The Tale Of A Golem Master

[Crimson the mighty rabbit's POV]

Ever since the day that I have been created by my Master, I have been guarding Lady Torva and watching over everything she does. The best thing about this position is that she pets me four times a day, and often uses me as a mount whenever she goes out to hunt. Also whenever Master pets my mane it feels amazing. His head pats feel like a massage from the gods. At one point I felt like I couldn't identify what my own gender was. If I were to choose though, it would probably be male, since I want to be with Torva for the rest of my endless life.

Today, Torva decided that she wanted to spar with Fenrir, I followed behind her and nodded to him. Fenrir is the only one that knows of my love for Torva. I am also the only one who knows of his love for one of the female swordsman golems that received a name from Master recently for her accomplishments in sword mastery and managing to rank up to unique class before any of the others. I thought that it would have been impossible for her since she started at a normal class, just like the rest of the swordsman golems. The only difference was the fact that she asked for training from Fenrir the most and observed Piaro just as much as he did. Her name was Jarn. From what I can tell, Master named her that on purpose, since the two of them seemed very infatuated with each other, but struggled to voice their feelings for each other. Even though Fenrir is like this, he still doesn't care for how people see him. He still regularly takes naps on Master's head. Not that I blame him for it though. It is very relaxing to sleep beside Torva.

Torva also realizes my feelings for her, but she currently has very strong feelings for Master. It isn't necessarily love for him, but more so revering him as our king and showing her loyalty to our creator. She stated that she wanted to at least wait until I evolve to have a human form, since according to Master, while he won't care, others outside of the golem community would judge her for loving all kinds of beast. That thought in itself somewhat angered me and only made me want to reach a unique rating that much more. It did surprise me that she didn't love Master in that way though, until she told me why. From what she and a few other golems could tell, since Master has children, he had to have a wife at some point, and plans on recreating her at some point, just like he did with his son and daughter. It did throw me off at first when I discovered that Fenrir was Master's son, but considering his power I should have known from the beginning.

Today, Master gathered the golems together and announced that he wanted to do a mass expansion of our city to prepare for incoming visitors. It made sense because the amount of natural occurring golems in this forest started to increase. If any competent being put two and two together, they would discover our home. Due to this, Torva would be in the city helping master direct the construction plans. Master temporarily relieved me of my guard position until the construction was complete. Based on our current golem population of around 260 golems, and the amount of expansion Master wanted to do. It would take a few weeks. This is mostly due to the fact that the majority of us are more focused on combat, rather than construction or crafting of any kind. I saw this as a chance though, during this time I would be able to hunt and increase my level. I also wanted to start using a mixture of magic and a weapon. I didn't want to take up the sword since there were plenty of swordsmen and it was Torva and Fenrir's specialty. I guess I'll have to figure it out once I get used to my human form.

I had a priest, assassin,and guardian knight follow me in the raid of one of the newer dungeons that opened up once Master rose to king. It was called the Edith dungeon and it mostly had wyverns and elementals. When this dungeon was first discovered by Martimer and Joul, both of them got a large boost in stats from all of the wyverns they consumed and made a few powerful undead as well. The levels of the monsters here were a wide range of levels, going from 180 to upwards of 250. It goes even higher than that, but we haven't gotten that deep yet. I plan on going as deep in the dungeon as possible. My current level is at 220 and I can feel like I'm close to my next rank. The dungeon run for most of the dungeon wasn't that special because all of us were around the same level. A lot of golems tend to not have names unless they are epic rating or higher. Sometimes rare golems are named if they show amazing growth potential. Golems with a name are seen as royalty in the golem society and it makes me proud to have a name. On the subject of names, Master also stated to the golem society that his full name is Dazzle Daedalus. Such a powerful name!

By the time we reached the boss room of the major wyvern, I noticed that after this boss room would be uncharted territory. I honestly didn't think that we would make it to this point, but my determination for my love shall not falter!

I walked back to the city in happy strides with my party. We were quite battered, but excited due to our full inventories and my newest accomplishment. All of us were thrown off a bit though, when we noticed that every golem started to gather at the training grounds. I rushed over there in big strides to see what the commotion was about. I spotted Torva sitting a bit to the side and ran next to her. I would save my surprise for later. In the center of the training field stood Fenrir, Madam Julie and Master were near each other discussing something that I couldn't pick up even with my enhanced hearing. Fenrir and Julie nodded to Master and Master took a few steps back before Fenrir raised one hand in front of him, started to chant, and Julie followed after him.

[Fenrir POV]

I felt like I had reached the peak of what I could learn from Piaro and my own insight on swordsmanship. I managed to level myself up to 310, but I stopped gaining experience for some reason. It was like I reached some wall that I'm struggling to break though. I decided to consult Father as much as it pained me to do so. I looked for Julie first since I'm sure that she could use some insight from him as well. I found her in one of the castle's training grounds, attacking a dummy golem. Dummy golems are an interesting type of our species that Father created. They mimic an opponent's weakness or weaknesses and make it into their strength before fighting them. Martimer and Joul had the hardest time dealing with them since they had to deal with the golems using holy magic against them. The dummy golems wouldn't work on me unless I was fighting a dummy golem of someone else. I tend to spar with dummy golems that mimic Father since they tend to bring the best enlightenment when I'm stuck. I won whenever I spared against the dummy golems but never won when I fought Father himself.

It was mostly due to the fact that he could use the power of any one of us that he has ever created. Meaning he could use my strength against me and make it even better. Father managed to make an improved dummy golem that worked on Julie though called a mimic golem. This one just copied all of your abilities so you would be fighting yourself without any of your weaknesses. Julies stopped sparring and ran over to me to give me a hug. I hugged her back and told her my situation. She just nodded with a serious look without saying anything. Then she had a sad look on her. It looked like she was in a similar situation. I guess it happens faster for Legends than unique ranked beings. At that moment, something I didn't expect to happen, came to both of us as a quest.

[To Go Even Further Beyond]

Difficulty: Unknown

You and your sister Julie have reached an unclimbable wall and can't seem to find a solution to this problem. Consult your father, The Golem King Daz for further assistance on this matter.

Quest clear conditions: ???

Rewards: ???

This was the first time that either of us have actually received a quest from the voice of the world. I guess it was a good thing that I came to get Julie first.

Julie told me that Father was taking a break from creating more golems and was doing something in one of the training grounds. We went to see what Father was doing so we could consult him on this matter. Once we reached the training grounds in a secluded part of the castle, we spotted Father reading something. Once he noticed us, he waved us over and asked what we required of him outside of head pats. When we told him the problems we were facing, he surprised both of us by smiling.

[Daz] "I see, it's a good thing that both of you came to me first. I was going to originally come talk to you two once I finished doing my research. My solution to your problems might not necessarily work so don't expect something crazy to happen. What I'm about to teach you two is something experimental, but I believe that both of you can pull it off."

Once Father made that statement, he went on to tell us about creating a small reality within our souls and releasing it into the world. Father told us to create a chant that would represent ourselves, our history, our current lives, and everything else in between.

Father took us to a training grounds in the city once we had our chants ready. Once Father wished us luck and backed up a distance away. Both me and Julie distanced ourselves to take up half of the training grounds each before, raising our right hands in front of us, and started chanting.
