Rosey's Improvement And Leveling
Rising Essence, east of the Azure Dragon Sub-Division. Deep within the woods.
A man fully suited up in a strange, complete purple-blackish full armor that seemed to be incredible flexible at the every move was made from his body, as well as curiously scary whenever one took into consideration the bright purplish glow that came from the full helmet that was the only orifices that the entire suit had, as well as the tear-shaped thorns on the back which gave just about anyone a feeling of not being able to come out unscathed no matter what kind of close-combat moves they made on him. Even then, it seemed to not be a bother to wear at all as the man inside it didn't stop for a moment as he moved forwards and forwards.
It took him around 3 hours for him to stop walking as he finally arrived at a slightly 'less' forest-like area where one could clearly see that there was enough space for battles between gigantic beings to take place unobstructed.
After making a quick 'scan' through the surroundings, Tongqiu finally decided to take this place to level up to at least LV40!
To his right side, on his shoulder, little Rosey appeared from previously hopping at the top of the trees as she produced a "brrr" before nuzzling the top of her head along with her petal against his neck.
Using his fingers to massage little Rosey's head and behind her cute little pointy ears, Tongqiu then spoke out towards her as he kept looking in front: "Mn, Rosey. Would you like to help me in killing tons and tons of monsters around here for fun? We'll grow stronger, together!"
She stopped nuzzling against him for a second in 'contemplation' before turning back into her 'angry' mode with her terrifying appearance: "Brr? Ptrr-ptrr!!"
"Mn, good. Okay let's start, make me proud, okay?" Taking her little body with his right hand before placing her in front of his face, Tongqiu then encouraged her as he 'helped' her little body with a boost from both of his hands under her feet.
"Ptrrrr~~!!"
Like so, began the extermination of all life -except flora and the like- of the deep forests in the east of the Azure Dragon Sub-Division. The monsters, beasts and whatnot that inhabited these lands were the following:
[Royal Lion of the Wild]: Type: Beast, Level: 50, HP: 42,000. From the large clans of the animal kingdom in the entire Main Kingdom, though very weak and can only be strong along its pack, it also has the savage properties that a desperate beast would only recur to on the brink of death.
Skills: Charge, Lion's Fury.
[Charge]: Positions its body to accumulate strength before swiftly charging up to a desired direction. It can charge up to 30 meters in only 3 seconds but cannot easily change its direction.
[Lion's Fury]: Roars in terrific lust for blood to increase the Attack Speed, Movement Speed and Physical Power of all nearby Royal Lion Tribe, the more members there are, the more powerful will this skill be efficient.
[Slime of Impure Matter]: Type: Monster, Level: 55, HP: 43,500. Usually, a slime is always peaceful and harmless, but ever since 2,000 years ago, sightings of unstable slime has made everyone around Main Kingdom no longer want to keep them as even a ban was lifted!
Skills: Please Don't Hit Me, It Hurts, I'm Sorry.
[Please Don't Hit Me]: Whenever it is attacked, increases Physical Power and Magical Power in 2 %, stacks up to a total of 20 times.
[It Hurts]: Every melee attack has the chance to be reflected at the enemy with 75% the efficiency.
[I'm Sorry]: At random intervals from being attacked, the slime will enter an uncontrollable berserk state that'll increase its Physical Power and Magical Power in 200% for 15 seconds. It will also happen when reaching 15% of their total HP.
[Kobold]: Type: Beast, Level: 52, HP: 40,000. A banished Tribe from the Myriad Races because of going berserk and wild after the catastrophe. Some have accepted it while some others of the same race intend to go back to their ancestral role.
Skills: Wise Hunter, Laughing Beast.
[Wise Hunter]: Whenever a Kobold hunts alone, their stats are increased in 5%. If hunting alone towards multiple enemies, it increases to 15% in stats.
[Laughing Beast]: This Kobold has gone nuts and only intends to follow a savagery path, even cannibalism. Every 15 seconds in battle heals them 2,000 HP and gives their next attack Lifesteal+100%.
The place all around was really, really big. Possible capable of holding around 125,000 adult persons and still leave some space to it. All of it was mostly 'plagued' by mobs and all of that was deserted. There were many parties that wanted to go to these kinds of places that are more than 20 levels higher than theirs only to be killed even before arriving there.
Nodding to little Rosey jumping onto some Royal Lions in the distance, Tongqiu took a hellish of a break with his entire body lying on the soft soil that was the untouched by humans' forest.
With Rosey's 10,200 Physical Power, she only needed to hit these little monsters 5 times to kill them all, she didn't even had to use Bloodline once because of how boringly boring these little beasts were. Specially the slime, she specially liked bullying this type of depressed monster the most, they were squishy and grumpy after all.
As Rosey went forwards to labor for her big bro without a single hesitation nor long face, Tongqiu opened up the Level Leaderboards and the Equipment Leaderboards.

