The little screen appeared in front is like a computer but in my brain. This is new but a good commander must always adapt according to the screen I have option to summon defenders for my ‘body’. when I want to summon something all I need to do is first say ‘open summon’ then ‘summon .” Open summon” waving my invisible hand as if praying to the old Gods.

“Hmm special summon, ME LIKEY!”. But there are some complications, I would choose dragonkin, but skill called Pride of a dragon looks suspicious to me. It might not like being under me and try to eat my core or not listen to my orders.

Spirt would be nice and powerful, will probably follow me but it seems like part of the physical immunity also means it can’t do anything physical as cold touch from what I’m reading is just cost mana, it makes me looks like an undead dungeon, that would be problematic.

The ratkin seems bad at first but it is better from slime, wolf, or goblin. Coordination is the real gold here ratkin can cooperate with each other making a squad of them more effective that a bunch of goblin or slime. I wonder why wolves don’t have that skill?

“Summon Ratkin!” shouting in the air, a bright light shines from some indiscreet location disappearing and a ratkin kneeling replaced its location “it’s alive! Its alive!” laughing maniacally as the occasion warranted, I let my guard down.

Walking down the old pathway near the capital is group of adventures, Mino a man whose height is as tall as a young tree, muscles that are as tick as stones, clothed in black tunic and brown pants a large mace snuggly sit beside it. Liliana a woman in unbelievably white robe, long black hair braded and pinned by an unseen force, a long white staff on her left hand. Mike A young hunter in every sense of the word from his bow on his back to the leather armor he’s wearing. And a withered old man wearing a pristine purple robe with a dark wood staff on his right hand

“This better be right little priest” said Mino leading the group, “I told you about the signs in my prophecy as a lined so far so why worry now” replied the priestess. “Were here to collect the dungeon core why do you need to fight? Moving around a bramble patch the arch-mage noticed a bright light” silences the first summons is already here” gesturing to mike.

My ratkin stands “I greet my liege….”, a sharp arrow wheeze past the wind landing in my ratkin heart.” What? why…? how?”. unable to process what just happened, a withered looking old man picked my bean sized core leading to me losing consciousness.

“That was easy “Mino stepping over corpses of a ratkin. “Easy to get the core yes the hard part is making sure we get back safe” replied the arch-mage.” The half a day journey back?” stated mike with a confidence grin on his face. “Yes, were with the arch-mage prime target with a war on” replied sarcastically by the young priestess.

! Congratulations on obtaining the following!

Slit Core

Advance mana generation

Sub Mind

Warning!

Dungeon core integrity compromised lost innate ability set dungeon area.

Mana generation will be limited to size of dungeon core.

Dungeon core size unable to compute.

My head is throbbing, and my mind feels like is going through a grinder. “Waking up is this how a hangover feels like” how would I know Ares IV didn’t have alcohol since it is all used for fuel or used as cleaning agent in the meditent.” When did I have Vision? “.

Looking around there is two screen or more accurate a split screen but instead on a television it’s on my eyes.” Is this how spider see. How do they live”. The left one is a podium, a planetarium. It’s a circular room a big globe in the center I’m in the center.

“That was weird” when I focus on this side, I feel like being whole again and when I move to the right side it feels like I’m splitting.” Hmmm maybe that’s the result of the split core and sub mind. On the right it’s just green liquid” mysterious and I don’t like unknown variables”

“Hmm let’s try something new status”

! STAUTS!

HP: 10,000/10,000 HP:10/100 MP:1,000,000/1,000,000 MP:30/30

Regeneration rate:

HP: 100/s HP:100/hr.

MP:1000/s MP:1000/s

“That looks wired but okay”, I guess having two cores can’t be bad. “Lest focus on the right core first mystery is always something bad”. Moving my consciousness to the right core, what to do first. “I can’t see so, Summon Ratkin! “The light appeared again.

>>>>>Congratulation<<<<<<

You successfully summoned a rakin squad leader!

“My liege I am here to serve” a rat kin wearing newly made leather armor, newly made iron tipped spear was kneeling in a foot deep swear water. “that’s great umm could you look for me I’m almost dead. I replied with some trepidation.

The ratkin manage to find my core after some time. “my liege please be at ease I shall protect you with my life.” The ratkin seem too loyal to me let me try something too naming” ratkin for your loyalty I shall give you a name!” silent glee on my ‘face’. The ratkin kneels presenting its spear to me? “Right your name shall be ‘Ward’ this means guardian”

The ratkin or rather Ward, made an interesting preposition usually I’m only able to summon one ratkin but having a squad leader means more ratkin.

I summon more ratkin, with a brilliant flash of light three more ratling shows up, one with another spear, one with a shield and the last one armed by a bow and sling.

“We need to set up a base” Ward commanded the others. “Right please find a suitable location I will be back when my HP recovers” I leave the left core and look at the right core.

Moving forward with the shield and Ward at front, the core and archer in the middle and the last spearrat watching the back. They moved slowly hearing multiple sounds of different animals and creatures.

The first encounter of the group is a lizardman, wearing a scarp clothes as if a tribal man, a crude club on his right. The shieldrat rushed over to bash and pin the lizardman while the Ward keeps attacking the lizardman right hand, while the three tussle an arrow whizzed pass through hitting the lizardman on the eye.

The group only encountered group of two or the lone lizardman walking through the straight tunnel until reaching a wide area, that has two entrance one the tunnel they just walk through and another tunnel leading to unknown.

“This will our base for now bow and spear watch each entrance and hand over my liege to me” command Ward again to the squad of ratkin.

“What are you doing?” my voice transformed in text and a box near the console where a man in robes is busy with doing something. The man looks up and reply “I am just checking if there are breaches in the shield and to see what your status are” replied the man.

“Where am I?” I asked knowing this man will probably answer my question. “you’re in the central wizard tower where the new capitol shield is powered by you.” He replied with a slightly different tone in his voice. “How can I see my status?” I asked absentmindedly. “I don’t know” he replied in a scared tone of voice. “I need to go report something to the archimage” he said in hurry going to the door.

Do you wish to level up?

[Yes] [No]

“Yes, please but will happen when I start to level uuuuuppppp?” a feeling like going to sleep it’s not unpleasant just unexpected.

“Listen here you maggots!” shouts the lieutenant while hovering in front of our company. “You may have finished basic training with melee, plasma enhanced or not but that does not mean where done here in the next month you will learn basic tactics.” Said the lieutenant his voice transmitted directly in our ears by our standard issue helmet.

“You should listen well less you shoot your brothers in the back!”. The lieutenant gave the general outline of the next month of training. Being with logistics and strategy we are given a few more liberties but that also means more leaning, they taught us squad to squad tactics to war scale tactics. Why did they separate teaching melee and range weapons? Something to think about as I deep deeper in a seemingly endless blackness
