[Moving to the original location.]
Pabat!-
Returning to the guild hideout along with the message window, I could see Aizen heading somewhere right away. I guess he went to report the quest. And since Aizen was gone, there was no reason for me to stay here any longer.
‘Anyway, I’m in a dilemma.’
What should I do today?
It’s not that I don’t have anything to do. I had to raise my crafting skill, and I had to work on the Random Skillbook, so you could say I had a lot to do. However, I wasn’t confident that I could finish either of them within today.
‘If I finish the Random Skillbook work during this connection time, it might be possible.’
Well, thinking that it’s better to move than to worry like this, I decided to leave.
“Then I’ll be going.”
“Yes? Where are you going? If you don’t mind, maybe we can hunt together later……”
“No, I’m used to being alone.”
Heron looked disappointed at my answer, but it was only Heron who felt that way. The others showed an attitude of not caring whether I left or not.
Is it because I didn’t do well in the battle just now?
Anyway, I left the guild hideout after rejecting Heron’s offer. When I came out, I saw that the guild hideout was a large two-story mansion.
‘They didn’t buy this with money, did they?’
How much would it cost if they did? After looking at the mansion for a moment, I walked to a place where there were few people.
[You have acquired 5 gold as a quest completion reward.]
[You have acquired ‘Magic Box’ as a quest completion reward.]
[Fame has increased by 110.]
“……5 gold?”
A message window suddenly appeared. Aizen must have reported the quest because the message window said I had acquired 5 gold. As expected of a D-rank quest? Considering that the cost to receive a D-rank quest is 1 gold, it was almost a 5 times profit.
‘It’s more than that considering the other rewards and fame.’
In addition, since it wasn’t a quest I received, there was no expenditure of 1 gold either.
“Then my current balance is……”
[22 gold 75 silver 21 copper]
“Wow~”
When did I make this much money? The quest I did with Raz yesterday, the Bamut Cult quest, and finally the quest I did with Aizen today seemed to have accumulated this much money. You could say that making money is easier than I thought, but if you look closely, it’s not.
Because no matter how many normal monsters you kill, you won’t get a single penny.
Considering that the only ways to make money are by hunting boss monsters or through NPC quests and guild quests, making money isn’t that easy.
“But what is a Magic Box?”
Curious, I took out the box-shaped item from the item window. It was a box with a ribbon, like a gift box.
“Hmm.”
[Magic Box] (Magic)
Description: A box that you don’t know what’s inside until you open it. From equipment to potions, recipes, and materials, anything can come out, but the grade is fixed as Magic.
━Acquire random Magic-grade items.
‘Oh? This is where Intuition comes in, right?’
Since it’s fixed as Magic grade, I should be able to choose the rest as I wish. What should I choose? While checking the equipment I was wearing one by one with that thought, I suddenly saw the four rings on my left hand.
[Silver Ring] (Normal)
Description: A ring made of silver. It’s a ring of priests who believed that the sacred power inherent in silver would protect them from darkness.
Durability: 14/25
Among them, the remaining 3 rings, excluding the Blue Aura Stone Ring, are these Silver Rings.
” It’s definitely time for a change. ”
If things went well, my Magic Power might increase even more.
With that thought, I left the party. Then, after finding a secluded spot, I decided to open the box right away.
” Come on, ring, appear. Ring, ring, ring. ”
Intuition activated as expected. And perhaps because the weight was heavily on equipment, the ring appeared in less than 10 tries. I knew the ring would come out of this box through Intuition and opened it right away.
[Ding!~ You have acquired the ‘ Ring of the Flower of Life ‘.]
[Ring of the Flower of Life] (Magic)
Description: A ring made by weaving the Laina flower, which possesses the energy of life. The life energy contained within the flower is transmitted through its fragrance, providing significant benefits to the wearer’s body.
Durability: 40/40
*Health regeneration rate 2 per second.
