CHAPTER 03 MORE GRIND AND THREAT

…..

"Lyx! Fetch!" I said while throwing a stick...

'I mean, I'll do it, but..."

…..

"I'll just wing it."

'You'd better redo this.....'

...

"Ok now for the hunt…"

...….

[Summon [Lyx] has reached Level 15.]

'FINALLY, IT'S DONE!"

LEVELLING IS SLOWER THAN I THOUGHT.

Probably because the EXP is split with the summon.'

"But it's so fun training Lyx!" I said while rubbing the fur of the huge wolf as he wiggling his tail and his tongue was out, he seemed to be enjoying the petting...

'He becomes so much stronger every time he levels up. '

"Lyx, should. Do we go hunt some bears now?

Alright. It's finally time to move on to a new hunting ground!" I asked the cute beast.

"GRR!" Lyx roared as if agreeing with me.

.....

"GRRRRR"

It took some time, but we reached the area where bears could be found, and after some time looking, I found these 4 bears, one of which even roared when he saw us.

[Through increased skill proficiency, [Novice

Summoning] has become Level 2. You have

received 5 skill points.]

After reading the pop-up window, I nodded. As a few more windows popped up...

[You have learned the active skill, [Barbarian

Warrior's Blessing]. You have learned the

passive skill [Novice Tactics].]

[You have earned the title of 'Prodigy of

Alexander the Great]

[By your actions, you have gained the Blessing of

'Goddess Athena' the Goddess of 'Wisdom

and Strategy'.]

Again, reading what I got, it seems my luck is really good. I really got blessings from a goddess; it's just that I don't know what they have done, but I'm sure the effects won't be weak, and I know this because they especially mentioned Wisdom and Strategy.

"GRINDING REALLY IS THE BEST."

Let's see what these skills do.

[[Berserker Warrior's Blessing]

Type: Active Skill Skill Level: 0 Proficiency: 0%

Mana Cost: 150

- Apply Barbarian Warrior's Blessing] to yourself and all party members for 20 minutes, increasing attack power by 30%. - Using it on a summon will increase its effect by 100%.]

"Oh, it's a buff skill. It's pretty good."

Next is... [Novice Tactics]? What's this?

[[Novice Tactics]

Type: Passive Skill Skill Level: 0 Proficiency: 0%

The summoner's Leadership) and [Taming]

[Summoning] [Summon] stats are increased by

10%. -The summon will understand the

summoner's orders better in combat.]

'Oh, if leader- ship is increased by 10%...'

"Alright next…"

[[Prodigy of Alexander the Great]

Grants the 1 plus wisdom points on every five levels, allows the holder to create and execute complex lead 'armies', and grants the user the

'Aura of a King.'

Type: Passive Proficiency: 0%]

Let's see the next even though I know the screen would surely be blank.

[Blessing of 'Goddess Athena'

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]

'And as I thought it is true there are some hidden conditions for me to even know about this blessing and forget about using.'

Well let's forget it, it's a hidden condition. I had to wait and see how it goes…

'I might be able to capture a bear.'

'Let's try capturing them.'

Let's try capturing them.

"Any bears as strong as Lyx here?"

'Again, an OP title in the right hands could be of great use. Plus, the Wis points are the cherry on the cake.'

...…

Time Skip

[CAPTURE]

It worked. My leadership stat has increased a lot thanks to novice tactics!

Let's compare its stats to Lyx's.

"HUH?"

"IS LYX REALLY A WOLF?"

"WHAT'S UP WITH THESE STATS?"

LYX LVL. 15

BEAR LVL. 33

Bear lvl. 33 can't compare to his stat. What the fuck is that? and he is even bigger than a fucking bear, one of the most deadly animals in the world. It's WTF…..

"And this [CAN EVOLVE] part..."

"I wonder when he can evolve?"

"I'll release this bear for now," I said as I released the bears I captured just half an hour ago...

Had a good rest, Lyx? It's time to hunt. I said we both ran towards the bears.

[WIND'S BLESSING]!

[BERSERKER WARRIOR'S BLESSING]!

"Lyx, get that bear's atten- tion!" I said while pointing at the huge bear that looked like a boss bear, even bigger than Lyx.

