I haven''t introduced myself properly I''m Ender Yamashita, High school junior, and I am a proud otaku and gamer, I balance my studying and games so that I can get a high grade every time, and that''s how I live my life, I live a perfect average teen life, but right now I''m rushing to the library for a book review for my project.

    *Pants

    *pants

    "Hey! You''re late where were you Ender-ton?" "Hey! Ender-Kun you''re so late we planned on leaving the library to play some games!" Oh, sorry I woke up late and I ran as fast as I can...Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

    These are my friends Anthony Shira, a high school junior, and an otaku to the heart.

    And Yuna Tamagi also a high school junior, and a proud gamer and otaku, we were best friends since we were young and graduated together as a group.

    "Hey, Ender-Kun did you hear about the new game that has been released?" Was it the new MMORPG title "Yes! That one with a lot of classes, it''s so cool" Ohh... I already bought that one yesterday, "Whhaaaa... You bought it without telling us, we were supposed to buy it together and play it at home, your such a meanie Ender-Kun...Hmph..." Hey, it''s not my fault I wanted to buy a game I waited for... besides I haven''t started on anything yet, "hey you two are we doing the book report or what? We need it to graduate you know!" "Fine let''s do it, then we go to Ender-Kun''s house and play the game" fine let''s do the book report then go home.

    *They played until 12:00 Pm where Ender-Kun fell asleep and his friends in the living room

 [Chapter 2] - [Heros start]

    Ahhh! My Head

    "Where am I?"

    This place looks so royalty this isn''t my house at all, I opened the door and see no one else, I''m starting to feel really sick. I walked to the hall of the room and as I noticed I arrived at a large Door with guards.

    "Hey, do you know where this place is?"

    The guards open the giant door and it appeared that I was in the presence of the throne room. And saw two people in the throne room standing there and a bunch of people in the side.

    "What the hell is this place!?"

    I went inside and everyone was murmuring my name like I''m some legend. And one person came and greeted us.

    "Welcome Legendary heroes I am Senator of this kingdom, Vinn Garndal."

    Legendary heroes, what is this guy saying? I''m not a hero let alone an inspiration to anyone.

    "Ummm... Where are we exactly and why are we summoned to this place"

    The guy with a giant scythe asked the Senator

    "Whaaa... Summoned!? What are you talking about?"

    I shouted so loudly and confused about where I was

    "Hmm... You must be confused heroes... First, let me tell you where and what are you doing here" Said the Senator.

    "First, you are summoned in this world to help and fight the tree of sins a deadly tree that was growing centuries ago, it is a tree that is in the center of the 4 kingdoms, no one know what the tree will do but when the 4 kingdoms experienced devastating attacks from the undead and spirits, the 4 kingdoms know what caused this devastation and we decided it was time to call on the 12 legendary class heroes"

    "The 12 legendary class heroes? But why are there only 3 of us and not 12?"

    Said the guy with a gigantic shield.

    The senator said in response

    "Each kingdom summons 3 heroes to fight and defend the people and kingdom, You are currently at the east kingdom, The kingdom of riches and development, the other kingdoms also support and have heroes summoned, The northern kingdom, the kingdom of agriculture and fishing, the west kingdom, the kingdom of Technology and advancements, and lastly the southern kingdom, the kingdom of Magic and mystery. Have summoned the 12 legendary class heroes to help protect the kingdoms from becoming a ruin, this is the true purpose of your summoning" said the Senator.

    "Well, what class are we and what are we good at?" I said strongly

    "That is now your chance to find out, plus you haven''t introduced yourselves, check your stats and Bio in the left part and focus on it," Said the senatorThe tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

    "The left? Ohh... I can see now, my stats and class"

    Ender Yamashita

    Level 1

    Class: summoner

    Strong attributes: Support and crowd control

    Equipment: Legendary fluke

    "So these are my stats, and my weapon the legendary fluke, so I guess I''m the support, huh,"

    "Okay heroes time for your introduction, so who''ll go first?"

    "Well I''ll go first then"

    "My name is Akira Hiro a 17- year old and a college sophomore, My class is the legendary Ninja hero, Pleasure to work with you"

    Akira Hiro, A white-haired boy, He stood fairly tall roughly 5.6 feet, he''s fairly thin and strong. In fact, He can get a harem quickly than any isekai protagonist. With strong and long-slitted eyes, he was the very image of a cool, slender ninja.

    "Okay I''m up next, my name is Rudolf Vanstrong a 28- year old and an office worker, My class is the legendary Paladin hero!"

    His features are more foreign with blonde and a big body type, fit for being a paladin he stood roughly tall and muscled, He seems like the type not to get mad easily, I can see that he was easily on par with Akira in the looks department. All in all, he seemed like a helpful and reliable guy.

    "And you sir?"

    ...Crap, was it my turn already?

    "Oh, sorry. Guess I''m last. The name''s Ender Yamashita, and I''m a 16-year-old High school student."

    The senator stared at me, contempt in his eyes. A chill ran down my spine.

    "Hmm. Rudolf, Akira and Ender, eh?"

    "So since your done with the introduction and I told you your purpose here I guess its time for you guys to go and take a tour in the city," The senator said happily

    "Oh... before that any question from the heroes?"

    "Anyway, what should we do from here on out? Being such a low level is making me uneasy." Said Akira

    "Ah, about that. We would like you to go on a journey to polish your skills and strengthen your legendary weapons."

    "Strengthen our weapons? They''re legendary, right? Shouldn''t they be strong from the start?"

    "I am simply relating the contents of the legend. It is written that ''the summoned Heroes will grow and strengthen their legendary weapons.''"

    "Again with the legends. So can we at least use something else until these things are strong enough to be useful?"

    Rudolf spoke out in a clear way, with him holding a giant shield and Hammer. He had a point. After all my "weapon" is not even a weapon it''s just a support item

    "Hey Senator What weapon do I have? I only have a fluke how can I summon creatures?"

    The senator looked at me with such a vicious glare

    "You use mana to do that, In this world Summons and other spells are casted with mana, Although summons takes a physical form it takes mana and stamina from the controller. With that in mind, the summoner uses the fluke to support and aid your allies and buff your summons, you level up with your summons and, in addition, can build a larger mana pool."

    "Ahh... okay now that clears my confusion on my class, Thank you"

    "No problem"

    Well then, should the three of us party up?" Said Rudolf

    "Wait just a moment, Heroes."

    "Hmm?"

    The senator stopped us as we were preparing to head out on our journey.

    "The three of you are to gather companions individually, then set off on your own separate journeys."

    "Oh? And why is that?"

    "It''s quite simple. According to legend, the weapons you carry naturally repel each other. Should you operate together as a group, you will do nothing but impede each other''s growth."

    "I''m not sure I get it, but basically you''re saying we can''t get strong unless we work alone?"

    Hmm? Some sort of help message had suddenly appeared over my sidebar.

    Working together with your fellow legendary weapon holders will be detrimental to your progress.

    Please try to operate separately as much as possible.

    "Looks like it''s the real deal..."

    What was with this game-like explanation, though? It was like we had really fallen into the world of a game. At any rate, it was nice to know that the legendary weapons came with a user''s manual. I would have to make time to read through it all later.

    "So then, we need to gather companions, I guess?"

    "On the contrary, we will gather companions for you ¨C the best of the best, have no worries. However, the day grows late. For now, rest yourselves and gather your strength. Your journey begins tomorrow."

    "Thank you."

    "Yeah, thanks."

    Leaving behind words of gratitude, we relocated to the guest quarters prepared for us by the Senator.

 [Chapter 3] - [Heros Quarters]

    Once we arrived in the guest quarters, we sprawled out on the extravagant beds that had been prepared for us and went to work studying the Help menu for our weapons. At some point, the sun completely disappeared below the horizon, but I was so absorbed in reading that I didn''t even notice.

    On the plus side, I was able to find out a lot of useful information. Apparently, the legendary weapons were almighty tools that didn''t require maintenance. On top of that, if their owner diligently leveled up and fused materials into it, new forms would unlock, which were recorded in something called the "fluke notes". That sounded interesting, so I decided to try pulling it up

    *Sound of the fluke

    The screen that was shown was the notes on how to play the fluke properly, the specific buffs and debuffs are locked until I learn how to play the fluke.

    And I noticed that my mana pool is extremely low, the senator said that I need mana to cast summons, I can actually cast summons although the only summon I can make is a butterfly, it''s cute but not deadly.

    It looked like I could develop my legendary weapon through various notes. It was just like a skill tree from an online game. And in order to learn skills, I needed to unlock the power of sleeping in the weapons...?

    "Man, this is a game, don''t you think?"

    I spoke up suddenly, but the others weren''t really paying attention. They were probably looking through the Help menu too.

    "What are you talking about? This isn''t just ''like'' a game, it is a game. I''m pretty sure I''ve played it before."

    Akira shouted.

    "Really?"

    "Yeah, it''s really popular. You haven''t played it?"

    "No! I''m a pretty big otaku myself, and I''ve never played anything like this."

    "Seriously? But this is Gibel Online!"

    "I''ve never even heard of that!"

    "Huh? Are you really a gamer? It''s super famous."

    "Sorry, the only really big online games I know about are Vader Online and Final Dawn Online."

    "What the heck are those? This is the first I''ve heard of them."

    "Eh?"

    "Eh?"

    "What are you all talking about? This world isn''t an online game at all, it''s from a Pc game!"

    "Wait, that can''t be right. Isn''t this an MMO?"

    "Huh? Even assuming we''ve entered the world of an online game, that''s still something you play with a mouse or controller, right?"

    Rudolf tilted his head in confusion at Akira''s question.

    "Mouse? Controller? Why are you talking about antiques? Aren''t all the online games these days VRMMOs?"

    "Did you hit your head or something? Those kinds of games only exist in science fiction."

    "What!?"

    Akira objected loudly. Thinking about it, he was the first person to notice the status magic, wasn''t he? I got the impression that he was already used to it, somehow.

    I raised my hand.

    "Umm... everybody, what game world do you think this is, exactly?"

    "Vader Online."

    "Final dawn Online."

    "I didn''t even know there was a game like this."

    While I certainly thought this world seemed gameish, it didn''t remind me of any game in particular.

    "I see. By the way, to me, it looks like the world of Murgin Wave, a console game."

    For some reason, none of us had ever heard of any of the others'' games.

    "Wait, wait, we can sort this out."

    Rudolf touched his hand to his forehead and tried to get a grip on the situation.

    "Akira, according to you this is a VRMMO, right?"

    "That''s right."

    "And Ender do you understand what he means by that?"

    "It''s a term I''ve seen in science fiction games before, yeah."

    "N-no unfortunately I have never heard of that term in a game."

    "Okay, same here. Then, Akira. This ''Final Dawn Online'' you mentioned, it''s a VRMMO?"

    "Yeah, I used to play it all the time. The way this world works really resembles the systems it uses."

    Based on what Akira was saying, he came from a world where the technology to dive into virtual realities was commonplace.

    "So, do any of the games we''ve mentioned exist in your world''s past?"

    Akira shook his head.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.

    "I consider myself something of a gaming history buff, and I''ve never heard of any of them. Are you sure they''re famous?"

    Rudolf and I both nodded. If he really was an expert on online games, it would be strange for him to have such a glaring gap in his knowledge. And while it was possible that the problem was on our side, you''d think at least one of us would be able to name a game that was actually popular.

    "Okay let''s settle down everyone so the 3 of us are transported from Japan and got summoned here am I correct"

    Everyone nodded at my statement.

    "It looks like we''re all from totally different time places in Japan, huh?"

    "Yeah. No matter how you look at it there''s no way we all came from different worlds."

    "Still, fantasy worlds are one thing, but who''d have thought that there were different times?"

    "Well, there''s still the possibility that we came from the same world but different eras, but with so many inconsistencies it''s seeming less and less likely."

    Being gathered here together like this was strange. Really strange. That said, the fact that we were all gamers probably didn''t mean anything.

    "Based on the way things have been going, I''d wager we all ended up here under different circumstances, too."

    "That seems likely. I can''t say I''m really interested in small talk, but I suppose we should at least consolidate our information."

    Rudolf started telling his story. From the way he was talking, he was clearly surprised at how he came into this world, and his story somewhat matches up with ours.

    "I was on my way home from school when I stumbled a game console that was fine in the trash. I remember up to the point that I started to play the game at 12:00 PM, but after that..."

    ...Akira''s story matches up with the stories we told to each other, same game and same time we played around 12:00 PM now it makes sense how we were brought here... But Anthony and Yuna did they also get summoned here?

    If they did I would have teamed up with them, I think they''re safe in Japan and probably worried why I didn''t come to class.

    Personally, I thought it was pretty clich¨¦d, but I resisted the urge to chime in with a snarky comment. From the looks of things, he probably played an all-nighter and slept. Normally I did the same so as a hero I''ll keep him off the chains.

    "Anyway, before I knew it I was here."

    "So you played until your heart''s content, huh? That''s pretty awesome."

    He laughed off my compliment with an affected air of coolness. But, that was fine.

    "I''ll go next."

    "I was at the library doing a project with my friends when one of them told me of a new game. Naturally, I picked it up and started playing it, and before I knew it I was here."

    "..."

    Their stares were cold. What? Did I need to have a cool history to be accepted or something? The others started whispering to each other just out of earshot.

    "But...that guys...flute..."

    "Of course...right?"

    "Yeah..."

    I couldn''t quite make out everything, but I got the feeling they were looking down on me. I needed to change the topic, and quick.

    "Yup."

    "That''s right."

    "More or less."

    Damn, I was the only noob here! This totally sucked.

    "I-I see. Then, do you think you could give me some ideas? Since my world is the only one that didn''t have a game like this."

    For some reason, their reaction to my question was split. Akira glared at me, while Rudolf was smiling.

    "Don''t worry, you''re in good hands Akira is here to tell you how it is."

    Rudolf walked up to me and gave me a sandwich. Something about the look on his face was really suspicious.

    "See, there''s a class in our game called the Summoner that uses knives as its main weapon."

    "Okay."

    "At first, the high amount of damage the summons give is really nice op if you would, but as you progress through the game it starts to get overwhelmed by the ridiculous amount of damage the enemies can dish out and kill your summons in a short time, and in a meantime you run out of mana to summon anything useful.

    "Okay..."

    "In short, at high levels, it''s an F tier that absolutely nobody uses."

    "Hmmm... Really you think that my summons are useless"

    I didn''t want to hear that! I mean, what the hell!? He was basically calling me a born loser!

    "Wasn''t it ever fixed in an update?"

    Surely they must have balanced it at some point.

    "Nah, it was okay and barely anybody played it, so they never bothered. Last I heard, they had decided to just get change to another class."

    "Wasn''t there any class awakening!?"

    "Sure, but the whole ability sucked."

    "What about class exchange?"

    "Sorry, but it wasn''t that kind of game."

    Geez, if all of this was true, I had been stuck with a useless class I did not even get a weapon just summons and low mana. I looked down at my fluke gloomily. Did it really hold such a useless class?

    "Wait, what about you guys?"

    I turned to Rudolf in desperation.

    "Well, if you learn the way to use your class properly, you can dish out some large damage and, in addition, if you learn how to play your fluke you can buff your summons and us and also dishing out some debuffs to help us and your summons, its all about effort and time you put to strengthen your class and teach us how strong and powerful it is."

    I was happy to have Rudolf support me and help me to attain such feat, I can''t thank him enough for backing me up he is truly a heroic image in my eyes, unlike Akira over here.

    "Haaa...!"

    "But the upper levels the summoner will have a difficult time coping with the higher level monsters."

    "I know but if Ender-Kun just trained he can keep up with the strong enemies and maybe stronger than us."

    While I was listening there dumbfounded, they started talking about my class themselves.

    "A-anyway so what about we discuss something."

    And just like that I kept them in control and put this discussion into progress

    "What''s the terrain like?"

    "The names are different, but otherwise it''s essentially the same. This means there''s a good chance the monster distributions are the same, too."

    "Since each weapon''s hunting ground is slightly different, we should avoid going to the same areas."

    "Yeah, that''s probably the most efficient way to do it."

    Their eyes were sparkling. I could tell they were thinking something along the lines of, "Wow, we really hit the jackpot as far as abilities go, didn''t we?"

    ...that''s right. They were strong, and I wasn''t. But there were still plenty of roads available to me. If I was weak, I just needed to rely on the summons. Even somebody like me could get stronger by fighting and relying on something.

    "Well as of now, the priority now is to train and get my mana up to summon some creatures."

    "Hehe... what am I worrying about? It''s not every day you get a chance to see another world! I''m sure things will work out somehow."

    I couldn''t let everybody''s looks of pity get to me. I just needed to practice the fluke and manage my mana and summons, and I''d be good to go.

    "All right! I can do this!"

    I pumped myself up.

    "Honorable Heroes, we have prepared a meal for you."

    Oh? Apparently, it was time to eat dinner.

    We opened the door, and a chef escorted us to the guest dining hall. It was like a scene from a fantasy movie. Rows of tables were packed with food, like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

    "Everybody, please help yourselves to whatever you like."

    "Seriously? We can eat anything we want?"

    Rudolf happily said.

    ...I couldn''t believe he was hungry after eating 2 sandwiches and now eating a feast. What a Man.

    "Yes."

    The attendant shook his head.

    "After you''ve had your fill, the food here will be used in your introduction."

    Hmm? As I took a closer look at the dining room, I realized that the boisterous throngs of people filling the room were all cooks. So this was what they called "preferential treatment", huh? Apparently, they intended to introduce us to the knights when we finished.

    "Well then, let''s eat!"

    And so, we indulged in the food of another world. It was a bit weird for my tastes, but there wasn''t anything I couldn''t eat. Though, a lot of it was bizarre. There was even one dish that looked like an omelet but tasted exactly like beef stew.

    After we were done, we returned to our room.

    "Do you think they''ve got a bath here?"

    "It''s a medieval setting, so chances are they have outdoor washtubs."

    "I''m sure they''d prepare one for us if we asked."

    "Eh, that''s okay. It''s just one day, after all."

    "That''s true. Anyway, I''m tired, and we''ve got a big day tomorrow, so I''m gonna go ahead and hit the bed."

    Both of us followed Akira''s lead and went to bed too.

    That night, I drifted to sleep with a smile on my face. My adventure started tomorrow! Playing with my butterflies as I drift away to sleep.

 [Chapter 4]- [Ready and Awaken]

    It was this morning

    "What... What is it?"

    "Oi... Ender wake up, we need to go to the throne room, the senator is calling us today is the day we go out for our adventure"

    Rudolf awoke my sweet slumber and pumped me up for today

    "After I got changed, we waited in the throne room for the senator to arrive apparently he had some minor business to deal with and after waiting a while. Our excitement for today and the day to come will be immeasurable.

    "Welcome, Legendary Heroes."

    Inside the throne room, entered twelve people twelve men and twelve women respectively they were adventurers that was chosen as the best by the senator. There were even a few that looked like knights and some looked like thieves. The senator''s choice and help were amazing and beyond gratitude.

    They bowed in greeting. And we did the same.

    "As mentioned by the king and queen of the Eastern kingdom, I, Vinn Garndall, have gathered companions to follow you on your adventure. They are all eager to make your friendship."

    This is cool! I did the math the three of us will be able to get four adventurer''s and none will be left.

    "Now, future heroes of this country. Choose the one you wish to serve as your master."

    "They get to follow themselves to the end, whether or not they will stick or go out. Well, at least I''ll know who is loyal to my side."

    One by one, the adventurers chose the hero and gathered into groups in front of each of us.

    Akira: 4

    Rudolf: 4

    Ender: 4

    "It was perfectly decided and chosen, my partners for my adventure."

    "All I have are summons and fluke, I will depends on them as strongly as my summons"

    "I did not get a close look at them because, they were at the back and I got my eyes closed the whole time they were choosing."

    "Then, I shall distribute the Money you heroes will need."

    At the Senator''s signal, we were given with three heavy, moneybags.

    "I hereby give 600 gold coins to Ender, and 600 gold coins to Akira and 600 gold coins to Rudolf. Use it to equip yourselves, and then begin your adventure!"

    And so, our senator leaved the throne. Everybody filed out into the hall, and began their self-introductions.

    "Nice to meet you, Summoner hero. We are your allies. Let''s do our best together, okay?"

    "R-Right!"

    "Then, shall we go and leave, guys?"

    "Yes, Summoner hero! Please take care of us"This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

    But before we could leave the throne room, the senator and one his commander''s in charge greeted us again.

    "Heroes I''m afraid that we don''t have much time left!"

    "What do you mean?" Akira replied.

    "The fruit of the tree of sin has begun to shake and tomorrow the first wave of undead will come."

    "Huhh..."

    "What!?"

    Seeing everyone including myself worried and afraid is quite indeed troublesome I can sense that this will be no ordinary fight.

    "Please, heroes you have to level up as soon as possible."

    "The level gap on the first wave is twenty, I can assure you that the level from one to twenty will be easy, we have a plain that has monsters and we can give you these special experience level potions we made."

    "Please heroes, help us from these monsters and protect the eastern kingdom."

    "Well, we can''t do nothing about it now."

    "Yeah, I guess we have no choice"

    "Very well, we the summoner, Paladin, and ninja class heroes will level up as soon as possible and help the eastern part as much as we can!"

    "Thank you heroes! We will prepare the field for you too level up as soon as possible."

    The plain that greeted us when we crossed the drawbridge from the castle into the town nearly blew me away. Though I had caught a glimpse of heaven, seeing it up close really drilled in the fact that I had come to another world. Wooden signboards hung over stone streets and storefronts, and the smell of flowers through the air. It really made quite an impression.

    "First, I needed a way to increase the mana I have, the guide sure does help, I guess the way is to level up or do some mana training to get higher mana but leveling up is the only option, for a quick route."

    "Oww... yeah do you guys need equipment?"

    "No, we already bought ourselves equipment when we entered the castle"

    "Ahhh..."

    "I guess I''m the only one who needs a weapon, what if I have no mana left. I need a weap-"

    The menu acted up it says I can''t use weapons outside the class specific ones. It shows the one I have, the legendary fluke.

    "Damn, what am I going to do if I ran out of mana for my summons and buffs"

    "Ohhh... right I have my team to back me up, then I have no problems at all."

    Since I couldn''t use my fluke very well, I held out my summons to my team. I felt a little silly, only summoning a butterfly but there was no way around it my mana and skills were just too low and I still can''t summon more. My ally muttered something under his breath towards my fluke.

    "strange it was supposed to react and glow to the enchantment, well maybe it''s just a little weird. At first glance, it''s just a normal small shield. But there''s something strange about it..."

    I was painfully aware that it was just a flute. Even the status magic said so.

    "Well... I need armor for me anyone know a place for summoners?"

    One of them politely answered and walked me into the shop for summoner armor.

    I walked over to the armor he had recommended and touched my hand to it. The magic cloth and leather. I wondered what its defensive abilities were like...

    Huh? An icon popped up.

    Summon robe

    Defense Up, Summons +20 attack speed, +20 resistance, Mana +30

    "Ahh... good it has added mana and bonus stat changes, alright I decided to but this robe"

    "Are you sure you guys have good gear to keep up with?"

    "Yes, Were fine summoner hero"

    "Alright, shopkeeper how much will this be?"

    "Well, since you''re the summoner hero I''ll give you a slight discount but just once, my business runs steadily"

    "Alright fine, how much will that be pops?"

    "That will be around 300 silver!"

    "Alright got it pops."

    "Pleasure doing business with you, summoner hero."

    "Thanks"

    I saw some strange weapon from the shelves of his store I took a closer look at it and saw it was a whip, a summoner weapon.

    Again, an icon appeared.

    Steel barbed whip

    Attack Up, Swing speed down

    Effect: applies bleeding to the target

    "It also has a status effect, bleeding damage as expected of barbed steel"

    "Hey pops, how much does this whip cost?"

    "I need a weapon to defend myself with if I ever run out on mana."

    "Okay, well this is a very well made whip and it has good things going for it, I would say 40 gold, How about that"

    "That''s fine by me."

    "Okay, Thanks pops."

    I acquired a new item, a new weapon unlocked by my status a barbed wire whip, one of the different whips available it looks like there are more whips to get, but I wondered why did the senator just gave me a legendary whip instead of a fluke.

    I wore the robe and its true my stats have changed a bit, but my mana is still 200 its still quite small, due to the fact that my summons tend to be 50 mana and up to summon.

    Afterward, we walked toward the edge of town and went through the castle gates. The guards posted as lookouts acknowledged our presence with a nod, and I greeted them cheerfully in return. With that they gave me three experience gain potions and four for my allies. This was it! The start of my adventure was finally here!

 [CHAPTER 5] - [HARD GRIND]

    Outside the castle gates, the forest extended far as the eye could see. There was a road (of sorts) leading off into the distance, but aside from that, there wasn''t so much as a trace of the others so far.

    The last time I had seen anything like it was when I went on a trip to Hokkaido, but even that paled in comparison to this endless blue sky, this sea of green that stretched all the way to the horizon. The only thing that kept me from climbing the trees and playing with my summons to my heart''s content was the knowledge that if anybody saw me doing it, my stock as a hero would plummet even further than it already had.

    "Just a minute, Summoner Hero. This area is home to many averagely strong monsters. We should use this as an opportunity to use our potions before things get tougher."

    "Yes, please I have no experience on fighting just yet"

    "Yes. Please do your best."

    "Wait. Are you saying you guys not going to help?"

    "You see summoner hero, we are already ready for the first fruit to drop, and since if we help it will be a hindrance to your level, we would be supporting you if you need help."

    "Oh... I guess that makes sense."

    Hypothesizing about it, my team was probably already really experienced, while I had no idea what I was even capable of. If they thought the monsters here were safe for me to start with, I should trust their judgment.

    We walked through the dark forest for a while, until eventually, we stumbled across a conspicuously dangerous creature.

    "Ah, there''s one now. A steel boar, by the looks of it. Be careful, summoner hero... it''s strong and extremely aggressive."

    "A steel boar, from the looks of things my barbed whip won''t do much because of its steel body, I guess I''ll have to use my summons for this."

    "Good luck, summoner hero!"

    "Alright!"

    This was my chance to know how strong my summons are. I steadied my hand preparing to summon a wolf with my right hand, then bring it down on the Boar.

    "Summon dark wolf!"

    "Whaaa... It did not work why won''t it come out?"

    *Oink

    "Ohh... shoot it''s coming after me, I better get my whip."

    *Whish

    "It reflected it"

    "It''s running toward me!"

    "Anybody help!"

    "It''s alright summoner hero, do your best!"If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.

    "Do your best my ass! I''m being chased by a boar come help!"

    "The legends were true about the hero, he''s completely useless and scared."

    "It appears that we chose the wrong one"

    "Well, no worries let''s just watch him and if it gets worse we''ll have to carry out the plan that the senator told us to do."

    *Pant

    *Pant

    "Damn it I need to attack it, maybe I need to summons some butterflies, alright I have no other option left"

    "Summon dark butterflies!"

    "I did it but what will it do now?"

    *Oink

    "What... the butterflies explode on contact, I guess it''s quite useful, well I should not have played with it before, knowing the effects it had now!"

    It finally died.

    *pant

    I heard a ping and a message saying I had gained 578 EXP appeared. I saw my level go up by 15 levels and I now have three summons I can use wolf, hawk, and bear respectively each cost about 50 to 100 for summoning even one. Although my mana pool did not grow, there may be a problem regarding my mana and the way I use it.

    "Good job, summoner hero."

    Just then, I noticed the sound of smoke poofs somewhere in the distance slowly growing louder. I turned my head to see what it was and saw Akira, the ninja class hero, and his followers battling along at a brisk pace. I briefly considered calling out a greeting, but I didn''t have the nerve to disturb people running with such serious expressions.

    Suddenly, three porcupine-like creatures appeared in front of them.

    *swoosh*

    Without hesitation, Akira slashed his giant scythe in an arc, killing them one after the other.

    He took them all out with one strike!? Just how high was his attack score and speed!?

    "I can''t even walk fast because of my mana problem..."

    "Hero are you okay? We have mana potions in stock."

    "...Thanks, guys."

    That''s right. I had just been running for five whole minutes without getting so much as a scratch. It seemed my defense score, at least, was actually pretty low and my damage was good. With my spirits rising a bit, I destroyed a bit more creatures in the forest and leveled up more and picked up the remains of the defeated monsters. As I did, a faint sound began to emanate from my fluke.

    I slowly brought the balloon scraps toward my fluke. The instant I touched them together, a faint light glimmered, and the silver, hard material was sucked into the fluke''s mouthpiece.

    Silver boar titanium skin Acquired

    I noticed that the buff and debuff icons were lit up now. I opened it up to see if anything had changed and saw that an icon for a "summons property change buff" and a "titanium weight debuff" had appeared. It was okay in terms of mana usage using only ten mana for both.

    "Is that the power of the legendary weapons?"

    "You would not call it a weapon, more like an item for support."

    "Okay then..."

