ROOOOOAAARRRR
In the distance, a thunderstorm of feet wreaked havoc on the forest. As the noise grew louder, he could see the trees falling over. Slade started to feel nervous. Despite his military training, he had never fought 12-foot-tall tigers and actual lizard beasts. As the first dozen beasts dashed past the tree line at unknown speeds, Slade tightened his grip on his lightsaber and blaster.
"Alright, everyone, use your discretion to pull and kill beasts. The Force users dug deep and started putting their hands out with a quick squeeze and pull. Ten beasts standing at the protective barrier were yanked in and planted face-first into the dirt. Everyone went berserk and started shooting their blasters, their shots cutting through them like butter and headshots burning a giant hole in their skulls.
Vader, with his iconic red saber buzzing and his one hand raised, was a sight to behold as he watched a 12-foot armored lizard flail in the air. Blood started leaking through its eyes, ears, and mouth. Vader just Force-gripped it and crushed it in a matter of seconds.
Sirius was using the Force to float around the field, pulling unsuspecting beasts into the protective ring and chaining tens of beasts with his lightning . His Force lightning was more terrifying than actual lightning.
Thorne, with his unmatched lightsaber, was still able to use his average Force powers to drag them through the shield. He had tens of different beasts from tigers to rhinos to lizards. All these beasts had red eyes as if they had lost all reason.
As Slade realized these beasts were simply berserk, he told Sirius to start using his illusions to reduce the numbers so they didn't have to work so hard. With over 100 bodies inside the protective circle, he wondered how the other lords were doing…
Somewhere far on a tall mountain, a beautiful woman with silver hair and chrome-armored scales along the back of her hands stood. Her long, sharp nails, though vicious, exuded a charming aura. Her gold reptilian eyes could have you fall into a staring match with her. She looked down over the land she had spawned in and let out a terrifying roar that sounded like a dragon.
This was Aria Daival, a chrome dragon, something that should only be found in a book about myths. She had awakened as a chrome dragon, possessing metal magical abilities. However, chrome dragons had a massive and tough body that reflected damage but also absorbed it for a repulse effect like a black panther suit.
Aria turned to see her summons: five adult dragons and six wyverns, as well as giant serpents. Although she didn't have a strong feeling of the others, anyone with just one adult dragon could survive the first week without any problems.
Aria's shop didn't sell weapons since her entire body was one. However, she could acquire armor that had built-in weapons, such as gauntlets with sharp claws or armor that could use her tail as a weapon. She had bought a lot of food for her summons, as they were ten times the size of humans, so the food consumption wasted a significant amount of her money. The first thing she did was send her adult dragons to gather more food around the nest.
Aria detested this place. She yearned to return home to her man and sleep. She was a lazy girl who wanted to live simply, but she had to find him in this new world.
Her lover, on the other hand, was laughing hysterically as he forcefully gripped and dragged various beasts. His manipulation of the force was growing steadily at 40%. After collecting all the bodies in one spot and around 500 beasts, it made Slade, who had only been here for about 12 hours, vomit a few times. However, as he got up, a calm settled over him, and he no longer felt nauseous.
*ding*
Beast meat: 5x, beast meat: 5x, 1 crystal core.
"A crystal core? What's that?" Slade wondered.
Crystal core: A core of a beast, it contains an unknown amount of energy and can be used in various ways.
Slade threw the core to Sirius and instructed him to drain it and see how he felt. Sirius did as he was told, and the core transformed into a blue air that was sucked into Sirius. Sirius looked at Slade and exclaimed, "These insignificant crystals are negligible, only tens or a hundred would you be able to see a difference."
For reaching 40% manipulation of the Force, he unlocked Force Lightning and Combustion. Force Lightning was the official dark side power, and he loved it. He held his hand out, palm down, fingers out, and a vicious lightning spread through the air with a screech.
*ding*
"Congratulations, Lords, on your first day of survival. As a reward, we will open the community chat, which will help you find your families and friends. Additionally, we have set up a trade chat. Each Lord has specific items they can sell from their store, but anyone can use it."
Slade jumped up and immediately started typing, scrolling through the chat to find his family. He also searched for his girlfriend, who had left for work just before they were dragged here. Since Slade had lost his parents early in life, he had treated his aunt and cousins as his mother and brothers. It felt easier for him that way. He found his cousins, and they had Lord jobs that directly connected them to the real world. One was a mechanic who built vehicles and uprgrade them and one was even a drug lord his shop gave him access to plants that were used as different alchemy ingredients. His cousins told him they had gotten good stuff and were getting the hang of it, so he left them to their own devices.
Next, Aria scrolled through the endless data stream and found her parents and sister. They were all alive, and she finally found him. As she read "Force Lord," she couldn't help but giggle, knowing what it was as Slade had Star Wars memorabilia all over the house and she was forced to watch shows and movies all the time.
"Hello, handsome." a clear, crisp, and soft voice resonated through Slade's ears, sending shivers down his spine.
