The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

He stepped into the cave, filled with darkness from inside; he used the flame torch in his hand and saw that something was written on the walls in Sanskrit. He had learned Sanskrit a little and was able to read. He interpreted that they were mantras, but he had never heard mantras like them.

He used his torch to see the surroundings; he saw a man standing in a strange posture in the torchlight. His whole body was covered in ash, his long hair was tied in dreadlocks, and he had long big nails that were twisted.

He was only wearing a small piece of cloth below his waist; besides that, he wore nothing. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Vinay; the torch fell from Vinay's hand due to his surprise.

He picked up the torch again and pointed it toward the place where the Aghori was; he only saw a human skull there. He moved the torch around him and saw the man standing behind him, looking at him with his big black eyes that looked like they could devour any light that entered them.

The Aghori said in Sanskrit in a deep voice, "Who are you, Kid?"

Vinay could not understand it completely, but from the little he could understand, he interpreted what he was asking; he said, "I am Vinay Gupta, and I need your help."

"Go back, kid, don't disturb my sadhana (meditation); I will forgive you this time," said Aghori before returning to his place and standing again in the strange posture.

Vinay begged the Aghoris on his knees, "Sir, I have come from a very far place; I need your help to save my contract beast."

The Aghori replied, "I can't do what you want from me without opening his eyes. Go back; you are wasting your time."

Vinay was surprised that he had never even told Aghori his problem; then why was he denied him? He said, "I have not come to you for some selfish reasons; I am only here to save my magic beast; I only want you to turn him into an undead."

The Aghori replied, "I can't do it. Do you even know the consequences of it? It is not possible to turn a living being into the undead. Are you ready to sacrifice your contract beast?"

"And even if you succeed kid, how will you control it? It is not a living magic beast; it is undead; It will not listen to you," he added.

Vinay remained quiet for some time; he never knew that he would need to kill his contract beast to turn it into an undead. If he knew, he would have never come here. The other question was also logical: how will he control his contract beast after it turns into an undead?

The Aghori thought that Vinay had given up and continued his meditation, standing on one leg while his hands were straight and joined above his head.

Vinay said, "Sir, you must know a way; tell me what I must do to escape this situation."

After a pause, the Aghori replied, "Go back, kid. It is not something you can do. There are always ways, but they are not for you."

"I can do anything, sir; how can you judge the result before giving me a chance?" said Vinay.

The Aghori continued his meditation without saying anything; Vinay tried to convince him, but he didn't listen to anything.

In the morning, Aghori was fed up with Vinay, who disturbed him all night: "Don't test my patience, kid, leave, or I will turn you into an undead."

"I have even a better idea; I have not tasted human meat in a while," he added, licking his lips.

"Do what you want. I am not leaving till you don't help me; I even brought the best alcohol for you," said Vinay.

"See, kid, it's not like I don't want to help you; it's just that I can't tell you the way that will make you regret your whole life," said Aghori.

Vinay stayed with the Aghori for two days, where the Aghori warned him many times, but he didn't listen to anything and followed him, asking for help all day.

At last, Aghori was fed up. He said, "I will tell you the way then, but don't come to me later; even I can't reverse that."

"There is a cursed book with me; it has powerful mantras to control the dead, but to use that book, you will need to change your job class; you will never be able to use other magic."

"Tell me, kid. Are you prepared to leave your job class behind? Your dream to become Mage will go to waste; tell me if it is worthwhile to save your contract beast," asked Aghori.

Vinay closed his eyes and thought for some time before replying, "I can't be selfish now; it's just a job class. I may not be able to use normal magic again, but at least I would have my partner to share my sorrow with me."

"You are a mad kid; that book is not like a book of contracts. It's a grimoire, and you will need to make a soul contract with it to obtain it. You will never be able to leave it, even if you want to in the future; it has a female spirit of a Yakshini (a higher spirit race), which you will need to accept as your wife through a ritual, and it will curse any girl who tries to have a relationship with you."

"You don't understand how serious this situation is, kid. Do you know what happens to the owners of this type of Grimoire? Each one dies in the end as they cannot control themselves and approach other women. Yakshini curses them first, and if they don't listen, she takes care of those women."

"If the owner tries to betray her again, then Yakshini even kills him, and to make a soul contract with this Grimoire, you will need to perform a ritual for many days alone in a graveyard."

"Now you know, kid, why I was advising you to go back; this is a cursed Grimoire, and every one of them is dangerous. You have not even entered your adolescence; how will you be able to control it and yourself?"
