'I should stick to simpler commands from now on. Just one-sentence commands or something. At least until I raise my stamina to C Rank.'
Jason didn't want a situation where he passed out because of stamina depletion. That would be stupid.
Jason was about to get to his feet, but he was suddenly assaulted by two large wolves that started licking his face. Jason laughed as he tried to get them off him, but the wolves didn't relent until he finally ordered them to 'sit'.
The two wolves sat down immediately and Jason sat on the floor with a hand resting on his raised knee. The wolves were looking at him expectantly, like they wanted something from him, and Jason grinned.
"Good boys."
The wolves both yipped happily as their tails began to wag.
The wolf on the left dropped something on the ground in front of Jason, and Jason immediately recognized them as Magic Crystals. The wolves must've taken them from the ones they killed.
The magic crystals glowed with a red aura, and when Jason picked them up, he could feel a significant amount of mana swirling within them! It was obvious that most of the mana in the dead monsters had gathered inside the crystals!
'Something so small, but out in the real world, it'll cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.'
Jason turned to the wolves and spoke quickly.
"Go fetch."
The wolves yipped in joy before going to grab the other magic crystals, and Jason turned his attention toward the two new wolves he killed. Jason knew there had to be something inherently wrong about making the soul of a creature ransack its previous body, but Jason didn't really feel like thinking about it at all! He just ignored the sound of tearing flesh and focused on what he was doing!
Jason looked toward his mana tab and saw that he had [71/110] left. He used up ten mana points to summon the second wolf, but he also gained five mana points from the ten percent boost that the wolf he summoned gave him. That wouldn't have been enough to raise his mana to 71, but he noticed that his mana was rising steadily, meaning he was gradually regaining mana from the surroundings.
'I'm gaining about 1 MP a second, so two minutes should be enough to refill my MP.'
It would be more than enough to summon the other two wolves, so he didn't hesitate as he moved towards the wolves.
He spread his mana out to them and then he spoke.
"Resurrect."
A pulse of mana surged across the forest as the two wolves were pulled out from their bodies.
Just like the others, these wolves were completely obedient as they subserviently came over to Jason for his affection. Jason smiled at them and put his hand on their heads when they lowered it to him.

Jason told the wolves to sit and they joined their two brothers at his heel as they watched him happily. Jason grabbed the two Magic Crystals that the wolves brought and he thought about putting them into the 'Alternate Dimension'. The crystals suddenly vanished from Jason's hand and Jason blinked in surprise at how easy it was.
Jason thought about bringing them back and he was surprised when they reappeared.
'Not bad. At least I won't have to worry about losing them.'
Jason nodded as he sent them into the storage again before finally turning to give his system a proper look.
All of this still seemed like some sort of fever dream as far as Jason was concerned. Only a few minutes ago, he was about to lose his life to these wolves, and now they were so obedient that they seemed like little kids whenever they were around him.
He didn't know what happened to make him Awaken this power and he didn't understand why the system suddenly decided to fuse with him.
But as Jason was thinking, he suddenly caught sight of the necklace that he had been wearing, and he blinked in surprise when he saw that the pendant had lost its purple coloring.
The pendant had been purple with silver vines around it, but now it had a large crack down its middle, and it was just a lackluster white. The silver vines had lost their luster as well, and Jason wondered if this was what caused the changes in him.
'What the hell did you give me, Dad?'
There was no other explanation that made sense to Jason at that moment, so he could only conclude that his father was responsible for the changes in his body. Jason's eyes trailed over the system one more time and he stopped when he came over to the area that was labeled 'Race'.
'10% human?'
Jason's brow furrowed in confusion. What were the question marks and why was it 90% of his genetic make-up? Why wasn't it showing up?
If he was only ten percent human, then what was he!?
Jason put a hand to his face and took in a calming breath to relax. He wasn't going to get any answers by stressing himself here. He had to figure out a way to get out of this place once and for all.
Even though Jason didn't like the Superhumans and their way of life, that didn't mean that he was completely ignorant of what was happening around him.
For the last ten years, the entire world had been changing, and it was obvious that he would hear one or two things from his classmates and news channels about how the superhumans handled the Gates.
From what he remembered, you could only close a gate after killing the Boss within the gate. The Boss was the strongest creature within the Gate, and the Superhumans that had fought them before claimed that they were always protected by a large number of subordinates who would try to keep you away from them.
That meant that if he wanted to get to the boss, Jason would need to fight through a literal horde of Moonlight Wolves.
Jason looked at the four wolves around him and he knew that they wouldn't be enough. Four against an army weren't odds that he was willing to bet on.
But it might be possible to change those odds.
Jason turned to his system once again and his eyes lit up when he looked at the number of Kill Points that he had. From the explanation the system gave him, he needed a hundred kill points to create one upgrade point, and after killing and resurrecting the four wolves, he had 120 kill points.
Jason immediately wondered how he could convert them, and a new tab opened in front of him.
[Will the user like to convert 100 Kill Points to 1 upgrade point? Yes/No]
Jason immediately chose yes, and he watched as his kill points count reduced to 20 and the upgrade point count increased by 1.
Once that was done, Jason turned to the four wolves around him and hummed as he looked them over. It was almost like they could sense his intention as they all gained a serious aura around them to try and draw his attention, but Jason decided that he was going to pick the first wolf he summoned.
"Come out here."
Jason called to the wolf with the long scar running down its left eye and it got up and walked over to him. Jason then looked towards the system tab shining over its head and he willed the upgrade point to move into the wolf.
[Does the user wish to spend [1] upgrade point in order to upgrade the Moonlight Wolf? Yes/No]
Jason chose yes and he watched as a bright light suddenly began shining around the wolf. The wolf's body began to grow taller as it easily passed three meters in height. Its teeth grew sharper and its claws elongated.
The streaks around its body glowed with a brighter aura and its eyes grew to an even darker red.
Once the transformation was finished, Jason couldn't hide his shock.. Right now, the upgraded wolf made the other three wolves look like puppies in front of it.
It was crazy.
