Omega Summoner

Chapter 740: Merlin

A genius magic spell caster player is what others call Merlin and they should as she could use all of the four basic elements. Others do not know why she is not telling the whole player base of her real in-game race, but Adrian could more or less deduce why.

”She is afraid that people will tell that all her effort in getting great in the game stem from her being of a race that is unique. Comments like, ʼYou are only that good because you are like this and thatʼ or ʼIf you were just like us then you would be a nobodyʼ.” Adrian stated as he sipped his tea with his right cheek being red due to Minaʼs simple revenge.

”I get that people can get jealous and that is an ugly thing but that is part of the process of being in the spotlight.” Jade stated as she knows what fame can do as even, she read some nasty articles about herself in the forums that she just wanted to slap those people in real life.

”I get that, but some people are never really the same as you that can just shrug those negative comments out. Some people develop traumatic experiences due to the things that they encountered in their childhood. She might look confident but people like that often show their confident self in order to hide the insecure and small person that they really are.” Adrian replied.

”What are you feeing to my grandson that he suddenly became a wise sage. You should act a little spoiled like the young person you are. Your father often brought girls to the house when he was your age just to boast. You should act spoiled in front of your grandpa alright!” Adrianʼs grandfather stated as he gave Adrian a pat in the back.

”Yeah! You should act spoiled!” Marlon stated but he whispered a sentence in the end that said, ”so that we can also be spoiled. Let your blessings rain on your friends”.

”Back to the topic and ignore the doofus, is she really that insecure? You must not speak that badly of my idol or else! Then again, it adds another layer to her character that makes her vulnerabe. I think I am becoming a die-hard Merlin fan now!” Jade stated as she clutched her heart.

”Yeah. Those two are really meant to be together.” Adrian stated as he looked at Marlon and Jade with judging eyes.

Like Adrian said, Merlin is afraid that all of the efforts that she did will be swept under the rug once people learn that she is of the Daemonio race. She has always been a gifted person but all the people in the surroundings would often say that she got it from her parents due to being rich or she is just like her siblings as they were also talented.

She developed an inferiority complex that made her feel that everything she did is not good enough to define her. This is the reason why she decided to become something for herself that no other person can copy. She found that through Pandemonium by playing as a mage.

In fact, she was not a Daemonio when she started the game as she only unlocked the race when Emrys noticed her talent in manipulating two elements. She caught the eye of the greatest mage in the imperial capital due to her own talents and effort. This is actually the first time that she grew proud of herself and started to regain the confidence that she needed.

A few twists and turns happened, and she became a Daemonio from a special ritual that can only be done every hundred years. She was glad that she turned into a new race as this would certainly get her many views and fans in her broadcasts but one interview that she had triggered her inferiority complex.

”Many players are praising the demon player that appeared and even said that he could potentially be the ruler of Pandemonium. Although, there is also another side that says that the demon player is only powerful because he is a demon. What are your thoughts on the subject of a playerʼs talent is only good if he is of a different race?”

That very question made Merlin stop what she was about to broadcast to the world that she is actually half demon and half human. Her mastery of the four elements is already well known at that point and many wanted to know the secret of her talent.

Merlin did not answer the last question given to her but instead gave an answer that is safe. She said that her mastery of the four elements is a testament to her own effort and tenacity to never give up. In fact, it is true as talent is useless without the effort of the one who has the talent.

She does not know this or refuses to accept this fact as she was never raised in an environment that fostered that type of thinking. She does not have a very strong heart or will to not get carried away by the opinions of others. She is not unique in that aspect as many people are like her that needs the validation of other to feel like a person.

If she just believed in herself more than the voices of others, then she would have already been crowned as the best mage in the game. Instead, that spot is taken by Eldritch.

”Dual Earth and Aqua Sphere!” Merlin stated as she fired off a combination elemental attribute attack.

The Twin Blades had to slice the magic again in half but the opening they presented made the four elemental golems do direct damage on them. The Twin Blades got pushed to the muddy floor and noticed that something is pinning them down on the muddy floor.

Two giant hands are now grabbing each of them. They sensed an aura that exploded from a distance and that is none other than Pendragon.
