Todd the Toad got to it "Hello mister you looking for something"
"Well mister if you do me a favor i can point you to a perfect spot"
"Just blast those toxic toads over there that are looking to eat my tadpoles will you. Or get them away from my tadpoles mine are the ones i had hidden in those reeds over there. See normally the others would be in a feeding frenzy in the middle of the pond and mine would be unnoticed" I fired a ice dagger at the nearest toad missing him by a inch"
"i am bleeding you maniac. You hit me."
“Well there is under the tree if you want to hide under that you can use some mud to bury yourself”
“Well the tree over there is hollow if you sealed up that hole you could stay there.”
one of the toxic toads got creative “move it you maniac we have tadpoles to eat.”
i used a water wave spell on them and they were thrown into the air to land with a splat on the bank nearby
I ripped up a small tree as i moved off and crawled into the hole in the tree and pushed the branch over the hole.
Todd hopped over “Hello mister you mind cutting a few pieces from the hydra. I would like to evolve”
“well technically i am a animal monster so if i can eat some of the hydras brain i can evolve a trait or two”
“Yes sir can you make a little fire it will tipple my growth. I get from the food”
i quickly cut open the middle hydras heads and toasted a tiny portion with a small heat spell . I put it onto a leaf and teddy swallowed it greedily
“Thats all i can eat for now. Tell you what you keep the rest and feed it to me over the day i need to bulk up now that the Hyrda is dead this is prime territory”
Sun damage 3 hp
i nodded and began to carve up the heads
“hello mister your beginning to smoke”
“Ok Mister do not forget the eyes Just take the whole head eh”
“Right you are mister how about i become your minion or familiar”
“i just say i am willing to be your familiar and be bound by the laws of the familiar.
I will not injure you in any shape or form magically or otherwise or allow harm to befall you.
I will obey you as long as your orders do not threaten to cause me bodily harm or put me in mortal danger
I will not attempt to lie to you or withhold information that would lead you to the wrong conclusion
I will not threw inaction put you in danger or put my needs above your own.
I will assist you in any and all magics you may wish to use”
Todd looked happy or at least i thought he did
“Deal you will not regret this
i am willing to be your familiar and be bound by the laws of the familiar.
I will not injure you in any shape or form magically or otherwise or allow harm to befall you.
I will obey your commands
I will not attempt to lie to you or withhold information that would lead you to the wrong conclusion
I will not threw inaction put you in danger or put my needs above your own.
I will assist you in any and all magics you may wish to use”
You have been offered a familiar contract this is a contract bound by the gods do you accept
yes no
Contract accepted
“You will not regret this no sir. Your a skeleton and can not eat prey animals like myself I can digest other magical creatures and increase in level. I will wait a hour then eat another quarter of one of the other brains and repeat for the third. Then i go to sleep and evolve. I know all about it i have been around a bit. So i can tell you all about the ways to level up to. ”
Sun damage 3 hp
i moved back to the tree and looked down ti could see my tracks.
“Use water mister create a small wave it will turn the place to mud and wash away your tracks. Oh and take a small piece of ice with you to keep the head cold.”
Sun damage 3 hp
i took my place in the tree. And waited while Todd waded into the water nearby to keep a look out.
“So mister while we wait why do i not fill you in on some of the local habitat and what lives around the pond. The hydra killed all of the stronger monsters but there are still some of the weaker ones around that you can kill to gain experience Yes i know them all i listen and learn. There are some local wolves and such nothing major. I know a little because i listened while the hydra did not. The pond is a natural point for mana to build up. That Hydra ate so many advanced fish it fused with its brothers. The stupid idiot did not even try to set up some kind of sieve to try and stop the mana disappearing. But we could boss with that you could adsorb the mana from the fish that swim along here there are a lot of bonuses from that. Also humans have something called gold the bodies in the nest a few miles away will be worth something if we can find a middle man.”
“Well if i was say king of the local pond when i leveled up i would definitely level up to a legendary hybrid. The hydra was one so eating it will increase my level to that”
“What the hell are you talking about you traitor it goes by level of of age and i am older. I should be leader at least until the bigger animals push us out again”
i pushed my hand out of the hole and cast ice dagger.