    Two more boars had approached us as we were speaking. However, I casted my new summon the wolf and it struck them down with two swift, elegant bites. They didn''t even last a second. Although I did use a bit of mana to summon two at the same time.

    "No way... Incredible summoner hero!"

    "As seen through the legend."

    "Wow, how strong!"

    This was my second day as an official Hero of another world, and after just five minutes of battle, I understood my current situation. I finally realized just how weak I am in terms of mana and physical attributes, these summons however are strong and deadly.

    I went and leveled up to 23 already the maximum level was 25, I remembered correctly.

    "Okay, new plan. You guys go on ahead and I''ll be leveling up to 25 some more. I''ll meet you guys in the inn you guys suggested"

    "Roger!"

    They agreed immediately. Afterward, I traveled through the forest until the sun had nearly set, slaying every creature I encountered. Apparently the "Change property buff" allows my summons to change their stats and increase their survivability and defense while lowering their speed. And apparently, there are golden boars that are far stronger but I managed to defeat it and got a new property "golden luck" it increases critical strike chance while lowering attack speed. Once I leveled up to 25 I returned to the in that we were supposed to meet.

    But the mana problem still continues, even though I leveled to 25 my mana will still not grow, I still need a way to get more mana to buff and support my team and summons.

    In the end, though, my team and I paused our adventure midway to return to the kingdom.

 [CHAPTER 6] - [THE PREPARATIONS]

    It was morning the senator called us heroes to discuss the battle plan we will be doing, the other heroes have really cool gear it makes me jealous seeing that I only have some boots and a robe.

    Akira was wearing a ninja-like gear, he sported a cool mask over his face which made him look a lot cooler and more handsome than before. It suits the cool nature of an aspiring ninja.

    As for Rudolf, I can see that he is sporting some white plated armor with crystals and gems with it his shield also matches the color of his armor, it fits him seeing as he is the paladin hero.

    "So you heroes defend the kingdom at what cost, you will be escorted by knights 5 minutes before the wave starts, to the outer part of the kingdom to defend against the undead wave."

    Everyone agreed and went out to prepare for the first fruit to fall.

    We decided to go shopping for better equipment to help us in the attack and make us potentially stronger.

    Weapon Skill ¨C ˇ¸Change propertyˇą

    Equipment Bonus: Class awaken skills <Unmastered>

    Magic item Bonus: Mana regen II

    Equipment Bonus: Summon damage +50, summon speed +20, summon defense +10, Summon mana usage -5%

    Equipment Bonus: Skill ¨C ˇ¸Butterfly springˇą <Unmastered>

    ETC......

    It had been three days since then and now we are prepared for battle.

    But first I need to increase my stats some more before the fight.

    I had begun chasing the Monkey-like monster who, upon realizing its disadvantage, fled the battle.

    My level had raised considerably. I was now at Lv 25.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.

    My LV. Gain was extremely fast for just one day of grinding.

    ... By the way, I was still fighting in my old armor.

    And since I had yet to take any damage, not to mention all the monster attacks seemed stronger and faster up until now, this incident became a real head scratcher when I thought about it.

    Yet it served as a painful experience for me.

    Relying too much on my summons, even though I have been carrying a whip, I went into battle with a debuff from before, and it hurt like hell when I had taken a hit.

    Astonishingly, I had received some small scratches from this Porcupine''s ambush attack and now my robe and whip are damaged. I need to buy some new ones before the fruit hits.

    So I went to the shop and bought my new stuff, my team is nowhere to be found and I think that they went on and also prepared some stuff for the fight.

    "40 more minutes till the fruit falls, I need to buy these things quickly or else I''ll be in trouble"

    "Okay pops! I need new equipment for the first battle."

    "Really huh! Okay I''ll give you the best one''s I have but you have to buy them at full price, what do you say?"

    "No problem there! As long as I can survive the battle"

    "Ha-ha alright then, here is the equipment you''ll be using."

    "How much does all of these cost?"

    "If I had to put a price mark on it, I think 200 gold coins."

    "Wow! You look really cool kiddo that red fire robe and armor suits you really well"

    "Thanks!"

    Defense: +50

    Robe special effect: Cast fire magic to enemies and can change the elemental properties of a summon.

    Elemental effects huh, I guess it also changes the property of my summons to become fire. Damn it is expensive and good to use.

    "Okay pops, as long as these are good, including the new whip."

    "Yes, the whip was made by titanium its sharp and coated in magic so you''ll have an easier chance of winning."

    "Thanks pops! I''ll be leaving now."

    "Anytime, come back alive and I''ll give you a discount."

    "Sure thing."

    "Right on time five minutes before the battle starts, I can see that Akira and Rudolf are now going to the outermost of the city ready to defend, I still can''t find my team or my carriage, huh one minute before it starts, don''t tell me they already left."

    "That was the clearest way of predicting it. Then I need to ride my summons then, at least I already prepared 3 mana potions."

    "Summon Dark wolf!"

    "Alright I''m heading to the battlefield now, 30 more seconds until the wave."

    My summoned wolf runned as a fast as It can trying to catch up with the time, but in the distance I can see them already prepared to fight the hoard.

    "I made it in time."

    *Three... Two... one... It has begun.

    When the fruit fall down a gigantic shockwave blew the trees and started the wave of monsters.

    This was the first fruit that fell, we heroes prepared ourselves for the fight.

    This is the start of my legacy as the summoner class hero, the savior of the eastern kingdom.

 [CHAPTER 7] - [THE FRUIT OF SINS]

    A wave of monsters ran from the center of the tree and into the forest, my team are nowhere to be found and the wave has started, I think they were in the deep forest defending. So I did not bother.

    Since I was a hero, I couldn''t even attempt to escape from the dead outbreak due to the kingdom''s "hero protection barrier" power.

    The same was applied to my summons and the other heroes; it was likely that my team are also confined to the kingdom along with me.

    The barrier affects half of the forest, as well as the town that was near the kingdom

    "Charge!"

    "Defend!"

    Akira and Rudolf shouted with honor, trying to defend against the vast monsters that were coming this way.

    "Summon dark phoenix!"

    *fluke playing*

    "Change property: Titanium skin"

    Good! With the dark phoenix, I can keep the flying creeps out of the way, not to mention the added buff of "titanium skin" to prolong its life, now time to attack in the ground.

    I heard a loud explosion from within the city, I looked up and saw no sign of my phoenix, and most of the enemies are in the town square.

    "How... that phoenix was at a higher level than the monsters, and theoretically a big wave of them in the air will not kill it."

    I drank my mana potions and summoned 5 phoenixes quickly inside the town square, and I also summoned 5 dark wolves to join in the other summons. And all of them were buffed with the "titanium skin", I can only summon up to ten summons so that might be enough to fight the freaks in the kingdom.

    I looked at other heroes fighting so I joined them using nothing but my whip

    "You can''t be the only one''s having fun fighting them"Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

    "Ender good timing we are about to win the first wave and after this, we rest"

    "Yeah... By the way, where is Akira?"

    "He''s in the forest clearing some of the monsters there, and I am here to clean the ones that pass by, we planned this with the senator remember?"

    "Aww yeah... now I remember"

    Just when I thought things were going smoothly the capital made another large explosion, even stronger than the other one."

    "Ender the capital! Go inside and defend the capital."

    "Hai!"

    "Wait did I just ordered 10 summons to defend the capital? How are they dying, the monsters are 5 levels below my summons and they have the "titanium skin" buff which makes them harder to kill, but somehow they keep on dying! How is this possible!?"

    I rushed to the capital and as I thought there were no trace and sign of my summons defending the wave, something must be going on with them.

    "Summon dark wolves!"

    "Waa... Shit, my mana is drained! I drank all my mana potions a while ago, I''ll need to use my whip to defend myself or else I''m going to die."

    "This is bad, I have to protect the infested plaza by myself, and there is no going back!"

    I contemplated on the words the heroes said to me about my class being overall weak and a letdown to them, this whole time I was mad and angry about myself and my role as a hero.

    "Damn it... If it was not for this stupid class I would have not gotten myself into this mess!"

    "If it weren''t for my great and powerful summons my life would be better! Damn it all!!"

    "My stupid team not helping me at all! Where are those idiots anyway not helping me!?"

    As I said that a giant Chimera-like creature flew into the plaza and attacked me, I was frightened and scared I had a giant bite in my arm region and I thought it was the end of me, and right as I thought I was going to get eaten, Rudolf came and shielded me and used his "Counter-block shield" skill to push the chimera and was then defeated by Akira using his giant scythe."

    When the chimera died the other monsters attacking the plaza rotted to the ground and produced a really bad odor.

    "Ender, are you okay? I will heal you now don''t worry."

    "Rudolf, Akira why did you come for me? Why did you not just let me die?"

    "I did not come for you idiot, I saw the final monster from the wave and it flew to the plaza, so I called Rudolf as soon as I saw him but I''m glad you''re not dead yet."

    With sadness and disappointment in my eyes, I stood up and thanked Rudolf and Akira for the work they have done and for the help they gave me.

    "Yeah, yeah don''t mention it"

    "HA HA HA! Don''t sweat in Ender I can''t stand to see a fellow hero in danger, and plus at least you protected the plaza all by yourself while we fought the wave from outside, don''t get your spirits low and also the senator said that we need to go to the throne room after the fight, for our reward!"

    "Yeah... Thanks, Rudolf"

    "Hai! Now hurry the three of us need to go now!"

    Apparently, their party got escorted to the palace before they did, I hope my team is also safe.

 [Chapter 8] - [BETRAYAL OF TRUST]

    By the time we got back to the castle town, it was already noon. We headed straight for the throne room.

    "Ah, if it isn''t the three heroes. You know, the people of the eastern kingdom thank you for your bravery."

    So everybody ended up living? No wonder the senator looked so pleased with himself.

    "Now let''s clear the elephant in the room, shall we?"

    "What? The elephant in the room?"

    "Huh? What''s with that reaction?"

    Everybody was looking at me as if I was a villain.

    "Ender, what were you doing in the fight?"

    "Wahhhhh!"

    "I was fighting with Rudolf and Akira in the frontlines."

    "Rudolf, any confirmation about that?"

    "Yes, Senator! Ender was with us in the frontlines, then retreated to defend the kingdom"

    "Okay I get the point, my problem is that ender''s teammates were fighting without their leader."

    "What!"

    "Senator, I was searching for them but did not find them"

    "Silence Summoner hero!"

    "This mission is supposed to be teamwork-based, and our plan was to team up with the other heroes, you have disregarded that plan I made and ended up letting monsters enter the kingdom!"

    I have no excuse to say no to what the senator said, it is true that I did not wait for my team and abandoning them, just to fight the wave with the others.

    "Yes, I have no excuse for that senator."

    "Okay now we move on to the rewards of your courage, you will be each given 5000 gold for your bravery."

    "Nice I can finally eat good food"

    Rudolf shouted with glee

    "I guess I can buy, more equipment for myself."

    Akira said that with a straight face in front of everyone in the room.

    "As for you Ender, you will not get a reward because of the lack of teamwork and damage you have done to the kingdom."

    "Wait Senator, Ender must be rewarded with something! He helped defend the kingdom while we were fighting in the frontlines, he must be appreciated with something."

    Rudolf defended me, I was grateful even though I had so many mistakes, he is the embodiment of a true warrior and hero.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

    "Hmmm... Akira any objections with Rudolf''s choice?"

    "No, it is true that he did help defend the kingdom, even though he is useless he needs a reward."

    "Alright then! I will give Ender half of the money 3000 gold"

    I felt a sense of relief that the other heroes helped me when I thought all is lost for me.

    "Thank you, Senator!"

    "Heroes, you are dismissed from the throne room!"

    After leaving the throne room the three of us headed away and spend some money, since I thought that I can''t get any money I have not yet decided what to spend it on.

    "Summoner hero!"

    "My team called me."

    "Sorry for getting you into trouble hero, we promise not to leave you again."

    "Okay, I am also sorry for leaving you all alone on the battlefield."

    "So what do you guys want?"

    "Actually our armor was damaged in the battle, do you mind buying us?"

    "Okay no big deal, let''s go to the blacksmith."

    We headed straight to the blacksmith and made my team pick out the armor that they like, the armor they got were pricey, costing 2000 gold.

    "Okay you all got your armor now, everyone good?"

    "Yes thank you Summoner hero!"

    "It''s already really late, let''s go out on a fancy meal for our victory."

    We then headed to the place where my team said that the food is really good, and we ate the large course fancy meal costing 1000 gold but it was worth the money for good food, we headed out of the inn so full and ready to take the hay.

    "Summoner hero!"

    "Yes?"

    "The team wanted to go to the woods to get experience and to burn off what we ate, is it okay for you?"

    Since my team wanted to go to the woods, I have no choice since I also had a huge debt to them in a form of leaving them behind, so I guess it would be bad not to go with them."

    "Fine, I also want to level up a bit before going to bed."

    "Thank you, summoner hero."

    So we all headed for the woods and got to the riverside of the woods to rest and level up since there were lots of creatures roaming by the river at night.

    "Were here, so let''s get to leveling up."

    *Slash*

    "Arrgghhhh!"

    "What the hell!"

    Male voice 1: "Hmmm... your defense is weak as usual, no wonder why you are the burden of the heroes."

    "What do you mean!?"

    *Slash*

    Female voice 1: "Listen, useless hero, this is what you get for leaving us on the battlefield alone!"

    *Slash slash*

    "Arrrgghh!"

    Female voice 2: "you really are the most useless hero in the whole 4 kingdoms, you can''t even defend yourself!"

    *Shot*

    "B-Blegh... Arrrgghh!"

    "W-What are you talking about, I am strong!"

    "Summon dark wolves!"

    "What I-I can''t cast my spells! My mana is full what is happening?"

    *slash*

    *shot*

    female voice 2: I used magic to prevent you from using your summons, useless hero! HAHAHAHA!!!"

    "Why!"

    Male voice 1: "So you want to know why?"

    Male voice 2: "Very well let''s start from the beginning, long ago the summoner hero was regarded the burden of the eastern kingdom and the most useless one, the past summoner heroes have been killed by the wave because of their lack of use and experience, you''re just like the past useless heroes but much worse than them!"

    *Slash*

    "Blegh"

    Female voice 1: "Before you die from blood loss, do you know why your summons dies so quickly in the battle!"

    "W-Why"

    Male voice 1: "WE, we killed your summons to make you sound useless, the senator ordered us to kill them and kill you to make the kingdom better! And because of your stupid kindness look what happened now about to die by your teammates, how do like that for leaving us useless hero."

    After hearing those words my heart and mind had nothing to say other than to get them back one day, rage and sorrow flowed through my heart, and wanting to kill them.

    "Damn you all!"

    *Slash*

    *Shot*

    "I''m not giving up!"

    Female voice 2: "you can''t just die quickly, let me make it quicker!

    Female voice 2: "Fire hurricane"

    "AAARRRGGGHHHH!"

    Male voice 1: "Hmmm... This last thrust should kill you."

    At that moment I was ready to die and give up, I have accepted my fate as I thought about what they said filled with rage, I was unconscious.

    *ROAAARRR*

    *Swoop*

    *fire breath*

    Male voice 1: "W-What the supreme dragon!? Shit, let''s run!"

    Female voice 2: "Let''s just blame it on the dragon the summoner hero died."

    "Hero you will meet the next dawn, stay strong!"

    *Flap Flap*

 [CHAPTER 9] - [REAWAKENED]

    "mmmm...."

    "W-where am I?"

    I woke up in a room that was empty but it has some glaring features, first of all, it looks like it''s a tree from the inside, the second is that it''s well decorated meaning someone lives here. Suddenly the door opened and got greeted by someone.

    "Ahhh... you''re awake now I see, Ender Yamashita the summoner hero."

    "W-Who are you, and why do you know my name?"

    "Of course we know your name you are famous around these parts of the elven forest."

    "Wait you are an elf!?"

    "D-Don''t kill me!"

    "Why do we want to kill you, in fact, we could have eaten you now besides healing you."

    "That is true."

    "Dear me, I haven''t introduced myself yet my name is Doramu Elven, I am the village druid, you don''t need to introduce yourself, hero, we already know who you are."

    "Wait so, this is a village?"

    "Yes! A village full of elves that helps lost adventurers traverse the deep woods, we are at peace with the eastern kingdom the part of the forest they own."

    "I get it now, so how did I get here?"

    "Well... when you got here you were dropped by one of the ethereal dragon or supreme dragon."

    "Supreme dragon?"

    "Yes, the supreme dragon has many names but one thing is certain, it is the most powerful dragon in the entire realm, there are four dragons in the realm representing the four kingdoms, the supreme calamity dragon from the eastern kingdom, the supreme sky destroyer dragon from the northern kingdom, the Armageddon dragon from the western kingdom, and the world feeder dragon from the southern kingdom. These dragons roam the realm to check on humanity, if the kingdoms go to war the dragons also fight the kingdoms resulting in the destruction of the realm."

    "What does the dragon have to do with me?"

    "Well... the dragons have a good nature around the 3 kingdom heroes, so much so that they will help them if they ever meet one another."

    "Now I get it, but why I am here and how did the dragon help me."The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

    "Continuing the story, the dragon dropped you in the far east of the forest which our hunter elves carried you here into the village, you were badly scared, shot and burned, I couldn''t imagine what happened to you, and luckily the dragon used powerful magic to keep you barely alive to carry you here to us."

    "Badly scared, shot, and burned?"

    "Yes!"

    Now I know what happened to me, after hearing those words I remembered those asses who almost killed me, my heart and mind was deeply in sorrow and rage to those who wronged me.

    "Can you go out for a while Doramu, I need some space to think everything right."

    "Of course hero, the medics and I will be outside"

    "Thank you!"

    Once the door was closed, I immediately burst out my rage into the house and got into a rampage inside the house.

    "Damn it all!"

    "How dare they, do this to me! How stupid of me to believe in their fucking game!"

    With every word came a heavy load on my heart, I began to feel really bad chest pain and more destructive intension on them, my entire body fell to the floor because of the pain the rage consumed me! It felt like it was my end, luckily the medics and Doramu heard my pain and rushed in the house.

    "Hero-sama, what happened? Quickly heal him"

    "Yes, Doramu!"

    After they healed me the pain was gone and I have come back to my senses again, although the anger was still in my mind.

    "Ahhh... thank you!"

    For some reason after that attack I felt more powerful and active, I think that was just adrenaline pumping because I survived a heart attack.

    "Are you alright now hero, or do you need more time alone?"

    "No, I''m fine now I really want to go to the village and explore."

    "Well, let''s not delay your request hero let us meet with the village chief. The village loves and adores the summoner hero because of his carefree and love for nature, so much so that the chief also chose the summoner class."

    "Wow... this village is cool!"

    We went to the village capital and saw a whole family of elves and all of them were nice to me and everyone was so kind and generous to each other, it felt like a true fantasy world which I love to be in, and now I am in the most peaceful and helpful environment in the realm.

    "The village chief''s office is just ahead, hero-sama."

    "Thanks, Doramu."

    After walking we found the village chief''s office and we immediately went inside to find him sitting in his chair.

    "Hero come in, I was hoping you would be alright and well, after your injuries. I am Darwin Elvenstein II, the current chief of the deep elven village"

    "I am Ender Yamashita the summoner hero, thank you for taking me in!"

    "No problem, the hero of the village and my favorite hero, we don''t deserve your thanks."

    "Alright then!"

    "HAHA... so what brings you here to my office."

    "Well... I came here to thank you and for letting Doramu take care of me!"

    "Really is that all you want? I am the village chief after all do you want something else by any chance?"

    "Not really, thank you"

    "Hero-sama the village chief gave you an opportunity for something, do you wish to decline his generosity?"

    "That''s right Hero, So do you want anything?"

    I have not thought about it yet, but seeing the village chief a summoner and super buffed with muscles maybe I can gain some experience and levels by training here.

    "So I thought about it, can you please help me be stronger!"

    "Ehhhh...?"

    "Yes! I am currently weak and in need of fighting experience to help defend the kingdom from the tree of sin, so please help me train!"

    "Hmmph... your just like the past summoner hero I adore so much."

    "Yes, hero-sama is just like the past hero all be it more youthful and energetic."

    "Past heroes?"

    "Yes, the people of the village live under the divine protection of the summoner hero, we adore the hero so much that I became the class of the past summoner hero, I Darwin Elvenstein am the summoner hero''s teammate."

 [chapter 10]- [REAWAKENED PART 2]

    "Teammate!?"

    "Yes, I believe the past hero-sama was a female, if I remembered correctly her name was Angeline am I not wrong Darwin?"

    "Yes, the past summoner hero was the best, unfortunately, she died because of protecting this village from death and destruction."

    "She died by protecting this village?"

    "Yes, when the wave began the 2 other eastern heroes were of defending the main kingdom, Angeline was still in the village along with me and her party, to stop the destruction of the village."

    "And since hero-sama was the only hero defending this village she gave up her entire life to protect this village from destruction and since then we lived under the protection of hero-sama and her blessing to the village."The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

    "Hence we cherish her protect her cause by helping others in the forest, it''s the little thing we can do to repay her life for us elves."

    "I-I am sorry, I am not the hero you swore to help, I am just a kid who doesn''t know any better."

    "It''s alright, as long as you swore to protect the kingdom and the village, we will give the best help we can offer to the summoner hero."

    "Thank you, Chief"

    I felt a bit of relief knowing that someone in the kingdom adores the hero before my arrival, I guess that not everyone in the kingdom hates the summoner class.

    "Okay, we will begin training tomorrow sunrise! Be prepared for some tough training Ender Yamashita, I''ll be rough to you!"

    "Yes, thank you!"

    After my encounter with the chief, I am more than ready to train and learn new summons and tricks to make me stronger.

    "I will save this village and the kingdom Angeline, Watch me!"

 [CHAPTER 11] - [TRAINING PREPARATION AND AFFINITY OF CALAMITY

    "Oi, Ender wake up, it''s time for training I''m going to be rough with you today!"

    "Hngggggg"

    "What was that? Wake up now you worthless hero."

    "Okay, fine"

    "Wait, Ender, I want to give this to you my master will surely want me to give you her prized equipment"

    "We made our village blacksmith modify the torso to fit you and we also changed the type of tunic for your cloak, to make more summons and make them do more damage."

    When I laid eyes on the armor bestowed upon me by the chief, it was pure golden white with a giant ruby in the center and a cloak of white fur of an animal, the armor was stunning and strong it was the ultimate armor.

    "What, no I can''t accept this! This was Angeline''s armor."

    "No, we live under the divine protection of the summoner hero. The kingdom needs your protection and this is what we can give to you, to help you in your mission."

    "Thank you, chief!"

    "Yeah, now go change on your equipment you''re going to need it for the training and I also prepared a weapon for you."

    After the chief gave me the armor I got ready in my wear and prepared the worst will come for me, the armor fits perfectly and with a sleek white and gold look to it, it almost feels like I''m some kind of saint. I went out of the house and went to the location the chief told me to go to.

    "Let''s see the blacksmith."

    I asked the residents about the blacksmith and it led me here.

    "Hello!"

    "Ahhh... Ender come here, take a look at the whip I made."

    "WOAH!"

    "I have never seen such magnificent art, the whip is shaped like a sword and the edges are really sharp!"

    "Yeah, I made it so that you can use elemental changes to your whip."

    "Thank you!"

    "No problem, your our hero after all. So what are ya going to name it?"

    "Name?"

    "Yeah, it''s a shame that good-looking whip doesn''t have a name."

    I was forced to give my whip a name, I wanted to name it something I know and like and the whip looks like something out of a myth, I made my choice.

    "I''ll name it Dundelir!"

    "Dundelir?"

    "It''s a weapon from my world, it was a sword that was sharp and long, hence I name it Dundelir."

    "Ahhh... sounds about right."

    "Okay... meet me at the eastern part of the village, we will begin the training there."

    "Okay!"

    After that I went directly to the east part of the village where we will meet, when I arrived there Doramu was also there.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

    "Doramu!? What are you doing here?"

    "I came here to check your affinity hero-sama"

    "Affinity?"

    "Yes, Affinity is the element from your heart that gives you special elemental powers, for instance, a fire affinity gives you stronger fire attacks."

    "Or like mine a lightning and nature affinity, although lightning is hard to come by I can make my own lightning by using "change element" skill."

    "Not only does affinity give you certain elemental boosts, but it also makes you more powerful depending on the environment around you."

    I was intrigued about this so-called "Affinity" I never knew what elements I have in store.

    "So how do I know which element I got?"

    "Well... that''s why I brought Doramu, to check your affinity."

    "Ahhh... now it makes sense why Doramu is here."

    "Now shall we begin hero-sama?"

    "Y-Yes, of course"

    "Okay time to check your heart."

    After briefly touching my heart, Doramu screamed and fell to the ground with no explanation.

    "Oi... Doramu what happened? Explain yourself."

    "C-Chief are you sure that is the summoner hero?"

    "Ehhh...What''s this all about?"

    "H-His affinity, its double dark."

    "W-What, impossible! No records of past heroes have shown results of "the calamity" "

    "What, what happened? What is double dark, what is the calamity?"

    "Doramu, check his mind if he truly is the summoner hero."

    "Understood, chief."

    "What''s happening?"

    After that confusing moment from Doramu, the chief suddenly holds me really tight, and Doramu about to touch my forehead.

    "Wait chief, what are you doing?"

    "AGGGGHHH!"

    When Doramu touched my forehead I had an intense headache and moments from the past rushing in my head.

    "It will be done quickly, Ender."

    "Doramu well?"

    "No doubt he is the legendary summoner class."

    "Impossible! The calamity bearer is the summoner hero?"

    "Oi... get off of me!"

    "Ohhh... sorry Ender, I was a bit rough on you."

    "A little rough is quite the understatement I can''t breathe well and my mind got all dizzy, what happened?"

    "We wanted to make sure you were the actual summoner hero, so we want to see your memories to be sure of it."

    "Why? And more importantly, why did Doramu fell?"

    "You still don''t understand anything at all huh?"

    "Yes!"

    "You see hero-sama, a person can only have 2 different types of affinity, and these elements are fire, lightning, water, and nature. You might be quite knowledgeable about this do you?"

    "Yes"

    "But there are 2 rare elements being light and dark, Heroes of the realm have only a few of these rare elements."

    "I see, but why did Dorumo scream? And why do you call me the calamity?"

    "Well... A normal person might have 2 affinities and a chance to have a rare element, a person should not carry two of the same kind of elements, not even the basic elements."

    "Why?"

    "In the legends, a series of a more devastating calamity than the "tree of sin" was written, it said that "the one who stops the great calamity holds a more realm destroying power" that was referring to the 12 legendary classes, we did not believe in such a legend ever happening."

    "Until the past sword hero Vincent, also has a double affinity for the fire element, and when he was in a rage, he nearly destroyed the northern kingdom and burned everything in his path, until the other 11 heroes banded together to kill the "bearer of calamity", since then more heroes have brought results of the double affinity of some elements."

    "The rare elements are much worse, the last survivors of the southern kingdom, reported having gotten dizzy and blind after seeing the bright light."

    "It was the light element."

    "Yes, although it stopped really quickly because the other two heroes knew what happened and ended the hero''s life."

    "Now I get it!"

    "Ender, do you realize why your stats and mana were not increasing at all?"

    "Yeah! It bothers me so much."

    "That''s because of your double affinity with darkness, you were able to summon strong summons but your mana can''t compensate for the stronger summons.

    "Yeah! I can''t fight at all during the last "fruit" fell."

    "Your stats increased now because of your traumatic event with your allies, leading to a flow of sorrow and anger in your heart which made you more powerful, that''s the bad thing about the dark element, it uses anger and sorrow to make you powerful."

    "In history, there was never a hero with the affinity for dark until you came and brought also "the calamity" with you."

    "I see now, I am useless after all, they were right I would have been better to kill me to stop a greater evil."

    "Hey, not all heroes carrying "the calamity" is bad"

    "As long as you keep your calm and never get outraged your good to go!"

    "So what about your training you still have work to do, come on Ender you need to be ready for what comes next."

    "Chief speaks of truth Hero-sama, let''s not dwell in the past now."

    "Yeah!"

    I realized it now that, these people are not just friend who cares for me because I am their protector, they care for me because they want me to become stronger it''s strange I have never felt any belonging in this world since I came here, but now I felt like they were my family.

    I made my mind to not become stronger but to also protect my village from the wave, whatever it takes!

 [CHAPTER 12] - [THE DUNGEON PLAN AND A FINAL HELP]

    "Hmmph"

    "You''re doing good Ender!"

    "Thanks, chief!"

    A week has passed and it is the last day of my training, I learned so much from this week about efficiency and my class in general. I learned to climb and run on large tree branches, I also learned that the elements around us can greatly affect my summons and fighting skills and techniques, more music for my fluke, and much more. I have learned and experienced so much.

    "It''s been about a week since I started, the work paid off. Thanks, Darwin!"

    "Ahh...No problem, we love to help our fellow hero!"

