Rewards

While the orcs are preparing themselves for another assault. Inside the city is a depressing mood, rows after rows of dead bodies line up on top of wooden beds. Cries of sorrow from those who have lost a love one, a friend, or fellow soldiers can be heard.

Watching the scene, even as a summon. Gerald can't help but feel pain for their lost.

Looking into the night sky, he murmurs "I hope you are safe lord and please hurry back. Your people are fighting hard regardless of their life, many have been lost."

On the other side...

After riding nonstop without rest for the last day of their travel. Both Daniel and Jessica can finally see the fruit of there labor.

"That's the mountain we are looking for my lord." said Jessica while pointing at the huge mountain in the distance.

Following Jessica finger, Daniel could see a mountain shaped like an arrowhead. It stood proudly amongst the cloud like a king while overshadowing everything else. Seeing this, he can't help but gulped hard at the thought of all those gold waiting inside.

"Let's hurry!" said Daniel anxiously.

What nobody knows is that the events taking place at honor tribe have been feed to him in real time by the system. Knowing that after the first battle, his forces suffered seventy casualties. Pushes him to cut down on travel time. Otherwise, all of his investments will be wasted by the time he came back. If it's like that then he will have to start his goal from scratch which is not ideal.

Two hours later, the dual finally reach the foot of that humongous mountain. With Jessica leading the way, Daniel made his way through an opening into the mountain. What was supposed to be a dark place is actually being light up by a golden radiance.

Seeing this cause Daniel jaw to drop.

'I'm no longer poor!!'

'Alright, I'm touching the gold wall. Let's get this done quickly.' thought Daniel.

'What happens to getting the gold right away!?'

'I was starting to like you but now...'

Speechless at the system sudden response, Daniel could only stare at the gold wall for a good minute before agreeing to what it said. But why does he have the feeling that the system personality is becoming more similar to him.

Shaking off that thought, he begin the extractions which have been speed up tremendously at the cost of half the total gold. From ten days till completion, have now been cut down to five hours.

During the whole process, Daniel failed to notice the odd look on Jessica face as she stared at his body which is currently glowing red. What amazes her even more is the fact that those gold on the cave walls is moving towards Daniel right hand.

Hearing the continuous notification in his mind gives an extremely comfortable feeling to flow throughout the body.

'Is this what it feels like to be drowning in money?' thought Daniel.

Closing his eyes to further enjoy this foreign feeling, five hours flew by and the system finally finished collecting all of the gold.

'Whatever, show me what flying creatures I can afford.'

Fire Dragon - five million

Water Dragon - five million

Earth Dragon - five million

Air Dragon - five million

Gargoyle - one hundred thousand

Griffin - one hundred thousand

etc..

'I will take the fire dragon, this will make a good guard dog in the future.'

'Yeah...who would dare bother me in the future with this monstrosity around?'

Checking inside, Daniel could see a red egg shaped token sitting quietly in one of the slots. Satisfied with the purchase, he give Jessica a good wake up call before making his way out of the cave. With no words to express the situation, Jessica could only silently follow her lord outside.

Standing in a clearing, he retrieve the token and held it tightly. Being outside, the token is giving off a scorching heat wave that spread out and burning everything it touches. Luckily, it doesn't burn the master and his people as if it can tell friends from foes.

Without a red button to pressed like usual, Daniel could only ask the system for help. He came to know that for any creatures bought from the system need to be signed into a master-servant contract by blood. The whole process is quick and you can tell if it was a success from the animal tattoo that the token left behind. Inside the tattoo is a separate world created to house the creatures.

Slightly cutting the palm of his hands, blood started to flow out onto the token. As if something has been awaken, a huge roar could be heard coming from the now dragon tattoo on his palm.

Feeling the close relationship towards the tattoo, he can't help but gently rub it before giving a command "stay on my right arm from now on and come out."

Responding to Daniel order, the tattoo started to move up his right hand. Once there, a huge portal open up beside him and coming out is a giant fire dragon. Standing at the height of a three story house with deep red dragon scales, sharp claws and teeth, and hot red mist release from its body.

Witnessing this, Jessica can't take it anymore and simply fainted. By the time she have woken up, they were already flying back with strong winds blowing at her face.

Noticing that she is awake, Daniel look at her in his arms and said "you finally decided to wake up?"