"My love, where are you?" he asked, getting straight to the point. He couldn't leave her alone. But a soft giggle made his heart race.
"Do you think I'm just a helpless girl? You better be careful, or I might be stronger than you when we see each other again," Aria said with a smirk that Slade could hear through the voice chat.
"Well, my girl is a dragon. You already know how much you were obsessed with dragons," he replied, pausing for a moment. "I also have a lightsaber and a blaster, with Darth Vader."
"HUH," Aria almost choked as he finished his words. "Darth Vader? The Darth Vader?" Yes, yes, that guy! I am his master now.
Aria was stunned. She couldn't believe he had shown up. So, she bragged about her now five adult dragons of different elements, claiming that they could possibly make her the strongest. Knowing how strong dragons were, it was quite amusing to see her girlfriend of so long bragging about being a dragon and all her dragon features.
Before coming here, Aria was 5'4" with brown hair, black eyes, and an above-average face that would still get constant looks. But now, her white, silver hair, purple eyes, and 5'11 height made her want to flaunt her looks.
Slade was a modest 5'9" with long, wavy brown hair and blue eyes. Now, he was 6'4" thanks to Force body. He now had long, straight brown hair, tan skin, and blue with streaks of yellow that were red rimmed. The outside rim of his iris was red, while the inside rim was golden yellow, but his full iris was blue. It gave people a mystical feeling of peace but also danger.
Knowing that his girlfriend was on a mountain with five adult dragons and still had six days to figure everything out, he told her to be safe and message him whenever she felt like it.
Slade didn't have anything to do except maybe sell some crystals and meditation to get his Force manipulation to reach 50% within a day or two. But it kept getting slower as he got to 42%.
Community trade posts were going through at an alarming rate. People were selling meat, blueprints, and weapons from their stores. As someone who possessed lightsabers and blasters, he firmly refused to sell to anyone.
With that thought, he had 9,000 credits left. He decided to purchase Ashoka's lightsabers—two white sabers, one with a smaller hilt and the other a regular size—and Leia's blaster, which was a formidable weapon. He immediately sent them to Aria without requesting anything in return.
When Aria opened the trade request, her jaw dropped. She probably repeated the phrase "I love you" about 20 times before accepting it and trading him an adult shadow dragon.
The shadow dragon, sleeping on the mountain, felt a suction and was terrified. He had just arrived and wondered why he would die doing nothing. But when he opened his eyes, he saw green plains cut off by a red wood forest. However, he couldn't quite place where he was.
"Shhhhhhhh shhaaaaaaa who are you?!" a deep question reverberated through the dragon. The Force swirling around Vader as he held his hand out, and he grabbed the air. The dragon, looking at this man in a black mechanical suit, felt the pressure he emanated. Before he could utter a word, he couldn't breathe. It was being choked by the force, a higher power of magic that this low level dragon didn't posses.
"Stop," a heavy voice and aura surrounded the area. Vader immediately let go and knelt, as if that were the only thing to do. The dragon had only been summoned today and had been traded to some psychos in black outfits.
"My lord, I mean no disrespect. I was simply transported here. Please don't kill me…"
The shadow dragon was terrified. He felt as though the man in the white mask with his black battle robes was a black hole that was sucking in all the energy around him. Not to mention, the calm, terrifying breathing of Robo Cop, aka Darth Vader, would crush him by merely holding his hand up in a choking motion.
As the dragon bowed, he had no faith in himself not to faint. This caused Vader to look at this 20-foot black, shining dragon with anger and said, "I find your lack of faith, quite disturbing. Shhhhhhh shaaaaaa."
Slade was perplexed. Why was this shadow dragon so afraid and acting like a baby? He didn't know that he could swallow the vitality of anyone under his level. After his killing spree, his manipulation and level were interlinked, so the more he killed, the more he manipulated the Force. His stats, except for Force, had skyrocketed since he had a Force body, and his outfit constantly sucked in Force energy to refill.
This dragon would now be the community bus, leveling up by killing beasts or humans. So, he sent Vader with a scout trooper and the shadow dragon to find more settlements around. Thinking about Vader flying down on a massive black dragon with his outfit, aura, and voice was utterly terrifying.
While Vader went to look for settlements, the other people started to gather more resources around the land. The Force laborers were the most productive, able to pull trees out of the ground, sense ores or caves, and find the most fertile land. In the trade community, he sold crystal cores for 2,000 credits, which wasn't bad considering it made you stronger. I had over 400, but I'll sell about 300 so the other hundred I'll use once I unlock Force Drain to get the most out of it.
After 3 hours, all 300 crystals were gone, and Vader hadn't come back yet. So, he decided that with his newfound wealth, he needed people, buildings, and food. The first upgrade was his lord house, which was now level 2.
Level 2 lord house: Can house 10 blueprint buildings and 50 summons.
