After the briefing, Robin, Marcus and Silk were in a prep room as they read up on danger areas of the city to know the areas of high and low crime traffic as well as getting their suit systems connected to the city's police network so that they can be informed.
They were not vigilantes. All three were told to work as strongmen so they wouldn’t be ‘neighborhood heroes’ as many people called trainees and vigilantes.
Strongmen moved large distances over the city and reacted to most things.
At the same time, Robin was still trying to fold himself when Marcus frowned and confronted him about it.
“Why are you trying to fold yourself in when you already compress yourself to absurd limits to do your spring punch?” he asked.
“Well the spring is… uh…” Robin didn’t know how to reply to that and scratched his head.
“How do you even compress it?” Silk asked.
“From the inside out.” he said and pulled the sleeve back and very quickly his arm spun and twisted forming a very compressed arm spring.
He held his wrist and slowly pulled a single ‘ring’ while maintaining the compression and they saw just how condensed it had become. It was barely as thick as his own bones clearly showing Robin did a lot.
He unwrapped his arm and just compressed his arm like he normally would but for some reason he found it hard.
“Maybe your stretching has a role in pulling it thin.” Silk said.
Robin didn’t say anything as he removed the gauntlets and boots and began to rotate his two energies and maintained a calm breath and started at his hands and soon they saw the top digits compress by about 30% until they actually hardened and went down to 30% the original size.
It went down digit by digit until it reached his hand where all the bones were compressed and he groaned before his muscles, blood vessels and all the rest of his body compressed and in the process he actually hardened his body.
After that it went up the arm and he was left with short small arms like a child and it finally reached his chest and he began to feel the strangeness.
When his bones were compressed, his torso looked like that of someone with dwarfism but slowly his muscles and organs slowly compressed but not to the same intensity, he soon reached his limit at about 40% the original size so he released just enough to feel normal and feel no difficulties and than adjusted his arms before doing his head and legs. Eventually he had to even compress his nerves and blood vessels to appropriate size and when he was done he barely crossed 70 cm in height and his clothing was baggy and his visors were naturally falling off.
“I really can shrink!” He said but his voice was much higher due to the compression and he coughed because he wasn’t used to the compressed lungs and had to slowly ‘tune’ his voice until it returned to his normal tone without decompressing his voice box.
“Well that clears the requirements for invasion but… your clothing…” Silk said, bending over to the baby sized classmate.
“System, can the visors adjust to a small size?” Robin asked
“Visor adjusting, please maintain the visor at eye level and against the back of the head.” it replied.
He lifted it and put the back against his head and they all saw the glass withdraw before the machine parts started to move and basically restructured around his head until it was properly snug fit around more of his head before the visor came out.
“It’s covering more of my head, seems Techno expected the flexible shape shifting and designed it with this possibility.” Robin said. “Can the suit tighten to my small size though?” He asked.
“Tightening armor to current size.” it replied and he felt the neck tighten until it was like before and it slowly went down his body and it pulled until it was perfectly against his body at his size.
Of course Robin was completely hardened to maintain this and he also couldn’t stretch. He knew he couldn’t stretch because he was still consciously trying to maintain this shape.
“When I get back, I'm going to need to find some kind of trait that will possibly enhance this. It is too valuable of a capacity to not exploit it as well but I can't stretch like this and I need to stay hardened to maintain this form as well.” He said and looked at the boots and gauntlets before sighing and as expected, putting both legs into them loosely they began to morph and literally turned into a single object while the gauntlets turned into a suit of armor.
“As expected of techno.” Marcus said.
“Warning, due to the current form of both the gauntlets and boots, their original functions are currently inoperable. Form was assumed for adaptive transport only. They will be required to return to normal for the user to use their weapon forms.” the system said.
“Even so, the flexibility of his technology is quite scary to say the least but it breeds so many possibilities if I can properly adapt to this shape.” Robin said.
“Hey, tech is good but don’t forget that your own strength is key.” Silk said and pointed at what was left of his exposed forehead.
Soon Chasm Might came in and was shocked to find the state Robin was in until he was filled in before nodding, “This is perfect, the vent isn’t going to be such a massive squeeze anymore and this look… it almost looks like a different hero altogether so it is perfect for disconnecting your face from others.” Chasm Might said.
“It does restrict my rubber abilities but I still have my own strength so I can still do this.” Robin said.
