Reincarnated With A Summoning System

Cain sat down and started making something for everyone to eat while they waited and thought of better ideas for their band of wandering misfits to be called.

“Did you consult the Oath Breaker? It always has good ideas.” Luna asked after an hour of trying to come up with something really good.

“Oath Breaker says the Divine Rosebud is the name he would go with. But the reason is enough to make me not want to use it.” Cain explained.

“Regardless of the reason, it’s not a bad name. It flows rather well.” Penny shrugged.

“I was thinking of the Mystic Blossom, but that’s not perfect either. Too boring.” Tena sighed.

“Can we be the Cleansing Sword? I think it would fit really well.” Jen, the new Crusader suggested.

“It fits you really well. Two of us don’t use swords at all though.” Tena pointed out.

“This is harder than expected. Maybe we should just go with the first idea.” Luna tried, not knowing enough slang to get the joke about Rosebuds until Oath Breaker explained in her mind.

That didn’t stop her though. Luna was always a realist, she knew how Cain’s activities might come across as less than pleasant and honorable, so the name still fit them.

They went back and forth the entire time that dinner was cooked, and in the end, they still couldn’t come up with anything that just shouted “Amazing” at them.

“We should just call it the Natural Law Sect.” Sabbat joked.

“No, that one is pretty good. It’s exactly what we stand for. The purity and sanctity of the Natural Laws of the world and the sacred cultivation paths.” Cain agreed, barely managing to keep a straight face through such heavy sarcasm.

“What about the Forbidden Treasure Sect? It’s got a nice double meaning to it, referring to both the members and the System. Plus it has a female Cultivation Sect sort of feeling to it without being too obvious. Words like Lotus, Jade, and Blossom seem to just draw the creeps out of the woodwork.” Penny suggested.

“Yeah, we were looking for the Divine Blossom Sect before we were captured, and look what got us.” Jen sighed.

“That works in a third way as well. As Tena here already knows, I can make simple Runic Weapons for everyone to use. Another Forbidden Treasure, at least in that they are hard to come by, and harder to gain the knowledge to make.” Cain offered.

“A new sect and fancy weapons? Now we’re talking.” Sabbat cheered.

Luna grabbed Tena in a hug. “Did you hear that? We’re Forbidden Treasures, and not just because we’re kind of stabby.”

“Well, that’s one vote for the name. How does everyone else feel about it?” Cain asked.

There were no objections, so Cain updated the name and waited for a System update.

[Sect Created: Nearby System Users invited.]

[Congratulations Sect Master Cain]

[Please Select uniform colors.]

[Choice made by System]

Cain stared at the message for a moment, unsure what he had done to warrant the decision being made for him. Did they take too long to choose a name and time out?

The system shouldn’t have let them pick a duplicate name, so being stuck with someone else’s colors and identity seemed unlikely. At least, they should not be a duplicate of someone in this world.

The girls’ robes had all changed to beautiful peach and gold hanfu dresses, with loose pants underneath, as Luna had discretely already checked.

“Are we going to a beauty pageant? What happened to our robes, and dang Sect Master, who knew you were hiding all that?” Penny asked.

Cain’s robes had become a pair of loose black pants, cut above the ankle and tucked into soft leather boots, with a Peach sash and a translucent black coat Cain could only call a dressing robe for a gigolo, which was currently hanging open, showing off his magically chiseled physique covered in tattoos.

“I’m not sure what impression the System has of me, but it picked these automatically as our Sect colors,” Cain explained.

“Well, I like it. This outfit is adorable.” Luna chimed in.

“It really is. And the splits in the side, hidden within the layers, let you move and fight without hindrance, as long as your sleeves are out of the way.” Jen agreed.

“Before I forget, put these on. They’re armor for Paladins.” Cain informed her.

Cain handed her a plate chest plate, gauntlets, and pants, which vanished onto Jen’s body after a few seconds.

The chest plate became an overbust corset under her dress, and the gauntlets became delicate silk gloves with golden scales on top. Any female Paladin in the other world would kill for armor that is fashionable instead of bulky silver plate suits, but that’s what she got by default here.

