I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 180

Let’s Draw to Our Heart’s Content

“Wow.”

“Wh-what is all this? Don’t tell me these are all top-grade summoning scrolls?”

“…You’re just scattering summoning scrolls worth hundreds of billions, trillions of won that you can’t even buy with money these days? No, how many are there.”

“It’s hard to even count them.”

It was mind-boggling.

[C-grade: 94%]

[B-grade: 5%]

[A-grade: 1%]

The probability for top-grade summoning scrolls was like this.

The expected value of A-grade summons that could come out here was about 13.

They say A-grade.

But just summoning them is priceless.

Even the members of SKY Guild, called the world’s best, could count their A-grade summons on their fingers!

Should I list them?

Hong Ari’s Phoenix, An Gi-jeong’s Poison King, Kang Ji-ho’s Mad Demon, Oh Sun-young’s Fenrir, Kang Geon-ho’s Paladin and Dark Knight, Hwang Ju-won’s Yggdrasil, Gi Jae-hyeok’s Goblin Master, Hwang Ji-woo’s Ice Bird.

Exactly 9 creatures.

In the case of Song Yeon-hee or the newcomers, they didn’t even have A-grade ones.

Therefore.

It was natural for everyone to sparkle their eyes and clasp their hands together.

Chuckle.

Baek Jin-woo laughed.

“If I think what comes out suits you, I’ll coolly give it to you, so let’s all take a look.”

“Waaaaaaah!”

“Guildmaster is the best!”

“As expected of you, hyung!”

However.

If Mayeo came out, it would definitely be Baek Jin-woo’s.

‘The probability of it coming out is almost zero though.’

Still.

He had memories of drawing Ramba in one shot during the old tutorial.

It was worth having hope.

“Oppa!”

Baek A-jin also came running from far away.

Our sales manager!

She would sell the useless B-grade or C-grade summons at high prices.

“Kyaa! How many are all these!”

Baek A-jin was also shocked seeing the pile of summoning scrolls.

And they were all top-grade summoning scrolls!

For C-grade, cheap ones cost 10 million won and expensive ones exceed 100 million, and B-grade averages 200 million won.

A-grade?

That’s guild assets.

You shouldn’t sell them unless absolutely necessary.

“How did you know I had no work lately and give such a gift…!”

Especially in Baek A-jin’s case, 20% of the sales proceeds still belonged to her.

“Just draw anything! I’ll try to sell it for the highest price!”

With this.

Everyone here began pouring their wishes into that pile of top-grade summoning scrolls.

‘Please, an A-grade summon that suits me!’

‘Only expensive ones come out!’

‘I should get something too, right?’

‘Let’s get just one… Just one. If only A-grade comes out… Climbing the 50th floor would become easier!’

Gulp.

They waited, swallowing their saliva.

If they were lucky, it would be like hitting several lotteries, so naturally expectations had to rise.

“Phew.”

Baek Jin-woo rubbed his palms.

Actually, it was bothersome…

It would be nice if someone else could draw for him, but that wouldn’t work.

Mayeo (EX-grade) could only be drawn by him.

“Shall we go then?”

“Let’s gooooo!”

“Let’s go!”

“Please! Gods of heaven and earth! I beseech you, I beseech you!”

A drawing festival filled with everyone’s wishes!

Just as Baek Jin-woo was about to grab and tear the paper with both hands.

“Um, um…!”

Someone cautiously raised their hand.

‘Who?’

Ah.

It’s the new recruit.

Was it Han Yu-na?

“What’s the matter?”

“Ah, by any chance.”

She hesitated then courageously shouted.

“This broadcast… No, broadcasting might be a bit much! Could we at least film this scene?!”

Filming?

‘Ah.’

Then the equipment came to mind.

He remembered that equipment he had left in the CEO’s office as soon as he arrived.

He hadn’t handed it over to the documentary team yet…

‘Hmm.’

It certainly seemed like it would be a good memory to leave as a video record.

What should he do?

As Baek Jin-woo remained silent while thinking, Han Yu-na’s expression gradually turned pale.

‘Aaaah! Did I speak out of turn?’

It was scary.

She was afraid of getting on the guildmaster’s bad side right after joining.

“Hmm.”

Hong Ari, who had been quiet, stepped forward and provided additional explanation.

“She’s called BJ Luna, and she became our guild’s official publicity ambassador. Jia Unni approved it.”

“Really?”

Yu Ji-a’s approval.

Then it was immediately approved.

“Go ahead and film.”

“R-really?”

“Yes, but you have to film everyone looking good and pretty.”

“Of c-course! That’s my specialty!”

Han Yu-na excitedly set up the camera.

Then.

Shall we start tearing them open in earnest?

Riiip!

And so.

The gacha festival officially began at the main training ground.

Rip, rip!

I’ve torn open summoning scrolls many times before.

