" How's the setting up going Solomon? "
" Pretty good, Nath has already ordered all of his formation master's to lay the formations I've given him. Give it another month and the entire base will be covered, by then we can infiltrate. "
" Perfect! Since that is going good how are you doing on powering up? "
" Better than perfect, I have gone through and revamped my tattoo's so my stats have technically doubled despite not showing up on my screen. Combined with my formation's I am beyond confident to take down Nath. "
" Alright then shall we call a family meeting to call upon Loretta and Deam that way we can inform them of the situation? "
" Sure. "
After that Gabby and Solomon entered into Solomon and Loretta's world. The world wasn't much different though Khan the Tribulation Slime was as big as a mountain from over eating. Many of the plants had also become larger or more vibrant. The last noticeable change that had happened to the world in the three years Solomon had been with Gabby was the massive increase in population. Many of the creatures Loretta had created started breeding amongst themselves creating even more new species, which was Loretta's goal.
The mama Dragon Hen had started her own clan as had some of the other rulers of that world. Mama Hen had created a clan with a bunch of dragon blood creatures that she had kidnapped and made into her harem. Her favorite toy was a creature that Solomon had Loretta make that way he could apologize for eating her child, even though it was already dead. The creature was a basically a Roc blooded creature mixed with both dragon clan's blood. Using such a talented creature Mama Hen had created a truly powerful clan that could hold out against the five other big clans alone. The six clans were The Dragon Chicken Clan, The Beheamoth Clan, The Mountain Clan( which was the only humanoid clan ), The Slime Clan ( started by Khan ), The Supreme Clan( made of bears, tigers, oxen, bulls, lions, and some dragons ), and then there is The Flight Clan( made up of only birds ).
The Dragon Chicken Clan is made up dragon blooded creature with Mama Hen as the matriarch. The Beheamoth Clan is made up of giant blooded creatures with only the strongest having the right to rule, the current leader is a massive monkey that Solomon likes for some reason( the monkey is Solomon's fanboy ). The mountain clan is made up of only humanoid creatures who take after dwarves. They are short and stocky and are known for their strength, alchohol, and the fact that they like to dig mountains. Not into mountains, they literally did out mountains. The Slime Clan was made when all the slime blooded creatures started flocking towards Khan. Khan being the gentle giant he is decided to take them all under his wing and set up a small island made up of various elements for the slimes to train. If the slimes weren't always eating and instead decided to fight then they could easily take control over the world. The Supreme Clan is made up of any race of animals they only care about physical strength, thanks to that they are frenemies with the Beheamoth Clan. Allies who look out for each other but always duking it out with each other to see who is stronger. The two clans have had much inter marriage and they are one of the reasons Loretta had her goal reached so fast. The current ruler of the Supreme Clan is a green Ox who is Solomon's smoking buddy. Last but not least is The Flight Clan who is made up of only creatures capable of natural flight. They aren't particulary strong but they like to use Guerrilla warfare to antagonize their enemies, they also don't have a base that can easily be attacked. Thanks to that they are mainly left alone, their current ruler is a small royal family made up of Roc blooded creatures. Solomon very much liked all of the clans so he generally tries to keep them all friendly with each other, he also trains some of the younger generation when he can. Thanks to that many of the creatures see him as a sort of God though Solomon always denies it.

The first thing Solomon did upon entering his world was to gather up the clan heads and some of the younger generation who he got to training. Solomon couldn't actually advance much more until he leveled up, so he had taken to getting himself a hobby to occupy himself. This lead to him creating thousands of totems for his children, he also made hundreds of cars for Deam's son Fear Coille, who Solomon remembered really liked cars. Solo had also recreated many things from earth and had even made a formation to connect to the internet despite not being on earth. He did it by using up the Mana that had combined itself with the earth and the internet signals. Using his internet connection Solomon made a Youtube channel where he filmed a bunch of crazy stuff from his world and then passed them off as animated videos. Somehow people actually believed it.
" Alright Mama Hen, Sun( Solomon's fanboy ), Konstatine, Khan, Old Man, and Himmel who do ya'll have for me to train? "
" I've brought my oldest daughter Flaun. " Mama Hen walked up while pushing a young female chicken with her massive wing. The young chicken, Flaun, seemed kind of scared of Solomon despite being the same size as him. Finally she got the courage to walk up and talk to him.
" Hello. . . . Ki . . . . .King Solomon. " Saying that she hurriedly bowed and spread her wings while quickly shuffled back to her mom. Solomon and the other powerful creatures were amused by the cute antics of the young chicken.