“Agh my leg you cut my leg”
Todd Jumped off to finish of the toad.
A Wolf emerged from the bushes howled
“Lots of good food the Hydra dead. Come and get it boys”
i waited until he had taken a byte and then fired off two ice daggers form inside the tree
Todd came out of the pond and called “You mind if i finish him off i need the experience more than you”
I stayed still while Todd moved around the wounded Wolf firing weak acid at him. It took a while but the wolf had a wounded leg and Todd first acid spit hit its eyes. The blind wolf was no match for Todd.
Todd jumped over to me and called out “you there Terrence your the last toxic Toad left you go under the hydra and eat any fish trying to get a nibble of the hydra.Time for me to level up boss just give me a hours rest after i have evolved”
Todd began to increase slightly in size as i waited. A few birds came by and i practiced throwing dagger at them not that i hit them much firing from the shadows as i had to. But they could not land on the hydra body for long without a dagger almost hitting them
I fired a icy dagger hilt first at Todd when it came time to wake him up. “Ouch who threw that i am going to eat them.”
“i am a Toad – salamander variant. Watch this”
Todd spat at the ravens that were circling the hydra. Three of them burst into flames. “brilliant eh boss napalm spit”
he then jumped over to the hydra body and spat a weak black mist all over the body. “Did you see that toxic mist it will kill off all those flies we do not want them eating any more than we can help. Lets eat you have the rest of the brains and head. Cook them up and we can discuss where we go from here. The thing is boss you can not go out during the day and any neomancer worth there salt will not want a skeleton just join up they have there own lot and you have free will and all. Humans go to school to learn but your going to have to find a dungeon with a boss who will accept you and train us up.Not a easy thing to do or so i overheard some goblins say”
“Books that is great you can read then?”
“Your the best boss maybe she can buy us books of magic i always wanted to be able to use magic. I know where to get some gold we can have her buy some stuff for us in the market”
“Well i have only heard about them but they are one of the reasons those weak humans are able to stay on top of us monsters. Some of them specialise in building things like swords and armour and give these things to other humans for gold. You can buy books and armour and all kinds of stuff in the market. The stupid monsters do not have markets and there weapons and armour is crap compared to the humans. Makes me sad to be a monster. Well less talk more cooking use your magic to cook the meat i do not want to destroy any with my napam Yup that is fine oh the taste. Sorry you can not taste it boss it is like heaven.”
Todd spat out a little napam and ate the still flaming brain. “You know i bet i can digest the skull i have acid now hand them over.
Four black and one giant black wolf walked out of the forest. They sniffed around the dead wolf and growled.
Keeping my telepathy low i signaled Todd
Todd whispered “Sounds great boss.”
Todds scream was intense “How are you doing jerks get away from my dinner. That wolf corpse is my dinner find your own dead wolf to eat.” The wolves did not take it well they moved closer and started to growl. As they were in range and could not see me i used drain life on them. They i launched two icy blasts one to the left the other to the right i made sure the pack leader took the edge of both attacks. Two wolves died and i emerged in a hurry and slashed to the left beheading a wolf. The leader was still alive so i hit him with my hand stunning him. The final wolf took a acid blast to the face curtsey of Todd.
“Nice work boss could you let me finish the leader? Also his brain and guts would be a ”
It took me a few minutes and nine hp points of damage from the sun to cut now dead wolfs alphas head and stomach open. Todd pointed out the parts he wanted and i picked up the wolves and threw them into the lake.
“Sure thing boss i can toast these goodies myself. but i only have enough non acid toxin to do your sword properly”
Todd toasted the wolfs brain heart and liver and puffed himself up. “Thats great i have enough experience and food to evolve almost twice. With the legendary food and the wolf leader i am bound to get a great evolution thanks a lot boss this really means a lot to me so we should talk. I am about to evolve and i might be given the option toadman or lizardman. Toadmen have limited evolution options and Lizardmen have a bunch of restrictions i would prefer not to deal with. So any chance you could let be pick legendary status again after all legendary creatures live almost forever.”
i gave it some thought
Todd jumped into the water and jumped straight out again “Agh cold it is freezing what the hell. Agh i am going to freeze to death”
“You are right your the best boss ever. Boss.”
