Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith



Lyrian appeared in front of the three ostriches, immediately causing them to all suddenly perk up and be on guard.

As he approached them, only about 50 feet away, Leon and Alten stayed behind slightly.

They closed their eyes, focusing on coating their own souls with mana.

The ostriches stayed stagnant, not moving at all at the imminent threat approaching them.

Seeing as only one human with a power level that seemed defeatable was coming after them, they didn't see it necessary to escape, so they stood their ground, getting ready to pounce at their victim.

After a while, Leon and Alten disappeared into the bushes, nearing the ostriches from the shadows where they couldn't be easily spotted.

Lyrian on the other hand made almost direct contact with the ostriches, being only 10 feet away before the three quickly dashed towards him, ready to bite his head off or trample him down with their giant claws.

As one got near him, it swung its razor-sharp claws at Lyrian, as he quickly stepped to the side and managed to avoid it.

Still, the attack was only inches away from hitting him, and if it had, it would have undoubtedly been lethal, with such claws capable of disemboweling or killing a person with a single blow.

With this in mind, Lyrian made sure to not underestimate the power of these beasts in the forbidden area.

Still, he needed to complete his goal, which was to tame one of the beasts.

After side-stepping, he ran around to the back of the middle ostrich and jumped up on its back, grabbing onto its long neck for balance.

It immediately began to dance around frivolously, swinging its body and neck in order to throw Lyrian off, but he wasn't going to give up so easily.

"You're mine bird!" He yelled, his adrenaline pumping as he carefully avoided every dangerous situation that the ostrich put him in.

The other ostriches tried to attack as well, but with Lyrian behind atop one of their own kin, it was almost impossible to land a shot without hurting the ostrich.

As this chaos continued, Alten and Leon both jumped out of the bush, Leon instantly making his way to an ostrich as he placed his hand on its torso.

Immediately, the ostrich turned to face him but didn't attack. Its eyes changed to a different, pinkish color, looking to be mesmerized by the human in front of it.

Leon focused on finding and coating the ostrich's soul with the same amount of mana that coated his, and surprisingly, it worked very efficiently.

In just a few moments, the ostrich knelt down, allowing Leon to climb on top as its friend.

Alten had a similarly easy experience, being able to make his own ostrich tamer as well.

"That was... almost too easy," He confusedly said as he climbed atop the ostrich.

"I think you were just over-hyping the difficulty of it, no?" Lyrian yelled from his ostrich, which was still rampaging around in circles trying to get him off.

"Definitely not, It was harder to tame a dog or a mouse than to tame this giant creature. I was 101% expecting a failure." Alten said, seemingly not fully content with the tame.

"Yea, this should have been impossible. But, I'm not going to complain." Leon agreed.

With this, Alten suddenly smiled brightly, "I actually didn't think I'd be able to do it! Whohoo!" He yelled, raising his hand in the air as he relished in victory.

Lyrian on the other hand wasn't so victorious at the moment.

"Just hurry up and tame! Don't you understand? I need you to pass this exam, so why not just let me ride on top of you for a short while!?" Lyrian yelled, trying to reason with the creature.

"KRAA!!" The ostrich aggressively screeched back in reply.

"Fine, I didn't want to use force, but you give me no other choice," Lyrian said before suddenly sliding from the back of the ostrich to under its neck, only holding on due to his hands being wrapped around the beast's neck.

With this, he swung his body backward, unbaling the body of the ostrich, causing it to summersault onto the ground face first.

Now on the ground, Lyrian wrestled the bird down, holding its neck down to the ground as he jumped left and right to avoid the claws.

Finally, with another few solid pushes, the bird stopped acting frantically and gave up.

Seeing this, Lyrian got off of it and backed off slightly, allowing it to get back up to its feet.

After standing, it paused for a moment, along with Lyrian who did the same before suddenly... it quickly turned and made a run for it.

"As expected," Lyrian said with an annoyed expression as he grabbed one of the bird's legs, causing it to trip and fall on its face once again.

"Puhahaha!" Alten suddenly broke out into laughter.

Leon also couldn't help but smile.

As the bird stood for the second time, it looked to have tears coming out of its eyes, but it finally let Lyrian ride it.

"Trust me, if I could have it my way, I wouldn't want to ride you either, but just deal with this for this a little and you can go back to doing whatever you want," Lyrian said as Alten continued to laugh his ass off.

"Ah ha! The first group to tame the Rock Ostriches!" An examiner spoke, looking at Lyrian and the others through his crystal ball.

"They are ahead of everyone else, as expected, that black sheep is performing well." Another chimed in.
