3. Integration
It's been a week since that birthday party.
I'm still on my summer holiday so there's no school and I spent my holidays playing games in my computer.
I found out that I could move the game from my computer to my phone so I can play the games in my computer again.
The past week has not been peaceful at all.
Everyday Karan and his wolves pack would met a team of human soldiers and a battle occurred between them.
Fortunately, they were only 10 to 12 humans in a team so the wolves outnumbered them a lot and with Karan beast form, he could even fight tens human soldiers alone and still triumph over them very easily.
As I would expect from a champion, normal troops won't be able to take him down or even damage him at all.
I also found out that every time my subordinates killed an enemy, I will gain 1 Origin Point which I could use to buy things in the game shop.
For the past week, Karan had already tamed 114 wolves in total.
His efficiency on taming increase with more wolves in his pack as he can use them to scatter and search a large area at once rather than grouping them in one place.
The quest to expand the pack was also completed as well and I already received the Grade-Up Scroll as the quest reward.
- Grade-Up Scroll : Can be used to advance a champion grade by one. (Up to Gold Grade)
Honestly, I didn't feel anything different than how I used to.
I mean I don't really need to do anything except giving some necessary commands and my champion will do all the work.
I remembered that the shop should have new items now so I decided to check it out.
[Shop] 6D - 23H - 59M
[First Time Special Offer] 59 Minutes left
- Random Champion Summon Token 1x
Price : 100 Origin Point
- Leather Armor Set 1x
Price : 100 Origin Point
- Random Skill Card 1x
Price : 100 Origin Point
Origin Point Balance : 324
Without any doubt, since I have enough balance, I bought it all and emptied the shop.
I need to wait for another week to buy another item from the shop.
Anyway, after I bought them, the three items materialized in front of me, 2 on my computer desk and 1 on my lap.
I was very shocked because it appeared out of nowhere but I regained my composure again.
The one on my lap is the leather armor set, bundled inside a box.
I put it aside on the floor for now and look at the other two items first.
- Random Champion Summon Token
Description : Summon a random champion to fight for you.
The summon token looks like a sculpture of a man with a huge sword on his back made out of some kind of wood that feels soft at the touch but actually very solid and hard.
- Random Skill Card
Description : Use to get a random skill.
The card has a picture of a glowing book at the center for the front and a picture of a round sphere on the back while the outlines were rainbow colored.
I decided to use both of the item right there and the game system notifications then appeared.
[You have used the Random Champion Summon Token]
[Congratulation, you have summoned a Gold grade champion, Hatoz, Master Blazerker]
[You have used the Random Skill Card]
[Congratulation, you have gained the skill 'Perfect Integration']
[Hatoz]
Title : Master Blazerker
Grade : Gold
Ability :
- Flame Master(Passive) : Could control fire and flames magic at will.
- Ashing Blaze: Deal continues burning damage to the enemies 100 Meter around the host and cause and explosion for an enemy who had stayed inside the skill area for 10 seconds.
- Dawning Flame Gush: Fires a sustained blast of flame in a line that can obliterate enemies to ash in instant.
- Blazerker Vengeance : The host will enter vengeance mode that last for 15 minutes, removes all wounds and negative effect on the host while healing the host to the peak and condenses a flame barrier around the host. Increase the host damage by 100% while decrease the damage received by 50% in this state. The host will enter a weakened state for a day after using this skill. This skill can only be used once a month, and if were used twice a month will result in death of the host.
[Perfect Integration]
The host can integrate with a champion under the host banner and gain all the champion power and abilities. The host can release the integration any time the host want and the integrated champion can be summoned again. There's no time limit for how long the integration be but a champion can only be integrated with once every 3 months.
The new champion I just got looks really powerful.
He have a spiky red hair and a pair of blazing red eyes.
He wore a red armored battle robe and a pair of black battle gauntlets that have a golden lining on it sides.
I opened the 'champion' tab on the menu and this time it showed 2 champion, Karan and Hatoz.
[Champion]
- Karan - Summon / Extract
- Hatoz - Summon / Extract
From the system description, I could pick whether to summon them to a world that I choose or I could extract them.
If I choose to extract a champion, then I would get one of the champion ability randomly but the downside is that I will lose that champion forever.
So in another world, extract is a way for a player to get strong by sacrificing their own champion.
After I got to know this information, I could tell how precious the 'Perfect Integration' skill I just got.
I live in a peaceful modern world so I don't think I will need to use any skill but there's nothing wrong on trying it right?
'System, use the integration skill with Hatoz.'(Wilhem)
[Please confirm, you want to integrate with your champion, Hatoz?]
