"Absolutely!" I pressed Yes, and suddenly, three skeletons burst forth from the ground, each holding a sword and sporting fierce looks. The skeleton warriors size was just about the same as an adult human. And I couldn't contain my excitement—I can summon an army of skeleton!
With this power I can see hope of us getting out alive
//===

===\\
As my first command "Take down any goblins approaching us!" I commanded. The skeletons sprang into action, scattering to fend off the goblin horde. I quickly ran over to check on my father.
"Father, are you alright?" I asked, worry evident in my voice.
"Yes, son. Thank you," he replied as I helped him to his feet. "Where's the little girl?" he asked
"I'm not sure. She must have fled when the Goblin Chief charged at us," I said.
Just then, another screen popped up:

Wait, what?! They killed that many goblins in such a short amount of time?!
Suddenly, the Goblin Chief let out a terrifying roar as it fought the injured man.
"Let's go, Azrael! We need to leave, now!" my father urged.
"But Dad, that man is sacrificing himself for us! We can't just leave him!" I protested.
"No, we should—" He stopped mid-sentence, raising his spear. "Get behind me, Azrael!" he shouted, startled by the presence of my skeletons warriors.
"No, Dad! They're allies!" I exclaimed.
"What? What do you mean by that?" His confusion was clear.
"I summoned them! I have magic now!" I said with a proud smile.
"Summoned? What?! I never heard anything about that?! Since when?" he asked in disbelief.
"Just a while ago, while fighting those goblins" I explained.As then I pointed to one of my skeleton. "You—take my dad to safety!"
"Wait, no, don't!" my father protested, but it was too late. The skeleton grabbed him to carry it on it's back my dad struggled "AZRAEL, PUT ME DOWN!"as he yell.
"I'm sorry, Dad! I just want you to be safe!" I say to him.
My skeleton troop and dad dashed off leading my dad to safety
I called for the system trough my mind and it popped up in front of me again.

The fight continued fiercely as the Goblin Chief delivered a powerful punch to the man, sending him flying until he crashed into a tree, blood spurting from his mouth. The ground shook as the Chief roared in triumph. The man lay still, badly wounded.
Just as the Chief moved in for the kill, my skeletons leaped into action, slashing at its back.
"GRAAAH!" The Goblin Chief howled in pain. Another skeleton lunged forward and stabbed the Chief in the chest. In retaliation, the Chief swung a brutal punch sending it fly, but to my surprise the skeleton didn't break.
Then, a notification flashed:
//===
System Notice:
Skeleton Warriors are immune to blunt/physical attacks.
===\
"Whoa, they're immune to physical attacks? That's so overpowered!" I exclaimed. I commanded three of my skeletons to deal with the smaller goblins while the remaining five focused on the Chief. One skeleton assisted the injured man, pulling him out of danger.
The skeleton warriors coordinated their attacks flawlessly. Two slashed at the Goblin Chief's back while the other three engaged from the front. The Goblin Chief groaned in pain and dropped to its knees. One skeleton advanced and, with a swift motion of it's blade beheading the Chief, its head rolling to the ground.

