Scrap Golem Reincarnation
i used to be a solo developer for a game, well used to be, i died after finally finishing a game, it was a great game, but i died before i could upload it.
the idea of the game was that you were a weak monster, and you needed to grow stronger, kinda obvious, i know, but the twist was that there were many cheats to evolve into certain monster types, one of the most powerful ones being "scrap golems".
the scrap golems start off being the weakest, but if you get a certain item you can instantly evolve into the final form, however the item is way too rare to actually get in the early game without insane luck.
why am i telling you this? because i became a scrap golem! my body is so weak that i can only sit against a tree while not moving! this is boring!
i feel way too heavy, heavy and empty, as if i am missing a part of myself.
clang clang clang.
suddenly i hear something, wait, no way, this is...!
as if to mock me not being able to move suddenly a golem appears in front of me, "finally! someone to help me!" i thought, but i was wrong, that golem in front of me is a "hunter golem", basically my worst nightmare right now.
why? well because hunter golems hunt and eat other golems, and i can not move! i am basically a lunchbox to this guy!
did i mention that i designed those hunter golems? great idea i know.
as the hunter golem kept getting closer with its sharp teeth i thought to myself that i was done for.
but suddenly a light appeared underneath me, wait i recognize this light, this is a summoning circle! i am saved, unless my summoner is also in danger, but at least i will be safer with someone who can actually move! "i accept!" i think to myself, as if receiving an order the summoning circle started to shine even brighter! yes! i am saved!
as the light started to shine even brighter the hunter golem ran into it to attack me, "can you not see i am escaping!? go away!" as i was thinking this i disappeared together with the hunter golem in front of me.
clang!
"oof! that was a harsh landing" i thought to myself as i landed bottom first on the ground, normally i am supposed to be summoned while standing up, but i could only sit before this so i landed a bit less beautiful than i was supposed to.
"wow! this place is really nice" i think as i look around the area, it seems that i was summoned on top of a podium inside a large hall filled with what looks like students and their teachers.
screech! as i almost forgot about the hunter golem that was chasing me it let out a pain filled scream.
when i look over i see that it is getting shredded by many attacks from all sides, "ha! serves you right!" i think to myself as i begin to look for my summoner.
"hmm, where could my summoner be?" i remember that in the game summoned creatures are summoned with their backs to the master to react to combat.
as i look behind me i do not see anyone, huh? wait, why do i hear someone crying?
as i hear sobs i look below where i looked before and see a silver haired young girl with tears in her eyes.
she is at most three quarters my height, so she must be pretty short, after all, scrap golems are not large at all.
"why is it worthless?" the girl started sobbing louder after she said this, hey! that is rude, you know!? as i was thinking that i suddenly realized that the girl had a weird aura around her, the aura made me feel as if i had to listen to her every order.
"loyalty, huh." i thought as i realized what this aura was, loyalty was a thing i had made for every golem so they could never go against their masters, however that only counts for npc golems, players who chose a golem as their start dont get this, because, you know, no one wants to be a pet in a game, i think.
so why in the holy spaghetti do i feel the loyalty!?
wait, am i not a player?
am i just an npc now?
right before i had a mental breakdown my body moved on its own to a line of different monsters, ah, my fellow summoned creatures, no wait, why are they all so impressive!? there is even an earth drake here! a wyvern too!? now i get why i was called worthless!
after becoming sad i saw the students who i guessed are the summoners walk in front of their summoned monsters, you know, i feel really out of place here, with all the high rank monsters here.
even the students could destroy me easily, that is how weak i am. the students are even looking at me and my summoner while laughing.
"marie! come to the main office." as this voice was heard the entire hall became silent, and my summoner started walking towards the exit with a sad look on her face, i started following her, not like i could do anything else with this stupid loyalty.
looks like my master is named marie, huh, wait, that is the name of a character i made! marie silverhawk, the unlucky girl who summons a worthless monster and then sells it!? i knew she seemed familiar! so she is one of the main cast i made, so that must mean the others are here too.
looks like my own game design is really biting my hand right now, i made you! why are you being so annoying!?
well, looking at the bright side, at least i know that this is basically my game! and because i made it i know all of the cheats!
as i was thinking this we arrived at the main office, inside the office there was a man sitting on a couch looking very disappointed.
the man had long silver hair, a thing every member of the silverhawk family had, even his eye color was silver, which showed he was the family head.
"marie! why did you summon something like that?" the man said angrily while pointing at me.
"i apologize, father, i do not know." marie answered sadly.
"do not worry, i will not hold this against you, however, you should get rid of it, do you understand?"
"yes, father." marie seemed to calm down after hearing this.
"good, you can leave now."
as i followed marie out of the room to the market i could feel stares from everyone we came across, i did not mind but the same could not be said about my summoner, from being born in a powerful family and being pampered, to then summoning something like me and being looked down on, looks like this is pretty hard on her.
while trying to move on my own i realized that i can not even lift a finger without an order, this is so annoying! so all i can do is chase after my summoner while stumbling like an idiot.
as we finally arrived at the market, i could see hundreds of people walking around, selling and buying stuff, as i walked i looked over the stalls to see if there is anything that could get me out of this mess.
"wait is that? holy carp! it is!" i yelled in my mind as i suddenly saw something that made my mind go wild.
