Hey sorry for the length of this chapter I will try better tomorrow

I was back in my room at the Jolly Giant waiting for my two companions to dress in their equipment it was newbie gear enhanced with a few monster cores I tried synergizing more than one core at a time to great failure. The weapons that already had a soul exploded from the force of having another soul heaped on top of it. If it wasn''t for my newly acquired natural armor I would have died. But they were wearing good equipment.
The First to finish dressing was Sara she now was wearing holy armor over a tunic and trousers. The armor was made from newb platmaille and holy water, same with the sword and shield she had. I gave her a skill book on healing so that she can be more like a paladin. Xander now wore dark leather armor and had four daggers each of the shadow alignment.
A few days have passed and by talking to Alissa I have learned that the skills and spells most adventurers learn from the trainers are the bare bones and the so called ''wizards'' that are adventurers don''t have a fine control of a true spell caster, as they don''t learn the meaning behind the chants and runes that they use. She also said that the only way to become a true spellcaster is to go to a Arcane University where they teach it. I was interested in going but she said one needs to have a basic understanding of magic first, so I asked her to teach me, she agreed for more money. She began by teaching me how to read auras which took a day, after that she began teaching me all she knows about magic, theory, history, spell formations, the runic alphabet,and much more. I also spent the time learning crafts from the master artisans around town a locals recommendation goes a long way.
A week passed by and finally the money arrived. I now have enough money to get Justin to do what I want, I''m such a evil brother. After giving the money I owed Justin we bought enough material for me to make one hundred magic items but out of all the one hundred only forty-five became living. I had fifty cores left ranging from grade F to grade A so I ate them gaining a total of one-hundred-thousand and twenty-two experience.

I guess I will put one half into synergy and every thing else split among the rest.

New knowledge flooded my mind giving me a headache so strong I was on my knees in pain, after a few minutes I recovered enough to stand, my Npc companions there to help me. It looks like I will have to be careful of how much knowledge I gain at once I could die from that amount of pain.
I began looking for a university for me to go to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that I have my three companions a Slime Wizard a Kasath Warrior and a Frogmen Rouge I decided to head to a new dungeon in the hope of getting more companion eggs since I can have only four active I will find a healer acrhtype to keep and sell the rest Alex probably would like two more as well. Well I''ll make sure to charge him extra cutting me out of the deal, probably because I forced him to give me his share of the dungeon delve. Though he will probably give me whatever I need though he''ll hold it over me for the rest of my life.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
The first floor was a Serpents den with snake people controlling them. We were having a hard time because of the poison I only bought enough cure for a few hours of fighting but we have been at it for an hour already and we haven''t even found the boss room. Two hours have passed Ally the slime is the only one strong enough to get us out of here the poison have all but parylized the rest of us the boss of the floor is a B Rank boss we didn''t stand a chance it was a young green dragon I need help.At the exit of the dungeon I saw another party of adventurers players like me though they had a glitchy particle effect around them once they saw me they shouted
Group "Death to the alien lover"
And promptly killed us.
The next thing we saw was the town spawn portal where we spawned in the same position I quickly messaged Alex telling him what happened and to meet with me. He arrived and took me to the Jolly Giant.
Alex "So Players killed you and company right?"
Justin "Yes and the thing is I feel week like I have the flue."
Alex "What! That should not be possible you should be healthy. Let''s call the admin."
Justin "What if she deletes me?"
Alex "I don''t think she will but I wont let her if she tries."
He made a swiping gesture accessing the main menu he called up the gm and the next thing we knew we were in a white void with the admin in front of us
Adessa "This is worse than I imagined to think someone corrupted your code the only thing I can do is reset you that means you will lose all of your ability''s skills and items."
Justin "No please I worked so hard for those and what about Ally, Xactue, and Gribble?"
Adessa "I will give you new skills and ability''s and those three will be reverted to egg form."
Justin "Fine I want something powerful though."
Adessa "I can give you a skill or ability on a power level equaling all your skills and ability''s up to date."
Justin "How about whenever I kill something I can turn it into a summon that is under my control?"
Adessa "Very well you shall have Soul Summon."
Adessa "Now onto a more pressing matter you say players did this to you? odd I have no logs of a crime happening yet."
Justin "Yeah they were real glitchy too. what if someone hacked the system?"
Adessa "Possible but unlikely but I will look out for this in the future now I want you two to message me if you see someone like this again I will put a message out telling players to be wary."
We were teleported back to the Jolly Giant where alex Looked at me and said
Alex "Sorry about messing with you I will sponsor your adventures from now on."
Justin "Ok Sorry about messing with you too I will make sure to bring back any arcane knowledge to ya."
And like that these worlds got a lot more dangerous.

??? "That Alien lover was week. Have you hacked his code yet we need to figure out how to reverse the process"
??? "No hacking is still hard no matter how much of a computer brain I have now, besides this code is complex."
??? "How long till he is dismantled?"
??? "Not long. Dang it!!!"
??? "What happened?"
??? "The stupid alien reset her code and locked me out I need to hide us from her new firewall."

Two years ago in the reaches of space
??? "My Lord The Sure-ackion''s have found them another civilization to complain to, the stupid tree huggers."
??? "If they digitize them I want you to send a couple of hackers to the moon of the planet what do they call it?
??? "Earth my lord and it shall be done this time we will kill them from within their own system."

Alex is going to experiment more heavily with synergy next chapter and I would like suggestions on what he should do. He will try to synergise his skills so possible combinations would be nice.