Todd jumped out of the water and ordered the female Poisonous Toads to get busy he wanted the hydra underside protected he allowed them to take as much of the tail as they could swallow but they had to keep a look out and turn away anything not a toad or frog. After he was finished giving orders he jumped back near my tree and fell asleep in the shade.
A while later farmer level 36 Ryan and hunter poacher Lion level 50 moved arrived i could now see Lions name in my mind. Ryan took a look around and cursed “We need to find whatever the thing is that got my bees.” Lion took a look around and pulled out his bow. “No what you need to do is go back into town. What i need to do is stay here and keep a look out. That is a legendary monster a lower level legendary monster but still a legendary monster it must have come to find out what ate its siblings. Go get the adventures from town and let the major know we are going to have to post a bounty.” “But ” “No buts that is a serious monster the town has to be warned. Look at it this way the adventurers will kill whatever killed your bees will get killed by the adventures guild and it will not cost you a copper piece.” “Your right those adventurers will make short work of whatever did this i will head back now.”
Lion vanished into the forest and only i knew where he was allowed me to keep track of him by where he vanished into. As i waited i picked up a new skill
locational awareness you know your surroundings better than most less chance of being snuck up on. I picked up a piece of wood and threw it at Todd.
“ok ok i am up”
“Ok boss so what is the plan?”
“Why not die boss?”
“Well your the boss guess what i am now a toad – basilisk variant that great or what give me a little time and i will be a great basilisk. I choose to keep myself small so all that food will evolve me two more times. Great or what?”
“Well i will hold off going to sleep and evolving until we know if the next evolve is my last for a while I really will have to know before i evolve.”
“Smart i will tell Terrence to turn female and i will have all the other toads turn female we can start a new colony of super poisonous toads”
“Na just toads and some other reptiles can do it. Time to swim and get the toads ready”
It was a couple of hours until dark when Felix local sheriff and three adventurers Lucy Mage level 45 Diesel soldier level 55 and Tony squire knight level 65 arrived. Felix looked around and Lion the hunter poacher appeared like magic from the bushes. Lion had his bow ready and put his arrow back behind his back “Good to see you this is a mess i have looked at the tracks. One Monster type unknown attacked and killed a legendary lower type hydra. Luckily it only had three heads but we need to get the meat stored and fast. If the local monsters get a large enough part i would say we are in trouble. They will begin to evolve at a massive pace. The hydras heads are missing and those wolves did not kill themselves so whatever did this might be coming back and soon.”
Felix pulled out a scroll “It seems we are in need of your services would the reward of five hundred gold for your services”
“Five thousand might be enough” Tony's Voice rang out Felix looked stricken “Well we are not a rich town i might be able to go to 2500 gold.”
“Then you deal with the legendary monster killer before it evolves any further” Felix was paling and sweat was running down his head “Well we would have to put a down payment of say 2000 gold the rest on account. We would need some time”
“6000 thousand then 2000 now we will give you six months to get the rest.” Tony was putting the screws to Felix.
Lions voice rang out “Well we will value the hydras body at what 10000 you pay us 4000 and you can have this quest.”
Tony gave Lion a death stare. “What are you talking about that is loot for us doing this quest. We get it for doing this quest.” Lion laughed “You have not been offered the quest yet rules are rules a hydras energy core is a legendary item and can be used for all sorts of things so shall we say you take this quest for free and the sheriff does not tax the body parts. Oh and Felix those charges pending against my nephew go away.” Felix nodded and pulled out his purse “Here is fifty gold for a valuation of the hydra we will put the charge against the six thousand you adventures are going to charge.”
Tony tried again “Listen we are adventures we need the gold for potions and equipment. And the monster that killed this one could be in the woods even as we speak we are risking our lives it hardly seems fair not to throw the hydra body in for free.” “i know meat and that body is worth plenty blood to potion makers bones to wizards and the liver to monster tamers. So you take what you can cut out of the body and be glad if you run into whatever killed it and manage to kill it then you can have the tax off the harvesting of the body otherwise it is fifty fifty. The body might bring in ten thousand so you pay say two thousand for the right to harvest it. There are plenty of people i know would pay more for the chance.” Diesel pipped in “We pay five hundred gold once we have the meat in the town and we spend a month hunting the thing that killed it we will also help out in the village while we are doing it. We can have the hydra in parts by tomorrow morning you know what happens if this is left over night the monsters will start to eat a lot will evolve this much meat. You could have a couple of packs of dire wolves worse a Orge if the goblins get at this.”
