Chapter 153: Formation Of Familia: Naming [1]

"But…"

"How am I going to do that?"

"…"

Shin grinned after hearing that.

"Why don't you join me?", he directly asked her that.

"Eh?"

Now that came out of nowhere.

Of course, he wanted her to join him but asking her that all of a sudden while trying to show that they had the same cause seemed a bit too weird.

"Join you?", the witch asked.

"Yes."

"…"

"You mean to say that the humans are your enemies?", she asked.

Shin didn't reply immediately because he wanted to think about this carefully.

He was a human and obviously he wouldn't look at them as enemies as long as he remains a human from the heart.

But yes, he had hated humans since the start. He could even recall the moment when he was chased by the humans as soon as he was born.

However, he still didn't consider them as his enemies.

He looked at the witch and said, "I am a predator."

That's all he said to win her favor.

'I am a predator?'

'Does that mean…', the witch had tons of questions in her mind.

But after hearing him say that, she understood what he actually meant.

It was as if he was saying – 'Any who oppose me shall be my prey.'

This gave her chills and while looking at his glowing green eyes, she trembled a bit because the eyes had no emotions.

"The humans have already troubled some of my friends…"

"Do you think I will let them do as they please after disturbing us?", he added.

*gulp*

But the witch was old and wise, so she wouldn't just join due to such half-assed reasoning.

"No…"

"I want you to tell me clearly…"

"What do you intend to do?"

"What is your aim? What is your goal?", she asked.

Alira and Terran weren't speaking anything and were just listening to their conversation keenly because they too wanted to know about it.

Of course, Terran somewhat knew about what Shin wanted, but at the moment he wanted to know more and the very exact reason for choosing that path after all, other than things related to Aella, Shin had revealed nothing to Terran.

"Well…"

"When I came to this world…"

"I promised myself to be the number 1 predator."

"I don't care if it is a human, elf, or anyone else…"

"If they cause trouble or hurt my family members…"

"I'll just brand them as my prey." – he replied.

When they heard this, a sense of fear engulfed them. It was a scary side that the witch saw and that was the same with Terran and Alira.

*gulp*

'Doesn't that just mean that he is a double-edged sword?'

'Won't he kill me too?'

Yes, the witch started to think that, and Terran got a similar thought, but then again, he knew how much Shin cared for his own family members or friends.

"I just want a place that I can call home."

"I want to build a kingdom where every monster can live in peace.", was what Shin said after generating fear.

"…"

Silence lingered in the air after he said that. All of them were now thinking about what Shin said.

While the witch got the thought that it was wise not to join Shin, Alira looked towards the witch and said, "Master is a good person…"

"He isn't someone bad…"

"He told me that he was my friend."

The witch did feel Shin's sincerity in protecting his family and friends.

"Sigh, fine then…"

"I will join you."

She said that right after Alira tried to side Shin.

"Yes!"

"We have another member!", was what Shin said with a loud voice.

Terran and Alira, both smiled since their team grew a bit more.

"But I can't leave right now…", was what the witch said.

"Oh ya, you were waiting for someone right?", Shin asked.

"Yes…", the witch's eyes sparkled when she said that.

"…"

"You don't have to wait here…"

"You can actually come with us, aunt.", was what Terran said.

"Eh?", when she heard this, her ears tingled all of a sudden.

"Wha-"

She directed her gaze towards Terran when he said that.

"Aunt?"

"You just called me…"

"Aunt?", she was really surprised by this.

"Haha, yes aunt…"

"Forgive me for not recognizing you…", was what Terran said.

"You are-", she still didn't know who it was until he revealed it himself.

"Don't you remember your own brat?", Terran smiled while saying that.

"Eh?"

"Brat…?"

"Is that really you?", she was surprised when she asked that.

"Wah-", some new relationship was built all of a sudden which seemed fascinating to Shin.

"Yes, it's me…", Terran said with a smile.

The witch ran towards him in the same half wolf and half tiger form and jumped at Terran.

