During the past 2 weeks spent in the Nightmare Beast Ind, even as a lot of criminals died, others made names for themselves like Legs.


    The Nightmare Beast Ind was a dangerous ce that housed powerful monsters up to Grade D, most especially the alpha Nightmare Beasts.


    The reason why some of the criminals survived was that they lingered only in the periphery while the Grade D monsters lived at the heart of the ind.


    Apart from its danger, the Nightmare Beast Ind was home to a lot of treasures like the Nightmare fruit that Predator ate but the criminals were too busy worrying about their survival to care about treasures.


    After getting Lucky and Predator, with his boundless knowledge as a veteran Summoner, Legs started his journey of training his beasts.


    In just 2 weeks, he was able to level up Predator so much that despite being just 2 years old, he was now able to stand his ground against some of the strongest Grade F beasts on the ind.


    Apart from shing with beasts, Legs also shed with the other criminals and this was where he got his new nickname of Young Nightmare.


    He had a Nightmare Beast, he was young, and sincerely, his feats already struck terror in the hearts of other criminals which motivated his nickname.


    Having captured 8 criminals already, he was already recognized as one of the most dangerous criminals on the Ind. Now that he had a bit of a reputation, he finally decided to start implementing his n of escaping the ind.


    After he spoke with the criminal, a meeting was arranged and 30 minutester, he was seated before one of the Gang Leaders of the criminals on the ind.


    The powerful bald Grade F Pugilist was called bhead. He didn''t see it as an insult, he rather saw it as aplement for hisrge and extremely hard head.


    "Lord Young Nightmare".


    "Lord bhead".


    The Pugilist didn''t care that his guest was a kid. In the supers'' world, strength was all that mattered, it was the most respected thing.


    "My man told me that you had a n to escape the ind".


    "Yes". Legs smiled.


    "Tell me".


    Legs did not leave him hanging. He exined his train of thought to the criminal, and also exined the reason why he came to meet him.


    "Unlike you, I don''t know the other criminals well. I want you to serve as my middleman who will exin my ns to them andpel them to join".


    "What makes you think I''ll agree to your n?" bhead narrowed his eyes.


    "Because it is your better chance at survival". Legs smiled. "This is your 3rd time here, you survived your 1st and 2nd, but you and I know that nothing is set in stone. Just one encounter with a Grade D beast is all it takes for you to lose it all".


    The bald Pugilist took a deep breath. "I have to admit that your n is sound but it will not work".


    "There are 2 Grade E superhumans on the ind, they are the defacto leaders. Without their approval, nothing you say stands".


    Legs kept his smile. "I know, that is why I have another n".


    "Tell them that in 2 weeks, I will be a Grade E Summoner".


    "…" The Pugilist scratched his head. "What?"


    "Give me 2 weeks, I will be a Grade E Summoner then".


    Legs stood up the next moment without allowing bhead time to react. "I will fulfill my part of the n, make sure to fulfill yours".


    "W-wait…"


    Legs was gone before he could fully vocalize a word.


    bhead scratched his bald head again. "Bing a Grade E Summoner in 2 weeks?" He turned to face his man. "Is that kid drunk?"


    …


    After returning to his cave, Legs evaluated his options.


    His bold talk of bing a Grade E Summoner in 2 weeks was not said on a whim. Fulfilling it under such a time limit was hard but nowhere impossible. If he yed his cards right, he could achieve it.


    Another reason for his confidence was Lucky and Predator''s outrageous growth speed. Combining luck and infinite potential was really a messed-up cheat.


    He believed that both of them would get to the Grade E realm even faster than him, and this was a good thing since it would aid his escape.


    After making ns in his mind, he slept to rest for a few hours before waking up. Once he was up, the grind continued as they fought and killed beasts.


    Also, that day, he released the 8 criminals that he captured as a show of goodwill and his sincerity to bhead the Gang leader.


    As the days counted, Predator showed even more promise as he continued getting stronger and stronger. Being a Star Fox, though Lucky also grew, she didn''t get offensive abilities yet due to her bloodline limitation.


    Legs guessed that she would only be a fighter after maybe her first evolution that would awaken the primordial powers in her.


    As Legs trained with his pet and his contracted beast, in the blink of an eye, a week already passed and both Lucky and Predator did not disappoint his expectations. Both finally became Grade E beasts.

    Congrattions! Your first contracted beast Predator has be a Grade E Beast

    Predator is now a Grade E teenage Nightmare Beast


    Predator has received Bonuses


    -----


    To Legs''s surprise, after their grade level up, only Predator''s was smooth sailing. For some reason, Lucky''s evolution stalled as she was left in aa.


    For the next few days, he had to take care of theatose Lucky while still hunting and training with Predator. 2 days before the 2-week mark, Legs leveled up again to level 20 and finally received his notification.


    -----


    Congrattions! You now have enough strength to level up a grade


    Fulfill the Grade E Mission to level up.

    On seeing this, Legs clicked his tongue. "As expected, just like the game".
