Four days later....

Matt pov

The army of dredge was currently sitting below the mountain. They wouldn't be fighting though because when they were reanimated they all dropped about 15 levels and they didn't stand a chance against the grawl. In order to combat the grawl Maxin and his head lich currently had over 700 undead of various races including zombie, skeleton, wraith, and mummy.

The fight will most likely kill most of the undead because the grawl had a groups of spell casters that specialized in large number attack and defence. They each had a class that allowed them to control minions, of the five classes I only knew of one of them. They were as follows, necromancer, golemmancer, plantmancer, puppeteer, and brood master. The golem mancer could turn dead things into golems and then command them. The plant mancer could grow minions or turn regular plants into monsters and control them. The puppeteer was the weakest because the grawls tribal like culture did not afford him what he needed to build the automations that he controls, meaning he only had a few small minions to control. The brood master could turn living things into mindless beasts of ice which he could then control.

The grawl had only recently acquired these classes after the attack I launched a few days ago and only had weak minions so far but it would still take a hefty chunk out of my forces. I regret sending the attack group 4 days ago because they prepared for more attacks and gained some classes. The grawl were not stupid, simply primitive.

With a thought my army attacked. Maxin grabbed one of each flesh reavers legs and they flew him in. Maxins mission was to take out the chieftain. For this task I had given him the flesh reavers and they were fully his minions now. The scary part was that there were both level 250 and maxin was 195. The level average for the strike groups was 232. It was insanely over powered for the task I had given them but it was necessary because the flesh reavers had a trait called mating pair. They received a 40% buff to all of their stats while they were within 10 km of each other. The insane buff was offset by a 50% reduction when they were farther than that apart. They had started to make their horde or family if they were living. They were raising 2 reavers. Both were already level 80 thanks to Maxin blessing them. They had the same trait but I couldn't risk them fighting because if they died the original pair would no longer "have"(build with corpses) baby reavers do to a trait they have. Flesh reavers are odd because of the large amount of traits they have surrounding family. Very few other monsters had such things and it lead to large groups of them if given time. It was also kind of weird because they are genderless.

In the middle of the fight I all of a sudden got a notice about a situation I had set up. My village was under attack.

I rushed there and I saw something I didn't expect. My village had 7 chaos goblins. 4 more than there was a few hours ago. They were also fighting against 2 koblobs. The fucking lizards just couldn't wait. I was fine with it because they were getting absolutely destroyed. Both the koblobs and the Kelioblobs were being destroyed by groups of Wooden spear wielding goblins. The chaos goblins were using some basic strategy and had the koblobs cornered against the inside of the wall I built around the city. Which i could tell had been scaled by climbing up trees leaned against them. They were just keeping them in the corner while my favourite shocked them repeatedly. The battle was very fast resulting in a large defeat of the koblob and Kelioblob forces with only a few escaping. After the fighting the chaos goblins started knocking down the trees while another three goblins started to evolve. Seeing it was handled I went back to the future site of my city and wasn't surprised to see all the grawl had been killed. I was surprised to see that Maxin had chosen to reanimate less than half the population, what I had to admit was still 1000. The other dead went to the young flesh reavers bringing them both up to level 175.

I think the thing that surprised me the most though was the class stones. I didn't even know that they existed but apparently they became a drop when the 5 grawl died. I could use them to give someone the respective classes even though I wasn't the god that made the class. The god this tribe of grawl worshiped was weak, a mere d rank. I wasn't that worried about her being mad.

On a different note the defending grawl gave me a idea. I have Hunter and Maxin a blue print of what I wanted the city to look like before I turned my focus to watching people. It was very stalkerish but I needed certain things.

1 month later...

It's taken me a month but I have found who I need through stalking er... I mean watching people. 3 girls and one guy caught my attention for who to give the class stones to. They all agreed and has managed to meet up and start camping near lana. They were all levelling their class skills and gathering a army. They were all over level 80 and had excellent tactical minds. Loyal too.

Plantmancer:Sarah

Golemmancer: terra

Puppeteer: Grace

Brood master: Hugh

They all had their space loaded with monsters. So far.

They were currently inside of Lana because she was doing something big. She was moving to the mountain and I was using her for cheap transportation for my new defenders, or at least most of them. The fifth defender was A level 100 lich I had Maxin create and bless. He currently controlled the grawl army as well as some other monsters that had been killed.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

There was currently 6 flesh reavers and they had been hunting fast. The first pairs were level 340, 310, and 250 respectively. They were op. But to get this far they had to kill two towns. I am kinda worried that about the retaliation that is going to come soon from the hylek. The frog people worshipped a sun god and had numbers in the thousands for their army. The average level was 40 but they had some hylek champions. They were all level 150 and there was 50 of them. The army is moving towards my city already. We don't currently have many things living here but we do have a population of just over 3 thousand kodan and 2 thousand charr. Standing at ten feet tall the polar bear people were good warriors with most choosing plate armour, they were also very religious meaning lots of points for me. The 9 foot tall felines known as the charr were a warlike species where everything is about victory and everyone has a part in the war. The kodan average level is 100 and the charr's is 120.