"I missed you!"

"Where had you been?", and like this, the talk started.

Terran revealed everything that had happened and the witch, being no fool, understood everything one by one.

Another hour passed like this in just chatter and backstory.

"Thank you so much master for helping him…", she said with teary eyes.

The witch had started to trust Shin now, at least she trusted more than before after hearing Terran say everything.

"I don't know about revenge…"

"But now I really wish to follow you.", was what she said with a smile.

Although Shin might not know to make others respect him genuinely, his own help and kindness found the way to make others respect him.

"Good to hear that…"

"Welcome to the family, Kaily.", Shin said with a brightened face.

"Haha, thanks…"

"Uh…"

"Thanks, master.", she was thinking about what to call when she realized that Alira and Terran had been calling him master.

Kaily wasn't her real name, it was just a nickname that she had received and many had been calling that.

When Shin called that with the intention that she joined the family, it became a given name and the previous name vanished.

'Ding'

[ You have named a new beast ]

[ You have a new vessel ]

The Fourth Vessel Of Shin

-> The fourth vessel of Ruler of the Swamps, Shin.

-> Provides 5% boost in all stats.

-> Gives a 30% boost in swampy areas.

-> Can use the skill 'Heal' when the HP drops to 8% to heal itself.

So Shin gained another vessel so quickly.

To make gain a vessel, does Shin only require to name?

Wouldn't that actually make him gain tons of vessels?

Actually no, naming wasn't the only thing that was required to make a vessel.

There was another important thing that was required which would be revealed soon to Shin when he would be put in a dilemma.

Whatever, after getting the notification, Shin showed almost no sign or any other expression because he had already seen those tons of times.

Of course, he was surprised by the fact that he named her.

"Ya…", Shin just nodded his head.

And as he accepted her entry to his family, a crest or a symbol got generated all of a sudden near Kaily's shoulder.

"Eh?"

She was surprised by that because she never expected something like that to appear.

She felt the change in name too at the same time when the crest appeared.

Of course, Terran too didn't expect a faint light that was being emitted from the wolf symbol that was on his forehead.

The cub, Alira, also had a similar symbol on the eye that was slashed – yes, on the right eye, the symbol had appeared.

All three of them started to glow with green light and soon the light subsided.

Neither Shin, nor anyone else had any idea about what had happened, but yes, one thing was sure, they felt a weird form of energy inside them and a strong connection with Shin.

'Ding'

[ You have found four members ]

[ Including yourself, you are 5 in number ]

[ You have met the requirement to form a Familia ]

'Ding'

[ Decide a name for your Familia - ]

"A familia?", Shin was surprised to see the new topic.

Of course, he had not once thought about naming his kingdom or family. The system questioned him at the right time before he could go on while making other mistakes.

"What should I name my familia?", he turned towards Terran and asked that.

The question was meant for others to answer too.

The name of the family was something that one should be proud of.

It would be a name that would spread throughout the world so they couldn't possibly have a half-ass name. Also, Shin thought that it was inappropriate to decide on his own.

"How about 'Predators'?", Terran suggested.

Shin looked at him with an awkward expression.

'From master's expression, I can clearly guess what he wants to say – "Are you really suggesting me that?" – I better think something else.', Terran bowed his head as if he was apologizing and started to think about some other name.

Shin was thinking hard on this too.

He didn't want to change the name later and wanted to choose a name that would be related to him.

'Shishir…'

'That word has 'Shi' from my name…'

'Also, that word actually means – Frost or Winter!'

Shin actually loved cold things as mentioned earlier so for him, this name seemed to be perfect.

"Why don't we name it as…"

"Shishir?", he asked.

Kaily and Terran looked at him while mumbling – "Shishir?"

Well, that name wasn't dominating at all and it didn't terrify anyone with its sound.

Rather, it was funny when pronounced, at least for them.

"Master…"

"That's a bit…"

Both Terran and Kaily were looking at Shin with weird eye expressions.

"…"

To be continued…