Felix nodded and pulled out his purse again “Thanks Lion any charges against your entire family get lowered and here is 50 gold. Not much but you have my gratitude also” Lion took the gold and turned to diesel “Another hundred gold i set up camp in the bushes anything comes i will put a couple of arrows. I am a bit tired but i can stay up all night watch your back.” Tony began to rant “No way if he is in i am out i am not working with him.” Diesel turned to Lucy “The thing is i brought rope but a hunter he will be a better fit for us in this type of situation. Your call i know Tony's your friend but this could get serious real fast.” Lucy turned red “He is a minor noble how could you want to take the help of a poacher over his” Diesel nodded and pulled rope out of his bag. "Lets get the hydra tied up this is going to take all night."
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
Lion and felix left the adventurers party alone as they left. Diesel pulled out two crossbows and loaded them.
“Tony set up camp put down a fire gather fire wood for later and set the traps. We are going to need to be prepared if whatever killed that hydra comes back. Lucy set up a basic ward if anything above uncommon with magic level mage enters the ward i want to know. I will make a start on the butchery and we can have a good look around once we are secure.”
I watched as Diesel tied the hydra in place to some trees and pulled out a massive axe and got down to it. He worked with a easy economy falling into a rythem keeping a crossbow nearby.
Todd Crept closer to me “Hello boss what now. I think we could take those humans after dark. Course with your night vision you might be able to get away what is the plan.”
tactical skill shown intelligence + 3 wisdom +3
i waited while Diesel sweated and took apart the hydra much faster than i could. He was covered in sweat when it became dark. He motioned for Tony to come forward. “i am beat and we are in a rush your up i have the heart and a depleted mana core. It is worth a lot less depleted as it is so whatever did this used a drain magic spell on the hydra. Which means we are not hunting this thing down alone.We need the gall bladder and liver as well as the lungs and the organs the hydra stored its poisons in. Lucy how are the wards”
“Funny they are showing a lot of lowered level emission from the water. I think there is something eating the hydra under the water.” Tony barged forward “We should talk about this we are not making enough for this job”Diesel tossed him his axe “Well your welcome to take your share on your horse and try to outrun the sheriff. You will get halve the price in another village taxes and all. Plus you have spoilage from keeping the goods on the back of a horse and lets see. The warrant the sherriff puts on your head” “We are not getting enough.” Tony was greedy i will give him that.
“Even with the depleted mana Core this body is worth three maybe four thousand gold for one nights work we only have to pay five hundred gold for a tax and maybe another five hundred to hire on help to deal with whatever did this. Thats a lot of gold. Now alright we missed out on a truly massive payment of the six plus the body but what do you what me to do about that? Now get up here and get chopping i need the liver taken out leave the rest to me some of those pouches are toxic some explosive and without say a poacher to identify which is which we are going to have to be careful. Lucy Mage light keep it small no need to attract unneeded attention.”
Todd woke up “Well boss i got a bunch of skills this time around i put everything i had into things that will take time to grow. I also increased my maximum size growth limit once i level up one more time i will have the potential to grow into a giant basilisk provided we can get me enough good food so we go now?”
Todd jumped away slowly and three quarters of a hour later when all the liver had been removed i heard Tony screaming “Something spat at me oh its gross wipe it off. A snot monster has spat something putrid at me. This is not worth it ten thousand gold would not be worth this. For the love of the gods of goodness get it off it stinks”
“Does princess want a rest fine i am up keep a eye on him Lucy.” A sweating Diesel jumped onto the hydra and started to throw parts out. Lucy lead Tony to sit down and i used drain life on half power on Tony and Lucy. Lucy was worried as well she might be. Lucy was casting healing spells on Tony so i switched to full life drain on them both. My mana was increasing by the second. I eased off as Lucy stopped her spell.