'Oh, the Cherished Dagger has been replaced! Heh, Miriam you're still a little too clingy, no? To even upgrade an useless item...' Indeed, that Cherished Dagger which she so 'magnanimously' took from Tongqiu in exchange of bringing him to 'unknown' chests that no one knew about back then, damn, she became quite a little cunning herself. Even going as far as taking that dagger as their bond inside the game.
Sigh~
Little Rosey casually turned her head back in wonder as to why her big bro was suddenly sighing so melancholic-ally, because of her stupid distractions, she was about to be hit by a mace from a Kobold!
Wheeesh!
But of course, that was just the silly dreams of a brainless monster from a game; easily taking that blow off from hitting her body, Rosey then made an unusual hop with her going for a fifth position as she was actually impulsed towards the Kobold.
Her blade-like hands went towards the Kobold's upper torso while her legs went for its ribs, she flurried the bitch up for a few seconds, enough for it to die a couple of times, before finishing the Kobold with a headbutt to its chin.
"Ptrr! Ptrrr~~." Tongqiu saw her wave her little left fist in anger as if saying 'how dare thee try to impede this young miss from glancing at my big bro? Die!'. But oh well, it was alright as he saw his bar Experience and Rosey's become rapidly full, so he didn't went in to comfort her at once as there was time for gifting her some stuff after hitting LV40.
. . .
After 8 days and 12 hours of skipping meals, moving left and right a few kilometers to search for spot where there were more similar mobs while waiting for the ones that were already put into extinction to spawn again, Tongqiu spent his time having some nice and peaceful walks with little Rosey as the little thing always 'made' Tongqiu carry her in his arms in search for a new levelling spot.
He didn't buy any Encouraging Boost potions at all
*PING*...you have levelled up to LV42, HP+50, MP+50, Stamina+50, all other stats have been increased according to the specifications of your class.
*PING*...your pet 'Rosey' has levelled up to LV42, HP+750, MP+3,000, Stamina+2,500, Physical Power+300, Magical Power+375, Physical Defense+60, Magical Defense+60.
At some point, Rosey caught up with Tongqiu but because of the feature that pets cannot be of a higher level than their masters, Rosey could only 'slowly' level up at the same time that Tongqiu did. As such, after a few more hours of grinding some Experience, both of them successfully managed to reach LV42 at last.
Rosey had also obviously unlocked the rest of her skills, it was just that they were pretty much passive except for the already more or less guessed Dooming Bloom. The other first three that were unlocked without any conditions had also levelled up at least once.
Tongqiu also told Rosey to use her Bloodline skill to speed up their process, though she did not managed to clean an entire hunting grounds with the use of one Bloodline skill, she did made it so much faster to travel between different places in shorter intervals of times.
One this was for sure, he wouldn't make Rosey use all of Bloodline's uses on one hunting ground or leveling spot just for the sake of finishing it as fast as possible as he instead went for the approach of shortening the time for each hunting ground/leveling spot just a little. This way, he would equally and stably go through all of the hunting grounds in an entire day in between 7 to 11 hours alone. Sometimes a Lord grade BOSS would show up and Tongqiu will delete it with his Short Azure Wind Bow and his Wind Connective Arrows along with Rosey crazy barrage of attacks.
After a good day of work from levelling, Tongqiu stretched his back as he looked upon the dark forest that he himself was currently in that was swiftly being covered up by the embrace of the night.
At his right side on the ground, little Rosey was mimicking her big bro as she also made gestures of pain and relief at the same time and even made some cute noises like 'pyaa~' and 'gruuuww!" from her stretching.
In some ways, it was fitting, she was the one doing the hardwork after all. As she had her eyes turn lazy and content, a beautiful flower that resembled a rose yet also had a type of luminescence reaction to the night, she quickly caught it with her little hands as he let out some cheerful "brrs" in response.
*PING*...host's intimacy with your pet 'Rosey' has been increased in 1.
'Mn.' Now that their relationship has once again been increased according to the system's notice and it has reached a total of 65 intimacy points, Tongqiu satisfyingly and adorably looked at the little thing before picking her up and planting her on his left shoulder.
He then slowly moved towards the Azure Dragon Main City as he gave his window stats and Rosey's a look. Before also taking a look at the Level Leaderboards.

*PING*...host's total Mental Power: 416.
Then, Rosey's new and upgraded skills came to view after Tongqiu verified his total Mental Power stat.
[Bloodline]: LV: 2, MAX LV: 3, Level required for LV3: LV60. Rosey safely burns her bloodline, increasing her Attack/Action Speed and Movement Speed by 100% for 50 seconds, removes all current CC effects and makes Rosey invulnerable to new CC effects for the next 30 seconds; which thanks to the Fallen Teary Rose Petal merged with her maser's body, he will also receive Rosey's skill the moment she activates it. It can only be used 7 times before entering into an unusable state, if it hasn't been used in thirty minutes, the usages are reset. Cost: 4,000 Stamina and 6,000 MP. Uses: 7/7. Cooldown: 30 minutes.
