He looked at the black card, feeling his whole body first go numb, then heat up.

How could this be possible...

No, it was still possible.

Ryan Clark remembered the supernatural phenomena that had happened to him.

This world really isn’t that simple after all.

Beastmaster?

That profession sounded pretty similar to an insect fighter.

He was very interested.

Because of his parents’ professions, he had always been fascinated by things involving animals, from insect fighting to paleontology...

“Is my awakened superpower related to this black card?”

“Judging from that poster’s situation, I’m not the only one who got a black card.”

“Looks like I’m not some chosen one after all.”

Then, Ryan Clark thought of that strange dream he’d had, and his expression froze. If there really were supernatural things in this world, could that have been a prophetic dream?

If what happened in the dream really came true, wouldn’t Blue Star be doomed?

Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up, but even those with abilities can’t possibly protect everyone in every situation.

Thinking of his tragic death in the dream, Ryan Clark fell silent. He was actually quite attached to this world.

“Let’s try contacting them first.”

Ryan Clark couldn’t be sure, so he continued to study the black card.

Tip ⑧: If you don’t use the rookie contract card within 24 hours, the contract card will automatically disappear, and the holder will also lose the qualification to become a beastmaster.

From the initial tips, Ryan Clark quickly understood that this so-called contract card could be given up—just don’t do the rookie mission.

“Giving up is impossible.” After a moment of silence, Ryan Clark put away the black card and glanced at the forum again.

At this point, having memorized all the tips, Ryan Clark wanted to add that poster as a friend to ask more questions.

These tips were important, but not enough! He needed more information!

Full of anticipation, Ryan Clark clicked the link again.

But in the next moment, Ryan Clark was dumbfounded.

“Where’s the post???” He kept tapping the screen.

Ryan Clark had just refreshed, and the post was gone.

The poster... who was it again? What was their name?

“The admin deleted the post. Who the hell deleted such an important post? Don’t tell me Lauren Bennett just reported it for fun.”

Standing on the street, Ryan Clark felt the air was especially chilly.

“Can’t waste time on this.” Soon, Ryan Clark changed his focus.

With only 24 hours, he had to do the mission as soon as possible. Still, he needed to keep an eye on the forum, just in case he missed any important information.

What he knew now was that after contracting a pet beast, he would be teleported to a dangerous place.

Fortunately, after going to that dangerous place, there was still a chance to return.

Having played some video games, Ryan Clark quickly connected the rookie mission and rookie trial mechanics in his mind.

“If I’m going to be sent to a dangerous place... then the animal I contract must have decent combat power!”

“Only then will I avoid ending up as miserable as that poster just now...”

Unfortunately, even though Ryan Clark really wanted to contract a fierce beast, in just one day, in a small city like this, finding a beast with real combat power was nothing but a pipe dream.

Even with telepathy, he didn’t actually get along with every animal.

Getting chased by stray dogs after chatting with them wasn’t a rare occurrence.

After analyzing, Ryan Clark finally made a decision.

“To be safe, I’ll choose it...”

With an idea in mind, Ryan Clark decided to head home first—his target was there.

His home wasn’t far from here, in a nearby upscale neighborhood, just a ten-minute bike ride away.

After thinking it over, Ryan Clark decided to contract an animal he was familiar with.

At least that guy would obey his commands 100%, which would eliminate the risk of a pet beast not listening in a dangerous place.

Ryan Clark quickened his pace.

Soon, Ryan Clark arrived at his front door.

He unlocked the door with his fingerprint, as usual, and opened it.

Whoosh!

As if sensing movement outside, a figure inside Ryan Clark’s home immediately darted out, pouncing at Ryan Clark as he entered.

“Woo...”

The creature, which looked very much like a wolf, pounced on Ryan Clark and immediately stuck out its tongue, panting as if expecting something.

This animal had a beautiful build, thick fur, upright ears, a brush-like tail, blue eyes, and three white marks on its forehead like three burning flames.

It was a Siberian Husky, commonly known as an “Erha”—the pet dog raised by Ryan Clark.

Because it had been raised by Ryan Clark since it was a pup, the husky had a great relationship with him, and after Ryan Clark’s training, it could perfectly follow his commands, with better execution than a police dog.

“Go, Mr. Harris, go stand in the corner for a bit.”

“Woof???”

The husky looked completely confused!

Though it didn’t understand, faced with Ryan Clark’s command, the husky still turned away resentfully—but it would remember this grudge!

As for Ryan Clark, as the husky stood imposingly in the corner, he sat down facing it, watching it intently.
