Ian's eyes widened as he stared blankly at the item in his hand.

These ordinary-looking yellow woolen gloves...

Could they be...?

Gulp!

Ian swallowed, several guesses flashing through his mind in an instant!

If...

If he was right, this item was the one bestowed by the God of Doraemon's blessing today!

In other words!

It was an item from the world of Doraemon!

At the thought of that,

Ian's eyes widened.

After all, there were far too many heaven-defying items in Doraemon's world: a time machine that could reverse space and time, an Anywhere Door that could take you anywhere in the world, and even a soul cane that could bring souls over!

And... the "Dictator Button," which, when pressed, could make anyone you disliked instantly disappear from everyone's minds!

There was even the Devil's Passport, which let you do whatever you wanted...

As everyone knew, a children's cartoon wasn't necessarily a fairy tale. It could also be a horror comic!

The items from Doraemon's world...

If someone took them into the real world and used them for evil,

Then... no one would be able to stop him!

After his initial delight, Ian turned his attention back to the gloves before him. In his previous life, he had worked with Doraemon merchandise, after all.

So, after just ten seconds of automatically searching his memory,

Ian had figured out...

Exactly what this item was!

[Animal Training Gloves]!

All you had to do was put on the gloves and gently stroke an animal or even a human under the chin to become a qualified animal trainer, making any animal you touched obey your commands without question.

At the thought of that,

Ian's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the pack of starving wild dogs before him, their eyes glowing green!

Just moments ago, death had threatened him at every step!

But after obtaining this item, he looked at the wild dogs again and found each one quite handsome... no... cute and docile!

Even though they were baring their teeth and glaring fiercely, wishing they could eat Ian right then.

But...

Next, Ian would turn each of them into his first source of support in this world!

He still didn't know exactly what kind of world he was in...

But judging by the warm current of energy in his body, it was most likely a world with supernatural powers!

Still... no matter where he was,

As long as he had received the God of Doraemon's blessing, he had nothing to worry about!

He would definitely adapt perfectly to this world!

And live a good life!

At the thought, Ian's gaze grew resolute. He looked ahead and broke into a serious grin.

"Bring it on! My good doggies!"

As if provoked by their "food,"

Seven or eight wild dogs pulled back their lips, revealing sharp teeth. Their fierce eyes fixed on Ian, and then...

"Grrr!"

They let out low growls from their throats, then rushed him all at once.

As though they meant to tear Ian to shreds together!

"Just what I wanted!"

Ian's gaze sharpened. Under the soothing influence of that warm energy, his original injuries had already healed considerably.

And... he felt nimble now, especially with the help of that power.

He felt as though he could easily leap across rooftops and run along walls!

So even as the pack of wild dogs swarmed him, Ian wasn't afraid in the slightest. His hands clad in the yellow woolen gloves, he watched for his chance, ready to strike!

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The wild dogs bared their teeth, drool flying from their muzzles as they opened their gaping jaws, ready to bite Ian.

But at the crucial moment, Ian dodged aside, then swiftly stroked the chin of the largest, strongest gray dog among them!

The next moment,

Something astonishing happened. In an instant, the big gray dog's eyes seemed to grow much clearer, and it looked at Ian as though it had seen its parents from when it was a pup!

But it quickly noticed that its other companions were about to attack its master!

"Ruff!"

In the blink of an eye, the big dog knocked one of its companions down and bit it hard!

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The sudden turn of events left the pack of wild dogs dumbfounded. They scattered, at a loss for what to do!

Ian's eyes lit up at the sight.

"Well done! Good doggy!"

The rest of the wild dogs scattered. They had never seen such a dog traitor before; it was a real eye-opener for them!

The big gray dog soon hurried to Ian's side, blood around its mouth, and stood guard like the most loyal of protectors.

The bitten wild dog was in a miserable state as it howled and returned to the pack.

The leader of the wild dogs wasn't very big, but it looked quite imposing. Though it didn't understand what had just happened,

It knew that a dog in its pack had betrayed it.

It fixed an imposing gaze on the big gray dog, then glanced at Ian, its eyes fierce and filled with vicious hatred!

Ian noticed, but he wasn't afraid at all!

He hadn't expected such a small dog to be the pack's leader, but that was fine. The fiercer it was, the more he liked it!

The fiercer the dog, the more help it would be to him later!

Ian declared!

Before these gloves, not a single dog could escape their merciless stroking!
