Chapter 6 Don’t Touch My Tail! [Edited]

?Shaman tossed and turned around in bed unable to sleep as the dream plagued her.

'Now I can't sleep and I don't even know when it will be morning. I would rather not go out at night, that's just asking to get kidnapped.' Shaman looked towards her window while touching a crystal to her side turning on a lamp that was by the bedhead.

'Well, at least I can see.' Shaman got out of bed and saw her reflection in the window, revealing her messy hair.

With not much to do Shaman moved her tail in front of her and patted it.

'Still soft as ever, I could touch it till the end of time and still not get bored.' While patting her tail she noticed the tip was black. Shaman then looked at her reflection and spotted that her ears had black tips as well.

'I wonder if it means anything in this world.' Shaman still unsure about many things wondered if the colour of her tail meant anything.

Shaman continued to pat herself and remembered that she got a box from the quest. Opening her inventory, Shaman pulled out the [intermediate box] and opened it up.

[Please select an accessory]

[ring]

[bracelet]

[bow tie]

[gloves]

[...]

'Looks like items are a thing, most likely giving some sort of stat boost. It also says intermediate so let's hope this accessory will last me a while.' Shaman hoped that the loot would be something she could hold onto for a while as it was a dangerous situation.

'Seeing as the system was able to see how dangerous it was, the rewards must scale depending on how difficult it is, which is pretty standard for a levelling system.' Shaman nodded to herself proud that she was able to apply things from her world to this one.

Shaman then went ahead and scrolled through the options to see if anything stuck out to her.

'I might go with a necklace since it's easy to hide and should not interfere with fighting and plus it should look pretty right?' Shaman was unsure if she was making a good decision as she wasn't able to see what kind of stats she will receive.

[Necklace of haste (Tier 2)]

[Rarity: uncommon]

[Agility +5]

[Dexterity + 3]

A silver necklace appeared around Shaman's neck with a small silver wing charm on it. Just like her sword, it appeared out of nowhere from a blue light. Shaman examined the necklace around her neck and was impressed by the quality.

"It's so prettyyy!" Shaman moved around and can already feel the effects of the necklace as her stats were still low making any increase feel noticeable. Shaman also felt relief that it was;t just for looks and provided some benefit.

'Although magic exists, I am getting excited by a necklace.' Shaman chuckled a little as she felt that despite all the other things she was yet to discover a necklace had her excited.

Getting over the excitement Shaman let herself fall back onto her bed and opened her inventory to check on the wolf egg.

[Wolf egg]

[Time till hatch: 7:32:58]

'At least I know it will be morning soon since I did get the egg around midday. I should probably see if there is any food here.' Shaman realised she had not eaten all day and felt the hunger coming

*rumble~*

"Ugh" 'I should go eat, If the memory serves me correct then there is some in the apartment apparently already.' Shaman found what seemed to be canned food but notices a formation on the bottom of the can.

'Do I just put my mana through it?' Shaman first thought was that of a magic circle that looked similar to the ones she had seen in anime or manga.

Assuming it was a magic circle, Shaman concentrated and tried to push her mana to her hand. Her attempt was successful and the can she was holding warmed up instantly.

'!!!!!' Shaman's eyes widen from the phenomenon and was already wishing this was possible in her world.

'Has the literal dream for instant noodles become a reality and I don't need to sit and wait for 2 minutes just for some noodles.' Shaman quickly pulled the top of the can off and the aroma of noodles filled her nose.

"IT'S ACTUALLY 2 MINUTE NOODLES BUT NOW ITS 1 SECOND NOODLES!!!!" The dream of getting instant noodles as advertised had become true.

Shaman grabbed some chopsticks from a drawer and started digging into the noodles.

"oh mgy gawd it tashtes soh gawwd." Shaman quickly ate the noodles down leaving with a satisfied expression.

'Oh the convenience of this world where were you back home'

*

Shaman cleaned up and decided to go for a morning bath before heading out again to turn in her crystal for some money.

