【 Loki's POV 】
I'm Loki, 15 years old, I'm a child of one of the Wanderer clan.
My parents died while on a journey so I became an orphan.
After my 10th birthday, I receive the power given by the elemental king. I was given the privilege of having this power because, they said I have great potential. My parents were ex-adventurers, so maybe I inherent their talent. But that's not all, I gain this power to protect myself. We wanderers have three rules, first, tame your first monster at the age of ten. Second, they must be in their respective group depending on the first monster tame like the aerial monster group, land group, gathering group, and underwater monster group. I'm in the group of gathering group, since my parents were in this group I was taken by the group. Our leader, Defre-san, he's first monster was a fire spirit, there are differences between the land monster group to the gathering group, the land monster group is composed of battle type land monsters and the gathering group is full of support monsters, usually elemental spirits, or monsters that doesn't have any battle potential. Defre-san's fire spirit is a salamander, it has fire magic and also support magic for fire elemental users.

Sylph fly to the sky and survey the surroundings.
"What is it Loki?" (Defre)
"I think something is heading this way, I still can see it clearly... But I think it's a pack of wolves since I can see a black four legged monster."
"How many?" (Defre)
"I don't know but I think it's around a hundred."
"Can we escape?" (Defre)
"I think not depending on their speed and ours. Seems like we are their prey."
"I will alert everyone!" (Defre)

"Yes sir! The eyes of God shall witness everything, The flow of your movements and all the surroundings, I am the watcher 【 Arcane art: 《 Sky eyes 》 】
A magic circle appeared below me, Sylph flew to the sky and create a huge transparent dome.
My sky eyes can see anything inside the dome.
Screens appeared in front of me.
This arcane art doesn't consume much mana because I'm using the power of the wind elemental spirits while also consuming a bit of my own, I can do this for an hour perhaps.
"Let's watch for a while!" (Flet)
As we watch the colliding battle between the two groups, we see something amiss.
"Those aren't regular wolves, those are demon dogs." (Defre)
"Impossible! That number! Even though we will win, we will also receive a big casualty." (Flet)
"I know, that's why I must go to support them!" (Defre)
"But-"
"Stay here Loki, guard the children and the others." (Defre)
"Yes sir!"
"Even though I can't show my full power, I will also guard everyone." (Flet)
Flet-san summon his monster.
"Good luck sir!"
The lives of the children and the others at stake here.
Demon dogs, they are C-rank monsters, one can be killed easily but if it is with a pact they can be dangerous.
But a hundred of them is a full disaster.
"My alarm went off."
I look to the screens and found several demon dogs enter my dome.
"Get ready for battle!"
"Get ready Sea serpent!" (Flet)
The serpent became aggressive.
"Here they comes!"
Three demon dogs appeared.
"Get them!" (Flet)
The serpent attack the demon dogs with its fangs while whipping the other two.
"Two more incoming!"
"Everybody attack!" (Flet)
The whole underwater group summon their monsters and attack the incoming demon dogs.
"I'm scared!" (???)
A child come up to me and hold my hand.
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
"Ahh!!!" (Man 1)
A man screamed, he was attack by one of the demon dogs.
"We are surrounded!" (Man 2)
The demon dogs came in every direction.
"Take the others! Run! We will take care of it as long as you people are safe, we can survive." (Flet)
"Understood! Let's go everyone!"
I called all the children and ran towards the opposite direction where everyone is fighting.
"【 Sky eyes 《 Cancel 》 】"
I cancel my sky eyes and call Sylph.
"With the protection of the wind, shelter me! 【 Birdcage 】"
My 【 Watcher's 】 second skill.
【 Birdcage 】 is a skill that turns into a small house with wings.
"Get inside!"
While I was busy helping the children get inside.
One demon dog appeared in front of three children.
"Ahh! Loki!!!" (Children)
"Help us!" (Children)
"Sylph get the rest of the children and I will help those three!"
I may be not a combat type but I practice martial arts.
"LOKI!!!" (Children)
The demon dog ran and bare its mouth to one of the children.
"Not on my watch!"
I jump and kick the head of the demon dog.
"Run!"
I will slow down this monster.
"Kii!!"
Another appeared!
"Hurry!"
I punch the face of the demon dog.
And hold the frightened child to run.
"Loki behind you!" (Children)
The other demon dog scratch my back and blood flowed out.
"Run!"
I punch the face of the demon dog and kick it hard.
The other one also jump at me, I successfully evaded it and towards the opposite direction where the children ran.
This is bad, I lost too much blood.
*Awoo*
The howl of the demon dog is close, is it calling for back up?
I need to hurry.
I stumbled on a rock, my leg seems to also be injured.
"At least those kids are safe!"
I tried to sit down properly.
"LOKIIII!!!" (Children)
"You guys!?"
"We can't leave you behind, we will carry you!" (Children)
"Leave, my blood will attract the other demon dogs."
"We can't leave you behind, if you’re gone then Sylph will be gone too, the other children will be in a dangerous situation!!" (Children)
I can't talk back since its true, once the master dies, the monster will also die.

Fate of Souls
Nineteen-year-old Carter Elm awakens one morning with the arrival of the System, which shuts down modern technology and brings with it magic and beasts. With a desire to use magic, Carter begins learning it, soon setting off to enter the nearby Dungeon to complete a Quest. There, Carter meets Lucas, a wounded young man with an interest in alchemy. Together, they train to conquer the Dungeon they're trapped inside, developing a deep bond of friendship and more. When they finally manage to leave the Dungeon, the world is a changed place. Most of the population has died and survivors have banded together to form new settlements and societies. Carter and Lucas settle in to the new ways of the world, becoming adventurers like many others to protect their home and hunt what's needed. Occasionally, they even find time to go on an adventure of their own or just sit back and relax for a little while. There will be: wolfboys, catboys, fairy boys, and more, and there might even a harem of them. I haven't decided for sure if there's a harem yet or not, but I've put the tag on because it's not outside of the realm of possibility. There is also a Level reset mechanic that will come into play. This is not an OP powerfantasy. While the MC will grow strong, he won't become ridiculously powerful for an adventurer and will meet others at or above his own level of might from time to time. There will be times he struggles, fails, or needs to retreat. There is no posting schedule. Chapters will go up when I post them.