    "Owww yeah, we had reports on the other two heroes wandering the forest, we don''t know their objective but reports from our scouts say that they were looking for your body for a burial."

    Yeah, the other two heroes never knew about what happened to me because of those assholes who tried to kill me, I never wanted to hide my identity but for this situation, it can''t be helped I need to go to the kingdom for something important.

    "Ender anything wrong, you were spacing out?"

    "Ahhh... no I''m fine."

    "Good, well we need to talk about the dungeon you''re going to raid."

    "Okay"

    "Well, let''s go to my office and plan it."

    "Okay"

    We headed to the chief''s office and when we got there we met a few elves and a few humans who were sitting at the long table.

    "Good afternoon chief!"

    "Hello everyone let''s get to the discussion."

    I have never seen so many people discuss over a dungeon raid before, in the game I just click the location and it sends me to the location.

    "Chief, I have arranged the team you have assigned me for."

    "Mmmhmm... thank you major!"

    "Wait, team?"

    "Yes, the summoner class is weak physically and the summons is no good too, so you need team support."

    I have never heard a more brutal response than saying your "Divine protector" is a weak person.

    "Major, apologize!"

    "What, but I''m telling the truth"

    "Haaa... sorry Ender, this is Major Oakley he is the one who controls the elven battle force, he tends to be rude at first when meeting someone weaker than him."

    "Weaker" huh, well I have no objection to that since I am useless without my summons and I am bad when using weapons.

    "Anyway back to the point, this is your team you will be handling and will help you through the dungeon."

    "No, I refuse to have a team to carry me, it''ll be a burden anyway to handle a group."

    Screw having a team, I''ll never work with anyone again I''ll have the risk of getting betrayed in this world and killing me in the process it''s better to do things my damn way, without some people being a burden to me.

    "Whaaa... hey hero we are not weak, this hero has no taste in anything whatsoever!"

    "Shhh... M-Maller y-you''re going to make hero-sama mad."

    "Outrageous, hero you won''t last a day in there"

    "H-Hero we want to help you"

    Screw those four "teammates" of mine one wrong move and they''ll kill me in the spot.

    "Hey Ender, where are you going with this."

    "Chief, I never wanted a team in the first place and I can handle surviving a simple dungeon."

    "Hey summoner hero, you''re going to die in that dungeon and you''ll be truly useless now!"

    "And the fact you''re already pretty useless and weak you''ll have no chance of surviving if I were you I''d chicken out of this and just recruit us."

    These people are now starting to get on nerves and the feeling of killing them even makes me happier.

    "Enough everyone, we need to acknowledge the hero''s choice he will be the one doing this dungeon raid."

    "Chief!"

    At least someone can help me at this time.

    "However Ender, you must let us see if you are really able to overcome the dungeon by fighting everyone in the room at once."

    "Why?"

    I was confused about the statement that Chief Darwin said about fighting everyone in the room, a one vs. six people with amazing stats and experience is no joke especially since my class is weak and I can''t keep up with six people at the same time.

    "The dungeon is home to monsters everywhere and with high levels and some monsters from the "fruit of sin" taking shelter in the dungeon sometimes in hoards of up to three or ten, that''s why I need to know how strong you are before leaving without a strong team to help you. Or else you''re not going to survive."Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

    "What you mean is that if I can beat the six of you, I can go without a team?"

    "Yes, but only if you don''t die during this test."

    "Die?"

    "Yeah, we won''t hold back just because you''re a hero it''ll just be the same if you go to the dungeon unprepared."

    The stakes are high just to enter by myself but since I already made a stand I can''t back up on it or else I''ll be a fool to everyone for looking so cool.

    "I accept, even if the stakes are high like hell I''d need help from a team."

    "Damn, this hero is getting on my nerves."

    "Well that settles it, we fight now we won''t be holding back Ender even if it means killing our divine protector."

    "Fine."

    This is the battle between life and death for me if I can''t win I''ll make a fool out of myself and since these people are higher and have more experience, I need to win at all costs.

    Well he is more bite than bark than I thought at first, now fighting these six monsters are going to be more harder than expected, at least these other four are manageable with stats like these but the problem is those two buffed monsters.

    "Here"

    "What''s this?"

    "It''s four mana potions to help you."

    "Give everything you have on us, we won''t hold killing you."

    "No, I won''t need these"

    "Why?"

    "It''s all about survival in a dungeon, and a test of strength for me using that beats the purpose, does it?"

    "Hmmm... you do show some strength, I hope it''s not just a play"

    I was worried with facing six opponents at once but since I''m used to facing hordes of monsters I lost my fear, but the fact that all of them are experienced and buffed terrifies me, seeing that my stats are under performing me.

    "Ender, get ready were going to start. Prepare yourself for your death"

    "Yeah, I''m going to win still so no problem."

    I''m being as cocky as ever despite under estimating those six people who challenged me and giving me a serious look.

    "Summo-"

    "Hando Paralyze!"

    "Sando spell curse!"

    "Wha...!"

    "Hmmm... being cocky at the start of the match is stupid summoner hero, now time to meet your maker!"

    The major jumped with a strong force and appeared at the sky holding his sword prepared to decapitate me, smiling as he descends down."

    "Hmmm... who decides when I''m going to meet my maker? Definitely not you major."

    "Huh..., what are you yapping about?"

    "Major above the hero''s head!"

    "Whaaa... a steel spiked turtle?"

    "Zando water sprout!"

    "Ohhh no you don''t, don''t think you can escape that quickly"

    "Thunder Phoenix!"

    "What, impossible a phoenix arose behind him! What is this power from him?"

    "Water conducts electricity naturally I''d use it to stop your escape from me"

    *ZTTTT ZTTT*

    "AAAARRRGGHHHH!"

    "Major!"

    "Major are you okay?"

    "Impossible, He would have not used a spell or even move because of ˇ¸spell curseˇą and ˇ¸paralyzeˇą how did he manage to do it?"

    "Ender used a large amount of mana to use lightning phoenix even though it''s sunny, and that turtle he used also cost an amount since he used ˇ¸Change propertyˇą on it."

    "You may be wondering how I was able to summon these two, well for starters I was already short on mana at this point, and so I borrowed some"

    "Borrowed from? And how is he moving with the spell still in effect?"

    "C-Chief, I''m getting drowsy"

    "It''s like we lost a huge amount of stamina"

    "I can''t blame you for it, look underneath"

    "Whaaa... water leach?"

    "Yeah, a water leach depletes mana and gives it to me"

    "How did you do this? We never knew it was planted?"

    "Well, I may be weak and useless but I strategize before I fight."

    "I summoned these creatures before the fight happened and used you two for mana consumption later. And since a summon is a spirit after activation it''s not a spell anymore since it has a mind of its own."

    "Ender, you learned quite much of our training I am proud of you."

    "Thanks, chief"

    "However this is not the time to congratulate you, we have only begun!"

    "HIIIIIYAAAA"

    "Summon fire golem!"

    "A golem!"

    "Yeah, it''s my strongest summon and it costs a fortune on my behalf so I can summon only 2 per fight."

    "Don''t forget about me, summoner hero! I''m not done yet."

    Shit, with both the golem and the major fighting me I''m having a hard time with both of them at once.

    "Summo-!"

    "No, you don''t!"

    "GYYYYAAA!"

    The major kicked my body with great force and was which made my body fly straight to the wall and running toward me ready to stab me with his sword.

    "Paralyze!"

    "GAAAHHHH!"

    "Spell Curse!"

    *WHIIPP*

    *CLANK*

    "Oi Major, enough we don''t intend to kill Ender. Just enough to make him unconscious"

    "I don''t intend to stop just there, I have been ordered to eliminate the summoner hero, whose action threat the kingdom, and I will kill anyone who supports him."

    Once I heard those words, I already know who''s responsible for trying to kill me for anything.

    "What, nonsense who ordered you?"

    "The Senator ordered us to kill him, he pays a good fortune just to send him dead or alive, I had planned to send my party to lead Ender to the dungeon and kill him there, a perfect plan until he disagreed to it and now here we are."

    *CLANK*

    I have heard a lot from that, it seems that I can''t trust anyone from now on and my heart is getting faster and more heavy than usual.

    "Move away chief, this hero has killed so many innocent people in the kingdom he must be punished for his deeds."

    "I refuse!"

    When I heard those words I felt a bit of relief and gratitude that someone is by my side.

    "What, you know you''ll get killed by not moving away."

    "No matter what you say Ender did nothing wrong as to kill the innocent, this is surely a misunderstanding I have not seen him anywhere outside the kingdom."

    "Blunder, guess I have to kill you too I didn''t want to kill any more than one person, well maybe I can get an extra for a supporter of the "summoner of demons", I suppose."

    "A-Angeline, I''m so sorry I couldn''t keep your promise and Ender as well survive and go to the dungeon that is my last wish for you to be stronger."

    I grew stronger but I can''t control my body at all the calamity has taken over my body and has consumed my pain into rage and destruction.

    "W-We need to report this!"

    "RUN!"

    "Calm down Ender, calm down don''t let it consume you!"

    "W-Who''s there?"

    "Oi, Ender don''t go too far down"

    "C-Chief?"

    "Ender, I am sorry for being weak to protect you from the hands of evil."

    "N-No, thank you chief for teaching me and guiding me."

    "You made it your own way, I simply just watched you do hard work. It was you who created a path that made you stronger, thank you."

    "Chief, UWWWAAAAA!"

    "It''s okay Ender, you don''t need me at all go to the dungeon and conceal yourself until you become even stronger, I believe in you."

    Once I heard the deceased chief''s voice I was finally in control of my body, and my rage subsided and I saw the dead body of the major and the decapitated Darwin Elvenstein.

    "Thank you, Chief."

    I buried both of the bodies far away from the village and I headed to the village and I was supposed to report the incident but I was too late.

    "The summoner hero killed Major Oakley and the chief!"

    "What!"

    "He decapitated the major and the chief."

    "The rumors are true then."

    "Shit, I was too late"

    I was framed once again, I relived my trauma again but that won''t get to me easily although I do have so much hatred for everyone now and a reason to never trust anyone ever again.

    "I need a plan, hmmm...."

    I figured out my plan, I summoned a dog and stole a mask from one of the vendors, and hid amongst the crowd.

    "The chief said everything is in his office and the materials I need to traverse the dungeon."

    I went to his office and quickly grabbed the materials I need such as food and other stuff, I realized that the chief was the only one helping me and also Dorumo, but I guess he''s also against me now.

    "Why are you late hero?"

    "Dorumo?"

    "Yes, your old friend."

    "Well, I''m going to go already."

    "I heard everything hero-sama"

    "So what, you''re going to capture me?"

    "No, in fact I''m waiting for you to go to the dungeon."

    "What do you mean?"

    "I saw what happened hero-sama, I wish to help you but this was for you to control your calamity urges."

    "You saw w-what happened and didn''t help at all."

    "I hate myself for this and I regret everything for this, so please forgive me hero-sama I am but a burden to your mental state, so please let us move on with this."

    "How can I "move on" if someone who treated me died!?"

    "...."

    I still have the pain lingering in my heart and the wrath still present, but that won''t stop anything I do and accomplish from now on.

    "Fine, I''ll forget everything so please help me Dorumo."

    "Yes, I will hero-sama!"

    "I guess you really want an apology, well I forgive you for now."

    "Thank you hero-sama, now let''s go to the "first dungeon"."

    "Teleport!"

    When Dorumo said those words I saw a gleaming light and when I opened them again we were no longer in the office but in some sort of dungeon in the deep forest.

    "Welcome to the "First dungeon" hero-sama."

 [CHAPTER 14] - [SUMMONER DUNGEON RAID: DAY 1 AND DAY 2]

    "So this is the first dungeon chief Darwin was talking about." (Ender)

    "Yes, I came here to open it for you." (Dorumo)

    The dungeon is inside a cave and has an old door with vines growing from it and with the symbol of the summoner class at the center of it.

    "Dorumo I have a question." (Ender)

    "Yes what is it hero-sama?" (Dorumo)

    "Why do you need to come here, why can''t I open it by myself since it''s my class it should respond to me opening it." (Ender)

    "Interesting question hero-sama." (Dorumo)

    "I was just wondering why I can''t open it but you can." (Ender)

    "the dungeon only responds to a special chant I can only use and chanting it requires a lot of mana to even open. Your mana count is much lower than a normal adventurer at this level." (Dorumo)

    "Makes sense, I get it now." (Ender)

    "Well then let us open this dungeon up." (Dorumo)

    Dorumo chanted strange words that I wasn''t able to understand but somehow the symbol started to glow and with some time the door fully opened and a wave of bats flew out of the dungeon.

    "That took more mana than I thought, your trip must be worth it since it''s going to take me a while to recover this much mana hero-sama." (Dorumo)

    "Yes, of course, thanks again." (Ender)

    "The chief already told you the rules before entering the dungeon right?" (Dorumo)

    "Yes" (Ender)

    "Since the soldiers are wary of you, I will cover for your disappearance and everything else." (Dorumo)

    "Thank you Dorumo for everything you have done up until now." (Ender)

    "Yes, I will willingly help the summoner hero as long as it is for the good of the kingdom." (Dorumo)

    "Right." (Ender)

    "Good luck hero, I will be taking my leave now." (Dorumo)

    "Okay, goodbye Dorumo may we meet again!" (Ender)

    Thank goodness Dorumo did not read my mind up until the fight since the reason for me being this motivated was because I wanted revenge for the things the senator has done to me up until this point. I was ready to give up any humanity to the kingdom I had before.

    "Let''s see, the dungeon has three floors total and two floors have not been recorded." (Ender)

    When I went down further the door suddenly closed and I was locked inside and the light that shined outside the giant door disappeared and the dark covered everything in sight.

    "I forgot I was locked here in total darkness, thank goodness I knew how to change elements before." (Ender)

    "Summon Dark Wolf pack!" (Ender)

    *fluke plays*

    "Change element: Fire Wolf pack!" (Ender)

    "Thanks to this I can now see clearly, now time to find the stairs to the second floor." (Ender)

    *Bow fires* (from an undead skeleton)

    "Yeah, I forgot this place was infested with monsters and undead" (Ender)

    Thankfully my summons can control that so I have nothing to worry about, I need to order them to protect me and find the second floor since I have nine summons available I can make the other three wolves find the stairs.

    *Fluke plays*

    "Change order: Scout" (Ender)

    *Awooooo*

    "Thank goodness, I can see what they''re seeing in the map so I can find the stairs more quickly now time to loot anything in this floor if anything possible." (Ender)

    After a long hour of looking for loot on the first floor I came to realize that every nook and cranny has been looted, I fought all the undead that was still roaming around and all I got were exp..

    "Damn, I thought this place is a bit stored with loot for me to get." (Ender)

    When my spirits were low the wolves finally found the stairs to the second floor and I rushed toward the long haled dungeon.

    "Finally, the second-floor stairs I was wondering where these stairs were." (Ender)

    I descended down the long stairs and came upon the second floor and full of joy I rushed to place my camp on this floor.

    "The second floor of the dungeon, the unexplored place in this dungeon, I wonder why this was not been explored." (Ender)

    *Step*

    *crash*

    "Whoa, traps!"

    "I finally know why this floor was not explored really much, the traps are laid in this floor." (Ender)

    "Summon dark rock mole!" (Ender)

    *fluke plays*

    "Change element: nature rock mole!" (Ender)

    With this summon "Rock mole" it can sense inequality in the ground and the surrounding but it needs sound to locate the problem.

    *tap*

    *Fluke plays*

    "Summon vision!" (Ender)

    "With what I learned from the chief, I can use this skill and use my summoned spirit''s point of view." (Ender)

    Now the unequal ground can now be sensed by me and my summons, but as I moved forward a large roar was heard from afar.

    *Scrreecchhhh*

    "What, A griffin!?" (Ender)

    The griffin charged towards me with its claws first and flew faster than the traps being triggered by it.

    "Summon dark grand turtle!" (Ender)

    *crash*

    "That summon took a large part of my mana just to block this annoying bird!" (Ender)

    *Gulp Gulp*

    I drank the mana potion I packed for this raid and change the turtle''s property to "Iron Tortoise" which lowered its attack, speed, crit. And increases the defense by 30% it''s better than the one before.

    *Roar*

    "What the hell, a ground dino!" (Ender)

    "Summon Dark grand turtle!" (Ender)

    "Shit, this place is crowded with strong monsters from the waves!" (Ender)

    *Gulp Gulp*

    "Summon Dark phoenix pack!" (Ender)

    *Screech*

    "Now that should take care of them both, time to buff them." (Ender)

    *Fluke plays*

    "Buff: Zando backfire!" (Ender)

    That took care of those two beasts of a creatures, it took a bit of time to kill them since they are five levels above me but it was no big deal to beat.

    *New summon Griffin, Ground Dragon*

    "Nice new summons and they cost 200 mana to summon so it must be a worthwhile experience to use it." (Ender)

    "Now time to go back up the first floor!" (Ender)

    When I tried to go to the first floor a magic barrier prevented me from going back the stairs, and I remembered that the dungeon was designed to keep people from going back and find the actual exit which is located on the third floor of this dungeon.

    "That''s another reason why this place was not yet been explored, it''s brutal to be here after all." (Ender)

    "HA HA HA" (???)

    "HE HE HE" (???)

    "What the!?" (???)This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

    I heard a laugh from afar it seems like my mole is still active, I knew the location to go since the echo it created became stronger once I got closer to it.

    "HA HA HA" (Goblins)

    What I saw was horrifying, a barely alive girl being raped and badly wounded by goblins it was such a horrible sight to see, I remembered the time my teammates also tortured me to near death.

    "H-Help m-me!" (Wounded girl)

    The girl cried out to me in sorrow about to die to her wounds, I was surprised she didn''t kill herself because of this pain.

    *Whippp* (Goblin attacked her)

    *Blegh* (She threw up blood)

    "HAHA" (Goblin)

    "You terrible creatures, torturing women because of pleasure! You will never see the light of day after what you''ve done." (Ender)

    The four goblins rushed towards me with spears and knives while the other one was going to stab the girl through the heart.

    *Fluke plays*

    "Zando Paralyze!" (Ender)

    "ARRGGGHHH" (Goblins)

    I hurried toward the unconscious girl and broke the chains to her hands and carried her by my back.

    "Summon!" (Ender)

    The pure hatred of my heart for these creatures have skyrocketed to the point I almost released the calamity inside me, this girl must have endured so much before I came so let me murder these goblins whose done her wrong.

    "Calamity rabbits!" (Ender)

    The rabbits I summoned came from the hatred I feel for these creatures have done to this poor girl, the rabbits chew and ate everything and devoured the inside of the five goblins. Liver, brain, intestine, eyes, and bones they ate them all until there was nothing left to be seen of them.

    "I need to heal her quickly or else she''s going to die, I guess I can make this area my camp for a while." (Ender)

    *Fluke plays*

    "Great heal!" (Ender)

    *Fluke plays*

    "Great heal!" (Ender)

    *Fluke plays*

    "Great heal!" (Ender)

    I used three great heals to just stop her bleeding and internal bleeding, if it weren''t for my summons I would have not found her. I guess being the summoner hero is also rewarding at times like this.

    *one hour later*

    "HNGGGG.... AHHHHH!" (Unknown Girl)

    "You''re awake now, nice to meet you." (Ender)

    "W-Who are you, please don''t do anything to me!" (Girl)

    "Woah, Woah don''t be scared I was the one who saved you from those goblins." (Ender)

    "R-Really? T-Thank you." (Unknown Girl)

    "Here are some spare clothes, sorry if these are unappealing for you." (Ender)

    "N-No, Thank you for these." (Unknown Girl)

    She sure is the shy one, her body type is kind of small and frail her hair is light silver and snow-white skin. Everything about her screams beautiful and majestic.

    "By the way, what''s your name?" (Ender)

    "N-Noelle" (Noelle)

    "Ahh, Noelle I see it''s a charming name." (Ender)

    "T-Thank you." (Noelle)

    "Here, eat up." (Ender)

    "What, n-no thanks." (Noelle)

    *Rumble Rumble* (Noelle)

    "Are you sure you''re not hungry" (Ender)

    "Ehhh... T-T-Thank Y-You." (Noelle)

    I cooked the meat he chief has packed and prepared for this dungeon, everything he did was grateful and I want to avenge him one day.

    "Here, drink this." (Ender)

    "Blegh... it''s bitter!" (Noelle)

    "Hoi, drink it! The herbs help destroy the semen the goblins have given to you and the magic helps your body becomes stronger." (Ender)

    "O-Okay." (Noelle)

    "Blegh... it''s bad!" (Noelle)

    "Hey, bear it!" (Ender)

    "W-Why did you save me?" (Noelle)

    "I saved you because you and I share the same torture, I saved you only for that reason and nothing else." (Ender)

    "........." (Noelle)

    "I''ll be on guard for tonight so don''t worry if you feel scared or frightened." (Ender)

    "T-Thank you? I-I don''t know your name yet." (Noelle)

    "Ender Yamashita or you can call me Ender." (Ender)

    "Okay, thank you Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    My trauma for having a team still lingers in me, I don''t know if I should make her help me in my fights, my mind is full of thoughts and fears about what will happen to me if she betrays me like the others.

    "Hghhnnn...P-PAPA HELP ME!" (Noelle)

    She jumped out of her bed and what seemed to be a bad dream, she was crying tears and looked like she went through something bad.

    "Don''t worry Noelle, I''m here it''s okay!" (Ender)

    "I-I''m sorry Ender-Kun!" (Noelle)

    "No problem, you were having a bad dream, I was worried about you." (Ender)

    "Worried? I am nothing but a worthless elf a shy and unappealing elf, I have no worth at all." (Noelle)

    She sounds a lot like me when I was still starting out as a hero, the pain, fear, and torture that has passed me have been terrible just like hers.

    "No, no one is worthless everyone has some kind of worth to them, practice and hope will guide you to become a big help and a good person." (Ender)

    "E-Ender-Kun UWWWWAAA!!" (Noelle)

    "Cry all you want, just know someone is there to support you." (Ender)

    Those words came right out of my mind, the chief gave me a huge leap when it comes to self-appreciation and helped me become a hero to myself.

    "She''s fast asleep now, I wonder what happened before I found her in the summoner dungeon?" (Ender)

    My mind was scared of the fact that getting a teammate would be a huge trouble, but since today and the way I act now, it''s pretty clear that I have changed a bit so my first plan now.

    "Make Noelle stronger!" (Ender)

    That is my first plan to do in this dungeon since monsters here are strong so she could gain a lot of exp. From them and to loot the second and third floor of this dungeon is a primary objective.

    "Noelle, I will help you for your happy future and defense I will help you through every way possible." (Ender)

    ***

    When Noelle woke up from her rest we immediately begun to raid this place, I summoned three wolves to scout from the right, while we go and scout the area from the left.

    "Hey, Noelle" (Ender)

    "Yes, Ender-Kun?" (Noelle)

    "Here, these are some arrows and a bow I found while exploring this far." (Ender)

    "Ehhh...B-But I-I don''t K-Know how to use a bow." (Noelle)

    "Don''t worry, see that hoard of undead." (Ender)

    "EEEKKKK...I-I don''t know how t-to use a bow!" (Noelle)

    "Hey, I can''t fight alone in this dungeon I might get outnumbered." (Ender)

    "Here, I''ll teach you how to use the bow and arrow." (Ender)

    "O-Okay, I-I guess I could try." (Noelle)

    After some hours of helping her use the bow, she barely got the gist of it and can at least help out a bit when it comes to killing minor annoying creatures.

    "........." (Noelle)

    "Look, it''s okay to not know how to use a weapon in day 1 maybe you just need more practice." (Ender)

    "B-But, you put so much hard work on me a-and I barely learned how to shoot the bow." (Noelle)

    She really is caring to others, I was not expecting her to be such a shy girl from her looks alone she may have a ton of admirers.

    "But hey, you got lots of experience from those undead you just killed." (Ender)

    "Yeah, I gained 5 levels from them!" (Noelle)

    "Well yeah, they are far more over-leveled than you of course you gain much more exp. From that." (Ender''s mind)

    "Look! An unopened chest Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "Wait, Noelle." (Ender)

    "W-Why?" (Noelle)

    "Noelle shoot your bow." (Ender)

    "HUH... why it''s just a chest?" (Noelle)

    "Trust me, do it!" (Ender)

    "O-Okay then." (Noelle)

    *Shoot* (Noelle''s bow)

    *CHOMP* (Mimic)

    "I knew it." (Ender)

    "A M-Mimic!" (Noelle)

    "Yeah! We could have been bitten by that." (Ender)

    "Stand by, Noelle!" (Ender)

    *Fluke plays* (Ender''s fluke)

    "Zando Paralyze!" (Ender)

    "Wow!" (Noelle)

    *Whiippp* (Ender''s whip)

    "Hmph... How''s that Noelle?" (Ender)

    "So cool Ender-Kun!" (Noelle)

    "Thanks!" (Ender)

    "That''s one cool sword? Or Whip?" (Noelle)

    "Ahhh... it''s a mix of both sword and whip, I called it Dundelir." (Ender)

    "Wowww!" (Noelle)

    "Being flattered by her makes me feel really happy, I guess its not that bad to be a hero after all."

    "Ender-Kun, Look the wall disappeared!" (Ender''s mind)

    "Yeah." (Ender)

    When I defeated the mimic the magic wall behind me disappeared and revealed a hidden chest that was unopened.

    "Finally, a good chest." (Ender)

    "Let''s see what''s inside." (Ender)

    When I opened the chest, I was rewarded a summoner cloak and various magical armor, and lots of gold and ore.

    "Noelle!" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "Here, take this armor and wear it." (Ender)

    "Huh...I-I can''t accept this!" (Noelle)

    "I don''t plan on giving it to others." (Ender)

    "O-Okay, Thank you Ender-Kun!" (Noelle)

    When she was done changing I critiqued her attire.

    "You look cute in it!" (Ender)

    "U-Um... T-Thank you!" (Noelle)

    "You''re really shy!" (Ender)

    "S-Sorry if that bothers you, I have anxiety and trust issues with strangers!" (Noelle)

    "Don''t worry, it doesn''t bother at all." (Ender)

    "I forgot that we just met yesterday, it felt like we were really close." (Ender''s mind)

    "Look Ender-Kun another chest!" (Noelle)

    "Yeah...good eyes!" (Ender)

    We ended up looting all the chest that wasn''t looted in the left part of the dungeon and taught more things to Noelle about using the bow, she finally got the hang of it and got a ton of levels from it.

    "Well what do you know...We already reached the end of the dungeon!" (Noelle)

    "Yeah, let''s head back and go to the base, my summons are done scouting the right part of the dungeon." (Ender)

    "Yeah!" (Noelle)

    *Tap tap tap* (sounds of a running creature)

    "Something''s coming!" (Ender''s mind)

    "Noelle, behind me!" (Ender)

    "Summon Dark grand turtle!" (Ender)

    *Bash* (hits the turtle''s spiked shell)

    "Hnggggg!" (Ender)

    *Crack* (turtle''s shell)

    "What, Impossible! The shell is cracked." (Ender)

    "What is that?" (Noelle)

    When I laid eyes on the creature, it was something that scared me a dark blue skin that fits well with the dark blue dungeon, scales that protect this beast, 3 giant dog heads, a level that can''t be read, it was a terrifying sight to see.

    "What, its level can''t be this big!" (Ender)

    "Noelle, ready your bow!" (Noelle)

    When I looked at Noelle, she was pale than before and she was shocked to the point of death and she was tearing up.

    "E-Ender-Kun, that''s the monster that brought me here and killed my mother!" (Noelle)

    "What!" (Ender)

    "No wonder she was traumatized when she laid eyes on that giant hulking beast, that''s the monster that has made her life miserable." (Ender''s mind)

    *ROOOOAARRRR* (the creature)

    *Bash* (hits the turtle''s shell)

    "It''s got some power to it!" (Ender)

    "Summon dark butterflies!" (Ender)

    *Boom* (dark butterflies explosion)

    "Those explosions should keep those heads busy!" (Ender)

    "Noelle, Shoot your bow while it''s distracted!" (Ender)

    "N-No, M-Mama!" (Noelle)

    "I-I can''t d-d-do i-it" (Noelle)

    *AWOOOOOOO* (the creature)

    *Bash* (hits the wall)

    *Boom* (hit''s the shell)

    "Grand turtle''s shell has been obliterated" (Ender''s mind)

    "Noelle, Get out of there!" (Ender)

    *AWOOOOOO* (The creature)

    "N-NO, d-don''t kill me!" (Noelle)

    I had no other choice, I rushed in and guarded the attack using another grand turtle, my entire mana pool was depleted giving me only one more weak spell, and it left me open for another attack.