Just after my words, Lyx charged at the beast. And soon he bites its skull, as blood splashes everywhere. "GRRRAAAH!" "Grrrrr" and the bear roared in pain while he jerked his head hard, which forced Lyx to let him go as Lyx growled back at him...

"GRAW!" "♩ ♫" The bear growled as he wasn't able to land a single hit on Lyx because of its speed, which was even enough to create a mirage copy of him. And he attacked him on both sides while enjoying the bear's frustration.

Slowly, it took small chunks of meat out of the bear, lowering its HP with every attack using its claws, biting, and speed skill "ALRIGHT, KEEP IT UP!"

'This [novice training] skill is really good!

Lyx's perfectly understood the combat style I want!' I thought as I released the arrow. And with swiftness the arrow went through its eye and came out the back of the bear's skull, causing it to plunge into the ground just like before Lyx bit its neck and tore out its throat with all the mussels and windpipe with his sharp teeth, and just like that bear died.

[Congratulations Summon [Ly] has leveled

up to Level 19.]

"ALRIGHT!" I said it out loud with a wide smile.

"GRAWR!" he howled, showing me his sharp teeth that were red from the blood of the bear; his whole mouth was red. He looked very happy.

"Yeah, keep growing. good boy." I said while petting the wolf, which was now bigger than me I'm still curious what creature this wolf will evolve into and how big it will be after crossing levels 60 or 70.

Leveling up through simple hunting is really slow now. Especially if I'm not in truly wild areas where I could get Waifu cards.

I should also level up by doing quests once we reach level 20. I'm sure there won't be any good quests for me to earn a lot EXP but still, they will be better. I would even be able to earn some good rewards, and creatures that were not from a true hunting area wouldn't drop anything... Unless it's a unique or boss monster,...

Again, one more reason to get money out of the pockets of its players: if you want good equipment, you have to pay them or do a sh*t ton of quests so you can reach level 30... generously genius idea...

"That's it for today."

'Phew. Being a game junkie still requires good plan- ning.' thinking that I thought, shrugging as the logout screen appeared in front of me.

...…

Time Skip…

I Should check out the discussion board before I head to bed. I thought while I dried my hair with a towel.

As I just took a shower. I bet there's some loser blowing their horn or dreaming about fucking there Waifu's in the community….

SUMMONER

IS A JOKE!



GETTING EXP IS

SO DAMN SLOW!



SUMMONS AREN'T

EVEN THAT STRONG!

"It's true that level- ing up is quite slow as a summoner."

'But that's a lot of whining.

Are there any reviews from anyone who reached past level 15?'

"WHAT? THERE'S NO ONE?"

I'm level 20.

So there should be many users who got past level 15—but there aren't any.

Oh, there's a level 13. I should check this one out. Isn't he the same guy who was trying to capture that crimson wolf.

Hm. their [CAPTURE], [WIND'S BLESSING], [FIRST AID] seem to be the same as mine…

Huh, what's this? [POSSESSION]? Skill is?

Possession

Type: Active Skill Skill Level: Lvl 1 Proficiency: 55%

-Make one summonable monster's soul

possess the summoner.

-90% of the possessing soul's stats are added to

the summoner's. The possessing monster

cannot be summoned for combat.

WTF, it's OP, and I don't have this skill.

This skill is really good. It's a summoner's bread and butter.

And since this makes it so your EXP isn't split, levelling up is fast.

BUT WHY WOULD YOU POSSESS A SUMMON THAT CAN FIGHT WELL BY ITSELF? IT'S NOT LIKE THE STATS ARE COMPLETELY CONVERTED.

AND YOU CAN'T LEVEL UP YOUR SUMMON IF YOU DO THIS. THAT'S THE MOST FUN PART OF BEING A SUMMONER.

Maybe he knows about the hidden requirements for summoning a Waifu without paying anything, plus, being a summoner does allow you to keep an infinite number of Waifus. The game treats them as your summons rather than their own NPCs. Unlike any other game where you are restricted to a certain number, you can't just enter a dungeon with as many people as you want, but the summoner is only counted as one and Waifu's summons don't count as they're his.

I DON'T HAVE THIS SKILL, BUT I REALLY WANT IT BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO WITH IT IF I HAD SOME GODDESS.

