I keep walking around until I reach a small forest that is near the town, might find an interesting monster or two, hopefully a bird of some kind, could use it as a scout or maybe even ride it if large enough.

  As I reached the forest I start to hear many monsters, this is gonna be good, I enter it, keeping my guard up and having my skeletons fight every monsters dumb enough to come after us, we might be a little too powerful for this area, oh well, still free exp and a potential monster.

  curious, I'm pretty sure this forest wasn't that big, maybe I'm lost, or the void's influence somehow changes some parts of the world, great.

  I see a bunch of monsters ahead, a couple of birds seemingly made of water for one of them, steel for another one, the second to last one is made of jade and the last one is made of some kind of weird fluid rock thing, I found my bird.

  I mean they are pretty small and as such I'm not riding it any time soon, but it should still be useful.

  I use one of my tentacles to bind the 4 birds (a tentacle each) and come out of hiding with my skeletons.

  They look... disturbed, scared... I like it.

  "So, do they understand me or not, it would be quite useful right now."

  they look at me like they are seeing their nightmares come true, that's weird, this bullshit title is in effect even out here, interesting, should make the whole thing easier.

  I send a strand of void energy to the water bird, if the process is similar to what the beastmen do with their beasts, it should be good.

  Refused, refused, refused, again and again it refuses.

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  That's it, I'm killing one of them, let's go with the steel one.

  I use the tentacle around it to break it's bones by applying as much pressure as I can, it didn't take long.

  I try again, but once more, it refuses.

  let's try something else, the other two birds, let's be a bit gentler with them, maybe it'll be more receptive after that.

  I loosen their tentacles a bit and let them move a little, but not for the water one, it probably realised that they didn't move to much and I let them have a bigger range of movement, so maybe it'll relaxe a bit.

  it relaxed and I loosen it a bit, but keep 2 more tentacles at the ready should it try anything.

  I try again.

  Refused, AGAIN!

  "THAT'S IT, THEY DIE!"

  I send my skeletons to kill the other two birds while my tentacles keep them from moving.

  I use this time to basically throw my void energy in the water bitch (bird).

  Okay cool, finally have a pet (slave), but what monster is it.

  okay cool, just realised that you said that the gods cower and titans because they failed, failed what?

  ...No answer, okay fine, I guess it has to do with me being a honest asshole... sometimes.

  Anyways, let's explore this forest for a few days, watey (water fourdium) move your ass and follow me.
