Lord of monsters?
The hell does that mean?
Walter was trying to figure out what the passed-out old man meant by those words.
It certainly didn't ring any bells, he then looked to Trisha with an inquiring look, the Rogue's reaction was a simple shrug, He clicked his tongue then opened his bag.
Since things were done here Walter activated a portal then sat down while telling Trisha to head back first with the old man.
She was going to refuse at first but Walter simply gave her a hard look that said so much more, the old man needed treatment, he needed to wait for his summons all while hoping for the best.
Trisha finally relented as she gave him a worried look as she said to him.
"Be careful."
Pft Walter let out a chuckle as compared to their first meeting she was very nice now and actually worried for him~
He nodded while waving her goodbye, Walter looked towards his Summons thinking back on how much he owed them, the two bird brains, after collecting the loot from the corpses, took their usual spot while Yin and yang took spots on high points to keep watch as they waited with their summoner.
These monsters were something he began to care for, they stayed with him through thick and thin, his comrades, his family in this world.
The last part was something that just suddenly came to mind, it felt N̵͖̭̮̪̬͉͊̓̎̊̓̎̍̉̔̿̿̃̽͂͠ȁ̷̡̡̳̩̝͎̬̥̐̾́͆̾t̸̮̫̯̜̏̋̉̓̆͐̀̎̂́̕͝͝ͅu̸̜͓̳͔͓͕͇̫͈͐͊͝r̴̖̳͇̾͆̊̇͊̉̋͌̍̑͗a̷͚͓̟̓́̔͌̅̌̇́̀͑̓͝l̸̨̻̗̱̻͈̺̊̈́̃̏̌̏͑͌̐̐̑͛͋͜͠ͅ.̶̡͈͙͆̐́̏̈̀̊͒̈́͒̆̀̕͜͝͠
Something that he felt after that strange message appeared.
Walter looked at his hands, which were covered in quills and runic markings, before thinking of something never got a chance to think about.
He was slowly becoming something inhuman, wasn't he?
Is it a good or bad choice made?
Is this permanent?
or is he now part of this wretched world?
He thought back at his time with his stepsister with him gone...
how is she now?
Will those greedy relatives try to take everything again now that he wasn't there?
Fucking scums!
They tried to do so previously when he was younger before they found out about the will that their parent made.
He was only ten years old at the time, with his new sister being a year old.
The memory of them smiling so viciously as they took what they could under the pretext, they were too young to live in the house alone.
Brought an angry look upon his face, especially when they had to go through that for a whole year before they got most of their stuff back, and he almost lost his sister to an orphanage that was closely connected to the relatives that only sought to satisfy their greed.
the relatives that Walter was talking about attempted to kick them out of the house and tried to take everything for themselves like a pack of starving hyenas.
His current abilities made him want to unleash hell upon them, but the momentary lapse of cruel ideas quickly passed a better idea came to mind before he satisfies the urge, as ruining their reputation, and livelihood was better than physically beating the shit out of them first!
But until then, he's stuck in this world, for only God knows how long, hopefully, his ability will be more than enough for the upcoming trials that he'll be forced to face.
He laid back onto the ground looking at the dark skies, as his monsters kept an eye out, well other than the two that were now preening his hair while Walter took this moment to relax.
But he was unable to, Walter was afraid to close his eyes, only to see that dream again and to feel that feeling of fulfillment as those voices called to him, asking him to join them.
But his fears were quickly washed away when the feeling of more power surged through his body!
Hairy was promoted into an Elder shaman, with Tarka and Berhald both becoming elder goat men as well.
Walter needed to get stronger, he needed more summons, more power!
So he ordered the two blood hawks to collect the loot from the massacre his four summons left past the red portal.
All while he braced himself as Walter held the good number of these purple pebbles, then ate them all!
..... he felt nothing this time.
No bloating feeling or pain or anything like that so he checked his stats and that of his summons. it was a sight to behold.

well there are certainly some monsters similar to the ones he had before and the plus sign that his stronger monsters had made him wonder.
is there a limit to it?
and how much stronger are they compared to the regular ones?
Harley's stats were a surprise apparently it has the lesser ability to use the ice element even it's poison had that~
while he'd love to break his limit right now, Walter wanted to get his other stuff taken care of, because...
what if breaking the limit has some greater consequences than what could be seen now?
while Walter would love to get stronger, he wants to remain as human as possible!
So after thinking about this, he entered the portal but the situation he saw upon reaching the encampment.
they were facing a bunch of Corrupted rogues that were well equipped, lead by a woman with a large Staff.
"Bring me the one that can control monsters or me and my sisters will lay waste to your encampment!"
Not only did he arrive at the worse moment possible, but everyone looked at him with mixed feelings, to protect him would lead to their ruin from the sheer number of Rogues and Mages the enemy had, to abandon him could also be the worse choice possible as what if he was worth more to the person seeking him than they could possibly imagine.
But now, they had to make a choice, protect him to the bitter end, or give him up and hope for the best.
What will they choose?
