Lucas and the wolf are now in a stand-off. The wolf was five times larger than the average, the paw itself is big enough to cover a human head. We all know the weapons of a wolf, it's their teeth and claws, and oh boy it's large.

As the wolf circled to find an opportunity to attack Lucas, in the other Lucas was still bewildered about the size of the wolf then suddenly the usual notification interrupted the whole mood.

[Player in Combat Detected. Players are advised, entities such are monsters and the like are attracted to your core inside your chest. Once your core breaks, the entity you're in will be inoperable.]

'Well, that kinda makes sense. If they are attracted to me then going out of the dungeon is dangerous. No, being me is dangerous they are attracted to cores for a god damn reason. The dungeon core must be a nice snack to them.'

'Cores aside though I need to go out here alive at least.

Lucas then slowly walks to the side circling together with the wolf. 'I need a weapon, a stick or a stone perhaps.' Lucas then looked around carefully not to ignore the wolf a second longer. Lucas has no chance of defeating the wolf by himself.

The wolf has been aware of the situation of Lucas (automaton) and sprung towards Lucas, with his claws aimed towards Lucas's chest. It was destroyed upon impact, watery rainbow alike liquid poured out of his chest most likely from the core.

Lucas could see the light of the outside world flickering as he lost connection with the automaton outside.

'What the fuck! I was killed, wait for no my avatar was killed shit. I should've run.' But the truth was Lucas was shocked and was so scared when the Wolf pounce on him. It was a fight he couldn't win.

Lucas now started to have a grudge against the wolf. 'Damned you, Wolf, sooner or later I will kill you.' Lucas calls all of his automatons back to his chamber and he started to think about how to execute his revenge.

Things were just moving too fast that Lucas himself forgot he just has been reincarnated there, it was his first day and now he have a rival. Something does not feel right but Lucas didn't see it.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

After a while, Lucas has made a list of preparations for his assault, and for that, he needs a lot of things. First are weapons, they cant defeat the wolf with their bare hands, can they? But before acquiring weapons they need to know how to make weapons and decide what weapons are they gonna use.

'Shit, I haven't thought of that. The only viable materials to us are rock and sticks. Then let's try creating a spear then, with its length it and the sharpness of its point we could at least stab an animal.'

Lucas then proceeds to use possess on one of the automatons. "The rest follow me." Said Lucas.

Lucas and the rest of the automatons marched out from the chamber and went towards the exit of the cave.

Upon arrival, Lucas was disappointed. It was now dark a sign that it is now night a bad time to go outside especially in this wild world.

'Damnit, I don't wanna lose another automaton again.' Lucas turned around and told the others. "All of you go back to the Core Chamber." Lucas then stopped using Posses and left the automata to watch the doorway to spot intruders coming in.

'Wait, speaking of automata could I spawn another one? It says 9/10 maybe I could, let's try.' "Summon"

[Summoning failed: Lacks Biomatter] 'Biomatter? well, that's new what is it?'

[Player thought detected. Biomatter is required to create another form of life. Biomatter could be acquired by bringing matter that has a biological origin and absorbing/consuming it in the dungeon.]

'I see so I could not spam summon lol, that will be overpowered. Then should I gather plants outside and bring them here? Plants are a living thing so they still count as biomatter.'

But let's wait for daylight and also it will be nice to gather sticks so that we could start making spears.

Lucas then waited for the dawn while waiting he was trying to remember or think how to make spears. It may seem easy but for a modern man like Lucas, techniques of making spears are not available to them. After a while of critical thinking, Lucas decided that they will make wooden spears.

For it is easy to make by sharpening on its end but the problem that it may not be effective. But having something is better, they might not even attack the wolf at this point. Lucas is still weak.

'It's weird staying in one room and not moving even an inch, this might be the reason why dungeon's in novels or games are luring people inside so that they could have fun by killing them at least. But I don't wanna kill anyone, I still have a heart of a human.'

As Lucas was getting so bored that he decided to check on his summons. By using the link he could see what they see but the rest of his summons are inside of his chamber and spectating what they see does not help to ease his boredom.

So he transferred to the one left in the gateway, the view of the automaton was so dark. With some rays of light visible from the moon, it made the view so majestic that Lucas's boredom have gone in an instant.

So Lucas just stared at it for the whole evening till.
