Chapter 91: She Got This
After returning from the market, Aamir and Riya carried their purchases back to the dormitory. Their room was just as they’d left it—neat, quiet, familiar.
"I’m going to the terrace," Aamir said, heading upstairs with a normal bag slung over his shoulder.
As he stepped onto the terrace, the cool breeze brushed against his face. He pulled out the egg from his bag. It wasn’t in a dimensional bag—just a regular one. A mistake. Despite possessing the Dimensional Space skill, Aamir still wasn’t used to using it and often forgot. He had instinctively placed the egg into his normal bag, thinking it was the dimensional one.
Holding the egg carefully in both hands, he felt it again—a faint heartbeat, ever so light, but definitely there.
"Hey, Luman. How is this thing even useful to me?" Aamir asked, gazing at the mysterious egg.
Luman’s deep voice echoed in his mind. "You can tame the beast inside—if you’re lucky. But for that, the egg must hatch."
Aamir frowned. "But how? I mean, it hasn’t hatched in all these years. Why would it hatch now?"
"You’re right," Luman replied. "But do you know how birds help their young grow? They can’t feed them directly before hatching, so they sit on their eggs, transferring warmth and energy. That’s how the embryo survives and grows."
"But I’m neither a bird nor its mother. How can I do that?"
"You have a skill—Mark of the Hunter—which lets you gain experience when marked people defeats there targets. But that same skill can also be used to transfer your energy."
Aamir’s eyes lit up. "Oh yeah! I remember now!"
