2022-05-16 20:22:14Rio carefully considered which choice would be best for him.
All of them seemed to have great potential for him to become a stronger monster aside from the Pomeranian.
The Berserker would have been an obvious choice but the downside was heavy. He would be able to gain more power along with a much larger body to handle his opponents easier. But on the other hand, His new appearance would definitely not go unnoticed and with his larger body, It would be far too easy to track him if he was ever spotted.
The cat seemed to be a good choice. Although, he wasn't sure how well it would fit with his current abilities. Along with being uncertain on what the class Fencer really implied.
Then there was the Influencer. To be honest, he wasn't too sure how this class would benefit him. It looked even weaker and smaller than he was currently. The only positive note was that its appearance was the closest to a normal dog.
After waving his options, Rio decides that the best choice would be the Fencer. Although the class had no clear speciality, it would still allow him to hide himself and the cat's body was slightly larger than he was currently.
Making up his mind he walks forward to select the Fencer. Reaching his hoof up to the image, his other feet give out causing him to stumble to the ground.
His body was still exhausted from the event and lifting his hoof up was just enough to cause him to fall.
Shaking his head, Rio looks up to see that his hoof had landed on an image.
His eyes widened as his mouth dropped to the floor.
[Evolution has been decided: Influencer]
Rio could feel sharp pains throughout his body as it began to change.
His body began to twitch and his limbs began to move of their own accord.
His skin began to peel away before regrowing once again.
This sequence looped until his body was about 10 inches tall.
Rio let out a whimper as he could feel his body destroy itself.
The pain was excruciating and it felt as though he was losing his mind.
The process lasted for about an hour as the pain subsided.

Rio is too shocked to think properly.
He cursed himself in his mind for making such an impactful mistake.
He almost cried looking through his changes.
His power had plummeted into the single digits. It was far too low compared to his other stats.
Although his strength had become negligible at best, he was interested in his two new abilities.
Influence seemed pretty strong as he would have another tool to help him in battle.
This ability would definitely prove to be beneficial alongside his other new ability.
Dominate would allow him to create his own servants.
He Had the servant that Alberoth gifted him but had no way to make his own. This skill could solve this problem. Now he didn't have to fight everything by himself. eventually his opponents would submit to him of their own volition.
"This might not be as bad as I thought" He thinks to himself.
The void begins to crumble as Rio is returned to the street in his new body.
Rio turns to the anomaly that had stopped its assault.
He waddled up to the now calm man and activated his ability.
"Dominate"
A pink aura begins to surround the man and slowly begins to rise.
After about a minute The aura reaches the top of the man's head.
[Domination successful]
"Would you like to name your servant?" Alberoth's voice rings in his mind.
Thinking about it for a moment, Rio gives up and decides on a name.
"I'll just call him Zack"
[Zack has been registered into your reserves.]
"Alright Zack let's get out of this place. I'm sick of this town."
Picking up Rio, Zack begins to walk down the street when he is suddenly stopped by a man wearing a familiar set of gear.
Rio is startled by the sudden appearance of an armored man in the town.
Looking around, he notices more people in reinforced gear around the town.
The man stops Zack and begins questioning him about what happened inside the thunderstorm.
Zack answers his query as if he had no knowledge of any rainfall for a while.
Saying something into his microphone the operative runs off and leaves in another direction.
Realizing that the they must be investigating something in this town, Rio orders Zack to make his way to the old man's house as calmly as possible.
"Hopefully I can get there before anyone else." he thinks to himself.
Arriving at the old man's hut Zack enters inside and makes his way into the spare room.
The door was still open and the serpent's hand member was still lying on the floor without his head.
Rio jumps down from Zack's arms and checks on the dead man.
"I guess he really is dead? I figured he would have been a bit sturdier."
Turning around to leave, Rio comes face to face with an unfamiliar set of legs.
Looking up he notices another operative with a red pattern on his uniform staring into the room.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" The operative begins to question Zack about what is happening in the house. Trying to keep calm, Rio orders Zack to answer his questions as if he was just arriving home. "I just got home and saw this man lying here." Zack answered. Vector keeps his guard up as he peeks at the body laying on the ground. He quickly notices the robes and steps into the room. Putting his gun up to Zack's head, Vector tells him to back up against the wall and face away. He still hadn't noticed Rio standing below him. Waddling to the backside of Vector He activates his domination. The ability activates with no problems as the pink aura appears around Vector's feet. After Zack faces the wall, Vector approaches the body of the dead man and takes a look at his boots. Holding an image up to the boots sole, he compares the two before bringing his hand up to his ear.

