Nytri wakes up after a few days on a tiled floor of a really big chamber like a huge citadel covered in a big bed sheet with serene lights and glass windows, she rubs her eyes and yawns.
"*Yawns* What happened? Why does my butt hurt so much? Huh! Bite marks! Did something try to eat me in my sleep? King wouldn't allow anything like this to happen. *Gasp* Intruder!" She gets up on her feet and covers herself in armored shell as this time she has a draconic touch to it.
Nytri looks around, "Hmmmm, quiet, too quiet. Maybe I'm imaging things, but how did my butt get so many marks on it, I'll ask King later." She gets up to leave, she opens the huge door to see a clan of dragons helping her Army do whatever they were up to. She slams the door shut and goes back to the bed sheet and wraps herself up.
"I'm dreaming, the only way to wake up from a dream is to go back to sleep." 5 seconds...10 seconds....30 seconds... "I'm totally not going back to sleep!" She gets up, "What the heck is going on? Did they come to seek revenge because I ate a dragon?!"
She's pacing around the room, "The meat was a bit chewy but it was by no means sweet….. No, no, no, no, I can't tell them that. Right, maybe they're friendly dragons and don't know I ate one."
She checks her breath, "Haah haah *Sniff* no dragon scent, yes! No one will know I ate dragon meat." Inhales, exhales, "Okay, be calm, be calm, I'll just walk out the door and pretend nothing ever happened. That'll work right? It did whenever I got meat from old Dae's trash bucket." She starts to walk to the door, she opens the door and sees the same sight before here.
She walks out covered in ARMORED SHELL and pretends like it is a normal day. There is a barrel with water 10 meters before the room, she goes there and gets ready to wash herself. She looks and notices that they're on the central island.
"Huh? When did we move in?" she deactivates ARMORED SHELL and gets to washing, a dragon comes and she freezes.
Nytri's thoughts, "It's not awkward to fight naked, right? I hope I don't have to." She speaks up, "Umm do you mind? I'm cleaning myself."
Dragon tilts its head, "....Oh sorry, I didn't see you use your tongue but then you're human. Continue." The dragon moves away.
Nytri's thoughts, "My tongue, Blergh." She shakes her head and gets to cleaning, she finished and an automaton brings her clothes, she wears them, for some reason it's a royal garment.
Nytri checks the garment, "This is new, I'll just put it on and see what happens." She dresses up and a humanoid golem(5meters) gesture for her to follow. She is curious as this rarely happens. She follows the golem to a throne and before it are the dragons, 9 stood before the rest which numbers around 30. Nytri sits down unaware of what to do or say, King steps forward, and clears his throat?
King smiles, "Ahem, the one seated before us is our leader and ruler, Her Majesty Nytri." Nytri's army bow to Nytri.
Nytri's thoughts, "OH, is this some kind of play? I wanna see how it ends." She gets excited.
Elektra steps forward, "I'm the sky dragon queen, Elektra. Nytr- " She sees King pull a knife in the corner of her eyes and feels a chill from the Golem set, "Your Majesty, we came here to pledge our allegiance to you and hope you'll accept us."
She bows along with the other dragons while her thoughts, "WHERE DID THESE CRAZY GOLEMS COME FROM?!!!!! AND THIS LITTLE HUMAN IS THE SCARIEST! ARE ALL HUMANS LIKE THIS?!" all of the constructs are using the fear skill and no undead is in sight because they are on guard duty.
Nytri's thought, "I wasn't given a part so I don't know what to say, this play is like how people speak with kings.... I'VE NEVER HEARD HOW A KING SPEAKS!!!" She is silent as she remains composed, her aura isn't hidden and they find it hard to breath.
Elektra's thoughts, "Does she not want us? Does she not see any use in us? If we don't have any value she might kil- "Nytri finally spoke.
Nytri looks at them, "Uhhh, Line?" The dragons collapsed on their feet,
Igma gets up in a frantic manner, "Wwwwhat do you mean line?!"
Nytri folds her arms, "Well I've never heard of this play before?"
Dragons, "Huh?"
Nytri looks at them, "Huh?" the wind blows by
..........
Elektra laughs, "Hahahaha, sorry, I seem to misunderstood you. We thought you knew why we're here."