BUT... ARE A REGULAR SUMMONER'S SKILLS DIFFERENT FROM MINE? BECAUSE I AM A HIDDEN CLASS SUMMONER MASTER SUMMONER.

IN ANY CASE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME OR MONEY I WASTED, I'LL STILL BE GETTING THAT SKILL.

AND IF I DON'T GET THE SKILL WITH GRINDING, THEN I'LL JUST BUY THE SKILL BOOK FOR SURE MY RACIAL AND JOB CLASS WOULD ALLOW ME TO BUY AND ADD TO MY SKILLS...

OH YEAH, PLUS THERE'S NOVICE TRAINING!

There isn't much information to work with, but to roughly sum it up,

A master summoner has fewer combat skills than a regular summoner,

Is there any merit in raising the summons to be stronger?

which means I'm training my character correctly!

But I had some problems with "NOVICE TRAINING!" It's like playing with your summoned animals, but the problem is how it would affect my Waifus. After all, they aren't animals and are smart enough to understand what I say without needing any formal training.

So how will it affect them?

Well, let's forget it for now, as I won't know unless I'm level 30, so there is no point in speculation

It might be a good idea to try capturing a rare or unique monster tomorrow.'

"Let's have some sleep for now..."

04:00

AM

It was early morning, and the first thing I did was log into the game.

'I'LL GET LYX UP TO LEVEL 20 BEFORE SUNRISE!' I thought as the system took Irish

scan, and next I opened my eyes and I was in the forest; that was my last location, and Lyx was out of the storage.

"Alright, Lyx! "Let's do this!"

"GRAWRI," Lyx roared as if he were agreeing with me...

[Activated [Wind's Blessing].]

[Activated [Berserker Warrior's Blessing].]

[Activated [Novice Training].]

[Activated: [Prodigy of Alexander the Great].]

[Activating skill [Find Weakness].]

As I took my aim, Lyx ran at the bear in front of us. "GRAAA!" Bear growled as he saw us. "GRRAAWLI" Lyx roared back, and his roar was even louder than the bear's.

And the bear got intimate by freezing in his tracks, which gave Lyx enough time. as he jumped at a bear that was standing on its leg and directly bit it on its neck. "Swiss," and with great speed, my arrow pierced through his heart.

[You have defeated a [Moon Bear]. Received

545 EXP.]

"So quick...! "I hunted here when I was about level 35 as an archer!"

"My hunting speed is much faster than back then!" I said my thoughts out loud...

And just like that, we both hunted down the bears we found in our way. I even captured a few of them again, but I released them back, then I hunted them, and just like before, it granted me the skill to use Appraisal on all types of bears. And soon we came into contact with a whole pack of bears.

"That bear looks bigger than the others." I thought as in the center of the pack of 5 bears I saw a bear that stood on its two legs and looked much bigger than any bear we encountered, and he looked a little bit different than the others...

" Appraisal!"

JET BLACK MOON

MOON BEAR

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAGR!"

"HELL YEAH!!!"

Reading his name in yellow and hearing his powerful roar, I wasn't able to control myself and spoke out loud.

"A UNIQUE MONSTER! THAT'S SICK!

BUT CAN I CAPTURE THAT?"

[Your Leadership is too low to capture.]

'AH, SHIT. I released that bear from last time, but my leader- ship is still lacking.'

'DAMN. Maybe next time, and next time I'm in town, I'm gonna stock up on magic scrolls of binding.' I thought as we both jumped at the bear; after all, it's walking home Exp and if I left it here, either someone would capture it or kill it, which I can't let happen…

"Swiss," as I was falling, I released the arrow, and with a swift moment, the arrow hit him right in the center of his chest. My target was his heart, but because he saw the income arrow, he moved just a little bit right.

"GRAAA!" The bear growled in pain and anger as its claws came out shining with red light, maybe showing some kind of skill.

He was fast, much faster for its size and strength, nearly as fast as Lyx, which says something as Lyx is pretty fast. But Lyx was still able to hold him with speed and skills as his teeth sank into the hand that he swung to strike him with.