As the sun begins to set, Rio notices Vector is becoming more and more tired. Rio attempts to order him to stay awake but he is unaffected. "I guess even my servants need to tend to their needs as well." Vector begins to fall asleep in the driver's seat as the SUV veers off of the dirt path. Rio panics and quickly summons Zack to take the wheel. Zack takes over for Vector as he is placed into the void. The SUV manages to get back onto the road but not without problem. Zack slams his foot down onto the gas pedal causing the car to speed through the narrow path. Rio's face is in shock, forgetting to tell Zack to stop as the car begins to approach a sharp turn. "Slow down you fool!" Rio curses in his mind at Zack's lack of driving skills. Hearing the command, Zack takes his foot off of the gas and begins to look disturbed. "I said to slow down!" "Zack continues to fumble around before turning to Rio with tears in his eyes." "Oh my god. We're going to crash. If I don't do an

Entering through a large set of arched doors the thin creature carries Rio into a large room. "Let me go!" Rio shouts in his mind activating his influence. The creature releases his grasp to Rio's satisfaction. That feeling doesn't last long as another creature picks him up and continues the journey through the castle. "Aw come on!" Rio attempts one more time to use his influence but as soon as he does, the previous creature snaps out of the trance and resumes the cycle. He eventually decides that it would be better for him to just summon one of his servants. He attempts to pull one of them into his reserves when an unfortunate message appears in his mind. "Reserve failed. Servant is outside of your range" "..." "you have got to be joking. Why would you give me a limit? Aren't I supposed to be the strongest!" "Don't take that tone with me. You should be grateful. There are not many entities as great as I that can grant you a new life. You got yourself in this mess. Don't tr

Watching the door close behind them, Rio activates his influence and sends a suggestion to the remaining chalk creature. "You don't need to report on the happenings of this room. just ignore everything and take a break." Upon receiving the suggestion, the creature sits down and flattens itself onto the ground. "Good, now I just need to get us out of here." Activating his reserves, Rio pulls everyone into the void and re-summons them outside of their cells. Before Rio can even think, Zack scoops him up and hugs him with thankful eyes. Rio is surprised for a moment at the sudden gratitude. He had always assumed that his servants would simply lack all emotion. Looking towards the other two, he notices Jeremy pouting by himself while Vector stares at the two of them while shaking his head. "Well, that's a bit interesting. Deciding to test his new discovery later Rio puts his mind to more important matters. He begins thinking of a way to handle all of the creatures inside the ca
Cutest Pet System Big Ideas
Rio stops pacing and turns towards Vector. He looks towards his side holster, noticing the handgun. He knew that the gun was ineffective on the creatures and even if it was, It would be far too difficult to land a shot on their thin outlines. Rio was instead interested in another property of the gun. If he could tamper with the weapon a bit he knew he could force the gun to explode. It wouldn't be big but it should suffice against the creature in front of them. Rio has Vector take the gun out of the holster and draw the hammer back. He then places the barrel on the ground and begins slamming it repeatedly against the ground. The creature is still battling Zack and has stopped paying attention to anyone else, ignoring the sounds coming from its rear. In the span of a few seconds, the barrel is completely bent and shattered. Rio pulls it from the ground and begins inspecting it. "This is perfect. Now we just need to add a bit more oomph, don't you think?" Rio asked, looking to
Cutest Pet System A New Home
It's been a number of days since Rio had been taken into the van. He wast sure exactly how long it had been as the only time he could see outside was the few times that he was provided food. During this time he became more accustomed to his new ability. Whenever he had the energy, he would practise resonating with Vector and Zack. Resonating with Vector gave him more knowledge on guns than he ever wished to know. It was almost as if Vector was some kind of gun nut. Although it also proved useful as his mind was also full of combat strategy and tips. Resonating with Zack was even more interesting as his benefits were less instructive. He didn't have the knowledge that Vector had but he more than made up for this in his physiology. Resonating with Zack allowed Rio to manipulate his body similar to Zack. he could liquefy portions of his body at will along with being able to manipulate his now liquefied body. Rio was going to try resonating with Jeremy but quickly decided against

