Chapter 14: Back to Terra: Introductions
Chapter 14: Back to Terra: Introductions
Frank walked inside of Ruby's room as he felt the intense heat cover his entire body, however, he was capable of bearing it with decency through his Fire and Burn Resistance Skill.
Frank did not want to waste any App Points he could get, as he felt that they were important for his future growth, quickly putting into the task of exercising as his daily quests asked him to do.
Frank did 30 Pushups, 30 Sit-Ups, 30 Squats, and ran 1KM by going in circles around the vast cave that was Ruby's room. It took him around an hour to finish everything, and the moment he did, he felt incredibly exhausted. The exhaustion became even bigger as he did everything in a chamber with an extremely high temperature.
Through his training, Ruby tried to adorably imitate his exercises, but she only did the running one kilometer correctly, and unlike him, she seemed in perfect condition even after having run for so long. Despite having little legs, she seemed rather fast.
After Frank caught his breath and went back to the white room, he decided to finally drink the two liters of water in a single go.
Satiating his enormous thirst, Frank glanced at the windows ahead of his sight.
[Daily Quests Completed!]
[You received the quest rewards: A Small Amount of EXP x2, and 5 App Points x2!]
"No levels ups, huh? Hm, now that my status has stabilized, I feel just as new? Wasn't I tired moment ago?" wondered Frank as he walked around, the tension and pain on his muscles after exercising was gone completely, but his mind seemed tired and fatigued, nonetheless.
"Grawl!"

Frank glanced at the adorable Ruby as he decided to take a nap on the couch of the Nursery, sleeping with Ruby above his stomach, she was quite heavy, but Frank was able to bear with her weight as he felt that after leveling up, his muscles and strength really seemed to have increased.
Frank slept in the Nursery as he did not want to waste much time by going back to Earth and making the time there go faster.
He planned in going back to Terra for a bit, at the very least until the day ended there.
However, after sleeping for three hours, Frank felt that his mind was fresh again.
Sitting on the couch, he suddenly began to think about what to do with Ruby… He just could not simply present her to Gwendolyn, Annabelle, and Cathyl as if nothing. And he also could not simply bring her to Earth, that would be way too out of the blue as well… perhaps monster tamers existed in Earth as there were monsters, but Matsuo and Harumi would quickly suspect that something was going on that he had not revealed by bringing a strong monster out of nowhere with himself.
He did not even know if monsters existed in the world of Terra either to begin with, to his knowledge, it was simply a world where people had farms.
Frank felt bad about leaving Ruby inside the Monster Pet Nursery completely alone, but he had to do it, at least until he could convince either Matsuo or Gwendolyn about how he found a monster egg around his house or in the forest, depending on the world.
"If there are beast-people, there should also be other fantastical things, right? Perhaps monsters exist in Terra… then that world would be a better place to leave Ruby while I go to Earth, after all, if I leave her in another world, time will go on slowly there and she will not miss me as much if only a few minutes passes in other worlds while I go to school in Tokyo…" said Frank as he glanced at the sleeping Ruby, who accommodated herself back in the couch after he woke up.
Frank caressed her soft belly, which lacked the hard scales and had slightly pale skin, it seemed to be a weak point of her monster race. However, Ruby let him pat her in the belly, showing her strong bond with him, only forged after a few hours of her being born.
Frank did not want to wake up Ruby any longer, so he decided to quickly teleport to Earth, taking a bath and then going back to the Nursery, finding Ruby still sleeping. He took around twenty minutes taking a quick bath, which became an hour inside of this space, but she seemed to be taking a long sleep, so she kept sleeping even after an hour.
"She has spent a lot of her energy since she was born that she didn't take any nap or rested at all… Little thing- Huh?"
Frank then noticed as Ruby began to pee on the couch.
"Wait! Not here! Go to your room!!!" roared Frank as he grabbed Ruby and made her sit in her room, as she finished her duty.
"Grawl!" she said happily as she waved her tail.
"Ruby, don't do go to the bathroom in the white room, okay? Use your room! You can use the lava pool, I'm sure your waste will just turn into ashes there" said Frank.