    "E-Ender-Kun!?" (Noelle)

    "Damn it, I guess I have to go offensive now!" (Ender)

    *Fluke plays* (Ender''s fluke)

    "Hando paralyze!" (Ender)

    "What it didn''t work, i-its scales protect him from magic too!?" (Ender''s mind)

    "Go to hell!" (Ender)

    "HIIIYYYAAA!" (Ender)

    *Swoosh* (Dundelir)

    *Clank* (hits the scales of the creature)

    "WHAT! It''s scales are indestructible!" (Ender)

    *ROOOAARR* (the creature preparing an attack)

    *BASH* (hits Ender)

    *Blegh* (Ender throws up blood)

    "Damn, a direct impact is probably good, I wish I can use the bow." (Ender''s mind)

    When I looked at Noelle, she was scared and shocked at what happened to me and my blood-covered head. I can see the distress and worry she has for me with her eyes.

    "N-Noelle, this is the last of my mana, get out of here while it''s still targeting me." (Ender)

    "S-Summon dark wolf!" (Ender)

    "Thank God I summoned that water leech before summoning anything else." (Ender''s mind)

    "R-Ride this and get away from here, carry this loot and use it for your own and survive no matter what." (Ender)

    "I-I am sorry Dorumo, Chief Darwin, Anthony, Yuna. I-I was stupid and weak." (Ender)

    "N-NO, how can I leave the one who saved me all alone and about to get killed!" (Noelle)

    "I want to help you and face my past, that is what I intend to do even if it risks my life I will do that accordingly!" (Noelle)

    When she said that I knew she grew and is now better than me in every single way, her trust and belief in my strength are genuine and true.

    *Shoot* (Noelle''s bow)

    *strike* (Noelle hits the creature)

    *ARRRGGHHHH... AWOOOO" (The creature)

    *shoot* (Noelle''s bow)

    *strike* (Noelle hits the 2nd head of the creature)

    "G-GET AWAY FROM ME!" (Noelle)

    *shoot* (Noelle''s bow)

    *strike* (Noelle hits the 3rd head of the creature)

    *drop* (the creature dies)

    She shot the 3 dog head precisely where I wanted her to shoot it, and killed the dog, and saved my life from death.

    "E-Ender-Kun are you okay!?" (Noelle)

    "Y-You''ve grown so much Noelle!" (Ender)

    "D-Don''t say that, answer me clearly!" (Noelle)

    "I''m fine, in fact, I can walk just fine." (Ender)

    "Thank goodness!" (Noelle)

    After I took a break and regenerate my mana I healed both of our wounds and headed to our base camp and get some rest.

    "New summon: Houndloom" (Ender''s mind)

    "I guess I captured a new summon from that fight we had." (Ender)

    When I looked at Noelle she was a little bit cheerful, the look on her face is easily describable.

    "We got a lot of exp. From that dog, huh." (Ender)

    "Y-Yes, I gained 10 levels from that."

    "Of course you did, that monster was a hell of a tough one to beat even for me." (Ender''s mind)

    "E-Ender-Kun a-are you an adventurer?" (Noelle)

    "I can''t tell her I''m the summoner hero, it may cause her to kill me. I''ll just go with the flow for now." (Ender''s mind)

    "Yes, I am an adventurer why do you ask?" (Ender)

    "I-I want to join your party!" (Noelle)

    Noelle requested to join your party.

    Accept

    Decline <

    When she asked me that request a message popped up saying she requested to join my party, I can never accept such words anymore the damage is too great to consider it.

    "I-I am sorry, I can''t accept your request, I go alone on my adventures." (Ender)

    "B-But, I can help you!" (Noelle)

    "I SAID I DON''T WANT A TEAMMATE!" (Ender)

    "......" (Noelle)

    "I was too harsh to her, I wish I can take that back with every cell of my body." (Ender''s mind)

    "I-I''m sorry, I was being too harsh." (Ender)

    "I-It''s okay, I am useless after all and I have no skill of weapons whatsoever." (Noelle)

    "I just want to repay you with everything I have for freeing me and taking care of me since yesterday. I don''t know how to repay you except for giving my help." (Noelle)

    "You don''t have to repay me anything, it''s just instinct to help someone in trouble especially if it violates the body. Naturally I would not ignore you." (Ender)

    "But you still saved me." (Noelle)

    "I-I''m sorry if I can''t grant your wish Noelle." (Ender)

    "It''s fine." (Noelle)

    After that, we finally arrived at our camp and took a break and cooked some meat, and with stomachs full, we headed to bed while my summons patrols the perimeter of our camp.

 [CHAPTER 15]- [SUMMONER DUNGEON RAID: DAY 3 AND 4]

    When morning rise we headed to the left side on the second floor and we ventured the floor to find the set of stairs that lead to the 3rd floor of the summoner dungeon.

    "Hey Noelle, after we get out of here what are you going to do?" (Ender)

    "I-I don''t know, I never thought of it." (Noelle)

    "She probably still wants to go with me." (Ender''s mind)

    "Well you should think of it since we''re closer to getting out of here." (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "Ender-Kun, look a chest!" (Noelle)

    "Yeah, let''s open it!" (Ender)

    When we opened the chest, we uncovered even more gold and some "class scrolls" and large exp. Potions.

    "Class scrolls?" (Ender)

    "Yes, you never heard of it Ender-Kun?" (Noelle)

    "No, unfortunately not." (Ender)

    "It''s an item used to make your class proceed to the next tier." (Noelle)

    "Tier?" (Ender)

    "Yes, a leveling system that consists of 5 tiers and increasing a tier makes you very powerful, but you need specific kinds of materials to increase your tier." (Noelle)

    "So that what it is." (Ender)

    "Yeah! Never heard of it?" (Noelle)

    "Yeah, it''s my first time knowing this." (Ender)

    "So what about levels, what happens to it?" (Ender)

    "Ohhh... you need to reach a maximum level of 50 first to go to tier 2 of your class and then you reset your level and restart reaching the max level again." (Noelle)

    "What, you go back to level 1?" (Ender)

    "Yes, but your stats will be greatly enhanced so it''s no problem." (Noelle)

    It was a great problem going from square one again since my stats work differently because of my affinity and the fact that I have to experience another tragic thing before proceeding to level up and increase my stats.

    "My map stops from here but there is still a path, my summons somehow died in this area." (Ender)

    "Noelle, be on your guard." (Ender)

    "W-Why?" (Noelle)

    "My summons did not scout the remaining area here, something must have happened to them since I ordered them to scout the whole floor." (Ender)

    "Right!" (Noelle)

    "Here, drink this exp. Potion we might run into some monsters, we can at least level up a bit from it." (Ender)

    "Right!" (Noelle)

    "Summon dark bear!" (Ender)

    "A new summon?" (Noelle)

    "No, I had this one a long time ago, it''s just too expensive to summon but since it killed my wolves it must be stronger than it." (Ender)

    "By the way, what''s your affinity since you can summon dark creatures." (Noelle)

    "I can''t tell her that I have a double affinity of dark or else she''ll freak out." (Ender''s mind)

    "Fire and dark." (Ender)

    "Wow, really? I have not checked my affinity yet so that''s what I''m going to do after we get out of here." (Noelle)

    "Will you accompany me to check it Ender-Kun?" (Noelle)

    "Y-Yeah no problem." (Ender)

    *HISSSSSSS* (???)

    "Something is coming, Noelle ready your bow!" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "Summon Grand dark turtle!" (Ender)

    *fluke plays* (Ender''s fluke)

    "Change element: Grand Fire turtle!" (Ender)

    *Gulp Gulp* (Ender drinks mana potion)

    "That took a lot for 5 summons!" (Ender)

    We were wary of something coming, but it was really silent so we took our guard and waited for something to happen.

    *swish* (???)

    Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

    "There!" (Ender)

    *Bash* (???)

    "Damn, what was it?" (Ender)

    "Ender-Kun, nothing was there!" (Noelle)

    "It can''t be the enemy is invisible!" (Ender)

    "It''s a possibility." (Noelle)

    *swish swish* (???)

    "There!" (Ender)

    *Bash* (???)

    "We can''t see it, but it can''t hide its own movement." (Ender''s mind)

    "Noelle, listen well for its movements." (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "......." (Noelle)

    "......." (Ender)

    *swish * (???)

    "There!" (Ender)

    *Bash* (???)

    "Noelle, now shoot your bow!" (Ender)

    "okay!" (Noelle)

    *shoot* (Noelle''s bow)

    "DROP DEAD!" (Noelle)

    *Strike* (Arrow hit)

    *HIISSSSS* (???)

    *Gush* (??? blood)

    "It''s an invisible snake!" (Noelle)

    "Yeah, now I know where to hit!" (Ender)

    *Fluke plays* (Ender''s fluke)

    "Change order: Target the snake with the arrow!" (Ender)

    "My bears took care of that snake pretty well." (Ender''s mind)

    *drop* (snake dies)

    *HISSSSS* (Snake)

    "Yey! We killed it." (Noelle)

    "Yeah, and we got a large amount of mana from that!" (Ender)

    We ventured forward deeper into the dungeon and fought more difficult monsters in the way and gained lots of experience and looted even more undiscovered chests.

    "Phew...That strained me." (Noelle)

    "Let''s set up a camp here, so we can rest and take a breather." (Ender)

    "W-What, I-I''m fine let''s move forwar-" (Noelle)

    *rumble rumble* (Noelle''s stomach)

    "T-T-That wasn''t m-me!" (Noelle)

    "It was obvious it was you." (Ender)

    We made a little camp and got cooking on the meat that we collected from the creatures, we relaxed and fill our stomach''s until we were satisfied.

    "I''m stuffed!" (Ender)

    "Yeah, me too!" (Noelle)

    "Hey, Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "Yes?" (Ender)

    "I wondered, why you chose the summoner class." (Noelle)

    "She asked me a very difficult question, even I couldn''t answer." (Ender''s mind)

    "W-Well, I want to know the potential of the summoner class and how to use it properly." (Ender)

    When I looked at her, she looks a little bit sad I really wanted to praise her so bad, so I did that.

    "You were a great help to me Noelle, You are a very reliable person and I can''t thank you enough to help me." (Ender)

    "W-What no, I''m worthless I only learned the bow from you and I have never expected help from you, since I was held in this dungeon I expected to die here and never see my parents ever again." (Noelle)

    "Until you came and helped me, I wanted to repay you in every way possible but I-I''m always a drag to someone, so I feel worthless." (Noelle)

    "You are worth more than a couple of gold and treasure, your trust and kindness are worth more than a kingdom. That what I love about your personality." (Ender)

    "T-Thank you Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "She looks happy now, I should reconsider her joining my party." (Ender''s mind)

    We rested for the day since Noelle was exhausted, I gave her a break since she was doing everything really well and I also want to research the creatures in this dungeon while she sleeps.

    "Thank God, the chief gave me this beast notebook." (Ender)

    *Sob* "M-MAMAAA!!!!" (Noelle)

    Again, Noelle had a nightmare of her mother getting killed, I tried to support her with all my might until she calmed down.

    "It''s okay Noelle, I''m here." (Ender)

    "Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    When she opened her eyes, she gave me a big hug and cried a lot, I calmed her down and comforted her.

    "I''m sorry Noelle, I wish I can save your mother." (Ender)

    "I-I''m sorry Ender-Kun, I had a nightmare again." (Noelle)

    "No worries, a nightmare is normal for us people." (Ender)

    "But still, I wish I was there to help you." (Ender)

    "Thank you, Ender-Kun!" (Noelle)

    "She went back to sleep calmly." (Ender''s mind)

    "Noelle, I''ll be by your side always." (Ender)

    "I can feel his care for me, I really like him so much." (Noelle)

    When morning rose, I made breakfast and waked Noelle up from her sleep, so we can get going on finding the stairs.

    "Hey Noelle, Wake up!" (Ender)

    "Ohayo, Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    *Yawn* (Noelle)

    "I made you breakfast, eat up." (Ender)

    "Thank you!" (Noelle)

    "Here, I found a way to make soap." (Ender)

    "I know, women needs to take a bath, so here." (Ender)

    "I also prepared the water for your bath, I won''t peek so take a bath now." (Ender)

    "Yes! T-Thank you for the work you''ve done." (Noelle)

    "No problem, I care about your mental and hygienic health." (Ender)

    *Badump* (Noelle''s chest)

    "C-Care!?" (Noelle)

    "Anything wrong?" (Ender)

    "N-NO, It''s fine haha..." (Noelle)

    "Okay, if anything bugs you call me." (Ender)

    "Okay!" (Noelle)

    When Noelle was done taking a shower we continued on our way to find the stairs to the 3rd floor of this dungeon.

    "Well, let''s get a move on and find the stairs now." (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    *Badump* (Noelle''s chest)

    "He''s such a fine man, I wish it would be like this forever!" (Noelle)

    *Badump* (Noelle''s chest)

    "W-What are you thinking Noelle! Snap out of it!" (Ender)

    "Noelle, you okay? Seeing you space out scares me." (Ender)

    "Y-Yeah, N-No problem haha!" (Noelle)

    "Okay, but if you''re tired, tell me." (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    We continued our raid fighting and collecting loot from the chests, we have been walking for hours and have not found the stairs to the 3rd floor of the dungeon.

    "D-Dead end!?" (Noelle)

    "What, Impossible where are the stairs?" (Ender)

    "It can''t be, maybe it''s hidden in the walls." (Noelle)

    "Your right, Noelle!" (Ender)

    "N-No problem Ender-Kun!" (Noelle)

    *Knock Knock* (Ender)

    "What are you doing?" (Noelle)

    "I''m looking for a hollow space in the wall if there is anything we can uncover." (Ender)

    *Knock Knock* (Ender)

    *Knock Knock* (Ender)

    "Noelle, I found it!" (Ender)

    "Really?" (Noelle)

    "Yeah, try knocking it here." (Ender)

    *Knock Knock* (Noelle)

    "You''re right Ender-Kun!" (Noelle)

    "Stand back Noelle." (Ender)

    "Summon Dark houndloom!" (Ender)

    *bash*

    *break* (hollow wall)

    "No way!" (Noelle)

    "I never expected it to work as well. But..." (Ender)

    "It''s the 3rd floor!" (Ender)

    Upon seeing the big room, it was a maze full of pathways and what you''ll normally encounter in an actual maze.

    "Ender-Kun this floor is so big, how can we get to the end of the maze from here?" (Noelle)

    "Don''t worry, I''ll search the area." (Ender)

    "Summon Dark Phoenix!" (Ender)

    *Zap*

    "What, your phoenix died!" (Noelle)

    "No way, Summon Dark Phoenix!" (Ender)

    *Zap*

    "Again, it died by just flying past the large walls." (Ender''s mind)

    "What happened?" (Noelle)

    "Possibly a magic barrier is placed to prevent any cheating." (Ender)

    "H-How are we going to get away from here?" (Noelle)

    "By doing the normal way of going through a maze." (Ender)

    "C''mon, let''s get going." (Ender)

    "Summon Dark Griffin!" (Ender)

    "Griffin?" (Noelle)

    "I just want to use it." (Ender)

    "Makes sense." (Noelle)

    We walked in the maze wondering where this will lead us and going back if we hit a dead end, unfortunately, this floor has no treasure we can uncover since we were so focused on finding the right route to go.

    "Phew... I''m tired." (Ender)

    "Will I prepare a camp, Ender-Kun?" (Noelle)

    *tap tap tap*

    "Noelle, Lookout!" (Ender)

    *Whipppp* (Ender''s whip)

    *Hissss* (Scorpion)

    "A dungeon scorpion!" (Ender)

    "I know this thing is poisonous since the chief gave me a handbook of possible creatures in the dungeon." (Ender)

    "That means I know this thing''s weakness!" (Ender''s mind)

    "If its tail is ripped, this thing is useless!" (Ender)

    "HIYYYAAAHH!" (Ender)

    *WHIIPP* (Ender''s whip)

    *Tear* (scorpion''s tail)

    *HISSSS* (Scorpion)

    *Drop* (Scorpion dies)

    "That was easy!" (Ender''s mind)

    "Now we can move forward!" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    We continued forward weary of our surroundings for anything dangerous, we were attacked by several undead and creatures from this dungeon but it wasn''t a big deal since Noelle was really good with the bow.

    "I forgot I had an ultimate." (Ender)

    "What does it do anyway?" (Noelle)

    "Spirit morph: Releases 9 extra spirits to inhabit an inanimate object and turns into what the controller wants, the spirits can be individually assigned into what summon. The summons do not have any time restrictions, but can still be attacked and killed." (Ender''s mind)

    "Hey, this is really good." (Ender)

    "What is, Ender-Kun?" (Noelle)

    "I unlocked an ultimate that can transform any object into a summon." (Ender)

    "That''s really convenient if you have no mana!" (Noelle)

    "I know, and it has a cooldown of 30 minutes." (Ender)

    "Let''s try it out!" (Ender)

    "Ultimate unleash: May these spirits inhabit anything they please, SPIRIT MORPH!" (Ender)

    When I cast my ultimate spirits appeared and inhabited the fallen bricks, torches, and dead bodies of the creatures we killed.

    "Wow, they really appeared and inhabited the objects." (Ender)

    "Yeah, and their elements are assigned by the things they inhabit." (Ender)

    "Too bad I didn''t assign what summons to inhabit, it would be nice to have 9 great bears." (Ender)

    "Well, you just tried it so it''s okay." (Noelle)

    "You''re right." (Ender)

    "Well, let''s get going." (Ender)

    We wandered even more into the dungeon and tried to find the exit, but came to no luck in finding it at all.

    "Alright, I''m completely tired let''s make a camp here Noelle." (Ender)

    "Okay, I''ll ready the cooking stuff and the bed." (Noelle)

    "Sure, thank you." (Ender)

    "N-No need to t-thank me, Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "She seems to be very cheerful lately." (Ender)

    "U-Um E-E-Ender-Kun, I-I don''t know how to cook!" (Noelle)

    "Whoa, don''t worry I''ll cook!" (Ender)

    "S-Sorry!" (Noelle)

    "No need to say sorry." (Ender)

    "S-Sorry!" (Noelle)

    "There you go again." (Ender)

    We had dinner and fill our stomachs with as much food as we can eat, and rested for the day, and continued our journey tomorrow.

    *Yawn* (Ender)

    "Ohayo, Noelle!" (Ender)

    "N-Noelle?" (Ender)

 [CHAPTER 16] - [SPHINX OF TRUTH]

    When I waked up she was nowhere to be found and I was in a completely different location when we last rested, I was once again alone and lost.

    "N-NOELLE!!!" (Ender)

    "NOELLE, WHERE ARE YOU, ANSWER ME!" (Ender)

    "This was my first time feeling the sense of worry for someone." (Ender''s mind)

    "What if she got captured." (Ender''s mind)

    "What if she gets lost and dies." (Ender''s mind)

    "What if she can''t handle the creatures." (Ender''s mind)

    These terrifying questions fluttered my mind and traumatize me, I almost feel the anger of my heart calling out the calamity.

    "Let''s see, this maze separate other people from each other after the end of the day." (Ender)

    "Calm down Ender." (Ender)

    "Noelle can definitely handle herself." (Ender)

    "Ender-Kun!" (Noelle)

    "ENDER-KUN, WHERE ARE YOU!" (Noelle)

    "This is bad, Ender-Kun doesn''t have the map." (Noelle)

    "I currently have the map now, what should I do?" (Noelle)

    *HIIISSSS* (Scorpion)

    "What the!" (Noelle)

    The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

    "Change order: Look for Noelle!" (Ender)

    "This maze is annoying how can I find her?" (Ender)

    "My summons can find her but it will take time, better hope I can find her." (Ender)

    "ENDER-KUN!" (Noelle)

    "ENDER-KUN, ANSWER ME!" (Noelle)

    "Shit, it''s getting colder and darker." (Noelle)

    "WHERE ARE Y-" (Ender)

    "N-Noelle?!" (Ender)

    "Shit, she''s unconscious but she''s barely breathing." (Ender)

    When I looked at the surrounding, I saw a dead houndloom lying around she must''ve gotten injured because of the fight.

    "If my summons did not find her, she would have died with these creatures." (Ender)

    *Fluke plays* (Ender''s mind)

    "Great heal!" (Ender)

    *Fluke plays* (Ender''s mind)

    "Great heal!" (Ender)

    "MMMMMM...Ender-Kun?" (Noelle)

    "Noelle, Thank God you''re alive!" (Ender)

    "Huh....No, it was my fault for making you worried." (Noelle)

    "I am so sorry." (Noelle)

    "You don''t have to say sorry, I''m just really glad you are alive." (Ender)

    "...." (Noelle)

    "Well, let''s keep going, are you with me?" (Ender)

    "Y-Y-Yes!" (Noelle)

    We keep searching the entire maze for the exit and we had no luck finding it whatsoever.

    "I''m hungry, our fresh meat stock is already empty it''s already 5 days." (Ender)

    That''s when we realized that the floor that we walked is hallowed and some of the floor tiles are hard when we stepped on them, and so we finally knew how to locate the exit of the maze.

    "Noelle, I finally know how to locate the exit." (Ender)

    "Really?" (Noelle)

    "Yes, will you follow me?'' (Ender)

    "Of course I will!" (Noelle)

    "Good, then let''s not waste any time." (Ender)

    "Summon dark wolves!" (Ender)

    *Fluke plays* (Ender''s fluke)

    "Change order: follow the hollow path!" (Ender)

    My summons obeyed my order and started looking for the hollowed path and so we followed

    their path.

    "Noelle, follow me!" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "I knew it was surely the right path since the other tiles are hard and I have never felt anything hollow." (Ender''s mind)

    We followed the summons as they follow the path taking unknown parts of the maze that we did not explore yet, I knew this was the correct way we should go.

    "I know this is the right way, I just feel it!" (Ender''s mind)

    "I''ll follow Ender-Kun''s plan, no matter what happens." (Noelle''s mind)

    We followed the dashing wolves giving every trust into them and followed them, and what appeared in our eyes was the real deal, what laid our eyes was a giant doorway with a statue of a sphinx and behind it was a portal.

    "I-I can''t believe it." (Ender)

    "Ender-Kun, it''s the exit of the maze!" (Noelle)

    "Let''s go!" (Noelle)

    "Wait Noelle, something is wrong with the sphinx statue." (Ender)

    "Huh... What do you mean? It looks normal to me."

    "Look, its eyes are glowing brightly." (Ender)

    *Pew* (Sphinx)

    "Shit, it shot at us! I knew it was not normal at all." (Ender)

    "He survived that, thank God." (Noelle''s mind)

    *Floosh* (Ender jumps)

    "I only survived that by a mere second, if I haven''t prepared the turtle I would have been obliterated." (Ender)

    "Shut up!" (Ender)

    "Ender-Kun is the summoner hero?"

    "Look now, your friend is confused if you are the real deal or not, but since I know the truth you should tell her every little dark secret you keep!" (Sphinx)

    When I looked at Noelle''s face looks confused and worried, I feel responsible for what I have done to her.

    "Poor hero here was so weak he got betrayed by the one he trusted." (Sphinx)

    "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" (Sphinx)

    Suddenly I felt my heart and mind being reminded of that tragedy and I was ready to give up my mind to the calamity.

    "I know what you''re thinking, I am also truly grateful for having you as my trustworthy teammate." (Ender''s mind)

    "Well, let''s head out!" (Noelle)

    "Wait Noelle." (Ender)

    "What is it?" (Noelle)

    "The statue said that the first summoner''s treasure room was here." (Ender)

    "Yeah, he did mention protecting a treasure room and the portal." (Noelle)

    "Let''s try to find it." (Ender)

    "Yeah, there must be some good treasure in it." (Noelle)

    We searched the entire room where the statue had sworn to protect, but found no luck we tried finding any hollow tile and sensing any unleveled brick or tile for any buttons, but came to no luck.

    "It can''t be, the walls and floors are not suspicious!" (Ender)

    "We tried everything, but for now we can''t find the room." (Ender)

    "I guess, the first summoner hero was the only one able to open it." (Ender)

    "Ender-Kun maybe the treasure room is protected by a magic barrier." (Noelle)

    "Magic barrier?" (Ender)

    "Yes, a magic barrier is a strong point of magic that was naturally made or made artificially, magic barriers can have no difference in the outer layer and can mimic the surroundings." (Noelle)

    "Ahhhh... Now I get it." (Ender)

    "I thought you know this since you are the summoner hero." (Noelle)

    "No, unfortunately, I have not heard any word from it except you, thank you so much Noelle." (Ender)

    *Ba-dump, Ba-dump* (Noelle''s chest)

    "N-No problem, Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "Well then, let''s find a magic point in this room." (Ender)

    We searched the entire room again for anything that has magic but the only thing that has magic was the portal to escape the dungeon and nothing else.

    "W-Well, I guess I was wrong this whole time, sorry Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "No, we haven''t checked the portal yet." (Ender)

    "Portal? But that leads outside the dungeon." (Noelle)

    "I meant behind it, you said that it makes the surroundings normal. Right?" (Ender)

    "Yes." (Noelle)

    "The only thing that is remotely strong in magic and the place we haven''t checked is behind the portal."

    "L-let''s try it." (Noelle)

    "Yeah." (Ender)

    "I hope this works like a charm." (Ender''s mind)

    When I touched my hand behind the portal, my hand went right through the wall and I sense great mana usage in this area.

    "Noelle, Look!" (Ender)

    "Wow! It worked!" (Noelle)

    "Come in, I can''t loot all of these." (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    When we entered the wall we saw a bunch of gems, gold, and other riches but the main attraction we had was the summoner armor and a bunch of other summoner related stuff.

    "Wow...So many armors for you to use Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "Yeah, my armor and weapon was getting kind of old." (Ender)

    "Wait, the chief made this for me I can''t just abandon it like that. This armor has saved me from that sphinx laser and Dundelir has helped me in so many ways, the best thing is to repair this in the future." (Ender''s mind)

    "I guess I can still keep this on me, this armor was important to me it was given from a good friend so is Dundelir this is my lucky partner." (Ender)

    "Okay!" (Noelle)

    "But for a cloak and a secondary weapon would be nice." (Ender)

    "Noelle, you need armor how about you use this armor since you haven''t chosen a class yet you can wear any class''s armor." (Ender)

    "Okay." (Noelle)

    "By the way are you okay with that light bow and quiver, it seems to drain mana to create light arrows to shoot." (Ender)

    "Yes, I can use this to help you even more." (Noelle)

    "Well, here an electric dagger this can be used as your side weapon if you ran out of mana." (Ender)

    "T-Thank you, Ender-Kun!" (Noelle)

    "I''ll buy you proper bow class armor when we get out of here." (Ender)

    *Ba-dump* (Noelle''s chest)

    "Y-Yes, thank you!" (Noelle)

    "As for me, I can get the things here." (Ender''s mind)

    "Well... have you picked your cloak?" (Noelle)

    "No... there are cloaks that give you elemental bonuses." (Ender)

    The cloaks that were displayed in the treasure room were 4 cloaks for the 4 basic elements, and the weapons being displayed were also 4 whips for the 4 basic elements which came with their own benefits.

    "I guess, I''ll take them all, just in case." (Ender)

    "Yes, it''s better to take all of them." (Noelle)

    I took all the whips and cloaks that were presented within the treasure room, when I looked behind all the glitters and gold, I saw a chest with a very dark outer shell, and what inside was surprising.

    "Dark cloak and Eldritch whip?" (Ender)

    "A whip that is a tentacle and has an eye, in the handle." (Ender''s mind)

    "Is it alive?" (Ender)

    I touched the eye and after contact, it squirmed and began to break out of my grip. But I was able to hold it, and the eye started to glow and a message popped out of my UI.

    "Weapon unlocked: Eldritch Whip

    Weapon type: Dark

    ATK: 364

    Special: Mana steal, able to stick to its target and gives elemental damage depending on which element is being cast." (Message)

    "Able to steal mana, huh? (Ender)

    "What''s this? It only reacts to the dark mana users." (Ender''s mind)

    "This must mean I am the one that can use this since dark mana is in me." (Ender)

    "What about the dark cloak''s stats?" (Ender)

    Dark cloak

    HP: +398

    MP: +1434

    DEF: +312

    S DEF: +585

    Special: 5% mana reduction if summoning dark affinity-based summons, +2 summon slots for dark affinity-based summons, emits dark aura, spirit capture increases 10%

    "This cloak is really good, I guess I''ll wear it then." (Ender)

    "Nice, a good fit and it looks stylish." (Ender)

    "What''s this set bonus?" (Ender)

    Set bonus (Eldritch whip and Dark cloak): free casting for dark based affinity creatures.

    "Woah! Free casting for just wearing this set!" (Ender)

    "Now this is a great deal!" (Ender)

    "Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "A-Are you done?" (Noelle)

    "I-I finished looting, and sorry for disturbing you!" (Noelle)

    "No problem Noelle, I was just about to go now." (Ender)

    "Great, let''s go out of this dungeon!" (Noelle)

    "Yeah!" (Ender)

    "HHHNNGGG...it''s heavy!" (Noelle)

    "Hoi...Noelle! You don''t have to force yourself, here let me carry them." (Ender)

    *Ba-dump Ba-dump* (Noelle''s chest)

    "T-T-Thank you Ender-Kun!" (Noelle)

    "No problem, I can''t see you doing the really hard work." (Ender)

    "Well then, let''s get going!" (Ender)

    "Sure!" (Noelle)

    We headed out of the magic barrier and carried our loot, we were ready to get out of the dungeon so we stepped in the portal and was ready to leave.

