"Samsara? You're here!" a happy voice called
"Huh?" Sam wondered and looked up in surprise.
His heart missed a beat as he saw that he was in the Nexus, and all his familiars were there looking at him with teary eyes.
"Girls!" he yelled as all of them jumped on him, hugging him and kissing him.
"Don't get too happy. Watch your mana" Sharon's voice entered his head
"Sharon?" he wondered as he looked at his mana
Sam was shocked as his mana was depleting at a rate of 1 per second while he was in the Nexus
Seeing that his mana is down in the 60s and seeing the warg still looking for him outside, he decided he needed to finish it off first before he runs out of mana
"Sorry girls. This mana usage is killing me. Let me finish first" he said as he immediately exited the Nexus, but not before changing positions, making sure he exited on the monster's back
Instantly upon landing on it's back, he fired 10 [Magic Missiles] directly onto the warg's face causing it to collapse in pain.
But it flung him off as it wasn't dead yet.
"What the..." Sam screamed as he scrambled from the floor.
As the warg stumbled to get closer, Sam decided to summon Diana aka Wonder Woman
Just then, something weird was happening to his body as two graceful arms appeared from his abdomen, making it look like he had 4 arms, then Diana's face and head appeared from his chest as she pushed her way out of him
Her legs came out next as she stood up and the last portion where they were joined were their genitalia, which separated instantly as she stood up and charged at the warg.
"Some things never change" Sam thought to himself, looking at the naked beauty smashing the warg with a punch.
As it crashed into a tree, Diana jumped on it and twisted its neck, killing it instantly.
She ran back towards Sam who was busy healing himself to 100% health.
"Samsara!" she smiled as she helped pull him up
They both hugged and kissed passionately like old lovers who haven't seen each other for a long time.
Sam quickly looked at his mana and was glad to see that even as his mana was now down to 34, with Diana here it wasn't going down at a rate of 1 per second.
Instead, it was going down at a rate of 1 per minute.
They had a quick conversation and Sam found out that his familiars regained consciousness when he appeared naked in the field. That means they didn't witness anything that happened to him or Sharon on earth.
"Watch your mana" Sharon's voice suddenly said.
"I guess I'll have to go" Diana said.
"For now. Until I can figure out this mana usage" Sam said, hugging and kissing her again.
To his surprise, to let her back into the Nexus, as long as any part of his body was "inside" them with their naked skin, she would merge back into his skin and re-enter into the Nexus.
Diana disappeared as his tongue entered her mouth, her body merged into his tongue and mouth, disappearing in an instant.
It was only now that he noticed his pop up window blinking a notification.
"Huh?" Sam wondered as he clicked on it
[Level up]
[Level up]
He was now a Level 2 after killing two wargs.
"Right, lets figure out what's what" he said, checking his stats
As he had leveled up, he was given 2 stat points per level. So with 4 points he simply increased his strength, speed, agility and durability. And he noticed his Life points and mana each increased by 4 too.
Then there was a option to gain a skill.
Remembering that this incarnation, he doesn't have unlimited usage of his powers, since he could not hide in the Nexus like before and leave everything to his familiar, he would have to take a more active role.
So since he had his previous powers as a free gift, he decided to become a melee player instead and chose swordsman, leveling up his swordsmanship.
He checked his status again, and they looked like this
[Name: Sam Serra
Age:19
Class: None
Level: 2
Strength: 6 Speed: 6
Agility: 6 Durability: 6
Intelligence: 5 Charisma: 8
Life: 104 Mana: 105]
[Skill - Swordsmanship Lvl 2]
[Special Skill - Summon Familiars]
[Special Skill - Heal]
[Special Skill - Magic Missile]
Remembering he was still naked, he started heading back to the clearing
While he was walking, he tried to communicate with the familiars in the Nexus, but was surprised that there was nothing. He couldn't communicate with them.
"They are all talking at the same time, it's giving me a headache" Sharon suddenly said
"Wait. You can hear them?" Sam asked
"Yes. Where did you get so many famous actresses to work for you?" she asked
"Nevermind that. Can they hear me?" Sam asked
"Yes. All of them are asking for you to summon them" Sharon answered
"I can't right now girls. My mana is getting low. Lets survive this first and try to raise my mana" Sam replied
There were several things Sam could figure out about his mana usage.
Every [Magic Missile] bullet cost 1 mana, as does every hit point he recovered from using [Heal] which went at a rate of 1 per second.
Every second in the Nexus was also 1 mana of usage, and while each time he summoned a familiar cost nothing, them being summoned cost 1 mana per minute.
Looking at his mana for a while, he realized that his mana recovered at 1 per minute too.
Unlike his previous existence, this time whoever the beings are that took him, they made sure that he didn't have a free ride with his powers.
But having the Nexus was still like a hack. And these powers were like a free gift while he was still at Level 0, meaning they were free even though they cost mana to use.
If this was like a computer game, he should be able to increase his mana, since he only had 104 as his current limit at Level 2.
He walked through the field looking for clothes from the dead bodies killed by the wargs.
Unfortunately most of them were ripped and pretty much unusable with blood and gore everywhere. He only found a pair of army boots from a dead body who was dressed in army gear.
However, Sam did find one body whose clothes were pretty much intact as only the head had been ripped off.
"Damn, this feels familiar" he said as he got dressed in the only clothes he could find.
Together with army boots, he was now dressed in a school uniform skirt which barely covered his genitals, and a white school blouse which he ripped at its shoulders.
Reusing a dead person's underwear was too disgusting, he thought. Besides, most of the bodies soiled themselves as they died.
He picked up a sword, its scabbard and a crossbow with bolts as he wandered off.
The mission was to survive 3 days, and he kept his eye on his mana that was slowly climbing.
