I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 131
S-Grade Summoned Creature (1)
The champion nation.
And the nation that produced the world’s number one ranker.
Now the entire world was paying attention to South Korea.
“Ha, Rachel… That incredible monster finally had her first place stolen.”
At first, many people couldn’t believe it even when they saw it.
Look at England’s roster!
Was that a roster that should lose to anyone?
If it had been the United States or Japan instead, they wouldn’t have said anything.
“Korea… They’re first place? Where even is that?”
“Everyone keeps saying Jinugod, Jinugod, but what is that? I’ve never heard of it.”
“Looking at the roster during the league, there wasn’t a single world ranker, was there?”
“Huh… England…”
But humans are creatures of adaptation.
If they didn’t know about South Korea in the corner of the East, now they just need to learn.
If they didn’t know Baek Jin-woo, now they just need to engrave him in their minds.
“Anyway, now Baek Jin-woo is the strongest on Earth, right?”
“Of course, right? Look at the footage. No matter how much she lost in psychological warfare, Rachel threw in the towel completely. I still can’t forget that expression at the end.”
“Come on, even so. Rachel has three S-grade summoned creatures, right? If they fought properly again without psychological warfare, wouldn’t Rachel win?”
“Right, seeing Jinugod fight with his Training Instructor… there is a bit of a feeling that he won by force. And honestly, if they just hadn’t accepted the one-on-one duel, it’s obvious as fire that England would have won.”
“Hey, you people! A loss is a loss, why so much talk?”
There were two factions.
The faction that believed Rachel would win in a proper fight!
Most of them were British.
Next was the faction that believed Baek Jin-woo was naturally stronger since he won with a smaller roster!
Most of them were Koreans.
The two factions fought for a long time whenever they met in cyberspace.
However, the firepower was in South Korea’s favor!
It was because countless people around the world sided with Korea.
That’s just human nature.
There were more countries than expected that felt resentment or jealousy toward England, which had controlled and dominated the league for a full three years.
“England, those bastards are just naturally arrogant, seriously.”
“If you lose, that’s the end. What excuses?”
“It’s right there on the board. Jin-woo Baek is number one. They should argue what they can argue.”
“Did someone threaten them with a sword to accept the duel?”
“Honestly, I think Baek Jin-woo would win even if they fought again? Just looking at that scene where he dodged the Great Wizard at the end… He just overwhelmed with pure physicality.”
Thus, South Korea was gradually establishing itself as a hegemonic nation, both in reality and in people’s minds.
After the ranking announcement ceremony ended.
Yubaek City returned to its daily routine.
Even though Baek Jin-woo became world ranking number one, nothing would change.
Same as usual.
Running weekly dungeons, training physical strength and breathing techniques, and training guild members.
There was a lot to do.
He had to climb the Tower of Trials again, his scheduled appointments increased, and Yubaek became even busier.
There were nuclear power and technology coordination issues, new recruit selection issues, Red Rose Clan problems, and he had to meet with Daeseong.
Among all these, Baek Jin-woo saw the S-grade summoned creature as the top priority.
“Drumroll drumroll drumroll!”
“Hyung-nim! Are you drawing right away?”
“Woooah!”
He had explained everything about the MVP reward to the guild members.
He had no intention of hiding it.
They were the ones who fought together, and now they were family.
They should all know.
Swish.
Baek Jin-woo took out a summoning scroll from his inventory.
[100% Summoning Scroll]
[Grade: S-Grade]
[You can randomly draw an S-grade summoned creature.]
[However, 10 ‘Ultimate Summoning Scrolls’ are required for drawing.]
In his left hand was the 100% summoning scroll, and in his right hand he gripped 10 Ultimate Summoning Scrolls at once.
“Wow.”
“How much would this be worth?”
“…Even just one of those Ultimate Summoning Scrolls would be worth whatever price you name.”
The value couldn’t be measured.
Because no one would try to sell them.
