As I close on them they cover in fear, it's a delightful sight, it's not new, i've seen it happend alot of times before, but still it's a precious sight to remember, no matter how many times I watch it.
Unfortunately, the scene is interrupted by a sudden message.
'Player registered'
'Von Rat 'Imaginary Summoner Lvl-1'
Huh?
----------------------------------------
Huh?
The group he was beating, similar to him, were showing confused expressions.
'Double huh? Kev? Where are you?' he thought as soon as his grasp on his friend completely dissapeared, his hand grabbing on thin air.
"HaHaHa! Where ya looking at pal? Aren't we going to make those bastards fall?!" a loud voice made it's precense to his right. The voice came from an armored person with a slight bulky build but same stature as Von, 1.60. Equipped with a 'lance' in hand, the lance more alike as a super sharp screwdriver ready to penetrate anything and everything.
"Shut up. I hate noise" despite his surprise his words short and cold. The main reason of his dislike to talking is the noise, if he could he would make everyone mute to never deal with noise again.
'HaHaHa! As ever. Telephaty the better!' better, in your mind you can't make your voice louder, try it, you'll fail.
"SMASSHH!!!!!! SMASH FTH BASET!!!!!!!" a very loud and thondorous made it's precense to his left this time.
"Shut up. I won't repeat myself" he said once again, this time not surprised in the slightlest to the new appearance. His friend John, previously a hammer, now a fully armored dude with a very bulky figure, but the same height as Von. Equipped with a giant hammer 1.70 metter's in lenght, the head bulkier than the torso of a fully grown man.
'SMASH!!!!!!' thankfully as said, no matter how much you try, you can't make your voice louder or weaker in the mind.
'sigh..' and you Isacc?'
'Im here master' polite and quiet, not bad. His appearance still the same in the 'Astral form' but contrary to before, his expression with a calm and wise look.
'And you're smarter?'
'Yes master, i've gained knowledge directly from the system, wish to know particular information?'
'Nah, let's finish this first' siht.. are they still my friends? They're different, they're not mine anymore.. This 'system' messed them, are they still only mine? Do they have other master? Are they still my friends? Only loyal to me? Can I still rely on them? Can I trust them? They seem the same, but.. different, they have their own mind, I don't like it. They talk by themself, thisisbulsshit,they'renotmineanymoretheyhavewillcanItrustthem?BULLSHIT!
'Master, we are still yours, we will as you say, we are still your friends, your family in all but blood and flesh'
'It doesn't feel good, you have your own mind, you can betray me, you aren't supposed to think by yourself, I should be giving you the voice, you shouldn't be speaking by.. yourself.. it's wrong'

"Die Bastard!!!" his 'talk' was interrupted, one of the idiots rushed at him with a flaming punch directed at his person, completely ignoring the 2 'soldiers' next to him. Before he could react Kevin reacted faster preparing his screwdriver and in a fast thrust the boy got impaled in his 'spear'
'¡1 Thrust one shut Boss!' Kevin communicated excited showing off his 'trophy' without effort lifting him in the air.
'For killing Player 'Kenny Mc Fire Artist Lvl-1' you receive 5Exp. Your summon 'Kevin' receives 2Exp'
"Y-you bastard! You killed Kenny!" one of the boys shouted horrified looking at his dead friends. Without hestitation he turned around and destroyed the wall of the alley using a weird blue light. The one they were originally for also runned by the gap his friend created.
'SMASH!!!!' John mindlessly followed after them, Kevin following after him.
..
'So.. I can still trust you? You're still my friends?'
'Yes master. We haven't forgotten all those memories since you were 5 years old, how you took care of us when nobody else wanted us, when you created me, when we talked, when we had fun, those memories are not forgotten'
'..But you, you, John and Kevin are all from my imagination. I've known it since little but I didn't care, so how come your not imaginary anymore? Can I still trust you guys?.. Wait, have I become really crazy and those guys actually beated me and now im in a coma or something?'
'No master, you're not in a coma, and wherever you believe it or not, doesn't matter as nothing will stop only for you, everything will continue. And yes, you can still trust us because if you die, we die too, even mindless John has that in mind and is never going to betray you'
'But.. '
'Master, if you trust us or not, we will follow you regardless of your trust on us'
'..'
'Okay. If so, I've got rules that you bunch will-
'For killing Player 'Javier Illusionist Lvl-1' you receive 5Exp and 5SP. Your summon 'John' receives 2Exp'
Congratulations! You have level up!
'Von Rat 'Imaginary Summoner Lvl-2'
What summon do you want to raise? JohnLvl-1 KevinLvl-1 or IsaccLvl-1
'Master, I suggest to raise my level as I am the hardest summon to level up'
'.. How do you level up without this way'
'Reading rare books related to the game, such as alchemy, magic, monster, you get the gist'
'And how those book are found?'
'After killing monster theres a slight chance for them dropping book related to their species, there's a very rare chance for them dropping books related to alchemy or magic'
'Monsters? What monsters? Will they appear soon or are have they already appeared somewhere else?'
'They have-'
'For killing Player 'Gustavo Thief Lvl-1' you receive 5Exp and 5SP. Your summon 'Kevin' receives 2Exp'
Congratulations! You have level up!
'Von Rat 'Imaginary Summoner Lvl-2'
What summon do you want to raise? JohnLvl-1 KevinLvl-1 or IsaccLvl-1
'They have already spawned somewhere else, lucky, they haven't spawned here. For a more complex explanation, there are 2 types of monsters, those summoned and those wild. The wilds are natural, they don't belong to anyone and do what they want. The summoned are like us, me John and Kevin. They belong to someone or 'something' if that being die then they die, the protect their summoner to death because even if they die if their summoner is still alive they will sooner or later revive and live on'
'.. Okay tell me whats happening'
'I'll tell you the knowledge I obtained through the system. First of all the world is changing, but not as slightly as you have seen so far, say quest.'
"..Quest?"
'Quest Log'
'Main Quest (loading-10:03)'
-The world as you knew is changing. Soon, not only the lifestyle will change, but the entire world, along your solar system, will suffer an enourmous change. To survive those changes head to the North pole/South pole.
(Time remaining-///)
'Sub Quest'
'..'
'So to survive ill have to head to either, south or north pole..'
'Indeed master. Aside from this you will also have to survive the monsters that are roaming the world, you are going to have to kill them and get stronger to survive. But don't worry master, with us, you have nothing to worry about'
So basically the world has changed, and I have to get stronger to survive, and travel to either, north or south pole.Well, thats okay.
'Master duck!"
Everything blacked out.
