The Draconics

 The lead boy who presumably killed the beast finally looked around and saw the duo. "We didn't catch your kill did we, though it looked like you were hesitant to kill the Elehorse. Oh by the way my name is Natael, head of the Draconics, we are adventurers. I will tell you about the others later but for now we have to get out of here before more of them come. Sasha, care to help with the beast." He said to a red haired girl who looked like she hated what she was doing." "Aye, what a bother." She walked to the beast and touched it, a blue magic circle appeared over the beast and sucked it inside. "Now let's get out of here." The seven of them ran up to a cliff and hid behind it as they heard groaning sounds. Another member of the party conjured a tent to block the sun. "We can stay here for a while until the Elehorses finish their parade. It would be a terror if we are ambushed by them. But before that I would like us to introduce ourselves. As you know already, my name is Natael Feirysky. I possess two magical attributes, fire and light. Also I am the leader of this party. She is the only female of our team, her name is Sasha Grey, she is a very important factor to our party. Her power might not be as powerful for attack but it's great, she uses Storage magic." 

Sasha winked at Tsuoma coyly and he hastily looked away, his cheek reddening. "That's Zoro Stref." He said pointing to a yellow haired boy who was slurping something from a cup. "He uses summoning magic, he can summon animals, spirits and weapons." Zoro grinned. "He is a weapon mage, he has proficiency in using any weapon especially the sword, his nickname is The Sword Mage." He said pointing to another boy who was holding a sword masterfully and at alert. The boy looked at Tsuoma's sword and chuckled. "And last of all is our trump card. Miles Sora. He uses two kinds of magic. Spatial and Gravity magic."

Tsuoma and Teruki looked among themselves wondering what they should say. Teruki stared hard at Tsuoma and he groaned. "We are Tsuoma and Teruki, don't worry about our family names, anyway we are from Bultock." Teruki looked like she wanted to puke but held it in. "That's a city not under the Empress yet, though it's a bit far from where we come from, our city Luby has been taken over by the evil empress, Lizabetha." Tsuoma sighed. The name of the city only just appeared in his head. "Your people must be well off, you know being under the protection of the summoning princess."

Tsuoma chuckled nervously. Suddenly a blue light began flashing intermittently in his eyes as he saw many of the beasts assembling towards them. "Damn it they have sensed us, I should have sensed them earlier."

Natael said as Sasha hastily stored everything. Natael was surprised. "It's an ocular ability of mine. I can see things from far before they appear as long as they don't cloak themselves or are within 360 degree radius." "That is why you didn't see us, we were hiding using spatial magic to distort our presence." "Oh great!" Tsuoma muttered.

An Elehorse used it's trunk to destroy the hiding spot and they all jumped away hastily. They all drew their weapons. Sasha with two daggers which looked new. Natael brought out a pure white sword pulsating with energy. Zoro held a long sword, Miles stood there without a weapon while Tsuoma and Teruki brought out their swords. An Elehorse dashes to Tsuoma who sped so fast raising dust in his wake and the next thing they all saw three of the Elehorses down.

"Wow, that was fast." Sasha said surprised and in an admiringly manner. The rest of the team were able to defeat the Elehorses without much trouble. None of them, the Elehorses could come near Miles. They were down pressed with a heavy gravitational pressure. They were squealing in pain as the gravitational force holding them down was too strong. Suddenly a roar sounded and they all had to cover their ears. Tsuoma saw the same light and saw a giant of the Elehorses. 

Standing at twenty feet, the Elehorse crushed the ground underneath it revealing craters as it walked.

Sasha whistled. "Now that will cost us a lot of money in the guild market, once we get it's large tusks. Guess one thousand dalfs should help our poverty life." Tsuoma looked at her in horror. "You are not seriously going to attack that beast, right uh, Sasha." "Of course, I will do it, for the money you know."

 Natael patted Tsuoma's shoulder. "Don't worry, she can handle it, just watch, she is feared as the money goddess, meaning she can do anything for money. No one, not even an experienced thief can steal from her. Once money is involved, she becomes a fierce jaguar. If anything goes wrong we save her. So first we let her have all the fun. Sasha grinned and made a magic circle and from it a rope with a spike attached to it appeared. She ran to the beast and struck underneath it. The screaming was too much for Teruki to bear as she fell down holding her head. "I feel it's pain and agony, I don't know how I can. But the pain is unbearable. Please put it out of its misery immediately." 

Tsuoma was shocked. Were her powers already manifesting?

Sasha was also surprised and she nodded. "With pleasure." She said and conjured a spiked net which went through the Elehorse keeping it down, it began to dry up. "Wait, what's the net doing?" Tsuoma asked.

"It's slowly draining it's life force and without pain, anyway we need the tusks." She walked over to the Elehorse and conjured a sword which she used to cut off the tusks. "Now we will gain a lot and get recognised." Tsuoma sighed and looked at Teruki. "Did she just use empathy?" He asked in his mind. He got replied in his mind.

 [ Just like your geographical eyes, she also gained a unique ability and you also have another ability. The eye of truth, it allows you see everything about others including their underwear. ]

 Tsuoma jerked looking around. Who was the speaker? 

 [ I am your system. The goddess put me in you so you will be able to keep track of your abilities and also have the ability to cultivate. Meaning the more powerful enemies you defeat, you will upgrade ]

Tsuoma smiled within. He had heard of systems in novels from his friends and now he posessed one.

He found himself in a white plane. The goddess appeared to him.

"I will continue to watch over you Tsuoma. You won't regret your second life and if possible no friend you make here on out will betray you." "Whatever, goddess, by the way what can I call you, I can't keep saying goddess you know." "Why don't you give me a name, Tsuoma, besides once you name me you claim me." He facepalmed himself and groaned. "Are you ok man?" Natael asked in concern. "Yes sure, let's go on." The goddess laughed in Tsuoma's mind. "That shocked you uh, come on, it's good having a goddess at your beck and call you know and besides I'm sure the Demon Lord is possessing someone, we and the demons have been at war for many centuries and we especially I the summoning goddess have been summoning heroes to help us. It wasn't easy to get your soul because I feared you would be filled with rage after your best friend killed you and your soul will return as a vengeful spirit, instead your soul was calm and even wishing for your friend not to blame himself. Your soul was too pure I had to take it before it got corrupted. And since your soul was interwoven with that of Teruki, she had to come with you, now the both of you have gained powers than most people in this world you have to develop your powers and abilities through the system I have granted you. So any questions?" "That's amazing, okay i will call you Sigrid." "Nice, a Viking name uh. That's thoughtful but i am not a Viking goddess but it's okay by me, my name is Sigrid, pleasure to serve you master." Tsuoma chuckled nervously and ruffled his curly hair. His new life had just begun and he had also made new friends.
