"You know, I didn't even dare to think all this mumbo jumbo would come to be, I merely went to bed after another day of modeling in Blender, and waking up I didn't dare to think that fiction could become reality, Oh boy, was that day all too memorable.. It was when a Kazoo became my favorite instrument."
------
Awakening from my sleep sure has felt different.. Instead of being greeted with the closet in front of my bed like every other average morning, I was met with.. A tree, and what seemed like a few hundred meters behind it, a massive wall, and an absolutely colossal, yet familiar tower stood in the distance..
And all I could do, is stand up, and pinch myself as hard as I could.
"Ouch!.. Fuck me, I guess this isn't some insanely lucid dream.."
Panic was clearly setting in now, Taking another look at that tower confirmed it, I was not at my home anymore, Not on EARTH anymore.. I was fucking Isekai'd to fucking Danmachi of all places, Taking merit in the fact that at least- I'm not in Naruto, DxD, or worse, Dragon ball, God forbid someone like Frieza ACTUALLY exists somewhere..
What am I even supposed to do?! All I have are the clothes on my body.. Which- seemed to also be different- probably for the better, I doubt walking around with modern clothes is a good idea, At least these are comfy, even if they make me look like an NPC.. Brown long sleeve shirt, Long pants with two pockets, a pair of underwear, socks, and boots..
Attention.
"What the fuck?!-"
Integration with host complete, Welcome User Raz to the Plantomancy system.
Panic gave way to a little excitement.. A system? Raz couldn't believe it, as he attempted to calm his trembling hands and finally, saw a shred of hope in an otherwise- hopeless situation, But.. what the hell was Plantomancy? Magical plants? Is he just going to make potions or something?
Attention, User Raz, the system will describe it's basic features, and your new ability.
You are now a Plantomancer, Which means you have access to a Unique magic that will allow you to summon various plants to help you with your journey.
Mana will be used to summon forth plants, Which can fight for you, The types of plants are based around the ones you know from a game you used to favor in your old life, PVZ.
...
Of all things and powers he got- He was.. he was able to summon peashooters and Sunflowers.. Raz felt like crying. Just an image of a peashooter, hell- even a Cob cannon, trying to do ANYTHING to something like the black dragon, much less a goliath was.. Comical, really..
Leaning against the tree as he woke up under, He looked at the greenish blue screen in front of him
"System, What plants am I able to summon? and please show me my stats afterwards."
Plants currently available, Peashooter, Sunflower, Wallnut, Potato mine, Chomper.
Error, User Raz did not join a Familia, Most stats are obscured, There is only two known stats.
Mana : 100.
Mana regeneration : 1 per 3 minutes.
He slapped his hand against his own face, Just a hundred points of mana? That was all he had? He sighed, before reaching his hand out- Feeling absolutely ridicules doing so- and attempted to summon forth a peashooter, The ground before him cracked- As the head of the peashooter popped up- Looking at Raz with those big ol' eyes, before making what sounded like.. a happy kazoo noise, and popping out of the ground!
A part of him wished he could see his own face, as he was simply gawking at the plant he summoned, It was an actual, honest to god peashooter, and not just ANY peashooter, but one from Garden warfare, Raz felt just a little better about himself considering that at-least this little guy- which.. honestly was not so little, standing at around half of Raz's height, 3'0 (or 90cm)
"Okay.. hello there little guy, Can you understand me?"
The peashooter responded with a nod- and another Kazoo noise.
Attention, Communication with plants could be done either via speaking to them, or talking to them telepathically.
Oh, that's better.. With a small nod towards the screen, Raz pointed at another tree some distance away, and commanded the peashooter to fire one pea at it, without hesitation- The peashooter turned his head around and fired.
POW! A single pea left the large cannon-like mouth of the peashooter, flying at speeds Raz deemed absolutely lethal to be in front- and impacted the tree much like an actual, giant green cannonball would, Blowing THROUGH the damn thing, creating a decent sized hole in the middle of the tree.
"Holy SHIT little guy, What WAS that!? It was AWESOME!"
