Erik stood before the creature, his mind awash with emotions and considerations. He had created this thing but wasn't sure if he could keep it alive.
One thing was sure: if he decided to keep it alive, Erik wouldn't treat it like a tool or an asset; it was a living entity that bore some part of him within it, and for sure, he wasn't going to treat him like others made with him.
As he examined the creature's shape, he could not help but assess its potential utility. Despite his distaste for such a cold analysis, this world demanded it.
The hybrid's appearance was undeniably alien, and Erik knew it needed to conceal itself among the humans. It wasn't a scary creature, but its Thaids' origins were clear. The last thing Erik wanted was for it to be chased like a monster.
The immediate concern was clothing. Erik's eyes traced the lines and curves of its body. The main problem was that its growth was an unknown variable.
If it grew too tall or weird, clothing alone would not hide its true nature. However, beyond the superficial concerns lay deeper, more practical questions. What could he make the creature do? Since it had no brain crystal power, it meant it was at a disadvantage. It could hunt weaker monsters, sure; it was intelligent, but it was clear he couldn't bring it with him on dangerous quests.
The system had promised that the hybrid would possess all of Erik's knowledge and skills and half his physical statistics upon reaching maturity.
There would be no need to teach it to fight or to teach it about Thaids and the world they lived in.
That alone was a great advantage and would save Erik a lot of time.
However, as the young man noticed he was thinking of it as disposable, he stopped what he was doing. Then he looked at it. Its curious gaze made his heart soften as the creature looked at him like a kid would look at the world.
