The Seven Throne

Change of Dagger

A pair of golden eyes, fangs like the sharpness of a sword.

His voice filled with hatred and anger. Have Intelligence that equals humans.

"I just want to talk. Why are you chasing us?"

Terrible way of speaking, each word carries indescribable pressure.

[The first condition is fulfilled, 'Understanding wild animals']

A mysterious voice echoed in my mind. Not stopping, he continued.

[Take off the shape temporarily. Restore the original form]

The dagger in my left hand shone brightly, frightening the Shadow Wolf.

The bar melts with another shape, the silver color becoming brighter evolve to the gold. A golden dragon-shaped dagger!

[The second condition is fulfilled, 'Approaching 100 wild animals.' Taming Skills acquired]

[Do you want to use it?]

Yes, if it can save me from this situation.

[Due to missing parts, the effectiveness of Taming skill decreases by 20%]

Missing piece?

Without warning, a terrible pressure was released by my dagger. Far beyond the leader of Shadow Wolf, the pressure even dropped all Shadow Wolf except the leader.

An angry roar echoed throughout the forest! Birds fly away, every other animal feels very anxious.

This forest was entirely the territory of the Shadow Wolf group, everyone understood with certainty the consequences of this group's anger, m******e!

The Shadow Wolf leader tried to approach me with difficulty, his fangs displayed very sharp and dangerous. He howled, then a number of black nails came out of the ground toward me.

[Shadow Wolf Leader successfully tamed, give a name]

Uh, thankfully it worked. That's right, a name. How about 'Fenrir'?

[Name approved, Fenrir has become your familiar]

[Due to the basic rules of the Shadow Wolf species, 100 Shadow Wolf have been successfully tamed]

Huh?

[Taming skill Level Up]

[Taming skill Level Up]

[Taming skill Level Up]

[Taming skill Level Up]

[Skill Taming reaches Level 5]

Th-that ... I don't even know how to react.

Everything comes at once without having time to think about it. First, what exactly is my dagger? If Fenrir had previously called it a treasure, then it must have been very valuable. Then how can a memoryless person like me have it?

Thoughts like this continue to spin in my mind. All of these things just add mystery to me. However, I'm glad to be saved, thanks to this strange dagger.

Ok, let's put this aside. Now I can't go back to the village like this. There must be chaos at this rate.

After taming, Fenrir spoke more softly.

Wait– maybe I heard something weird. No, maybe it's just my feeling. How could he be a female?

Fenrir asked worriedly,

Noooooo! His voice is indeed like a girl! I paid less attention before because she spoke in a deep voice. But when she spoke softly, it becomes clear.

"Wait, don't tell me that you're a female?"

I knew it! How can a female be the leader of a group!? And again, isn't that cheating to hide in the shadows? How far are they really capable! No, even the golden dragon's dagger was more frightening to be able to conquer a creature like that, and this was still not at its full strength.

Ugh, crazy things happening to me like that are normal. Seriously, I'm starting to worry about my own future. But maybe I can find out the truth about myself through this information about the dagger.

...

In the village, information spread quickly. The village head immediately sent a request to the kingdom to send an army of exterminators. Only four survivors were confirmed. Alfred's family was grieving, because his body was deep in the forest, the bodies of the three could not be buried properly. Sadness and terror haunt the village, none of them can sleep well at night.

...

The holy royal city of Alvion, the head of the guild office.

"Um, this is a pretty difficult request. Even though His Majesty has handed this request to us, I doubt anyone would accept this quest."

A middle-aged man sitting in a room lit by a dim candle. The door opened, a woman with black hair carried a pile of documents with her.

"Guild Master, I brought documents about the Shadow Wolf that you requested and a list of the best Rank B adventurers and above in this kingdom."

"Immediately send special requests to them. Tell all the adventurers in this city to prepare and help the elite. They will leave in two days."

"Understood"

The woman immediately left the door. In the dark of the night, the head of the guild looked at the moonlight through the window.

"My old friend Alfred, I hope you rest in peace. We will soon avenge for you"

Unrevealed to others, the actual Guild Master has a good relationship with Alfred. Although their ages are very different, there is no difficulty in getting along between them.

When the Guild Master was young, he was an enthusiastic and adventurous man. In the end, he gained a lot of direct experience from his adventures. At that time he was still a young man who was inexperienced and careless. But his enthusiasm in adventure and learning new things never diminished.

One day, he almost died while hunting in the forest. His face covered in blood from a leaky head, weak feet from fractures, and fading awareness due to enduring extreme pain. All caused by a mutated Furry Boar that has a power far greater than normal size. 

Luckily he met with Alfred and his group who were hunting in the forest. Coincidentally, Alfred brought a wooden torch which produced a lot of smoke when burned. The resulting smoke disrupts the smell of Furry Boar which incidentally relies more on smell after sight. Although they failed to kill the mutated Furry Boar, they managed to escape and save the dying young man. 

After being treated by Alfred's family for three months, he managed to recover and get important lessons from the Alfred family about hunting and how to survive in the forest. 

Their lives are filled with laughter every day. Without them knowing, they have become close friends despite having a far different age.