Nytri shakes her head, "No, I just woke up a few minutes ago." King walks up to Nytri and decides to brief her on the dragons' story.
King whispers, "My liege, the dragons came here to work for us."
Nytri is surprised, "HUH?! But I can't afford to hire them, what do I even need them for?" Dragons felt a shiver and Nytri addresses them, "Sorry everyone, I can't afford your services, I guess you might have misunderstood since my servants are building this place, you might have thought I needed help. Sorry about that." Nytri bows and apologizes to them, dragons are confused.
Elektra rubs her chin, "Uhh sure, sure, sure. We thought you needed us for work so we came, I guess it was a misunderstanding."
Nytri smiles, "Oh but feel fry to stay if you want, I'm sure Chef King has made some delicious meal for us." King grins with pride as he has ladles in his hands, Nytri's thoughts, "Where was he keeping those?" Nytri continues, "Anyway, I'm sure King can whip up something tasty. Dragons like meat so some monster meat will suffice right."
Igma's thoughts, "I hope she's not planning on making us the dinner. Alright Elektra, let's get out while we still can."
Elektra smiles, "We accept."
Dragons are shocked, "HUH!!!" anyway, King makes a delicious dinner for them and they ate heartily. The actually came to surrender to Nytri since both sides are keeping a secret of their own, they didn't want to reveal, a dragon called Drake especially took a liking to her.
Fortunately, or unfortunately Nytri never knew of love so they moved on as friends. They spend a week with Nytri and go back to their homes on the lower floors and life goes on. Nytri also didn't get any troubles from the dragon clan, the rest of the dragons there were monsters' so fair game.
Nytri sits in the huge chamber as she looks at the ceiling, "These constructs are quite talented, they helped the undead to develop and evolve so many times. When King fought that boss monster and lost some of the constructs and undead, they were truly lost, I couldn't restore them even after rebuilding them from the same parts. If King and the others were to fall...*Sighs* Wait, that data lake thingy, can't I link them to it? I can even make it a storage space for souls to even keep the undead. INFORMATION MAGIC, time to upgrade the data lake." She hears a voice in her head.
[Getting ready to run multiple simulations on Data Lake.]
Nytri lies down and goes to sleep as rather than joining in on the process, she lets the skill manage everything because she still couldn't comprehend the data lake because she sees it to contain too much information at this point.
Nytri wakes up and sees that it is night, "Looks like it was a success, Link all my servants to it."
[Link complete. NOTICE, DATA LAKE can now be used to store you soul and revive in any location that has your summon there or around anyone with a high level of INFORMATION MAGIC.]
Nytri, "….. I just wanted a place to keep these guys not a cheat death, but it's still good. Thanks a lot. My servants listen." All her servants stop moving including those on the 5th 6th and 7th floor fighting adventurers, but they are the bosses so no harm. "I've linked you all to the data lake, I don't want to lose you all permanently, so I'll organize the place and make a space for souls so you can stay if you die. I'll revive you then whenever I can." All her servants bowed including the variants monsters under her.
Nytri gets up and stretches a little as she leaves the room, "King, I'm ready to move, since the next floors are filled with friends, we can just skim them and head to hostile floors. Also- "
[NOTICE, a solution to push the human form beyond the limit has been made. As human her level was back to 80*Refinement. EP Crystals can be refined from external EP to strengthen EP in the body to increase stats. This requires Nytri to stay still as the EP in shell is refined.]
Nytri's thoughts, "Great, thanks again…. Wait! What do you mean shell?"
Information Magic, "The body is a shell for the soul."
Nytri's thoughts, "Oh yeah? Whatever." And she speaks to King, "King, Let's get moving, I'll be refining my body to get stronger so you'll deal with the fights. I think I can refine you and the other also as we move on so you'll be 10 times no 1000 times stronger!!" she gets excited, she's really did achieve this as all her servants got a +1000 boost to all their stats.
Nytri sits on a platform-like golem as she sits down with her back on the walls of the golem and started to refine her body, for every minute her senses of EP gets sharper as her body grows stronger with more stats and this affects her servants. Alone Nytri was formidable but now with her army, she is unstoppable.
