[Creature Identified: Ice Serpent Hatchling]

"An Ice Serpent, huh?" Ryuk murmured as the creature slowly withdrew its head and slithered around his hand.

It was small—just about 30 centimeters long and as thin as a pencil. Its icy-blue scales shimmered faintly, with a cold mist trailing from its body. Now the name Ice Serpent made perfect sense.

The creature was curious yet incredibly energetic. It couldn't stop slithering around, moving so fast it almost seemed to teleport. However, Ryuk could still track its movements fairly easily.

[Reminder]

[Active Quest: Contract a First Beast.]

[The Host's action of sharing his blood essence with the beast and being the first to appear before it has vastly increased the beast's willingness for a contract.]

[Would the Host like to contract the Ice Serpent?]

The system's notification appeared again, and Ryuk's eyes narrowed as he glanced at the small serpent.

It was so small, and no doubt just as weak.

Normally, it would be wiser to bond with at least an E- or, better yet, a D-grade beast as a first option. Bonding with such a tiny serpent didn't seem like a logical choice given his current predicament.

As if it could sense Ryuk's conflicting thoughts, the tiny serpent turned its gaze back to him, slithering onto his shoulder and flicking out its forked tongue. It rubbed its tiny head against Ryuk's left eye, causing him to sit up straight as a small chuckle escaped his lips.

"You know what?!"

"Fuck it!"

"Yes!" Ryuk replied, this time without a shred of doubt in his mind.

[Hmm, is the Host sure?] the system asked, just to confirm.

[Congratulations, Host has successfully bonded with the Ice Serpent.]

[Total Beast Slots Remaining: 0]

[New Quest: Name your first contracted beast.]

[Rewards: Unknown.]

The system blinked again, and Ryuk glanced at the serpent, which stared curiously back at him. His lips moved automatically as the name on the forefront of his mind escaped his mouth.

"Isha."

"I'll call you Isha!"

The serpent rubbed its tiny head against his face, slithering happily around him.

"Seems like it loves it, at least," Ryuk chuckled.

"I guess I'm just a natural beast namer."