Whatever she was about to say she did not get a chance to. Diesel was climbing off the hydra corpse and stumbled “Get ready boss my toxin was a bit more potent now that i have leveled up. I will give the mage a scare you knock her out.” Todd let out a scream that did not sound like a toad “GRIRR GLOP GRIRR”
Then his eyes glowed in the darkness for a second and a green flame could be seen shoot into the air. He must have jumped into the air for the glowing eyes seemed to move ten feet into the air and flame belched again. Tony screamed and a liquid flowed down his pants. Lucy stood there petrified. Diesel jumped towards the crossbow he had left near his tent and i lept forward to stop him. Casting a low level icy blast at the fire as i went past. Lucy snapped out of her state and began to chant. Tony got up and ran into the forest. I gave Diesel a tap on the head and ignited a small flame spell around my head. Lucy turned and fainted.
Terrifying presence learned.
I quickly used drain life on Lucy until she dropped to a quarter life points. Then i moved over cut the ropes that held the hydra in place and then tied up Diesel and then Lucy. I looked at Diesel he did not look good so i found Lucys gear and
forced a few potions down his throat starting with cure poison and cure disease. I heard screaming from the forest and found a terrified Tony not moving but staring at Todd whose eyes were glowing. I looked down he had stood on one of his own bear traps and passed out when he came to he had found himself staring at Todd and was now frozen in fear.
“Hi boss guess what i just learned terrifying gaze. It freezes weak willed people in place.”
I tied Tony up with his own clothes and then threw him over my shoulder and placed him with the other two. “Half a hour eat the best material you can. I will be back. I will walk over the bank because i have no idea where the wards or other traps are.”
I found the ant colony exactly where Todd said it would be and used drain life.
Ant strength goes to maximum strength increase set to 5 you are now as strong as a giants skeleton all strength test are against a being with the giant strength gain. All holding bags or void spells will reflect this and hold ten times the amount of goods.
You have reached level 75
you may choose two bonus skills
skeleton monster construct – > Skeleton monster godlem
Stone Ice void crystal varients possible
void magic lesser
sturdy increases one level
mana mastery – increases one level
ice magic increases one level
drain life increses skill
title skeleton dark one infimy * 2
Please pick two from the list
i checked the skills it looked like i was near to increasing mana mastery and drain life ability on my own. The crystal varient would increase my mana but my mana regeneration would decrease. But i guessed void magic godlem effect would stack with the void magic lesser. And while i guessed the stone godlem would eventual lead to earth mastery i would find another way.
I stopped by a fallen tree on the way back and killed enough beetles to increase my exo skeleton and drain life to maxium. It also increased my level to 85 i guess maxing out a skill with cap level removed gave you 5 levels.
Three more and i could evolve into something greater.
I moved back to the camp to find Todd munching away on some Hydra meat “Almost there boss this is some good stuff. Next evolution watch out i am becoming a hydra – toad varient not toad hydra varient”
i wandered around the camp taking anything of interest a shovel rope backpack crossbow and crossbow bolts 30.
then i took all the gold and magic items Lucy had. She only had two magic books and and 6 lesser health spells. Still i had her staff. And ring of lesser smite
I reached out with my greater strength and picked up the wrapped hydra meat. And tossed it over my shoulder.
Tony had stopped blubbering and screamed at me
“Your dead you rotten skeleton. I will track you down and finish you.”
“Shut the hell up” Diesel was awake apparently “Thanks for the healing potion skeleton. Listen if you leave most of my gear i will not try and track you down.”
i put Diesels purse back and began to rummage around in Tonys backpack.
“I am going to kill you you, i am going to track you down and kill you.”
tony has lost fear and gained trait blazing hatred of you
i leaned over and kicked hand. Then i reached out to his pack and tossed the good clothes and fine shoes into the lake.
“Agh i am going to kill you”
I kicked one of Tonys legs and he shut up
Lucy had stopped sobbing “Er sir please Tony is rich but i am not could you please give me back my things?”
“Next evolution it will increase the level of my magic”
i looked threw Tonys stuff. He had a sword well made. I took that and packed away his tent. He had a box that i could not open i put that in my I put my sword by Lucy i doubted it would make up for the loss of her books but she could sell it and purchase a new gromoire. Then i took the rope tieing her hands behind her back and cut the part attached to the tree. It would not take her long to use my sword to cut the rope so it was time to gather up what i could and leave
“Listen you i am a lord i will get you for this. Let me go you peasant scum”
i picked Tony up and tied him to a tree branch by his underwear.
