I suddenly opened my Inventory, looking at the many item icons and then quickly dragging out the three orbs of the Bosses. They emerged like transparent glass orbs, flowing with colorful energy. It was rather obvious everyone realized what I was about to do, and some reacted a bit too surprised.
“Planta wait you can’t just summon things in the middle of our travels!” Said Titan. “What if they fall off into the floor?”
“I’m sure they won’t. Don’t worry.” I said rather carefreely, unbefitting and fitting of me at the same time.
“Oh, you’re finally using those Boss Drops as well?” Wondered Rita. “How about you give me one huh?” .
“You didn’t got any?” I wondered.
“Nope, I only got the meat scales and other things…” Rita said.
“Yeah, I believe you’re the only one that got them.” Said Titan.
“Ah, now I feel a bit bad. Am I stealing the better drops?” I sighed.
“It’s just that you’re the one with the highest LUK in our party, so it is obvious you’ll get the better results. Nothing to really get yourself worked over.” Titan said. “And we better just stop for now, it’ll just take some minutes, right?”
“Yeah, don’t worry.”
We were already midway through the corridor leading to the Elemental Crystal Caverns and we were going at a rapid pace, taking only five minutes to get up to here. I quickly decided to activate all three orbs together.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The three Orbs glowed with bright light, emanating a powerful magical and almost ethereal essence, as they flew directly into my chest and merged into my body.
For a moment, I felt as if I could see the souls of these Bosses merge within me, awakening from a slumber they had been put into, the orbs were gone, and within my very soul and body, I felt as if I was… also growing stronger? Is this how Soul Orbs are? I didn’t knew I could get stronger as well! Well, the “sensing my soul” part must be some sort of gameplay mechanic, there’s no way I could sense a soul IRL…
“Well done Planta, Soul Orbs are a good and quick way to get new companions and get your little soul a bit stronger!” I suddenly heard the energetic voice of the Great Spirit who had been taking a nap for a while now.
“Eh? Is this your fault? And my Soul’s small?” I wondered, raising an eyebrow.
Ding!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
I opened my eyes wide open as I saw I gained +20 to all stats, which is HUGE, and not only that, but three figures surged from the ground, materializing into beautiful and unexpectedly small creatures.
One resembled a Chicken, but was completely black, from legs to beak to feathers and even its eye. It was rather small and adorable, having the same size as an adult chicken, but he looked quite prideful and arrogant, standing upright, and puffing his chest.
The other was a cute little, purple-colored snake, with two small horns growing from atop her head, and a tail shaped as a trident used in farming, with three sharp spikes. Her eyes shone bright gold in color.
And lastly, there was a small Walking Mushroom standing there, with a sleepy face, blue and purple-colored cap and with several smaller mushrooms growing atop his cap.
Ding!
[You have summoned [Shadow Fighter Chicken]!]
[You have summoned [Farming Assistant Amethyst Snake]!]
[You have summoned [Sleepy Cavern Walking Mushroom]!]
Ooh, there they were! Three new Summons. Now I’ve got… three more slots to summon, one more Farm Animal Companion and another two for Plant Companions. I hope the next Farm Animal Companion is a cow or something… But for now I’ll settle down with these guys.
“Oh my god they’re so cute!” Said Titania, flying towards them.
“Does that… snake has a straw hat?” Asked Titan.
“Yeah she looks straight out of a farm! Of course she’ll have a straw hat.” Said Rita.
Titania flew towards the three summons, as they looked at her curiously. They were all rather small and baby-like compared to their previous incarnations.
“D-Do you remember me? Titania!” She said.
“Gyshi?” The little snake seemed curious but didn’t react in any particular way.
“Gururu…” The Mushroom gave out a cute little sound.
“Coo! Cocooooo!” The chicken began to sing as if it were morning already.
They indeed didn’t remember her, or perhaps were completely different souls, just based in the Bosses and created by the System…
“Ah… they really don’t remember.” She sighed. “Or maybe they aren’t even them to begin with…”
“W-Well…” I sighed. “Maybe they could remember one day?”
“Nah, don’t worry about it. I had just a slight hope but it doesn’t really matter. If they are or not, I am sure they’re better off at your side, Planta. Take good care of them, okay?” Titania entrusted me the incarnations of her friends to me.
“Sure, I’ll take good care of them.” I said, hugging all three of them.
The chicken started using his beak to peek at my face aggressively while the snake started to wrap herself around my neck, lastly, the mushroom suddenly fell asleep over the floor.
They were indeed an odd bunch…
But if they were from Boss Souls, I am sure they got fantastic potential for battle or something else.
Also, I need to decide in their names, and quick.
