Chapter One Hundred and One
As Emberflare nestled against his shoulder, Crow's sharp mind stirred with yet another memory from his past life.
"There was a secret SSS-rank pet egg. Hidden. Time-limited. Only one per server..."
His eyes narrowed.
"It appears in the secret shop at exactly Day 8, Hour 12. Only accessible through a specific sequence—visiting the abandoned beast altar in the Howling Ruins, then offering a fire-aligned pet."
He opened his inventory, glancing at Emberflare.
"Perfect."
Without delay, Crow used his teleportation array — created by Seloria — to arrive instantly at the Howling Ruins. It was quiet, decrepit, and filled with forgotten beast relics.
He approached the cracked altar. Flames danced around his hand as he placed Emberflare into the altar's center. It didn't hurt the pet—instead, Emberflare shimmered, accepted the offering, and vanished momentarily in a blaze of light.
A system window blinked to life.
[Hidden Beast Path Sequence Completed.]
[Secret Shop Unlocked – Duration: 5 Minutes]
Crow opened it immediately.
Among basic bait and junk, one item shined like a burning sun:
[Celestial Beast Egg – SSS Rank (Unique)]
Price: 100,000 Event Points
He bought it instantly.
The egg floated in front of him, a swirling core of cosmic energy, ice, fire, and thunder pulsing from within.
[Do you wish to hatch the Celestial Beast Egg?]
Crow clicked YES.
The sky cracked with thunder as the egg shattered, and a majestic creature emerged — a beast with six wings, four tails, and eyes of pure starlight.

Zephyra bowed its head before Crow, who smiled darkly.
"Another piece added to the board."
And the players hadn't even scratched the surface.
