In the sky above this land, Thousands of miles above, once stood the Divine kingdom of Lord Mayos but what laid there now was flames and ruins that rained down from the sky.
Looking up from the city of Mirrors, it looked like the sky was on fire as blood rained from above.
Panic set in as flaming rocks began raining down on them as well, the People cried out to their God, Mayos, some to Ragol, a few prayed to the God of travel to save them, shield them from this catastrophe. But no answer came even when the first Rock hit the Earth.
BOOOOM!!!!!
An explosion rang out as the first stone hit the floor, the force and impact set other chain of events in motion, screams and wailing could be heard everywhere as the citizens of Cullbeg tried to escape in different directions.
Swoosh!!!
Bolten appeared like a storm as he stared in Horror at the sight before him. "How could this be?".
"A neutral God has fallen" Droll said with a rare seriousness, it was unknown when he had appeared.
"You two are the last people who should be appearing there, leave quickly" Horjen's voice could be heard in their mind, startling them for a second before they relaxed. The moment they understood her words and disappeared without asking questions, after all, Goddess of mystery had never failed in her advices.
Both parties disappeared just as they came but someone had seen them, He stared at where they had been with gritted teeth before leaving as well. No one cared about the people below, and so ushered in the history that Alex had come to know as the city of broken mirrors in the Novel.
_______________________________
The Blood rain continued till the next morning and the ground was now painted red. Alex looked at the Villagers taking cover from one place to another while going about their work.
Goblins could be seen with wide leafs above their head as they shuttled from one place to another, making it comical.
The Breeding house was finally completed, Alex walked towards it with a straight face as he didn't even want to imagine himself wearing a green Leaf on his head.
"Greet Chief"
"Chief!"
Different salutes could be heard as he nodded his head in response. "Leave me first"
The others quickly left with some making, "oh!" or "kikikk" sounds. Alex looked at the Breeding house with a nod before saying, "Do you find this appropriate for the use?".
The Breeding house gave out a warehouse vibe with how spacious it was, there was a separate room at the opposite side from the door.
[Scanning....]
A kind of sonar echo out of his body and escaped to his surrounding before coming back, it repeated twice just like the other times so Alex was pretty much used to it.
[Scanning complete]
[Contain basic requirements]
[Eligibility: 100%]
[Proceed with the necessary Alteration...]
The building began shaking but Alex was unmoved, their were different cracking sounds and space seemed to shift minutely.
[Please provide the Base Creature for Breeding]
[First Breeding would be done for free]
[The Necessary materials would be stated along with each after first Use.]
After a series of Notification, the system went silent once more. Alex could only sigh, the system had refused to answer any of his questions and seemed to always want to conserve it's energy to speak, only appearing when important messages come up. This made him believe that it's either incomplete, damaged or as some systems would say, I don't have enough rights to know but only time would tell. But right now all Alex wants to do was to hasten the pace of his plans.
He decided that the first attack should be during the Purple Moon in 4 days because of the exp boost. He looked at the blue colored card in his hand with focus as he prayed for the mount to be something useful.
Plak!!
He crushed the card as Mana around seemed to surge viscously in circles just in front him, He could barely open his eyes as he shielded them with his hands.
A terrifying howl rang out soon after as a Wolf almost twice the size of a normal dire wolf. it was 8 feet long and looked like it weighed 600 pounds, it was as tall as a human male, long tusked jaws that look like they could snap an iron bar. it had a whitish black fur with goldish brown eyes that inspected it's surrounding with caution.
It stood there looking a bit confused for a second before turning towards Alex, whitish smoke seemed to escape it's mouth as he sized Alex up.
Alex put his palm in front of him and stood there as he studied this fascinating beast.
[Rare signature mount summon complete...]
[Summoned Alpha Ghost wolf]
That was all the information the system said, no further explanation like where it came from or the like. It looked at Alex for a while before approaching him with what Alex felt were hesitant steps, before it placed it's forehead gently on Alex's stretched out palm. not long after their skin touched and he stroked it's fur a little, it ran backwards in a playful manner, it's tail swooshing left and right furiously.

_______________________
Alex was satisfied with this, if he could get a raid team with this skills, He couldn't help laughing loudly,, "Hahahaha".
Then he remembered if he this mount in the Breeding house, the others would come with only 60-70% of the original, he couldn't help being somewhat disappointed,
'but this is good too'
With that thought, He selected his mount and found he could only breed twenty with this free first use, he could only laugh wryly.
[Ding!]
[Choice confirmed]
[Time of completion, 66 hours]
The lively wolf seemed to be in some kind of Stasis as it's body drifted slowly into the inner chamber of the Breeding house.
Alex looked at the wolf while scratching his beard before looking at the timer, "that's a day and 26 hours...hmm".
"Might as well spend this system points...Hmm?" He opened the lottery tab and found it was grey, this was the first opening the tab since it was unlocked so he was somewhat surprised.
"Is there a particular reason for this?" He asked the system.
[you are short of 300 system points, You need 1500 system points to use the available lottery]
Alex complained as he looked at the Dice in front of him, "isn't that too expensive for something that has to do with chance?"
[that is because of the 100% guarantee that you would be getting something]
For some reason, Alex still found it shady "...."
Without saying anything further, He left the Breeding house.
