"Then don't just stand there, do something about the wolf, to tell you the truth my Mana has run out so I can't cast a spell again you are my only hope" Lewis shouted.
"But I don't know if I can actually take them on, I'm kinda afraid" the skeleton spoke.
"You are a skeleton, how are you afraid, you don't have feelings, use your sword to fight the wolves" Lewis shouted.
"Okay then, before I do that give me a name," the skeleton said.
"What!! what do you mean give you a name, don't you have a name, the wolf is almost up, and the rest of them are also climbing do something"
"You have to give me a name or I won't be able to return, just say I name you–then you give me a name" the skeleton spoke.
"Okay, I name you...Xavier," Lewis said without thinking much about it and immediately a mark appeared on the skeleton's forehead and his body stained with dirt began to fall off till he turned white.
"Yes, now leave the wolves to me"
[You have gained a new spell: Skeleton summon]
[You have given your summon the name: Xavier]
[Xavier's stats has been unlocked]
Lewis stared at the screen as his memories were flooded with how to cast the spell, and from the looks of it, he would only be able to summon Xavier.
"Haaaa!!!" Lewis heard a loud shout and looked downward, Xavier was on the ground with three wolves on top of him while the rest of them went for Lewis.
"Still not enough, wait now that the wolves are up here isn't now a good time to make a run for it, wait some of the wolves are practically on the ground, the moment I jump down they would pounce on me, I need to shit..."
>THUD!!<
Lewis shouted as one of the wolves jumped on his body and both of them fell on the tree, they would have fallen downward but a sturdy branch held them in place as the wolf struggled to bite Lewis.
He used his hands as a shield to shield his face from the wolf but after a few bites, he couldn't keep his hands up as blood began to pour on his face.
[-10 HP]
[Condition triggered: Blood loss]
[Effect: Lose 1 HP/300s]
"Damn it," Lewis said as he dropped his hands to accept his fate and at that moment the wolf fell on his body.
Lewis opened his eyes in surprise and a sword was sticking out from the head of the wolf.
"Yes, I finally perfected it" Xavier shouted.
[Xavier has mastered the skill: Projectile bones]
The information appeared in front of Lewis and he used his left hand to move the wolf away from his body, the sword was immediately removed, and went back to Xavier.
"You bastard wolves" Xavier shouted as he slashed through them and shot out his hand with the sword towards the wolves still attempting to climb the tree.

"Is something wrong, was he killed?" Arthur asked his assistant.
"No I checked his pod, he is still alive" she spoke.
"Then why did we lose contact with him, he was on a tree surrounded by wolves, I was planning to see how he was going to get out or if he was going to give up but we suddenly lost connection with him, but the others are still online, what the heck is wrong"
"Get him out of the pod" Arthur spoke.
"But sir, he's still online he needs to log back out before I can do that"
"Maybe it's a bug, maybe he's dead but he can't log out"
"Sir we double checked everything again and again, there's no way that would happen" she spoke.
"We did double check but we didn't send someone inside the game, I'll wait another ten minutes then we're getting him out," Arthur said.
.

Lewis looked around breathing heavily trying to check if it was actually over before slumping down beside a tree, he was sure his right hand was gone because the wolf dug its teeth deep in his hands but the pain was bearable.
If this was the real world he would have been shouting in pain, the pain was there to make it look real but it was reduced for player comfort.
Lewis tore part of his clothes and used it to tie his hand up till the bleeding stopped.
[Condition temporarily nullified]
[Effect halted]
"Wow, that was my first real fight, I did good right" Xavier spoke as he looked around.
"If you did good my hand wouldn't be in this state, but at least I survived," Lewis said.
"That's the most important thing, now that I'm a named creature, if you get killed I also die with you, so call me whenever you are in danger"
"Named creature!! what's a named creature?" Lewis asked.
"I suppose you don't know, a named creature is a summon which a name is bestowed upon, named creatures are attached to their summoner so if their summoner dies they also die, but there are many benefits," Xavier said.
"What are the benefits?" Lewis asked.
"Let's leave that for another day, we have to get you treated"
"I knew you were pulling something when you told me to name you"
"I wasn't and besides with the power that you have, you wouldn't be able to call skeletons of higher level, so there was no need, keep that aside don't you need to remove their core?" Xavier asked.
"Remove their core?"
"Yes, their crystal core" Xavier spoke as he stabbed one of the wolves again and used his sword to rip the wolf apart till he found a crystal orb, "See what I'm talking about"
"What are they used for?" Lewis asked.
"Well according to the elders who have been summoned by mages, they absorb them to gain power or something, I just know they are valuable"
"Okay then, go around and take out the rest of the crystal"
"Okay master" Xavier spoke as he moved around ripping the wolves apart for their crystals.