    "Hey Noelle, I hope we don''t get separated again when we get out here." (Ender)

    "Yeah, that would really suck!" (Noelle)

    "Noelle, can you hold my hand so that I won''t get worried?" (Ender)

    *Ba-dump Ba-dump* (Noelle''s chest)

    *Blush* "Y-Y-Y-Y-Yeah, of course!" (Noelle)

    We held hands and we were getting transported out of this dungeon by a really bright white light.

    "Noelle, see you on the other side." (Ender)

    "Yeah, you too Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    We were blinded by the white light that covered our view and we were teleported and escaped the dreadful summoner dungeon.

 [CHAPTER 18] - [BACK OUT AND INTO A NEW QUEST]

    When the bright light faded, we were greeted by the outside world and the entrance of the dungeon itself.

    "Ender-Kun! We''re back! (Noelle)

    "Yeah, with all this loot." (Ender)

    "S-So what are you going to do Ender-K-?" (Noelle)

    "Noelle, hide." (Ender)

    "What?" (Noelle)

    Guards were rushing to the dungeon all of a sudden and it looks like they''re trying to find me.

    "The beam of light just erupted, Senator!" (Guard)

    "S-Senator!" (Ender)

    "Hmmm... This is interesting the only one who can enter in this dungeon is the summoner hero." (Senator)

    "It''s possible he went inside to hide from us." (Guard)

    "It can''t be possible, since casting the sacred ritual to open this takes lots of mana and it takes a long to cast it." (Senator)

    "He must be hiding somewhere." (Senator)

    "WHA-!" (Ender)

    "Hmm." (Senator)

    "Heh... Search the whole territory and the treetops." (Senator)

    "YES SIR!" (Guards)

    "Thank God, I casted an invisibility spell without being noticed." (Ender''s mind)

    "Ender-Kun who was that?" (Noelle)

    "It''s nothing." (Ender)

    "C''mon let''s escape before the spell runs out." (Ender)

    We silently traverse the deep forest to avoid being found out by the guards, we waited in the treetops until they left.

    "Ender-Kun how much longer do we have hide?" (Noelle)

    "Not long now, it''s already noon they must be exhausted of trying to find me." (Ender)

    "Senator, we couldn''t find any trace of the summoner hero anywhere." (Guards)

    "I see..." (Senator)

    "Yes, our escape!" (Ender)

    "Well then, set the camp here!" (Senator)

    "WHAT! CAMP!" (Ender)

    "How are we going to escape Ender-Kun?" (Noelle)

    I don''t know how we can escape from this now, everywhere is surrounded by guards and scouts to search the area.

    "Ender-Sama, do you think you are helpless?" (Dorumo)

    "Dorumo!" (Ender)

    "Yes, I have come to help you and your frien-." (Dorumo)

    "I-It can''t be, N-Noelle?" (Dorumo)

    "Dorumo." (Noelle)

    "Y-You''re alive!" (Dorumo)

    "Yes, thanks to Ender-Kun I was saved in the dungeon." (Noelle)

    "Ender-Sama, I thank your presence in the dungeon for saving the Noelle." (Dorumo)

    "Okay, but how do you know each other?" (Ender)

    "I''ll explain later, but first let''s get out of this mess shall we." (Dorumo)

    "Teleport!" (Dorumo)

    We were teleported to the chief''s office and it was so empty it was basically abandoned by now.

    "Okay, we''re safe here." (Dorumo)

    "Is this dad''s office Dorumo?" (Noelle)

    "Dad!?" (Ender)

    "Yes, she is the daughter of the chief, Noelle Elvenstein." (Dorumo)

    "Dorumo, where''s dad?" (Noelle)

    "......." (Ender)

    "......" (Dorumo)

    "TSKKK..." (Ender)

    Anger was in my heart, not because of Noelle but because of the betrayal of his comrades and the kingdom that was supposed to protect the elves.

    "D-Dorumo?" (Noelle)

    "Y-Your father has passed away recently." (Dorumo)

    "W-What do you mean?" (Noelle)

    With tears in Noelle''s eyes, I can''t help to also cry and mourn for the Chief Darwin and his kindness to me and everyone else.

    *Sob* "It can''t be!" (Noelle)

    *sob* "How come?!" (Noelle)

    *sob* "Why did this happen?" (Noelle)

    "The senator, hired men to kill hero-sama but ended killing your father." (Dorumo)

    *sob* "H-How dare them!" (Noelle)

    "Noelle, you can''t just go and kill the senator, guards might execute you." (Dorumo)

    "I don''t care!" (Noelle)

    "Noelle, NO!" (Ender)Stolen novel; please report.

    *Hug* "Noelle, I know your pain, your father doesn''t want anything bad to happen to you, leave everything to me." (Ender)

    *Sob* "Thank you for everything Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "There, there I am here." (Ender)

    When Noelle calmed down we asked Dorumo how we can get to the capital of the city without being seen.

    "I see, very well I will give you these masks." (Dorumo)

    "Masks? How are these going to prevent revealing my identity, and can everyone look at anyone''s names in a second?" (Ender)

    "Well this mask is special, you see." (Dorumo)

    "How is this mask special?" (Noelle)

    "This mask has concealing magic that hides any form of identity revealing magic." (Dorumo)

    "However, it does not conceal any information you remember and felt and cannot change your voice to completely conceal yourself." (Dorumo)

    "So how do we actually enter it without being noticed?" (Ender)

    "I believe that the back walls of the eastern kingdom are not fully guarded, meaning you can enter it without being caught." (Dorumo)

    "Okay so that''s our plan!" (Noelle)

    "No not yet, we need to account for any guards on patrol since they are searching for me after all, and likewise the senator would have had extra measures when it comes to this." (Ender)

    "Good suggestion hero-sama, I''ll think of that meanwhile rest here first since you must be exhausted exploring the dungeon and getting back in this situation." (Dorumo)

    "Yeah, thank you!" (Ender)

    "I will be back later to address your suggestion." (Dorumo)

    "Ohhh Dorumo." (Ender)

    "Yes Hero-sama?" (Dorumo)

    "Can I ask a request of you?" (Ender)

    "Surely, what is it?" (Dorumo)

    "As you probably noticed, Noelle is part of my party." (Ender)

    "What, y-y-you don''t have to say it too loud." (Noelle)

    "Ohh... Yes, I am aware of that since Noelle has a party status in your UI." (Dorumo)

    "Ehhhh... I wanted it to be hidden." (Noelle)

    "I disagree with that, I want everyone to know you are helping me!" (Ender)

    *Ba-Dump, Ba-Dump* (Noelle''s chest)

    "R-R-Really, then I have no choice but to accept it." (Noelle)

    "I can''t believe it!" (Noelle''s mind)

    "So back on topic, I want to know her affinity since it might be useful for combat." (Ender)

    "Yes, a simple request." (Dorumo)

    "Ender-Kun are you sure about this?" (Noelle)

    "Totally sure." (Ender)

    "Okay, let me look at your heart Noelle." (Dorumo)

    "Yes, please check me." (Noelle)

    "Hmmm...I see." (Dorumo)

    "So, what did you see Dorumo?" (Ender)

    "Yes, her affinity is light and nature." (Dorumo)

    "Light?" (Ender)

    "Yes, a rare element that was maybe passed down from her mother." (Dorumo)

    "Mother?" (Ender)

    "Yes, her mother also had an affinity for light." (Dorumo)

    "I guess that makes sense." (Ender)

    "But how do you know her mother dorumo?" (Ender)

    "Ahhh, she is a friend of mine before you came here." (Dorumo)

    "Wow! Ender-kun I have a rare element, I feel really strong!" (Noelle)

    "You''re not the only one with a rare element." (Ender)

    "Yes, you have the calamity right?" (Noelle)

    "The sphinx of truth said you have the calamity." (Noelle)

    "She actually believes in that trash statue?" (Ender''s mind)

    "Y-Yeah, I am the rare people to have the calamity." (Ender)

    "I was right!" (Noelle)

    "Well then, I will continue the suggestion plan, please cook and eat anything you want hero-sama." (Dorumo)

    "Yes!" (Ender)

    "Also make sure to get rest, for tomorrow will be a mind straining entry to the eastern kingdom." (Dorumo)

    We cooked the meat and eggs from the pantry and started eating for dinner, after that we took a nights rest with no worries and prepared for tomorrow.

    ***

    When morning rose Dorumo called all of us to the chief Darwin''s meeting room, and discuss the new plan he made.

    "Thank you for coming in such a short notice hero-sama!" (Dorumo)

    "No need to worry, I am the one who made a suggestion and make you do all the troubles." (Ender)

    "It was merely an easy task, so let''s talk about the plan itself." (Dorumo)

    "Yes, tell us all the details you can give." (Ender)

    "Yes." (Dorumo)

    "So the suggestion about the wall was a good idea, as I send scouts to look at the area guards are patrolling every corner of the wall and equipped with palladium armor and they held large broad swords, the archers are even worse equipped with hi-tech armor and snipers with auto-aim and magic detection." (Dorumo)

    "They won''t give me a break, huh?" (Ender)

    "I suppose not, seeing that they prepared every single solution to your magic." (Dorumo)

    "D-Dorumo, then how are we going to enter the kingdom without being seen?" (Noelle)

    "I hate to say this, but you will have to go through the kingdom the normal way. By entering the main gate without getting noticed!" (Dorumo)

    "Impossible! How are we supposed to do that?" (Ender)

    "Don''t worry, I came prepared." (Dorumo)

    "Go outside hero-sama, Noelle." (Dorumo)

    We went outside the chief''s office and saw a big carriage with a ground dino pulling it, the cart was big enough to fit a whole party and still have room for 10 treasure chests.

    "Dorumo, where did you get this big carriage?" (Ender)

    "How you asked, well look around you." (Dorumo)

    We looked around the village and elves from the village coming closer to the chief''s office and near the cart.

    "What is this Dorumo? Are you trying to capture me!" (Ender)

    "No, the villagers of the elven village gave you the carriage and the ground dino, and they would like to say farewell for your safe travels." (Dorumo)

    "W-Why?" (Ender)

    "When you brought back Noelle from the dungeon we reconsidered the words from the senator and rebelled against him, Hero-sama." (Villager)

    "They ask us to kill you, that''s damn suspicious and a bit worrying coming from the senator himself." (Elven guard)

    "He tasked every guard to find and eliminate the summoner hero for a big reward and a rank, we rather die than sell our dignity to the senator." (Elven guard 2)

    "See hero-sama, this village will be on your side through the end." (Dorumo)

    "YES!" (The villagers)

    "Ender-Kun, loo-" (Noelle)

    *sob* "T-T-THANK YOU EVERYBODY!" (Ender)

    "I bet he calls this village his home." (Noelle''s mind)

    "We prepared goods for you hero-sama. Food, water, materials, scrolls, and potions we stocked your carriage with all of these." (Villager)

    "Hero, take this." (Villager)

    "What''s this?" (Ender)

    "It''s a wandering traveler pass, it allows you to enter the village as a wandering traveler without any interrogation." (Villager)

    "Thank you!" (Ender)

    "Hero-sama, here are the masks used to conceal the both of you." (Dorumo)

    "Dorumo the plan, you haven''t shed light on the things to do." (Ender)

    "Ahhh yes, the plan let''s discuss this with Noelle inside." (Dorumo)

    "Okay!" (Ender)

    "Noelle, come on we have to discuss the plan before we head out." (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    We entered the chief''s office once more and discuss the plan thoroughly and clearly so that there will be no mistakes upon execution.

    "What you''re saying is that I will conceal myself and just enter normally through the kingdom gate?" (Ender)

    "Yes hero-sama, it is the best way to go in without any trouble and detection." (Dorumo)

    "So.... We have to enter the kingdom through the gate but will that just makes things even worse for Noelle and me if we get caught?" (Ender)

    "No, the wandering traveler pass allows anyone to enter the kingdom gate, it''s hard to get an official license since you have to travel through the 4 kingdoms and pass every town so it is a guaranteed entry." (Dorumo)

    "Okay I get that, but how can I hide from the guard when they inspect the carriage?" (Ender)

    "I planned that ahead too, here an extra cloak." (Dorumo)

    "Wow, you really plan everything ahead do you?" (Ender)

    "Yes, it''s an exceptional quality of mine!" (Dorumo)

    "Huh, how is this "spell caster cloak" supposed to help me? And it''s not even good." (Ender)

    "That cloak modifies and increases the effectiveness of the spells." (Dorumo)

    "Ohhhh, now I want to use this!" (Ender''s mind)

    "You need to cast the spell first before it increases it, I suggest you use your invisibility spell and cloak together to make your way inside the kingdom without being seen." (Dorumo)

    "Yes." (Ender)

    "Now, Noelle." (Dorumo)

    "Yes?" (Noelle)

    "You will be the one to take orders from hero-sama, that way he does not have to worry about facing people, that includes buying food and going to other places that concerns him and driving the carriage." (Dorumo)

    "Yes, I will fulfill that order!" (Noelle)

    "Thanks, Noelle." (Ender)

    "N-N-No problem Ender-Kun." (Noelle)

    "Okay, now everything is settled I hope you come back in the elven village hero-sama and be our divine protector once more!" (Dorumo)

    "I can guarantee that promise Dorumo, after all, I am the summoner hero!" (Ender)

    "I will be the one to judge that future." (Dorumo)

    We packed all of our things with the help of the other villagers and prepared our gear for the journey ahead.

    Noelle drove the ground dino and I was seated at the back wearing my magic mask and cloak, the villagers all crowded to the entrance gate of the village pleading me farewell for my trip.

    "FAREWELL HERO!" (The villagers)

    "BE BACK HERO!" (The villagers)

    "PLEASE RETURN TO US HERO!" (The villagers)

    "GOODBYE HERO!" (The villagers)

    "Bye!" (Ender)

    "The village really adores you!" (Noelle)

    "I am grateful to them and everything they have given me." (Ender)

    "So, will you really return to this village?" (Noelle)

    "Yes, this village feels like my home and refuge that I will never forget." (Ender)

    "I will definitely return and protect this  village from anything, I promise." (Ender''s mind)

 [CHAPTER 19] - [HELLS GATES PROPAGANDA ]

    We continued our way from the dark forest towards the eastern kingdom.

    "I am thankful that you gave me a second chance to visit my village and make me your party member, Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "Ender-sama?" (Ender)

    "Well you are the summoner hero and my party leader, so it''s fitting to call you that."

    "I would rather choose Ender-kun than Ender-sama it feels nicer and cuter for her to say it." (Ender''s mind)

    "So how long will this trip take?" (Ender)

    "According to the map Dorumo gave us, the village is just near the eastern kingdom but it will take a day and a half to get there." (Noelle)

    "Okay, I get it." (Ender)

    "But you don''t have to overdo yourself, we need rest too." (Ender)

    "Yes, of course, it will be tiring to travel from point a to point b." (Noelle)

    We ventured forward through the dark woods to reach the eastern kingdom this trip will take a day and a half if we go at this pace.

    "Ender-Sama, we reached the lake." (Noelle)

    "L-Lake?" (Ender)

    "Yes, is something the matter?" (Noelle)

    "No, don''t get concerned." (Ender)

    "Okay, in that case, I''ll go to the east as the map said." (Noelle)

    "The lake where I got dumped, what a fantastic memory to get me pumped up for what''s about to come." (Ender''s mind)

    My heart and mind remembered the thing that cannot be forgotten and in return, I almost lost control of myself.

    We continued down the river and went east toward the eastern kingdom filled with revenge and rage.

    "Hey Noelle, let''s stop for now it''s getting dark." (Ender)

    "Yes, Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "You don''t really need to say that, you know." (Ender)

    "Ehhh... But I like the tone of it." (Noelle)

    "Fine." (Ender)

    We set up a little camp using our carriage and cooked the meat the villagers gave us and we set up the tent we got and laid our heads for the night.

    "Hey Noelle, when we get into eastern kingdom I''m sorry if I cause you the trouble I was framed for mostly anything in the eastern kingdom." (Ender)

    "Of course, I''ll never doubt you even once!" (Noelle)

    "Right." (Ender)

    "I''ll summon some patrols." (Ender)

    "Okay!" (Noelle)

    "Summon Dark Phoenix pack!" (Ender)

    "Those will guard us while we sleep." (Ender)

    "Good night Ender-sama!" (Noelle)

    "Good night Noelle." (Ender)

    We rested our tired heads and drifted into the night so we can gather much more energy, for tomorrow it will be much more stressful.

    "Ohayo, Noelle!" (Ender)

    "Ender-Sama, look!" (Noelle)

    On the morning sunrise we noticed a peculiar burning smell coming from the bushes, we came closer to investigate it.

    "Burned bodies?" (Ender)

    "Yes, I think these are thieves judging by their class." (Noelle)

    "Now that you mention it they do look like thieves." (Ender)

    The bodies were burned to a crisp, clothes turned into ashes and skin became dark as coal only their belongings were left unharmed.

    "I guess they tried to steal from us but got caught by the phoenix." (Ender)

    "Their class only levels up if they successfully steal something." (Noelle)

    "It''s a risky class to become if you''re not confident." (Noelle)

    "What a bunch of idiots stealing from us." (Ender)

    "Maybe they did not know something was guarding it." (Noelle)Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

    "Still, they did a bad deed and paid the price heavily." (Ender)

    "What are we going to do with the bodies?" (Noelle)

    "We won''t bury the bodies." (Ender)

    "Ehhh! Why?" (Noelle)

    "I guess turning them into ash is the right way since it was their death." (Ender)

    "But still I think it''s disrespecting the dead." (Noelle)

    "They did disrespect our area, and they tried to steal or potentially kill us I think it''s fitting to return them to ashes." (Ender)

    "I-I guess you''re right." (Noelle)

    We collected the bodies and piled them over after that I summoned my phoenix to cast flame onto their bodies.

    "That should do it." (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "Let''s do a little prayer, at least it the thing we could do to respect these spirits." (Ender)

    We did a little prayer to calm the dead and angry spirits and collected the possession they had.

    "Ender-Sama, look!" (Noelle)

    "Ohh, A magic dagger?" (Ender)

    "Nope never mind it''s just poison on its tip." (Ender''s mind)

    "Here Noelle, this dagger is suited for you." (Ender)

    "Ahhh...Thank you Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "Wow...It''s like a really small sword!" (Noelle)

    "That is a dagger after all a small sword." (Ender''s mind)

    "What''s this?" (Ender)

    "A ring?" (Noelle)

    "It has a symbol!" (Ender)

    The ring was golden and has a dark symbol in the middle.

    "The other two also has the same ring." (Ender)

    "What a coincidence these two also shares the same ring!" (Noelle)

    "It is an interesting coincidence these three also have the same kind of ring." (Ender)

    "Maybe they were really good friends and have the same rings." (Noelle)

    "That maybe is possible, let''s not think of that right now." (Ender)

    "We need to get to the eastern kingdom today!" (Ender)

    "Yeah you''re right!" (Noelle)

    "I''ll pack the beds Noelle!" (Ender)

    "Yes, I''ll feed the ground dino!" (Noelle)

    "No, I''ll do it!" (Ender)

    "But..." (Noelle)

    "It''s okay I wanted to try and take care of this ground dino anyway." (Ender)

    "Just sit back." (Ender)

    "You sure?" (Noelle)

    "Yeah!" (Ender)

    I packed the beds and prepared the meat to feed the ground dino with.

    "Hey little buddy, its morning already!" (Ender)

    *Grrrr* (dino)

    *Pounce* (dino)

    "Whaa..!" (Ender)

    *Lick Lick* (dino)

    "Ahhh... Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "HAHAHAHAHA!" (Ender)

    "Don''t worry, this guy is really playful!" (Ender)

    "Heh heh, he really likes you!" (Noelle)

    *Lick Lick* (dino)

    "So little guy what should I name you?" (Ender)

    "You''re giving it a name?" (Noelle)

    "Yes, it feels like I really own him." (Ender)

    "Plus, pets should have a name it''s a law!" (Ender)

    "Really? So what should you name it?" (Noelle)

    "I really don''t know." (Ender)

    "Well how about Draco?" (Noelle)

    "It fits because it''s a dragon-like creature" (Noelle)

    *roar roar* (dino)

    "Nah, it sounds too serious." (Ender)

    "I want a name that sounds like this dino." (Ender)

    "How about... Shubaru!" (Ender)

    "Shubaru?" (Noelle)

    "Yes, it sounds really cute and heartwarming to say it!" (Ender)

    "Wow, he like cute names I wonder if Noelle is cute." (Noelle''s mind)

    "Hey Shubaru, time to eat." (Ender)

    "Here''s fresh meat!" (Ender)

    *Roar* (shubaru)

    *Crunch crunch* (shubaru)

    "Ehh... He really likes that name!" (Noelle)

    "Of course, I am good at naming!" (Ender)

    "Isn''t that right Shubaru?" (Ender)

    *roar roar* (Shubaru)

    "Wow, it responded!" (Noelle)

    "Hoi, Call her by gender!" (Ender)

    "Well, are you sure she''s female?" (Noelle)

    "Yes!" (Ender)

    "Okay then!" (Noelle)

    *roar* (Shubaru)

    "Ohh... I guess you''re done eating!" (Ender)

    "Well then, Shubaru can you take us to the eastern kingdom, it won''t take a day?" (Ender)

    *Pounce* (Shubaru)

    *Lick lick* (Shubaru)

    "HAHA... I guess that''s a yes!" (Ender)

    "All right, let''s get goi-" (Ender)

    "Ahhhggg!" (Noelle)

    *Run Run* (Shubaru)

    "She''s running a bit too fast!" (Noelle)

    "HAHA, riding this carriage sure is fun!" (Ender)

    "Yeah, but not for me!" (Noelle)

    After feeding the little Shubaru she started running extremely fast and really energetic.

    "At this really fast pace, we should reach the kingdom in about an hour!" (Ender)

    Shubaru raced towards the eastern kingdom with the help of Noelle who is controlling Shubaru, after an hour has passed we finally reached the gate.

    "Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "It''s been a long time, old friend!" (Ender)

    We arrived at the gate of the eastern kingdom waiting for the carriage to be checked by the guards.

    "Noelle you do all the talking, I''ll hide." (Ender)

    "Yes Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    When it''s finally our turn to be checked I used my legendary fluke to turn me invisible to the guards.

    "Did I hear something?" (Guard)

    "Ehh, no what are you talking about?" (Noelle)

    "I heard a flute-like sound from that carriage of yours." (Guard)

    "N-No it didn''t hahaha..." (Noelle)

    "Shit, that was too loud I''m so dead!" (Ender''s mind)

    "Hmmm..." (Guard)

    "Can I inspect your cart for any magic presence?" (Guard)

    "E-Ehh, th-there isn''t any magic in my carriage!" (Noelle)

    "Ohhh, why are you refusing?" (Guard)

    "If your cart really doesn''t have any magic at all you shouldn''t be afraid to show your cart." (Guard)

    "Captain, what is it?" (Rookie)

    "Nothing, can you check her cart for any magic rookie?" (Captain)

    "Yes!" (Rookie)

    "Sorry for the inconvenience!" (Rookie)

    *roar roar* (Shubaru)

    *grrrrr* (Shubaru)

    "This ground dino pisses me off!" (Captain)

    "Any signs rookie?" (Captain)

    "Ender-sama, I-I''m sorry!" (Noelle)

    "No signs captain!" (Rookie)

    "Huh!" (Captain)

    "R-Really, double-check it!" (Captain)

    "Ermm...no sign of any magic at all." (Rookie)

    "Only magic items are here and nothing else, she is a real wandering trader, Captain." (Rookie)

    "What, it really it must be in my mind after all!" (Captain)

    "Thank God I jumped out!" (Ender''s mind)

    "Thanks for stalling Noelle, you really are useful!" (Ender''s mind)

    "S-See, I-I wasn''t lying at all!" (Noelle)

    "Sorry miss, we really are precautious because of the summoner hero!" (Captain)

    "What happened?" (Noelle)

    "I want you to see this." (Captain)

    They showed me a magic ball that shows the actions done by Ender-sama, the evidence doesn''t make sense at all.

    "Be careful miss, the summoner hero might come after you." (Captain)

    "No worries sir." (Noelle)

    "How dare they show me those lies!" (Noelle''s mind)

    "Okay miss, you''re ready to enter the eastern kingdom!" (Captain)

    "Good, the carriage is moving now." (Ender)

    "Time to get in now!" (Ender)

    "Hey Noelle, how did things go?" (Ender)

    "Noelle?" (Ender)

    "How dare they show me those lies!" (Noelle)

    "What a terrible leader!" (Noelle)

    Noelle was furious about something and I don''t know what happened here

    "N-Noelle?" (Ender)

    "T-They lie about you in the kingdom!" (Noelle)

    "...." (Ender)

    "How dare them!" (Noelle)

    Noelle was ready to wield the light bow and shoot every single guard in the eastern kingdom.

    "Calm down Noelle, as long as I have one person that trusts and believes in me I am fine!" (Ender)

    *Ba-dump Ba-dump* (Noelle''s chest)

    "Okay" (Noelle)

    "Still, how dare they show propaganda in the kingdom I used to "save"?" (Ender''s mind)

    "I''ll never forgive this kingdom at all!" (Ender''s mind)

    "Ender-Sama we have arrived at the capital!" (Noelle)

    "Really huh, well then let''s start this whole hero thing from scratch!" (Ender)

 [CHAPTER 20] - [A JOB THE SUMMONER HERO CAN DO!]

    When we finally arrived at the eastern kingdom we immediately searched for the eastern boardroom to search for a quest, it''s basically a fancy version of an adventurer''s guild.

    "Ender-Sama, do you even know where we''re going?" (Noelle)

    "Yes, I know this place very well." (Ender)

    "I have no idea where we are, I hope to bump into the boardroom somehow." (Ender''s mind)

    "Noelle, keep an eye out for the building!" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    After walking with the unknowing crowd we were lost in the midst of all the buildings.

    "This is getting us nowhere." (Noelle)

    "You said you know this place very well?" (Noelle)

    "W-Well it''s been a long time since I''ve been here!" (Ender)

    "What about I ask the people?" (Noelle)

    "Well you can do that, but you''ll just make a fool of yourself." (Ender)

    "Excuse me, where I can find the eastern boardroom?" (Noelle)

    "She actually asked!" (Ender)

    *chatting*

    "Ahhh okay, Arigatou!" (Noelle)

    "So?" (Ender)

    "We just need to go straight from here then make a turn then you''ll find a giant white building amongst the others." (Noelle)

    "Okay then, let''s move." (Ender)

    After following the track we finally found the boardroom of the eastern kingdom.