With a nod he assigns the other two a patrol route. He will get a disguise for himself so that he doesn’t call much attention. “I won’t be able to follow you kids around. This is a live internship but you three and I will be connected on a secure channel and I will have your viewpoints constantly visible so expect me butting in at any point.” He warned them.
“Yes sir!” they said and soon the two few off.
Robin had to be careful but he still had the same weight as before, it was just compressed into a small size but even so, it improved his control in flight because he had less to move around. His air resistance was much lower as well.
Since he was going to do the mission given to him, he also had several tiny closed up drones stored so he didn’t leave them behind before he left.
After a bit, getting used to moving like that, he headed off on his own towards the vent.
***
In the dark mist of the land of death in central america Milo rode on Bargo’s steed with him controlling the beast while in front of him, his many skeleton warriors were rushing forward like cavalry and burst through a swarm of skeleton warriors and every attack aimed for their skulls to shatter and release the soul.
Milo watched carefully on all sides. This was primarily because he was in search of other undead. He had already encountered three zombie hordes and two skeleton hordes and decimated them all. They were weak but that didn’t mean all the members were weak. Among these hordes also hide some dangerous elements.
WOOSH!
At that moment, from within the swarm of skeletons, a powerful surge of death energy burst out making a clearing around a singular skeleton that was bare of any equipment.
“Huh… that skeleton seems strange.” Milo said.
“Sir, that is an immature skeleton mage.” Bargo said.
“Are you sure?” Milo asked.
“Yes sir, it’s soul is actually inactive like all the others but it possesses an abnormal amount of spiritual energy which is what gathers death energy around it to protect it.” He said.
“I see, so that is how it works. In that case… Knight’s clear all the skeletons except that one!” He ordered.
The movement changed and they began to clear everything except that skeleton. It reacted only to danger to itself, not to others. Even the other skeleton warriors cleared away from it as they tried to attack the enemy but that one didn’t move.
Milo got down and watched it curiously.
“Bargo, are you really sure that thing is not sentient?” He asked.
“Yes master, it is 100% not sentient. If it was, it would have long since attacked. Although undead death knights are cruel to the living, non sentient undead can only react on instinct. It can only gather death energy to increase its defense, that is all. If it truly was a proper skeleton mage then it would have long since enhanced the skeleton warriors with death energy and if it was a death mage, it would have used death mana to greatly enhance them.” Bargo explained.
“I see. So would adding a bond link be considered a danger?” Milo asked.
“No but non sentient undead react to living beings so it would likely attack you.” He explained.
“Right.” he said.
He waited for the horde to fall to the last, leaving only the field of bones before they approached.
When he reached 100 meters from it, the skeleton instantly looked at Milo and groaned as the death energy gathered the surrounding bones and threw them at him.
It was a very mediocre form of using bone arrows and spears.
Bargo casually hit the things away as the skeleton knights surrounded it and bargo went closer until it gathered its power to once more defend itself.
Bargo jumped down with Milo and he drew his sword.
He walked around it and raised the sword and made sure he released an intense intent to kill it and it focused completely on him.
Milo instantly started to work and activated his necromancy and quietly chanted a binding spell that the teachers had taught him.
He didn’t know if he needed that but he felt it was safer to do that to invading undead compared to those he personally summoned.
His ability mixed with the spell and with a faint hollowed light of spiritual energy and death energy mixed at the end of the staff, it shot the light at the skeleton’s head. It tried to block it but the energy just went around the arm it moved to block and hit the head making it freeze.
The death energy coat instantly started dispersing as Milo worked and slowly wrapped the soul.
He frowned at how innately strong the soul was.
“No wonder death mage and Lich are considered the most dangerous undead.” He muttered as he slowly bonded it and finally put it under control. When it was finally in his control, he walked forward. Bargo was still on the alert as Milo touched the forehead and gathered his spiritual energy and shot a brand into the soul which would allow him to summon it under his complete control.
Pulling back, he used his bond to open a gateway to the nether realm and forced the undead through. It had escaped so it wasn’t easy to put it back where it belonged but once it fully crossed he sighed. He recalled all the knights and sighed.
When he had no stress left, he called the skeleton mage under his complete control and he instantly felt the amount of control he had to have to maintain control of it.
“Amazing, it is worse than non sentient skeleton warriors but its soul is as strong as yours just before you became a skeleton knight.” he said.
“Indeed, skeleton mages are dangerous beings and even a skeleton mage is carefully received with respect from what I heard. As long as they are sentient, other undead are careful around them.”
