Cosmic Ruler

Chapter 52 Boney

As Jake mumbled, another screen suddenly popped up.

"Name the Little Skeleton," it read.

Jake glanced at the screen and then at the little skeleton before him. "Boney McFace," he declared with a smile. "That will be your name."

The little chibi skeleton tilted his head cutely in response.

With Boney McFace's name settled, Jake proceeded with the last summoning opportunity, eager to see what the daily summons would bring him.

Glimmergeist: A spectral fairy with glowing wings, Glimmergeist floated gracefully into the room, emanating an eerie aura of ethereal magic.

Thornshade: A revenant warrior wielding a jagged sword wreathed in thorns. Thornshade's menacing presence hinted at his mastery of combat and his connection to nature's darker aspects.

Spectral Hound: A ghostly canine companion with glowing eyes and translucent fur. The Spectral Hound exuded an otherworldly presence, ready to assist Jake with its spectral abilities.

Stormshroud: A mage draped in robes crackling with dark energy. Stormshroud's command over shadowy magic promised devastating power on the battlefield.

Silvershadow: A shadowy rogue cloaked in darkness, Silvershadow moved with silent grace, his dagger poised for a lethal strike against any foe lurking in the shadows.

Frostwraith: An icy specter clad in frozen armor, Frostwraith emanated a bone-chilling cold that froze the air around him. His mastery over ice magic would surely prove invaluable in battles to come.

Blazewraith: A fiery wraith with flames engulfing its form, Blazewraith soared into the room with a fierce determination. Its flames symbolized relentless destruction, promising to incinerate any obstacles in Jake's path.

Whirlwind: A cyclone of ghostly winds swirling with spectral energy, Whirlwind brought with it the strength of the tempest. Its ability to manipulate the ethereal currents would provide strategic advantages in combat.

Stoneshade: A dwarven spirit wielding a hammer infused with dark earth magic. Stoneshade's expertise in shaping stone and manipulating earth elements would bolster Jake's defenses with eerie fortifications.

Lunarshade: A ghostly priestess cloaked in lunar radiance, Lunarshade emanated a serene yet haunting aura. Her connection to the spectral moon granted her mystical abilities that could sway the balance of battle in Jake's favor.

Jake's lips twitched as he observed the grandiose names assigned to his new villagers, knowing well that their ranks did not match their titles. Despite those names, all of them looked ragged and more like beggars.

Nevertheless, he had plans for them, starting with the task of safeguarding the village.

"Take care of this village," Jake ordered them, assigning the two legendary heroes as guards while Boney was sent to train under the Archlich.

Despite Boney's current rank, Jake recognized the potential indicated by his skills. While his direction of development was clear, Jake had other plans in mind, ones that required Boney to level up significantly.

Although it was only an island, it was filled with dungeons to aid in his village's growth, and each dungeon had a seal. Currently, the lowest E- dungeon seal was released, causing hordes of slime to scatter around on his island.

Jake then proceeded to eliminate all the slimes, with each slime providing him with some energy to level up his core and some drops, which mostly consisted of bronze coins and slime suits.

After eradicating the nearby slimes, he ordered his new heroes to kill any hostile creatures and logged out.

With his arrangements in place, Jake turned his attention to his own training and preparations for the upcoming duel with Iris, knowing that every advantage would be crucial in the battle ahead.

Jake wasn't going to take any chances. He may be strong, but Iris hailed from a rich Duke house. Knowing her, she would definitely bring her most expensive and powerful artifacts, especially since there were no restrictions.

"Problem can occur if my weapon breaks," Jake thought, remembering the weapon reward of special admissions.

"Luna, how much time would it take to make a customized weapon?" Jake asked, coming out of his room.

"It depends on the weapon and material requirements," Luna replied.

Jake nodded and then showed her his chained dagger. "I want a weapon like this. The chain might seem small, but it can extend. How much time will it take to craft this weapon?" Jake asked.

"I don't know, but usually Legendary grade weapons require 24 hours," Luna replied.

"Hmm, I can withdraw my weapon from World's End, right?" Jake then remembered about the game weapons and asked.

"Yes, you just have to go to their branch or head office, and they will do it," Luna nodded.

Jake smiled and went back to the game, started checking out the loot of Undead Monarch.

"Yes, there is a compatible weapon," Jake exclaimed happily, getting a weapon compatible with his core.

Jake then transferred the sword to his Dusk account and logged out.

"Guide me to World's End office," Jake said to Luna.

Luna nodded and then started leading Jake to the World's End office.

"It's inside the Academy?" Jake asked, as they were going deeper inside the academy.

"Yes, there are a lot of Academy students who have successfully made a base in World's End. So, the Academy requested World's End to open a branch here in the academy too," Luna nodded and explained.

"What do you mean by successfully making a base?" Jake asked.

"After making a Village, it will be constantly attacked by hordes of monsters, and one has to defend it a few times, depending on their Village Building order rank," Luna replied.

"Wait!! Does that mean my village is getting attacked now?" Jake asked, stopping Luna.

"No, villages are attacked only when its lord is present," Luna shook her head and said.

Jake sighed in relief and then soon they reached the World's End office.

Entering inside, Jake saw many counters, and among them was the item withdrawal counter. However, it was empty, while all other counters were brimming with people.

"Getting a good item in World's End is rare. Even if one has no use for that item, they will store it to pass it to their subjects," Luna explained.

Jake nodded and then went to the item counter.

"Would you like to transfer any item to World's End?" The counter girl asked with a smile.

"No, reverse actually," Jake shook his head and said.

The counter girl's eyes slightly widened, but then returned to normal. "Very well, can you show me the proof?" Jake nodded and showed his account inventory.

"A Unique weapon!! Are you sure you want to withdraw it?" She exclaimed, causing others to also look at Jake.

"Is he a fool?"

"Who gives up on a Unique Weapon?"

"Maybe he's a poor guy?"

"Yes, that must be?"

"Sorry," the counter girl bowed and apologized. "It's okay," Jake smiled and let it go.

'I didn't think it would be that much of a big deal,' Jake thought. Another reason people looked down on him was because he was not wearing his Academy uniform.

"Please wait, I will start the item retrieval," the counter girl remarked as she left.

"How does it work anyway?" Jake asked.

"They have the weapons with them stored. Every time one wants to acquire, they just transfer it through their teleportation devices. If they don't have it, they will commission their blacksmiths to make it," Luna explained.

Jake nodded and waited. In just 5 minutes, the counter girl returned with a case. "Sir, here is your weapon, and also its copy from World's End is deleted," she said. Jake signed the papers and took the weapon with him.

Returning to his mansion, he inspected it

As Jake mumbled, seeing the sword, he couldn't help but feel a surge of readiness.

"Now, the last thing to do is a little practice before the main event," Jake said, asking Luna to help him.

Heading to the training room, Jake clashed against Luna in pure swordsmanship, without any mana or other energy. He also asked Luna to use her whip, and she wielded it with great proficiency, having just downloaded the Whip Mastery.

While Jake was training diligently, Iris, on her side, was also practicing with her whip. However, her method couldn't be called training.

"I'll whip him here," she muttered, striking an imaginary opponent. "And there," she continued, delivering another imagined blow.

Her so-called training consisted of mercilessly beating a poor guy with her whip while imagining Jake as her target.