    "We finally found it, huh?" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "But the entrance is guarded by guards, how are we going to enter?" (Noelle)

    "I''m not going in, you''ll be the one to do it." (Ender)

    "Ehhhh!?" (Noelle)

    "Oi, we planned this before we left!" (Ender)

    "I can''t go to the guild since it''s well-guarded." (Ender)

    "Fine, but what do I do?" (Noelle)

    "Just ask about the really strong quests." (Ender)

    "O-Okay, I''m going in now!" (Noelle)

    "Good luck!" (Ender)

    "Hello miss, are you new here?" (Guards)

    "U-Um y-yes!" (Guards)

    "What do you need inside the boardroom?" (Guards)

    "Well I would like to ask for a quest." (Noelle)

    "Okay, get inside!" (Guards)

    "T-Thank you!"(Noelle)

    "Wow, it''s so big!" (Noelle)

    "Now where is the quest board?" (Noelle)

    "Ahhh, there it is!" (Noelle)

    "Hello, welcome to the quest board. My name is Nene!" (Nene)

    "Hi! I''m Noelle!" (Noelle)

    "Ahhh, Noelle-Chan what quest would you like to get?" (Nene)

    "We have quests for bronze rank." (Nene)

    "I''ll take the hardest quest you have!" (Noelle)

    "HAHAHAHAHA!" (Crowd)

    "W-What''s so funny?" (Noelle)

    "Really little girl? You wanted the hardest quest?" (Adventurer)

    "Y-Yes!" (Noelle)

    "HAHA, you''re going to die without doing anything!" (Adventurer)

    "HAHAHAHA!" (Crowd)

    "W-Well." (Noelle)

    "W-What should I say?" (Noelle''s mind)

    "I can''t handle this!" (Noelle''s mind)

    "E-Ender-Sama what should I do?" (Noelle''s mind)The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

    "What''s wrong with a bronze class?" (Rudolf)

    "Huh?" (Noelle)

    "Paladin hero!?" (Crowd)

    "It''s the paladin hero!" (Crowd)

    "As long if you have skill, you can do it!" (Rudolf)

    "The ranking does not matter at all!" (Rudolf)

    "It just hinders skill, being a higher up doesn''t mean you are really good sometimes the ones at the bottom are better!" (Rudolf)

    "Sorry for the trouble, miss?" (Rudolf)

    "N-N-Noelle" (Noelle)

    "Ahhh, Noelle-Chan well then let''s hook you up with a quest." (Rudolf)

    "Nene-Chan are there any harder quests?" (Rudolf)

    "W-Well, the ninja hero already took the latest titanium ranked quest and you already took up the platinum quest today." (Nene)

    "Ohhh, I see!" (Rudolf)

    "But we still have another difficult quest available." (Nene)

    "Ohhh, what is it?" (Rudolf)

    "Well, there has been a strange occurrence in the sewers lately, the people responsible for cleaning and fixing the sewers have been reported to be missing." (Nene)

    "Missing?" (Rudolf)

    "Yes, and as for the people who have accepted the quest, both of them were gold-ranked has also disappeared with no reason why, So we adjusted the rank to the platinum and titanium adventurers who accepted the request, but they also met the same fate. We decided to take down the request instead to prevent any more disappearances." (Nene)

    "Are you sure you want to take this request Noelle-Chan? This looks like a really disturbing, even for me." (Rudolf)

    "If there is no other choice, then I accept!" (Noelle)

    "Okay, I''ll fix the reward for you and sign you up for an adventurer." (Nene)

    "Yes, thank you!" (Noelle)

    "Alright Noelle, welcome to the adventurer''s guild!" (Rudolf)

    "That''s right I haven''t introduced myself yet, my name is Rudolf Vanstrong." (Rudolf)

    "Nice to meet you Mr. Vanstrong!" (Noelle)

    "Okay, I''ll be on my way I still have a quest to do!" (Rudolf)

    "Yes, I hope we each other again!" (Noelle)

    "HAHA, yes I hope we do!" (Rudolf)

    "He really is a nice guy!" (Noelle)

    "Noelle-Chan, here is your adventurer''s id and the quest poster!" (Nene)

    "Thank you Nene-Chan!" (Noelle)

    "You''re welcome, be sure to come back!" (Nene)

    "What''s taking that girl so long?" (Ender''s mind)

    "Ender-Sama, I got the quest!" (Noelle)

    "Really?" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "Thank goodness, well let''s celebrate by eating a good meal!" (Ender)

    "But are you not allowed inside facilities?" (Noelle)

    "Yes, as long as it''s not guarded by anyone its fine." (Ender)

    "Really, that''s a relief!" (Noelle)

    "Okay then, let''s go to a delicious diner!" (Noelle)

    "Yes!" (Ender)

    We walked until we found a really good diner to eat at.

    "Ender-Sama what about that one?" (Noelle)

    "Hmmm, if that''s what you like then alright." (Ender)

    We sat at a comfortable place where I was not really visible.

    "Hello, what would you like?" (Waiter)

    "We would like the most expensive thing you got!" (Ender)

    "Really?" (Noelle)

    "Yes!" (Ender)

    "R-Right away sir."(Waiter)

    "So Noelle what is the quest all about?" (Ender)

    "Ahhh right, here is the poster of the quest." (Noelle)

    "Investigate the strange occurrence in the sewers? The rank is Platinum and Titanium adventurers?" (Ender)

    "Yes, you see..." (Noelle)

    Noelle told me everything about the quest and the mysterious disappearance and the increase of the rank because of the incident.

    "Now I get it." (Ender)

    "It''s only a job you can do Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "Nope, it''s a job only we can do." (Ender)

    "I am hopeless on my own, I need help from you." (Ender)

    *blush* "Ender-Sama" (Noelle)

    "Excuse me, the food is ready!" (Waiter)

    "AHHAA! Looks really good!" (Noelle)

    "Yeah it does!" (Ender)

    "Thank you for your feedback sir." (Waiter)

    "Noelle eat up!" (Ender)

    "I don''t think I can eat this much." (Noelle)

    "You''ll get used to the good food here!" (Ender)

    "Hai!" (Noelle)

    "So how was your first experience in the adventurer''s guild?" (Ender)

    When I asked that question, she looked down and stopped eating for a second.

    "She stopped eating, what happened inside there?" (Ender)

    "I-It was okay." (Noelle)

    "R-Really?" (Ender)

    "Yes, I was criticized when I asked for a difficult quest there." (Noelle)

    "You were being mocked!?" (Ender)

    "Yes, until this huge man stepped out and saved me!" (Noelle)

    "A huge man?" (Ender)

    "Yes! He said his name was Rudolf Vanstrong." (Noelle)

    "R-Rudolf!" (Ender)

    "Yes, the other people were saying something about him but I can''t remember what it was." (Noelle)

    "What weapon was he holding?" (Ender)

    "I did not see him holding anything but I did see him carry a giant shield and mace with him." (Noelle)

    "It really was Rudolf." (Ender)

    "Do you have something in common with him?" (Noelle)

    "Nope! It''s just a name I recall!" (Ender)

    "Ahhh, no wonder!" (Noelle)

    "Was there someone accompanying him?" (Ender)

    "Not in particular, I saw his big party!" (Noelle)

    "Did you saw anyone carrying a giant scythe?" (Ender)

    "No." (Noelle)

    "I see." (Ender)

    "Why?" (Noelle)

    "Nothing, I was just curious." (Ender)

    "O-Okay then. I''ll finish this steak!" (Noelle)

    "Okay!" (Ender)

    "I guess Akira is also doing heroic duties too." (Ender''s mind)

    "What a level between the three of us, I was never intended to be the hero of this kingdom." (Ender''s mind)

    "I was better being left alone in my own world." (Ender)

    "Ender-Sama?" (Noelle)

    "Yes?" (Noelle)

    "Hey, hurry up your portions or I''ll take them." (Noelle)

    "Okay then!" (Ender)

    *chew chew*

    *chew chew*

    "Phew, that meal was really good!" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "I''ll leave this gold here." (Ender)

    "Let''s get going Noelle!" (Ender)

    "Sure, I''ll get Shubaru!" (Noelle)

    "Please do!" (Ender)

    "We need to find a place to rest our heads!" (Ender''s mind)

    "Ender-Sama let''s get going!" (Noelle)

    "Okay." (Ender)

    "Where should we go?" (Noelle)

    "Well first we need to find a place to rest our heads." (Ender)

    "Hai!" (Noelle)

    "Let''s get going Shubaru." (Noelle)

    *ROAR* (Shubaru)

    We looked for a suitable inn to rest our heads and a good stable to put Shubaru in.

    "Noelle, let''s stop here!" (Ender)

    "I found an inn there." (Ender)

    "Hai!" (Noelle)

    "They also have a stable to put Shubaru in." (Ender)

    "Let''s go in." (Noelle)

    *doorbells*

    "Ahhh, welcome!" (Shop owner)

    "We would like to rent a room and borrow a place in the stable" (Ender)

    "How many days would you like to accommodate?" (Shop owner)

    "Maybe a week." (Ender)

    "That would be 78 gold and for the stable would be 13 gold totaling 91 gold coins!"

    (Shop owner)

    "Ender-Sama it''s really expensive." (Noelle)

    "No worries, I have the money!"(Ender)

    "Here''s the money." (Ender)

    "Thank you, here are the keys!" (Shop owner)

    We went inside the room and unpacked everything from the cart inside the room.

    "Phew, that took longer than expected." (Ender)

    "Yeah, it''s already really late." (Noelle)

    "We''ll start the quest fresh in the morning, I''m really tired from unpacking everything." (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    We laid our heads on a soft bed apart from each other.

    "Hey Noelle, you still awake?" (Ender)

    "Yes." (Noelle)

    "I really want you to know what I think." (Ender)

    *ba-dump ba-dump* (Noelle)

    *blush* "W-What!" (Noelle)

    "I''m really glad to be here, so I wanted to say." (Ender)

    *BADUMP BADUMP* (Noelle)

    *Blush* "Y-Y-Yes what is it!" (Noelle)

    *snore* (Ender)

    "Ehhhh!" (Noelle)

    "He''s fast asleep!" (Noelle)

    *POUT* "I wanted to know what he''ll say!" (Noelle''s mind)

    "Guess I''ll take my rest too." (Noelle)

    "Hey Noelle wake up it''s already morning." (Ender)

    "Huh..." (Noelle)

    "Ohayo Ender-Sama" (Noelle)

    "Slept well?" (Ender)

    "Hai!" (Noelle)

    "Good, let''s do the quest now!" (Ender)

    "Roger that!" (Noelle)

 [CHAPTER 21] - [A NEW ACQUAINTANCE]

    "We arrived at the bridge sewers, the pipe that connects the whole kingdom''s sewage and deposits it somewhere and already we can feel a menacing aura coming from the sewers itself." (Ender''s mind)

    "As I thought it really is menacing." (Ender)

    "Yes, not to mention it being really smelly." (Noelle)

    "Of course it smells, it''s a sewer." (Ender)

    "But it also has a really scary feeling." (Ender)

    "Yeah, not to mention the events that happened before." (Noelle)

    "Good thing we prepared the glow potion for this quest." (Ender)

    "Yeah, it''s really dark in there!" (Noelle)

    "Did you also prepare the food rations?" (Ender)

    "Yes, but... who eats in a disgusting place like this!?" (Noelle)

    "No matter where you are if you''re hungry you must eat." (Ender)

    "I guess so." (Noelle)

    "Well then, let''s go inside now." (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    "Be sure to drink your potion Noelle!" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Noelle)

    *Gulp Gulp* (Noelle)

    "Aha, it''s sweet!" (Noelle)

    "Huh, what''s going on?" (Noelle)

    "You''re illuminating!" (Ender)

    "Ohhh, so that''s why it''s called glow potion." (Noelle)

    "Yes." (Ender)

    "So that we don''t need a torch to use while we explore." (Ender)

    "Well then, let''s move." (Ender)

    We started going deeper into the sewers, nothing was off at the moment though.

    "Nothing seems to be showing up." (Noelle)

    "Noelle, are you sure this is not fake?" (Ender)

    "No!" (Noelle)

    "Okay then." (Ender)

    We went even deeper, it looks like we reached the kingdom''s central, in our map

    "Well it looks like we reached the city centre already, and nothing happened." (Ender)

    "Seriously, what a waste of time this is." (Ender)

    *crack*

    "Huh?" (Ender)

    "A skull!?" (Ender)

    "A skull!?" (Noelle)

    "Shit, I stepped on it!" (Ender)

    "E-Ender-Sama" (Noelle)

    "What?" (Ender)

    The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

    "Behind you!"

    *grrr* (creature)

    *crack* (skull)

    I turned my back and saw bright red eyes crawling closer to me.

    "So this is the one that killed adventurer, huh?" (Ender)

    "It looks like it!" (Noelle)

    *grrr* (creature)

    *dash*

    "Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "Summon dark grand turtle!" (Ender)

    *bash*

    "Did you say something Noelle?" (Ender)

    *Nod* "Not at all!" (Noelle)

    *grrr* (creature)

    "Summon dark griffin!" (Ender)

    *grrrr* (creature)

    The creature was pale white and resembles a crocodile of some sorts, it looks skinny as if it hadn''t eaten for days or months.

    "It''s really aggressive!" (Ender)

    "Fire whip." (Ender)

    "Huh, it that the whip you got from the treasure room?" (Noelle)

    "Yeah, I got all the elements of it and the eldritch whip!" (Ender)

    *Whip*

    *bounce*

    "Huh, i-it''s tough!" (Noelle)

    "Yeah, I guess direct contact won''t work with this guy!" (Ender)

    "Summon houndloom!" (Ender)

    *bash*

    *RAWWWRR* (creature)

    "I managed to injure this thing." (Ender)

    "W-What''s it doing!?" (Noelle)

    *Shoot* (scales)

    *crack* (Turtle shell)

    "What the!?" (Ender''s mind)

    "It pierced through the houndloom and the shell of the grand turtle!" (Noelle)

    "What kind of ability is that?" (Ender''s mind)

    *rawrr* (creature)

    *bash*

    "Hnngggg, it''s too strong!" (Ender)

    *Whipp*

    *bounce*

    "Its scales are too tough to hit!" (Ender)

    "Let me do this Ender-Sama." (Noelle)

    "Go try it!" (Ender)

    "Ultimate Unleash: May the heaven give me the power to purify those who kill, Heaven''s Bow!" (Noelle)

    *crack* (scales)

    *RAWWRRR* (creature)

    "You did it Noelle!" (Ender)

    "Thank you Ender-Sama!"

    *gush* (blood)

    *grrr* (creature)

    "It''s cowering in the corner, should I kill it to end everything?" (Noelle)

    "Do what you must Noelle." (Ender)

    "Understood Ender-Sama."

    "It looks malnourished." (Ender''s mind)

    "Light arrow!" (Noelle)

    "Wait a minute Noelle!" (Ender)

    "What is it?" (Noelle)

    "It seems it doesn''t want to fight anymore." (Ender)

    I walked closer to the malnourished creature and petted it, something is oddly weird about it it makes me attached to it.

    *pet pet*

    "Ender-Sama careful." (Noelle)

    "Noelle, can you give me the meat rations?" (Ender)

    "Ehhh, Why?" (Noelle)

    "Just give it to me." (Ender)

    "O-Okay." (Noelle)

    Noelle gave me the meat rations that we were supposed to eat in case if we go hungry.

    *fluke plays* (Ender''s fluke)

    "Sando Heal!" (Ender)

    *fluke plays* (Ender''s fluke)

    "Sando heal!" (Ender)

    "You''re healing it!?" (Noelle)

    "Yeah." (Ender)

    "Ehhh, all my effort." (Noelle)

    "Here little guy, eat up." (Ender)

    *crunch crunch* (creature)

    "Good boy!" (Ender)

    "Here have some more." (Ender)

    "Ender-Sama our rations!" (Noelle)

    "It''s fine, we already found the culprit out anyway." (Ender)

    "Good boy, eat as much as you want!" (Ender)

    *crunch crunch* (creature)

    *pet pet*

    "You''re really good with animals Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "I just felt some attachment to this little guy." (Ender)

    "Ohhhh, its scales are growing back!" (Ender)

    "Yeah, all of them so quickly!" (Noelle)

    When the creature kept eating, the scales on the back that was shot from us was healed and restored to its body.

    "What is this creature?" (Ender''s mind)

    *graawr* (creature)

    *lick lick* (creature)

    "Ehhhh!" (Ender)

    "Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "Shoo, don''t lick him with your filthy mouth disgusting thing!" (Noelle)

    *grrrrr* (creature)

    *pout* "MMMHHHHH!" (Noelle)

    "HAHA, its okay Noelle!" (Ender)

    "Shubaru does the same thing this time it''s a crocodile!" (Ender)

    "What a relief!" (Noelle)

    *grrrr* (creature)

    "MMMMHHH!" (Noelle)

    "Hoi, Stop fighting you two!" (Ender)

    "I guess we can leave now!" (Ender)

    "Ahhh, good!" (Noelle)

    "Let''s just get these scales and give it to the guild board!" (Ender)

    "Ender-Sama the creature." (Noelle)

    "Huh, what about it?" (Ender)

    "Guhh, i-its so attached to me already!" (Ender)

    *Grrawwrr* (creature)

    "Pft HAHAHAHA!" (Noelle)

    "Ehh, why are you laughing Noelle?" (Ender)

    "Nothing!" (Noelle)

    "MHHMM." (Ender)

    "Ender-Sama what do we do about it now?" (Noelle)

    "Well, let''s adopt it!" (Ender)

    "Ehhh, really we already have Shubaru to deal with?"

    "It''s okay, I''ll take full care of it." (Ender)

    "What should I name it?" (Ender)

    "Hmmm, well you like cute names so what about Milly?" (Noelle)

    "Is that what you came out within the spur of the moment?" (Ender)

    "Hey, I''m not good at naming." (Noelle)

    "Nope it sounds weird." (Ender)

    *pout* "Ehhh, Hmph!" (Noelle)

    "Ohhh, Noelle what was that name you were supposed to give to Shubaru?" (Ender)

    "Ohhh, that? I think it was Draco." (Noelle)

    "Yes, that sounds good!" (Ender)

    "Welcome to the party Draco!" (Ender)

    *grawwrrr* (Draco)

    *pummel* (Draco)

    "Arrgghh!" (Ender)

    *lick lick* (Draco)

    "Noelle, Help me he''s heavy!" (Ender)

    "You said it was fine for you to get licked." (Noelle)

    "Wha-!" (Ender)

    We walked out the sewers with our new alligator friend along with some scales to give to the guild.

    "Noelle, we''ll wait for you in the inn, you should go and report the quest and get the reward." (Ender)

    "Yes, but are you okay to walk on your own with Draco?" (Noelle)

    "Yeah, the inn is only a mile away." (Ender)

    "Okay, I''ll be waiting for you two there." (Noelle)

    "Yes." (Ender)

    "Well then, I''ll be off now." (Noelle)

    "Yeah, good luck!" (Ender)

    "It''s just the two of us now." (Ender)

    *grawwrr*(Draco)

    "We better hurry or I''ll get caught little guy." (Ender)

    The two of us ran to the inn that we rented and immediately got the keys and opened the doors as we passed by Shubaru from the stables.

    "HAHAHA that was fun!" (Ender)

    *Grawwwrr*(Draco)

    *lick lick* (Draco)

    "Hey stop that already!" (Ender)

    *Ryaaa* (Draco)

    "Ohhh, you seem to be tired well then make yourself at home." (Ender)

    "You can sleep on the carpet." (Ender)

    *Ryaaa* (Draco)

    *Zzzzz...* (Draco)

    "I guess he''s fast asleep, it must be tiring to not eat for months and get into a fight." (Ender)

    "It looks happy, not like before we met it." (Ender)

    "I think it just wants food, so he hunted people who enter the sewers." (Ender''s mind)

    *drowsy* "I''m getting sleepy too." (Ender''s mind)

    "No, I have to wait for Noelle to arrive." (Ender)

    "I guess I should read a book." (Ender)

    "Do they have comics in this world?" (Ender)

    "Ohhh they do!" (Ender)

    I read a whole 4 chapters of the comic and unknowingly I dozed off while reading it.

    *cling clang* (pots and kitchenware)

    "What''s that noise?" (Ender''s mind)

    "How dare you eat all of our meat!" (Noelle)

    "Master said I can be at home, so I took a bite!" (Draco)

    "tskkkk..." (Ender)

    "I was really hungry too!" (Draco)

    "You don''t have to eat all of our food!" (Noelle)

    "TSSSKKK..." (Ender)

    "I was going to die if I can''t eat!" (Draco)

    "You should think of the other people who want to eat too!" (Noelle)

    "Oi, what''s that noise all abou-!" (Ender)

    "Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "Ahhh Master, Elf- chan was being mean to me!" (Draco)

    *background* "Ehhh, mean to you! I was just conscious of your habits here!" (Noelle)

    "Ehhh, what''s happening?" (Ender''s mind)

    *background* "You keep yelling at me!" (Draco)

    "W-WHAT HAPPENED HERE!?" (Ender)

    "Master!" (Draco)

    "Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

 [CHAPTER 22] - [DRACO THE MAGIC BEAST]

    After Ender had finally awoken, he finally understands what happened.

    "So let me get this straight." (Ender)

    "You''re Draco?" (Ender)

    "Yes, Master!" (Draco)

    Draco looks like an ordinary child but with scales except for skin and an albino white color pigment and a giant tail on his back and judging from his body he wasn''t malnourished anymore like before we met him, and he''s completely naked except for the cloth covering his crotch.

    "He said that like I know everything." (Ender''s mind)

    "Can someone please explain!?" (Ender)

    "Ahhh ehem, Draco here is a male crawnigator a type of reptilian species found anywhere here in the realm, but it mostly uses its scales to block and not attack with lie we see with Draco." (Noelle)

    "That doesn''t explain the reason why he''s been turned into a child." (Ender)

    "Well uhhh..." (Noelle)

    "Psh, Elf nee-chan can''t explain so let me do the talkin!" (Draco)

    "Guhhh..." (Noelle)

    "Yes, explain it to me Draco." (Ender)

    "You see, Draco came from the crawdilian family of species meaning we can be found everywhere." (Draco)

    "I can see that." (Ender)

    "But there are times when a creature was born with huge amount of mana, these are called magical beasts." (Draco)

    "Magical beasts you say?" (Ender)

    "Yes." (Draco)

    "But that still doesn''t answer my original question." (Ender)

    "You see, some magical beasts have the ability to turn into a half-human using lots of mana and energy and can change back to its beast form." (Draco)

    "Now I get it, but why didn''t you just transform while we were fighting?" (Ender)

    "Remember that magical creatures needs plenty amount of energy, without food for months made me crazy and unable to control my primal instincts as a creature, Draco doesn''t have the power anymore because of that." (Draco)Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    "I see." (Ender)

    "Draco is sorry, master." (Draco)

    "For what?" (Ender)

    "Your food supply, D-Draco ate them all." (Draco)

    "Ohhh that, it''s okay you were in need of food anyway, plus you were malnourished anyway. I should be the one to say sorry to you." (Ender)

    "Huh!?" (Draco)

    "We mistreated you and we ended up injuring your tail and made you feel tremendous pain." (Ender)

    "No, Draco experiences pain frequently actually." (Draco)

    "My scales that I shoot can tear from my body and cause me pain." (Draco)

    "Really?" (Ender)

    "Yes, if possible I would like to not use it." (Draco)

    "M-Master." (Draco)

    "Yes?" (Ender)

    Suddenly a message icon popped out saying "Draco would like to join your party."

    "You want to join in my party?" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Draco)

    "Why is that?" (Ender)

    "I want to repay you for your kindness and I want to be a hero like you!" (Draco)

    "How did you know that I was a hero?" (Ender)

    "Elf nee-Chan told me." (Draco)

    "Hehe" (Noelle)

    "I really need to teach her a lesson." (Ender''s mind)

    "Is that your reason?" (Ender)

    "Y-yes, I am okay if you decline anyway." (Draco)

    "I am pretty weak." (Draco)

    "And who said I won''t let you join?" (Ender)

    "Ehhh, you''ll recruit him?" (Noelle)

    "Yes, Draco seems pretty strong and he can protect you with his scales." (Ender)

    "I guess you''re right." (Noelle)

    "If possible I wouldn''t like to work with elf nee-chan." (Draco)

    "Wha-" (Noelle)

    *pout* (Noelle)

    "Noelle, calm down." (Ender)

    "Draco" (Ender)

    "Yes?" (Draco)

    *Flick* (Ender)

    "Yeowch!" (Draco)

    "What was that for!?" (Draco)

    "Listen, we''re all family here we need to work together." (Ender)

    "Understand?" (Ender)

    "Y-Yes." (Draco)

    A message popped saying "Will you accept Draco to be in your party? >Yes No"

    Ender-Sama chose the only answer which is yes, and now the magical beast Draco is now part of his party and most importantly his very own family.

    A message saying "Draco is now part of your Party."

    "Alright" (Ender)

    "T-Thank you Ender-Sama!" (Draco)

    "Be sure to not be a back pain to me." (Ender)

    "Y-Yes, Draco will train hard to help you!" (Draco)

    "Well then, Noelle how much did you earn from the quest?" (Ender)

    "About that." (Noelle)

    *slam* (sack of money)

    "Here is everything" (Noelle)

    "Two whole sacks!?" (Ender)

    "Yes, and I got promoted to gold rank too!" (Noelle)

    "I''m proud of you Noelle!" (Ender)

    "Arigatou, Ender-Sama!" (Noelle)

    "Master, How bout'' me?" (Draco)

    "What do I have to say about you?" (Ender)

    "Ehhhh, Something good?" (Draco)

    "Good grief." (Ender)

    "Ender-Sama, what are we going to do with this money?" (Noelle)

    "Well then, I propose we should spend a whole sack for today!" (Ender)

    "Really!" (Noelle)

    "Yeah!" (Ender)

    "W-What''s the occasion today?" (Noelle)

    "Nothing in particular, I just wanted to spend time with you three." (Ender)

    "The tree of sin will bear fruit starting next week, before we fight it I wanted to spend time with you three, there won''t be a second time you can see me." (Ender)

    "Master" (Draco)

    *slap* (Noelle)

    "Why did you have to say that?!" (Noelle)

    "I thought we were family, the three of us. And now you say you''re going to abandon us!?" (Noelle)

    "That''s not what I meant by that." (Ender)

    "Maybe she is right, my mind is filled to the brim with death that I began to spat it out." (Ender''s mind)

    "Sorry for that, I truly am." (Ender)

    "Geez, mind your words." (Noelle)

    "Yeah, Draco agrees with elf nee-chan!" (Draco)

    "Well then, let''s head out now!" (Ender)

    "Are you sure? The kingdom has a bounty on you remember." (Noelle)

    "It''s okay, I have the mask remember." (Ender)

    "I guess if you''re okay with it." (Noelle)

    "Then, let''s go!" (Ender)

    "yeahhhh!" (Draco)

    "Heh." (Noelle)

    The three of them went outside of the inn and started enjoying themselves buying clothes, for themselves, buying magical items, and talking about things, they really enjoyed this day.

    "Hey, look at my toy!" (Boy)

    "You''re so rich." (Girl)

    "My family is a high-ranking noble after all." (Boy)

    "Pshhh..." (Draco)

    "Hmmm?" (Ender)

    Draco has been looking at the kids with toys for a while now, he looks at them with misfortune and jealousy.

    "Draco" (Ender)

    "Yes?" (Draco)

    "You''ve been looking at the kids with toys for a while now." (Ender)

    "S-So you''ve caught me." (Draco)

    "You want that?" (Ender)

    "N-No, I''m fine with what I have now." (Draco)

    "Ehhh?" (Ender)

    "Draco you should ask Ender-Sama what you want, we''re not going to be doing this for a bit since we have to help Ender-Sama fight off the monsters." (Noelle)

    "Yeah, this is a one-time offer." (Ender)

    "Well?" (Noelle)

    "Sorry Ender-Sama, but I don''t want toys." (Draco)

    "Why? You are a kid with an appropriate age to play with it after all." (Ender)

    "Getting food and your protection is more than enough for me." (Draco)

    "D-Draco" (Noelle)

    "Noelle it''s his choice, not ours." (Ender)

    "But still, I can''t bear you being naked!" (Ender)

    "What?" (Draco)

    Draco was wearing nothing but a piece of cloth protecting his private areas.

    "Ahhh, it''s okay clothes get in the way of transformation anyway." (Draco)

    "Nonsense, magical clothes will be effective in your transformation." (Ender)

    "Aren''t those really expensive Master?" (Draco)

    "I don''t care, seeing you naked doesn''t please me." (Ender)

    "O-Okay, if you don''t like it then I''ll gladly accept your offer." (Draco)

    "Good" (Ender)

    We walked to the magical shop where all sorts of magical things are being sold at and displayed.

    "Welcome miss and masked sir." (Shopkeeper)

    "Good day!" (Ender)

    "Is that how he greets?" (Noelle, Draco''s mind)

    "What will it be today sir. Or should I say Summoner hero-Sama." (Shopkeeper)

    "Wha-!" (Ender)

    "Draco!" (Noelle)

    "Understand!" (Draco)

    The two of them went into a fighting formation, Draco at the front to protect any attacks and Noelle at the back for reinforcement, and me in the middle.

    "Hey, since when did Draco learn to do a formation?" (Ender)

    "I taught him when we were talking!" (Noelle)

    "That''s surprisingly fast to learn for a kid" (Ender''s mind)

    "Are you proud now Master?" (Draco)

    "I guess I am" (Ender)

    "Anyway, how did you know it was me?" (Ender)

    "This place is full of strong magic-nullifying stuff, and it got rid of your magical presence." (Shopkeeper)

    "No wonder why" (Ender''s mind)

    "So, are you going to report us?" (Ender)

    "If you are we can kill you in mere seconds!" (Noelle)

    "Summon Dark wolf!" (Ender)

    "The choice is yours old man!" (Draco)

    "Nope I won''t report you or anything, I can see why you are wary of the kingdom in the first place." (Shopkeeper)

    "How come?" (Ender)

    "This kingdom has fallen in corruption for 5 decades when the Senator took over things have changed drastically. Greed polluted the streets of this kingdom ever since he arrived." (Shopkeeper)

    "But how? How can he be in power for so long?" (Ender)

    "A treaty" (Shopkeeper)

    "Treaty?" (Ender)This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

    "A treaty the Senator''s father made for the past rulers." (Shopkeeper)

    "What did it say?" (Ender)

    "I forgot everything but it said that after his death his very own lineage will be the next senator to the king and queen." (Shopkeeper)

    "Why did they agree to it?" (Ender)

    "His father was a very smart man, cunning in every way. He fooled the rulers into signing it." (Shopkeeper)

    "Is there any way to break the treaty?" (Ender)

    "No" (Shopkeeper)

    "Okay then, as long as you forget this meeting ever happened." (Ender)

    "A simple request from a hero is nothing hard." (Shopkeeper)

    "Thanks!" (Ender)

    "Well sorry for being rude to you, I will give you a 30% discount on what you need today." (Shopkeeper)

    "We just need magical clothes for this kid." (Ender)

    "Ohh, is he a magical beast?" (Shopkeeper)

    "Yes, how can you tell?" (Ender)

    "I can sense pure strong magic from within him." (Shopkeeper)

    "Makes sense." (Ender)

    "So do you have any?" (Ender)

    "For you hero-sama, I have good quality clothes for you!" (Shopkeeper)

    "Is it cool?" (Draco)

    "Yes!" (Shopkeeper)

    The old man whipped up some kind of clothes from behind the counter and presented us with a really good style of clothes.

