Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

"Stay safe on the road!"

Iron Hammer shouted and watched the figure quickly shrink in his sight before it disappeared. He slowly lowered his waving hand and stretched lazily.

He would continue yesterday's construction work.

During the day, when he had nothing else to do, he had further perfected the guild construction blueprint and plans.

Even though he had switched careers to become a blacksmith many years ago, in that moment, he felt as if he had regained the passion he once shared with his friends in building their home.

But before that…

Iron Hammer vanished in a flash and reappeared one minute later, nodding in satisfaction.

With the addition of more group formation bonuses, he had broken through 1% in his damage progress, no longer just scraping by.

A small progress each day.

"Don't forget to carry out your daily exclusive hunt!" he reminded Evelyn and Red Leaf before preparing to get to work.

"Uncle Iron Hammer, today I'd like to find a suitable third contracted spiritual beast," Evelyn spoke up with her plan, "So I might not be able to help you with the guild construction for now."

"Choosing a contracted spiritual beast is quite important," Iron Hammer nodded earnestly, "Go ahead, and maybe you can take Red Leaf with you."

"She, having just been promoted to official level, probably needs a new contracted spiritual beast as well."

"Um…" Evelyn looked at Red Leaf with a slightly conflicted expression.

"Red Leaf has impressive talents, she might be able to help you in times of danger," Iron Hammer said with a smile, "You don't need to worry too much about exposing her talents, as long as you don't use the third talent, the ascension boost is not exaggerated."

"Alright, then I'm willing to set out with Red Leaf!" Evelyn was persuaded by Iron Hammer.

Thinking of herself growing stronger and possessing the power to protect her companions, a hint of pride appeared in Evelyn's eyes, and she couldn't help but puff up her still-developing chest.

"No problem," Iron Hammer chuckled, switching to Chinese to speak out loud, "Red Leaf, are you interested in going with Evelyn to find a new contracted spiritual beast?"

"Huh?" Red Leaf looked surprised, "Uncle Iron Hammer, don't we need to help you build the guild today?"

"Haha, building a guild isn't an overnight task," Iron Hammer laughed heartily, "According to my plans, it will take at least a week before we can see the guild taking shape. You and Evelyn shouldn't spend all your precious time here."

Seeing Red Leaf's thoughtful expression, Iron Hammer winked at her, "Actually, I'm a bit worried about Evelyn, so I hope you can help me keep an eye on her."

"Then I'll go with her!" Red Leaf promptly responded, "And I can look for my own contracted spiritual beast along the way."

"That's wonderful," Iron Hammer nodded in satisfaction, "If you encounter any danger or unexpected situations, leave a message in the guild channel immediately."

"Okay!" Red Leaf nodded vigorously, also a bit excited.

Before becoming an Official Level Player, being just an Apprentice Level Player, she had no ability to navigate the Dream World independently. Facing any Growth Rank spiritual beast would be enough to make her restart from scratch.

And Growth Rank spiritual beasts were almost every few kilometers in the Dream World.

After luckily joining the Dragon Gate Camp, which was not far from the starting point, she had always lived inside the camp. Leaving Dragon Gate Camp for the Luoyue Guild was the boldest decision she had made. The potential dangers along the way were quite challenging to deal with.

Now, being able to explore the world further with her guildmates, she was very much looking forward to it.

Although Evelyn was small, her strength was unexpectedly reliable!

"Let's go, Evelyn!" Red Leaf ran up to Evelyn, grabbed her hands, and said, "Please teach me a lot today!"

Evelyn tilted her head and then nodded gently.

Iron Hammer, worried, gave them a few more reminders before watching them leave the camp area, a hint of reluctance showing on his face.

Now, he was the only one left to watch over the home.

At that moment, Iron Hammer suddenly hoped someone would come for an interview soon.

At least, he wanted someone to talk to.

-----------------

"It's decided then, you're the one!"

In a forest, Red Leaf, with the cooperation of the Illusion Spirit Fox, subdued a Juvenile Stage rabbit Spiritual Beast, her face showing a very excited expression.

She was quite lucky when she contracted her first Spiritual Beast. At that time, the Illusion Spirit Fox's level wasn't high, but it possessed the relatively rare Superpower Attribute. The one they encountered now, belonging to the Jumping Rabbit clan, had the Fighting type Attribute.

Having both Superpower and Fighting type attributes, it was simply fantastic!

The already subdued Jumping Rabbit shivered. Having no room to refuse, it quickly became Red Leaf's second Contracted Spiritual Beast.

"I will help you break through to the Growth Rank soon," Red Leaf promised sincerely, giving the Jumping Rabbit a hopeful feeling for the future. It stopped trembling, and its Affinity greatly increased.

Holding the petite Jumping Rabbit in her arms, Red Leaf was in a great mood and turned to look at Evelyn beside her, "Evelyn, let's quickly find a suitable Spiritual Beast for you next!"

Evelyn was chewing on a grass root, with her hands in her pockets. Hearing Red Leaf call her name, she lifted a hand and pointed in a direction.

"Shall we go there? No problem!" Red Leaf, holding the rabbit with one hand, grabbed Evelyn's other hand that was about to slip back into her pocket, and they moved in the direction the little girl wanted to go.

Behind the two of them followed the Illusion Spirit Fox and Evelyn's Spiritual Beasts.

Evelyn let Red Leaf lead her, her gaze inevitably falling on their intertwined hands.

Red Leaf's hand was bigger and completely enveloped her small one, warm and soft.

A sudden, inexplicable feeling of safety surged in her heart.

Following Red Leaf step by step, a smile gradually appeared on Evelyn's face.

Before long, the two arrived at a plain.

There, Evelyn took a liking to a Juvenile Stage Earth Attribute Spiritual Beast, the Rockhorn Deer.

Uncle Iron Hammer would probably need the power of the Earth Attribute.

The idea suddenly popped into Evelyn's mind while contracting the Rockhorn Deer.

Of course, that wasn't the reason she chose to contract it.

The Rockhorn Deer itself had a pretty decent skill configuration and could also be used as a mount.

Hmm… it would first need to break through to the Growth Rank.

Gently patting the little deer, which wasn't much taller than her, Evelyn gave it an encouraging look. She turned her head to Red Leaf and nodded, indicating she had completed the contract on her own.

"There's a lake over there, shall we rest by the lake and eat something before we head back?" Red Leaf's gaze moved to a lake nearby that had caught her attention earlier.

The lake water was exceptionally clear, like a gem embedded in the earth, making Red Leaf eager to take a closer look.

Moreover, having walked all the way, they were indeed a bit tired.

Evelyn agreed to this suggestion.

The two quickly approached the lake and finally stepped into the lakeside area.

"Boom!!!"

The calm lake water instantly churned up huge waves, a massive head emerged from the water, looking towards the two women at first, then swiftly crossing over to them, stepping on the water flow.