Disapointment
Hiro focuses his mana and summons a barrier around himself while Rio rains down fire on the crowd of Larissa clones. Rio's orbs tear through the clones like paper. Each one falling to the ground after receiving a direct hit from Rio's barrage. The sound of impact echoes across the area as dozens more clones fall to the ground dead or dying. Seeing the destruction that the wolf was able to cause in such a small amount of time, Larissa gasps in amazement. "This is what it means to have real power. I'll definitely make you mine." Larissa whispers softly. Her eyes glow brightly with excitement as she approaches Rio. "Come on now, come to mama." She charges forward at him, avoiding the fire coming from above Rio. As she gets closer, He readies himself. Stabbing her dagger towards RIo, Hiro swiftly moves in to block the strike with his sword and slashes downward towards her. Larissa dodges the slash effortlessly but her eyes widen in shock when Hiro grabs her arm with his free hand.
First Bout
Turning her attention back to Hiro, Larissa places a finger to her chin thoughtfully. "I think I'll take my sweet time getting rid of you first. Then I can take my time with your companion," With that Larissa teleports behind Hiro and wraps her arms around his neck. Hiro struggles against her grasp but finds it difficult as he can feel his power fading as she takes hold on him. Hiro continues to struggle against her, until Fye sends Larissa crashing to the floor. Hiro quickly distances himself from Larissa to catch his breath and as he does so Larissa steps out from the crater left from her landing. "I'm going to ask that you don't interrupt me when I'm working, young lady. I will get to you when it is your turn. In the meantime, How about you play with these guys." Larissa snaps her fingers causing the ground to shake. From within the earth rise several zombies which crawl out from the soil. Each zombie stands tall and menacing with rotting flesh covering their bodies. "Now t