When the chicken finally got back Sun walked up Solomon checked him out, in a non-sexual way. Sun had dyed his hair to match his favorite person in the whole world, Solomon. He wanted to change his eye color but sadly had no way to, this lead to him having sky blue eyes that didn't match well with his artificially golden hair. Sun also practiced staff arts like Solomon and he focused on his physical body. The biggest difference Sun had with Solomon was the fact that he wore an accessory around his tail, it was a woven bracelet that was supposed to be worn on his arm but couldn't fit sadly. It was given to him by a young orphan who he had saved and raised as a daughter. Wearing it around his tail had created a new tradition in among all the clans, the tradition was for children to give their parents a gift to where to always have the child with them even in battle.
When Sun reached within arm distance of Solomon he pulled out a mischievous brown furred ape with no tail. The little ape was quite cute despite having a dog like face that always showed his sharp teeth.
" Big bro, this is Gat, another orphan I found while out in the forest. He is pretty talented though I can't get him to train. I was hoping you could sort him out. "
" It should be a few months before my companions show up so I should be able to mellow him out at the camp. "
" Thanks big bro. "
With that Sun walked off while still carrying Gat by the back of his neck. The camp Solomon mentioned was a training camp he had built to train the younger generation, it was complete with an obstacle course, a cafeteria, a single dorm room, showers, and an entertainment are. It also had a library made up of Solomon's personal collection of books, though nothing dangerous or to important. Solomon also wanted to have a Dao room, but he figured that there would barely be any kids who could actually understand the Dao even with the room and any who could could still study the Dao without the room.

When Sun got back in line Konstantine walked up with a young gray skinned kid. Kon explained that the kid was extremely talented and so he was chosen. Solomon accepted him and Kon walked back into line.
After that Old Man who is Solomon's smoking buddy and Himmel the current king of The Flight Clan came towards him with their own younger generation. Old Man had a small turtle with a tree growing on it's shell which truly surprised Solomon. Usually is a turtle has a plant of any sort on it's head it means that it is part of the World Turtle Race, the same race as Aopara's mom and dad. Aopara himself is part of the Realm Turtle race which is slightly different in that they travel the multiverse, while world turtles grow their own world. The world they grow is centralized inside if the plant growing on their body, that is why Solomon was so surprised to see the kid. Himmel brought up a young bird who he explained was his kid, Solomon expected that of course since they always do it.
When all the kids were introduced Solomon brought them to the camp to start their training.
" Alright Flaun, can you use the fire breath yet? She shook her head yes. " Wow that's amazing, I don't think even you'e mom could use it so young. "
When Flaun heard his praise she seemed to perk up and gain a little confidence, of course Solomon wasn't lying either the young girl truly was talented.
" Then I want you to study the different types of fire magics, once you are familiar with at least four I'm going to help you incorporate them into your fire breath. This is a skill that you can use to increase the strength of your breath forever, I also want you to excercise since that is also a specialty of your race. "
Solomon then took Flaun to the library and showed her the section that focused on fire magics. He told her to study the four she wanted and told her he would help her create them when the time came to combine the flames with her's. Flaun immediately got to work reading about all of the different fires. Solomon thought the scene of her holding the book with her wings was adorable.
After sorting out Flaun Solomon took Shorne, Himmel's son, to an obstacle course that is specifically to train flying skills. The course has a formation that blows out varying speeds of wind that will sometimes speed up or slow down. There was also many different objects that would fly out, the objects would change direction and even turn around. Such an obstacle course was best for training birds species.
Solomon then took the gray skinned kid, Brent, and gave him a shovel. After giving him the shovel Solomon then took Brent to a place with condensed earth that will be anywhere from two times harder to dozens of times harder to dig in. This was to train the muscles used for digging which will give Brent a decent advantage over his peers, Solomon also took Brent to the library to read up on digging techniques and blackmithing. The Mountain Clan is also decent at blacksmithing, though only when it comes to shovels.
When Solomon sorted out the first three he then took Gat and the World Turtle who didn't have any name to two separate places. Solomon took Nameless( the turtle ) to a specific part of the library to read up on space theories, Nameless despite being mute seemed to understand and instantly got to reading. Gat was taken to a formation arena where he would battle against enemies slightly better than him in every way. This was to make him constantly tap into his hidden potential allowing him to bring it forth. It would also make his attitude simmer a little bit.
Once all of the kids were sorted Solomon found Old Man so that they could smoke and then he waited for all of the kids to find him to ask him for help. Solomon used such a method to teach so that whoever he was teaching would develop in a natural way, this was to let him better understand their talents. Once he knew their talents he would then make a specialized method to train in. Like Gat who was better with double hatchets than a rapier. Or Shorne who was a lot better at magic than most of his clan.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road.