” Fortunately, I can equip it. ”
Moreover, the options were quite impressive. A ring that increases Stamina and Magic Power? I was surprised because I didn’t expect such a ring to appear.
” But it would have been nice if it had Magic Power recovery speed. ”
If it had Magic Power recovery speed instead of Health, it would recover 3 per second. In other words, it would mean recovering 180 Magic Power per minute, so I couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
Anyway.
‘Now, shall I open the Random Skillbook?’
With that thought, I replaced the Silver Ring I was wearing with the Flower Ring and decided to start working on the Random Skillbook.
[Do you want to open the Skillbook? Skills will be learned automatically when opened.]
‘This is a failure.’
Perhaps because I’ve used Intuition a lot, I didn’t need to close my eyes and concentrate like before. It feels natural, you could say? It’s a subtle change, but it still means my Intuition has changed.
[Do you want to open the Skillbook? Skills will be learned automatically when opened.]
‘This is a failure.’
Opening it again.
[Do you want to open the Skillbook? Skills will be learned automatically when opened.]
‘This is also a failure.’
Another change was that the vague anxiety I used to feel was now being accepted nonchalantly. Or maybe I just got used to it. Anyway, the anxiety didn’t affect me much now.
Rather, it’s more certain because I can feel the anxiety strongly, right? I can’t make an accurate judgment yet, but I felt like I could roughly know what rank would appear based on the intensity of the anxiety I’m feeling now.
[Do you want to open the Skillbook? Skills will be learned automatically when opened.]
The anxiety I feel now is a little less than before.
I thought at least an E-rank skill or higher would appear.
……Probably.
‘But pass.’
What I need now is an S-rank skill. There was a way to check if my prediction was correct by opening it, but I didn’t want to waste the Random Skillbook like that.
[Do you want to open the Skillbook? Skills will be learned automatically when opened.]
” ……Huh? ”
Suddenly, I felt a refreshing sensation as if my chest was wide open. It was the sensation I had been longing for, but I was actually dumbfounded.
Why did it come out so quickly?
It appeared exactly on the 5th try. I’ve never had a skill appear this quickly since I started Twilight, so I became suspicious. But the feeling I felt didn’t lie.
I’ll know if I try it.
[S-rank Skill. You have acquired ‘ Karzel’s Card Summoning ‘.]
[Your stats increase as you acquire the skill.]
[Magic Power increases by 10.]
[Ding!~ A new stat ‘ Summoning ‘ has been created. Summoning is knowledge and understanding of Summoning-related skills. The higher the Summoning stat, the greater the effect of Summoning-related skills.]
[Summoning increases by 10.]
” Summoning? ”
No, it’s good that I got an S-rank skill, but of all things, Summoning?
Is Summoning referring to the Summoning that the Dawn’s Light Master used a few days ago? I naturally recalled the A-rank Bear she summoned. It was definitely strong.
Besides, this is an S-rank skill, so……
” I wonder if it’s somewhat useful? ”
Thinking back to the case of the A-rank Bear, it was enough to handle one person’s role. So wouldn’t an S-rank Summoning be even better? Maybe if I use it appropriately, I could hold back one or two monsters.
‘It feels like I’m becoming a jack-of-all-trades character.’
Crafting, Defense, Movement, and now Summoning.
It definitely felt like a jack-of-all-trades character to anyone, but I decided to be satisfied with the fact that I got an S-rank skill. Thinking about Jayer’s Guardian Shield or Phantom Shift, S-rank has never disappointed me.
” Anyway, confirmation. ”
[S-rank Karzel’s Card Summoning Effect] (LV1)
━All Defense reduced by 50% during sealing.
━No action possible during sealing.
━No healing magic possible during sealing.
━Subject receives fierce attacks during sealing.
━Sealing time 60 seconds.
*Magic Power consumption 300 when sealing.
*Stamina consumption 10% when sealing.
━Increases the target’s level by 1 when summoned.
━Increases all stats of the target by 5% when summoned.