[Myriad Thorny Roots]: LV: 2, MAX LV: 5, Level required for LV3: LV50. Rosey rests her hands onto the ground and self-creates numerous thorny roots of the Core Elements pertaining to that of the soil, underground or nearby minerals from all around 10 km in diameter with Rosey as the epicenter. Those roots will entrap all targets in the desired area of 30 x 30 m. Roots have no duration and can only be broken once they are hit until they break, root's HP is equal to 150% of Rosey's HP. Cost: 1,000 MP. Cooldown: 1 minute.
[Life/Essence Steal]: LV: 2, MAX LV: 3, Level required for LV3: LV60. Whenever Rosey attacks with the environment or with her body itself, she leaves an impossible to detect little thorn on her targets. Rosey can command those little thorns to extract either the life or essence of the enemy; lifesteal can work for lower-living beings, while essence-steal can work well for non-living, transmuted and higher-leveled beings. This skill was born thanks to Rosey and her master, but mainly because of her master's strange type of body. Each thorn regenerates 50 HP, 50 MP and 50 Stamina for both Rosey and her master. Cost: 10% MP and 10% Stamina. Cooldown: 10 minutes.
[Dooming Bloom]: LV: 1, MAX LV: 9, Level required for LV3: LV50. Rosey convokes her race, Teary Rose's unique affinity with the Core Elements and creation to create a laser beam which will affect a circular area of 25 x 25 m and even 10 meters deep when used against the hardest materials known to a mortal, each beam will be equal to 500% Magical Power. Cost: 10,000 MP. Cooldown: 2 minutes.
[Great Petals of Destruction]: LV: 2, MAX LV: 10, Level required for LV3: LV60. Rosey is growing without interruption since she downgraded for the sake of living free of fate. Every time Rosey gains enough power, a Petal will be reborn on top of her head which will mature as she continues to grow powerful, as a Teary Rose, Rosey will reach full restoration once she achieves 9 reborn Petals while her being will also improve when certain conditions are met.
[Teary Petal]: LV: 2, MAX LV: 9, Requirement for LV3: Great Petal of Destruction x3. Rosey uses her fully matured Teary Petal to bring forth an unbearable calamity. Depending on the amount of Teary Petals used, the irreparable damage that it can cause will increment with each added Teary Petal, creating a pink translucent laser beam that will turn upside down all laws and creations, dealing Magical Power damage equal to 100,000% per petal. Rosey may receive irreversible damage and won't be available for at least 3 days after use as she hasn't completed her restoration of power. NOTE: The use of this skill may very well end Rosey's life without a possible impeding of it, it is of utmost importance for Rosey to recuperate at least most of her power to be able to execute this tragic skill without suffering a backlash.
[Nature's Endearment]: LV: 1, MAX LV: 3, Level required for LV2: LV: 60, Rosey is accompanied at all times by the Core Elements as she herself is resembling with them in a rather 'as it was supposed to be' manner; she cannot die as easily, as a result, every time Rosey's HP falls down to 0, she will instead resuscitate on the spot with full HP. After reviving, she will be granted Movement Speed+1,000% for three seconds. Note: Only Rosey is favored this way, her master cannot receive the same benefits and will die without any help given if his HP reaches 0. Trigger: Death state. Uses: 3/3. Cooldown: 24 hours.
Indeed, as him and Rosey started to level up nonstop for these few days, he noticed Rosey becoming more and more... Rosey-like. Her dialect was still only for that of 'brrs' and 'prrs' but her interactions with Tongqiu were more and more cunning, the girl looked for the most smartass moves to reduce Tongqiu to a heart-melted individual who would pamper her on his own. There was no salvation from this Rosey anymore.
She also had grown another petal while the one that was already on her head became exuberant, beautifully red, tender-looking and even grew taller than her own head as it reached a height similar to that of going from Rosey's head to the top of her head. That petal had fully matured and surely become a 'Teary Petal' now, but that Teary Petal skill's description... Worried Tongqiu.
He picked her up and placed her in front of him, his gaze never leaving her entire body, acting as if he was a troubled bodyguard who was in charge of a rich, beautiful, spoiled and ignorant young miss.
Rubbing her cheeks and pulling them slightly, Rosey this time didn't react as she studied Tongqiu's face and eyes instead, an equally worrying and somewhat soothing pair of eyes formed at her cute little head as she extender her little arms to silently ask Tongqiu to bring her body to hug his face.
Not taking the chance to laugh at her cute need of displaying affection, he acquiesced to the little queen whose crown has now started to re-form.
"Brr... brr... brr..."
Sounding out a few adorable, calm and silent as well as tender 'brrs', Rosey embraced the helmet-less face of Tongqiu as she slowly nuzzled against him with her arms wide open to hold her own little body from falling, even though Tongqiu's hands would always be right there to catch here, no matter what.
