Omega Summoner
chapter-847

"I can finally start playing the game after saving all of my money! It might be a waste, but I want to have the chance to change my future." An eighteen-year-old boy stated as he put on the cheapest gaming equipment made by Atlas Inc. which is a VR headset.

He dreamed of playing Pandemonium since the start, but he needed to work his keep. He lives with his grandmother, and she can only provide so much for him which is why he started doing part time jobs. With the part time jobs and thrifty attitude, he managed to scrounge up money within a year's time.

He can also continue the service for at most a year. He really liked the game, and his current idol is none other than the one they call the Demon. He admires him because of the plays he did on the fort invasion and the dark god war.

He felt like he was watching a breathtaking fantasy when he watched the play. He needed to be the one to experience that as well which is why he started the game as soon as he had enough money saved up. He might not become someone like the demon, but he will still try his best to enjoy the time that he has.

He stopped education for one year just to experience the game fully. He also wants to have lesser expenses for his grandmother as college education is not cheap. He wants to save as much money as he can for a year which is why he will play in the afternoon and do part time work in the morning.

He created his character to be that of a human as he wanted to play as a warrior. He did not want to be an orc because they usually have brutish strength. He also did not want to be a dwarf as they have limited reach. He debated whether to be a dark elf or a dragonkin as well, but they have their pros and cons.

He chose the human race because he has no idea on what path as a warrior he wanted to take. The human race is balanced in that aspect since they choose what specialization they can cover despite having no actual racial advantages.

[Do you wish to create the character named 'Ark'?]

"Yes." The eighteen-year-old boy answered as his vision changed to that of a quaint village in the boonies.

Just as he was about o go to the warrior training ground, he bumped into a random child NPC. The little NPC boy looked like he was in a hurry while a Grandmother NPC walked behind him. The little boy did not even apologize for bumping into him but as he ran away.

"I am quite sorry for that dear. My grandson is too free spirited to the point that he only cares about himself." The old woman NPC stated as she apologized on behalf of her grandson.

"This must be the one they call as the rude boy NPC that callously bumps into other people. I have read about him in the forums. I did not think that I will be one of the people who bumps into him. Apparently, he only comes to this place at a specific time for one hour." The newbie, Ark, thought.

"No problem, Ma'am. It is just a bump, and he clearly is just excited in playing around. If you will excuse me." Ark stated as he gave a bow, but the old woman suddenly stopped him.

"I see. If that is what you think then I thank you for your kind heart. I would like to give you something, but I only have these cookies with me. Here have some." The old woman stated as he is given the same cookie that everyone that gets bumped into is given.

[You have been given one piece of Precious Cookie.]

"Ah! You did not have to but thank you very much." Ark stated but the old woman has yet to let him go.

"Umm…Is there anything else that I can do for you?" Ark asked.

"I actually need to deliver these cookies to the sisters in the Nameless Convent. Can you deliver them in my stead? I need to round up my grandson or else he will be a pain for the others." The old woman stated as a quest suddenly popped up in front of him.

"The reward is one bronze coin and I just need to help her, right? Since she resembles my grandmother a lot, I can only do so. I guess I am weak against helpless old ladies." Ark muttered as he accepted the quest since he has nothing else to do at the moment.

"I will gladly accept the quest, but I need to get a job class first. Is that alright? Ark asked as he has yet to get a job class. He already explored the town a bit earlier. He did not expect that he will bump into the little boy when he just already confirmed his decision of what job class to take.

"No problem, dearie. The convent will not go anywhere, and your task will not be too long." The old woman stated as she gave the box of cookies to Ark. Others who saw the scene can only have a look of sadness appear on faces.

The quest line that the poor newbie just unlocked is called the never-ending suffering quest line. Some people attempted it only to give up after an hour because they will need to perform manual labor. They played the game in order to escape from their jobs which is why they quit the moment they learned of the quest.

Some did not finish as those who strived took about a day just doing menial jobs. Some of the players who saw Ark accepting the quest gave him advice to stop after sending the cookies. He promptly told them that he will also do so since he also wants to escape the beginner town easily.

Ark got a job class of warrior since he is not that smart nor is he gifted in archery. He has perseverance and the belief that he can do anything as long as his body can move. He got that belief from doing many parts time jobs which is why he believes that the warrior class is ultimately for him.

He wanted to be like his idol, Equinox, but he is not skilled in commanding monsters or pets. In fact, all the pets that he tried to take care off all died within a year. They did not die of neglect, but it seems that he is not born under a star to take care of animals.

He also does not have great commanding ability which is the number one requirement for summoners. He can be absent minded sometimes and a bit of a pushover when it comes to sweet old people. Which is why he is currently in the predicament that he is in.

He is now currently cleaning the whole area of the Nameless Convent. He did not know how he ended up doing it but the ones taking charge of the church are two sweet elderly nuns. He did not like seeing them exert themselves in cleaning the church which is why he volunteered.

The Nameless Convent is basically a normal establishment. They do not even have priests as they do not worship a god. This is one of the areas that is just for decoration according to the forums. Plus, no rewards are given to the player even if they complete the quests given to them by the two nuns.

There is a reward, but it is favorability. Favorability would have been great if one can return to the starting town but that is not the case. As a result, no player will even bother building favorability from all the NPCs in the starting town.

"Thank you very much, kind lad." The nun wearing white stated.

"Get some rest and drink this water." The nun wearing black stated.

[You have gained maximum favorability towards Sister Whit and Sister Blac.]

"Thank you." Ark replied as he gulped the cup of water which refreshed his stamina bar to full.

"Wow! Never knew that water could be so delicious and refreshing." Ark stated as he believed that water could actually fill one's entire stamina bar to maximum.

"It is the least we can do for you." Sister Whit stated.

"You are the very first to actually finish up cleaning our Nameless Convent after all." Sister Blac stated.

"Is that so? I thought someone must have done it before me." Ark questioned.

"You are the first among many who attempted. Some quit before starting while other quit in the middle. There are a few who almost finished but up when they realized that they took too long." Sister Whit explained.

"It did take you three days to finish everything. For that we will give you a gift." Sister Blac muttered.

The two nuns then poured some mana into Ark and gave him a skill without a rank.
