It didn’t take long before Tyler ran into a group of Eidolons. He politely bowed and was surprised they recognized him. He smiled and shook their hands, giving them praise for their uniqueness. They appreciated his sincerity and according to one of them, he was the talk of the realm lately. The King and Queen made a formal announcement that there was a new summoner who was willing to give his life for his familiars, who he let out freely, so several of them were asking for contracts.
He politely refused and said he couldn’t handle their power to their disappointment. Thankfully, they were understanding as they knew Ritsu, Seraphim and Vivian were with him. If he was a new summoner, that was already a lot to handle so when they found out he had 5, they eased off asking. One of them offered him an overnight stay for free, but Tyler said he had to go see an old friend.
He followed his map and the beasts were easy for him. His magical prowess and strength grew daily and ever since he started dueling, things started to make more sense. He also had Ritsu’s mastery of strategy, which helped him greatly. He was relying less on his system and more on his familiars and himself.
By the time he reached Reza, he smiled.
[You are now level 42. Two stat points are available.]
He walked into Esper’s inn, which was now crowded with people at a new bar area and the lounge room he met Vivian in was full.
"Heya Esper! It’s great to see you, my friend. Thank you so much for taking care of my family members while I was busy." Tyler said excitedly while bowing politely.
"Tyler! Great to see you as well. Glad you could make it. Business has been great since the announcement Bahamut and Asura made and Eidolons found out you stayed here when you visited. Thank you." He said while shaking his hand.
"No problem. Well, what do you need me to do to repay you for feeding everyone?"
"Nothing Tyler! I just wanted to see you and Ash and I discussed a way to get you here without making it a hassle. You generously offered so it gave us a great opportunity."
Tyler smirked.
"You sly devil you." He teased Ash.
His familiars laughed, with the exception of Rex, who was still confused and learning more about the group.
"Don’t hate the player, hate the game sucka!" Ash joked. "I wanted you to see the impact you’ve made on our realm. We also should visit the King and Queen and get a blessing for your wonderful women to come with."
"Yes, I think that would be outstanding. Rex, why don’t you pop out and introduce yourself?"
"Maybe later. I’m still not confident in my human form. I feel so... awkward." He said nervously.
"I don’t like it either so don’t feel bad." Ash reassured him. "I prefer being in my phoenix form almost always. There are very rare occasions I’ll use my human form."
"Glad to know I’m not the only one. The other three make it look so effortless and are quite beautiful."
"Aw, you’re sweet." Shadow said cheerfully.
"Tyler, I’ve packed you a bag so you can go meet with the King and Queen," Esper said while handing over a backpack to Tyler.
"It has 20 food potions, 10 mana and 10 health. That should be enough I hope. Thank you again, business has never been better. We even built that bar!" Esper said cheerfully.
"You’re too kind. Thank you so much!" Tyler said as he drank each of the potions. "They always taste so much better when they’re made here."
"Glad you enjoy them. Safe travels and don’t be a stranger!"
Tyler politely bowed as they made their way to the Castle. It wasn’t a far or difficult journey, but he still had to fight off some higher level beasts. It was good practice for him to link with Shadow and get used to her wolf eyesight. He would also use Ritsu’s on occasion and was curious what he’d look like in Rex’s form but didn’t want to bother him with that yet.
When they made it to the castle, a group of guards welcomed them and opened the doors.
’It’s almost like they’re expecting me... weird.’ Tyler thought while walking in.
He bowed politely to everyone he saw and they smiled and said hello. There were very attractive Eidolons in the castle. Tyler noticed the workers all wore matching uniforms. They were like suits for humans, but Eidolon. The key difference was that Eidolon didn’t fully look human. They had distinct skin, hair and eye characteristics that made them look slightly different. Vivian, Ritsu and Shadow were different and could pass for humans, as could Esper. It was a strange mix, but Tyler was finding it much easier to distinguish between beast and Eidolon.
The castle was gigantic and significantly bigger than his apartment complex. He figured there had to be at least 500 bedrooms in the place amongst other things. He noticed his map had changed from "Land of Summoned Monsters," to "Bahamut’s Palace," and even with their walk from the door to the main chamber, it was still only 2% complete.
"How big is this place?!" He asked curiously.
"Huge. It’s bigger than the city of Reza, not that it is a big city or anything but this place has thousands of workers, all who have rooms in the castle." Vivian said kindly.
"This place is amazing..." Rex admitted. "I’ve been to the realm a few times but only in the wild. I never managed to meet the King or anything."
"You should. You’re legendary after all, only mythological is higher than you."
"I see. I don’t know much about the rankings but I am sad my brothers are gone."
"I’m sorry we killed them like that..." Tyler said empathethically.
"Don’t be. It’s my foolishness and unwillingness to talk to you that caused their deaths. You and your friends were simply defending yourselves."
"Thanks Rex. You’re a good familiar."
The guard leading Tyler to the throne room knocked on the door twice before disappearing quickly. He walked at a very high speed away until Asura opened the door.
"Tyler! We were expecting you, please, come in." She said with her beautiful smile.
’I knew it. This is so weird. How do they always know?’
"He is a god and his wife is a goddess Nostradomus." Ash laughed.
"Oh, right." Tyler chuckled. "He even told me. Just a lot going on lately."
"You mean a lot of sex going on." Vivian said playfully. "My husband appreciated your night with the ladies. I was nice and ready when I got to him."
Tyler burst out in laughter. "Glad I could help!"
He continued following Asura, who he noticed lightly laughing.
"Tyler! It’s great to see you, son. How are you doing? Where are your wives–girlfriends, sorry." Bahamut grinned. He was in his handsome human form and kissed his wife as she returned. She took a seat next to him on a giant throne.
"I was hoping I could receive your blessing to bring them to this realm. I didn’t want to without asking first." Tyler said while bowing.
"Rise Mr. Rask. You are very polite. I think we can do that." Bahamut said.
With a wave of his hand, his three girlfriends were standing in the realm awkwardly looking around, in their pajamas.
"Oh, hello your majesty!" Sophie said while bowing. Amanda and Kass followed.
Bahamut shot a weird spell at the three of them, causing them all to pass out. Tyler dashed over and caught them so they landed gently, not realizing Asura had three beds set right beside them for a safe fall. He set them both gently down and noticed they were sleeping peacefully.
"You really do care that much about them don’t you?" She asked politely.
"With every ounce of my soul."