    "Try this on young one." (Draco)

    "Wow!" (Noelle)

    Draco quickly changed into the clothes that were given to him and I was shocked to see how good he was with that.

    "You look good!" (Ender)

    "Really Master!" (Draco)

    "Yes!" (Ender)

    "Wow, you look so cool in that Draco!" (Noelle)

    "hehe" (Draco)

    "How much is this?" (Ender)

    "This usually will cost 500 gold coins but for you, I''ll mark it down to 200 gold coins."

    "Really, I think that''s too low!" (Shopkeeper)

    "It''s fine you are the summoner hero after all." (Shopkeeper)

    "Well if you insist." (Ender)

    "How does it feel on you Draco?" (Ender)

    "It feels nice!" (Draco)

    "Thank you, Master." (Draco)

    "Don''t sweat it." (Ender)

    I gave the fees to the old man and walked out of the shop with a very happy crocodile and a very happy Elf to see him with cool clothes.

    "These two are precious to me." (Ender''s mind)

    "Is something the matter Ender-Sama?" (Noelle)

    "Nothing" (Ender)

    "Okay" (Noelle)

    "We seem to be running out of money now." (Noelle)

    "Is that so?" (Ender)

    "Yes, we''ve been buying clothes for ourselves and other things." (Noelle)

    "Actually, what did you get Ender-Sama?" (Noelle)

    "Nothing, I love seeing you both happy and that''s the thing I got. It won''t be sunshine and rainbows by the next day since we''ll be taking quests to gain experience and new skills so get ready you two!" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Draco, Noelle)

    "Good" (Ender)

    "Say how bout'' we eat at a good place with the few money left." (Ender)

    "Yeah!" (Draco, Noelle)

    We went to the restaurant that Ender and Noelle ate too, this time with Draco.

    "Hello sir, this way please!" (Waiter)

    "We want a comfortable place!" (Ender)

    "Yes, right away!" (Waiter)

    "Isn''t that a half-human?" (Adventurers)

    "Yeah looks like it" (Adventurers)

    "My food is going to taste bad now" (Adventurers)

    "And who were you two addressing?" (Ender)

    "Masked sir, this way!" (Waiter)

    "Save that seat for us, but now I want to handle these two now!" (Ender)

    "P-Please have mercy" (Adventurers)

    "He was the one who was talking bad!" (Adventurers)

    "Why me!" (Adventurers)

    "Shut up you two" (Ender)

    "Summon dark wolves!" (Ender)

    The two men ran out from the restaurant being chased by the two wolves that Ender summoned.

    "E-Ender-Sama you made a scene!" (Noelle)

    "I hate people talk shit about my team!" (Ender)

    "Are you alright Draco?" (Ender)

    "Y-Yeah, Draco is fine" (Draco)

    "That''s good" (Ender)

    "Now let''s go back and eat" (Ender)

    "R-Right this way mister" (Waiter)

    We took a seat at the back of the restaurant with the comfiest chair that they can offer.

    "W-What will you have?" (Waiter)

    "I''ll get the good food you have, How about you guys?" (Ender)

    "I''ll just want a steak please." (Noelle)

    "Draco wants steak too!" (Draco)

    "Got it" (Waiter)

    "About tomorrows'' quest, we need to level both of you up. 4 days until the tree bears fruit we need to be powered up, the level required to fight it is 60." (Ender)

    "How are we going to reach the level only in 4 days?" (Noelle)

    "Level 2 experience potions, I bought 6 for us to share." (Ender)

    "Ohhh, this will surely help us!" (Noelle)

    "Not quite, the experience gain for this is 2x and some monsters drop less than 3,500 exp." (Ender)

    For every level gained the experience needed also increases drastically, to reach level 60 Ender''s team will have to gain 3,124,210 in four days. And Draco will need more since his level is still 5.

    "Ender-Sama I wonder why you''re still at a lower level than I am but I have fewer battles than you?" (Noelle)

    "Ohhh that, my affinity affected my mana and leveling system." (Ender)

    "But how can you level up?" (Draco)

    "The only way I can level up is that if I can feel intense rage and sadness, which forces me to be in a calamity state." (Ender)

    "Master, you have the calamity?" (Draco)

    "Unfortunately yes, the worst part of myself I have to control or else I''ll end up killing the realm." (Ender)

    "Sorry for the wait, here is your food." (Waiter)

    "Wow! Looks so good!" (Noelle)

    "Eat up you two!" (Ender)

    We ate the delicious meal that was presented to us and enjoyed every last part of it.

    *Burp* "That tastes really good!" (Draco)

    "Draco seems full" (Noelle)

    "I''m glad you all enjoyed it!" (Ender)

    "Well then, time to bounce!" (Ender)

    "Yes!" (Draco, Noelle)

    We dropped the coins onto the table and left the restaurant.

    "That was really good, Nee-chan!" (Draco)

    "Mhm say thanks to Ender-Sama, he was the one who did everything for us" (Noelle)

    "Arigatou Master!" (Draco)

    "N-No problem" (Ender)

    "Hey Noelle, I''ll take a piss first you two should head-on" (Ender)

    "We''ll just wait for you" (Noelle)

    "Fine" (Ender)

    "This will be a good spot" (Ender''s mind)

    "Ahhhhhh" (Ender)

    "These people don''t care about their corners getting pissed on" (Ender''s mind)

    "We don''t need to walk around every day here you know" (???)

    "As long as the people are safe from that killer, I''m fine." (???)

    "Those voices are familiar" (Ender)

    Ender took a peek at the corner and found out it was the two other legendary class heroes, Rudolf and Akira.

    "What are those two doing here?" (Ender''s mind)

    "Ender-Sama where are you!?" (Noelle)

    "Noelle run!" (Ender)

    "Ehhh, where?" (Noelle)

    "Master!" (Draco)

    "Huh" (Akira)

    "Did you hear that Rudolf?" (Akira)

    "What?" (Rudolf)

    "Someone called out Ender Yamashita''s name!" (Akira)

    "I didn''t hear anything" (Rudolf)

    "Really?" (Akira)

    "Yeah, must be your imagination" (Rudolf)

    "I can''t guarantee that, I know I heard it!" (Akira)

    "Let''s rest for a bit bud, maybe you''re really tired" (Rudolf)

    "I can''t! Maybe someone is getting hostage by Ender!" (Akira)

    "C''mon you already know Ender won''t do that stuff, he''s still 16 after all." (Rudolf)

    "How would you know?" (Akira)

    "Just listen to me." (Rudolf)

    "I''ll go search for him, if you don''t want to that''s fine by me!" (Akira)

    "Fine, I can''t force you anyway!" (Rudolf)

    "Be sure to come back to the inn afterward!" (Akira)

    "Now then, I finally found you old friend" (Rudolf)

    We ran as fast as we can to the inn we rented and hid in the dark so no one could see us

    "Ender-Sama, who were they?" (Noelle)

    "My old friends" (Ender)

    "I''ll check outside stay here you two, and don''t open the lights unless I say so." (Ender)

    *Fluke plays* (Ender''s fluke)

    "Zando invisible" (Ender)

    Ender climbed the roof to see if they were following them, luckily they weren''t spotted.

    "Good, I wasn''t spotted guess it was really nothing." (Ender''s mind)

    "Alright Noelle, turn the lights on!" (Ender)

    "Haii!" (Noelle)

    "Time to do some things then." (Ender)

    When Ender arrived they saw Draco and Noelle sleeping and cuddling each other, it was a true sight to his eyes.

    "I guess they''re tired from all that shopping." (Ender)

    "I need to go back to smithi-" (Ender)

    "Wait, who turned on the lights if they were asleep?" (Ender''s mind)

    Ender checked the door if it was opened but surprisingly it was shut closed

    "Wait, what''s that?" (Ender)

    A letter on Ender''s bed has shown up mysteriously.

    "What the hell is this?" (Ender''s mind)

    It read "come to the city central fountain this midnight someone will be waiting there" signed by Boss

    "Boss?" (Ender''s mind)

    Another message was on the back "If you don''t show up we will report you to the Kingdom, along with your team".

    "What the hell is happening?!" (Ender''s mind)

    Ender has no choice, it''s the lives of his teammates or this request he chose he obvious plan to go with.

    "Damn it, who could have sent this?" (Ender)

    "I need to know" (Ender''s mind)

    </section>

 [CHAPTER 24] - [THE BLACK RESISTANCE]

    I did as the message told me to, I went to the fountain and waited for someone that I don''t know.

    "When will he arrive?" (Ender)

    Suddenly someone popped out of the corner looking at the very annoyed Ender.

    "That must be him" (Ender)

    The man walked away as if nothing happened.

    "Hey wait up!" (Ender)

    I shouted as I ran forward toward him, sprinting to where he was heading.

    "Where are y-?" (Ender)

    A hand suddenly grasped my mouth shut.

    "Can you be a little quieter summoner hero?" (???)

    "Can you at least not crush my skull?" (Ender)

    "Whatever, come inside" (???)

    I went inside the dark building and was greeted by a bunch of people there including the old wizard that sold magic stuff in the shop.

    "Welcome summoner hero, I''m Dustin the kingdom''s blacksmith!" (Dustin)

    "No wonder why my face almost got crushed by your hands." (Ender)

    "A blacksmith''s pride!" (Dustin)

    "It''s not prideful to almost crush a face!" (Ender''s mind)

    "I think we met already hero" (Shopkeeper)

    "Yes, you were the magic shop owner" (Ender)

    "Precisely, but I haven''t told you my name. I am Tim, a mage class." (Tim)

    "I never knew the kingdom''s finest workers would do a cult." (Ender)

    "We aren''t cult members'' boy, we want a resistance against the kingdom!" (???)

    "Anddd who are you?" (Ender)

    "Skyline, the best swordswoman in this kingdom!" (Dustin)

    "Never heard a person as cocky as you before!" (Ender)

    "What did you say?" (Skyline)

    *SWEATS* "Nothing" (Ender)

    "So what are you all revolting for?" (Ender)

    A familiar voice from behind me answered my question.

    "We are revolting the corruption of this kingdom." (Rudolf)

    "Rudolf!" (Ender)

    I drew my whip in instinct and anger, I don''t expect this man to revolt against the kingdom.

    "Calm down Ender!" (Rudolf)

    "How can I calm down with you here?!" (Ender)

    "What did I do?" (Rudolf)

    "I know you''re here just to capture me!" (Ender)

    "I don''t plan to capture you at all." (Rudolf)

    "Shut up!" (Ender)

    "Hey kid calm down, We know how you feel!" (Skyline)

    "How''s that?!" (Ender)

    "We''ve also been experiencing corruption of the kingdom." (Dustin)

    "We''ve all been a product of the kingdom''s corruption." (Tim)

    "Forced, betrayed, unpaid labor, the kingdoms'' inside forces are trash!" (Dustin)

    "Is that all your reasons? I''ve experienced more shitty things from the senator himself." (Ender)

    "And that is why we want to revolt, to depower the senator" (???)

    An unfamiliar person came out of the dark and spoke.

    "Ahhh boss!" (Dustin)

    "Boss?" (Ender)

    "Yes Ender, this is Watson she calls herself a time-traveler or she can predict the future." (Rudolf)

    "Where''s the lab mouse? Aren''t we having an important meeting today?" (Skyline)

    "Archen could not come, he''s been creating potions for the army." (Watson)

    "Damn them!" (Skyline)

    "As for you, I never expected you to come." (Watson)

    "You threaten me with a letter, of course, I''d come." (Ender)

    "Did I go overboard with it?" (Watson)

    "This woman is getting on my nerves!" (Ender''s mind)

    "If you don''t answer it probably means yes." (Watson)

    The woman is wearing detective clothes and has blonde long hair, I guess she is a time-traveler but I can''t accept that fact at all

    "Let''s go to the important part of this meeting!" (Watson)

    Everyone sat on the chair around a big table, everyone was dead serious about this revolting thing.

    "Ender-Sama, thank you once again for coming here." (Watson)

    "Yeah yeah, hey can you show us how your time-travel thing works?" (Ender)

    "Why is that?" (Watson)

    "It sounds too stupid to be real, and it is." (Ender)

    "Hey, stop it!" (Dustin)

    "It''s alright Dustin, Ender what will happen if I can actually travel back in time?" (Watson)

    "First of all, time travel is not scientifically possible even to this era." (Ender)

    "You do know that technology and magic flourish in this realm?" (Watson)

    "Yes" (Ender)

    "Then why do you disbelieve my ability?" (Watson)

    "It''s just that time travel is still hard to make even for magic and technology, and the device use to make that thing work is impossible." (Ender)

    "You do know the other 3 kingdoms legendary class heroes do you?" (Watson)

    "Yes I do, the northern class heroes: sword, bow, healer, And the western class heroes: Wings, engineer, gunner, and the southern class heroes: Mage, thief, bard heroes." (Ender)

    "Yes, the engineer has the ability of "masterpiece" allowing her to create working and productive devices and her class ability "joy of creation" makes her work fast to create multiple devices." (Watson)

    "Anyway, I was her lab partner and I found a hidden prototype device in her room, curiously I touched it and tried to work it out without knowing I was being transported 5 hours before." (Watson)

    "That''s how I can time travel." (Watson)

    "Ohhhh, nice story boss!" (Dustin)

    "Indeed!" (Tim)

    "Do you understand now Ender Yamashita-san?" (Watson)

    "K-Kinda." (Ender)

    "Good, now let''s discuss the wave coming up next week, as you''re all aware the fruit of sin will ripen its fruit and unleash a wave of undead and monsters." (Watson)

    "Yes!" (Everyone)

    "Well, we encountered a huge problem." (Watson)

    "What?" (Skyline)

    This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

    "The tree has 4 fruits ready to fall." (Watson)

    "What!" (Dustin)

    "4, that''s impossible!" (Skyline)

    "That''s unbeatable!" (Rudolf)

    Everyone was in shock when the tree will bear 4 fruits, that''s a really large amount of monsters and undead that will spawn from them.

    "I know, but we need to bear this and help Rudolf and Ender to our abilities." (Watson)

    "The heroes are here for a reason, to help the realm from being engulfed by the roots of the tree." (Watson)

    "Heroes, is there something we can do?" (Watson)

    "No, you don''t have to do anything frustrated for us. However you should help Ender more." (Rudolf)

    "He''s being tracked down by Akira and the kingdom, it''s pretty hard for him to go anywhere and get help." (Ender)

    "Ender-Sama is there anything we can help?" (Watson)

    "Well..." (Ender)

    I pulled out dundelir broken and shattered by that sphinx from before and armor I carried using a magic bag

    "I would like to repair my whip and armor please." (Ender)

    "WHAT!" (Dustin)

    "Ehhh..." (Ender)

    Dustin looked at my armor and weapon like a collector would do, inspecting it really hard like it was some precious item.

    "This weapon and armor, where did you get it?" (Dustin)

    "Ohhh, I got it from the elven village chief." (Ender)

    "How did you shatter a legendary weapon?" (Dustin)

    "Legendary weapon?" (Ender)

    "Yes, that is the legendary whip carried by the second summoner hero a powerful slicing and grabbing tool." (Dustin)

    "I thought the only legendary weapon for the summoner was the fluke!" (Ender)

    "Nope, in fact, there are 3 legendary weapons for each class, all have been given at some point." (Watson)

    "Yeah, I got the legendary Paladin shield." (Rudolf)

    "Each hero is given a legendary weapon or item they can use no matter how stupid it is." (Ender)

    "Ohhh..." (Ender)

    "It''s not easy to repair a legendary weapon of a hero, you need precious ores to repair it." (Ender)

    "Precious ores, I have those." (Ender)

    "R-Really?" (Dustin)

    "Yes, this." (Ender)

    I presented a piece of the white ore that I packed along with dundelir so that I can smith on my own and repair it myself.

    "The legendary magmalium ore!" (Dustin)

    "Magmalium?" (Ender)

    "Magmalium is an ore from pure white giant rock turtles from ancient times, one piece of it can sell for 1000 of gold but most importantly it is used for crafting a legendary weapon." (Watson)

    "So it is that powerful." (Ender)

    "Can you repair it Dustin?" (Ender)

    "Yeah hero, with time I can repair it even better." (Dustin)

    "Can you also repair the armor?" (Ender)

    "Yes, my smithing skill is beyond great even for a hero." (Dustin)

    "That''s a lifesaver." (Ender)

    "But I have one question, how did you get the ores in the first place?" (Dustin)

    "I got them from the summoner dungeon." (Ender)

    "I also found many new weapons and armor there." (Ender)

    I held my new weapons one by one and when I got to my other whip Watson told everyone to stand back.

    "Wait, is that the eldritch whip!?" (Watson)

    "Yes, what''s the matter?" (Ender)

    "That''s the untamed whip of legends, only a person with an affinity of the dark calamity can wield such weapon." ( Watson)

    "Ender, don''t tell me!" (Watson)

    "They found out my secret that I wanted to hide the most, it can''t be helped now." (Ender''s mind)

    "Yes, I have the calamity." (Ender)

    "H-How?" (Rudolf)

    "I don''t know either, all I know is that I need to contain this no matter what." (Ender)

    "You really are the dark hero everyone''s been talking." (Dustin)

    "It seems ironic actually." (Skyline)

    "Now, you do know how to control it do you?" (Watson)

    "No, I can never control the calamity" (Ender)

    "Why is that?" (Watson)

    "The calamity only switches with me if I get mad or depressed." (Ender)

    "I see, I will find a way to help you control it Hero." (Watson)

    "Really?" (Ender)

    "Yes! After all, you are the one to help protect this realm along with the other heroes!" (Watson)

    "That''s right! HEHE." (Rudolf)

    Everyone smiled and smirked, I finally understand that people like these should be my top priority to protect and save.

    "Alright then, well do you need any more help Ender?" (Watson)

    "Ohh about that, the level requirement for the tree of sin is level 60." (Ender)

    "And you can''t find a place to grind creatures for experience huh?" (Watson)

    "Yes, Exactly!" (Ender)

    "I see, meet me at the sewers tomorrow if you wish to level up." (Watson)

    "Sewers?" (Ender)

    "Don''t ask." (Watson)

    "Fine." (Ender)

    "Now then let''s continue with the discussion." (Watson)

    "Skyline!" (Watson)

    "Yes ma'' me!" (Skyline)

    "Can you handle fighting with the other heroes?" (Watson)

    "I''ll try my best!" (Skyline)

    "Good." (Watson)

    "Ender, I need you to go farther in the dark woods and attack the enemy there." (Watson)

    "Akira will be guarding the outer walls and help lessen the chaos." (Watson)

    "While you fight outside the kingdom area." (Watson)

    "Can you do that?" (Watson)

    "Yes, as long as I don''t get seen." (Ender)

    "Understood I will make sure that will not happen." (Rudolf)

    "Alright, now you all understood, today''s meeting is closed." (Watson)

    "Good, I''m getting tired." (Dustin)

    "Yes, an old geezer like me needs rest." (Tim)

    Everyone left the building feeling tired about the meeting today, except for Rudolf who seems to be active.

    "Hey Ender, feeling tired?" (Rudolf)

    "Not quite." (Ender)

    "Wanna have a friendly sparring match?" (Rudolf)

    "Why?" (Ender)

    "Nothing, I want to challenge a friend in combat nothing special." (Rudolf)

    "Ohhh, sounds good!" (Watson)

    "Right!" (Rudolf)

    "C''mon Ender, I''ll go easy on you!" (Rudolf)

    "Rudolf asked me politely to have a fighting match, this can make my fighting experience stronger against defensive type monster and I can know what our experience gap is between me and Rudolf." (Ender''s mind)

    "I''ll accept!" (Ender)

    "Thank goodness!" (Rudolf)

    "On one condition, don''t hold back!" (Ender)

    "Ohhh, you''re challenging me?" (Rudolf)

    "I want to see who''s stronger without handicap!" (Ender)

    "Okay then, let''s go to the place I know." (Rudolf)

    "Wait, can I come Heroes?" (Watson)

    "Yeah!" (Rudolf)

    "Please tell us who is stronger by watching us!" (Ender)

    "Understood!" (Watson)

    "Ready Ender, Watson?" (Rudolf)

    "Yeah!" (Ender, Watson)

    "I''ll teleport us to my base." (Rudolf)

    Rudolf used an item used for teleportation means and Watson and I teleported to his very own secret base.

    "Rudolf where are we?" (Ender)

    "This is my base, far away from any civilization." (Rudolf)

    "I usually see places like this in my dreams!" (Ender)

    We were teleported to a luminous part of the eastern kingdom with glowing blue mushrooms forest and beautiful scenery.

    "This place is beautiful Rudolf!" (Watson)

    "Yeah, this is why I chose this place I always loved beautiful scenery." (Rudolf)

    "The darkness of the night is perfect for the blue mushrooms to glow." (Ender)

    "And on top of that, the mushrooms emit strong magical aura, meaning it''s much easier to cast magic here." (Rudolf)

    "How did you ever found this place?" (Watson)

    "Well, we were doing a quest in the night catching monsters and we got lost until we found this place. The mushrooms can be made into special teleportation potions." (Rudolf)

    "Ohhh, so that''s where you''ve got those." (Ender)

    "Yeah, I crafted and brewed these potions by myself." (Rudolf)

    "Hey, can I have some of those?" (Ender)

    "Yeah, but only if you beat me in a fight!" (Rudolf)

    "You bet!" (Ender)

    Rudolf and I went to the sides preparing for battle while Watson was watching sitting on top of a mushroom judging us.

    "3..." (Watson)

    "2..." (Watson)

    "1..." (Watson)

    "GO!" (Watson)

    Rudolf rushed to in quick succession, swinging his mace while carefully doge but still I can''t summon anything if he does this too much.

    "You''re pretty fast for someone carrying heavy equipment." (Ender)

    "Surprised?" (Rudolf)

    "I use heavy equipment anyway, so running is a bit tiresome. I don''t really like people running away from my attacks." (Rudolf)

    "So you''re saying I''m pathetic?" (Ender)

    "A bit, but you''re better than Akira at least." (Rudolf)

    "Akira? Hey where did that come from!?" (Ender)

    "Here!" (Rudolf)

    *bash* (mace)

    "Aghh!" (Ender)

    Without even realizing it Rudolf already ran towards me and got a blow on me.

    "Are you done already!?" (Rudolf)

    *Slam* (mace)

    I dodged his slams in quick succession

    "What a pain honestly!" (Rudolf)

    "What''s the matter?" (Ender)

    "I thought you might be a little stronger for me, you said that I won''t hold back." (Rudolf)

    "Ohh right, well then." (Ender)

    "Summon Dark Wolves!" (Ender)

    "I won''t back down then!" (Ender)

    "Good to hear!" (Rudolf)

    *gulp* (mana potion)

    "Yeah!" (Ender)

    "Summon dark turtle!" (Ender)

    This time I rushed with my summons towards Rudolf, in quick succession.

    "You won''t be escaping me!" (Ender)

    "Damn!" (Ender)

    *Whip* (Whip)

    *Bash* (mace)

    *swoosh swoosh* (whip)

    *Bash* (mace)

    I tried to attack Rudolf with my whip, doing a frenzy of strikes on him but doing nothing at all.

    "Damn that annoying shield." (Ender)

    "It is my legendary class weapon after all!" (Rudolf)

    "Watson, who''s doing well?" (Ender)

    "Well, the paladin hero seems to be in a great condition then you Ender." (Watson)

    "Heh" (Rudolf)

    "What''s with that smirk?" (Ender)

    "Nothing, I seem to best you!" (Rudolf)

    "I can still turn the tides!" (Ender)

    "Summon Dark Phoenix!" (Ender)

    "I guess you''re really bad at ranged attacks, so how about some!" (Ender)

    "You''re not winning this time Rudolf!" (Ender)

    "Ultimate activate: Paladin''s might!" (Rudolf)

    A bright light covered the battlefield and blinded me and Watson, once we regained sight we were greeted by a giant paladin hero.

    "How''s my ultimate?" (Rudolf)

    "It allows me to increase my power and size!" (Rudolf)

    "Not bad!" (Ender)

    "Now you won''t have a place to go!" (Rudolf)

    "Ultimate unleash: May these spirits inhabit anything they want! SPIRIT MORPH!" (Ender)

    "DARK PHOENIX!" (Ender)

    "I unleashed my own ultimate to combat his paladin, no matter how I see it I am the weaker hero but I can at least fight hard to be good!" (Ender''s mind)

    "How''s an army of dark flying birds?" (Ender)

    "Now then how about this!" (Ender)

    I channeled a bit of rage into myself to use my calamity-changing ability to use.

    "Calamity Wolves!" (Ender)

    "Calamity Rabbit!" (Ender)

    "This I can control freely but when I''m really mad I can''t control it." (Ender)

    "Have fun with those, those summons don''t just die easily!" (Ender)

    "He isn''t just the dark hero, he''s much more dangerous." (Watson)

    "His power to overwhelm an opponent is amazing!" (Watson)

    "But, you think I''ll stop here!" (Rudolf)

    "Paladin strike!" (Rudolf)

    "Impossible, how did he beat all those?" (Ender)

    *Bash* (mace)

    "Ohhh, a turtle?" (Rudolf)

    "Shit, I was too cocky!" (Ender)

    "My ultimate ability infuses the light affinity with my weapons which can destroy dark creatures!" (Rudolf)

    "Argggg!" (Ender)

    *Snap*

    Rudolf destroyed my turtle in no less than seconds and repeatedly swung his mace at me.

    "What!?" (Ender)

    "Rudolf, I''m not planning on hurting you at all!" (Ender)

    "Is that so?" (Rudolf)

    "Well, in that case, I''ll beat the hell out of you!" (Rudolf)

    "Summon Dark turtle!" (Ender)

    *Bang* (mace)

    "Shit, m-my mana!" (Ender)

    *bang bang* (mace)

    *clang*

    "You''re defending yourself using that whip of yours?" (Rudolf)

    *Clang clang clang* (mace)

    "It''s no use, it''ll just break." (Rudolf)

    *clang*

    "Grrrahhhhh!" (Ender)

    *Whip*

    "You managed to fight back, I''m glad you''re not someone who runs away from a fight." (Rudolf)

    "Paladin hero, I think this is too much. You''re going to kill the summoner hero!" (Watson)

    "Ohhh what''s that? I can''t understand anything you say." (Rudolf)

    "My purpose to bring Ender here is to test his strength, and it seems he lacks the power to be a real help." (Rudolf)

    "That''s why I don''t need sloppy saviors in this kingdom!" (Rudolf)

    "Die Ender!" (Rudolf)

    "Ender-Sama!" (Watson)

    Rudolf smashed the summoner hero so hard the ground in which he slammed his mace created a large impact area on the ground.

    "Ahhh... E-Ender-S-Sam-ma!?" (Watson)

    "Watson, never tell anyone about what happened or else-" (Rudolf)

    "Or else what?" (Ender)

    "Whaaa!" (Rudolf)

    "Good rid dens you son of a bitch." (Ender)

    "Huh..." (Rudolf)

    "Huh..." (Watson)

    Upon hearing the voice of the summoner hero the two of them were shocked at the sight of him resting on the large tree that was near the arena.

    "I thought you''d not kill me!" (Ender)

    "H-He''s not dead? Even more terrifying his wounds are gone, I swore his mana was depleted." (Rudolf''s mind)

    "H-How?" (Rudolf)

    "Ohhh, well since you asked so nicely let me explain." (Ender)

    "When I cast my ultimate I unlocked a new skill that clones any summon into anything I want, although its 1700 mana peruse so I won''t use it too often I used my invisibility spell to hide and make my summon do all the attacking for me." (Ender)

    "You thought I don''t have a plan huh? To be honest I never had a plan until I got a new skill." (Ender)

    "I thought this would be a friendly sparring match, but you turned it to a death match. HEH challenge accepted." (Ender)

    "Summon Dark Wolves!" (Ender)

    *Fluke plays* (Fluke)

    "Hando backfire!" (Ender)

    "Magic lock!" (Rudolf)

    "Huh, what happened?" (Watson)

    "The paladin hero did nothing?" (Watson)

    "You need to look a little closer old friend!" (Ender)

    "Ehhh..., No!" (Rudolf)

    Ender planted a water leech onto Rudolf''s leg and it slowly drained his mana while he was watching.