The peashooter merely replied with a happy doot, closing its eyes and raising his head- enjoying the praise given to it by it's master.
Raz felt like he was given some newfound hope, If this was JUST the start..
"Hey system, Actually- I'm going to call you Almanac, or Alma, for short, Are ALL plants from EVERY PVZ game available for me to eventually obtain? Including some famous mods such as the Fusion mod?"
Correct, user Raz, You will indeed have the ability to eventually- acquire a Titan peashooter, With far more devastating power then just your peashooter, More info will be given about summoning now, so please pay attention.
Plants are able to be spawned indefinitely, as long as the maximum cap isn't achieved, and as long as you still have enough Mana to do so, Currently, the maximum cap for plants is 10,
To raise the maximum cap of plants, Various quests are available for you to browse, as well as achievements, and growing stronger.
Do note, Plants will be inherently loyal to you, Yet they are not mere tools, Each plant posses a personality, Two of the same plant however- will posses the same personality, acting as a sort of hivemind. Treat them well, and they will flourish. To that extent, so will you, As your bond with your summoned plants gets stronger, You will acquire various abilities from the plants you grow and tend to, So you will not always have to rely on having one of each plant always active just in case, To raise your bond with a plant, Merely take care of it, and fight with it.
Do note, Each plant is able to give you up to three abilities when the conditions are met.
Try de-summoning Peashooter.
With a little bit of hesitation, Raz held his hand towards the peashooter, Which only nodded at him- as if coercing him to follow the system's tutorial- If it could be called one, before Raz willed the plant to de-summon, Causing peashooter to simply poof into nothingness.
and a few moments after- Raz felt some warmth from within himself, A mental image of Peashooter winking at him before it went dormant.
Now, peashooter has been put into Stasis. A mode that allows your summoned plants to "sleep" while they are not needed, The feeling you felt is Peashooter's bond deepening, It has decided to gift you the first ability of three.
Peashot: For the cost of 1 sun, You are now able to summon forth a pea projectile, and shoot it from the palm of your hand, It is worth noting that by expanding more sun (10x) the power of the pea will rise in a 2x Mult.
And to put it in perspective, On average, if you reach level 2 with your Magic stat up to S. you will already have 1500, If not more- Mana total.
Useful.. If anything comes my way, I can shoot one of these things, I'm sure at least for the start- It will suffice as a self defense surprise attack, Guess I should enter Orario, probably head to the guild and find a familia to stick myself in first and foremost.. Does make me wonder exactly WHEN am I in the timeline..
There is one last thing this system has for you, A starter bag.
A small pouch poofed into being right in front of Raz, making him fumble a little as he caught it- unprepared for the sudden gift, as he opened it- all there was inside was some Valis, Five thousand to be precise- and a knife.. And not just any knife! the design seemed to stem from Monster hunter world.. A carving knife, and a modest backpack. It seemed even Alma was pushing him towards the dungeon.. Which made sense- This place has a lot of issues, And many of them would kill him without any second thought if it would further their goals.
Not to mention this godforsaken city I am about to enter, The city where Gods and Mortals mingle, and where newbies with any sort of talent are devoured by the quickest to act gods, With crazy people like Freya, that has eyes in the Hostess of fertility- that place becomes an instant no-no once he enters the city, Staying under the radar for now- would be the best choice, at least until he finds a familia to enter, and just then- An idea struck him..
Demeter, The Demeter familia would be the one he chooses to enter, considering they're all about farming- He might be able to get his own plot of land there, Perhaps for something like the Zen garden in the actual game- or at least, a place to experiment with creating and using his plants.. Probably not something like Doom shroom, He didn't want to imagine the sheer strength that mushroom would have- considering that just a peashooter could decimate a fully grown tree in a couple of shots, With speed that hopefully low level things couldn't dodge in time.
"Well.. Let's see how this goes.."
Raz muttered to himself as he looked around, amongst the trees and foliage, there was just a dirt path, One he chose to take- hopefully it would lead him to an entry point in the city.
