Previously on MDU System:
Right after the monster core was given to his dad by Paolo, Bernie instantly swallowed the thing whole. Suddenly out of no-where Bernie was shot by different color of lightning in these order green, blue, purple, yellow, white and finally red. Right after Bernie was struck, his body started to emit different colored sparks that can be seen crawling throughout its entire body and fell into sleeping state.
Chapter 16:
How was your dad?.. Theresa(mom) asked Rose.
He seems fine, his body stopped shaking and the colorful sparks has started to calm down. I have already used the heal skill on him and somehow his body took it very well, Rose said.
Theresa then went beside her husband and kept a look out at what is happening at his body.
Mom I'll be going out for a bit, I will try to unlock the next skill after heal to help dad later on..
Ok but be sure to come back every hour to cast heal on your dad if possible, it pain me to see him like this, Theresa(mom) said.
Bro, do you want to come?
Nah its ok, me and my slimes will be guarding the house along with moms defenses and the dogs are already out defeating monsters. So take care of yourself out there ok!, Paolo said.
Aight, I'll be back in an hour.
~~ Out in the field ~~
Testing out my new seal card
I call upon the forces
that lingers in my soul
Heed the call of your empress
and become my power
Show me your new form
I summon you "RAIKOU"
I was able to summon a companion, but something went terribly wrong, I knew I had to make up an incantation to summon a companion because I tried to only say RAIKOU's name then "I summon you" and that didn't work.
I wasn't sure if I expressed myself enough that I need its former shape and power to help me power level but in the end, the shape it came out with was just its super miniature self, lets say from the size of a full grown lion what came out was a kitten.
The level might have affected its size or the incantation was wrong. Nevertheless I need to either to help it level up or when its time is up I need to re-summon it with a different set of chants
The kitten on the floor stared at me as if telling me to carry it but as soon as I tried to, the said kitten, tiny raikou immediately scampered to my right shoulder and rested there.
At my current hunting spot, few peoples have gathered most are by themselves and only a few groups are hunting together. People my age often asked me where I've got the weapon I'm using, I told them I got it as a skill. Some don't believe what I say and tried to take it away from me, but as soon as the weapon was grabbed by someone else the said weapon disappears and appear right back on my hand. ( I thought its pretty neat, that it came with a return function )
Most have given up, some have seen the weapon disappear and become a pendant, then their groups would surround me but as soon as I made a move all mostly couldn't do a thing.
Raikou have been levelling up steadily and was able to help me kill the mobs, every now and then a streak of lightning would shoot from its mouth directly killing my enemies at a single shot.
An hour goes by and met few rightful parties that offered their help to ease the levelling but I turned all of them down since all are few levels lower than myself. I also met my high level mutated pups of my brother during a field boss hunt and helped me a lot to pin the big boar down. As soon as the field boss was defeated the first key blade skill has finally been unlocked

Key-blade
I have found that the first skill that I have unlocked is pretty over powered, I tried to use the said skill on a moving tree monster which is more powerful than the field boss and as soon as the {blade beam} hit the monster, it right away split it in to two.
Each usage cost 50 MF and only able to use 4 times and as soon as the MF points are used up, my head started to feel heavy and I get dizzy.
I really need to find a way to increase the MF, if I want to spam use the skill.
On my way home a lot of people are gathering in-front of our place and heard them talking about the giant slime creatures defending the house and the 6 defence towers around the house
(The crowd)
- look! there's another group of monsters, going to attack the house.
The orange slime has started to expand until it reached 9 foot tall and started to roll like a powered wheel about to launch and when it reached its required rotating speed the said slime launched itself to the crowd of mutated pigs. All the pigs hit by a speeding enlarged slime flew to different directions and started to disappear right after the other.
The crowd of people went wild as soon as the orange slime hits the crowd of enemies and won right after
(Random guy)
- did you see that!!! Damn… that slime is over powered as hell
(Random Dude)
- I know right, taming that kind of slime could helped oneself to level up quickly
(Random girl)
- Its owner must be powerful as hell too!
As soon as the other slimes heard the people talked about how Amber(the orange slime) used their self made skill killing the crowd of monster all slimes has started to enlarge to the size of Amber.
(The Crowd)
- Woah didn't expect all slimes could do what the orange slime did.
- I bet all the slimes are as powerful as the orange slime
(Random dude)
- Woah are they able to understand us!!?
As soon as the random dude said those words the crowd immediately looked at him and with their shocked faces they looked at the slimes
Ruby and Aqua tried their best to ignore the people but Jade was nodding to the crowd
Rose started heading to the house where
Jade is currently positioned at, everyone started to gasp, since no one knew that rose lived there, everyone stayed where they stood and gasping at every moment, the girl got closer to the enlarge green slime, until they heard the girl say
Rose:
- Hey Jade! Is brother inside?
Jade just bounced to the side and signaling Rose that she could enter.
The crowd went wild not from excitement but from disappointment since they were expecting a fight between the the two but they didn't expect that the girl lives inside.
Most are speculating that the girl was the owner of the slimes but some heard her says that if her brother's in.
