Skill Forge: Broken Extra Character

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Dyno

As Jett walked back, he thought to himself, 'This was an eventful day. Fought off some terrorists, had an audience with the king till midnight, found out more about my parents, copied two skills from the king himself, and even made a checkpoint right in the royal treasury.' He started smiling with confidence.

'Although I wasn't expecting most of what happened, my plan to survive this world is going better than expected.'

As he got closer to the Emberville mansion, he decided to inspect the egg. "It looks really cool. I wonder what kind of pet I'll get if the egg has a skill of its own."

From the moment he claimed ownership of the egg, it became an item only he could see. He realized this when Ray and the others didn't notice the golden egg hovering around him.

[Gluttony]

[Highest Grade Pet Egg]

[Duration: 02:01:00 years]

"Two years." Jett muttered. "That's how long it'll take to hatch. Well, I did expect that since the concept of pets only started after we got to the academy."

Jett felt uneasy as he looked at the egg, but then he remembered he had a skill that worked better for inspection.

[Evil Eyes A]

- See hidden information overlooked during appraisal.

- See through all A Rank illusions and below.

- Detect Fire attributes.

- Detect Dark attributes.]

"Let's try that again," he said, activating the skill.

He looked at the egg and saw a new message appear below the previous one.

[Gluttony]

[Highest Grade Pet Egg]

[Duration: 02:01:00 years]

[Binding Successful]

[For a better result, subject needs a catalyst]

[Find any species you would like to use as a catalyst.]

Jett was caught off guard by the new information. 'Binding? Catalyst? If that's the case, then it's no longer a gacha. But I guess it's much better; I just have to decide what kind of pet I want.' His mind soon drifted off in thought. 'There are many mythical creatures to choose from.

A dragon would be nice. I can even get what I need from the royal treasury.'

As he pondered his options, he ran into Nerissa, who was just about to leave when she spotted him.

"Leave him be," Avon gestured from where he sat.

"But sir..." the knight tried to protest.

A harsh voice quickly sounded, "You heard the man, now move."

Jett was finally allowed to walk in. He scanned the room as he walked straight to his mother. Those present were Avon, Eva, a man who had a striking resemblance to Eva, and four knights—two behind the man and another two at the door.

The atmosphere felt a bit tense the deeper he walked in. Their gazes were mostly on him, and for some unknown reason, he could sense a killing intent from someone in the room. It was suffocating, but he dared not act hastily.

'This must be the Dyno guy. He really looks like my mother, but why is that?' Jett stole quick glances at him.

"Jett, come over here," Eva called.

"Yes, Mother," Jett replied, walking faster to meet her.

"There's someone I need to introduce to you," she held him close while pointing at the stranger, "This is Sir Leon Dyno. He's my older brother, which makes him your uncle."

'You have got to be kidding me.' Jett's expectations dropped drastically, feeling betrayed somewhere along the line.

"So this is your kid? He looks more like an embarrassment to the Dyno name. It's a pity that you had to marry that buffoon excuse for a husband. Muscle with no brain—just pray he doesn't end up like his old man." Leon boasted as he indirectly bad-mouthed Jerry.

'We only just met, and I already feel like sending him to hell.' Jett was triggered. 'Who said anything about wanting to be part of the Dyno family, huh?'

This continued as Leon spouted more hateful things about them, causing the knights to laugh heartily while Eva and Avon asked him to restrain himself to no avail.

Before anyone noticed, a glass cup went flying towards Leon. He managed to stop it with wind magic, but the contents still spilled on his apparel.

"Don't you dare say something like that about my father," Jett yelled at him.

This enraged Leon, who forgot about his surroundings and sent Jett flying straight towards the wall.

'Crap, did I mess up this time?' Jett braced himself as he got closer to colliding face-first with the wall.

But he stopped moving mid-air. Everywhere went silent, and he could feel an ominous aura in the room.

'What just happened? Wait, is that... mother?' He looked back to see a sight he wasn't expecting.