“Agh a wedgie i am going to get you peasant scum. I swear i am going to track you down and kill you slowly Agh my shorts”
i reached out and hit Tony foot with a nearby mallet
Tony has fainted due to shock
Tony foot has been broken limb crippled
Next i threw as much hydra meat as i could into my bag and picked up Todd and moved away at speed.
I stopped suddenly sensing something and stepped into the bushes. “Whats up boss?”
Lion moved out of the woods easily avoiding the set traps and moved forward with drawn bow until he was certain that no one was nearby and cut Diesels ropes. Diesel was about to go for the remaining crossbow he had left on the hydra when Lion stopped him. “you two seemed a little dizzy there for a while and the skeleton tossed a couple of potions down your throat. Perhaps the hydra was coated with something.”
“Agh cut me down so i can get him. Agh my shorts are cutting into me” Tony was not happy. Lion and diesel managed to grab him while Lucy cut him down. “He broke my mangled leg after him.” Lion “Ha Ha HA What am i suicidal no way am i going after skeleton armed with a crossbow with dark vision at night.” Diesel took a look around “Yeah we lost give it up besides that was a unique varient skeleton or something. It was strong must have cleaned us out good we might break even on this job but only just. You want revenge you can go after in during the day with dogs to track the scent of the meat.”
I listened in for a few minutes and then got on my way.
“Head for the stream boss you can walk threw it and the water will get rid of the scent. I have got a couple of other tricks i know. I am toxic you know i will spit out toxins every few minutes and leave a trail of death until we hit the river then you can wade along the river until we get to some rocks lets go”
We made it back to my cave and i noticed there were a 11 plague rats trapped in my pits.
Next morning
Laura ran into my cave and looked around. “Boo ha ha i am here er what is that a giant toad cool. Hello skeleton wait whats that a sword brilliant”
then i pulled out the sheet and began to write
i need a dead humanoid body like the one that you used to make me magic books and a map of the local area. I have a mages staff real gold 30 pieces. So i give you the gold and you bring me what you can. Then i give you the staff.
Laura jumped up and down and rushed off without looking back.
Laura rushed off and i sat down to wait as Todd began in “Seriously boss she created you?”
i got back to digging my hole and a hour and a halve later a annoyed Laura was pushed into my hole by a
Jarold merchant level 56 age 28
Laura jumped at me and hugged my leg. “My daddy spanked me spank him for me.” A women entered the cave her hand glowing

Todd hello boss “ i know where the hydra nest is it is a river over barely a couple of miles from the pond you could tell the stupid humans and have them clear it out looking for loot. Then the Frogs can move in”
Elizabeth moved to pet him but i put out my hand. “I am immune to poisons and am not stupid thank you very much. Some of us can tell when a familiar is talking. Although he just ate hydra i bet he is highly toxic now What was the hydra doing in the pond anyway?”
Todd tried to look something and failed miserable “Looking for the skeleton that killed two of his serpents the lizardmen the Nagas proberly nagged him into it he was a lazy slob. I do not think there are many lizardwomen. But you might want to check it out ”
basic explanation of facts
Todd is technically at a higher level than laura skeleton and will be for some time.
he deliberately choose to remain small during his evolution so not to waste the hydra meat if he was 4 times bigger it would take 4 times more hydra meat to evolve him
the skeleton broke free from Laura control early on. by deciding not to kill her it gave her the chance to change her class early and she locked in necromancer.
basic evolution skeleton
a standard skeleton level 85 -> 100 would have 200 hp it would gain 40 hp at
level 1 ,7, 25, 50,75
when the skeleton broke free it got monster -> construct bonuses
construct would have 200 hp at level 85
monster would have 400 hp at level 85
added together 200 + 200 + 400 multiply by toughness
monster bonuses mostly lower level one left level 90
skeleton will change make up to something in evolution
monster -> skeleton -> construct
this will mean it will gain mostly monster traits rather than weaker skeleton ones
