Soft sunlight filtered in.

The rays of the sun spread their comfortable warmth.

A gentle wind blew into the room from an open window, making the white lace curtain flutter lightly.

However, in contrast with the comfortable weather, a heavy atmosphere enshrouded one of the biggest residences inside the city.

--- ---

A self-governed region established in a small city in North Khorasan, Iran.

Iran is also known as Persia, a sovereign state in Western Asia.

The world had gone a not so little transformation. Continents were split apart into small pieces. New continents and new islands appeared out of thin air.

The world map that was circulated is already outdated and unusable.

For example, Japan might be thrown in the north, Korea might have already been located in the middle of China and Afghanistan or Pakistan was suddenly connected to Egypt. All of these new changes thrown the world map into a mess.

Even after several years passed by, there was no new world map made. There were many still unexplored places and continents. The satellites in the space can’t be used, who knows if they were still even there.

Like a huge cage, the world had become a Pandora's box.

So, some cities were made up of people that were only gathered together. There already lost reliance on their governments…

That is why it was no surprise if someone or a group would stand up and suddenly take the leading scepter of a city or a region.

--- ---

The reason was the silence that fell into the living room a little while before.

...... Good grief

Captain Masoud Abed sighed in his mind. Right now inside the room, there were five people including him.

Ali Mahsid, Sara Avesta and Lemuel Jones who were governing this small city.

“........................”

And lastly, the newcomer Magwayan ( Allen’s fake name ) who was leisurely lying back on the couch, looked at the four people sitting in front of him.

The heavy silence continued.

Scratching his cheek, Allen looked at the clock hanging on the wall. The time was around half past one in the afternoon, Since they have arrived in the city, dragged in this room, roughly about half an hour had passed.

“Are we just going to stare at each other for an entire day?” Allen broke the silence. He reached out and took a fruit in one of the bowls on the table.

“Chu?” Lightning, on the other hand, was munching a pear while sitting on Allen’s lap. As for Madam White, since it would inconvenient, she returned inside the Summoning Grimoire.

Biting onto it, Allen bit on the pear. His eyes suddenly narrowed, “Boy, I suggest not continuing… I might accidentally slip my hand and severe that hand…”

“Ho, pretty arrogant are we…” Ali Mahsid snorted while speaking in fluent English.

At this moment, a Lion suddenly appeared behind him and leaped at Allen.

This sudden action startled Masoud Abed but the other two just looked and watch the fun.

This was their own way of showing who was the ruler of this place.

A greeting to put outsiders in their position inside the city they govern!

“I don’t know who was arrogant between us,”

Rock spikes protruded in the ground, stabbing the incoming lion. It then let out a painful howl but it still tried to raise its claws but before it could reach Allen, another long rock spike appeared and pierced its face.

The Lion finally took its last breath and it turned into dust and disappeared.

“Is this your hospitality?” Allen frowned. “As I have said, I was just passing by… attacking me is too much, isn’t it?"

"Seeing I have done nothing to you…”

Seeing the lion’s death, Ali Mahsid frowned. The space behind him once again distorted and another beast appeared. It was an eagle.

“Indeed, but in this city, you should know how to lower your head first. We are the rulers of this city; we are the only one who had the right to raise our heads like this!”

But before the eagle could come out, Ali Mahsid suddenly felt cold behind his neck.

In his, no, in everyone’s horror, a skeleton hand encircled Ali Mahsid’s neck while holding a rusted, ancient looking dagger.

Besides his face, a skull appeared.

Ali Mahsid was startled. The eagle that was forming behind him suddenly distorted and turned into small particles, disappearing in the light.

“Kyaaa!” the only girl; Sarah Avesta screamed in fright and leaped out from her seat. The other man similarly did.

Sarah Avesta suddenly transformed into a bestial creature.

Her body suddenly transformed into that of a Lion, tail of a scorpion and behind her back was a pair of bat-like wings.

A manticore.

As for Lemuel Jones, a huge bastard sword suddenly materialized in his hand.

