“Again with this-you can’t just drop this kind of stuff on me with no warning, Lucy!” Alex’s palm is mostly definitely on his face, because who wouldn’t do so after learning they apparently just got some crazy Achievement out of seemingly nowhere? “More importantly, how am I the first person to make a magical focus? I mean yeah it’s like day two of the System starting up but still, there’s more than 7 billion people on earth.”

Several reasons actually. One, the vast majority of people chose Abilities in Character Creation and focused on gaining Skills afterwards that were centered around gaining utility or combat magic-or an equivalent energy type-Skills. This already removes a large portion of the population. Second, of the individuals that have a similar crafting-based mindset to you, only some of them had the same or similar Abilities as you do, which would help them gain similar Skills as you have in order to make a magical magic focus. And third, of those few people left, not a lot of them had the time in their day to dedicate almost exclusively to trying out crafting skills and magic like you have had, or they simply used mundane magical foci because it was good enough as starting focus.

Blinking at the wall of text, Alex reads it through before finally sighing and nodding along. “Ok, that actually does make some sense. Just feels weird to be the legitimate first at something I guess.” Scratching his chin, he questions Lucy on something as it pops up in his mind. “Hey, does that mean that those livestreamers that did the, uh, what was the name...right, the Silverfall Dungeon, did they get one of these Origin Achievements?”

That they did, they got the [First Dungeon Runners] Origin Achievement. Some others that have been snatched up in these first few days include [Martial Master], [Magus of Origins], and [One Small Step for Man]. So don’t worry too much about it, it’s not like you’re the only person to get one of these.

“True, true. So, what’s the damage then? Am I choosing another Class?” Now that the initial shock has worn off, Alex goes back to looking over his newly made wand, getting a feel for it and how it rests in his hands as Lucy responds.

Nope, since this is a pretty special Achievement you get something arguably even better; a Skill package. Basically a set of Skills that are ‘Sub-Beginner’, which means that they will give you a System-granted basic understanding of the bare bones of the Skill. That way you can bump them up to a true Beginner level much easier. Mana Imbuing [Crafting, Support, Combat]: Sub-Beginner Runecarving (General) [Crafting, Utility]: Sub-Beginner Mana Conversion [Crafting, Utility, Support]: Sub-Beginner Mana Crystallization [Crafting]: Sub-Beginner Mold Metal (Transmutation Spell) [Crafting, Utility]: Sub-Beginner Mold Wood (Transmutation Spell) [Crafting, Utility]: Sub-Beginner Mana Bonding (General) [Crafting, Utility, Support]: Sub-Beginner

“Wow, these look quite nice. There’s that mana imbuing thing again, I’ll have to check that out some time. Mana Conversion, Crystallization, and Bonding all sound very interesting too. Since I’ve got a wand now, I think I’ll try to do these spells first. Oh, and I’ve got to try out my dragon’s breath too...” Alex mutters under his breath, thinking out loud as a feeling of something odd goes through his mind, almost like intrusive thoughts but not as disturbing. After a few moments he shakes his head before turning back to Lucy. “Was that the ‘basic understanding’ that you mentioned? It definitely felt off, that’s for sure.”

Yeah, that’s why you can’t just get Beginner or higher Skills. The System can give little hints and feelings about how a Skill works, but anything more than that and a lot of potential neurological and psychological issues might crop up.

“Not to mention the ethical issues of downloading information directly into someone’s brain. Eh, I’m not a philosopher or anything like that, let’s leave that to the politicians. We’ve got spells to try out!” Mentally going through the strange half-thought information he just received, Alex grabs a small copper plate and places it on his desk, pointing his new wand at it and pausing.

“Uh...right, this spell uses intent, visualization, and words. What should I use for this?” He taps the wand tip to his chin as he thinks-maybe not the smartest thing to do, but it’s not like a gun or anything-before deciding to use something in latin for the name. As he looks to the copper again, he makes up a little rhyme like the healer girl from the livestream.

“Copper, iron, zinc or steel

These metals can’t help but be my will

Like a dwarf these ores will soon be mine

All metals shall bend to me in time

[Mutatio]!”

As he half-sings the words, he can feel as a stream of mana starts to drain through him and into his wand. It almost feels like what he imagines water feels like when it creates those little vortices when it goes down a drain. Visually, he can see his mana flowing through the wand, giving it an internal glow, before twisting out of the tip with a silvery-gray coloration.

