Tamer of Cosmic Beasts

[ Teleporting to the Planet Earth in 10, 9, 8… ]

Akash was startled while looking at the screen.

"Wait, there is still so much that I want to ask."

The Turtle smiled and said.

"Everything will be revealed in time. The system will make you the strongest being and the more industrious you will be, the more powerful you will become."

Akash's eyes were filled with tears as except for his parents and his few friends, no one really loved him. Because he wasn't a strong tamer they respected him merely as a formality due to him being in charge of the House of Knowledge. Now, he somehow felt the same love from the Turtle in such a short time and didn't want to say goodbye so soon.

As they were talking the system was also counting.

[ 5, 4, 3… ]

"Oh, and don't be afraid of death for it will benefit your cultivation."

Akash asked in worry.

"What do you mean by that, Ancestor?"

[ 1 ] *beep*.

All of a sudden, a flash of light overlapped Akash Tagar's eyes, and he lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a city where the buildings were destroyed as if there had been a war.

[ The king has arrived at the Abran city of Planet Earth. ]

Akash was not a child unlike his appearance, he understood his position as Ancestor Turtle's successor and didn't wonder why the system called him "The King". Akash looked at the screen and asked.

"System, is this the city in which I will start my new life?"

[ Yes! Abran is the weakest city of this cosmos at this moment. It's a 3rd tier city. ]

"Oh, The weakest city of the weakest planet of the weakest cosmos, haha interesting. By the way, am I allowed to select the city for the force I have to build?"

[ The creator of this system has planned everything for the host and this includes the city. The host has to rise from the lowest to the highest position. ]

Akash looked at the sky with the eyes filled with flames of excitement and said in his mind.

"Thank you Ancestor for giving me another chance. I will definitely erase the enemies of both of us, one by one"

*beep*

[ The host is weak right now and will die easily if he is engaged in a fight. ]

System replied.

"Hmm, so you can also read my thoughts?"

Akash said in a questionable way

[ Yes, the system is connected with the host's soul. ]

Akash sighed and murmured

"That's an unnecessary feature"

System [ ... ]

"So what should I do now?"

[ The host has to go to the inner part of the city to find more information about this city and its residents. ]

Akash didn't reply and just walked on the main road.

After an hour of walking, he finally saw a city that looked completely different from where he was transmigrated. Above the gates on the walls was the name of the city "ABRAN" written on a big wooden plate.

As he walked into the city, he saw a few guards at the gate.

"Halt, show your identity!"

A middle-aged man with a guard uniform yelled as Akash came closer.

"Hello sir, I want to enter the city."

"Who are you? I have never seen you in Abran before."

"Oh, I'm from another city and came here to register myself as a tamer."

Akash replied with a straight face. Akash was not talented but because of this, he spent his entire time reading books, scrolls. Thus, as a result, he obtained an enormous amount of knowledge which gave him the title of Sage Scholar on Fairy Planet. He knew that there were several competitions and leagues for different stages of cultivations but before joining any of them, one must register themselves in a city and get a profile that will show which city the tamer is representing.

A middle-aged man looked behind to his fellows with a confused face

"Did you all hear the same thing?"

They all nodded with a perplexed look

"Do you want to register yourself as an Abran City's Tamer?"

"Yeah! Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Ha-ha-ha no-no, young man, I was just asking. Come here, I will take you to the registration office. No... I will take you directly to the mayor of this city for your registration!"

"Ehh! Mayor?"

Akash understood that something fishy was going on. A mayor is the symbol of the strength of a city regardless of its tier. They're selected from the strongest tamers of that city and this guard is taking me to the mayor directly. First of all, how could a mere guard be able to contact the mayor of the city directly?

"What's the wrong, young man?"

The guard asked.

"Nothing sir, lead the way, I will follow you."

"Alright."

As they entered the city, Akash saw many small buildings and the population was surprisingly low. Even when compared to other 3rd tier cities the population was low by a large margin.

Soon, they reached the mayor's building which was only of moderate size. Even the destroyed buildings at his teleportation site, which were the outskirts of the city, were bigger than this.

"Wait here, I will tell the mayor about you."

The guard went in as he said that.

Soon, a grey-haired man came out together with the guard. With a single glance, Akash grasped that this man was not a weak person. He was at the 2nd Moon of the Star Captain stage.

"Is this the young man you were talking about?"

