Ch 10 - The Comments

A suave, gentlemanly, young man, complete with 3 piece suit and U-contact monocle. U contact devices are the evolution of mobile devices. To have such a nice customized pair shows the wearers wealth indeed.

"Hi, my name is Campbell Gamble, of the famous Gambling Campbell. Truly a pleasure." With a slight bow and a tip of the hat he introduced himself to his opponent. "Would you like to play a game?"

"Yes." The shieldbearer began to walk across the stage seemingly in a trance.

[Dungeon Master] Skill Shard collected...5/5

Soon after the shield bearer fell to his knees before he could reach his opponent. The match was already over.

"Woah, so strong!?!"

"Indeed."

"I heard he is the third son of the Campbells main family."

"I wonder how effective his powers are on the battlefield."

"Either way, that's an impressive win. This will be an impressive tourney."

After the final match, Donny went home to go over his earnings. Taylor was the only occupant still awake as she was getting everything ready with adding the potion to the stores inventory and promotion.

"Tay, here."

"What's this?"

"The video of Peter's development and his fight in the arena."

"You are fighting in an arena?" She couldn't help but become confused, because although Peter is strong, it is difficult to imagine Adonis surviving.

"Yes, the Z-space one so the likelihood of death is low. Don't worry. If you can get your friend David to edit this right, we should be able to run a decent commercial." With the clips he has gathered and his lab records of Peter and the Malicious Kong, his confidence continued to soar.

"You want me to contact David?" A visible grimace drew across her worried visage. "Fine, but you must talk to Luna for me." The grimace quickly fell into her signature evil grin.

"Why can't you talk to her as well."

"I wouldn't be able to convince her like you would." Her eyebrow movements seemed to suggest a hidden meaning.

"You're evil."

"Yes, but you love me."

"Fine."

"Thanks."

The halls of the house remained clean no matter the destruction Elizabeth caused throughout the day. The butlers truly have it hard.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Luna. How are you?"

"You are calling me? You must want something. Hmm, you only ever call me when you want something. Do you not like me?" I knew this was going to happen. Luna has had a crush on me since primary school, but it wasn't a good fit.

"Of course, I like you, or we wouldn't be friends. I do need a favor though. Is there a way I can get a commercial slot. Taylor and I have around 30k we have saved up. May we get a slot?"

"Taylor has finished her research?"

"No, but we have discovered a very interesting product." Donny still could never get over her cold tone. No matter the situation or topic her words remained monotonous and distant.

"Hmm, Taylor knows my brother would do anything for her, why didn't she call?"

"She has been busy trying to get everything together and get stuff on shelves. The whole nine yards."

"I'll call her myself, bye."

[Call has disconnected. Call Back?]

My point exactly. Well I guess I was the one asking, but it is still uncomfortable to constantly be around.

Peter [Gold Knight Scorpion] 9? 3/6/10

[Gold Knight Armour] 0.1.2

[Black Magic Stinger] 0.0.0.3

He's so close to evolution. I might as well use the UP now to see what will come of it's evolution.

Would you like to buy 1 level for [3 UP]?...

[Yes]

Please choose Evolutionary route.

[Dream Knight]

[Devil Grin]

[Seven's Beast]

[Knight Horror]

[Dark Scorpion]

It seems the possible options have changed.

I prefer direct contact when fighting so it would make sense to have Peter become a Tanky mount or a Long Range DPS.

I can eliminate [Knight Horror], [Seven's Beast], and [Devil's Grin] as they are all fit for close range high damage. I still need versatility if I am to compete.

[Dark Scorpion]

Black Magic evolves to Dark energy

Status buff at night or in the Dark.

[Dream Knight]

Beast Dream world

Summon Dream Beast

Ugh, this is still such a hard choice.

…..

R and R martial arena…

In a secluded room deep in the bowels of the compound a group of adults sat up in the wee hours of the night to discuss their observations.

"It looks like Marx is making a comeback, Boss." Danny is a well-built male with pearl like skin.

"Indeed this is an interesting development. In the end we are simply looking for talent so we must pay attention to the others since he is pretty much a lock." Said the elderly man overlooking the room from the head seat.

"Yes, I think Lady Snake would make a great addition as well."

"Yes she would, but I would like to hear of the beast tamer."

"Sir, we still do not know much about him, but apparently he is selling a line of medicine that can benefit beastial development. The video of their opening commercial has already attracted 800,000 views in the last hour."

"That successful? Let me see." The secretary then handed the boss the tablet for him to view the video.

There he saw a group of scorpions.

The initial battle between Donny and the group of scorpions.

The video followed that battle to the battle against the spider nest. Then it showed it's intake of the potion and battle output. They even made sure to include some of the unrestricted film of the Kong's trial.

Still the highlight of the video was the one move takedown of Lady Snake. Lady Snake was already a well known local celebrity. So for some, seeing her defeat so effortlessly by this strange beast master drew much curiosity. Driving the comment section wild.

"Who's that kid?"

"Forget the kid, look at that scorpion, it looks so strong."

"That's a high level base form [Gold Scorpion]. No way it can move so swiftly."

"It says that it's increase in power is due to this product."

"No way. How can a kid come up with such a thing?"

"It makes sense though if his beast let him know."

"Who wants to start a wager on how long it takes the government to kidnap him."

"Already on it. Here's the link: https://www.oddsshark.com/sportsbook-review"

"Oooo, hopefully swat will use body cams again."

"Yeah, like they did that guy in Philly."

"If he joins Z-Space he might be fine though."

"Yeh, somebody get this man some milk."

"What's his name though?"

"It says Adonis."

…..

"Acchoo" I must have caught a cold. Wait, geno-warriors can't get colds. Someone must be talking about me behind my back.

'It wasn't me, master'

'I know Peter, but if you love master you will take me in to the [Dream Realm]'

'But master I am scared.'

'Scared? What are you afraid of?'

'The Dark.'