As the next second bear got shocked with Lyx's skill "Thunder Fang,"... But the bear shook the paralysis off its body and moved his other hand, trying to strike Lyx, which forced Lyx to let go of the hand of the moon bear.

"Now that Lyx fights almost as well as

I do; a level 38 monster isn't a problem.'

"Boom" as the bear tried to strike him again, but Lyx used its speed to completely evade the attack. His strike had so much power that it broke the ground.

'GRAAAARGH!' Bear roared in anger as I saw it slowing down, which meant the poison arrow was working.

And seeing the bear slowing down, Lyx saw his chance and jumped on it as it bit the right side of its neck and before the bear could even scream or struggle it shocked the hell out of him using Thunder Fang…

[Congratulations summon [Lyx] has levelled up

to Level 20]

"Alright! level 20!!!"

Now the game would get way harder than before, as it was going to try its best to stop me from growing, reaching level 30, and getting my waifu.

But I won't let this hold me back. I will get my Waifus for Waifus, and I will do anything, even if it forces me to gain alignment towards extreme evil. I will do it for Waifu's…

YOU CAN ONLY PLAY "LUSTFUL DESIRE OF THE NEW WORLD." PROPERLY AFTER YOU'RE LEVEL 20. And you can only hope to get any Waifus after you cross Level 30.

As they really want players to grind like no one's business and then give them the best of the game. Following the simple quote, "The suffering makes the meat taste better."

APART FROM GUILD REGISTRATION, INSTANCE SAFE DUNGEONS, EMPIRE QUESTS, AND THE LOT, ALL REQUIRE LEVEL 20.

SO IT FEELS LIKE PLAYERS WERE DOING SOMETHING...

Let's see what items I got.

[RECEIVED [MOON BEAR MEAT].]

[RECEIVED [BEAR HUNTER'S

WARHAMMER].]

[RECEIVED [JET BLACK NECKLACE].]

OH, I've never seen this item before. I should use an identification scroll.

[APPRAISE]! I said these words, and a new window popped up, and I started to read.

[[Jet Black Necklace]

Durability: 124/124. Type Necklace

Option Vitality +15%. Tear Unique

All skills cooldown. Item Requirement

reduction 20%. 35 Intelligence

A necklace of unknown origin.

Created with obsidian as dark as the

abyss. It looks incredibly valuable.]

"I got a pretty good necklace from the auction house,

But this is way better!

My first good loot since resetting!" I said it with a wide smile on my face. After all, I now know GM is not as greedy and heartless as I first thought of them.

'I have no complaints on the item side...

Let's see how much Lyx's stats have increased.

Attack increased by 4, defence by 2, agility...

'What's this? Do monsters become exponentially stronger as they level up?'

'No, that doesn't make sense.'

"There's no pattern to its growth rate. Surely they didn't make it random, right?

'I'm gonna find out what's going on here.

This is it! POTENTIAL!

THE SECRET IS IN THE POTENTIAL STAT!

The novice training skill increased Lyx's potential.

Every time the potential stat increases by 10, the growth rate of the stats increases!

I was right. The hidden class also has its own unique skills!

All monsters have their own potential stat,

and it deter- mines their stat growth rate when levelling up.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE MONSTER'S CLASS ITSELF INCREASES WITH ITS POTENTIAL.

AND THE 'TRAINING' SKILL IS WHAT RAISES IT!

I'm gonna spend all my remaining skill points on training!'

[Spending all skill points in [Novice Training].]

[[Novice Training]] has become Level 5 and

turned into [Intermediate Training].]

Reading the pop-up window I nodded that this was good as I clicked to know more information.

[ [Intermediate Training]

Type: Active Skill Skill Level: Lvl 0

Proficiency: 0%

Cooldown Time: 25 Minutes

- Select one summon to receive the Training)

status for 15 minutes.

-The summon with the (Training) status will

understand its summoner's orders better.

-The summon's potential will increase with

repeated [Training].

-The increase to Potential will scale with the

level of the skill (Intermediate Training).]

"Thank goodness I saved my skill points instead of capturing that bear!"

'Feels great to figure out some of that mystery.

So Lyx's potential is at 94 right now, huh? I should be able to get it to 100 soon.'

as I looked at the red window.

Damn, I spent nearly an hour there.'