Who would sell those summoning scrolls that could not only completely change your life with a 1% chance, but even secure your safety?
– Now, now, everyone! Did you bring water?
Flutter.
Ramba flew around in the sky, urging the guild members.
– Wash your hands clean! With reverent hearts, pray! Hm? Our Jin-woo has very bad luck, so he needs even more people’s wishes!
Hey there, Ramba.
This is a 100% summoning scroll, so that’s not necessary…
“Of course! If it’s for hyung-nim to draw a good summoned creature, we can do anything!”
“Absolutely right!”
“Holy water! Don’t we have holy water?”
“How about alcohol instead of water? The goddess of luck might like alcohol!”
Oh my.
The guild members were even more excited.
Especially Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Ji-ho, those two looked particularly thrilled.
Well.
The results this time were good enough to be excited about.
“Alright, alright, then let’s go right away!”
Baek Jin-woo pumped himself up.
An S-grade summoned creature!
Even in Battle of Summoners, it was a grade he could only have one of in 10 years.
That S-grade happened to be the Destruction Dragon, said to be the strongest among dragon species.
‘Actually, I’d love for the Destruction Dragon to come out right now…’
Then the Chaos Dragon that would appear later would be a piece of cake.
Baek Jin-woo’s past record of 47 seconds was also all thanks to the Destruction Dragon.
Dragon God!
When dragons see a dragon of higher grade than themselves, they freeze up without being able to do anything.
Now.
Shall we give it a try?
Riiip!
Baek Jin-woo refreshingly tore the summoning scroll.
[Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’ uses 100% Summoning Scroll (S-Grade)!]
[Sacrifice is required!]
[Will you return 10 ‘Ultimate Summoning Scrolls’?]
[Would you like to return 10 ‘Ultimate Summoning Books’?]
[Y / N]
‘Yes.’
As he nodded, the Ultimate Summoning Scroll in his right hand melted into him.
The magic that turns ten 1% chances into 100%!
Kwagagagagaga!
Even though it was daytime, the sky suddenly darkened.
“What, what is that!”
“Crazy.”
“Is it really appearing?”
“The effects are insane.”
Lightning crashed down with thunderous roars onto the torn summoning scroll floating in the air.
‘Lightning.’
The lightning motion was similar to when summoning an EX-grade summoned creature.
Could it really be S-grade?
“Indeed!”
“What will emerge!”
“Please!”
What appeared along with the guild members’ cheers was…
– Kiaaaaaaaaaaa!
An incredibly cool lightning bird radiating an aura of awesomeness!
Thunderbird!
“Ooooooh.”
“Woooooow…”
Everyone looked up in admiration at the bird displaying its majestic form.
‘A thunderbird.’
Baek Jin-woo closed his eyes.
Actually, he didn’t really know what kind of summoned creature that was.
He only knew it was clearly a lightning-attribute summoned creature from just looking at it.
[Summoned Creature: Thunderbird]
[Race: Divine Beast]
[Grade: S-grade]
[Level: 1]
[Stats]
Strength: 1, Intelligence: 1, Stamina: 1, Agility: 1
HP: 1,000, MP: 0
Critical Hit Rate: 20%
Critical Hit Damage: 20%
[Skills]
– Thunder Storm: Summons lightning and thunder across a wide area.
– Lightning Machine Gun: Creates and fires thousands of lightning bolts in the sky.
– Thunder’s Roar: When the thunderbird flaps its wings and cries out, massive thunder creates shockwaves that stun surrounding enemies.
– Mark: When the thunderbird’s gaze reaches a target, it deals additional lightning attribute damage.
– Storm Flight: The thunderbird becomes invincible for 10 seconds while merging with Thunder Storm.
‘Insane.’
Just looking at the visible skills, it was incredible.
A stun skill, invincibility evasion skill, self-damage buff, and perfect area and single-target damage – a complete all-weather summoned creature.
And that was only at level 1.