The stream of quicksilver-like magic twists into the copper plate, giving it a small glow just around the edges of the metal. As it does, he can feel an almost physical connection to it, similar yet different to how it felt when he suffused the aluminum bar with his mana. There’s almost a kind of disconnect between what he feels now compared to what he did then, like this magic is more an automatic feature.

As he gets used to the feeling of having a new not-quite-limb, he tries to visualize the copper plate folding in half. To his surprise, it does so almost immediately, fusing along the fold to become a copper plate with half the width but twice the thickness. He starts to laugh just a little bit maniacally as potential applications rush through his mind, but before he can get too much into it the connection between himself and the copper blinks away. As he watches, the glow fades from the plate, motes of silvery light-sound evaporating into the air.

“Huh, it has a timer on how long the effect lasts. I could almost definitely add more mana to last longer, but that likely has diminishing returns, especially if used on larger pieces of metal. IT felt a lot different from using direct mana manipulation though, I wonder why that is...” Although he’d love to test this out more, it’s getting dark outside, and he wants to test out one more thing before heading to bed.

He takes a piece of printer paper from his home printer, and starts looking into himself for that instinctive feeling of fire breath, like when he was searching for his mana pool. Surprisingly, it is much easier to find that feeling with his dragons breath despite being an E-Tier Ability, so much easier in fact that he accidentally breathes a little fire out with his mouth still closed and ends up snorting it out of his nostrils. Not a fun time, that’s for sure, it feels like he snorted out orange juice.

After a little smoky coughing fit, he refocuses on why it happened. As it turns out, his fire-breathing is an actual physical part of him, which makes sense now that he thinks about it. You know those little salivary glands under your tongue, and how sometimes you can accidentally squeeze them and make spit fly out of your mouth? It’s kind of like that, but the glands are just behind where his uvula used to be-and how weird is that, not having a uvula anymore-and much easier to control.

After a few test-plumes of fire into the air to get control of the reflex, he shoots out a little bit of fire at the paper. It burns a hole right through as you would expect, and leaves little glowing embers and carbonized paper around the edges. On a scrap piece of balsa from his other experiments, however, the blasts of fire he can make can scorch the wood, but it doesn’t catch on fire.

From what he can tell, his dragon’s breath is more like a defense mechanism rather than a method of attack, made of quick little plumes of fire, about the heat of a campfire, which could singe some hairs and maybe cause some first degree burns, but goes out too quickly to do any real damage. He can’t really expect much more from an E-Tier Ability, but Lucy did mention that he can train Abilities to make them stronger and raise in tier, so hopefully dragon breath is included in that list.

After some cleaning up around his house and a quick dinner, Alex heads to bed with a good night to Lucy. After a dreamless sleep he wakes up and takes a shower, making some hot cocoa to bring to work with him because he thinks that coffee is a vile substance that should never soil his tongue. Dressed and with his charms, amulet, and wand in his bag, he drives to work while people watching. Most people that are older definitely stayed with the human-y races, that’s for sure, though he can’t exactly blame them for not wanting to change too much, but the younger crowd like himself have much more variety.

Work is only a 30 minute drive for him, thankfully, so he doesn’t have to worry about traffic too much. The building is four stories tall, with a large open-air garage area connected to the building on the side. It’s a branch business of Garner Holt, and most of the revenue we make is from the Disneyland near the edge of the city, though they also get special orders and maintenance requests from other people in the area as well.

Once his car is parked in the employee parking, Alex grabs his things and heads on inside. The first thing he sees is a very short, stout woman with thick black hair scolding what looks like a dark elf, Jerry from I.T. if his facial structure is still the same as when he was human. Well, that and he’s pretty much the only one that can take a scolding from Ms. Morrison with a straight face. The elf walks off to get back to his job just as Alex approaches, which the short woman turns and reveals herself to be Ms. Morrison herself, sighing in exasperation.

“The nerve of that man sometimes, let me tell you. How’re doing Alex, everything good after the whole ‘the world went all RPG on us’ thing?” Alex himself is a bit surprised she could recognize him so easily, replying after blinking in shock for a second.

