Leon stood at the entrance of a crumbling stone ruin, hidden deep within the Shadowvale Forest.
> [You have discovered the Forgotten Shrine.]
[Warning: This location has been abandoned for centuries. Few have set foot here and survived.]
He smirked.
> "Perfect."
This place had been a mystery even in his past life. Most players ignored it, thinking it was just a decorative ruin. But Leon knew better.
Buried within these ancient stones was a Legendary Tamer Skill—one that no one had ever found before.
> "Merge… If I remember correctly, it should be inside."
He stepped forward, his golden eyes scanning the surroundings.

A Test of Worth
The air was thick with mana, and the deeper he went, the more he felt an unseen presence watching him.
Suddenly—
> [You have triggered an Ancient Trial.]
[Prove your worth as a Beast Tamer.]
The ground shook, and from the shadows, three massive beasts emerged.
> [Guardian Beasts of the Shrine]
Obsidian Fangwolf (Level 75, Elite)
Twilight Serpent (Level 78, Epic)
Crimson Warbear (Level 80, Epic)
Leon grinned.
> "You think this is enough to stop me?"
With a flick of his wrist, he summoned Raigun, the Divine Lion, and Nyx, the Phantom Stalker.
> Raigun (Level 95, Mythic) - The air crackled with divine energy as his golden mane shimmered.
Nyx (Level 72, Epic) - A shadowy blur, nearly invisible in the dim light.
> "Tear them apart."
The battle was swift and brutal.
Raigun's lightning-infused roar sent the Warbear flying, its fur burning from the divine energy. Nyx teleported behind the Fangwolf, slicing through its throat before it could react.
Within minutes, the Guardian Beasts lay dead.
> [Trial Completed.]
[You have proven your worth.]
The ruin rumbled, and a hidden chamber opened ahead.
> "Finally."

The Legendary Skill: Merge
Inside the chamber, an ancient stone tablet rested atop an altar, glowing with golden light.
Leon stepped forward, his heartbeat quickening.
> [You have discovered the Lost Tamer Skill: Merge.]
[Legendary-Grade Skill]
He touched the tablet, and golden text engraved itself into his mind.
> [Skill: Merge]
Description: Allows the user to fuse multiple tamed beasts into a single, more powerful beast.
Limitations:
Can only be used once.
The resulting beast will always be Legendary-Grade.
Once merged, the fused beast cannot be undone.
Leon exhaled slowly.
> "A one-time-use skill, huh? No room for mistakes."
His gaze shifted to his beast roster.
> "Which ones will I fuse?"