“That’s good to know, I also need to exercise caution if others do the same. Still, its bones aren’t exactly that good, do you know how they are ‘grown’?” He asked.
“From what I know, almost 100% of their power stems from building a magical staff. I know not how it is built but just strengthening the skeleton until it becomes sentient is already enough for it to enter a city and be able to search and purchase for this method. Besides that, it will probably be active in its search for the dark arts to become stronger.” he explained.
“Do you know how they grow?” He asked.
Bargo let out a minor groan, “Skeleton mage are known to drain other undead of their spiritual energy and as death mage, they even drain death mana to increase their capacity. In some cases, they even breed and farm undead so they can harvest their souls and energy.” He said.
“Hmm… that is pretty dangerous. It could render all my work over the last decade to nothing if it did that randomly.” he said.
“Master, I believe searching for knowledge from the great lord is very helpful. He possesses a Lich so he has likely also faced this difficulty.” He said.
“That’s true. We will leave it as it is for the time being. You, don’t attack anything with my brand in the nether realm.” He said to the undead before being sent back.
After that Milo climbed on the horse once more.
“Master, you’ve collected a few undead until now. Although they are much weaker than the ones you’ve bred, there are many you can make use of.” He said.
“I know, I am aware. For the time being I am only looking at the slightly more unique ones. The most promising is that ghoul that was a pain to catch. That said, I need the growth of my minions to grow so it doesn’t do me much good to obtain an already powerful undead.” he said.
BOOM!
Before they could say anymore, the entire ground shook and they both looked into the mist and saw a massive shadow.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Their eyes raised as they looked for the top but all they found was a single glaring red light through the mist.
Milo instantly turned pale as he saw that. “BONE GOLEM! RUN!” he shouted and Bargo instantly turned tail and ran.
“NEIGH!” The horse instantly released flames from its legs as it rushed towards the gate while the giant roared behind them and instantly rushed after them.
Bone Golem’s are an immense threat and at the same time, they are the ‘base material’ Vincent had used to forge his giant death knights at the gate of Necropolis.
It was almost 10 meters tall and massively bulky while composed of tens of thousands of bones it slowly gathered as it destroyed other undead. Eventually these bones get compressed into a singular mass.
Milo turned and raised his hand and instantly a distortion formed. “Scar! Stop it!” he shouted as the distortion formed. The golem rushed rapidly until it was almost over them before Scar suddenly rushed through roaring.
It slammed into it instantly and stopped it’s advance and instantly connected it’s wing claws on the body and roared as acid breath gathered along with intense death energy in the air and released.
His scales were immune to that acid smog but the bone golem wasn’t and it instantly roared and grabbed at Scar. The dragon clawed up the body but was grabbed at the tail and pulled off before getting slammed on the ground but it quickly turned and, with its tail the golem was gripping, he swung its body and unbalanced the giant.
It let it loose and Scar roared in anger as it jumped on its back and clawed at the head region revealing internal parts before gathering actual flames and raining down and melting the bone matter.
The acid had already weakened it but the flames charred the bone even more and it began to collapse before suddenly shaking.
At this point Milo was already pretty far and raised his hand and recalled Scar.
It received the order and stopped spewing flames before allowing Milo to call it back, leaving the damaged bone golem.
The singular glowing eye raised up and shined through the mist at Milo and he felt the pressure and rage. This was a sentient undead and it now venomously hated him but as it got up, suddenly a massive black bone spear surged from overhead and pierced it through the glowing eye before blowing up.
Milo and Bargo stopped in shock before he turned to the source and found one of the necromancy teachers.
“It is good that you are safe, good job handling that bone golem so well.” He said. “You could have finished it off though, why didn’t you?” he asked.
“Bone golems aren’t singular skeletons, although their bodies are compacted bone they are still many bones. When they get desperate, they turn all that extra matter into extremely dangerous spikes and blow them to all sides if you can’t finish it instantly so I recalled my death dragon before that happened so I did not lose it. If it was a skeleton dragon I wouldn't have the same trouble.” He explained.
The teacher smiled and nodded, “Good, you’ve read through the book properly. How is your patrol?” He asked.
Milo calmed his breathing and reported what he had seen including the things he had to avoid but hadn’t followed.
He just noted everything down.
“Good, if you are hungry, it is already noon and you can go eat and return to patrol.” He said.
“Yes, ah sir! How are skeleton mages created properly? I found a skeleton that can become one.” He said.