Meanwhile on a nearby watchtower...
The little girl was panting, running as fast as she could, screaming for help.
"Help! Someone, please! There are people being attacked by monsters in the woods!"
A guard approached her. "Little girl, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Sir, please help the people who are still in the forest—they're being attacked by a Goblin Chief," she said, her voice trembling, eyes filled with fear.
"A Goblin Chief?!" The guard's eyes went wide in shock. "I'll alert the others immediately!" he said, quickly sending a message to nearby stations, calling for backup at his position.
As the guard called for backup, he noticed a figure coming from the forest. He squinted to get a better look and gasped in shock. Quickly, he drew his sword and raised it, getting ready for a fight.
"Get behind me! A monster is coming!" he shouted as the figure got clearer.
A-a SKELETON?! he thought, feeling confused when he saw a man being carried on its back.
When the skeleton got closer, the guard hesitated to attack. The skeleton lowered Azrael's father gently, completely ignoring the guard with his sword raised.
The guard stood frozen in place, utterly confused, while the little girl stayed behind him, equally frightened by the strange monster. The skeleton immediately stood up and turned its back, fully ignoring the guard, before running back into the forest.
Right after the skeleton left the little girl ran towards Azrael's father "Sir, sir, are you okay? where are the others?"Little girl asked but got no response "Guard please help this man he's wounded very badly" the little girl pleaded
"Huh? Ah, okay, okay. Let me assist you, sir. You have quite a deep stab wound on your right side," the guard replied, trying to help Azrael's father.
Azrael's father grabbed the guard's hand, desperation filling his eyes. "Sir, my son is still in the forest. Please help him!" he urged, choking back tears.
Just then, other guards who was called for backup, arrived.
"What's happening?" asked one of the newly arrived guards.
"We need to rescue someone in the forest who's being attacked by a goblin chief," the guard explained.
"What?! B-but sir, a goblin chief is too dangerous for us! We can't risk our lives for that, and it's already nighttime. We don't know what other monsters might be lurking out there or we might encounter" protested another guard.
The little girl, with an intense look of desperation, interrupted. "Please, you don't understand! He saved me from the goblins! We have to help him!" she pleaded, tugging at the guard's sleeve with trembling hands.
The guard who had assisted Azrael's father looked conflicted. "I'm sorry, little girl, but we can't take that risk. My troops are rejecting your request."
In a final effort to gain their support, the little girl stood tall and pulled an insignia from her pocket. "I, Elise D. Marquiz, 1st Princess of the Marquiz clan, command you to search for the two remaining people who were with me in the forest."
The guards gasped at the sight of the insignia. "The 1st Princess of the Marquiz clan?—but what are you doing here?" one guard exclaimed, shock evident in his voice.
"That is not what's important right now! You need to hurry into the forest and rescue them!" the little girl who's the self-proclaimed 1st princess of a noble family said.
"Right. We are sorry for our incompetence, Your Grace," he said, kneeling in apology. "We will do our best to rescue the two people trapped in the forest."
He stood up and said, "Let's go," to his companions. Then they hurried into the forest.
Going back to Azrael…
"Let's see… summoning the goblin chief will cost five slots for my summons," Azrael said.
//====
Summon goblin chief.?
Yes or No?
===\\
Azrael pressed "Yes," when suddenly, a skeletom burst forth from the ground, different from what he summomed earlier as he don't have any weapon but It was three times larger than the skeleton warriors
//===
System Notice:
You summonned a goblin chief skeleton named
"Chief of the warriors"
Summoned Troops:15
Max:20
The goblin chief soul has been deducted from your inventory
===\\
After that, the summoned goblin chief stared at Azrael for a long time.
Azrael was puzzled and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, the summoned goblin chief knelt down. When the goblin chief knelt, the skeleton warriors followed suit and knelt as well.
"Stand up," Azrael commanded, and his followers complied.
Azrael didn't know what to do with them; there were too many. What if the villagers saw them? They would be terrified, and it could bring harm to Azrael's family.
Azrael opened the system again and searched something, and found…
//====
Unsummon troops in Action?
Yes or No
===\\
Azrael pressed "Yes," and another message appeared.
//===
Note: One of your skeletons is still doing a task somewhere would you like to Unsummon it too?
Yes or No
===\\
"Ahh, my other skeleton must still be carrying the guy who was with us," Azrael thought, so he pressed "No."
After that, it was as if the skeletons were just holograms that vanished into thin air
//====
Troops successfully Unsummonned
Goblin chief soul successfully added to you inventory x1
Goblin souls successfully added to your inventory×10

"Whoa, they're gone," Azrael said, astonished by what was happening.
"Can I summon them again, though?"
//===
Would you like to summon troops?
Please choose who you would like to summon:
Goblin chief soul x1
Goblin souls x43
===\\
"Oh, I guess I can summon them again with no cooldowns," Azrael said as he explored the system window.
He suddenly felt that something was approaching, which made him alert.
"Hello, anyone there?" a human voice called out.
Azrael quickly went to investigate and soon saw the guards searching for him.
"Hello, sir, it's me," Azrael said, approaching the guards.
The guard who spoke paused.
"A young boy?" he thought to himself.
"Are you one of the people attacked by the goblins?" the guard asked.
"Yes, I am. How is my father?" Azrael inquired.
But the guard didn't answer that question and added another instead.
"Wasn't there a goblin chief that attacked you? Where is it?" the guard asked.
Unable to think of a reason, Azrael lied.
"When it was chasing us, it suddenly stopped, as if it were scared, and retreated with the smaller goblins before leaving," Azrael fabricated.
"What? If that's the case, there might be an even more dangerous monster nearby. But weren't there two of you? Where is the other one?" the guard questioned.
"He left already, and I'm sure he's safe from danger," Azrael said.
"Let's go. We might be caught by a more dangerous monster here," the guard urged.
They left without further suspicion.
