He studied the symbol carved into the door; a massive warbow with a lightning bolt etched inside a circle, right where both halves of the door met. From its pillars and design, Godfrey knew it was a door, but it was made of solid stone. Even with Mountain pushing with all his might, it didn’t budge.
Godfrey finally opened his eyes in the real world. After all his attempts had failed, he rose to his feet and walked toward his bedroom. He needed rest. After such a long journey, it would be better to recover before diving into research about the green gate dungeons. They were spreading across the city now, so it wouldn’t take long to find details online.
Still dwelling on this thought, he opened the door to his room, but the moment he stepped inside, every instinct screamed in alarm. His body moved before his mind did, summoning Mountain instantly.
’What’s this?!’
The familiar comfort of his bedroom was gone. Instead, Godfrey stood within towering medieval stone walls, their upper corners veiled in age-old cobwebs. The floor beneath his feet was paved with crude, weather-worn blocks. It felt like he had been transported into the bowels of an ancient castle.
And twenty meters ahead, two hulking green-skinned beings awaited. Thick, bulging muscles strained beneath their rough hides, their ugly faces were made worse by the two thick tusks jutting upward from their gums. Bald-headed and clothed only in crude war-skirts of animal hide and bone, they radiated brutality.
Seven feet tall, brutish and savage, these were none other than orcs.
Godfrey froze. A green dungeon had manifested right inside his room. His bedroom of all places!
Only now did the words of the news anchor truly sink in. If green dungeons were this rampant, people weren’t just at risk, they were living on borrowed time.
"Ukhxhes! Les kashisj!!" one of the orcs bellowed in a guttural tongue, brandishing its cudgel. The other mirrored his rage, and both charged.
Mountain moved like a tempest. His cloak snapped behind him as he intercepted the first orc’s blow, his shield absorbing the impact and reflecting it with such force that the orc’s arm shattered.
With a swift parry, he turned the second’s cudgel aside and slammed an ironclad boot into its chest. The sheer power behind the strike sent the orc crashing into the wall like a ragdoll.
As the stunned orc staggered, Mountain crushed the first with a brutal shield-bash, the steel rim caving its skull. He spun fluidly, hurling his longsword across the chamber, the blade pierced clean through the chest of the second orc, pinning it against the wall.
"Kavsshi juvkeh!!" A furious roar erupted from above. Another orc leaped from the staircase landing, plummeting down with both feet aimed at Mountain’s shield.
The collision rang out like thunder, but instead of Mountain falling back, the orc’s legs gave way. Bones snapped, blood sprayed, and the creature crumpled in agony.
Two more orcs rushed to join the fray, but Mountain was already upon them. He retrieved his sword mid-charge, parried their wild swings, and cut them down with mechanical precision. Within two minutes, all five lay dead on the cobbled floor.
Godfrey stood frozen, stunned by the towering knight before him. Mountain’s golden armor gleamed even under streaks of green orc blood. If Godfrey had ever doubted knights before, he didn’t now.
Mountain wasn’t merely a summon, he was a fortress made flesh.
The same orcs who could reduce a bodybuilder to pulp had fallen to him like straw before the scythe.
Stepping over the corpses to the staircase, Godfrey tilted his head to study his summon more closely.
Summoners had unique skills granted through their bonds. Symbiosis allowed them to inherit half their summon’s physical strength. Echo, another, allowed them to use their summon’s traits or skills directly.
