Tamed Monsters’ Egg

Parents: Olto, Sakura

“Holy cow! Olto and Sakura gave birth!”

In LJO, the story went something like this: while nurturing compatible monsters on the same ranch or home base, their magic sometimes fused together to create an egg. This was probably the devs’ way of making things kid-friendly. I remembered this fact clearly due to the lack of any sort of mating or reproductive behavior in the monsters. Olto and Sakura were both humanoid monsters that hailed from fairy-type races; in that regard, you could say they were highly compatible. Additionally, monsters could only breed once in their lifetime. That meant this would be Sakura and Olto’s first and last egg. To make up for that, Monster Breeding was apparently more effective than the Summoner-specific system, Monster Synthesis, although I still wasn’t clear on the details...

“Wonder what their child will look like?” I wondered dreamily. If it was a gnome, I could think about expanding my farm. If it was a tree nymph, it would stabilize my party even more during battles. In any case, it was a win-win scenario. There was also the possibility that it would be an entirely new species, although my money was on it being another humanoid monster.

“Can’t believe I don’t even get to watch it hatch.”

This was something I learned from the forums; apparently, no one had ever witnessed the moment an egg obtained from Monster Breeding hatched; one moment, there was an egg, the next, there was a new creature. During the beta test, several players had attempted to monitor their monsters for hours on end, but no eggs hatched while they were looking.

“Gotta get an incubator for this baby!”

Leaving the others in charge of the farm, I stowed the egg away in my inventory and rushed off to the Magical Beasts Guild.

“Welcome,” Barbara greeted me.

“So you’re in charge today,” I replied. I was in luck. For some reason, the guild was a lot busier than normal, with five other players present besides me. While that might not seem like a lot, I was usually the only visitor when I showed up, which meant there were six times more people than usual. Out of the five, four of them were women, which was a distinct characteristic of Tamers and Summoners. Most of the players had chosen this class for cute monsters, after all.

“Hey, that’s...”

I spotted a player carrying a familiar basket on their back. It was the same basket I’d borrowed when I accepted the trash-picking quest a while ago. Perhaps they were a beginner. Good luck, mate. You’re in for a tedious task. I silently cheered them on.

“What brings you here today?” Barbara inquired.

“Well, my monsters laid an egg.”

“How wonderful! Congratulations. Would you like an incubator then?”

“Yes, please. Could you show me the ones for personal use?”

“Before that, how about reporting a few quests as complete?”

“Huh?”

According to the list that Barbara showed me, I had two quests I could complete right then:
