So..

  Please tell me, what are the chances of you being transmigrated to different universe and be in part of stand-in of the group pet drama like those in novel?

  The answers should be zero.

  And i unfortunately so very lucky to experience both.

  Looking at the cold faced girl in front of me, my heart feel empty.

  Lets rewind to what happen this morning.

  This morning is the 5th day of School vacation. Me, dad, mom and big brother booked a restaurant for us to eat together.

  Its to celebrate my 18th birthday today. This day officially marked my 10years coming to this alternate world.

  8year ago, I come here with my 10year old body. As for why its not when im still a baby or to my current 25+ age.. its author arrangement, cough.

  This should be an usual event we do on my birthday, eating out together like previous years. Sometime when my big sister come home from her mission in the Millitary. The five of us will eat on this restaurant together.

  My family once asked the young me, why i don't want to celebrate my Birthday by making a party. afterall their family are quite rich and its not a problem to make a big one and invite many people.

  But the real me are socially uncomfortable and a bit introverted.

  Its good to be ordinary. I even declined my dad offer to buy me a high-star quality Extraordinary Creature cub by using dad connection.

  All my classmate are using free eggs given by school, i can't imagine the akwardness of being different than other, become a focus of conversation and there's a chance to evoke jealousy and being pointed at.

  My current relationship with my classmate are also bad, just like a replika of my previous life. But, living twice, i still don't know the reason why.

  This year, is quite special. Starting from today, my future life are going to be bleak, because the true daughter of Shen Family, Shen Yue, are back...

  ===;===;===;===;===;===;===;

  "A-Yue, my pitiful daughter, im so sorry for you. As a parents, we are incompetent and lost you when you are 10years old.

  Mom and dad utilize our family connections to find you, but we can't find your location, your big sister even use her merit in the Military to rent a tracking Beast Pet, but to no avail.

  Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

  Your mom is so grief stricken back then and become hysteric, so we could only adopt a girl with similiar appearance to replace you.", said dad while glancing at me.

  Shen Yue also looked at me. I could feel their gaze, even when i look down at my feet.

  "after years of medication and therapy, your mother finally accepted that her daughter indeed gone missing, nonetheless she still hoping for your return in her heart.

  Now that she find you, her guilt got to the best of her, and once again making her hospitalized.

  Once your mother feel better, we will compensate you, for these years we aren't by your side". Dad said guiltyly holding his long lost daughter hand.

  Now i know why i traveled here to the age of 10. So the "me" are adopted.

  Is it wrong to hope that this is all a nightmare? Afterall.. Mom, dad, big sister and big brother all have familiar face, the same as my previous family on earth.

  And now you told me than even though every life trajectory is the same, im not actually a part of this family and just a stand-in?

  I..

  Unconsciously tear fallen to my clenched hand. I stand up and walk out hoping to get some fresh air in this unbelievable situation.

  "Where are you going, Qi-er?"

  Even the nickname big brother called me changed...

  Taking a deep breath and wiped my tears secretly, i answer, "There's must be a lot of things dad and big brother want to talk about to miss Shen, ah no to big sister Yue. I will take my leave now."

  Its fine if big brother keep silent. Now that he ask, i feel like i can't hold back my sadness and want to go home and hide in the blanket to cry my heart out.

  Looking at the sky outside of hospital with my swollen eye, i take a taxi to go home. Looking at the still egg in the little nest, i took the egg, and hug it.

  I feel a bit better now.

  Its okay, its good to still alive. Beside, i still have my friend best friend in the school and this egg.

  The beast hatched will accompany me in this life, afterall it will be binded to the soul of its Beast Tamer.

  "Hatch soon okay?" Murmur me while dozing of to sleep.

  Crack...

  The egg moved slightly.

  ===;===;===;===;===;===;===;

  Ang ang ang!

  Hmm?

  The bird this morning didn't sound right.

  Did i traveled again?

  When i open my eyes, i didn't realize i slept with my glasses on, fortunately it didn't break.

  Cleaned my glasses with difficulty, i wear it back and could see a small palm sized Green Chrocodile cub on top of my thigh.

  Ang! Ang! Ang!

  Ohh so its the chrocodile cry.

  Silly me.

  I remove my glasses to the bedside Table and lie down to continue sleeping...

  But wait!

  I woke up with a start and wear my glasses back!

  Picking up the arm sized long green Croc with my two hands. I don't know what to do right now.

  It opened the mouth full of teeth and cry loudly.

  Ang! Ang! Ang!

  ?

  "You must be hungry, let me take the meat cookies i bought for you, to eat."

  Putting down the Croc on the bedside table, i opened my phone and take a quick search of the different between male and female gender of River Swamp Chrocodile.

  The egg hatched are of that male Croc.

  Standing up, i opened the blanket to see if there's an egg shell in the bed.

  I don't want to be pricked by it when Im sleeping, fortunately it seem that the Croc are sensible and eat it clean.

  After giving him some Meat cookies, i freshen up myself and walk downstairs, taking my newly hatched Beast Pet in my hand.

  There's a laughter in the living room.

  "Mom, dad, big brother... sister Yue, good morning."

  Their laughter come to a stop.

  "Y- Qi-er, come here.", Mom take my hand and make me sit in her right side.

  Shen Yue, her biological daughter sit in her left side.

  "Mom got better last night and got discharged from the hospital early. Is this the beast you got from the school? Its green color... Very pleasing to the eye", praise her.

  "Yes, he should have hatched while im sleeping."

  "That's good, have you given it a name?"

  Smiling helplessly, i rub his green scaly head, "This little guy eat 3 big chunk of Meat Cookies in one go, chewing it happily. So i want to name him Taotie.

  "Taotie? Sound good." dad nodded his head.

  "Come put Taotie on the table over there, let it meet your big brother Fire Dog, dad's Thorny Lizard and mom's Crystal Butterfly"

  ?

  ?

  "Okay, mom."

  While she putting her green Swamp River Crocodile and let it greet the Family's Pet. Shen Yue looked at this sister who have 90% similarity with her, with envy and jealousy.

  She's also 18 this year, but the condition didn't allow her a chance go to school, so its impossible to have a Beast egg.

  And her new family also didn't talk anything about giving her an Extraordinary Creatures nor talking about my enrollment to school.

  Deep in her heart, Shen Yue blame her Family.

  She doesn't remember what happened back then, but she thought that her family abandoned her.

  she wait and keep waiting for them to find her and take her away from that dark place, but no, they never came.

  A dark red light passed on her eyes,

  It seem that life will be interesting from now on, right?

  Touching the small tattoo in her left wrist, Shen Yue smiled mockingly.