“Avoid making it for now because they tend to form very difficult personalities if you are not a being with death mana from the get go. You need death mana to mold its personality from the typically twisted one.” he said.
Milo was shocked at the news that they literally modify the soul’s personality. That was a dangerous ability in the hands of the wrong people.
It clearly showed on his face and the teacher smiled, “People who form death mana in our order have always been made to do a blood pledge. It is a very binding ritual using our own blood and the pledge forces us to be unable to use this on mortal man. Only when permitted by a great authority, for instance the president, to be able to extract vital information from villainous men and women, are we allowed. In other cases, the act of modifying souls is reserved purely for non sentient animals and undead.” he explained.
“Oh… that’s good. For a moment I thought something like that would be freely released into the world.” Milo said with a sigh.
“Advanced Dark arts of Necromancy that utilize death mana is never taught to someone who hasn’t properly done the pledge. Without this pledge, the ancient art of necromancy would have been lost long long ago to countless hunts for our kind.” he explained.
Milo nodded and felt his stomach grumble and the teacher smiled, “Go eat something, you will need your energy for the afternoon.”
With the threat gone, he finally headed back behind the gates into safety and searched for a restaurant to enjoy the noon meal. During that time he reviewed the book.
“Hmm… although the zombies can get diverse, many of them require such complex conditions to produce in the old experiment format. Hell there are even ones I can't get without radiation.” he muttered and shook his head as he took his drink.
He flipped through the files to the easier and classic versions. Having a very clear listing with specific qualities and characteristics is a very good thing for Milo. Having used his natural ability for so long, he knew how to read DNA like no one else. Although undead biology might seem different, the only unique part is the spiritual aspect. The fact that he can easily modify DNA to make cancerous bone matter form shows his control.
Having a list of characteristics basically gives him the basic requirements to a creature’s biology. What was confusing were the very weird zombies, many of which resemble movie, series and game type zombies such as spitters, vomiters, and such. These are extremely weird to get because their bodies have to be evolved to retain acid or possess gastric fluid loaded with highly infectious bacterial life.
For others however, it was different, a perfect example is the classic brute zombie. Brute zombies are somewhat unique because they tend to be formed from very strongly built men or women, usually from body builders or very physically strong criminals. After becoming zombies, their bodies mutate and instead of decomposing, their body mass actually grows and even if the skin rips apart, they become hulk-like.
Another type is called armored zombie which can be either suited up with high defensive gear bonded to them or they can have natural protection formed biologically.
A step further can even merge Brute and Armored and create Tanks. Literal behemoths, more often than not, possess dense biological armor, massive size and dense muscles and even denser bone structures required to support this weight without impeding any of their speed whatsoever.
When compared to in terms of strength, armored zombies are similar to Bargo, aka skeleton knight. Brute are equal to death knight and mages while a Tank is a monstrosity equal in rank to a Lich.
For context, Scar is considered a Hatchling dragon and their ‘ranks’ go to adolescent, adult and then ancient dragon. It is similar to Skeleton mage, death mage, Lich and Elder Lich. For Bargo, the complete path is Skeleton Knight, Death Knight, Blackguard and Nether Lord.
In other words, tanks are equal in rank to Vincent’s chief undead, the giant skeleton dragon and his Lich.
Milo read through the descriptions in thought before he thought about Robin for a moment and frowned. “Would adding traits while they are unsentient work? If I add Robin’s hardening, that could already be a step up to preparing biological armor. After that I can manipulate that hardening trait and mix it with bug carapace genetics to form a kind of biological hardened ‘casing’.” he thought.
This thought process would have completely floored any necromancer because to them, everything was about very long, tedious experiments lasting many years on end. It might be easy to get normal skeletons to the threshold to make them rank up but it isn’t the same for all creatures, especially those with active bodies, like Scar. To continue accelerating Scar, he now had to properly form death mana and teach it to his undead. After that is many years of training and resources but getting this rank up would be a big step up because it would allow him to access more resources with greater safety.
Just the medical recipes are more than a little vital, much less the magical arts sold by the undead. Although he was sure to learn much of the same thing, it was possible that it might be different as well. After all, Vincent didn’t have access to the Nether realm, his undead were cultivated on earth. Even the dragon was created no different from his own, starting small and eventually growing big. Hiding them required many hidden places from which he summoned them when needed and he rarely used the dragon until the society of heroes was formed.
