2 Chapter 2

Samuel's father was one example, since he was young he had been put in a position of power by force in order to make money, and he slowly but surely developed his own aura.

From Samuels studying, his father's aura simply to make others listen to him and willingly follow his lead. This allowed him to collect some skilled talents and lead a small business into a relatively large consortium.

Unfortunately that seems to be the limit. The effect of the aura emitted by an ordinary person can only influence those weaker in mind. So the potential of the skill is limited to those slightly talented people.

''Finally Son, you asshole staying up in your room. We barely see you anymore without your head in a book'' Samuels dad moaned angrily but his face was full of smiles.

''Anyway here's an early birthday present.'' He pushed a small box wrapped neatly in a bow.

''Your old man put a lot of work into getting this for you, you better treasure it.'' Samuels dad put on a cold face as his mother chuckled slightly seeing how her husband reacted.

Samuels curiosity was piqued as he picked up the exquisite box and slowly unwrapped it.

What he saw sitting inside of the box made his head spin.

A small translucent crystal with a light mist floating within.

''A Spiritual Crystal ??? Dad how did you get this?'' Samuel exclaimed.

A small spiritual crystal was sitting within the box. Samuel was dumbfounded. Although he could see it he was still doubtful that it actually exists!

He has heard of rich families purchasing Spiritual Crystals in order to improve their own physique or assist in the development of an aura. Anything to get ahead of the competition in the world.

''Haha you like the present then? I tapped into some connections and got it for your 16th birthday!''

Samuel almost cried when he heard that. He knew how difficult it would be to get this crystal, even his family fortune might not be enough to purchase a single crystal.

But this was all Samuel needed.

As soon as his hand touched the crystal a system notification popped up in his mind.

[Absorb it?]

''YES !'' Samuel exclaimed out loud, startling his parents who were watching intently.

[Energy +100]

''Finally I can summon my first Dog of War'' Samuel thought before speaking to his dad…

''Thanks dad, I'll be in my room!'' Samuel shouted as he ran off upstairs ignoring his parents' confusion.

After slamming the door closed Samuel turned on the System Screen.

[Dogs of War: 0

Energy: 100

Summoning: 1 Inch-100 Energy, 2 Inch-100,000 Energy, 3 Inch- 1,000,000 Energy… Etc]

''But 100,000 for a 2 Inch Spiritual Root Warrior? That's too blackhearted right?'' Samuel was pissed off when he heard that. However he understood it. One 2 Inch Spiritual Root means that Samuel can continuously receive 2 Inch Spiritual root children.

And naturally the System is preparing Samuel for a long term development plan.

The true Value of Samuel

''System immediately uses 100 Energy to summon a Rank 1 Dog of War.''

As soon as his words fell a lean figure appeared in front of him. He was only 5ft 10 and was slightly thin.

You wouldn't bat an eye if you saw this man walking across the street but Samuel knew he was more than meets the eye.

''System showed me his status.''

[Dog of War: A1

First Generation Dog of War

Spiritual Root: 1 Inch

LifeSpan: 20/100

Rank: N/A

Aura:N/A

Talent: Bloodline Supremacy (Control of the younger generations of the same bloodline)

Summary: First Dog of War, just born with no specific talents. Potential is limited due to the 1 Inch Spiritual root and is unlikely to make any waves in this world.]

''Not bad for a first summon! Although he is young with no individual talents he has plenty of time for development. A1 Start training to become a warrior.''

Although he has no individual talents A1 has the talent that comes with all Dog of wars, they can control their bloodline below their generation.

So if A1 has children they will listen to his orders much like vampires. This is to prevent the families getting too large and A1 losing control.

Becoming a warrior when you have a spiritual root is pretty simple, you simply need to absorb the energy and spread it throughout your body.

Even the most untalented 1 Inch Spiritual Root can easily become a Rank 1 Warrior.

While A1 was practising on Samuels floor, he went and put on a black and white suit preparing for his coming of age ceremony.

The proceedings were simple, presents, partying speeches, simple. But Samuel was on the lookout for one thing, potential.

Now this potential isn't talking about spiritual Roots, Samuel wasn't stupid enough to believe that someone here would be a warrior. Rather he was looking for talented women who can match with hsi first Dog of War.

Although it seems like the premise of the system is summoning, through his years of research he determined that the future of the system is based on sustainable development.

After all he can't be expected to go out and farm constant spiritual crystals in order to summon low rank dogs of war.

Rather the correct pathway is to summon dogs of war and let them procreate and gradually build up bloodlines. After all, newly summoned Dogs of war have no talent and are already a quarter of the way through their birth.

This naturally limits their potential but if they are specifically trained in martial arts, combat and had their entire life to practice they are likely to get even further in life.

Spiritual Roots are incredibly important but not absolute. 1 Inch Spiritual roots are generally limited in the first rank of warriors, 2inch in the second rank and so on. But this is not absolute.

1 Inch Spiritual roots can reach the second rank with various adventures or enough time.

But it's incredibly difficult and it's almost impossible to reach the third rank no matter how much time they are given.

That's why talents and Auras are so important, they can determine who wins in a fight between two people of the same rank.

But this is where the Dogs of Wars talent is so incredible. Theoretically if they have enough children with good talents they can live forever with the added bonuses from their children's lifespan.

But this is all far far far away from Samuel right now. But it couldn't hurt to get the foundations in place.

That's why he specifically looked for women with talents in various areas. As for the fact that most of the guests are from influential families, he doesn't care.

A1 will be a warrior in a couple of hours, and who can turn down a future partner who is a warrior?