“Uh, yeah, all good here. How’d you know it was me, what with being covered in scales and having a different head shape and all that?” She snorts a little before gesturing to his bag. “You may look different but you’ve still got your backpack. You take that thing everywhere with you.”

He gives her a flat look as he replies. “Oh, says the person with a lucky wrench? I’m honestly not surprised you chose to be a Dwarf, you practically already were one before the System.” She waves a hand at him and scoffs, giving him the work schedule for the day before walking back to her office. “Oh hush you, drink your baby coffee and get back to work. We’ve got two days of backed-up orders to complete!”

Muttering under his breath about ‘coffee maniacs’ and ‘no-good dwarves with no appreciation for chocolate’, he does as she says. He personally works mostly on electrical repairs and articulation maintenance for the animatronics that come in, though he also helps with sensor calibration when the team is strapped for hands.

It’s a busy day, but a fun one, and other than everyone looking like they jumped out of fantasy or sci-fi shows it’s blessedly normal compared to all of the crazy stuff going on. Teasing Jeff about his girlfriend(apparently she decided to be one of the friendlier versions of the Succubus Race, good for him), laughing about the ridiculous ways some of the animatronics are brought in for repairs(one of them somehow got ice cream in the motherboard), it’s just a generally lighthearted mood. Lucy is very talkative and curious, though she thankfully keeps her questions to whenever Alex has some time to himself rather than in the middle of repairing something.

Finally, with the afternoon sun hanging low in the sky, he gets off his shift and can get back to his home. Before he does though, he spends a bit of time going on a shopping spree for some materials and supplies. Working on all the animatronics today put him in the mood to actually use his Engineer (Robotics) and Golemancer Classes, as well as experiment a bit more.

When he finally gets home, he washes up and has a light dinner so he doesn’t have to worry about it like last night, before heading into his little shop to work. One after another, an ‘Assemble it Yourself’ spider bot kit finds itself placed on the work desk next to a wooden posing mannequin, a collection of clear quartz crystals of varying sizes, and a waterproof container of ferrofluid and some large ball bearing magnets. He wants to do some tests into the limitations of Golemancy, as well as how robotics can play into it.

First though, he needs to make a new CSS. After a bit of switching things around, he gets two CSS’s with good potential. The first is what he gets when he puts Golemancer into the Class slot, with Engineering (Robotics) and Engineering (General) in the Subclass slots, while the other is with Engineering (Robotics) in the Class slot and Golemancy in the Subclass slot, pretty much just switching them.

Automata Engineering:

While active, redesigning robots with magic enhancements or designing entirely new robots with magic in mind becomes easier, leading to more successes than failures.

Magitech Golemancy:

While active, the application of modern sciences to golemancy becomes a much easier feat, allowing for a blend of science and magic.

Very similar on the surface, but they both involve augmenting science and magic in one way or another. Alex decides to go with something more familiar first, the spider-bot, so he goes with the Automata Engineering CSS first. At first he was a bit stumped on how exactly to carve runes into the metal of the little bot, the plastic was easy since he could just carve it, but that much metal engraving would take forever. Eventually he facepalmed, since he completely forgot about the Mold Metal spell he just learned this morning.

After a few tests on scrap metal, he found that although he can only really make the shape of the runes one at a time without losing the clear mental image needed and making a messy clump of metal, they also come out perfectly when he does. Without having to worry about shaky hands or material weaknesses that might cause chipping, each rune comes out as well-made as he can imagine it, with the only cost being about a cup of mana compared to the lake of mana in his mana pool.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

First, he takes each piece of the frame, ‘writing’ runewords for strength, metal, and adamant on each part. For the larger parts that’s pretty easy, but for smaller things like screws he had to get more creative, using fewer runewords and making them much smaller than the others. The reinforcements seemed to go well, and the aluminum of the frame pieces barely warmed up in the process of activating all the runewords and connecting them to each other.

Once the reinforcements were bound together and stable, he moved on to the control system. This particular brand of spider-bot used a controller and an ir receiver on the spider itself to control where it moves, which wouldn’t work for this project. Instead, he took the remote apart and took the internal electronics out, moving them over to the spider-bot chassis. Thankfully the electronics from the remote weren’t too bulky, and there was enough room in the spider-bot itself to reinstall the remote functions once he removed some internal supports for the plastic shell pieces that covered the central body of the robot.

