Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

[Day 8]

Day 8… Well, maybe not outside, but I will also count the days that happen inside my Inner World as well.

Anyways, Gaia suddenly woke me up, she had sneaked into my System and somehow popped up as a little earth-shaped hologram, floating around me like an annoying fairy from a Zelda game.

"Hey listen! Guardian!"

"You can call me Gustav," I sighed, as I was eating breakfast made by Kireina and the other summons.

"Gustav, you have to hurry up! After this, quickly go outside, we need to save the planet…" said Gaia.

"Don't pressure me… But I already told you I was going to do my best," I said.

"B-But there are so many… lives being lost every second…" said Gaia.

Sigh…

"Look, I told you I was going to defeat the monsters and other invaders and try to save the people. I said "TRY" not that I was going to do it without failing. Nor I said I was going to jump straight into the fry… It would get me killed. Whenever we go outside I will have to defeat as many monsters as I can and quickly grow stronger, but if I got to the big cities, I am going to get killed," I said.

It was true. I might sound like an asshole, but it is true.

"I see… I understand. Sorry for hurrying you up, Gustav," said Gaia, apologizing.

Well, she understood quite quickly.

"Thanks for understanding," I said.

"Well, even then, we have to hurry, if we don't want to lose the extra drops and stuff from the first day," said Kireina.

"Oh, you're right!" I said. I almost forgot that was a thing.

"I did that to incentivize the people to kill the invaders, but it didn't seem to have worked…" said Gaia.

"I wonder, can you make it permanent for me?" I asked.

"Ah, no, I can't. I used a lot of energy to do it. And I don't have much energy anymore. Well, I have it, but if I use it, I will lose too much power and might weaken," said Gaia.

"I see how it is… How can I help you regain more power? By killing the invaders, right?" I asked.

"Yes, as you already know, I can regain power by absorbing a part of the energy of these invaders, which is also converted into items to boost your progress… The more die, the more I recover," said Gaia.

"I see. If you recover enough, we can get more power in return?" asked Ervas, rather curiously.

"I wonder the same," said Anna.

"Yes, the more power I can regain, the more will Gustav and in result, all of you will get… I believe that if you all work together, you should be able to defeat even peak SSS-Rank entities, although it might take some time and effort," said Gaia.

"Hm, we got a lot to grind then! Can't wait, papa! With you and mama, things are always fun no matter what!" said Vudia while smiling cutely. She was sitting over my legs while eating all sorts of small desserts we got from the Walmart the other day, from gelatin, flan, and yogurt… She had a big appetite.

"That's right, I will appreciate your help, Vudia," I said, petting the cute cyclops fairy girl. She quickly began to eat another flan while moving her legs around.

"Hm, well, after we get out, we'll have to rush a lot of stuff, so we better prepare well Master," said Kireina.

"Oh, the plants are growing a bit more…" said Ervas, pointing at the window.

We quickly walked outside to see the seeds I had planted growing a bit more, they had already become full-fledged sprouts, and they seemed healthy and green.

We quickly poured some water over them, and then I decided to check some system announcements…

Ding!

[Monster Hatchery has produced a Monster Egg!]

[Monster Hatchery has produced 1500 Gold!]

[Monsters inside the Monster Hatchery had gained EXP and leveled up!]

[Undead Graveyard has created a new Undead!]

[Undead Graveyard has produced 1200 Gold!]

[Undead Monsters inside the Undead Graveyard had gained some EXP and leveled up!]

Oh! It seems that only after a few hours do we get to see some results straight away…

Cuco and the other tamed monsters leveled once through the night and- there's an egg?!

And there is also a new Undead that just popped up… so let's go check it first.

I rushed into the Undead Graveyard by myself, as I found the new member that had been merely created by this residual phantom energy…

It was… a Ghost of sorts.

It was a small floating flame, a will-o-wisp.

It was B-Grade, quite strong that one would expect of such a small phantasmal flame.

But I also noticed something, two Undead Goblins were gone!

So… they fused to create a new Undead? That's quite interesting… so there is a chance for the Undead in here to fuse and form an even stronger Undead. Though it would be dangerous if it were an Undead I am close to, but I didn't really care about them.

The wisp flew towards me as it rotated around me happy.

"I guess I will call you Wisp for short," I said.

"Foooh!"

It produced a small sound, more like the sound of its flames…

Wisp quickly stuck with me, and I ended putting two more Undead Goblins there for the moment. Wisp might have some talent, so I brought it with me.

After that, I flew towards the Monster Hatchery, where I found an egg in the middle of the house.

I glanced at all four of the monsters, as I wondered who the parents could be… The egg looked very plain, it was white with green dots spread all around.

"Okay, who did this?" I asked, but all the monsters seemed to not know.

"Wait... What? You're telling me that this thing just popped out of thin air?" I asked.

The monsters didn't knew how to speak but were intelligent enough to understand their master's words, and seemed to nod.

Weird… But okay, I guess it is really just like a game.

Let's see…

[Mysterious Monster Egg (B-Grade)]

The egg produced mysteriously inside the Monster Hatchery. Will hatch into a monster after a day.