"Grawl!" said Ruby. Frank did not know if she understood him or not…
Nonetheless, he could not help but release a smile due to her innocence and cute energetic nature, petting her and spoiling her a bit.
"Alright, I will go out for a bit now, so be a good girl and don't miss me too much, I will be back in… well, as soon as I can… Here, there is more meat and I have left you more water in the white room, make sure to not go to the bathroom there! Okay?" said Frank.
"Grawl!" said Ruby, rubbing her head into Frank's legs.
"Sigh… I hope you do as I told you…" muttered Frank, as he suddenly disappeared out of Ruby's sight.
"Grawl? Grawl! Grawl!" roared Ruby, looking for Frank around both rooms, but finding nothing.
"Graawl…"
Ruby looked around the rooms but did not find Frank, she sighed as she glanced at the couch, which was impregnated with his scent.
Sitting on the couch once again while feeling Frank's scent, she pretended to be with him as she fell asleep.
The moment Frank disappeared from Ruby's sight, he appeared in Terra, in the same position as he was before, sitting on a bench near Gwendolyn's house, he was wearing his farmer outfit as well, and the sun was hitting rather strong just as before.
"Ah, I'm back here… How much time passed in here? Maybe a few minutes? It seems that Gwendolyn is not done with the juice she offered me…" he muttered.
"Frank, come inside, the juice is done!" said Gwendolyn's charming voice, resonating on Frank's ears as he was interrupted from admiring the beautiful and almost endless landscape of the world of Terra, the graceful green plains, the lush forests, the clear sky, and the refreshing and strong sunlight. The air was clean and relaxing, it was truly a paradise for anyone to come and relax from the daily lives on Earth.
"Coming!" said Frank, as he stood up from the bench and walked inside of Gwendolyn's house, finding Annabelle, Gwendolyn's daughter sitting in one of the chairs while eating a sandwich and drinking orange juice with Cathyl, the Minotaur woman who had come to do the same work as Frank, she was his future workmate.
"Drink it up boy, you look quite tired after taking the weed out," said Gwendolyn with a motherly smile, as Frank sat down near Cathyl, eyeing at her enormous balloons for a split of a second, they were really quite big.
"Thanks for your hospitality, miss," said Frank with a humble smile as he drank the refreshing, freshly squeezed out of the fruit orange juice, the fruit itself was immensely sweet and there was not any need for any additional sugar, it was refreshing even for him who had just drunk two liters of water a few hours ago.
"Haah… That was delicious" said Frank.
"You like it? Those Oranges come from a neighbor farm that has a small forest entirely made out of Orange Trees, the old man that owns it sells them fairly cheap for their quality" said Gwendolyn.
"I see, I wonder if he could have some job for me, miss?" asked Frank.
"Maybe, but you will have your hands all busy with me, boy, so I don't think you will be having any free time. You have to compensate for what you did after all!" said Gwendolyn as she finished cooking pancakes, putting a large plate with a tower of them in the middle of the table.
"Mommy pancakes!!!" said Annabelle, who had recently finished her sandwich as she took a fork and grabbed a pancake, pouring a bit of honey and then beginning to dig in as if her life depended on it.
"Mommy pancakes are the besht!" she said with her cheeks filled with the fluffy texture of the pancakes.
"Look at that! I have never eaten these before! Alright, thanks for the meal~!" said Cathyl, grabbing a pancake and eating it with butter.
Frank could not help but drool as he grabbed on a pancake and began to eat as well, Gwendolyn glanced at the three with a happy smile as she sighed in relief, slowly moving to the table, and sitting in another chair between Frank and her daughter.
"I wonder if you are from some kind of church, boy? Do you pray to one of the gods?" asked Gwendolyn while drinking orange juice.
"R-Religion? Ah… Well, I was never well educated in them… I know there are some gods, but not exactly much about them… I am sorry if this offends you in some way, miss…" muttered Frank.
"Ah, no! This is a nice opportunity to introduce you to our religion then!" said Gwendolyn, surprising Frank as she ended up being a strong devote.
"I see… which god would it be?" asked Frank.
"Isn't it obvious? We are beast-people, so it is the Beast God Abraddon, our creator and father, and also the father of all animals in the world, including the Beast Kings" said Gwendolyn.
