For the next hour, David transferred Skeletor to a gathering role and made it "mine" some of the purple crystals. Mining went up three levels in that process, but the changes weren't that noticeable. Then, he used the heavier ones to hit the smaller ones to break them into useable chunks. As an experiment, he used a rock to do the same process. Sadly, it didn't work. After requesting and receiving a notepad, he noted down all of his discoveries.

Days passed slowly for David, with the built-in 3 times speed of the capsule the week before his first reconstruction surgery was especially long, more rest awaited him and more SSO to play, his parents came back from Europe and visited him quite a few times with his older brother, they still had no news from the eldest one but they knew he and his family was ok.Back in the game, David managed to repurpouse the small tunnel his critters made to exit the old cave to a nice nest for his critters, Ben laid 10 eggs and Lorne 6 after she was transferred to brood mother when her services ended, half of the plated rhinos were assigned as defenders and the other as attackers, the main differences laid in the size of the horns and the thickness of the plates, the tunneling worms were made scouts, making them a bit larger than their mom in their original form. As for their names…he just used Rhino 1 to 10 and tunnel 1 to 6, he didn’t want to name every monster he received b
Finally, David could feel more relieved when his little critters began to eat the corpses and lick their wounds. He ordered the worms to collapse the tunnels and Earl to stop the echolocation to recover energy. At last, he looked at the notifications he ignored during the hectic fight.[Rhino 1 has killed Skull rat (x7) and obtained 105 XP][Rhino 2 has killed Skull rat (x5) and obtained 75 XP][Rhino 3 has died!][Rhino 4 has killed Skull rat (x2) and obtained 30 XP][Rhino 5 has killed Skull rat and obtained 15 XP][Skeletor has killed Skull rat (x5) and obtained 25 XP][Tunnel 1 has killed Skull rat (x11) and obtained 165 XP][Tunnel 2 has killed Skull rat (x8) and obtained 120 XP][Tunnel 3 has killed Skull rat (x3) and obtained 45 XP][Tunnel 4 has killed Skull rat (x5) and obtained 75 XP][Skull rats available for summoning: 187]
After a good rest of 8 hours, he awoke again in the grassland feeling excited and nervous about the trek that his little army had to take to complete the quest. He stretched and watched a quick recap of the news to stay informed, called his family to say that everything was going well, and argue with his brother as usual. When he dealt with everything, Alex opened the door to let David jump straight back to the game.All of the members of the army were ready to set off, the Tunneling worms came back and rested well enough, the rhinos were not at their 100%, even then, they weren't going down without a big fight, Skeletor made another ax so he could dual-wield. Earl and Upton didn't return because such a trip could be dangerous, and they weren't in danger themselves with the tribe nearby, only receiving curious looks from the occasional golem controller. Lastly, the brood-mothers didn't lay their eggs yet becaus
The eggs hatched not too long after. Two little scrubs scared of Skeletor's existence that preferred cuddling with Earl, but that didn't stop Skeletor from pestering them. David smiled at the antics of the little undead and let him do as he pleased. The last battle was too stressful for everyone.[Mission complete! (Abyssal novice guidance)][Reputation system unlocked][Church of the abyss: 500/1000 {Welcomed Guests} ][Welcome to the Winged skull tribe]"At least that went better than Duat, get up boys, we can't rest yet." Skeletor picked the nameless, squirming worms in his arms, and all the group moved towards the settlement. David took a moment to appreciate it from a distance and was not very impressed by it. "It is what it is," he whispered and shook his head.As the group approached the entrance, the same Golem that Earl and Upton encountered was waiting by it. The g
As the parade was ending, David remembered. He still didn't ask everything he wanted, so he ordered Skeletor to catch up to the Chief. After a series of hand movements and charades, he could relay that David wanted to talk to him again. The Chief nodded and did the same trick again to talk with David."Do you need something, Mr. David?" Asked the rat skull politely."My army can cause corruption and potentially kill living beings, isn't that a problem?""Well...how can you drown a fish with water?""What?" David got very confused about the sudden question."Yes, how can you drown a fish with water?""It's impossible...""It's the Same with us, how can you corrupt with the abyss aura an abyssal creature?""Makes sense." David nodded and shrugged his shoulder. "One last question, do you have any currency?""We do, I was planning on introducing them to you at the fields when
As the efficiency of the tribe and the minions grew, the Forest began to feel threatened by their existence. At first, they didn't pose much threat because their weapons were not that impressive, coupled with their limited numbers and shabby strategies. However, the arrival of the army and the creation of Genesis began to give them dangerous ideas.The first raid was to test the waters, see how dangerous they were and how much firepower they could pack. After getting a good idea about how to proceed, the Forest prepared their execution with more numbers and taking out their weakest link first: Genesis. But the development that they had in just three days was too much for it to process.