The grey-haired man asked the guard. Akash understood that he was the Mayor.

The guard nodded respectfully.

"What a handsome youth! What is your name young man?"

"Hello, sir mayor, I'm Akash Tagar. Pleased to meet you."

"You are very humble and well mannered. I'm the mayor of this city. My name is Haji Tea although I'm often The Smoking Spear as well. I heard you want to get registered as a tamer of this city. Is that true?"

Akash nodded.

"Come to my office, Akash."

The three of them went inside the office of the mayor and sat on chairs.

"Me Akash, let me tell you something first."

The Mayor began as he looked at Akash who noticed that, at the same time, the guard lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

"Our city was once a 1st tier city of this province but because of a gigantic Beasts Raid, 4/5 of the city was destroyed. As a result, all the talented Tamers of this city either died or left the city. Then after all these years passed, our city turned into a 3rd tier city. Our total population is only a hundred thousand. All the big families left our city and there aren't any geniuses left in Abran. Those who were born with talent, left this city to join a bigger and more prosperous one where they could shine quicker and brighter."

Akash finally understood why those abandoned destroyed buildings were so big and roads were so well built.

The entire time Akash's face was expressionless. It was an essential part of his mission to get registered in this city. Akash was buckled down to Haji Tea.

"Do you still want to register yourself in this city? Once you register yourself here, you cannot represent or join any other city, unless you reach the realm of Star Knight or pay a huge ransom."

Haji Tea told Akash.

Akash smiled and looked at Haji Tea.

"Yes sir, I still want to register here."

The doubtful face of Haji Tea turned into a red jolly face as if his face was about to burst.

"Thank you, Akash. I will support you with everything I have. I knew I'm not the only one who had big ambitions."

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

Akash asked.

The Guard who was as happy as the mayor said.

"Mr Haji Tea is from a 1st tier city. He was one of the geniuses of his generation in that city and when he reached the Star Knight stage, he willingly volunteered himself to become the mayor here. He wants to raise the position of Abran city from the 3rd tier to its previous glory as a 1st tier city."

Akash looked at Haji Tea who was still smiling from ear to ear. A feeling of relief fell on his heart. Akash grinned similarly as he too thought that he found had finally found the first companion of his force and a strong one as well.

"Then, I will be in your care."

Akash said.

All of a sudden, Haji Tea stood up and looked at Akash Tagar.

"Aahhhh! I'm so sorry Akash, I forgot to ask about your cosmic cultivation level for the registration. Can you please tell me your stage so that I can complete the paperwork right away?"

This question startled Akash because he couldn't feel even the slightest bit of cosmic power in his body, but then he remembered that Ancestor Turtled took all of his power when it used ABSOLUTE REWIND on him.

The system read the thoughts of Akash Tagar.

*beep*

[ The king must first own a piece of land where the system can use its power. Then, it will become the headquarters of the force the host will build to conquer the cosmos. All the powers that the host had before have been taken away and replaced with the powers of the system's creator. After building the headquarters, the host will automatically breakthrough to the Star 1 realm.

The 1st level of the headquarters will occupy 100 square feet of land and a hundred thousand cosmic coins. ]

"What?"

That was the only word that came out of Akash's mind.

*beep*

[ Does the king want the system to explain again ]

"No no, that's fine. It seems the mind-reading feature was really necessary"

System: [ ... ]

Akash looked at Haji Tea

"Sorry Mr Haji, I was lost in my thoughts for a moment and I'm at the Star 1 stage."

Haji Tea looked at Akash with astonishing eyes.

"How old are you?"

"15 years old" Akash replied.

The shock grew, even more, it seemed as if Haji Tea's eyes will pop out.

"15 years and you are already at Star 1 stage. If you are not genius then who else can be?"

On Earth, most human only reach the Star 1 stage after becoming 18 years old. Before that, they focus on opening their 7 channels.

Those who open all 7 channels before the age of 18 and breakthrough to the Star 1 realm are geniuses and those who breakthrough to Star 1 at the age of 15 years will rule this planet or at the very least big organizations.

Akash gave a bitter smile and asked in a low voice.

"Umm sir, I am in a need of something."

Haji Tea replied instantly.

"Yes, sure! Anything within this city's jurisdiction and my power is yours."

Akash shakes his head and said.

"Thank you, Haji, but I only need a hundred thousand coins and a 100 square feet piece of land in this city."
