"Guys I think it worked!"
These were the first words Ethan heard when he came into being. He didn't know what he was or who he was then but he did know one think the person in front of him was his master. The one who summoned him. His name was Casey. He was a tall individual at 6'2 with brown hair and eyes. He didn't have a noticeable scars or marking of any kind and liked to stay clean shaven.
"Who knew that book was real. What should we call him? Bonehead?" Said Casey.
"That's a dumb name Casey. What if it can think you think it will like to be called Bonehead? What about Skully?" Said Jack.
Jack was Casey's best friend since they became neighbors when Jack'sfamily moved in next door. Jack a short individual at 5'9 with black hair and hazel eyes. He had a scar running vertical across his left eye something he got from being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
"That's not any better Jack. Honestly you guys are treating it like a pet we don't even know if it will attack us or not. We shouldn't have summoned it to being with. What are we going to tell out parents if we keep it. Hi Mom and Dad here is a Skelton name "Skully" don't worry he is friendly. I for one am not doing that." Said Sam.
Sam was Casey's younger brother. He like Casey was tall at 6'0 with brown hair and eyes. Unlike his brother though he always looked at the bigger picture trying to make sure things turned out okay.
"You worry to much Sam. We are just having fun and look the book says that the summoned creature is loyal to the summoner, which is me, so unless I command it to do something it won't." Said Casey.
"He is right Sam chillax and live a little its not everyday you get to see a Skelton get summoned out of thin air. We should definitely post this to Youtube people would go crazy thinking it's fake." Said Jack.
"That's not a bad idea Jack we could call it [How to summon a Skelton]." Said Casey.
"Sure post it to YouTube and when the Government takes us in and interrogates us for how we summoned a FREAKING SKELTON because when other people start trying it to mess around and it works then what?" Said Sam.
"Okay point taken leave out the incantation and what we used to make the summoning circle and then we can post it to YouTube got it." Casey teased.
"Not funny." Said Sam staring daggers into Casey.
"Okay, Okay back to the main topic what should we name the little guy? If he can think I don't think we should give him a pet name but how do we check his intelligence?" Said Casey.
"Usually in the novels I read you could just say [Status] and your stats along with you summons stats pop up." Said Sam.
"Worth a shot I guess [Status]. Holy crap it worked. said Casey.

"Guys this is so cool I have a class and so does the little guy we have the same Stat distribution so I'm gonna assume he can think for himself also it says he doesn't have a name." Said Casey.
"Interesting I wanna see if I can look at my stats [Status]. Nope didn't work maybe we need to do something to unlock that privilege? Like Summon a monster or defeat one? Cool I wonder what these [Status Windows] mean for our world are we entering the end of the world and God is giving us a fighting chance or are other worlds invading ours?" Said Sam.
"Bro you read way to many novels." Said Jack.
"Well how about Ethan? In honor of the man who changed out lives for the better." Said Casey.
"That doesn't sound to bad actually." Said Jack.
"Yeah Ethan works hopefully he is still doing well." Said Sam.
"Alright Ethan it is." Said Casey
[Are you sure you want to name your summon "Ethan"?]

"Guys I just got a Dungeon Key for naming Ethan. Do yall think we should use it?" Said Casey.
"Don't think that's a good idea we don't have any gear and there are only three of us with two of us being level zero most likely as Jack and me can access the [Status Window]." Said Sam.
"Yeah that's fair and we have classes tomorrow so we are gonna have to get some sleep." Said Jack.
"Alright well after school tomorrow we can look for some gear and see if Sarah and Kathy want to join us on this adventure." Casey said with a grin teasing Sam for his crush on Sarah Jack's sister.
"Haha very funny Casey but I think that is a great idea I'll get to show Sarah my manly side and Jack will have to get over Sarah falling in love with me." Said Sam with confidence.
"I'm all for it man as long as you grow a pair and stop stuttering everytime she is near you." Said Jack laughing.
"Shut up!" Said Sam blushing causing both Casey and Jack to laugh at him.
"Now what should we do with you Ethan? You don't scream inconspicuous should we say it's a Halloween prop or something?" Said Casey.
"That could work we could leave him in the shed that way and tell mom and dad that we found him in the dumpster near Campus." Said Sam.
"Then it's decided we will meet up tomorrow after school at the dinner on pinhook sound good?" Said Casey getting a nod from Jack and Sam.
On the way home the boys weren't stopped because they were carrying a Skelton because it was October and Holoween is just around the corner.
When they got home they put Ethan into the shed in the backyard of Casey and Sam's home.
"Don't leave this shed if someone comes inside don't move other than that you can do whatever see you in the morning Ethan." Casey said with a grin.
After Casey left the shed Ethan began to explore his new surroundings while looking around he found a dusty box with books in it. In this box there are books like [English for dummies],[Basic Mathmatics],[American Sign Language],[Holy Bible - New International Version], and [Mythology from around the World].
Ethan spent the rest of the night reading these book all while Casey was getting notifications through out the night that surprised him in the morning.
"What the heck?" Said Casey.
[Your summon "Ethan" has learned how to read and write English.]
[Your summon "Ethan" has learned how to do basic mathmatics.]
[Your summon "Ethan" has learned how to use ASL.]
[Your summon "Ethan" has learned about Religion and Mythology.]
Bombarded with these notifications Casey went to check on Ethan immediately and what he found was Ethan sitting down on the floor with many books around him reading a book called [Dracula] with the soul flame inside his skull flickering and growing brighter by the second.
"You like Dracula huh." Casey said grinning to which Ethan nodded putting the book down and grabbing a small whiteboard and an expo marker scribbling something.
"Very much Master. I would love to meet this Dracula he sounds like a strong undead." Wrote Ethan.
"Hahaha sadly you can't Dracula isn't real buddy that book is fictional. It's made up not real." Said Casey.
Erasing what he wrote earlier Ethan scribble "then is this also fiction?" While holding the Bible in his hand.
"I honestly don't know about that one bud many people say it's real and others say it was made up but I personally believe it to be true." Casey said.
This left Ethan pondering. "Interesting so Master believes in this book so it must be true." Ethan thought.
[Your summon "Ethan" has given faith to "I

"So he us real then." Casey thought having just received conformation that Gods exist.
"Well Ethan stay here and continue whatever you where doing there is an old laptop in here somewhere so you can see if it works it should be linked to the wifi still on it you can find the internet you will love it bye." Casey said while leaving.
When Casey left Ethan's soul flame grew bigger "internet?" He thought sounds interesting. He then begins to look through the shed some more till he finds and old purple hp laptop covered in dust.
Booting it up and the fans coming to life Ethan is greeted with a please update screen which he clicks yes and is given a timer for 2 hour.
Over to Casey he has just got back our of the shower and is brushing his teeth and hair along with shaving his stubble away. After this he heads into the kitchen where he greets his mother Samantha and his father Frank both of them being brown haired and brown eyed themselves.
"Good Morning. Mom and Dad how are you two doing this morning?" Asked Casey in a upbeat voice.
"Good Honey and you sound like you are in a good mood this morning something happen?" Asked Samantha.
"Something good did happen I found out what I want to do in the future." Said Casey with a grin.
"And what is that?" Said Frank with an eyebrow raised worried about what his son was going to say.
"I want to be a priest." Casey said.
His parents where shocked when he said this. Their boy who wanted nothing to do with church all his life decided he wants to be a priest now?
