Chapter 1: The Summoner from Another World
Chapter 1: The Otherworldly Summoner
On the streets.Busy with traffic, bustling with activity.
A regular black Santana stops by the roadside.
A man in black clothes and sunglasses gets out of the driver's seat.
He takes off his sunglasses, revealing a sharply defined face.
It's noon, and the sun is scorching, steaming up the streets and alleys.
But the man seems unfazed, walking straight ahead.
In front of him is a sun-kissed boy in casual clothes.
The boy's name is Lucas, and he watches the black-clothed man approaching him.
Anger flickers in Lucas's eyes.
"Damn it, was it you, you little weasel, who ambushed me in the wild!?"
This morning, like usual.
Lucas put on his virtual reality helmet and entered the game called YGGDRASIL.
The helmet was expensive, costing almost all of Lucas's savings.
The reason for such an irrational act? He's a transmigrator.
After discovering such a game in this world, he had to play it no matter what.
Just as Lucas expected, there was a newly established guild called Ainz Ooal Gown in the game.
This excited him for quite a while.
Since Ainz Ooal Gown exists, then the Bone King must also be somewhere in this world.
After logging in, Lucas leveled up to 10 and was ready to leave the novice village to join Ainz Ooal Gown.
But then, a jerk suddenly rushed out and killed him without a word.
As a newbie, he had no power to resist.
And the jerk even camped his corpse, killing him again as soon as he revived.
Furious, Lucas challenged him to a duel offline.
And so, this scene unfolded.
Lucas pulled out a brick from behind and smashed it down hard on the jerk.
The jerk, agile, dodged Lucas's attack.
Unexpectedly.
The man in black pulled out a dagger and stabbed Lucas fiercely.
"Thud!"
Blood splattered.
The knife hit Lucas's kidney perfectly.
The man in black, realizing he had killed someone, hurriedly fled the scene.
Leaving Lucas collapsed on the ground, groaning.
Damn, this guy has no honor…
As he lay dying, Lucas muttered to himself.
"confirmed, skill acquired: Mastery of Martial Arts…"
It's just a game, does it have to be this serious…
"Initiating keyword detection, game… Detection failed, would you like to choose a special system…"
After such a difficult transmigration, just to join Ainz Ooal Gown… to establish the Great Tomb of Nazarick, then wouldn't I be invincible…
"Searching for system, Ainz Ooal Gown… Failure…"
"Searching for system, Great Tomb of Nazarick… Success"
"System binding complete!"
Transmigration isn't easy, I can't be reckless anymore…
"confirmed, skill acquired: Ocean Magic (MAX)"
This sun is a bit too hot…
It's also too hot…
"confirmed, heat resistance acquired… Success"
If possible.
I would definitely stay in an air-conditioned room and not come out…
"confirmed, spatial magic acquired… Success"
Ouch!
The pain has lessened, is it because I'm numb now…
"confirmed, pain nullification acquired… Success"
"confirmed, paralysis resistance acquired… Success"
At this moment.
A crowd of onlookers gathered around.
"Look, someone's hurt, is anyone calling 120 (emergency services)?"
"There's so much blood, he's probably beyond saving."
"Hey, young man, are you okay?"
Hearing the noisy voices around him, Lucas felt irritated.
By the time the ambulance arrives, I'll have bled out.
"confirmed, inherent skill acquired: Savior… Success"
I've been wanting to ask.
What exactly is this voice in my head?
It's a bit annoying…
"confirmed, vocal range enhancement acquired… Success"
It must be a hallucination…
"confirmed, special skill acquired: Illusion Magic… Success"
At that moment, Lucas's vision plunged into darkness.
But he still retained his consciousness.
Suddenly, a blue hexagram magic circle appeared beneath him.
The magic circle flashed with intense light, taking the dying Lucas away from the spot.
…
"Hmph! Another summoning failure?"
A cold voice reached Lucas's ears.
Summoning? What summoning?
"confirmed, acquired unique skill: Summoner… Success"
Afterward, Lucas's consciousness fell completely into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time.
He finally woke up, slowly opening his eyes.
Lucas found himself lying on a wooden bed, surrounded by white walls, with only a dim oil lamp lit in the room.
Sitting up, he rubbed his somewhat groggy head.
"Where am I?"
As he spoke, the door suddenly opened.
A gray-haired woman carrying a bowl of porridge-like food walked in.
Seeing Lucas awake, her face immediately became tense.
"You… you're awake?"
"Who are you…?"
Lucas looked around, asking in confusion.
"My name is Shino, I'm a servant in the castle."
Touching his kidney area.
Lucas found himself unharmed.
He sighed in relief, glad his kidney was fine.
"Where is this place?"
"This is the capital of Falmuth Kingdom, you are…"
The lovely girl named Shino began to explain to Lucas why he appeared here.
As Shino explained, Lucas's brows gradually furrowed.
An hour later, the girl took away the empty bowl and left the room.
Lucas got up and walked to the window.
Looking at the bright moonlight outside, he felt conflicted.
He wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad.
He had transmigrated again.
Only this time, he had transmigrated to the otherworldly realm of the TenSura.
Now, the most pressing issue was that Lucas was being controlled.
Because transmigrators like Lucas, when summoned, would undergo modifications by the summoning magic circle.
This means that one would obtain what is called a formidable ability.
As a result, the Falmuth Kingdom conducts a summoning ceremony periodically.
Although the summoning requires 30 mages to prepare over several days.
And after the summoning, these mages will enter a state of magical depletion.
For the next few years, these mages are essentially ordinary people.
The empire will thus suffer a great loss of combat power.
Despite such a significant cost, the kingdom continues tirelessly.
Because among those summoned from other worlds, some possess the power to destroy a nation.
Should such an entity appear, the kingdom could rest easy for a century.
To ensure the otherworlders obey, a curse is woven into the magic circle.
The summoners will be controlled by the curse.
And Lin Ming, at this moment also under control, must find a way to kill the one who holds the curse, to break free from the current situation.
Anshi Rebellion!
