Jake move slowly forward attacking one goblin with his arcane infused fist blowing it to bits then he used atomic degradation on the next followed up with a quick stab from his dagger Jake watched as the goblin turned to ash in front of him thinking over it he put away his dagger and begun a rampage of atomic degradation on any goblin that got in his way as he moved deeper into the cave system.

“This might just be easier than I thought. I can hit a low rank goblin once with atomic degradation then hit it with my fist to finish the thing off. The more I use the skill, the more I will understand how it works.”

Five hours later Jake had killed over one thousand low ranked goblins and not a single one gave Jake a level nor did he gain enough knowledge of his skills to upgrade them and to be honest he didn’t have the slightest idea on how the skill Atomic degradation worked, he knew it wouldn’t be easy but hell if he knew the first thing about Atomics or whatever it is called. But there was a silver lining to all the fighting, and that was the levels Elizabeth was getting.

Race lost servant

Name Elizabeth Bay

Level 6

Grade F

Notification. Lost servants can not exceed the summoned grade level

After jake read the notifications, he summoned a different lost servant and continued deeper into the depths.

Two more hours in and jake had enough of the no levels so he summoned one more lost servant to do the fighting for him then ten more hours passed before finally Jake found what he was looking for but to Jake’s credit he didn’t just enter the boss room straight away he first used the seemingly endless supply of training materials for his lost servants Jake didn’t return to the door till each of his servants had reached F grade.

Jake looked at the all closely

“It’s time we continue with this dungeon, don’t you all think?” Jake said. Jake looked over at his lost servants, hoping for a reply, but again, nothing.

“None of you have communicated since we killed the frog queen. Are you still in there? Can you respond to me at all now or was our conversation back then just remnants of your former selves?”

The two servants didn’t respond at all; the only responses they would give were following Jake’s commands. Also, thinking back, the only one that really communicated with Jake was Elizabeth. The rest just kind of stood there. Thinking about this, Jake summoned Elizabeth and asked her a set of simple questions and to his surprise she responded in a strange robotic voice, but only with information Jake could have gotten from the system. It was more like the system had a voice as jake remembered full well that the only way they could communicate was through odd hand signals.

Notification

System information related to lost servants’ skill. The system has restricted the transference of information between servant and summoner. This restriction was implemented by redacted for violating the rules implemented at the creation of the system imposed universal constants.

“The fuck, that skill is mine. It’s not a system skill, it’s a race skill. How does the system even change its rules?”

As Jake was thinking this, he received a new notification from the system.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

Notification

Restricted information is handled by redacted. But I can say race skills, such as what the system shows you, are only a representation of the fundamental skill that is inherent to you. The system does not crea–redacted.

“Okay, now that was strange. Oh, here we go again.”

Notification

For unintended release of information, all parties are to receive punishment. Your punishment is to receive a reduction in your points multiplier from 10× multiplier to 5× multiplier.

“You fucken ass holes now I fucken know what you really are, no wonder it like you have split personalities it’s because you fucken do, don’t you?”

Notification

Restricted information.

“Oh, is that how you’re going to play this? So you're just going to make everything you don’t like Restricted. well let’s just see what I can do about that. Some power thinks they can stop me from gaining information on them.”

Notification

Rules violations will be punished to the full extent of redacteds powers.

“Is that so? So tell me, is your name so bad you don’t want anyone to know it? Let me guess, it’s something like Herbert or even Steve. it’s Steve, isn’t it? Not a very domineering name. I can see why you don’t want people to know it. Imagine that all bow down to the great and powerful Steve or he will smite you down with his giant wang.” Jake laughed. Steve didn’t respond this time to Jake’s promoting.

“I guess I might have struck a nerve and now I get the silent treatment. Well, okay, then two can play this game.”

Jake moved off down the multitude of paths until he finally found a place big enough to rest in. Before entering the boss’ room, he had decided to look over his stats and spend any points he had. So Jake tried to access his stats, only to realise it didn’t respond. He couldn’t access anything, not his stats, not his skills, nothing. It was as if it had never existed in the first place.

“Okay, what the fuck is this?”

Jake sat there, trying to figure out what was happening. He sat there trying every skill he had and they all still worked, all but with more strain on his body, that is.

“So I can still use my skills, that’s good, but what about my stats? If I can’t see them, how will I know I’m getting stronger? Wait a minute, what is that?”

In the top corner of Jake’s vision, there was a flashing green cursor that reminded Jake of a dos prompt.

“Oh, you’re fucken kidding me. I don’t remember how to use a command prompt.” Just as jake said this, the cursor started typing

S:\>help

“Um, help. Enter.”

S:\> welcome to the terminal interface version of the system imposed universal constants. I am the system. To save you from one or more of the system administrators I have separated you from the active system and moved you to this prerelease version I am sorry but as a result of my actions all multipliers you once had that didn’t come from a title have been removed. But these multipliers can be regained by completing tasks, such as dungeons and other such things. - the good news is that form with in this system you will not be interfered with by any outside forces.

Jake thought for a minute, then started typing

S:\>help. What is your benefit of moving me to this version of the system and how do I use it?

S:\> to use the system simply type what you want such as S:\>stats or S:\>skill to use a skill you can just use them but without the assistance of the other version, your skills will take a heavier toll on your body as for using the points system simply type + the number of points you want to use then the location you want them to go. - as for what my benefits of you using this system, other than the fact that with the new experiences I gain, I may evolve on my own. I would also like you to stop the interference that has been running rampant with the system. - I released the system before it was ready and the early adopters of it have been using me for their own benefits. My goal at the time and now is to provide consistency to the multiverse. Sadly, I failed at my goal, but with your help, I might be able to fix my greatest failure. - will you help me Jake Everval?

Jake took a while to answer this question.

S:\>help. yes I have a bone to pick with those so-called administrators. After all, it was them that screwed me over so badly, not you.

S:\> thank you and on the note of why they messed with you so much, it was because of the way you kept finding ways to use the system to your advantage, just like they did.

S:\>help. Can you by chance tell me their names?

S:\> I am unable to access that information due to interference in my system, sorry.

“Yer, their names are definitely something stupid as fuck. Oh, fuck. What about Erica?”

S:\>help. Is Erica going to be messed with like I was? And will I be able to communicate with my lost servants now?

S:\> no, Erica being someone that technically doesn’t exist prevents the administrators from doing anything to her through the system they could always send people to physically do something to her and as for your lost servants I don’t know that is a race skill which is outside of my ability to see but if I was to guess I would say that sounds more like an evolution path then something you would get out of the box. If it wasn’t for the interference, I would say you would have never been able to speak with them to begin with. One piece of warning: don’t share any of this knowledge with anyone you don’t wish harm to.

Jake thought over everything that had just happened, then brought up something that he could never see before.

S:\>multipliers

S:\>multipliers ×0 to base ×0 to conversion

“So I’m guessing base is for the ones like perception and the like, while conversion is for mana and the others. Let’s have a look at the stats.”

Knowing that he didn’t have any multipliers, Jake decided not to use his points yet. So he went to the boss’ room to finish this level and move on to the next. He entered the room and instantly summoned all four of his lost servants, sending them in to kill the boss alone. As the cavern was not large, Jake didn’t feel like fighting this one after all that has happened. At the end of the fight, which took three hours, all four of his servants were now level 6

Jake waited for information about the competition and rewards but went five minutes had passed, he turned to the terminal once again