6 months fly by as Hiro continues his training under Gaius. With every passing day, Hiro becomes more comfortable with using his magic. Rio was worried when their training had begun taking longer than he had hoped but, his worries faded when he looked at how much time he had left. Despite being in the trial for 6 months It seemed to have only been around 6 days outside. And with all this time Rio was able to reap the benefits of Gaius's training as Hiro was becoming more and more powerful. Hiro was now at a state where even Gaius was beginning to have trouble handling him, and Gaius knew that Zack would be ready to head out into the world. Gaining permission from the king, Gaius gave Hiro a set of armor and weapons. Hiro wore the outfit proudly as he headed out to the castle's entrance. There he met Zack who was waiting for him. Once they arrived, Hiro was given a map with a destination marked on it. Zack told him that this was a place known as the city of the dead. According to
Power
Gaius walks out into the field and tosses his spear at Hiro. He fumbles with the weapon for a bit until it finally slips from his grasp and bangs against the ground. "Don't break it now. I only have one of those" Gaius chuckles as he watches Hiro pick the spear up from the ground. As soon as Hiro picks up the spear, Gaius plants his feet and stares down the boy. "Come on now, don't make me wait too long. Just come and give me your best shot. Hiro swallows nervously and clenches his fists tightly as he stares at Gaius. He had spent the previous night practicing how to use his power defensively but had failed to learn how to use it offensively. Knowing that his best choice would be to just try his best, Hiro runs at him with the spear in hand. He wields the weapon clumsily as he rushes at Gaius. Before he can make contact, however, Gaius blocks Hiro's path by raising his arms to block the attack. Gaius grips him by the neck and throws his body back to where he started. "I know y
Defender
The next morning, Rio and Hiro hurry to the training grounds as per Zack's request. Hiro's eyes were red and swollen from lack of sleep. His hair looked messy as if he hadn't washed it recently either. Despite these signs, his face remained full of determination as he faced off against his mentor. Gaius was already waiting for them when they arrived. He stood tall and proud with his spear held by his side. "By the look of you, I'm guessing that you didn't get much sleep." Gaius states bluntly as he looks over Hiro. Hiro shakes his head in response. "I might not have gotten much sleep, But you will see the impact of all of my efforts soon." Hiro explains confidently. Gaius narrows his eyes slightly before responding. "Cockiness is not an attractive trait, But I will allow you a bit of pride if what you say is true. Now then, How about you prove to me how strong you are today?" Gaius says as he steps forward with his spear raised high above his head. Without hesitation, Hiro readi
Tantrum
"Again!...Again!...AGAIN!!!" Gaius shouts as he continuously slams his spear and fist into Hiro. Hiro groans as he pushes himself up to his feet yet again. Not giving up, Hiro takes the beating while attempting to draw on the power from before. But no matter how many times he tries it, Hiro remains unable to protect himself. Gaius smacks Hiro upside the head with his free hand, sending him flying through the air and crashing into a training dummy. Hiro hits the wooden structure with such force that it cracks beneath his weight before collapsing entirely. "Damnit!" Gaius curses as he runs over to Hiro and picks him up off the floor. "Maybe we should take a quick break. If we continue at this pace, you won't live long enough to even see real combat." Gaius sighs while dusting Hiro off. "We'll come back tomorrow when your wounds have healed. Until then, I want you to keep practicing on manifesting your power." Hiro nods in agreement with his exhausted body. As Gaius walks away from

Jack then gestures towards a nearby man wielding a spear."This will be your instructor, Gaius. He is one of our kingdoms greatest warriors." Jack explains as he leads Hiro over to him. "Gaius, this is the Hero that we mentioned before. He will be joining us in the near future. And we have much work ahead of us before then."Gaius bows his head respectfully and nods his head in greeting. He then turns his attention back to Hiro as he extends his hand.

Tour Guide
The rest of the day passes by smoothly with Rio and Fye focusing on their given tasks while Hiro rests in the bed. Then next morning, Rio is awakened to the sound of a knock coming from outside the room. It takes a moment for his eyes to adjust to the light as he sits up in his bed and orders Hiro to open the door. As soon as Hiro opens the door, Rio spots a man dressed in a black robe and holding a book in his hand. He seems familiar to Rio as he stands there in front of the door. "He must have been one of the men accompanying the king earlier." Rio figured as he stretched out his body. "Good morning hero." The man says to Hiro while giving a slight bow. "I hope that your night was well." The robed man adds after seeing Fye sitting in the corner of the room. "Yeah it was pretty good. I was able to get some sleep. Hiro tells the man in response as he invites him inside. "Rio had given Hiro the ability to answer independently for the time being. Although he wanted full control o
Choir
The two of them are led to a bedroom with large windows that overlook the city. The city is bustling and filled with people and traffic. As Rio and the young boy enter the room and close the door, the young boy begins to take a seat upon the bed. As Rio and the boy sit on the edge of the bed and face each other, the king begins to speak. "This will be where you will be staying during your time with us in the grand kingdom of Chania. I will allow you some time to rest for the day as you will be busy tomorrow as we help you gain control of your new powers. Have a good night, Hero." The king leaves the room and closes the door, leaving Rio and the young boy alone to take in their surroundings. As soon as they are alone, Rio activates his domination to gain control over the boy. With full control of his powers returned to him, Rio figures that it's in his best interest to take the reins personally in this trial. Especially if the boy's powers turn out to be of use to him. He was sti
