Omega Summoner

Adrian was whacked in the head but it did not hurt much. It seems the paper fan produces loud sounds instead of it actually hurting a lot giving the illusion that its strikes deal great damage. Adrian then inspected the fan to make sure of its use.

Weapon: Slapstick Paper Fan

Tier: Uncommon

Damage: 1~5

Volume up Enchantment: Sounds produced will be amplified by 10 times.

Description: A paper fan that was enchanted by the Master Scribe Aernas. Used for comedic purposes. The only thing this fan can damage are small insects.

Adrian chuckled when he read the description of the paper fan and he was whacked again which he then stared at the sho..the boy with dumbfounded eyes. Adrian’s eyes were telling the words ‘ why you hit me again?’. Before Adrian could mouth it though the boy opened his mouth and spoke.

“I felt like you were looking down on me that is why I hit you again but I am sure that you know the reason why I hit you the first time.” the boy said.

“I am sorry” Adrian said while he bowed. Now that Adrian has a good look at the boy, he noticed he was just like him an imp but has bigger horns and his skin tone is different. Now that Adrian could recall, other daemos people have different skin tone maybe it is because of the persona. Ascalor did say that the Asmodian lineage members could “evolve” which is the reason why Ascalor is only tinged with blue unlike Adrian who is blue. As Adrian was in his thought, another person entered into the establishment with vigor and a joyful aura that burst Adrian out of his thinking bubble.

“Aernas-chan…Your big sister is here.” An alluring woman’s voice said.

Adrian and the boy looked towards the source of the voice and the boy paled. He wanted to run away but tripped in his own black robes. Adrian now has a better image of the woman when he picked up the boy and hugged him with his face suffocating from his bosom. The woman was none other than Jianna which means the boy’s name was Aernas.

“Eh..He was Aernas then that means he is the Master Scribe. You really should not just a book by its cover but still why is a Master Scribe in the form of a boy.” Adrian thought.

Aernas was struggling with breathing and trying his best to get rid of Jianna when she noticed Adrian.

“Oh..Hi Equinox. You did not tell me you were here. Why did you not stop by my shop if you were coming here?” Jianna said with a cutesy pose.

Before Adrian could answer, Aernas manage to break free from Jianna’s grasp and whacked her with the paper fan like he did to Adrian. When Aernas did that Adrian now know what is actually the use for the paper fan. He does not know why Jianna is acting like that though. She is has a promiscuous personality but she also shows restraint which is actually shocking because she was an NPC. It was because of Jianna that Adrian is still amazed by the game because the NPCs have a lifelike personality.

“Umm.. I could step outside if you two are not finished with your business.” Adrian said as he could see Jianna wanting to pounce on Aernas again.

Seeing the awkward remark of Adrian, Aernas coughed and gave Jianna a look to behave which she did but had a pouty look on her face.

“Well then young man, what can I do for you as the owner of this establishment?” Aernas said with a proud smile on his face but lacking the dignity because of his cute look. Adrian could see Jianna struggling to control herself from pinching Aernas’ cheeks.

“You see. I am actually looking for a possible sub job class and I just happen to stumble into your establishment because I was curious on what a Scribe could do.” Adrian spoke honestly.

Aernas was happy that someone was actually interested in his profession but he did not show it in his face but maintained a stoic expression. Aernas the spoke in a bragging tone. .

” If you must know, being a scribe is one of the most important of all jobs. It deals with fundamental building blocks of magic itself(cue echo sound effect).” Aernas said while raising his hands up. He must think he looks cool but he only looks cute.

“If you are looking for a sub job class, I would be happy to become your mentor. I would not mind a cute apprentice.” Jianna said to Adrian while Aernas could be seen glaring at her.

Adrian then spoke ” I do not think alchemy is that helpful for me in battle and I can’t really concoct potions when in battle. I need a sub job that could assist me in battle because I want to go in adventures and traverse different worlds”.

When Adrian spoke those words, Aernas beamed with delight because he could actually help this young lad and he was not able to get an apprentice ever since their stay in the Paradox Planes. Aernas then spoke.

” If you insist on usefulness in battle then I suggest being a scribe. A scribe can increase the effectiveness of magic because we understand archaic knowledge that no one but us can comprehend. You being a summoner as I can see you summons outside must know that having magic assists you in battle. Also, as you can see from my workplace, scribes not only increases magic’s effectiveness but creates talismans for offense, defense and utility but also could enchant items unlike Enchanters that rely on the elements to give power to items.”

Adrian’s ears perked up and Aernas could see the attention Adrian was giving him. Jianna found their interaction cute and bid farewell to both of them and told Adrian to come by her shop before he goes on adventures. Aernas told her not to bother him again but Jianna just shrugged his remark. Aernas also told Adrian that being a scribe not only increases magic effectiveness but could also give the magic spell new power that it does not possess normally. Being a scribe was a noble job back when people were exploring magic because scribes were the record holders and researchers at that time but they were also the first to be targeted during the invasion of the corruptants. Scribes would be killed if they did not switched sides because they hold untold knowledge that the world does not know. The more Adrian knows about being a scribe, the more he wants to become one but Aernas also gave him a reminder.

” Although being a scribe is wonderful and it could make you powerful, the difficulty in becoming one would also be high. So if you want to be on a journey in becoming a scribe, be prepared for the hardships.”

Adrian is now seriously thinking about the benefits and the cost. Since he relies in magic, he should have great benefits by becoming a scribe. He could opt for other easier sub jobs but the return would not be as great also. Adrian firmed his morale and told Aernas that he wants to become one. Aernas looked at Adrian’s dedication and gave him a test instead because he does not want a lazy bum to degrade the name of Scribes. Adrian was then presented a book and he got a quest from Aernas because of it.

●Quest Notification●

Scribe Qualification Test

Aernas wants to test you if you are compatible in becoming a scribe, one of the most difficult of professions. Prove to him that you could surpass his expectations and become a great scribe in the future.

Clear Conditions: Past Aernas Test

Time Limit: 8 hours to Study the material before Aernas proceeds with the test.

Quest Reward: Master Scribe Aernas will approve of you becoming a scribe.

Aernas then told Adrian the things inside the book. The book is a beginner guide in all the languages and symbols used in magic for this world. There are other books that talks about the details of magic from different worlds but Aernas thought that this world’s fundamental magic would be appropriate to test Adrian.

Adrian took the book and went to a desk with a chair with a window view to see his soulbounds playing outside to give him a change of scenery so that studying would not become boring. Adrian did not think that even in game he would study. He just finished high school and took a hiatus from entering university because of his condition but he still did not predict that he would study in a game. He does believe in the saying that knowledge is power. He first started reading the first chapters of the book that talks about how magic is formed in this world and Adrian thought it was fascinating that the gods designed the worlds to bend to the will of the people given training but also limit the authorization of what they could control. And just like that many hours flew by.