Milo also looked at ghouls. It was as strange as it got, using human shaped zombies, he would produce a distorted quadruped creature with many sharp fangs, claws and spikes along the spine and moved at scary speeds due to the strange running style despite it’s humanoid origins. Going a step forward are stalkers, much like movie and game zombies of the same kind, they are extremely silent and extremely fast zombies which ambush with their extreme speed and deadly claws.
“If we made zombies, which do you think is the best to make first?” Milo asked.
Bargo looked down and pointed at the armored and brutes.
“Learning the creation process of both to merge them into one force would make them the most useful to master. The armored ones would be many times more durable so they can be used to stall for time while the Brutes can actually work alongside skeletons during disasters and move large rubble that skeletons cannot. They would also make for the best against strength type enemies who need that kind of strength to stop. The others aren’t that good unless they are made for spying or killing from the shadows.” He said.
Milo nodded as he agreed.
“There are so many kinds of undead that it is very annoying to pick just one or two.” He said.
A laugh came from behind him and he looked to find some older necromancers laughing from his comment and looking at him.
“The real enemy isn’t which to make but the time it takes to make them.” He said, “You shouldn’t think about complex undead, making common ones is much better in the grand scheme of things because without money you can’t get the resource for strong ones. I've heard that lord Vincent only got the resource he got when he finally learned the nearly lost art of soul projection which he used to enter the nether realm. It was what caused the survival of necromancy to this day.” the necromancer said.
Milo looked curiously but didn’t know what to say, “So common ones…” he just muttered and flipped to the skeletons and found that many would stagnate but could become useful in large numbers and undead were indeed creatures that succeeded in numbers.
After a while Bargo interrupted, “Master, it is already 1:30, I believe that was the time stipulated to end lunch breaks.” he said.
“Oh, already. I was so absorbed in the book. Alright, let’s get back to work.” He said and put the book away and they both headed back but this time he was ready to get normal zombies this time instead of unique creatures like he had captured prior because he was going to start making a zombie division. As for skeletons, that wasn’t even a problem because he already had many and he could just randomly summon one for the future options he desired to make.

Oliver groaned as he held a small cage with a lab rat and his body was already digital and the cage was already turning digital but the rat was squeaking in pain.
“Stop!” Techno said and the process reversed before they could even get into the platform.
Oliver stopped and sighed before walking over. “It’s so hard, he is constantly resisting and there is even a resistance to it.” he said.
“I’m sure, you are breaking a living person’s material form into data, it’s not going to be peaceful. At least we know you can make objects into data from the cage and quite easily. This is a start since it means there is a possibility of material extraction from the digital world in the future.” He said.
“So what do we do now?” Tristan asked.
Techno thought for a moment before something clicked in his mind and he looked at the two.
“Have you boys been training in the life essence flow?” He asked.
“Just a bit since it can enhance our strength but since we focus on our spawns we haven’t really given it much try.” Oliver said.
“Does it do anything to your physical form when you do?” Techno asked.
“Not… that we noticed.” Tristan replied.
“Alright, Oliver get on the platform and start that flow. Do it like your teachers have taught you and when you finally get a stable flow I will tell you to digitalize.” he said.
Oliver nodded and headed back and closed his eyes before taking a deep breath before he started to use Chasm Might’s technique with his life essence.
It started to spin but when it began to move out, he also made sure it was spinning like an expanding whirlpool. Because of his poor practice schedule, he couldn’t control it on thinner vessels, only the largest but Techno didn’t care, he only wanted to see how it affected their ability.
In the scanner, he was picking up the movement and used other programs he had done to examine life force and essence to watch but never turned off the primary function of the platform.
When a stable flow formed through his body he called out, “Sir, I'm pretty stable.” He said and slowly got up from his sitting position but very slowly.
Just this showed how poorly they trained since many others could easily move and even fight in this state.
“Alright turn into your data form.” He said.
With a nod, Oliver activated. Starting from the heart, his body changed and they were surprised that his form was a lot more stable compared to the static appearance he normally demonstrated and to their surprise, the plugs and circuit lines that outlined Oliver’s Nerves, began to glow slightly until it stabilized like that.
Techno frowned and began many scans including the scan for the energy that he released from his hand.
After about 5 minutes he got the results and finally discovered what that was.
“So that is how it works.” He said, “Okay Oliver, you can calm down.” He said.
His body returned to normal and he calmed down his energy before coming over.
Zack had a water bottle ready and handed it over.