So currently I have just over 5000 residents in a city that can currently support 300000 and it's still just in the mountain not even below it yet or building on the surface.by the time the city is finished it should support a population of around 6 million. I could make it bigger but then the environment wouldn't be able to provide enough meat for people( I use the term people loosely) to eat and for people to train. At that point I will have to expand my country. I also have a tribe of ogres that wanted to live in the old dredge city. I was letting them because whenever one of them dies the lichs get a strong minion. It was one of the largest ogre tribes for over 3000 km around so they had numbers in the 10000's they didn't want to live with other races tho so the own that city now. I'm also happy because they pray often.

I have enough points to summon 10 infernals or 25 lesser infernals. I was planning on doing something my points for a new string of evolutions after I gave my 5 defenders a present. So I went ahead and did just that. I gave the level 100 lich ten ancient yellow bone skeletons. They grew as they ate bones. He had them eat every single minion he had... They all ranked up and now he has ten destroyer skeletons. They all stood 15 feet tall and are black. They are very strong but it'll be hard to rank them up again because what he just did allowed them to skip from a rank 2 monster straight to a rank 6 monster. For hugh I gave him a drake. It was pretty cool looking when it was made out of just ice. It also brought up his chances for stronger minions. He can turn anything below his level to an ice brood. It doesn't work if they are stronger than him even if he could kill them with his other minions. The drake was level 150 tho so it was weak for a drake but not that weak over all so it should speed up his levelling. Another interesting fact is that he wears heavy armour despite being a non physical class. For Sarah I gave her three packs of sylvan hounds. The wolf like plants could help her keep her growing plants safe. For Grace I gave her 10 basic humanoid automations, they could have parts added and then their race would change. She could use them for anything she wanted right now. But it seems she made them all something I wasn't expecting. Builders. They are equipped to build more automations. Slower than a person would but still she now can grow her forces fast. As for terra I gave her 3 copper golems that were all 13 feet tall.

With the rest of my points I decided that I wanted to make a evolution that could fight in the sky's so I made a Griffen monster family.

For the basic it would be a gryfowl which would be house cat and owl and after that would be a hawk and saver tooth wild cat so it would be about 3 feet tall. After that would be a Griffen. After the griffin came the hail storm Griffen which was twice the size and could control wind and some water magic. The final evolution would be the falling star griffon. It stood 15 feet tall and could use wind water and fire magic. The falling star griffin was sentient and should reach this evolution around level 350.

Just as I finished the evolution I received a message from Hunter.

" hey Matt we might have a small problem..."

I rushed over to where I could detect he was and what I saw surprised me.

A group of draconoid stood out side the entrance to the mountain. They were asking for the "stone skin warrior" which I assumed to be Hunter. I didn't really trust it but he had his troops here and with over 50 chaos goblins and their pets backing him up I didn't think they could do anything. Either way I was ready to summon some back up should he need it. The draconoids got on their knees and started pleading with him.

After a few minutes of listening I basically learned that they wanted Hunter to be their leader. Draconoids usually Aren't sentient but they are smart monsters on par with trolls for smarts. From what I could pick out of the conversation a lich had killed the rest of their village and they wanted revenge. They had seen Hunter hunting and wanted him to lead them against the lich because he was strong. Hunter was level 115 while the average level for the other draconoids  was 80. In all honesty Hunter needs to be stronger.

After the draconoids got situated in the mountain I had Hunter lay down and I gave him a lava golem core to hold and I summoned 2 Falling star Griffins. One went up to the look out and the other one was asleep when it was summoned. I used the vell and it did wonders for Hunter. He evolved twice and became a level 210 greater draconian of the apocalypse. He was 12 feet tall and was a fucking tank, high health, strength, accuracy, and decent speed made him deadly. His wings made him mobile. And he was in his last evolution until he get reborn at level 1000 and becomes a roaming mini boss monster with a level cap of 5000 at which point he can be reborn again and become a roaming boss monster. That is very far away tho because the strongest monsters on our mountain range at the moment was a level 700 elder dragon. Thankfully it was at the far end so we won't have to fight it for a long time.

Speaking of levels Maxin is level 220. After looking around I found the lich that wiped out most of the draconoids. He is actually an elder lich so on par with my one defender and also on par with Maxins head lich. Difference is his level is higher, sitting at a crisp 165. I just had Maxin send the flesh reavers in because even the weakest is way stronger than the lich and all the bones will help them grow.

I gave Maxin a very large under ground cavern for him to... Experiment... With the vell. Yeah I kinda did that...

I still had a large amount of points leftover. So I did something I'd been wanting to do for quite a while. I started hitting on goddesses.

Three goddesses to be exact. One s rank, and two c rank. Goddess of monsters is s rank, the other two and goddesses of demons and ritual summoning.

Maybe having some lady friends would help me get what I really wanted. More power.
