- Follow protocol," I muttered, not quite understanding the situation. To be honest, I was a pretty ordinary ordinary ordinary soldier and I had never commanded anyone, and I wasn't in the US Army either. So it was the first thing that came to my mind in such a situation.

- Should we take prisoners? - He still asked nervously. Judging by his appearance, he'd never even been in a real battle, you could tell. The owner of my previous body may have been in battles before, if he could become a captain.

- If possible, you know," I said calmly, glancing at him.

- Accepted! - He said, saluting, and left the tent. I realised that I also needed to go out and get a better understanding of the situation. At least scout the current situation. But before that...

- Fucking fucked up," I whispered after reading all this information. I'm even scared that there might even be creatures above level three somewhere. And I'm just going to hope that in my world there won't be anyone above level five, at least level five, or better yet, level eight.

Although in fact with my system I already imagine quite an interesting life, because to collect a harem with such a system is not easy, and you can say too easy. After all, who hasn't dreamed of having a harem, especially of favourite waifu. Well, I have, and I'm not interested in other people's opinions. And with the ability to absorb those I summon, I will also become stronger. Everyone I like will be my servants, friends, and lovers, and the rest will just be my power. It's quite simple.

All right, we don't have to wait too long. It's time to summon my first servant. I don't even know who exactly it will be or what he will be to me. Maybe I'll absorb his power to make myself stronger, or maybe I'll gain a powerful ally who will help me many times over.

System, how do I even have one summoner?

The soul of your body's past owner was absorbed and sacrificed, so you can use it to summon.

That's pretty... cruel. Not only did I steal someone else's body, but I also absorbed their soul. I feel sorry for the guy. Well, I'll take care of his family to repay him for the chance he gave me.

By the way, are there any conditions other than murder to sacrifice your opponent's system?

All you have to do is kill any sentient soul with your own hands, as close to it as possible.

Then things get a little more complicated, but nothing beyond my capabilities. Good thing I don't have to do any rituals or anything. Well, now that I've learnt everything I need to know, I can do the first summoning.

The summoning is done.

The victim's soul is assessed.

A search is made for a suitable summoner...

The summoner is found.

The summoning was successful.

Summoned S.S. from the anime Code Geass.

Power level: 10.

What will you do with her?

Summon/absorb/store her.

Really? On my first try, I've already had some luck. It's safe to say that not only have I summoned my first waifu, but I've also summoned an immortal fighter that can make even me stronger.

I don't even have to choose. Summon her.

A summoning into the character's world is performed.

The character is entered into the universe.

A second after that, a flash of light flashed and a dazzlingly beautiful girl appeared in front of me, looking at me with a slightly confused look.

- Mister? - S.S. looked at me with a questioning expression.

- Do you realise how you came to be here? And do you remember your past? - I asked her.

- Yes. I realise that you are my master. I remember everything that has happened to me before and I realise that. I also realise that this is not my home world," she said calmly, looking at me.

- Ahem, okay. My name is Edmond Kent, and I will now be your master. You can just call me Ed, I hope our working together goes well," I said looking at the girl.

- Mmm, my name is Semilia Sternau. In this world my name is the same. Nice to meet you," she said with a smile, and I was stunned for a second. Not to say I hadn't seen a lot of beautiful women before. But... Semilia is far superior to all of them, so being around her already makes me feel a little strange.

Perhaps it's also influenced by the fact that I've liked her as a character for a very long time. And my feelings were automatically transferred to her, so I'm already starting to feel myself falling in love with her little by little.

- Do you mind if I just call you Semilia? - I asked her.

- I haven't been called that in a long time, but... I don't mind. We're connected now, after all," she said, sitting down on the couch next to me.

- Then Semilia, you can grant me Gias. I'm not sure if you still have that ability, because you're not on your own world," I said, thinking about it. Gias himself depends a lot on the world he exists in, so I don't know if he'll even work here.

- I can. I feel like I'm not connected to the C-world in any way now, and yet all my abilities work and depend on you to some extent. I don't know how best to describe it," Semilia said, looking at me thoughtfully. I thought about it for a while, because apparently all the abilities of my summoned characters are preserved, even if they depend on something that exists only in their worlds. That's quite useful.

- Then please grant me Gias," I said.

- But you know where that would lead. Gias is both a blessing and a curse, and it can cause you a lot of pain," Semilia said, looking at me sympathetically.

- I am well aware of that, but I have no other choice in the current situation. I need to get stronger right away, by any means necessary," I said, clenching my fist. I don't know what kind of world this is yet, but I highly doubt it's an ordinary one. And even so, I'm in a war right now, so I'm going to need any way I can to increase my chance of survival. I understand that as well as anyone, having died in a war once before.

- Then get ready," she said and the symbol on her forehead lit up and I felt something strange, as if something new had appeared in my body. I also felt my new power and recognised what it could do.

- Gias of endless suffering," I muttered, feeling not particularly pleasant. My Gias allowed anyone within a hundred metres of me to feel all the pain I had experienced, amplified a hundred times, in an instant. Some people would be killed instantly by the painful shock, but others might even be able to ignore it.

It's likely that this ability will get stronger and stronger as time goes on, because I'll be in more pain every moment of my life. I've died at least once, and I've been wounded quite often, quite painfully, so I like the power.

Though actually, if I remember correctly, all of Gias' abilities depend on the hidden desires of the wielder. You mean I wanted everyone else to feel my pain? To feel in my shoes and realise what I was going through? Actually, that sounds pretty realistic. Not to say that such a thing was my innermost dream, but in some moments I wanted others to understand what it was like to be in my shoes. In the shoes of a universally rejected orphan who had to go to war just to survive....

But okay, enough of the bad stuff, I'm in a new world, with new opportunities, and maybe I even have... a family? And if I don't, I'll make one myself!

- That sounds pretty... ominous. What can he do? - Semilia said, looking at me.

- It makes the others feel all the pain I've felt in my life, amplified a hundred times," I said, thinking about the possibilities of my new power.

- It's a pretty powerful ability, especially in combat, because most people will be incapacitated for a while at least, if not dead immediately," Semilia said.

- Well, it's about time we knew more about the situation we're in," I said, getting up and heading out of the tent.

- What is our situation? - Semelia asked me perplexed, reminding me that she didn't even know where we were.

- We're at war, sweetheart," I said tiredly, turning to her.

At the same moment, a soldier came into our tent again, but a different one. It was a girl of about twenty-five years old, quite beautiful and by the look of her, obviously more experienced.

- Hey, Ed, you're a bit distracted today, I understand that you've just arrived. But you're already a veteran of the front line, so you need to be more focused," she said, looking at me, but after a second her gaze shifted to Semilia, becoming a little more perplexed.

- And you're... Mmm, Junior Lieutenant Sternau? I heard you just arrived, and apparently you haven't even been issued a uniform. Although your outfit is rather unusual, but that's none of my business. All right, Ed, there's a meeting in my tent in ten minutes. We managed to take a couple of prisoners, so we need to discuss the situation," she said as she left the tent and sent someone to issue Semilia's uniform.

Eh, I guess I'm getting my information on a platter now, but it's for the best. I hope we're not completely fucked....
