nGeth watched as the Formations in his mental sphere stopped warping. He spun around and looked out across the dome.

nAt the moment, he and Albus were standing atop the ocean of liquid Mana contained in the sphere. Geth was amazed at the amount of space in the dome after it expanded.

n

"Yes, you have a lot of growing left to do,

" Albus stated while smiling at him.

n

"For now, you should focus on your Skeletons' growth. Once they have their first Class, you can leave the upgrades to them if you wish.

"

nGeth gave Albus a thumbs up. The older man snapped his fingers and the two were suddenly on the outer edge of the dome.

nGeth blinked rapidly at the sudden transition. One of his nearby selves looked slightly startled at the sudden appearance of the two.

nLooking at his surroundings, Geth found that four small hallways were leading out of the inner dome. He glanced out and saw four smaller mental spheres between the inner and outer walls of his own.

nOne of the spheres was quite a bit larger than the other three. Geth glanced over at Albus.

n

"Are these what I think they are?

"

nAlbus grinned,

"Yes, these are the mental spheres of your Tames. Once they gain enough sentience, you can communicate with them.

nIt's even possible for them to access your Mana pool. Of course, that is after you learn the proper Taming Skills.

"

nAlbus walked over to the entryway on the far right. He touched the wall beside it and then beckoned Geth over.

n

"This is similar to the control panel of the Grimoire. You can access all of your Tames' information from beside each of their spheres.

"

nAlbus nodded for him to give it a try before he walked away. Geth stepped up to the panel and looked through the information.

n***

nMaster's presence detected. Would you like to open Grimoire for Skeleton?

nYes

/No

n***

nGeth touched the 'yes' option on the holographic pad.

n***

nSkeleton has multiple Levels available. Skeleton Level to low to self-improve. Would Master like to Level Skeleton?

nYes

/No

n***

n'Yes.' Geth touched the screen again.

n***

nTame, Skeleton has entered its fourth Major Level.

nPlease choose a Skill suitable for your Tame.

nOption 1: Precision

nOption 2: Subtlety

n***

nGeth glanced through the other information and found that this was the would-be Assassin. 'Subtlety.'

n***

n***

nTame Skeleton has entered its fifth Major Level.

nPlease choose a Class suitable for your Tame.

nOption 1: Rogue

nThe Rogue focuses primarily on Skills that allow them to get up close while remaining undetected. Usual weapons are daggers or small blades.

n 15 Strength 10 Agility

nOption 2: Hunter

nThe Hunter can use bows or daggers to get the job done. Focuses on high damage single target attacks. Struggles against multiple enemies.

n 15 Agility 10 Strength

n***

nGeth quickly chose the 'Rogue' Class. Another prompt showed before him.

n***

nSkeleton Rogue now has the competency to make its own choices. Would Master allow Skeleton Rogue to continue on its own during next Summon?

nYes

/No

n***

n'Yes.' Geth was still under the impression that the Tames would be more powerful if they made their own decisions.

n'Albus said I would be able to communicate with them eventually,' Geth thought about this as he moved to the next panel.

nThis was the Archer that he'd given more Intelligence than the others. He decided to go with 'Dark Aura' as its fourth choice.

n***

nTame Skeleton has entered its fifth Major Level.

nPlease choose a Class suitable for your Tame.

nOption 1: Archer

nThe Archer focuses primarily on Skills with the bow and is adept at facing multiple enemies or single targets.

n 15 Agility 10 Intelligence

nOption 2: Mage

nThe Mage focuses primarily on high damage single target and AOE Skills. Adept at facing multiple enemies from mid to long-range.

n 15 Intelligence 10 Wisdom

n***

nGeth hesitated a bit on this one but eventually went with Archer. He moved on to the last of the three Skeletons. For this one, he chose 'Subtlety.'

n***

nTame Skeleton has entered its fifth Major Level.

nPlease choose a Class suitable for your Tame.

nOption 1: Rogue

nThe Rogue focuses primarily on Skills that allow them to get up close while remaining undetected. Usual weapons are daggers or small blades.

n 15 Strength 10 Agility

nOption 2: Hunter

nThe Hunter can use bows or daggers to get the job done. Focuses on high damage single target attacks. Struggles against multiple enemies.

n 15 Agility 10 Strength

n***

nGeth clicked on the 'Hunter' option and moved to the final door. He didn't plan to disrupt the Skeleton Archer's choices, but he still had to grant it permission.

nHe couldn't help but look at the Skeleton Archer's dome out of curiosity. After receiving their Classes, the other three had grown, but they still couldn't match its size.

n'He must have truly benefited from helping fight that World Boss,' Geth thought.

nGeth turned to walk away but was stopped by a sudden broken voice from behind.

n

"Maaasteer... T.. Thaaank yoouu.

"

nThe voice was slow and struggled to make the vowel sounds. It was intensely hoarse as if sand had been poured down someone's throat.

nGeth glanced back at the large dome he'd just turned away from. He wasn't sure if the Tame could see or hear him, but he smiled in that direction anyway.

nAlbus snapped his fingers and took them back to the center of the mental sphere. Beneath the Immersion Formation, a small section of the Mana Pool had turned solid.

n

"Have a seat.

" Albus gestured to the platform as he sat cross-legged on one side. Geth did the same and looked at the man sitting across from him.

nLooking at Albus in this situation made him feel that he was sitting with a monk in some ancient temple. It was as if he were going to learn some incredible secrets of the universe.

n

"Hahaha! Don't give me that much credit, Geth. I'm simply an old man who knows a thing or two.

"

nGeth rolled his eyes. He found it annoying that Albus seemed to know all of his thoughts. Then again, the man was living in his mental sphere.

nAlbus abruptly turned serious,

"But, there are some secrets that will need to stay between us for now.

"
