《The Solitary Sword Sovereign》Colossus Criterion Thesaurus
Advertisement
As the dragon heard Will speak, it felt an overwhelming feeling of subservience fill up its body. It was as if Will was gripping the soul of the creature with his own hands, and if it yielded it would lose control over its own fate.
Being the descendant of a True Dragon, a Chilling Yin Dragon had an innate pride within its body, so under normal circumstances, it would rather die than yield to a human, especially one from a lower world.
Yet Will was indeed stronger than it. The dragon was also aware of the fact that earth had only been part of the system for five years. Thus the fact that Will was this strong after cultivating for only five years meant one thing.
'He has a lot of potential. He would be a worthy master, but can he defeat it?'
As the dragon thought of its current master, the true boss of the city, it could not help but shiver. The dragon first looked at Will.
'If I do not yield, I die.'
Then it stared off into space behind Will.
'If I yield, the human will most likely die.'
This was indeed quite the conundrum. But it had no choice, because at least if it chose the second option there was the option of survival. The dragon was confident that Will was using some sort of beast taming skill on it, which made it hesitate even more. If it was a high-class skill then there was no backing out of it.
"Beast, I do not hold back twice, and I do not ask thrice, do you yield?"
The dragon could not help but let out a weak whimper of resignation. Will was pleased and nodded in satisfaction. "Colossus Criterion." Once Will spoke the name of the skill, the dragon immediately felt its effects. The dragon's body turned into a small ball of white light.

'Now let's see here...since it's a creature of the yin attribute, I probably can't apply radiant energy...hhmm.'
After Will had left King Yama's Gate, he got four S class skill books and a hundred thousand bonus points as a reward. 3 of the skills were not applicable to Will due to class restrictions. Soul regalia was one of them. There was only one book which Will could use.
Skill: Colossus Criterion Thesaurus
Class: SSS
Class Restriction: Restriction: None
Level Restriction: None
Special restriction: User must be a Sovereign and must have an Intent Ability.
First Chapter- Colossus Criterion
An ability that allows a user to tame a beast that yields regardless of that beast's level, so long as the user has personally won the battle.
Second Chapter- Thesaurus Phylogenesis
An ability that allows a user to imbue a tamed beast with intent and allow it to evolve. Can only be used 5 times. Results depend on compatibility.
Third Chapter- Colossus Gambit
Fuse two tamed beasts to create a brand new species. Results depend on compatibility.
The ability only had three skills, but each had immense potential, especially the second chapter. Intent was Will's specialty: Radiant Energy, Bloodlust, Sword Intent, Water Intent, Killing Intent. Will had five intents at his disposal. The key point was compatibility.
For example, if one wanted to level up a zombie-like creature but used a cleansing intent, the creature would actually devolve. So Will had to carefully think about which intent he would use.
After some deliberation Will made his decision. "Thesaurus Phylogenesis."
With a slash, Will imbued the light with his killing intent. At first, Will wanted to use bloodlust but he decided to take it one step at a time. He was also not sure if the creature could handle such a powerful intent. The killing intent Will put in was also imbued with sword intent, so Will was curious as to what the result would be.

The light quickly turned reddish as it began to fluctuate wildly. With a wave of his, hand Will put the light into his ring. Looking around with a satisfied expression Will then looked downwards toward the turtle.
The dragon had assumed that it had escaped the fog by flying up, but it had only escaped the first layer. Will wanted to make sure no one could see his fight from above. There was no telling how the IB got its information or what some abilities some players might have.
Will was confident that the powerhouses of the planet had their own means of observing what was happening at every major city on the planet. He did not want his abilities known so early.
...
From up above Adelda could not help but smile. She more than approved of Will's actions. It is wise not to reveal all of one's cards so early. Even though she was happy with Will's improvements she was also displeased because the stronger he was the more likely he would achieve his goal. Which was something she did not want, but unfortunately it was what her master desired, so she would do her job to her utmost?
'He may be a dog, but he is better than some of the worms out there.'
As Adelda reminisced, she looked upwards. Wondering what would happen once her suitors upstairs learned of what had happened on earth.
...
Will decided to completely ignore the turtle and headed for the puppy. He was itching for some real action. In only a few seconds he was back at the beach, standing next to a shivering Letty.
Letty felt three beastly souls appear, so she was still thinking that Will was embroiled in a battle with the other. When he showed up next to her she felt a wave of relief. The puppy had not made any movements so far, only following Will's body.
It had been following Will's body with its eyes, to the point where just before Will came out of the fog, it was staring at where he would land.
'This creature is not normal.'
As Letty was contemplating on the potentially lethal bundle of cuteness in front of them, Will put his hand on her shoulder.
"Stand back, its time I got serious."
Will was merely a human, one she had only known for a few days, but his touch had a certain reassuring force behind it, as if everything was alright. But Letty was born in the system. She knew that things would not be so easy.

But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
