Jake looked at the dragon, he looked around to be sure there was no one and then he spoke, "I'm pretty sure that something of your caliber isn't supposed to be seen in this world, right? So is there a way to like make sure people don't see you?" he asked.
"All you have to do is unsummon me for the time being," the dragon replied.
"Oh? That's nice, but I'll keep you out here for a bit while I figure out more of this whole thing." Jake said and walked to the dragon, he patted its head and then leaped on it, sitting on the forehead.
"There should be a description of you in the system, I wanna see it." As soon as he asked that, the screen changed, showing everything he needed to know about the dragon.

There was a lot for Jake to unpack about what he was seeing there, but he decided to wait a moment and see his own information like the system had asked him to.
"System, show me my stats," he called out.
Here's Jake's clean, simple stat sheet in the same format as the dragon's—easy to copy and paste:

Unlike the dragon, he didn't have a lot going on in his stats, it made him slightly unhappy, but it made sense, after all, the dragon was a legendary creature.
'I have to take my time, learn more about all the details, but I have to find shelter and also know more about this world,' Jake said. He thought for a moment on what his next steps would be and then made a decision.
"Dragon, take me up, really high, I wanna see if there is any towns or village nearby."
"Yes, master," the dragon responded. He got on its feet with Jake on his head and flapped its bone wings, shooting into the sky.
Hair felt as the wind blasted over his body, he couldn't help but smile ear to ear at the fact that he was actually flying right now. The dragon took him high enough he finally spotted a village.
He had thought that the two would be in the direction of the field that he had come from, but he was wrong, that field of grass went on for long until it got to a mountain range.
The small village that he saw was at the other side of the massive forest, which means he would have to head there if he was going to meet any humans.
'I could ask the dragon to fly me there, but that's attention I'm really not ready for, I also need to gather some experience and this forest is the best place.'
"Take me down," he said, and the dragon took him down. He got off the head, looked around for a moment and turned to the dragon.
"It doesn't feel right calling you dragon, I think you need a name. How about Drake?" he asked.
"I would be honored to receive such a name from you, master," Drake replied.
"Cool, then Drake it is. I'll unsummon you for now, I don't want to pull attention."
A magical circle similar to the first one formed under Drake and he went into it.
"Hmm, now that that's out of the way, I have to think of a way forward. I think I have soul shards now, and I can summon undead skeletons, those should be enough for me to get started."
[Summon undead skeletons - 10SS]
[How many undead skeletons would you like to summon]
"Ohh? They are quite cheap, unlike the dragon, then let's get ten for a start."
[Summon slots inadequate to summon ten]
"Oh? So that's what summon slots meant, I only have four slots, I guess even a system like this needs some structure to make sure I don't get whatever I want.
Alright, summon three, since the dragon probably has one."
[Summon slots inadequate to summon three]
"What the hell? I clearly should have three slots," Jake raged.
[Undead dragon carries two slots]
"Oh come on, he is one summon, why should he carry two slots? You know what, I don't care, use the soul shards, summon two undead."
Immediately he said that, two portals side by side formed and two skeletons came from it, both holding a sword and a wooden shield in both hands. They stood there menacingly, as if ready to drag someone's soul to hell. But to Jake, they were simply beautiful.
[Undead Skeleton]
