[SUMMON YOUR MASCOT]


    [A proper magical girl needs a marketable mascot to accompany her on her adventures! Stay true to your heart and shout, “Summon!” to create the ideal life companion made out of your deepest wishes and your heart’s true colors!]


    Tiara didn’t know what a gimmick was or why it activated, but she did know that every good magical girl had a mascot—a cute cat or bunny who would follow them around and give them life advice whenever they were feeling down. Would she really get one of her own? What would she get? A dog? A bird? She could hardly contain herself as she shouted “SUMMON!” with all her might.


    [SUMMONING IN PROGRESS…]


    Tiara felt all her energy gather near her heart. It made her chest feel burning hot while her limbs felt ice cold. Her vision blurred, and she struggled to breathe properly. It felt like she was being crushed beneath a giant boulder; the pressure was unbearable. The energy coiled tighter and tighter in her chest before being released all at once in a ray of pure darkness.


    [SUMMONING COMPLETE! YOUR IDEAL MASCOT HAS BEEN CREATED WITH YOUR MANA!]


    Tiara collapsed on her knees when the pain finally subsided. She had never experienced that much pain in her entire life, which didn’t mean a whole lot since she had only been alive for 7 years. She told herself that the pain would be worth it for a cute magical critter that obeyed her every command. Ah, she really hoped it was a pony!

    Tiara saw neither a pony, a bunny, nor a kitten in front of her. Instead, a large iron morning star lay by her feet. It was a deep iron color with a dark pink ribbon running up the handle, tied up with a bow where the handle met the mace. This isn’t what she wanted at all! She wanted a critter! Sure, it was really cool, had really cool skills, and was just the right size for her to wield, but it wasn’t a pony!

    “You’re not a pony either,” A deep inhuman voice resounded from the morning star, scaring the absolute shit out of Tiara. The voice sounded unnerving in a sort of ‘evil god’ kinda way, yet it was strangely comforting.


    “That’s because I’m the princess! The princess rides the magical pony! Why didn’t I get a pony!? I can’t even brush your mane or braid your tail!” Tiara whined, instantly accepting the fact that a weapon was speaking to her. Towers were strange places where strange things happened, so it was best not to question it.


    “You can polish my spikes and tie my ribbon instead if you want.” ULTIMATE VIOLENCE tried to compromise. He didn’t know why his magical girl was complaining; he was literally made to be her ideal companion, born from her deepest wishes. It wasn’t his fault that his magical girl wished for blood and guts instead of sparkles and rainbows.


    Tiara didn’t want to admit that polishing razor-sharp spikes sounded like a good time, so she just sat in the corner of the room and pouted. Pouting was one of her killer moves, guaranteed to get her whatever she was begging for. Well, in the outside world, at least. Even Tiara, delusional as she was, knew that there was no way that it would work inside the tower.


    [WHEEL OF WORLDS IS READY TO SPIN]


    Huh, looks like pouting did work this time. The ominous red aura surrounding the giant lottery wheel faded away to reveal thousands of sections that the wheel could land on. Tiara grabbed a hold of ULTIMATE VIOLENCE''S handle and dragged him across the floor when she went to inspect the wheel further.


    The prizes on the wheel ranged from a single loaf of bread to spontaneous combustion. It even had impossible effects, such as bringing a loved one back to life or stopping time for a day. Tiara had to admit that she was nervous. She took an extra glance at her skill to confirm that spinning the wheel wouldn''t turn her into a red stain on the floor.

    [WHEEL OF WORLDS] (SS)


    Spin the wheel of worlds located on your dungeon floor. If used on yourself, a random reward will be granted. If used on a climber, a trial will activate.

    After double and triple checking the skill description, she clenched ULTIMATE VIOLENCE in her hand extra tightly and spun the wheel. A deep mechanical groaning sound filled the throne room as the wheel started turning, followed by what could only be described as carnival music from hell. The wheel spun for a long time before coming to an abrupt stop.


    [CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE WON: MICHAEL HODGE''S WALLET]


    A brown leather wallet unceremoniously popped out of thin air and landed near Tiara''s feet. That was it? Really? It was better than the prize of 200 gallons of seawater that was next to the wallet, but this was still shit.


    “He''s gonna miss his wallet,” ULTIMATE VIOLENCE said in mock concern, finding mild amusement at the thought of this Michael Hodge looking for his wallet forever.


    “This is fucking garbage,” Tiara reconfirmed as she looked through the wallet’s contents. A photo of some ugly kid, a few credit cards, 2 foreign coins, and a crumpled-up receipt. This stuff was worth less than nothing, it was so worthless that it became an inconvenience.


    “Let''s hope we get something better tomorrow,” ULTIMATE VIOLENCE responded optimistically. Statistically speaking, they''d probably get another piece of garbage tomorrow, but ULTIMATE VIOLENCE liked to see the bright side of things.


    —


    Tiara and ULTIMATE VIOLENCE were in the middle of their third encore of ‘99 bottles of beer on the wall’ when a sense of imminent danger overtook them both. Tiara quickly pulled herself up on her feet and hoisted ULTIMATE VIOLENCE over her shoulder, ready to defend herself.


    [INTRUDER ALERT - DEFEND YOUR DUNGEON]


    The door to the throne room was slowly being pried open by sharp, dark red appendages. Loud banging and scratching echoed through the hall as the creature slowly forced itself through the heavy metal doors. Tiara could feel her heart beat a million times a second as the creature got closer to entering. Her world narrowed to focus only on the creature, and the only sound she could hear was the sound of her own breathing.


    Tiara instinctually jumped back when the door finally gave way to the monster. A large abomination of a spider the size of a truck stared at her with nothing but beastial hunger. Despite the poofy princess dress and the heavy weapon on her shoulder, Tiara moved with more grace and purpose than she ever had before.


    [QUEST - ELIMINATE THE CRIMSON SPIDER]


    [QUEST REWARD - RESIDENT SUMMON]


    Oh, it was fucking on. Tiara and ULTIMATE VIOLENCE felt their minds connect as they rushed towards the spider with a thirst for blood. With the cry of a warrior, Tiara swung ULTIMATE VIOLENCE at the head of the spider.
