Omega Summoner
chapter-281

After all the ruckus that Adrian made, he was logged out because he already exceeded the time one can play the game. He was so focused on the game that when he logged out it was already the most important day for everyone in his country which is Christmas.

Adrian's country basically breathes Christmas as they often start hanging decorations around late September. Christmas is not a day in Adrian's country but a season due to how long people start celebrating it. Nevertheless, the reason that Adrian logged out quickly because his time was shortened by his mother.

He did not need to know that though as he was immediately called upon the dinner table to feast. Adrian was already super hungry due to being in game for quite some time. He is greeted with a feast that is surely too much for four people.

He went to his room with a full stomach and browsed the forum for a while as it has become his nightly routine although it was already pass midnight. It seems that those that are online for Christmas has received a gift.

Adrian checked the update section to see if there was a surprise event and there was.

*SURPRISE CHRISTMAS EVENT*

The Spirit of Christmas has arrived at Pandemonium for a short visit. You will either be given a gift or a punishment depending on how you behave for the past days that you have been playing Pandemonium.

The reward given to you will be received once you log in during December 25-December 31 12:00 P.M. The reward can only be taken during this event period without any issues and will no longer be available after the deadline.

Those that received punishment should beware the playful wrath of Krampus. Be careful as he hunts down those that are naughty.

There is also a Two Times Experience Multiplier during the event duration.

"It seems that it is a reward system to check if you have been good this year. The only scary thing about it is that they did not indicate what they would be using as a measurement of good deeds. If they based it on the facts on how other people treat each other then I am practically screwed." Adrian thought to himself as he remembered what he did to the others.

There was a time that he did not indicate a friendly fire option in his Vortex skill so other players got swept up. He forgot if some player got killed because he did not get a PK warning if ever he killed some. He also did some shady things that are only slight offenses but could still get him listed on the naughty list.

Adrian could feel that he will end up in the naughty list but the experience multiplier is too sweet of a deal. He needed the levels right now as he will now focus on grinding them in order to challenge a world boss needed for Sirius evolution plus the Trial of the Dragon King that is popping on his screen every time he logs in.

It seems that other dragons have sensed Kanlaon as a worthy candidate because dragons with two attributes are rare. Another reason could be that the dragon lady from the east tattled on Kanlaon's existence.

Another reason is that Adrian has already tasted immense power and he wants to experience it again. He has not yet used all magic abilities a demon can do because he only knows a few of them. He wanted to imagine the thought of being to bend space easily with one's will but he needs to become an Arch Demon first.

Adrian also needs to tackle the first part of his mission to become an Arch Demon. He needs to absorb another energy and he already has the item for it but he needs an enclosed location for that. He needs to efficiently absorb the energy because the totem he got is not even full.

"I need sleep to even try what I will about to do anyway so I just hope that the thing waiting for me later would be a reward rather than a punishment." Adrian stated as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

====

Adrian logged in the moment he woke up. He did not even try getting breakfast because his stomache is still full from the food that he ate last night.

Adrian is greeted by the same screen that tells every person that they successfully logged in but he is also greeted by another one.

[You have been judge to be a good boy by the Spirit of Christmas. You have received a Merry Voucher that will spin the lucky wheel. Let us hope your luck is as great as your good deeds!]

Adrian breathe a sigh of relief because he did not have to do the penalty. It seems that his other deed were not judge as problematic as it seems it is judge based on the allegiance one is based on. If it were not then a lot of people who did quest for the dark gods would be punished easily.

"I guess it makes sense because of the nature of this game but still the Spirit of Christmas is very finicky. Anyways, it seems that the Infernofrost Ridge has disappeared and a temple has replaced itself on its area." Adrian stated as he is now in front of a tall pagoda looking building.

The pagoda is about ten stories tall with statues of the Vermillion Bird decorated all around it. It seems that there are also priests already there as it is them that greeted Adrian. He thought it was strange but the last sentence in the world message did indicate that the Vermillion Bird's followers are risen once more.

Adrian is led to the top of the pagoda where there are bells that continuously chimed. The shrine maides started to dance and the bells chimed for each time they clap. When the shrine maidens finished their ritual, the Vermillion Bird dropped down from the heavens with a blinding light. It showed the full dignity of a divine beast.