━Duration 60 seconds when summoned.
*Magic Power consumption 600 when summoned.
*Stamina consumption 20% when summoned.
” ……What is this? ”
Sealing? What am I supposed to seal? Unlike the complicated sealing, summoning was quite simple. Level increase by 1 and duration of 1 minute. How simple is that? Anyway, just reading the description, it seemed like I had to seal it myself and use it.
‘Am I really supposed to seal a monster?’
The doubt was short-lived. I thought it would be better to go outside the village and use it rather than keep pondering, so I immediately started walking.
And I could see that there were still many players outside the village.
‘It’s been a week since the game started, but there are still a lot of people.’
Are they players who just started? Somehow, the number keeps increasing instead of decreasing. Even if they start now, most of the dungeons are occupied by guilds, so it would be difficult to do anything properly.
‘Well, it has nothing to do with me.’
I look for a Pudding that is leisurely playing around. However, it wasn’t easy to find one because there were so many people. Still, I kept walking around and found a Pudding playing alone, and I immediately used the skill.
” Karzel’s Card Summoning. ”
Pat-
As I used the skill, a card appeared in my hand. What am I supposed to do with this card? I tried waving it around, but the card didn’t react at all.
” Should I try attaching the card to the Pudding? ”
Just in case, I tried attaching the card to the Pudding.
[Attempting card sealing.]
[All Defense reduced by 50%.]
[Movement restricted.]
Wung Wung-
” Oh? It works. ”
The moment I attached the card to the Pudding’s body, light emanated from the card. So this is how you do it. Besides, since the sealing time is 1 minute, do I have to stay still like this?
” Pudding! Pudding! ”
Suddenly, the Pudding, which was being sealed, started attacking me like crazy. Thanks to that, the card fell off the Pudding’s body, but it didn’t seem like it failed because the light kept appearing.
‘It said it would receive fierce attacks during sealing……’
[Overwhelming Defense! You take no damage!]
Of course, no damage comes through. No matter how much my Defense is halved, there’s no way I would take damage from a Pudding. So I leisurely endured the attacks of the Pudding, which only reached my knees, for 1 minute. When the 1 minute passed, light emanated from the Pudding’s body and it was sucked into the card I was holding.
[Sealing successful.]
[To use the sealed summoned beast, hold the card and say the command ‘ Summon ‘.]
” So it’s like this. ”
I glanced at the card. The card had a picture of a Pudding on it. So I can summon it with this?
” Summon. ”
Just in case, this card might be single-use. If it’s not single-use, it can be summoned permanently several times. To check that, I held the card and tried summoning, but strangely, the card didn’t react at all.
‘The message window clearly said to say Summon?’
I thought something was strange, and then I realized that my body couldn’t move.
No way……
” Oh great will that governs body and soul. ”
Damn it, was this it after all? Elsyke’s Phantom Shift worked fine, though.
” I call upon that great will that pierces even the essence of life to this place. ”
I feel the gazes of some people around me. There were already many players hunting Puddings here, but now they were looking at me with the expression, ‘ What is he doing? ‘
” Appear before me now, in accordance with my call! ”
[Summoning Pudding.]
[The summoned beast’s level increases by 1.]
[All stats of the summoned beast increase by 5%.]
[Related stat Summoning (10) is applied.]
[All stats of Pudding increase by 5. Health and Magic Power increase by 50 each.]
” …… ”
After that whole ordeal, as expected, the Pudding appeared. In addition, I could hear the mocking laughter of some players who had been watching that ordeal.
” What is that? ”
” I don’t know, is he a chuunibyou? ”
‘Damn it, what a sight this is.’
[You have reenacted the legendary summoning technique, Karzel’s Card Summoning. The technique of Karzel, who reached the pinnacle in the field of summoning. His technique, which left a mark on history as a summoner, cannot be denied to be greater than any other mystery.]
[You have acquired the title ‘ Soul Contract ‘. Would you like to equip it?]