"10:05"

"I need to get more experience quickly."

And just like that, I spent the next few hours hunting...

'I'm sure if I had spent the same effort on studying, I'd have probably become a lawyer or a doctor by now.

Well, there's no point thinking about that though.' I thought while eating the sandwich that I just made. As set in front of my computer

'OH, a video of the dark sorcerer!' let's see..

I thought as I played the video and saw an old man dressed in dark raiment with a staff in his hands casting dark magic through a magic circle that looked much bigger and darker than mine.

As more than five skeletons stood in front of him with swords and shields in their hands. Not gonna lie, the skeletons are kind of cute.

But I'm sure by now his Alignment should be pretty low, if not in the negative...

'Huh? I don't have anyone who'd call me…' I thought as I saw my phone was ringing.

Picking up.. I saw that it was an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hello, am I speaking to Mr. John Paul?" I heard a feminine voice from the other side.

"Yes"

"My name is Samantha, teaching assistant at a U.S. university's virtual reality department."

"Oh. Hello, miss." I said it in a polite tone while I felt my fear catching up to me...

"HI. "You know Professor Lee Wook, yes?" Asked the lady...

"He has asked you to call him." She said,

"Call...? "May I ask why?" I asked, but in reality, I knew why...

"I believe it's because of your grades." She answered, which I knew... But my mind didn't stop here...

'COULD IT BE...

ACADEMIC PROBATION?!' I thought, while in despair...

"MISS."

"YES?"

"What would happen if I didn't call the professor?" I said while trying to keep this as far as possible...

"He said he'd mail your grades to your address."

"And of course, we don't mean the address of your personal flat."

'Fuck just thinking about if my dad looks at my grades... It would be hell, and he won't care what I did in the last few years if he had those grades.' I thought, and thinking about his face, I was sweating bullets.

'I might be forced to go back to the peak of my youth!' and he would become Darth Vader

"Lady, you don't have to go that far. I'll... call him." I said while ignoring evil laughs from the background.

"Hoho, good idea. Then I'll see you next semester, Mister John." She said with an evil laugh... as the call was disconnected, I sigh while feeling a new headache coming on.

'I should call him. "Where's his number?" I thought while looking for his number...

After finding it, I dialed the number, and in a second, the call connected.

"Hello, this is Mr. Lee Wook."

"Hello, sir."

"This is John Paul. I heard you were looking for me...

"John Paul? "Oh right, the new student." The answer came from the other side of the phone.

"Yes. I was wondering what you needed." I asked him.

"You really don't know?" He asked me with a suspicious voice. "Is it because of my grades?" I asked him.

"Yes. "Is everything okay with you?" He asked, and I didn't know how to answer him.

"Why aren't you participating in department activities at all?" he asked again. "And how are you getting academic probation in the first semester already?"

"Academic probation? isn't that for getting three F's? I should only have two." I asked him.

"Correct. so I was thinking of giving you that third F."

'HE'S THREATENING ME! WHAT THE HELL DOES HE WANT FROM ME?! ", were my thoughts...

"What should I do, sir...?" I asked him in a very respectful voice.

"First, tell me why you haven't been participating in department activities." He asked me.

'Ugh, I can't tell him it's because I was too busy playing games." What should I say?

OKAY, YOU GOT IT!'

"Sir, you see, the reason why I chose the virtual reality major

Is because I admire the unlimited potential of virtual realities." I said while taking the time to put the point forward...

So ?

One of the reasons why virtual reality is the center of attraction in the whole world right now is because of the game 'Lustful Desire of the New World', right?"

↑

"RIGHT." I told him straight away...

"So I thought I had to beard the lion in his den by playing the game." I said as I waited for his angry words.

"So you're saying you haven't been coming to college because you're too busy playing video games all day?" He asked me with a firm voice.

"It's not just for the sake of playing games, sir. I wanted to study the incredibly realistic, incredibly realistic virtual world.

that is in 'Lustful Desire of the New World." I told him.

"So what is your level?"

"...SORRY?" I asked as I didn't understand why he was asking for...

"I asked what your level is." He asked me again. "If you were working that hard, you should at least be on the USA's top leaderboards, right?" He asked me.
