Omega Summoner

Chapter 4 - Job Selection

Many would think that the Summoner job was overpowered due to its job characteristics but the Pandemonium community would beg to differ. When the class was first released a lot of beginners tried the job but soon found out that the summons that job uses also funnels experience which means that Summoners have slower leveling speed. Especially if you have all your summons out which will be dependent of the job class since jobs can be upgraded.

Due to this quirk, the summoner job has lesser popularity to elite gamers but somewhat popular for casual players who want to experience fluffing a monster or riding one. Another quirk or rather flaw of this job is that if the summoner falls in battle, his summons would be deactivated thus some players call this job the walking target. This was the job that Adrian chose not because he is a loner. He has a few friends in-game but they were already high level and it would take time for him to catch up. Thus he made a decision to enjoy the game rather than become a hardcore gamer.

After walking for quite a bit, He finally reached his destination. He was standing outside the Genesis Pet Shop. He opened the door and saw a wide variety of animals and beasts also Gaius the Summoner NPC that will give the player the requirements for you to acquire the job. He looked like a jolly old man or like that old grandpa that all the grandchildren adore.

"Hello! How can I help you young man?" Gauis said.

"I am Equinox and would like to become a Summoner please" Adrian said.

"An aspiring Summoner I see. First, we need to test your compatibility with beasts then." Gauis said.

A screen popped in front of Adrian.

Quest: Gauis wants you to choose an animal in his shop and raise its affection towards you by 10%.

Reward: Summoner Job, Basic Soul Gloves, Beginner Summoner armor set, Inspect skill, Seal skill, Summon skill

Will you accept the Quest? Yes or No

"Yes, I accept" Adrian uttered.

"Please pick a beast that you want to raise its affection with." Gauis reiterated.

Adrian remembered that the easiest way to accomplish this task is with a domesticated animal like dogs or cats. So he did just that. He scanned the shop and found an obsidian colored puppy so he reluctantly pick that one because it was a dog plus it was super adorable.

"Hello there, I am Equinox. What is your name?" Adrian said. He obviously asked this sarcastically as he did not expect the pup to answer. The pup instead tilted its head to the side like it did care for Adrian's existence.

"It is not easy as it seems like the forum dictated" Adrian thought. Unaware that he was being observed by Gauis who is smiling as the NPC thought.

"So he chose that puppy. He will definitely have a difficult time since even that puppy has not warmed up to me".

Adrian spent an hour just to try and boost his affection by at least 1% but instead only to see it at 0.2%. He barely raised it but he was determined and the puppy also noticed his determination as he was not the first to try and raise its affection many tried but gave up when half an hour passed. The puppy was amused by this human that wants to curry his favor.

Adrian noticed the affection boost to 3% which he was super delighted about that he did a little celebratory dance that was silly in the eyes of the puppy. About 4 hours past in-game and finally Adrian managed to boost the affection to 10% which he did painstakingly but he did not notice it was that long since he was having fun. He took the puppy out of the cage, holding it in his arms and went to Gauis.

"Gauis! I did it" Adrian said.

Although shocked and amazed, Gauis replied "Well done Equinox you have passed the test with flying colors at that".

Quest Clear Notification:

Gauis is very pleased with your hard work and determination thus you will obtain a bonus reward.

"Bonus reward? That's the first time I heard of that" Adrian thought.