“Did you find something?” Tristan asked.
“Yes, previously I had noticed an energy wave being released from Oliver’s hands which had allowed him to hold and stabilize the life force but couldn’t figure out what it was. I finally did, it was life essence itself except it had left your blood and entered your nerves and processed through your body’s biomechanical structure.” He said.
“Biomechanical?” Zack muttered confused.
“The plugs and their nerves are like biological machine structures. It is 100% a biological structure made out of cells but they are machine in structure and function. Previously the nerves seemed to just absorb and process any life force it could come in contact with to do the process but with channeled life essence, it was able to activate more completely. If you were highly trained in the process until you reach even capillaries, maybe the entire system would activate and you would very likely be able to turn even large animals into data form. Let’s try the test again with your flowing energy but only digitalizing and returning to normal.” He said and produced a different rat so that they didn’t stress them into frenzies or into mutating and forming bizarre super powers.
He rested for a moment before going with the new cage and started the flow again and after a few minutes the nerves began to glow again and when it stabilized, he activated the power and instantly the machines began to beep.
From Oliver’s hand, large energy waves came and surrounded the cage and very rapidly the solid metal turned into digital and gathered on the rat that squirmed for a moment before its body literally began to tremble like a glitching program for about a minute before it stabilized in a data state which kept shivering from time to time.
Oliver held that and allowed Techno to do all that he wanted until he said he could return to normal.
He started the reverse process and it was more annoying but the cage returned to normal first and the rat once more went through the process until it was back to a solid material form and then Oliver returned to normal.
When it was done Techno was heavily at work after getting a lot of information.
“Was that enough?” Oliver asked as he sat down and put the cage down.
“For the time being but for you it is only the start. You have trained too poorly and you will need to focus on training and moving at the very least with your energy active. The ability to digitize other creatures is only at about 20% activation and not even 30% considering there are only 3 thickness of blood vessels so you are going to start focusing on this. You boys as well, none of you put focus on this because you are summoners but you are going to. It is clear that your powers have many layers of activation so you had best get ready for that. For the time being though, this is great progress because the energy waves aren’t impossible to copy. Hopefully before the internship is complete, you boys will at least be able to have your thickest vessels naturally flowing and the secondary ones being reachable. That should provide a stronger and more stable energy wave that we can work with. If we can form a technology to digitalize than we can already start moving our focus to the expansion of the digital farm.” He said.
“Aren’t we also planning to make some sort of heaven world?” Tristan asked.
“Yes, we are. The AI has also found some compatible world cores. It is quite the strange one and they aren’t even completely developed themselves but with the type determined, I've been able to start gathering more of that kind.” He said.
“What kind is it?” Oliver asked.
“They are called… Living islands. They are basically form a miniature world on the top like the flat world theory and from what has been noticed, they were still very weak initially but once more, your club leader discovered their requirement and now the single flame he helped has unlocked the secret to all living island families and the AI noticed them as they get closer to more advanced completion.” He said.
“Are they different from Robin’s?” Zack asked.
“Yes, they fill up with life force, mental energy and world power blended together. Once we’ve advanced the digitalization process, the first server will be built in Richmond, initially disconnected from the AI, and gather all the energized farms into one massive landmass before we add however many of these islands are needed to stabilize it. If it finally works and the flow of world power is created, we can finally connect it to the AI’s super computer and let her calm down and start her growth without her going crazy for life force.” he said.
“That’s good but are there that many of them?” Oliver asked.
“It is a long process, there are some people who form highly compressed fist size rocks at birth who need to figure out how to decompress it, others form fragments that need to piece together and channel their bodily energies into it. There are many forms for the same thing so instead, we are gathering those we can properly identify due to similarities and once the gamer space grows to massive proportions, we can finally search on a large scale.” He said.
“How long will that take? Level 2 of the space is only as big as Richmond.” Tristan complained.
“Who knows, the kid’s said they are to cover the world so who is to say that level 3 isn’t going to be a much larger than expected growth.” Techno replied, laughing and focused on the work. “You boys can go back to your rooms, start to properly train and try to pay attention to your own abilities to see any changes that might occur. Also Zack, you have your countless creatures, you should also try to make them channel it since they change due to your life force.” He said.
“Okay… I'll try.” he replied and the three were dismissed.
Techno turned serious and began to do something he hadn’t done in a long time, examining data in a slow manner when analyzing the readings from the energy waves that Oliver released.