It was a summoned creature whose potential abilities hadn’t even been unlocked yet.
“…This is crazy, isn’t it?”
When Baek Jin-woo expressed genuine admiration, the guild members all gathered around.
“Really?”
“Show us too!”
“Please share the information, boss!”
Baek Jin-woo showed them.
“…”
“…”
Everyone became speechless.
It was much better than they had thought!
These skills truly felt like they far surpassed A-grade!
Just thinking about training with that.
It was already thrilling.
It felt like they could enter the world ranking top 10 with just that one existence in the next league.
Gulp.
Everyone swallowed.
Even those without possessive desires would develop them after seeing that.
These were players, after all.
“…This won’t do.”
Finally, Kang Ji-ho muttered.
“I need to draw too.”
“Huh?”
“What?”
When the guild members asked in surprise.
“We got some too! Three Ultimate Summoning Scrolls! And I have one more that I got while climbing the Tower of Trials, right? Four total! I’m just going to use them all!”
“Hey, hey hey!”
Hong Ari was shocked and tried to stop him.
Was he crazy?
Trusting a 1% chance and using four scrolls?
Those expensive things?
It would be great if it worked out well… but there was a high probability of throwing away an enormous amount of valuable money into thin air.
“Boss said so! Without challenges, there’s no growth or achievement!”
“Hey, you crazy bastard! That’s not what he meant by those words!”
“…But you know.”
It was then that Hwang Ju-won grabbed his chin with a serious expression.
“There is some logic to it. Nine of us each received 3 scrolls… That’s 27 total. If we all use them together, wouldn’t we at least get one lucky hit?”
“What are you saying!”
Hong Ari shouted in frustration, but Hwang Ju-won didn’t care.
“A 27% chance seems worth trying, doesn’t it?”
“Oh no, surely not, mister.”
Hong Ari, who had once been an engineering student, frowned.
“Hm?”
“You don’t actually think 27 scrolls with 1% each means 27% chance, do you?”
“Huh? Isn’t that right?”
Hwang Ju-won blinked.
“Ugh.”
Hong Ari made a choking sound.
No wonder players get criticized for being ignorant!
Sigh.
Let’s calculate.
If we assume tearing one summoning scroll, the probability of not getting anything is 99%.
So then?
The probability of not getting it 27 times in a row is 0.99^27.
You have to subtract this from the total probability.
In other words, 1 – 0.99^27.
Roughly calculated, it comes out to about 23.77%.
“About 24%! No, and whether it’s 27% or 24%, they’re both low numbers, so why tear through all of them?”
“…Life’s a gamble anyway. Hehe.”
“What if we fail? Do you have a backup plan? If another 100% summoning scroll comes out later, you’ll be beating the ground in regret, right? By then, we won’t even have 10 items to sacrifice.”
While the guild members were arguing back and forth about what was right.
“Hmm.”
Baek Jin-woo pondered inwardly.
Would it be right to use this Thunder Bird?
He knew from long experience.
The higher the S-rank, the exponentially harder it is to raise, and if you can’t raise it properly, it’s better not to raise it at all.
‘Of course, that Thunder Bird’s skills are flashy and good.’
But?
Would it be as good as Pokryong’s Predation?
The answer was absolutely not.
If all S-ranks were overpowered, Baek Jin-woo would never have been able to beat Rachel.
She had three S-ranks after all.
‘Then?’
Give this to one of the guild members?
That also felt a bit off.
No matter how he thought about it, it seemed like he could raise it stronger than those guys could.
‘Should I just give it a spot for now?’
Who knows?
Maybe if I unlock its potential abilities, another overpowered summoned creature like an EX-rank will be born.
Baek Jin-woo’s contemplation…
Was quickly ended by someone’s contact.
Ding!
A text message that came to his phone.
[Rachel: Baek Jin-woo.]
[Rachel: Can I contact you for a moment?]
Huh?
Rachel?
What’s going on?