Upgrade 50x units of beskar, 50x units of food, 50 summons, and 10 buildings.
With this upgrade, the house became higher from a big shed to now a small home. It looked sleek with its futuristic design. The shop was also updated since he upgraded his house.
Blueprints:
Bounty guild: Recruit bounty hunters now and can issue and track bounties. Summon for 20,000 credits.
Sword training: Here, Jedi and Sith learn how different forms of combat. 50,000 credits.
Force training hall: Force trainers now have a dedicated building where they can instruct or force users to work on their manipulation of the Force. Cost: 50,000 credits.
Barracks: Housing for trooper units. Each barracks has 10,000 credits and can accommodate 50 summons.
Barricade: A low, sturdy wall used to keep small to moderate threats at bay. Cost: 10,000 credits per mile.
After examining the next set of buildings for level 2, he purchased them all and strategically placed them. There's housing for units north of the lord's house, training grounds to the west, a bounty guild in the south with the trade merchant, and a storage room to the east. This storage room will be guarded by his summonable droids.
After investing a total of 180,000 credits, he had 420,000 credits left.
To maximize his barracks, he needed 30 more summons. He quickly summoned them, and to his surprise, he received a large number of droids.
- Force healers: 5x
- Force defenders: 5x
- 2x Jedi Knights
- 3 Sith assassins
- Commando droids: 5x
Commando droids were designed for stealth and infiltration. They were faster, stronger, and more accurate than regular battle droids. Their skills include smoke screens, vibro swords, and electric stuns.
- Smoke screen: Equipped with a built-in thermal sight, this skill is highly useful.
- Vibro sword: An embedded vibro knife allows them to easily cut through anything except beskar or a lightsaber.
- Electric stun: This skill immobilizes enemies for 1 hour when needed.
The next 5 droids were droidekas that would stand outside the storage room.
- Droidekas: These droids that transform into a ball and roll around are known as destroyer droids due to their massive defense and offense capabilities.
- Skills: Shield, Overcharged, Fail Safe
- Shield: As the droid stands up, a blue shield surrounds it, protecting it from energy blasts.
- Overcharged: In firing mode, twin blasters overcharge and shoot faster and stronger for 10 seconds. CD: 5 minutes.
- Fail Safe: If certain destruction is inevitable, this droid will self-destruct.
The last five pulls consisted of two heavy troopers and three recon troopers. While lacking the intensity of the first two pulls, they still provided him with the much-needed reinforcements he needed for tomorrow's exploration.
As he dismissed his summons, he headed to the new training hall to work on his manipulation of the Force for about nine hours. He managed to increase his manipulation by 45%, with a 1% increase every three hours. Since there wasn't any significant trouble at the moment, this progress seemed sufficient. With 50 summons now, he felt a sense of security.
Suddenly, a black dragon with a couple of figures on top emerged from the north, casting a shadow over the area. As Vader stood with his hands behind his back, he began to farm his aura. Tired of his games, I called out, "Report!"
Vader landed and immediately went to his knee. "My master," he said, "I have discovered many settlements around the north and east, but the south and west appear to be covered by a thick miasma. As I sensed the dark side of the Force pulling me, I wanted to explore, but I deemed it too dangerous to do so alone." Vader concluded, "Good work tomorrow. We shall begin taking over Lord Settlements."
With 330,000 credits in his possession, he was left wondering how to spend them. He decided to improve the barricade. Searching the store, he found various items, but none of them seemed necessary. With his limited budget, he managed to purchase a few K-2SO droids and a couple of probe droids. He planned to send these droids into the east and south to investigate the miasma. Each droid cost 1,000 credits, so he bought 10 K-2SO droids and 4 probe droids. Two K-2SO droids stood guard in front of the storage room, while the other four droids formed a barrier between them, ensuring that no one could sneak into the area once the lockdown was lifted.
In the shop, he was browsing through ships, his eyes drawn to two that he couldn't resist: Anakin's starfighter and Padmé's royal starfighter. Anakin's was designed for dogfights, while Padmé's was used for diplomatic relations. Both ships cost a hefty 30,000 credits. Now that he had 256,000 credits, he decided to explore the shop and find other items. He forgot all about his Mandalorian metalsmith, who could get busy.
In the shop, 1,000 units of beskar were priced at 100,000 credits. This discovery would set the stage for the next generation of summons. Without hesitation, he instructed all living beings to head to the metalsmith and acquire a new set of beskar armor. Jedi knights and Sith assassins alike received battle robes adorned with a light coating of beskar, similar to Slade's. Vader, now burdened by the weight of beskar, walked like a mountain, his invincibility palpable. Even a lord would wouldn't beat him.
I ensured that the metalsmith crafted every piece of armor in a dark shade of black. Even the Jedi wore all black, with subtle hints of brown, green, yellow or navy blue.
As the sun rose, a new day dawned, and the fate of the lords hung in the balance. Today, they would either surrender or perish.