'Yes'(Wilhem)
[Initiating skill 'Perfect Integration' The process estimation will take between 10 - 12 hours.]
'Hmm... It takes that long? Well, I can wait while playing some game - Argh!'(Wilhem)
Suddenly I felt an overwhelming pain all over my body.
It was to painful for someone like me who always live in peace without any special training.
Not long after that, I blacked out.
- Karan POV-
I was resting that day when suddenly I heard a voice.
It sounds very divine and powerful.
I thought it was my own delusion from being to tired but the voice then came again and it called out my name.
Karan.
I was terrified because of the unknown but when the voice called me as his champion, all those negative feelings were wiped out from my heart instantly and replaced with excitement and hope.
God Valethar, that's his holy name, and that holy being has chosen me as his champion.
There's no one in this world who doesn't what a champion is.
The human race were able to dominate the other races because they have a lot of champions on their side with different gods backing while the other races only have one or two champions.
Some races like my wolfbeast race doesn't even have a champion and because of that we lost our home and the few survivors of the tribe made a hidden settlement, hidden from the eyes of those despicable humans.
A champion, a person who was chosen by a god and were blessed with all kind of power.
The existence of a champion is very significant for a a race as it could be a sign of the said race rise, just like how the humans who was the weakest race in this world become very powerful with the help of their champions.
And now, I have become one of those legendary figures.
I am a champion now!
I need to go back to the village fast and tell this blessed news to the chief!
Lord Valethar also gave me a task to tame at least 10 wolves for my first task.
The maximum beast that I could control was two but Lord Valethar told me that I could tame beast without any limit but it only applies to wolves.
So I tried to search for wolves and I did tame them very easily.
I don't need to fight them and made them submit like how a tamer should do, I only need to asked them and they will follow me by their own will.
As how does it work?
I don't know. I did it so naturally like I has been doing for years already.
Lord Valethar also gave me the power to turn into a wolf beast which increase all of my power and defense.
Everyday my pack will met a human soldier team that consist of 10-12 humans and I could even kill them alone very easily in my beast form.
Since then, I stayed in my beast form all day and fortunately it didn't take any toll on my body.
It feels natural for me to be in this form and I find it more comfortable as well.
I could even understand what my wolves said to using my natural instinct.
Remembering how it all start, I just realized that it's only been 2 weeks but it has already felt like years for me.
Looking at my pack now, there's already more than 2 thousands wolves under me now.
The wolves also became stronger when they joined my pack.
They became larger and their claws got sharper and stronger.
Before, the wolves height only reached my waist but now they are as tall as me in my normal form.
All of this can happen because of Lord Valethar grace.
- Wilhem POV -
'Ugh... Damn that's hurt like hell.'(Wilhem)
I woke up and found myself passed out on the floor in my room.
Fortunately my family didn't came in while I was passed out or it would become complicated.
I didn't feel any more pain now, but I still remember how painful the process was.
I sweated a lot in the process even though I passed out and it makes me uncomfortable.
I went to the bathroom inside my room to take a bath, but when I see my reflection on the bathroom mirror, I froze.
I look at my compact body, full of muscles that I don't have before.
I even have a six pack on my stomach and it looks very cool.
I then notice some red tinge color on the end of my hair, I will just say that I dyed my hair a little.
There also a burning flame symbol inside both of my eyes which give some red colors on my pupils, thank god there's a technology called custom contact lenses that cosplayers usually wear.
I also tried to conjure flame and when I thought about it, a small flame appeared on my right hand.
I can use magic now!
'This is so cool, unbelievable!'(Wilhem)
I also tried to do some push-ups and sit-ups, and unbelievably I could do 10 sets of a hundred for each of them without breaking any sweat.
'Is this what it means to have a superhuman body? This is awesome!'(Wilhem)
I can't wait to show my body off later at school to my bros, I already can imagine their jealous and annoyed look.
'Wait, let's check on how Karan is doing.'(Wilhem)
It's been two weeks and Karan has already tamed more than 2.000 wolves.
I opened the quest tab to check if there any new quest or not and there is one.
-----
[Quest]
1. Task : Expand your pack 3
Requirement : Have at least 10.000 wolves under your command (2046/10.000)
Reward : Random Champion Token - Bronze Grade

Reward : Life Potion 1x
3. Task : Spread your own religion.

-----
I already completed the 'Expand your pack' mission twice and got 2 grade up scroll in total as the reward.
I plan to use those scroll to upgrade Karan grade to Gold.
I look at the new quest and was quite baffled by it's task.
I know I was treated as a god by Karan, but I never would have thought to make and spread my own religion.
What, does that makes me a real god now?
This game is getting weirder and weirder now.