[ Beast Morph ] or an ability that is similar to it while this Lemuel Jones, he should have a similar skill with Mia’s [ Requip ]. Allen analyzed their abilities.

“Aaaaaahh!!” Allen’s attention was suddenly attracted by Al Mahsid’s shout.

Surprisingly, Ali Mahsid’s torso was covered by a metal casing, easily crushing the skeleton undead.

With a confident expression, he looked at Allen, the metal in covering his torso flowed through his arms then turning into a sharp sword.

“Damn necromancer!” He snorted. “You think you can win with just these petty tricks?”

“… ..”

“If you don’t want to die, apologize in front of me, I might let you live!” He smiled coldly.

“In this city, I am God. Don’t even think of messing in here.”

Ali Mahsid was acting arrogant just after defeating one normal skeleton. The weakest undead for Allen…

“If you are here, you need to lower your head and submit!”

Allen looked at the metal sword. It should be metal manipulation skill… quite a good skill, I wonder if I should steal it?

Allen mused.

“Skeletons are weakest of all the undead I can summon…” though higher level ones needed corpse and materials so he can’t summon them right now…

Allen stood up. Looking at Ali Mahsid, he spoke: “Your ability is it to summon beasts? Ah, so I was wrong… it’s similar… Distorting reality…? I guess I’m right.”

Allen observed Ali Mahsid’s expression as he asks.

Ali Mahsid frowned.

Disregarding his expression, Allen continued. “It’s almost an illusion, however, it’s not.”

Allen heard of an ability similar to that before.

Allen smiled, “But judging from the two beasts you summoned, I think there’s a downside…”

“Still acting arrogant…” Ali Mahsid cut Allen’s words and slashed his sword.

“You should learn how to listen when other people are talking.” Allen easily grabs Ali Mahsid’s one-handed sword with his bare hand.

This shock Ali Mahsid after all, he knows how sharp his sword is. If anyone tries to catch it then they should be bidding goodbye to their hands. However, Allen was leisurely grabbing the blade of his sword.

“…now then, where am I?” Allen asks, clearly amused. “Ah right, the downside, yeah, downside of your ability is that it needed intense concentration to summon. If your concentration breaks, the beast wouldn’t be summoned completely…”

“So what…” Ali Mahsid sneered.

“But most of all,” Allen continued. Four Skeletal warriors came out from the ground beneath Allen’s feet.

They wore tattered Military Army combat fatigues and carried M16s.

Seeing these skeletons undead that wore familiar clothing, Masoud Abed who was standing beside the door was shocked. They were…

“…Magwayan you bastard!” Masoud Abed cried out. If he wasn’t mistaken, they were his former comrades that had just died a while ago from fighting monsters.

“… You can only summon the beasts with body structures, composition and internal workings you know of since you can only summon normal animals such as the Lion and the Eagle…” Allen smiled while ignoring Masoud Abed.

Of course, he wasn’t intending to summon them as undead but since they are the one who had just died in front of him, they are the only one he can summon.

He should be blaming Ali Mahsid rather than him since he wouldn’t do this if he wasn’t attacked.

Ali Mahsid glared at the Allen, hatefully. When he tried to take back his sword, the blade suddenly breaks under Allen’s grip.

!?

Allen throws a punch, an extremely simple punch…

It was a normal punch with a normal speed. Looking at this, Ali Mahsid couldn’t help but sneered and let it hit him as he controlled the metal left in his hand to remake his sword. He was extremely confident with his body’s toughness; after all, he was already a Lv3 Superhuman.

But before he could move, the normal punch hit him and…

Before he knew it, he was already stuck in the wall, in the verge of losing consciousness.

The two Superhumans; Sara Avesta and Lemuel Jones was shocked and were rooted in their position.

Even Masoud Abed who wanted to reproach Allen from turning his former comrades into an undead was struck silly. His mouth only remained open, his jaws hanging.

Allen stands on the spot; he was still in the position of throwing a punch.

Everything ended in just a blink of an eye.
