Chapter 07

The twins remained in the center of the room untouched and undisturbed bathed in the darkness for an untold amount of time. They were in a sense forgotten about. The old saying of out of sight out of mind applies here to some degree. However, for the twins themselves, they did not mind, or more like they could not mind as they were laying dormant and inactivated.

They were not aware of the passage of time in their current state nor aware of their surrounding either as they were in an inert state be it their bodies and minds which were converted into the diamond like substance that their forms had taken. That or the weapons their souls had taken that slumbered within the hollowed shells their form unknown to everyone as result.

Though one day all of sudden the light were turned on for the first time in a long time. Again the length of time is unknown as well as unimportant as it seems that there was a schedule though. The materials that were obtained be from the shells of those that whose weapons were obtained and being put to use. Or through the ones that were not deemed capable of being weapons but instead used as merely material for the number of other things amongst them being weapons.

It seems that while there was no threat of a demon lord or anything like that which would warrant a summoning of people from another world. Rather than being summoned to serve the people they were being summoned for power and greed above all. The power of those that were processed into weapons that would be used for the purpose of the owner. The will of the one that originally possessed the power is meaningless and in some cases snuffed out to the point where they just act alone. A sentient weapon without a will but the ability to communicate, listen, and carry out orders as commanded.

The greed was that the diamond like substance that was by product of their creation. What happens to everything else in the smelting and forging process of the soul into a weapon. That was what the currency of this world had become as well. A version of it at least as there was no way to counterfeit this type of currency even on the black market. Present with a counterfeit proof form of currency it became the normal one rather quickly.

The reason it could not be faked was because of how it was made as there was no way to replicate a substance formed from smelting otherworlders as they did. There are still fools that try and they always learn the hard way that they should desire their weight in the currency as those that do learn firsthand the error of their ways.

Anyway with the light in the room has come on it illuminates the twins who started to collect some dust on them from being left alone unchecked and attained for so long.

"What is this statue doing here," someone from the summoned group said noticing them.

"Why are we naked" another one stated.

"Seriously look at how life like and realistic these two statues are though," a third said.

Then the group all of sudden finds themselves in the white void space.

"Is that a mountain?" the first one asked noticing it.

"Yeah and are those two stuck one in the ground and the other in that mountain," the second said

"Why does it feel like they are coming at an alarming speed," the third said.

"Wait are those two sticking out the statues that in that room where we just appeared naked inside of" a fourth asked.

"They really are truly life like as if crafted from life itself," they said as they got closer and closer to them.

Not noticing that there was no longer anyone around them anymore the fourth person continued to see the mountain in the distance seemingly approaching them. The fourth person then vanished themselves absorbed into the ground vanishing without a trace. The other three were now noticeable to a small degree as part of the mountain but only an outline on its surface. None of them stuck out as the twins did.

Back in reality...

The group had been fully smelting and forged into weapons and the rejects in the other room had just become complete statues that would serve as materials.

This process would be one that would be repeated again and again and again over time. In some way what would happen would become a game to Cruz to a certain degree. He had found that just interacting with the groups that were summoned before the smelting and forging processes could start was not interesting anymore. This way was truly far better than what he was doing before. Not only did the twin statue serve as a distraction in his place. Depending on how he framed things and even what he revealed to them. Cruz was able to see a variety of different scenarios from the group realizing what going on and what fate had in store for them. This still did not even account for what they would do on their own without his butting in or revealing anything to them. They would rage and some would even try and buy time while selling out others.

The result would always be the same however as they would become weapons in the end and then be doled out to those that had come to acquire them. After some time of trying different ways of messing with the otherworlders before they would meet their ultimate fate, Cruz came up with an interesting one that he wanted to see how it would play out.