    "Tsk!" (Rudolf)

    *Squish* (mana leech)

    *drop*

    "So I finally figured your real hidden ability!" (Ender)

    "High Stamina huh?" (Ender)

    "Most people that are drained of mana get tired and faint but you don''t seem to be tired at all." (Ender)

    "Damn it." (Rudolf)

    "Watson did you know this?" (Ender)

    "I-I never knew this." (Watson)

    "I see." (Ender)

    "So, what do you say friend want another round?" (Ender)

    Rudolf was in his battle stand ready to block any coming attacks from Ender. Ender ran towards Rudolf and swung his whip while his wolves keep biting him and pressuring him.

    *Clang clang*

    "Damn.. It!" (Rudolf)

    Rudolf jumped out of battle and tried to doge away while the battle was ongoing.

    "Oh no you don''t" (Ender)

    Ender grabbed Rudolf using his eldritch whip and pulled him back with full force that he went crashing down.

    *crash*

    *Whip whip whip* (Whip)

    *clang clang clang* (Whip continuously hits shield)

    "Oh my, this seems oddly familiar." (Ender)

    "Don''t underestimate me!" (Rudolf)

    "Holy mace!" (Rudolf)

    *Smash* (Mace)

    "Calamity turtle!" (Ender)

    Ender summoned the calamity turtle the one that explodes with contact and it collided with Rudolf''s mace.

    "What the!" (Rudolf)

    A bright light emitted from the turtle''s spiked and dark shell.

    *Boom*

    "Ahhh!" (Watson)

    "Watson!" (Ender)

    "I-I''m okay!" (Watson)

    "Grrr..." (Rudolf)

    "Shit, my mana is still low." (Rudolf)

    "Don''t force yourself Rudolf!" (Ender)

    "Heh, guess my ultimate is also fully charged!" (Ender)

    "What will you do Rudolf? Just yield now!" (Ender)

    "Never, I''ll not lose to a useless class!" (Rudolf)

    "So. Be. It. Then!" (Ender)

    "Ultimate unleash: May these spirits inhabit anything they want! SPIRIT MORPH!"

    "CA...LA...MI...TY... Butterflies!" (Ender)

    Ender summoned the calamity butterflies and suddenly a large number of butterflies swarmed in front of Ender.

    "Rudolf one last chance, forfeit or face death." (Ender)

    "Paladin hero!" (Watson)

    Rudolf once again declined and took his battle stand ready to block the explosion.

    "You know these butterflies explode." (Ender)

    "...." (Ender)

    "Bring it on!" (Rudolf)

    "Sorry Rudolf!" (Ender)

    Ender commanded the butterflies to attack Rudolf and in quick succession, thousands of butterflies exploded on Rudolf''s shield.

    "AAAA!" (Rudolf)

    *BOOM BOOM BOOM...*

    *CRACK* (Shield)

    "No." (Rudolf)

    Rudolf''s legendary shield was shattered by the explosions and he is fully exposed to any attack.

    "His shield!" (Ender)

    "I guess my life ends here, Ender I''m sorry for doubting you! You are the strong one!" (Rudolf)

    *fluke plays* (fluke)

    "Change command, rest freely spirits!" (Ender)

    Ender stopped the hoard of butterflies trying to kill Rudolf since Ender never wanted to kill a friend or hurt Rudolf in the first place.

    "Y-You''re not going to kill me?" (Rudolf)

    "I wasn''t planning to kill you or hurt you, but you forced my hand every time. You know all you had to do is yield right?" (Ender)

    "Why?" (Rudolf)

    "We were here to save the kingdom from getting killed from the tree, we can''t save anyone if you die right here." (Ender)

    "But you''re stronger than me, you don''t need me." (Rudolf)

    "Of course we do, who would protect Akira or Me from the monsters? Only you can do that!" (Ender)

    "It''s no use anymore, my shield is shattered." (Rudolf)

    "Watson and Dustin can repair it, I have enough ore to make it!" (Ender)

    "B-But you''re whip?" (Rudolf)

    "Well, I do have multiple ones." (Ender)

    "Thank you, Ender, and I''m sorry for trying to kill you." (Rudolf)

    "No problem, after all this was a friendly match!" (Ender)

    "Yeah, and you won!" (Rudolf)

    "Thank the heavens you resolved your problems!" (Watson)

    "Yeah, I guess Dustin has to make a repair on the legendary shield now!" (Ender)

    "But how am I going to tell him?" (Watson)

    "Uhhh... A dragon shattered it!" (Ender)

    "Good excuse!" (Watson)

    "HAHAHAHA!" (Watson, Ender, Rudolf)

    The three of them laughed at what happened and the two heroes continue to be friends, Rudolf teleported both of them back and went on with the night.

    Ender returned to the inn that they lived in.

    *creek*

    "Ehhh!" (Ender)

    Apparently, Noelle was not asleep and was waiting for Ender at the dusk of night.

    *pout* "Why were you late!?" (Noelle)

    "Ehhhh..." (Ender)

    "We''re going to have a long talk tomorrow!" (Noelle)

    "Ahhh, f-fine!" (Ender)

 [25] â€” [GOBLIN EXTERMINATION]

    Hey Ender-Sama, wake upˇ±

    Noelle tried to wake me up because it was todayˇŻs day to grind and we really need the exp from the fight to level up.

    ˇ°F-Five more minutes please.ˇ±

    ˇ°No good, we need to leave now!ˇ±

    Noelle successfully waked me up from my sleep. I got into my cloak and mask and brought Shubaru with us, same thing for Noelle and Draco they both got armored up and dressed.

    ˇ°Long time girl!ˇ±

    *Grawr Grawr*

    ˇ°Ohhh, is this a ground dragon?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes it is!ˇ±

    ˇ°SheˇŻs been very excited to be going somewhere with you.ˇ±

    The owner of the inn came into the stables unlocking the stable Shubaru was kept in.

    ˇ°Ohhh, thank you for feeding and taking care of her.ˇ±

    *creek*

    *Graw Grawr*

    *Lick Lick*

    As always Shubaru pounced on Ender and licked him to her hearts content.

    ˇ°Shubaru, calm downˇ±

    ˇ°We really thank you for taking care for her!ˇ±

    ˇ°No problem, its simply part of the business.ˇ±

    ˇ°Anyway, be safe on your trip!ˇ±

    ˇ°Thank you!ˇ±

    The owner left the stables and brought the carriage that will carry all of us. We put the carriage onto Shubaru and the three of us hopped into the carriage.

    ˇ°Where are we going?ˇ±

    ˇ°Uhm, I need to meet up with someone.ˇ±

    ˇ°Ehhh!ˇ±

    ˇ°H-How did you manage to meet someone!?ˇ±

    ˇ°Ohh that.ˇ±

    ˇ°I canˇŻt tell her that weˇŻll die if I didnˇŻt go to the secret meeting the last night.ˇ±

    ˇ°I kinda forgot.ˇ±

    ˇ°Ehhhh!ˇ±

    ˇ°Hehe.ˇ±

    We made our way to the sewers where Watson was waiting, we hope sheˇŻll be there even though weˇŻre late.

    ˇ°Ohhh!ˇ±

    ˇ°YouˇŻre late, I told you to come early!ˇ±

    ˇ°I was tired after what happened yesterday.ˇ±

    ˇ°I guess you are tired after what happened yesterday.ˇ±

    ˇ°What happened?ˇ±

    ˇ°Nothing you want to know!ˇ±

    ˇ°Ohhhˇ±

    ˇ°By the way, how rude of me to not introduce myself, my name is Watson Amelia or you can call me Watson for short!ˇ±

    ˇ°You guys should introduce yourselves to Watson, sheˇŻs a friend of mine.ˇ±

    ˇ°Hi, IˇŻm Draco!ˇ±

    ˇ°A magical beast! IˇŻve never seen one in captivity or at least being joined party to a hero before.

    ˇ°H-Hi, IˇŻm Noelle Elvenstein!ˇ±

    ˇ°Elvenstein huh, you must be the daughter of Angeline the second summoner hero!ˇ±

    ˇ°Huh!ˇ±

    ˇ°Ummm, y-yes but could you be a little silent about that.ˇ±

    ˇ°Wait, youˇŻre the daughter of Angeline!ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes, I always admired my mother of her heroism and future for the village, unfortunately she died by a houndloom she didnˇŻt see and got crushed by it.ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°Me and my father have to live strong and believe that mother is always here with me, but he also died recently by the hands of the kingdom that mother desperately tried to protect so much.ˇ±

    ˇ°ˇ­ˇ­IˇŻm sorry for your lost, I didnˇŻt think that is what happened.ˇ±

    ˇ°No worries, I have Ender-Sama and Draco to support me at all times!ˇ±

    ˇ°You have become really attached to these two huh, Ender-Sama?ˇ±

    ˇ°ˇ­ˇ­ˇ±

    ˇ°Ehhh, silent treatment huh?ˇ±

    ˇ°Oi, are you going to help us or not!?ˇ±

    *Clears throat* ˇ°Right, I almost forgot about why weˇŻre here.ˇ±

    ˇ°Ender-Sama has given me orders to help you all gain experience to fight the calamity.ˇ±

    ˇ°Really, Ender-Sama?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah!ˇ±

    ˇ°Now, can you all show me your levels?ˇ±

    ˇ°I think all of you know how to project it.ˇ±

    The three of us projected our levels and stats to Watson and maybe she can help me with this mana problem of mine.

    ˇ°I see, so youˇŻre all decently leveled except for Draco, well first of all Ender did you bring exp. Gain potions?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah, you bet I did!ˇ±

    ˇ°Ohh yeah, Rudolf left this for you.ˇ±

    ˇ°WhatˇŻs this?ˇ±

    Ender realized it was the teleportation potions Rudolf promised to give to Ender, the small sack carried maybe 20 of those potions.

    ˇ°Wow, these are plenty for us to use!ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah, heˇŻll be producing more from those mushrooms and giving them to the other kingdom heroes.ˇ±

    ˇ°Wow! Rudolf is really is productive with these!ˇ±

    ˇ°He said he wanted to help the other heroes on the tree of sin or something.ˇ±

    ˇ°Really? Well thatˇŻs good to hear.ˇ±

    ˇ°Anyway back on track, I got these private quests from the Guild.ˇ±

    ˇ°Ohhh.ˇ±

    ˇ°I suggest you start from the silver ranked quest in order to level up Draco then move on to Gold ranked then move to platinum quests!ˇ±

    ˇ°Whoa, how did you get platinum quest Watson?ˇ±

    ˇ°Well about that.ˇ±

    Watson showed us her rank, she was a titanium ranked adventurer who joins the engineer hero on her quests.

    ˇ°Wow, titanium!ˇ±

    ˇ°You really are powerful!ˇ±

    ˇ°Not quite, being a mage class is tiresome especially if you have to cast big spell in a hurry.ˇ±

    ˇ°Now then, this is the silver ranked quest that shall level up Draco in a hurry!ˇ±

    Watson handed me a quest poster of the silver ranked variety it read ˇ°destroy a goblin nest in town quartz.ˇ±

    ˇ°Goblins huh, Noelle is scared by goblins since she was almost raped by them.ˇ±

    ˇ°Really?ˇ±

    ˇ°Do you have any other quest we can do?ˇ±

    ˇ°No, these private quest are first come first serve, I canˇŻt bargain another one.ˇ±

    ˇ°I have to talk to Noelle first.ˇ±

    ˇ°I hope Noelle can take this whole-heartedly.ˇ±

    ˇ°Hey Noelle.ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes?ˇ±

    ˇ°I remembered so fluently that day when she almost died because of those goblins, I want to apologize for this quest.ˇ±

    ˇ°Huh!?

    Ender kneeled his feet to the ground and apologized to Noelle about this quest.

    ˇ°Noelle! IˇŻm sorry!ˇ±

    ˇ°W-WhatˇŻs gotten into you!?ˇ±

    ˇ°This quest revolves around slaying goblins, and I donˇŻt want you to feel sadness because of this.ˇ±

    ˇ°Is that all you wanted to say?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes!ˇ±

    ˇ°Ender was sincere to the bottom of his heart, I have never met a man that is like this before. Kneeling down just to forgive me about a quest.ˇ±

    ˇ°Ender-Sama stand up, IˇŻll be fine I promise.ˇ±

    ˇ°Thank the gods!ˇ±

    ˇ°On one condition though!ˇ±

    *Badump Badump* ˇ°You need to be with me and we canˇŻt get separated!ˇ±

    ˇ°IˇŻll do everything in my power to not get separated!ˇ±

    *Blush* ˇ°Y-Yes!ˇ±

    ˇ°Ender-Sama, is it okay if I join you?ˇ±

    ˇ°ThereˇŻs nothing bad about that, come join us.ˇ±

    ˇ°Thank you.ˇ±

    ˇ°This trip will be a little long.ˇ±

    ˇ°Ohhh, you could use the teleportation potion, but it only works if you been to that location before.ˇ±

    ˇ°Well, Watson have you been to town Quartz?ˇ±

    ˇ°No.ˇ±

    ˇ°H-How about you Noelle?ˇ±

    ˇ°I donˇŻt remember going to town Quartz.ˇ±

    ˇ°Sighˇ­I guess weˇŻll be going on a long trip.ˇ±

    ˇ°UHMMˇ­Master, Draco has been to the town.ˇ±

    ˇ°Really Draco!?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes, I remember running away from that village before stealing food.ˇ±

    ˇ°Uhhhˇ­O-Okay then.ˇ±

    ˇ°By the way, if you donˇŻt concentrate on the place you remembered the potion will teleport the carriage anywhere.ˇ±

    ˇ°Seriously!ˇ±

    ˇ°Draco you need to concentrate really hard to prevent us from being hurt.ˇ±

    ˇ°Y-Yes, IˇŻll try my best!ˇ±

    I gave Draco one of the teleportation potions, and he closed his eyes and tries to remember the Quartz town.

    ˇ°Phewˇ­ˇ±

    ˇ°You remember it now Draco?ˇ±

    ˇ°Y-Yeah.ˇ±

    ˇ°I just pour it right?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah!ˇ±

    Draco poured the liquid potion on the ground and suddenly the carriage started glowing and everyone in it.

    ˇ°A-Are we here?ˇ±

    ˇ°Ahaˇ­ Ender-Sama its town Quartz!ˇ±

    At the distance we can see the town which our mission will be held.

    ˇ°Amazing job Draco!ˇ±

    ˇ°HEHE, thanks master!ˇ±

    ˇ°LetˇŻs go Shubaru!ˇ±

    *Grawr*

    ˇ°The name of the town comes from the townˇŻs unique white houses and abundant caves that offer treasure and especially quartz, a fine material used in building houses and others, or so what they told me!ˇ±

    ˇ°Incredible, this town has some culture to it.ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes!ˇ±

    We arrived at the small wooden fence that goes around the town, we were greeted to the townsˇŻ people and children of the town looking at Shubaru.

    ˇ°Wow! A ground dragon!ˇ±

    ˇ°ItˇŻs so big!ˇ±

    ˇ°Heh, it is?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah! Do you drive that Nee-Chan?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah, her name is Shubaru!ˇ±

    ˇ°Can I pet her?!ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes, go ahead!ˇ±

    ˇ°Wow, so big!ˇ±

    *Grawr Grawr*

    ˇ°I bet she likes it!ˇ±

    ˇ°Welcome adventurers to the Quartz town!ˇ±

    ˇ°It is really beautiful!ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah, our quartz-white houses are our masterpiece here!ˇ±

    ˇ°IˇŻm guessing youˇŻre the chief of this village?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes I am!ˇ±

    ˇ°You see, we weˇŻre told that there are goblin nests near this town, we want to exterminate them!ˇ±

    ˇ°Y-Yes! Unfortunately we encountered several interconnected goblin nest in the right part of this village.ˇ±

    ˇ°Interconnected!?ˇ±

    ˇ°ThatˇŻs not anymore a nest!ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes, itˇŻs now a goblin unground village.ˇ±

    ˇ°Village!?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes, a goblin village is a group of interconnected nest built together by other goblin rulers.ˇ±

    ˇ°WeˇŻve recently suffered a lost in population due to their frequent attacks.ˇ±

    ˇ°I-I see.ˇ±

    ˇ°This problem is bigger than we expected, a goblin village means there are about a hundred of them in one area.ˇ±

    ˇ°Please eradicate them for us!ˇ±

    ˇ°WeˇŻll give a big reward if you manage to get out alive and beat it!ˇ±

    ˇ°WeˇŻll try.ˇ±

    Watson, Me, Noelle and Draco did a little discussion on the problem of the goblins.

    ˇ°What shall we do?ˇ±

    ˇ°I guess we have no choice.ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah.ˇ±

    ˇ°TheyˇŻll give us a fine reward if we manage to be it too.ˇ±

    ˇ°The reward is not what weˇŻre after.ˇ±

    ˇ°If we do it, we need a plan on how weˇŻre going to beat it!ˇ±

    We discussed on a plan we all agreed on and do it, we need to execute it perfectly to kill every goblin in there.

    ˇ°You really think your plan could work?ˇ±

    ˇ°We can only assume it will, or else weˇŻd die right here right now!ˇ±

    ˇ°Alright!ˇ±

    ˇ°LetˇŻs go!ˇ±

    We went to the far side of the town in search for the interconnected cave the goblin are hiding.

    ˇ°Is it this one?ˇ±

    ˇ°Scratch marks and footprints, it is summoner hero!ˇ±

    ˇ°Everyone, drink an exp. Potion!ˇ±

    ˇ°WeˇŻre going in!ˇ±

    We went inside the burrow and found remains of animal bones and feces of the goblins, we hoped for the best it wasnˇŻt that dreadful.

    ˇ°Be careful everyone, this burrow is narrow.ˇ±

    ˇ°Okay!ˇ±

    ˇ°Careful everyone!ˇ±

    ˇ°Ahhh!ˇ±

    ˇ°NOELLE!ˇ±

    Noelle fall down the steep hole, luckily in the nick of time I managed to catch her and hold her hand.

    ˇ°Huh?ˇ±

    ˇ°You okay?ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°Y-Yeah.ˇ±

    ˇ°Hahˇ­thatˇŻs good!ˇ±

    ˇ°Ender-Sama itˇŻs raining!ˇ±

    ˇ°What!?ˇ±

    ˇ°The ground is all slippery!ˇ±

    ˇ°Ahhhhh!ˇ±

    ˇ°Watson!ˇ±

    ˇ°Are you alright?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah.ˇ±

    ˇ°Hold on!ˇ±

    ˇ°Draco help me out!ˇ±

    ˇ°Okay!ˇ±

    In that moment my hand slipped and we all fall down the hole, but surprisingly Draco managed to use his shield-like scales to poke the ground preventing us from falling.

    ˇ°Grraaaˇ­ˇ±

    ˇ°Hold on Draco!ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah!ˇ±

    ˇ°Summon Griffin!ˇ±

    We used the griffin to carry Watson, Noelle and me including Draco and descended in the hole where some silhouettes of goblins can be seen guarding the hole from afar.

    ˇ°I-I canˇŻt see anything Ender-Sama, letˇŻs the torch now.ˇ±

    ˇ°No donˇŻt do it, if the goblins can see light they rush to it at once and call for reinforcements, ItˇŻll disrupt our plan.ˇ±

    ˇ°Goblins in this realm is considered a second tier monster since they are plenty and act instantly when danger is near.ˇ±

    ˇ°What should we do Ender?ˇ±

    ˇ°We need a way to keep those guards silent so that we can proceed to the nest.ˇ±

    ˇ°Watson.ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes?ˇ±

    ˇ°I have a plan, but I need your help and powers for this!ˇ±

    ˇ°Okay!ˇ±

    Watson and I planned to use sleep magic and her bigger magic later-on if anything goes bad with the plan.

    ˇ°YouˇŻll use sleep magic on those goblins and Draco should kill them so that heˇŻll receive the experience from it.ˇ±

    ˇ°Alright!

    ˇ°Understand Draco?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah!ˇ±

    ˇ°Zando sleep!ˇ±

    ˇ°Draco.ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah!ˇ±

    *Slash*

    ˇ°Hey Ender-Sama, why canˇŻt you use sleep magic?ˇ±

    ˇ°ItˇŻs because sleep magicˇŻs mana usage is too high for me to use, and itˇŻs kind of hard for me to use any summons, especially now since weˇŻve used 4 mana potions and have 3 left.ˇ±

    ˇ°Ohhhˇ­, but IˇŻm still confused how low your mana is even though youˇŻre a summoner.ˇ±

    ˇ°I still donˇŻt even know how I even became a hero despite being useless sometimes.ˇ±

    ˇ°Ender-Sama weˇŻve defeated the goblins and whatˇŻs better Draco advanced 10 levels!ˇ±

    ˇ°Wow, weˇŻll get into fighting the tree of sin in no time.ˇ±

    We ventured deeper into the nest of the goblins until we came across the village, it is what I imagined it to be a giant cave system with large interconnected veins that connects the 4 nest together forming the village it was called.

    ˇ°I-I wasnˇŻt expecting it to be this large!ˇ±

    ˇ°What should we do Ender?ˇ±

    ˇ°ˇ­.ˇ±

    ˇ°Our original plan was use ice magic and freeze the whole village, but I did not expect something like this to be huge.ˇ±

    ˇ°L-LetˇŻs go with our original plan anyway, can you manage to use magic this large Watson?ˇ±

    ˇ°Currently my mana can withstand that, but it will take time.ˇ±

    ˇ°Master, goblins!ˇ±

    ˇ°Damn it, hide in that corner everyone!ˇ±

    ˇ°Okay!ˇ±

    ˇ°Did you dispose the body Watson?ˇ±

    ˇ°Ehhhˇ­ˇ±

    ˇ°You didnˇŻt dispose it!ˇ±

    ˇ°Y-You didnˇŻt tell me!ˇ±

    ˇ°Shit, weˇŻre going to get caught!ˇ±

    ˇ°@#!&!&%ˇ±

    ˇ°EHH...ˇ±

    ˇ°@#$#@@#@!ˇ±

    *tooooˇ­toooˇ­*

    ˇ°They send reinforcements!ˇ±

    The floor started to shake because of hundreds of goblins rushing to the scene and it will be in no time when they die.

    ˇ°@#$%#@@#!!ˇ±

    ˇ°They found us!ˇ±

    ˇ°Zando force shield!ˇ±

    ˇ°Summon Dark Turtle!ˇ±

    *fluke plays* ˇ°Summon property change: titanium weight!ˇ±

    ˇ°Phewˇ­ What do we do now?ˇ±

    I looked at everyoneˇŻs distressed face and found myself a plan B but I canˇŻt act on it now.

    ˇ°Everyone, I have a plan.ˇ±

    ˇ°What is it?ˇ±

    ˇ°IˇŻll go calamity.ˇ±

    ˇ°What!ˇ±

    ˇ°No way!ˇ±

    ˇ°We stand no chance against them, I have to do it!ˇ±

    Once I said that Noelle grabbed my left arm and began crying and holding my arm tighter.

    *sob* ˇ°No, you promise me you wonˇŻt leave me!ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°Liarˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°Ender-Sama, you dirty liar!ˇ±

    ˇ°Noelle, I never brake my promise to you.ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°but you just did.ˇ±

    ˇ°IˇŻll come back, I promise.ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°you promise?ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes, with my heart!ˇ±

    ˇ°Watson!ˇ±

    ˇ°Use ice magic on me, you know what to do next!ˇ±

    ˇ°Wait, I donˇŻt know what to do!ˇ±

    Ender rushed outside the force field and started whipping the goblins.

    ˇ°Damn these little assholes, IˇŻve never in my life wanted to destroy your entire race. But after what you did to Noelle that is simply not possible anymore.ˇ±

    Ender got reminded of NoelleˇŻs pain when they first met and suddenly his heart and mind were filled with darkness and sorrow, and that activated the calamity once again.

    ˇ°ˇ­..ˇ±

    ˇ°Summon calamity rabbit!ˇ±

    Ender together with the rabbits shredded the thousands of goblins he set mark on, Ender whipped everything that moved and the rabbits ate anything it sees.

    ˇ°Elf nee-chan are you okay?ˇ±

    ˇ°Y-Yeah.ˇ±

    ˇ°I know how Noelle must have felt seeing her dear one leave her.ˇ±

    ˇ°How nostalgic.ˇ±

    ˇ°Watson-Chan, what do we do!?ˇ±

    ˇ°When Ender kills everything I have to freeze him.ˇ±

    ˇ°What?ˇ±

    ˇ°N-No you canˇŻt!ˇ±

    ˇ°Noelle, if not we could become victims of Ender too!ˇ±

    ˇ°We can find other ways to calm him!ˇ±

    ˇ°You can do sleep spells, use that.ˇ±

    ˇ°Noelle, status effects donˇŻt work on Ender.ˇ±

    ˇ°W-Why?ˇ±

    ˇ°HeˇŻs mind is being used and so heˇŻs not the Ender we know!ˇ±

    ˇ°The only thing to stop him is to freeze his entire body in harsh cold!ˇ±

    ˇ°But wouldnˇŻt that kill him!?ˇ±

    ˇ°ˇ­.ˇ±

    ˇ°W-Watson?ˇ±

    ˇ°What does that silence mean Watson-Chan?ˇ±

    ˇ°I-It canˇŻt be!ˇ±

    ˇ°I donˇŻt know if Ender can survive a large blast like that either.ˇ±

    ˇ°Ehhhˇ­ˇ±

    ˇ°Then why do you need to do that!ˇ±

    ˇ°BECAUSE ITˇŻS HIS ORDER!ˇ±

    ˇ°He fought for this, I canˇŻt just disobey him now!ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°YouˇŻre serious?ˇ±

    ˇ°Y-Yes.ˇ±

    ˇ°No, there must be some other way?ˇ±

    ˇ°Noelle, we canˇŻt do anything now.ˇ±

    ˇ°Elf nee-chan, will master be okay?ˇ±

    ˇ°ˇ­ˇ­ˇ±

    ˇ°Draco, itˇŻs all right your master will only be in a quick slumber.ˇ±

    ˇ°Will he wake up?ˇ±

    ˇ°ˇ­Yeah.ˇ±

    ˇ°Then, go for it Watson-Chan!ˇ±

    ˇ°Yeah, he must be done killing every goblin!ˇ±

    ˇ°It seems like he is.ˇ±

    ˇ°But where is he?ˇ±

    ˇ°There, that dark figure is him.ˇ±

    ˇ°We need a way to hold him while I cast the spell.ˇ±

    ˇ°Hmmmˇ­ˇ±

    ˇ°M-Me!?ˇ±

    ˇ°No!ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°I-I canˇŻt do it!ˇ±

    ˇ°Noelle, if we donˇŻt help Ender his mind will cease to exist because of the darkness.ˇ±

    ˇ°Elf nee-chan, we need your help!ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°N-No!ˇ±

    *Slash*

    ˇ°Shit, he found us!ˇ±

    The lifeless Ender body attacked Watson and Draco, but he is unable to see her since the darkness infested body was focused on Draco and WatsonˇŻs noise.

    *Whip*

    *Block*

    ˇ°Draco!ˇ±

    ˇ°ItˇŻs fine, do the spell now!ˇ±

    ˇ°I canˇŻt youˇŻre in the way!ˇ±

    *Whip*

    ˇ°I can handle it!ˇ±

    ˇ°No you canˇŻt!ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes, I can!ˇ±

    ˇ°Summon calamity wolves!ˇ±

    ˇ°Guhhˇ­ˇ±

    ˇ°Watson!ˇ±

    ˇ°N-No!ˇ±

    ˇ°Gahhhh!ˇ±

    The wolves bit DracoˇŻs tail and legs causing severe damage and bleeding, even more damage can cause his early death.

    ˇ°Draco, no!ˇ±

    *shoot*

    ˇ°Noelle!ˇ±

    ˇ°IˇŻm sorry Ender.ˇ±

    ˇ°Zando heal!ˇ±

    ˇ°I got Draco! Noelle do it now!ˇ±

    ˇ°Yes!ˇ±

    ˇ°O great cold, become a power to stop the calamity! Sheer cold!ˇ±

    With that incantation suddenly the air around them was getting colder, Ender was frozen in place unable to escape this cold prison he is in.

    ˇ°AAAAAAˇ±

    ˇ°I guess they did it, they were able to stabilize the calamity.ˇ±

    ˇ°IˇŻm proud of them!ˇ±

    And with that EnderˇŻs body was frozen solid and unable to wake up from this inevitable ice death Noelle cried witnessing his death.

    *sob* ˇ°ENDER-SAMA!ˇ±

    ˇ°HeˇŻs not dead yet!ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°What?ˇ±

    Noelle pulled out her watch and began to touch the frozen body of Ender.

    ˇ°Time dilation: Reverse time!ˇ±

    Suddenly, the pale white body was turned back into his original skin pigment and surprisingly EnderˇŻs heart began to beat again.

    ˇ°Guhhˇ­Glad I made it in time!ˇ±

    ˇ°Watson!ˇ±

    ˇ°IˇŻm okay, I just ran out of mana IˇŻm just tired.ˇ±

    *sob* ˇ°Thank goodness.ˇ±

    Noelle carried Ender, Watson and DracoˇŻs body outside the cave and brought them to the town to aid them.
