'Oh my, there are so many options.'
"Wait, why are all these beasts only primal in level?" As I scrolled through the list this question kept scraping against my brain.
"Well it wouldn't be right if you could outright purchase a high level beast from the beginning now would it?"
'If my beast will have to start from ground level, what would be more important?'
I scoured through the lists for multiple hours and still have yet to see an end in sight.
'Ugghhh. Why do I keep having to wait for the list to refresh?'
Irritated, I began to go through the options I liked beforehand. Of course I can choose something strong like a lion, big like an elephant, or relentless like a badger. Yet, with them starting so low I don't need a single beast. I need an army.

"Good choice, but quantity does not always beat quality. That was your one free beginners purchase. In the future you will need dungeon points to buy anything else. The cheapest thing here currently is 50 DP. Come back when you have enough." As he said that Donny's body began to be pulled out of the shop by an invisible force.
"Wait, when will the dungeon open for raids?"
"In your home world you will always get a 7 day grace period for growth. As for other worlds during the seven days, other worlds may have access to the dungeon. Yet, they will be new worlds just like your own. Also, before you ask, you will also be allowed to leave in seven days."
As everything came back into focus, he was no longer in the shop, and the shop was no longer lit. All that was left living on the plateau was the building, Adonis, and the [Siafu].
Although the [Siafu] is low level, it does have 2 abilities already.
- [Lock Jaw]
- Inflicts heavy bite damage upon initial impact
- Can stick to prey and drain it
- [Pocket Stomach]
- Extra stomach room
'Can you hear me?'
'Sqmmmm'
Although there was no auditory response, there seemed to be a bridge between their minds which allowed Adonis to understand it.
'Umm, eat, I guess. Don't ants eat to reproduce more. I don't have any male ants, so I hope she can hold it down.'
The Siafu queen then set out amongst the plateau for hours as Donny began practicing some of the martial arts he learned when he was still taking classes.
When the Queen returned she immediately began to burrow into the ground looking to make a home for herself.
'I guess it's my turn to explore this place. But first let's see if I can improve myself. I have 34 UP left.'
[1 Stat = 1 UP]
Perfect. Let me just round some of these out.
- Stats
- Strength - 5 - 10
- Perception - 6 - 10
- Endurance - 8 - 10
- Agility - 3 - 10
- Charisma - 7 - 10
- Mental - 9 - 10
- Soul - 11 - 15
'Well, that takes care of my anxiety a little. I can't decide where to put the last of it yet. What is important to me?'
'I need to be able to protect my sister, but what will help the most? Strength is good, but is it enough? Eh, for now, I will go with Perception. If I can notice things faster my response time will definitely benefit.'
- Perception - 10 - 15
'OOOhhh my body feels so good. It's like I have been reinvigorated. This is nice. I wonder how I would stack up against the 'Hero Taskforce''
Outside of the major powers, many countries around the world instantly fell to war when humans got a hold of special abilities and powers. America has held on pretty well. Right as panic around the world began to spread the word of people appearing with powers the US government announced the introduction of their new "HERO Taskforce" packed full of different Geno warriors as they call them.
Geno warriors are those who have combat focused abilities. Geno workers are those with useful everyday abilities. The ratio of Geno warriors to Geno workers is 1:300 respectively. The difficulty of progress and its requirements are normally higher for warriors as well. Yet, normally a Geno worker will struggle to fight a Geno warrior who has been awakened for less time. In some cases even 10-20 Geno-Workers would not fight a warrior.
So to see so many well developed warriors right at the beginning, many were suspicious. Though it wasn't just the US. The UK, China, India, Japan, Russia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Israel, Rome, Macedonia, Morocco, Argentina and Greece all walked out their own powerhouses.
These 14 countries were heavily avoided and a few even began to participate in subjugating the nations around them such as the United NorthWestern Front which is what is now the US and Canada, or even The Northern world which is made up of Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan. Combo countries and smaller territories began to appear everywhere.
'Alright I guess it is time to look around.'
He began to journey around the Plateau while taking in the view when he came across a pasture of what looked to be corn.
[Rock Ears]
[Rock Ear Seeds]
'It looks like this is where the queen came to eat beforehand. I wonder what the benefits she received were. Well, it looks like it was safe for her to eat, so I may as well take some too.'
As he gathered several ears of corn and seeds he continued his journey around the plateau before coming back to the area near the queen and the shack.
[Rock Ears]
[Flame Tatoes]
[Dirty Red Rice]
Setting out all the food he found, he also brought out a corpse of one of the scorpions. This will make a great stew. A few pots and spices later a wonderful smell wafted around the plateau.

'Holy crap, she gave birth so quickly. Why are there so many?'
After the announcement rang 2,997 more times, there were no more.
'3,000 that's great. I have 3,000 little soldiers.'
As he was speaking the ground around him began to become undone as 3,001 ant heads popped up from the ground all staring at the pot.
'Oh wait. That's 3,000 mouths to feed as well.'
