Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties

Liora raised her hand.

A faint portal opened under the fallen Brutaurus.

Its body began to sink slowly into the portal.

Fiona watched with wide eyes.

"Wait, wait—what are you doing?"

She hovered down, landing just a few meters away from Liora.

"Did you already make a contract with it?"

Liora shook her head.

"No."

"I just sent it into Luxoria Castle's special subsystem."

Fiona blinked.

"Subsystem?"

"You mean storage?"

Liora nodded once.

"Exactly. It's stored—nothing more."

"Not bonded. Not mine."

Fiona's mouth opened a little.

"But… you beat it."

"You tamed it, didn't you?"

Liora smirked faintly.

"I defeated it."

"But I didn't tame it. There's a difference."

Fiona pointed to the ground where the beast had vanished.

"So… what? You just… filed it away?"

"Like it's a spare sword or something?"

Liora shrugged casually.

"Same thing I did with Inferon."

Fiona's eyes went wide.

"…Hold on."

She stepped closer, voice rising slightly.

"Inferon too? You're not even bonded to him?"

---

Fiona stepped closer, eyes locked on Liora's.

"You're telling me..."

"Brutaurus. Inferon."

"All these Sovereign monsters... aren't contracted to anyone?"

"They're just stored in the Luxoria system?"

Liora calmly answered,

"Yes."

"Stored. Stabilized. And yes..."

"They're for sale."

@FlexOfTheCentury: She beat them and said 'they're stock'

---

Fiona slowly turned to her drone, still hovering close and capturing everything.

"Chat… I don't even know what to say."

She glanced back at Liora, then back at the now-empty battlefield.

"That Inferon we saw in the auction section of the app..."

"The one marked as in stock…"

She exhaled.

"That was the Inferon. The exact one Lady Liora just used."

Liora smirked as she deactivated her gauntlets.

"Correct."

She turned toward Fiona.

"He's listed in the app because he's not bonded to anyone."

"That's how Luxoria Castle works."

@STOCKBEASTUSEDLIVE: That's CRAZY

@SHEUSEDTHEMERCH: Liora just demo'd the auction beast

@THISISMARKETING: Bro this is the most terrifying sales pitch ever

@InferonFORSALE: I thought it was just a profile not active inventory

@RARELOOTLIVE: Fiona was next to a beast you can literally buy

@LuxoriaOverkill: Lord L's shop is the final boss store

---

Fiona then took a deep breath.

"…I feel like I just filmed a commercial."

Liora then looked up toward the sky.

"Ready to head back?"

Fiona gave a small stretch and cracked her knuckles.

"Yeah."

"I think we gave them a full episode's worth of content."

She turned to her drone with a grin.

"Chat, we're heading back to Luxoria Castle."

"If I pass out halfway, send snacks."

---

Liora turned, her jetpack glowing faintly again.

Fiona hopped on Fionyx, who transformed smoothly into hoverpack mode.

They lifted off together.

Fiona smiled into the camera one last time.

"Next stop—whatever madness Lord L has waiting back at base."

"Luxoria Castle... we're coming home."

---

Fiona and Liora had arrived and went to the restaurant.

At the far end sat Lucius Luxoria.

He was already waiting for them.

"Welcome back, Miss Fiona."

"How was your little adventure with Liora?"

Fiona exhaled hard, plopping down across from him.

"Wild."

She pulled off her visor and laid it on the table.

"She's really strong."

Liora walked past without sitting.

Lucius smirked faintly, eyes on Fiona.

"Stronger than you expected?"

Fiona gave him a look.

"Let's just say… I saw a Sovereign beast turn into steak."

"And she didn't flinch."

---

@BACKATBASE: She lived!

@DINNERWITHLORDL: Oh she moved up fast

@WARTHENWINE: Brutaurus to brunch transition

@SHEEARNEDIT: That table view is VIP

@FionaRecapTime: Tell him everything queen!

---

Lucius leaned forward slightly, fingers laced.

"Did you learn anything?"

Fiona paused, then nodded.

"Yeah. I learned a lot today."

"Like the fact I'm nowhere near Lady Liora's level."

Lucius chuckled, swirling his drink slowly.

"Few are."

Fiona exhaled, then narrowed her eyes.

"But something else too..."

She leaned forward.

"There are two SS-Rank Sovereign beasts in the vault now."

"Inferon and Brutaurus."

Lucius gave a knowing smile.

"That's correct."

"And?"

Fiona raised an eyebrow.

"So when's the next auction?"

"People saw both beasts in action live today."

"Everyone's gonna ask."

"You're gonna drop them again soon, right?""

Lucius tilted his head, eyes gleaming.

"Why don't you do it?"

Fiona blinked.

"Wait, me?"

Lucius nodded smoothly.

"Use the new Luxoria Castle App."

"Announce it. Stream it. Run it your way."

Fiona stared at him, stunned.

Fiona slowly grinned, leaning on her elbows.

"Wait wait wait."

"You're saying I can announce the next auction?"

Lucius nodded once, calm and cool.

"You're our official streamer."

"People trust you."

"Use your channel. Let the app broadcast it."

"Build the hype yourself."

Fiona glanced to her drone.

"Chat, you hearing this?"

Fiona looked back at Lucius, eyes shining.

"Alright, Lord L…"

"If I'm doing it—give me access to everything."

Lucius smirked.

"You'll have full access to the sale list, price sheets, and... surprise slots."

Fiona laughed.

"Surprise slots?"

"You'll see."

She tapped her visor, opening her Luxoria app live interface.

"Okay chat. Let's build an auction stream so insane..."

"They'll think we're selling dragons."

"Oh wait."

"We are."