Although he personally didn’t think this would work based on what he knew about robotics, since there wasn’t any real sensors or even a processor designed to handle moving the bot on its own, he had a strong feeling that the right combination of runes would take care of that for him. The first thing he did to get the controls working was to write the runeword for Paired on the control’s circuit board and the spider-bot’s original board. Once they were both activated and he made a connection between the two, the connection itself seemed to become much stronger then it normally should be. Makes sense when you consider the runewords being connected.

Next, he had to figure out how exactly he was going to make a golem that could think, at least in a basic manner. Before putting anything on the actual parts he’d be using, he started drawing out a few different designs and iterations on paper before coming up with one that he personally thought should work out nicely.

The design was made of three concentric circles. In the middle of the center circle, the runewords for Heart, Mind, and Soul were written, each runeword in the center of a triangle. The triangles each had two points touching the edge of the middle circle, with their last points intersecting in the middle to create a smaller fourth triangle, which had the runewords for Character, Personality, and Life written along each edge.

The middle circle area was split into nine segments. Six segments were made by lines branching out of the points of the triangles that met the middle circle’s edge, with a line in between the points creating two segments for each triangle, and the other three being made from the space left between the triangles. In each of these segments, another runeword was made, either directly related to the triangle it branches out from or a mixed meaning for the three segments between the triangle segments.

For the Heart segments you had the runewords for Empathy and Creativity, and the mixed meaning between the Heart and Mind segments was Coordination. The segments for Mind were Logic and Analysis, with the mixed meaning between Mind and Soul being the runeword Intuition. The segments for Soul were Willpower and Determination, with the mixed meaning between Soul and Heart as Emotion.

The last circle is divided into five segments, with each having the runeword for one of the basic senses written into them. Taste, Touch, Smell, Sound, Sight. At the beginning and end of each runeword were little circles, each with their own runeword for Connection written within. Each of these connection runewords would be connected to all of the other runewords for the senses spread throughout the spider-bot’s body. Once the design was complete, it didn’t take long to engrave the pattern into the control board and move on to applying the sensory runes it would need.

Touch runewords would be written on each limb, as well as a large one on the underside of the main body. Taste and Sight would be carved into the same approximate areas as you would expect to see on a real spider, he even did one Sight runeword for each of the eight eyes a spider should have. Sound was put on each of the legs along with Taste right next to the Touch runewords, since real spiders use the hairs on their legs to do all three.

With all of the runewords etched into the spider-bot, Alex took a bit of a rest to regain his mana. Even if each use of the Mold Metal spell only uses around a ‘cup’ of mana, less for the smaller modifications, he’s still written more than a hundred runes in just 45 minutes. With it being the first large expenditure of mana on his part, the feeling of not having enough mana is weird. It’s like he can physically feel that there’s less of himself in...himself, if that makes any sense.

That and the skin underneath his scales was starting to undulate and writhe like he had tentacles underneath his flesh, which freaked him right the fuck out until he remembered that using too many spells one after another could cause physical effects like with that scoprion girl, Natasha. It kind of felt like when you have a muscle that’s just twitching for no reason and you can’t stop it, except all of his skin. Plus, he has another one of those strong feelings that he’s starting to relate to the System, and it’s telling him that if he doesn’t have enough mana on hand to activate and connect all of the new runes together at the same time, it’ll end badly.

After a little rest, catching up on some shows and new videos online, his skin stops literally crawling and his mana pool feels much closer to full. For the final rune activations, he decides to go from the outside in. As each runeword activates, he makes sure to connect runewords of the same sense together before leading the connection up into the control panel’s central rune...matrix? What the brain is going to be at least, attaching them to the Connection runewords next to their respective sense segments. With the senses up and running, he twists the five connections coming from the central sensory runes together, not quite fusing them into one but letting them work together to make it easier for the soon-to-be golem to use all of its senses.

He goes to the next layer of the golemantic matrix, activating each of the segments one after another. The runewords from the same root have strong connections, obviously, but the transitioning runewords with mixed meanings have their own charm, acting both as independent runewords as well as helping to mix the meanings of the other root runewords more evenly and with less internal conflict. He ties the root runewords back into their root triangle, with the mixed meaning runewords having two connections, one for each triangle it is apart of.