“The corset is flexible, I can still move properly. It’s this what they call artifact armor?” Jen asked.

“Something like that. I have more for the others as well, and Luna is already wearing armor.”

Cain handed out the rest of the armor, but the only thing that visibly changed was the addition of gloves and the trim on Sabbat’s robes. This world had a very structured aesthetic, Cain realized, and the equipped items were being redesigned to blend in with the people of this world as they were equipped for the first time.

“Alright, Tena already has a staff to fight with, so she is good there, and Luna has a collection of weapons, but I should give each of you something. I’m not sure if the stuff from my homeworld will work properly, and weapons are important, so I will make you all something that fits your personality.” Cain declared, then began sorting through his bags for random items, so he didn’t have to start from scratch.

“You know what, let’s try it first. Now that you have a System, you should be able to use the weapons as well as you did the armor and get the benefits from them. For Penny, our Druid, a Mace that adds to your healing spells. For Jen, a battle ax and shield, and for Sabbat, a staff that adds Arcane damage.”

None of the items were the very best, but they were all Mythic items, which made Cain feel a bit bad about the crappy staff that he gave to Tena.

“Here, a secondary weapon. Clawed Gauntlets. You should be able to use your staff with them on, and Monks should be focusing on evasion, so their armor doesn’t matter as much.” Cain explained.

Their team was looking much better geared now, and with them all in uniforms, they looked like a real and proper sect already, despite not having a place to call home.

With the bad reputation that Wandering Cultivators seemed to have in this world, he was pretty sure that a wandering Sect wasn’t really a thing, but after they explored for a while, they could find a nice empty spot and tell people that was where they were from.

It might even impress anyone who came looking for them if they couldn’t find the Sect compound at all.

“Now that we have wasted most of a day again, I want everyone to go out to practice your skills together and bring me back dinner,” Cain suggested after he sensed a magical beast moving in the woods.

Between them, they should be able to take it down. Or at the very least, Luna would be able to if she summoned something to help them. It would be like a group bonding activity for the girls.

The five of them jogged off into the woods, in the exact wrong direction, since they didn’t hear the beast, so Cain followed them, using Cloud Dancing with a stick in his hand as a weapon to activate the skill so he could move through the trees silently and not need to summon a flying mount.

The woods were living up to their reputation today though, and they didn’t have to look for long before they found something worth hunting. A level 150 Boar. It wasn’t awakened, so it shouldn’t be much of a fight, but the thing was huge, nearly as tall as Penny’s new wolf form and even before it was cooked, Cain was sure it would taste delicious.

“Alright, I will summon a group of Forest Golems, and they will attack first to take the damage of an angry boar. Penny, you try not to nom the good parts in advance, and the rest of us will all attack. Sound good?” Luna asked.

Penny looked a bit offended that Luna suggested she would eat the pig raw, but in Wolf form, the idea didn’t seem to be a terrible one. The Treant-shaped Golems flickered through the woods, using their vines to advance in a flash of brown and green, surrounding the Boar, who was sniffing at the base of a tree for something.

The Boar attacked, and the golems tried to bind it, holding it in place until Penny could bite at the boar’s throat, causing a cascade of blood to flow out, right before a spell from Sabbat scorched its head and killed the beast instantly.

“That was amazing, it is way above our power level, but with these new skills, we can take it down anyhow. If we keep training until we’re as strong as the average mercenary, we might be almost unstoppable.” Sabbat cheered, admiring her handiwork as Luna ordered the Golems to butcher the boar.

“Good work. I don’t think we have time to smoke or cure it today, but you should have an inventory now, like a storage ring that nobody can take from you. Split up your prize and place it in your inventory, nothing goes bad in there, so you can keep fresh food forever, but your space is limited, so don’t go overboard.” Cain explained.

“This System just keeps getting better and better. Forget getting a real job, I’m a magical cultivator with all the benefits.” Jen giggled, brandishing the sword and shield she didn’t even have a chance to use in this fight.
