The Strongest Curse Master

Chapter 6: Toy Summons

> Cursed toybox is merging curse core 'wasp form' with toy 'Dame Wasp'…

> Cursed toybox is animating the toy 'Dame Wasp' as a toy summons…]

'You know what? Having a cyborg spy/assassin for my first toy summon might not be half bad compared to a robot that could morph into a spaceship,' Ace mused while his cursed toybox was animating Dame Wasp. Then he reminisced, 'Dame Wasp is the main character of the science fiction action franchise 'Cyber Craft.' The story revolves around Betty Rose, a talented engineer in a dystopian future city called Roit. Her body dies in a brutal accident, but her brain miraculously survives.'

'Roit International, a powerful corporation, uses Betty Rose's brain to create a human cyborg known as Dame Wasp. It can mimic the ability of a wasp, specializing in stealth and infiltration, to carry out covert missions and gather intelligence.'

'They rope poor Betty into being their spy/assassin, but she ain't having it. That's when things get juicy. The rest of the movie series is all about Betty, or should I say, Dame Wasp, busting loose from Roit International's grip and getting payback.'

> Toymancer can now summon Dame Wasp. ]

"Summon Dame Wasp," Ace excitedly summoned his first-ever toy summons with great anticipation.

With Ace's command, the toy box opened, and a beam of light shot out. In mid-air, it morphed into a 5-inch tall action figure announcing, "Dame Wasp online, awaiting your orders!"

"D-dame wasp?" Ace gulped nervously, locking eyes with the plastic marvel floating before him. Dame Wasp's exoskeleton shimmered as though crafted from genuine metal, and her long french braid gently swayed from side to side, as if alive, similar to a curious cat's tail. As a real-grade model with greater detail, articulation, and more intricate inner frame designs, Dame Wasp was closest to the real thing a 5-inch tall model could be, but now she looks more realistic after being animated by the cursed toybox.

"Yes, master," Dame Wasp replied, retracting the translucent visor into the headgear, revealing her iconic silicone face.

'She can do everything that Dame Wasp did in the movie. She isn't just like Dame Wasp, but she is better,' Ace cheered, reading Dame Wasp's skill on her status screen. Then, scrolling back to her stats, he mused, 'What's durability, enchantment, Individuality, and curse energy consumption?'

Ace noticed that the stats of his toy summons were different from his own, likely due to it being a cursed tool while he was a curse master.

[ — Status screen —

> Durability: A gauge to determine if the toy summons can serve the Toymancer or needs repair.

> Enchantment: A counter to record the number of times the cursed toybox has used a curse core or cursed item to enchant the toy summons.

> Individuality: A gauge to determine if the toy summons has the sentience to execute the Toymancer's orders. If there are identical toy summons in the cursed toybox, then the individuality will be equally divided between all the identical toy summons. Toy summons with low sentience will have a tough time following the Toymancer's orders.

> Curse energy consumption: A gauge to determine the amount of curse energy the Toymancer has to spend to summon his toy summons for an hour.]

"Does this mean I should not animate another Dame Wasp toy summons unless I wanted them both to become too stupid to follow my command," Ace thought aloud, learning how the individuality stats of toy summons worked.

If Ace were to animate another Dame Wasp, the two Dame wasps in his toy space would have fifty sentience each instead of an entire hundred. Both would be equally dumb and less intelligent than the original. The only exception to this rule was if there were identical characters in the toy summon's backstory, like the mass-produced drones and clones in the sci-fi genre.

Knowing that the toy summons before him was as intelligent as the original character in the film series, Ace introduced himself to Dame Wasp, "Betty Rose, I am Ace Lander. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise, Master Ace," Betty Rose said with a gentle smile, appreciating being addressed by her birth name.
