Looking over the newly updated status has me greatly overwhelmed. Reading through the subscreens made me relieved though. The only thing that really needs attention is health, mana, attributes, and the tier of skills. Trying to calculate the damage dealt is not very practical as most things have resistances to a large number of things. Immunities basically only exist in racial perks.

It seems that I have become heavily reliant on poison damage so I may have to rely on summons for other forms of damage. Well might as well summon something.... ugghhh.... Do I have to say the skill name or.... Maybe just think it really hard. SUMMON THE BROODMOTHER!.... Nothing....

"Summon the Broodmother" Gin

I end up mumbling the summon and a screen pops up.

*Choose aspect

*Metal

*Crystal

*Poison

Ehhh???? That's all? Usually for most things I get a description for choices but this.... Well, lets go with metal? I have no idea what a crystal spider would be like.... Poisons out as other creatures may have poison resistance or immunity so I can't stack that.

Metal it is.

*Ding

As I hear the system notification, a grey portal of about 2 meters of height appears in front of me. A grey spider that's about 1 meter high drags itself out..... This guy.... WHY ARE YOU SO FAT!!! This guy has jowls that droop down and its short but meaty legs are as thick as my torso. Its abdomen is way bigger than its front section. If it could stand, it would probably be as tall as that portal, but it just drags itself with its front legs....

As I stare at it, it stares back with its creepy blue human eyes..... WHY DO YOU HAVE HUMAN EYES!!!

*Ding

Another notification???? Hmmmm..... A name..... I guess it is female?Right? Can't name it fatty then.... Juicy?.... No.

Names don't really need meaning so lets go with.... Kess. As soon as I decide on a name a new set of screens and subscreens pop up.

Subordinate

Name:Kess

Race: Grey Iron Arachneven(rare)

(Evolution Possible at level 5)

level: 1

Required exp: 300

Health (300/300)

Resource-Iron essence(120/120)

Shared perk- Closed System(defaultly

selected)

Loyalty: Max

Condition:none

Even though she is subordinated to me, I cant see most of her screens and I think some of her general screen is missing....I'll have to ask her to show her skills later....It seems that creatures that evolve need more experience to level, but in exchange they can rank up much easier than those who have classes....

Ohhh, with new evolutions they can inherit weaknesses and can rarely lose attributes.... But, they can also lose old weaknesses and gain attributes. They will however keep perks and skills from previous evolutions. Evolution is kinda unstable. I wond-

"HEY, where do you think you're going?!?!"

Kess was dragging her way towards the Arachne Queen with saliva drooling from her mouth. I can venture a guess as to why. She looks at me and her eyes start tearing up. I won't pity you. Even with human eyes that wont work. You don't even need food anymore thanks to closed system.

"Do I really want to summon more?"Gin

"Schhhrree."Kess

That took forever. I plan to use numbers kind of sparsely from now on. Writing the beginning of this gave me a headache between checking back on old chapters and writing new stuff in while trying to keep balance. I always loved reading stories with a lot of these elements in them, but writing them is painful. I did enjoy writing Kess in though. Also, it may seem like his attacks deal a lot of damage but that is without damage resistance being taken into account.
