Omega Summoner

Adrian easily stacked the 44 pieces of firewood into a respectable stack. He used twenty four pieces of the firewood pieces for a square stack while the remaining ones were used for the cone interior stack. Adrian emitted a cry of satisfaction when he properly stacked the firewood.

“I am finally done. Did I do a good job?” Adrian asked the village chief.

“Yes! You did a very good job. I bet the other villagers agree as well.” The Timber village chief enthusiastically replied.

The villagers have finally opened up to Adrian even if it was just a little. At the very least, the villagers are no longer scared when Adrian meets their gaze. Some of the children in the village even became curious about his soulbounds but Sirius told Adrian something that bothered him a little.

“Master, the air in this place feel different.” Sirius stated.

“I have to agree with big brother, Master.” Kanlaon added but to the villagers could only hear barks and ticks.

Adrian also thought of this because the air of the village is different. He thought that it was all in his head because it has been a long time since he entered a normal village. Still, Adrian did think that this village is a bit odd and it remained in the back of his mind.

“I now give you the final quest. It will not be challenging but it is rather tricky.” The Timber Village Chief stated.

“It is fine. I can handle the task.” Adrian replied.

“Let us go, young man. We need to hurry up before it gets dark as our ceremony must be held during the night.” The Timber Village Chief stated as she walked west of the village.

Adrian easily followed her and is quite shocked because she was faster than she looked. The Timber Village Chief also had a great deal of dignity with each of her stride. Adrian’s walking speed was already quick because he was above level 100 but the Village Chief which was not greatly over-leveled is keeping pace with him.

Adrian is guided to a quaint looking cave that is only about a twenty feet deep and ten feet wide. The shrine inside the cave was not creepy and it was rather simple. There is a fire inside of the cave that is the size of two feet. The shrine is also adorned with some used up hunting gears, monster pelt and horns.

“This is the shrine of our god but alas no one even remembers him. Not even we remember his glory which might be the reason why we are still restless.” The Timber Village Chief stated as she looked at the small flame burning inside the cave,

“I see. No wonder I can feel that the feel of the village is different. All of you are already dead. Your souls have yet to ascend to the death realm.” Adrian stated as he activated his Shephard of Lost Souls title and saw the real form of the Timber Village Chief.

Adrian immediately saw the ghostly form of the Timber Village Chief and is not shocked. He then took out a firewood in his inventory and lit it up using the bonfire. Adrian did not ask the Timber Village Chief on what to do because he knows that she would not be able to do it.

“Let us go. The sun has already set. The other villagers are waiting for us and I must fulfill my duty as the Shephard of Lost Souls.” Adrian stated as he cancelled the effect of his Glamour skill.

The Timber Village Chief was surprised but it was the pleasant kind because she could feel something soothing coming out of Adrian. The aura surrounding Adrian made her feel calm which was very welcoming for her as she is considered a restless spirits.

“While we go back to the village, can you tell me how your whole village ended up like this?” Adrian asked as he knew that a whole village getting wiped out without showing breakages is unreal.

“You might have seen us outside but our village suffered from a sickness that killed us all in our sleep. Our bodies has already became ash as it has already been two hundred years since that terrible incident.” The Timber Village Chief stated.

“I am terribly sorry but now that I am here. All of you will certainly be led to the gates of limbo.” Adrian replied as they finally reached the village.

The villagers who saw Adrian’s real form did not get scared but rather became enthralled by him. Adrian did not bother with the gaze and immediately lit up the bonfire that brightened up the dark village. The villagers then formed a circle and started singing in a language that Adrian does not know.

The howl of wolves then sounded in the distance as if they are sending away spirits. Even Sirius joined the howl of the wolves and Adrian noticed that the fire was getting too bright and big. The bonfire then showed the figure of a man wearing the fur of a bear with deer horns.

Strangely enough, Adrian did not feel threatened but rather the fire silhouette looked rather thankful towards the former. The Timber villagers started crying upon the sight of their forgotten deity. Afterwards, Adrian saw the villagers disappearing one by one with a big smile on their face. .

“It seems that this is goodbye. We can finally see the light as our guardian deity is guiding us towards the other side. I am thankful to you, young man. May luck always be with you.” The Timber Village Chief stated with a smile as her ghostly figure finally disappeared.

Adrian wanted to know where the axe was as he checked the village chief’s house as it was not there. He then noticed that something is gleaming on the location where the bonfire has been. Adrian then found that there are two items sitting on the ashes.

“No way!” Adrian shouted.