'I wonder if this apartment was set up by parents in this world or did I buy everything, the memory is still hazy as to why I live here.' Shaman scratched her head trying to figure out her current circumstance and how it came to be.

'Better save some money, don't want any money stealing landlords rocking up ruining my base of operations.' Shaman finished her bath and got into the same clothes as yesterday, to her amazement they also had instant washing as well through the use of magic formations.

'This world is just too amazing, I hope I can learn this knowledge and be able to apply it back at home.' Shaman exited the laundry room noticing the sun had finally risen.

Exiting her apartment Shaman left feeling a bit more confident and hoped to make a bit more progress in levelling after turning in the profits.

While heading to the guildhall Shaman decided to go find where she should shop for daily necessities and to buy food. Taking a small detour shaman found a shopping district filled with stores and stalls. Picking up a few canned instant noodles since Shaman did not know how to cook ended up spending about 40 copper coins.

Throwing the cans in her inventory Shaman continued making her way to the adventurers guild.

*

Upon reaching the guild house she quickly used some bag she picked up from the food court and put the monster crystals in it as she was unsure if spatial storage was rare or even a thing that existed.

She entered the guild house and saw a separate counter exchanging their crystals for some coins. This had a line and so she got behind what looked like a half-lizard.

After waiting for a while the guy behind her thought it was a great idea to touch her tail.

"EEEKK!" Shaman shrieked from the sudden touch as she was not expecting it and her tail was rather sensitive. Shaman turned around quickly and slapped the guy sending him to a pillar and knocking him out.

"Oh, sorry" Shaman looked around nervously as she just attracted a lot of the stares.

The guy behind the perpetrator yells "It was the guy's fault he touched her tail and got a slap back in return." The comment had made the people near the area chuckle as they thought it was well deserved, however, it did not last long and people continued with their business ignoring the passed-out man.

"Thank you." Shaman turned to the man and bowed slightly to him. Shaman also noticed that they are also a beast-man and was thankful for their support.

"Ah no problem, it wasn't your fault."

She nods to the man and turned back around waiting for her turn.

More time passed and it was finally her turn. Shaman presented the bag full of wolf beast cores.

"Oh, a tier 1 leader and I believe you're new to adventuring. I heard a cute fox girl came by yesterday to sign up." The reception lady spoke in a rather flirtatious tone. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

"Yes I ended up running into a pack of wolves and managed to kill most of them." trying to hide her blush, her tail betrayed her and it began to wag.

The lady smirked and calculated the number of coins she was getting, shortly after she pulled out a pouch of coins and handed it to Shaman. Shaman made sure to not put the coins in her inventory right away so as to not raise any suspicion

"That is 50 silver coins and 60 copper coins excluding the 20% tax from the guild, also since you killed a tier 1 leader your rank will be upgraded to E and you will be able to take quest from the board over to your right." The lady seeming manipulated a core she had in front of her seemingly changing Shaman's rank.

"Sweet, thank you very much." Shaman was happy to hear that she was already rising the ranks, but assumed that the F rank was just to filter people out who are yet to contribute anything to the guild.

Waving the lady goodbye, Shaman decided to head off and explore the city a little before the egg hatched since she still had a lot of time to kill and didn't want to be out in the forest when it hatches.

*

Returning back to the food court she realised that the wolf would need to eat, so she picked up some raw meat for the wolf hoping that it would be okay for it to eat.

Shaman checked around different shops and got more familiar with the area.

*

After exploring almost every corner of the city Shaman quickly checked the time before the egg hatches.

[Time until hatch: 28:32]

'I should head back now and get ready for this little cutie to hatch.' Shaman jogged her way back with a smile. Entering her apartment, she made sure to lock the door behind her.

Shaman grabbed a small blanket and pulled out the egg, putting it on top of the blanket.

Shaman sat across from the egg and patiently waited for the egg to crack.

'I wonder what colour it will be, It would be cool if it was opposite to me with black fur with white tips.' Shaman swayed back and forth thinking of the different possibilities of what the small wolf would look like.

*Crack*