The fight raged for what seemed like an eternity. David thanked that he was in a virtual space, or he would have lost his throat at this point. Numerous corpses piled up just to be burned with fire magic before the ghosts could take them and add more chaos. The numbers consistently dropped from his combatants, with a sigh, he decided it was enough."Scouts, request back-up from the tribe."The scouts silently agreed and made their way back to the tribe, avoiding as much combat as they could. David nodded and returned his attention to the bat
The [drunk] state lasted for 4 hours before changing to [hangover], halving their max stats for ten more hours before vanishing. David didn't mind it too much and let the dozen affected soldiers rest properly before the big fight that followed soon after.[Incursion in progress!][Your town "Genesis" is under attack!]
The researchers spent 3 hours trying to make heads and tails of the drawings that David drew on the ground. David guided them to accelerate the process, but he couldn't help with most of it. He could possess them in turns, but that would deplete their energy before getting anything done.When the blueprints were finished and more finely painted on a patch of leather, the architects began their job. The squirrels, rats, and the apes that broke out of their cocoon began to carve the bloodwood. But David stopped the apes from doing it. Their low crafting levels made the products too crude to function, and instead, he made them go with the other crafters to grind.Another welcomed addition was a new magical device that the tribe invente
David returned his attention to Genesis when the army safely returned to their home. Almost all of them immediately went for the kitchen searching for, but it wasn't ready yet. David looked over the kitchen and saw the cooks frantically trying to keep up with the demand for soup and meat."Keep it up, boys, I don't know why did you take so long to start but next time, try to be ready."The cooks nodded and continued their work. David smiled and shook his head before redirecting his attention to the army's stats. After a while, he nodded."Earl, search for the tribe, we need to make a deal."The banshee nodded and entered the skull tribe with haste. While Earl was in his little mission, David looked over the architects."First thing on the To-do list. Possession, Architect 1."[Warning! Unit "Architect 1" is 8 levels below the recommended threshold for the ability. The time until complete exhaustion is reduced.][00:02:12]-It's enough-Thought David, while stretching the body of Archit
While David was having the battle of his life, back in Genesis, things quieted down. After the rescue team left, the usual noises from the minions disappeared from the town. In this quietness, Cook 1, a squirrel of the first generation of the army cooks, was bored in the kitchen.His job was to purify swamp water using a high reactive aquamarine before making soup. When there were no supplies, he had to skin the carcasses and peel the vegetables with his other 11 colleagues. It was a grueling task, but one that he gladly did, as it was a command by the great voice.He saw a grey fire materializing in front of the kitchen, but he remained calm. Cook 8 pulled a rope inside the building, and a sound similar to a bell resounded. Just be
The enemy wolves were 28 without counting the boss, while David had 50 at his disposal. However, even if he almost doubled them, he knew he had a tough fight ahead. His team consisted of 20 Plated rhinos, 10 Blood rats, 10 Bone squirrels, 5 Tunneling worms, 4 Soldier ants, and Skeletor. He favored agility and stealth for the ambush, instead of going with more bulky fighters like the beetles or the snails. Also, he didn't bring any golems to the fight, as more numbers would most likely get them caught. The rewards were very tempting, but David wasn't so sure of winning the fight, so he immediately set forth reinforcements from Genesis. At least to minimize the losses he would suffer.The first wolf arrived near the Rhinos with an armor made out of stone covering its body, thorny vines came from the roof and the ground and held it as the rhinoceros charged ahead. Similar scenarios played out on both fronts, resulting in the death of 3 wolves. The Ice wolf howled again and stomped its fe
While David was distracted with the other minions, Dorime began to splash ink in the wall using the onyx. He shaped it using his little hands and used his flying golem for the unreachable places. He painted a humanoid striking a T-pose in the center of the wall, with lines near its body, as if they represented that it was glowing. Near, he made the crude shapes of various of his new and older brothers: Skeletor was a small horned humanoid, lumps represented the rats and squirrels, some tunneling worms, vultures, beetles, and even some ants.After a while, h
Even with the deaths of his units, David's mood was still positive. He managed to get his hands of the ants, and all that remained was to begin the extraction of copper. He started by summoning the Worker ants near the Gigabeetles. Five black ants of the size of a dog appeared, they twitched their antennae and clapped their mandibles."We must follow the tradition. You'll