As he activates the Mind, Heart, and Soul runewords, moving on to the last three runewords in the center triangle, he notices an alarmingly large drain on his mana as the golemantic matrix begins to glow more and more, the runes themselves starting to heat up enough that it feels like he has his hands right above a hot stove. He almost fears the PCB board will start to warp and melt. As he finishes activating the last of the runewords, twisting the center circles connections into something resembling a celtic trinity knot, the light from the runes all over the spider-bot go from a bit too bright to I-just-got-hit-by-a-flashbang levels.

As he blinked away the spots in his eyes, Alex heard something odd. Little whirring sounds, the kind that comes from moving servos. When his vision comes back he sees the little spider-bot, about as large as his hands held next to each other, slowly twitching and flexing its legs. After a moment, it clambers onto the tips of its legs, slowly turning to look at him.

“Holy shit...it worked. It actually worked, this is crazy!” Alex is, understandably, a bit excited to have created what is basically a pseudo-living creature. He puts his hands up and gives a little whoop, and is amused to see the spider try and mimic him, tilting its head up and putting its two front legs in the air. He chuckles a little and leans towards the little robot, lightly petting the top of its head.

“Well aren’t you something? I’ve got to think of a name for you though, huh? Not anything generic like Alpha or something like that, as thematic as it would be it just feels like a basic thing to do.” Alex mutters under his breath while watching the marvelous little robot rub up against his hand and pur, before looking around the desk it is on in wonder. He’s not sure if it’s thanks to the heavy rune-work or a golem-specific effect, but it feels warm to the touch.

“How about...Scout?” The spider-bot, now named Scout, looks over from where it was trying to climb into a pencil holder, only to knock it over with its own weight. At first it seems curious, before becoming very excited and doing the closest thing to a run it can while still getting used to its body, jumping into Alex’s palms with a staticy squeaking sound. If he weren’t currently holding the thing, he’d hold a hand to his chest to try and keep his heart from going out from the sheer cuteness. “I’ve only had you for less than a minute, but I can already tell I’m gonna love having you around.”

Before he gets too caught up, he asks Lucy if Scout had a readable item description. It would be interesting to know what the System classified it as.

And here I thought you forgot I was here. Yeah, I can show you Scout’s description.

Robotic Automata (Runed) [Named Entity: Scout]: Excellent

A generic toy robot with a vague resemblance to the arachnid family, modified with an extensive set of runes to give it a semblance of life. With magically reinforced parts, this robotic automata is much more durable than it otherwise would be.

Rolling his eyes at her joking remark, Alex reads through the description. He’s proud to see that he made Scout an Excellent quality, even if he isn’t entirely sure what that means yet. “Oh, I just thought of something. Wouldn’t I have gotten some kind of Origin or General Achievement for making a golem?”

As it turns out, you aren’t the first person to make a golem, though I personally think that your little friend is of higher quality for sure. And you would have gotten a General Achievement for making a golem period, but you already have the Golemancer Class. Don’t worry though, what you’ve been doing will be taken into consideration for other rewards.

Although slightly disappointed, he is also actually a bit relieved to hear that he didn’t somehow do something ridiculous again. He does actually want to earn his Skills and Classes after all, otherwise there wouldn’t be any fun in it. After spending a perfectly reasonable (cough-more than an hour-cough) amount of time playing with and snuggling Scout, Alex spends the rest of the night doing some pre-goleming prep work on the other materials he got for his experiments. He spends the rest of the week with his time split between work, playing with Scout, and working on his other golem subjects to give Scout some brothers and sisters.

The next golem to come to life is from the posing mannequin he bought from an art store. Although not as well articulated as Scout, and without the built-in powered movement from servos, it actually seems to move more fluidly than the little spider. Dancer, as he is now known thanks to his habit of dancing around rather than just walking, seems to somehow be able to bend his joints in ways they should not be able to bend, which can look a bit creepy if he isn’t careful.

Alex made him by putting the golemantic matrix into the hollow area inside of his head, though he had to be very careful in order to not burn the wood. Thankfully it seems to have been treated against general wear and tear, which helped. He also went for runewords of Healing and Regeneration rather than the strengthening runewords on Scout’s body, both because stronger wood is still just wood, and because wood would be a better medium for regenerative runes, being made from organic material and all.