Paolo knew what was happening outside the house and what commotion the slimes made, he was about to do something about it until he saw his sister walking back home.
Rose:
- bro!! how's dad? Is he ok?
Paolo:
- check with mom up stairs she hasn't come down since you left.
Rose immediately went up to where her dad is resting and applied a few healing spell on him and were able to alleviate his condition. Both Rose and Theresa could see Bernie producing sparks of electricity all over his body from time to time, and since the time he went unconscious his body mass has increased in size.
Rose left after she applied a few more healing spells to her dad until she saw that his condition went to normal.
Paolo:
- how's dad?
Rose who just went downstairs told her brother that their dad is now feeling better and her healing spell just calmed his body down, she also told him about their dad's body size is increasing.
Paolo:
- Thanks sis for healing dad, btw go rest up first before you head out again and help me calm those people outside.
Rose: I'm intending to rest for a couple hours to monitor dad's condition, while doing so lets go calm those people outside.
The crowd outside the house is waiting for about 20 mins and soon saw the girl who just walked-in came out with a man beside her
Murmurs can be heard from the gathered crowd about their speculations about the relation of the two individual that came out the house.
Both Rose and Paolo went and face the crowd of people and Paolo was the first asked some questions.
Paolo:
- I saw that all of you has gathered here because of my tamed monsters and the turrets around our place.
We have observed you lot since the beginning and your not hostile to us, and that confuses me since all of you has been standing here for more than an hour ago.
All the people just stood there and looked at each other then a couple minutes after, all make way for the fellow at the back of the crowd. The fellow who seems to be their boss walked slowly heading to their side.
Rose:
- (whispering) what era does he thinks he is at, the fu** he is moving so slow!
Paolo:
- (whispering) let them have their moments for now, if they made the wrong move I'll signal the two pups to hunt them down and besides have you noticed that the turrets are now facing the crowd unlike before.
Rose:
- (whispering) fu**ing h*ll, didn't expect mom's turret been more active now than ever.
- (whispering) good work bro for calling the pups over for insurance.
The person that looked a lot like of a mafia boss from a mafia game really appeared right before their eyes, the suit, the tie, the hat and the fu**king accent while smoking a freaking cigar has finally reached the front of the crowd and all uniformly closed the gap where the fellow walked from.
The brother and sister and the boss fell into a standstill waiting for the other to make their move. Everyone including the crowd and the monsters at the back has felt the tension coming from the the 3 individuals at the front.
Rose was about to summon her key-blade however the mafia looking boss raised both his hands up and said
(Fake Mafia boss)
- Woah! Woah! Woah! easy I'm unarmed, we're just here to talk.. the heck you guys need to calm down!
Rose:
- tell that to your people too
(Fake Mafia boss)
- what the fu** guys, why you guys look so tense!! There won't be a war you know…
While the fake mafia boss told all the people about why they are being tense and there won't be a war between us. A sudden hit from who knows where came to smack the head of the fake mafia boss, everyone including the siblings was surprised and look to the hands where the punch came from and everybody saw a small petite girl standing beside the man whose face is now kissing the cemented flooring
????
- THAT's WHAT YOU GET FOR ACTING LIKE A HOTSHOT!!!
- I am deeply sorry for my dad to act this way even though we meant no harm
- by the way my name is "LinLin" and this is my dad "Wu Shang"
A misunderstanding between the two groups of people has now been straightened out by the one named LinLin which is surprisingly the real boss of their group. While the siblings and LinLin discussing about why they gathered Rose whose still couldn't believe at what just happened and asked if her dad will be ok. LinLin said that he'll be fine thanks to his awakened skill and told the rest that her dad only need to sleep it over.
(Her story goes like this)
Once LinLin and her dad Wu has awakened their supernatural abilities both continuously hunted monsters until they met with few confused people along the way and helped them to familiarized with their own abilities and made a faction over time and proposed that their leader would be the strongest in the group which was LinLin. The group has started to protect where they lived started stacking vehicles at each other and placed all of them at all the entrance of their small community to separate the threats but by the time the attacks from the outside has started to get worst, one of the members of their group stumbled a house with turrets and monsters protecting it from any attackers without fail and then told the others which leads to what happened then.
After Paolo and Rose heard the side of LinLin's story both still couldn't believe that they have not notice them from the start and was able to form a faction as well. LinLin also heard a short story about their situation which was their dad is currently in constant need of healing magic to better his condition every so often, that is why the need of over protection at their property.
LinLin proposed a solution to help anyone in their family to know when is the right time to start healing they're dad so they could unlock what they need to fully revitalize their family member. One of her men could duplicate himself and could communicate with each other no matter the distance and told the siblings that she could let them use the persons ability in exchange for their help to defend the community they have.
Both Paolo and Rose agreed to the terms which was also discussed after to their mom Theresa.
Theresa went with LinLin with 2 slimes guarding her well being to set-up turrets along all the entrances in their community to ease the stress of the other protectors of their little community. While doing so Rose and Paolo would be staying with their dad instead and will start hunting monsters again after their mom returns.
