In a Situation

So, you wanna know how I ended up in this situation, right? How it all boiled down to this?

Well, it all started when I began walking Gris and met my recently recruited spider, Paura late night. A few bandits got out of hiding and tried to run my pockets, but I ran theirs first. I got my first hostage and led me to the camp and told him to lure his boss out.

Before he lured him out, I ordered Paura to surround the camp without being caught and Gris to prepare his Wind Magic while I prepare my newly acquired Lightning Magic. Surprisingly, a strong wind and thunderstorms was brewing which is perfect for our magic.

When they caught wind, Gris and I had our spells ready and everyone was decimated, except for Fredrick. When he asked what's the reason for this, I said I just happen to be here.

Next, Nuen Mines. Ezo, Hyoran, Gris, Paura, and I went on a mission to clear out some snakes that multiplied and took over the mine. Before we went there, I recruited Noire and Schwarze.

After evolving them, I made them scouts to guard the entrance and by doing so, they found bandits and the leader, Grundel the orc.

After luring him and his cronies, I successfully ambush them, leaving Grundel isolated. We fought and I almost got clapped when he used his Warrior Spirit on me. Seeing that he's a wanted criminal in Noltia, I gave the credit to Ezo.

But that ain't the crazy part. When Hyoran and I went home to the village because of a incoming Fire Dragon, we went out to find more monsters. Viridesca, the Wind Elemental and Fennec, the fox. As I was evolving them, an army of bandits came to the village; 300 strong. I fought alongside my monsters and sustained injuries that are normally fatal, but thanks to my regeneration, I kept trucking.

I then meet Arzus, who's an Ogre and an S rank. I too went to S rank, but I reached my limit and needed to evolve. Only to get dicked. I can't rank up nor evolve because I did not normally reincarnate nor got summoned.

In the end, I killed Arzus, but not before getting info out of him. Zaneth Leotide is the leader of the Red Claw Bandits and the strongest out of all. Thanks to the system and my knowledge of the game, I know where he is.

Seeing that this is a time where bandits are rampant, Hyoran and I went to Valtuz where it is plagued by a corrupt ruler named Alphonse Yulix.

But along the way, we recruited two crows Vampa and Burya, two bears Stein and Flammen, a bull named Taudera, and an undead named Mavros.

In Valtuz, Alphonse had the entire city in his palm thanks to his Absolute Order which is an Ultimate Skill instead of a Unique Skill! At the very least, I stopped him from expanding his influence also along with the Fox Beastkin.

Just when I plot to scout him out, they trapped Mavros with a Holy Barrier, forcing me to make my move. I sent my two crows to deliver the letters and start the rebellion.

Little did I know, that mercenaries are heading to Valtuz while I was trying to recruit more monsters and recruited Zala, Santrasa, Groza, and my first Hellkin, Saeva.

When I came back, the mercenaries has come to Valtuz to get Alphonse led by Elliot and the other 5 nobles. Therefore, they're having a 7-man orgy on a bed of corruption trying to take over some places. Elliot even brought the Divine Staff of Astakiva which thankfully turns out to be fake. They summoned a Minor Angel instead.

I told her that she's being summoned for selfish gains and was able to turn her to my side. After the mercenaries are massacred, the nobles including Elliot were sent to the big house with Alphonse. As a few precautions, I hit them with Curse Magic, and stationed Saeva to guard the entrance.

A day goes by and Vampa and Burya brought the letters and is coming to Valtuz in a couple of days. But depending on couple, it could be 2 or 3 days.

However, that's not the end of it. Thanks to Viridesca's scouting with her Wind Magic, Zaneth is planning to attack and is getting impatient. With that, my new goal is to stall Zaneth long enough to have either Ergex or Noltia come first to handle it.

At first, I am facing over 2000 bandits and Zaneth in the mountain of Valtuz, but facing them head on won't do it even if I got all of my monsters. For that, I plan a hit and run.

I have Gris, Noire, and Mavros attack and then have the rest give support. Next, I used magic to trap the bandits and Zaneth in the cave so that I can safely evolve Vampa and Burya to Sunny Crow and Plasma Crow.

Just when things are going well, Zaneth tried to break through the rubble which is earlier than expected, but I wasn't planning to fight him in the first place. I placed barricades and traps to slow him down to get distance.

But even that didn't go well. He done went through my rushed defenses and prevented my retreat.

Now here I am, sitting down with my broken legs, looking up at Zaneth. Vampa and Burya are holding off an army behind me and Zaneth's army is in the cave. Also, a majority of my monsters are scattered.

Let's not forget that he is at Rank U. Rank U! Higher than Vampa, Burya, Gris, and Noire! Let's not forget that I am stuck at Rank S at the moment and my elemental magics are hard-locked.

Welp, no use crying spilled milk. Time to fight above my weight.

It shouldn't be too hard, right?
