"Damn… there really is a cheat," Jaden screamed inwardly.

However, his face remained completely neutral as he stared at the powerful Trait in front of him.

"Now I need to create a powerful skill that can help me. There's one idea that perfectly suits my current situation…"

Without hesitation, he opened the Authority of Creation interface and began inputting the requirements for the skill he wanted.

A golden panel appeared, filled with adjustable parameters, restrictions, and compatibility warnings.

Skill Type.

Passive or Active.

Effect Range.

World Law Restrictions.

Class Compatibility.

Jaden begun to input the effects of skill though it was not as easy as he thought it would be.

Again and again, error messages appeared.

[ Creation Failed — Exceeds Current Authority Limit ]

[ Incompatible With Class ]

[ Violates Natural Evolution Law ]

Time continued to pass as he worked on creating a perfect skill that could help him.

Finally—

The skill was successfully created.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Jaden grinned when he saw the result. It was exactly what he wanted.

"Now all I need to do a beast that looks trash but is secretly divine." he thought as the Awakening ceremony was also over and now the Headmaster walked back on stage.

The Headmaster begun to give a long and boring speech, but Jaden wasn't paying attention to him. Instead, he was thinking how to get an powerful beast easily with his funds.

Soon, the speech ended, and Jaden happily went to collect the support money from the Academy.

All students received this support fund — he wasn't special in that regard. However, it comes with a condition either reach Rank 2 or higher and make the academy proud, or pay back all the money to Academy.

"Best of luck," his classroom teacher, Sophia, said.

Jaden nodded and left the academy.

Without wasting any time, he headed straight to the market and entered a beast shop.

It was the biggest shop in Red City. Here, one could easily find all types of beasts.

"Ah, a newly awakened Beast Tamer. You've come to the perfect place for your first beast," From behind the counter the old man looking at him said. He welcomed him with smile on his face.

"I only have 500,000 gold coins. Can you suggest a good beast within this price range?" Jaden asked wondering if this store have any hidden gem.

The old man nodded.

"Of course. Please come with me."

Jaden followed him.

Over the last ten years, Jaden had saved 500,000 gold coins from various small part-time jobs and other odd tasks he had taken on for this exact day.

And now, with the additional 100,000 gold coins in sponsorship from the academy, he had a total of 600,000 gold coins.

Now he will see if he can get a good beast within as less price as he can and rest will be used for training and other required needs for his beast.

The old man took him to a section where many small beasts were running around. All of them were like small fluff balls as they moved around chirping and letting out cute voices.

"As you can see, we have many beasts here with the potential to reach Rank 3. You can make your choice from this area," he said, stepping aside.

Jaden nodded.

In this world, every 100 levels were considered one Rank.

From Level 0 to 100 was Rank 0.

From Level 101 to 200 was Rank 1.

And so on.

And the current highest known Rank is 12. So, a Rank 3 potential beast was considered average in terms of power.

If this were before, I might have cried… Jaden thought. But now, I just need to select the beast with the highest potential here — and evolve it further.

He slowly began looking around.

Then—

He activated Eyes of Supreme.

For a brief moment, his black pupils flashed red and gold.

The world changed.

Above every beast, floating translucent panels appeared.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Name: Dual Horn Rabbit

Current Rank: 0

Potential: Rank 3

Evolutions:

• Iron Horn Rabbit

• Swiftwind Rabbit

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Another one—

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Name: Moss Tail Pulp

Current Rank: 0

Potential: Rank 2

Evolutions:

• Stone Fang Hound

• Forest Guard Hound

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Each beast had two or three possible evolutions.

Most of them had Rank 3 potential, just as the old man had said.

Jaden calmly walked around, pretending to inspect them normally, but in reality he was analyzing every single one through his skill.

Higher… I need something higher.

Then—

He stopped.

In the corner, under an artificial sun lamp, a small blackish-violet lizard was basking quietly. After a second, it suddenly moved into the shade… then went back into the sunlight.

It kept repeating this almost every second.

The old man noticed Jaden's gaze.

"Ah, that one," he said. "It's a mutation among Sun Lizards. Normally, Sun Lizards have Rank 8 potential at their peak. But this one underwent a malignant mutation. Its potential dropped to Rank 3."

Jaden's Eyes of Supreme showed something completely different.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Name: Incomplete Sun-Moon Lizard

Current Rank: 0

Current Potential: Rank 3

True Potential: Rank 9

Status: Incomplete Evolution

Issue:• Evolution imbalance between Solar and Lunar attributes.

• Requires Moon Essence to stabilize bloodline.

Future Evolution Paths:

• Eclipse Drake (Rank 10)

• Twilight Drake (Rank 10)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

' It's not mutation, but rather incomplete Evolution' Jaden thought as he looked at the beast.
