Chapter 6 - Possession And Beast Tattoo!
[...
You have ranked up!
You can now contract another beast! ]
"Ranked up?"
Ban pinched his forehead as he thought of a possibility.
After being exposed to the adventurers for over 2 years of staying in the city, Ban now knows a thing or two about adventurers and their ranks.
According to them, the adventurers, their summoned monsters, and the wild beast have the same ranking system.
It was composed of ten ranks, with each letter having its own respective rank names.
The ranking system started with the letter 'X' that was also known as the Mortal rank, followed by the letters F all the way towards A. As far as Ban knew, no one in the city reached, C rank yet much more the A's which only existed on the legends.
For example, the Demon Ants would become X- Mortal Rank, the moment they turned into an adult, while the Demon Ants Queen would evolve into the next rank at her peak, which is labeled as the F- Apprentice Rank.
Every human in the Summoner's world started with the term, 'Unranked'.
After they summon their first monster during their age of ceremony, they would then ascend immediately into the first rank, X-Mortal Rank.
And Ban, who failed miserably during the age of ceremony has actually ascended right now?
If Ban didn't witness the Almighty Summoner System's capability first hand, he would not even dare to believe it.
However, the strength that was coursing through his body right now was the real proof that he had really ascended.
'Even without a summon…' Ban mumbled to himself as he realized that he had just become someone powerful within the span of a single day.
No, not even a single day had passed since he got the System and he had already ascended to another rank with two [Skills] at his disposal.
He also got a contracted beast that had not hatched yet.
Although he still doesn't know what's the difference between a summoned monster and a summoned beast, at least for now, he was able to know that he was no longer weak.
After experiencing the [Skill] Greed first hand, Ban realized just how powerful it was. It even let him ascend to the next rank as well as strengthening his contracted beast at the same time.
'Sigh* If only there was no cooldown to this [Skill]' Ban mumbled to himself as he prepared to check the next reward.
The next reward that he needs to check was another [Skill] called Possession.
Ban summoned the System to display the [Skills] description and its usage.
[Skill: Possession(Ancient)
A skill that could let the user experience the strength of their summoned monster of a beast.
-Choose a Summoned monster to possess your body for a period of time.
-Obtain a [Skill] temporarily from the summon that possessed your body.
Can only be used for 30 minutes!
Cooldown 12 hours.
Due to owning the [Title: Almighty Summoner], the usage limit was extended to 1 hour while the cooldown was reduced to 6 hours.

[Injecting [Skill] Possession knowledge in 3… 2… 1…]
Another throbbing sensation assaulted Ban's mind but unlike the previous one, he was more tolerant this time. Maybe because of what he has experienced upon using the [Skill] Greed or maybe he just somehow got used to it.
[Successful…]
"My god!!! Another powerful skill?" Ban stood with his body as erect as a pillar. He really could not fathom just how powerful the person behind the Almighty Summoner System is. For them to give such bountiful rewards when he had almost done nothing, he pondered if they are just generous or generously strong.
As he still doesn't have any summoned beast right now, Ban immediately turned his attention to the next and last reward.
[Storage Seal: Beast Tattoo
A perfect Storage Seal for the Almighty Summoner.
-All Contracted beasts can be stored here in the future.
-All Beasts inside the Storage Seal will heal faster.
-The size of the [Storage Seal] will depend on the contracted beast stored.

At the same time, Ban suddenly felt a burning hot sensation on his chest.
As he was worried about what it might be, he directly took off his clothes as he tried to see and touch the cause of the hot sensation on his chest.
However, right at the moment, the row of words suddenly moved before new ones appeared.
[Injecting [Storage Seal] Beast Tattoo knowledge in 3… 2… 1... ]
Although he can read and understand the descriptions that were presented by the System, injecting it inside his brain directly was a different matter. It allows him to comprehend its content clearly without missing a single bit.
[Successful...]
And upon the successful operation, Ban instantly understood what had caused the burning hot sensation on his chest.
The [Storage Seal] Beast Tattoo has been engraved into his chest. Regardless, Ban still turned his attention towards his chest to observe the Beast Tattoo clearly.
Just like a birthmark, the Beast Tattoo had a pinkish color. Its appearance looks like a set of letters pieced together to form a figure of a monster or a beast.
Ban had already seen countless monsters summoned by the adventurers but he had never seen something like the one on his chest before.
'Why did I even expect to recognize it at first glance?'
Ban didn't think about it any longer as he put on his upper clothes again.
Not wanting to delay it any longer, he decided to test the [Storage Seal] immediately.
However, it seems that something or someone was rejecting him to do so.