After that is Actress, which Alex made by covering a large magnetic ball bearing in very small runewords. The golemantic matrix itself took up nearly half of the available space on the thing all on its own, despite him trying to get the runewords as small as possible. Rather than going with static parts, he scrawled flowing lines spreading across the surface of the ball bearing, radiating out from the golemantic matrix to create various little segments to put runewords in.

Each runeword was something along the lines of Metal, Liquid, Control, Magnet, Force, and Shape, all lending to the total idea of being able to control ferrofluid. After that, all he had to do was drop the golem core in the package of ferrofluid he bought, and he had a new golem. Actress, having a fluid body, likes to mimic everything despite always looking at least a little too spiky. She got her name when Alex caught her attentively watching a drama he put on the T.V as background noise, mimicking the shapes and body language of the people on the screen.

Finally, near the end of the week, he made Lightshow. She took the longest thanks to the fact that he had to carve her runes by hand, since she is made of crystals rather than metal or wood. That and the fact that he absolutely covered her in different runewords, since crystal is apparently an incredibly good mana conductor. Lightshow is somewhere in between Scout or Dancer and Actress, since she has static parts but has to make them float around her main crystal.

She keeps a vaguely humanoid shape made out of crystals, though with the quartz crystals Alex bought it’s nowhere near what seems to be her personal preferences. He already promised her that he’d get a more varied selection for her when he had the chance. She earned her name when she discovered that she absolutely loves being used as a light refractor. He’s not sure exactly what it is she likes about it, but he’d wager it’s kind of like eating.

Very satisfied with his work over the week, Alex takes the time on friday evening to relax and just enjoy playing with his new little friends. He does however, start to make plans to actually go out and explore some of the new things the System has introduced in person for the weekend. He looked around and apparently there are a few Zones and even two Dungeons nearby.

One of the Dungeons is actually inside the city surprisingly, and the local police are asking for volunteers from the more successful individuals when it comes to working with the System to help deactivate it so kids can’t just go wandering in and dying to whatever hazards are inside. With a plan in mind, he goes to bed, ready for an exciting weekend.

Feeling. Touch-scent-sounds, colors, shapes, new things.

Scared. Curious? Anticipation. Words are things you understand with.

Suddenly, I’m alive. I’m alive, yet nothing is moving. Why is nothing moving?

Blue thing appears, it makes me scared, but then I feel safe. I know what it is, but how?

Hello there! My name is Lucy, congratulations on being made.

Blue thing-Lucy, what is a Lucy?-has words on it. Words are easy to understand. Words have specific meanings. These words are a welcoming. Made, I was made? Who made me?

Oh, that would be the big scaly lug over there.

The Lucy gestures to something. It is large, much larger than me, but instead of fear when I see it, I feel joy.

He can’t see you right now, we’re in the Minion Creation menu so we’re going to fast for everything else to notice.

Minion Creation. I am a Minion?

Yep, specifically you are an Automata, made from a robot and given life. Let’s get into this though, wouldn’t want to leave Alex hanging after all.

Lucy is strange, but helpful. I learn that as a Minion, I am made to serve my creator. Most of the time this would be written into me in the magic language I can see on my legs, but the creator, Alex, only described that I was to live, in Heart, Mind, and Soul. I do not know what that means, but Lucy says that I have more options as a Minion thanks to this.

We go over many things, how my body shall work, what functions are most important to me, and what I wish to be able to do. Lucy mentioned something called Loyalty, and how with no restrictions I can do whatever I wished, even try to hurt my creator or run away. Why would I do that? I called her silly, and she simply sighed and started to explain more things.

Eventually, Lucy said that the Minion Creation was complete, and everything started moving. The limbs I was used to before no longer worked, and everything felt more real. “Holy shit...it worked. It actually worked, this is crazy!” As I regathered myself, I turned to see my creator moving too, with his top legs up in the air. Wondering if it was a greeting, I did my best to repeat it. The creator gives off a not-words-sound, before leaning down to touch my head. “Well aren’t you something?” And that is how my life started.

In time, I was joined by three more that were like me, but at the same time not like me. The creator called them my ‘Siblings’, and that we were to get along. Although they are strange, I feel a connection with them only dwarfed by the one I have with our creator. It is...fun, to play with them, and to play with my creator, but my favorite thing to do was explore. That first feeling of sensation never went away in me, and I want to experience even more. If I can do so with my creator and my siblings with me, then I truly would be the happiest Minion in the world.
