Chapter 2: The First SummonMilo sat alone in his small dorm room, staring at the glowing screen before him.
[Mech Lord: Grants the ability to summon mechanical constructs. Customization options: Unlimited.]
Unlimited customization. The words sent a thrill through his body. But what did that really mean? Could he build anything? Change existing designs? Modify parts in real time?
Only one way to find out.
He took a deep breath and focused.
Summon.
A surge of energy pulsed through his veins. In front of him, a blue holographic interface appeared, filled with wireframe schematics, part selections, and customization tools. His instincts told him exactly what to do—like he had used this system a thousand times before.
Milo swiped his fingers through the air, scrolling past different mechanical blueprints. Drones, exosuits, battle mechs, even vehicles—there were no restrictions. He selected a basic humanoid mech and pressed "Construct."
A flash of light erupted, and suddenly, standing before him was a sleek, seven-foot-tall mech.
It was humanoid in shape, with a smooth, metallic silver body, glowing blue visor, and streamlined armor plating. Unlike the clunky mechs of sci-fi movies, this one looked alive—agile, built for speed and precision.
Milo's heart raced. He had created this.
Before he could admire it further, another notification popped up.
[Do you wish to customize?]
A grin spread across his face.
Yes.
The interface expanded, showing endless modification options. Weapons, armor plating, mobility enhancements—it was all there. His fingers danced across the screen.
— Material Enhancement: Lightweight Alloy → Nanofiber Composite (Increases durability, decreases weight)
— Power Core: Standard → High-Efficiency Plasma Core (Boosts energy output by 30%)
— Weapon System: None → Arm-mounted Plasma Blasters (Adjustable intensity, rapid-fire mode)
As he finalized his selections, the mech shimmered. Its armor shifted, becoming sleeker and more durable. A pair of plasma cannons formed on its forearms, glowing with contained energy.
Milo exhaled. This wasn't just a summon.
This was his creation.
He clenched his fist.
"If I can do this now… imagine what I can build later."
A Knock on the DoorBefore he could test the mech further, a loud knock echoed through his small room.
"Milo Blaze! You've been summoned to the Awakener Academy!"
His eyes widened.
He had expected attention after his unusual awakening, but this was fast.
Glancing at his mech, he smirked.
"Guess it's time to show the world what I can do."