‘This brings back memories.’

I used to tear open 10,000 scrolls daily at Player Headquarters in exchange for information.

That’s how I got our Hunkyo and Pokryong.

Compared to that grind, this is nothing.

Right now it’s only 1,282 scrolls.

Rip, rip!

Baek Jin-woo tore through the summoning scrolls at rapid speed.

“Whoa! It’s C-rank?”

“Ohhh! This time it’s B-rank! A Sky Wyvern? I never thought I’d see one here!”

The players here?

They’re all veterans now.

The cream of the crop in Korea.

They could identify the rank and name of popular summons just by looking at their forms.

How much time had passed like this?

Rummmble!

Lightning effects appeared!

[Using ‘Supreme Summoning Scroll’!]

[Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’ has obtained summon ‘Volkolak’ (A-rank)!]

“Oh, ohhh?”

“Whaaaat?”

Everyone was startled.

Why?

Because it was a summon they’d never seen before!

“It’s Volkolak.”

Baek Jin-woo read it aloud.

It looked like a wolf, but with dark wisps rising from it, giving off a slightly ghostly feeling?

Looking at its species, it was indeed from the wolf tribe.

“Oh Sun-young?”

“Yes!”

“This seems like it’s for you, Oh Sun-young. Congratulations.”

She had a graduation rune called ‘Howling’ related to wolves.

Wolf tribe summons were most efficient when she used them.

“Th-thank you!”

Bow.

She bowed her head and approached to carefully proceed with the trade.

“Wow…”

“I’m jealous.”

“Of all things, a wolf tribe!”

“Meee! Please come out, goblins!”

“Hehe, isn’t there any poison-related summon besides goblins?”

Gi Jae-hyeok specialized in goblins, and An Gi-jeong specialized in poison.

“Then I’ll continue tearing.”

Rip, rip.

Like this.

Baek Jin-woo continued tearing through the remaining scrolls.

“Phew.”

It was finished.

In conclusion, there was no Mayeo.

‘Well.’

It would be strange if one appeared.

Still, there were decent results.

He pulled 65 useful B-rank summons, and Baek A-jin happily received them.

And.

The luck with A-ranks wasn’t great.

A total of 10 appeared.

First, 5 of them had suitable guild members, so he gave them away on the spot.

Volkolak – Oh Sun-young

Phoenix – Hong Ari

Jormungandr – Hwang Ji-woo

Grimlock – Gi Jae-hyeok

Lamina – An Gi-jeong

Hong Ari hit the jackpot.

Another Phoenix appeared.

She had now become a player leading two Phoenixes in addition to her S-rank Jujak.

She’s really a god of fire, a god!

Since she’s a woman, is she a goddess?

‘Jormungandr is.’

A glacial serpent.

It’s an ice attribute dealer, so I gave it to Hwang Ji-woo who has flame delay.

‘Grimlock.’

It’s said to be an existence called the King of Goblins.

If Goblin Master is a warrior, then Grimlock is a king.

It summons numerous goblins and gives them buffs.

“Ahhhhhhh.”

Naturally, the goblin enthusiast Gi Jae-hyeok went crazy with joy.

“Boss, I love you! I respect you!”

He even bowed while expressing his happiness.

Could that really make him so happy?

Such peculiar tastes.

It’s something I’ll never understand.

‘Lamina is…’

Said to be the Queen of Serpents.

Looking through her skills once.

Poison fog, injection of deadly poison…

They were all poison-related, so I immediately gave it to An Gi-jeong.

“To receive Lamina after the Poison King. Thank you, guild master. I’ll truly devote my loyalty to SKY.”

“Don’t mention it.”

And that’s the end!

The remaining five summons?

Terion, Mirage, Vargas, Unicorn, Magma Giant.

Like this.

I planned to interview the newcomers once and distribute these appropriately.

“Newcomers?”

“Yes!”

Ah.

Now that they’re part of the same family, is it a bit awkward to keep calling them newcomers?

I’ve memorized their names anyway.

“I’ll conduct interviews in order from Han Yu-na to Kang Dae-hyeok.”

The full-scale consulting began.

Players and summoned creatures must be compatible with each other.

What if a quiet, shy hikikomori tried to handle a berserker?

That would be problematic.

Not only would they fail to properly understand those crazy emotions, but they’d likely fail to fill the void.

In that sense, interviews are really important.

First, Han Yu-na.

Age 24.

Judging by her broadcasting, she has a lively personality.

Her main summoned creatures are Luna (B-rank) and Spark (B-rank)?

An elf archer and an elf assassin.

‘Not very good.’

Baek Jin-woo had used them before.

No matter how much you draw out their potential, they’re only good up to the middle floors of the Tower of Trials.

Go beyond that and their potential drops.

“I-it’s so good to meet you! I respect you, Guildmaster!”

“Yes, nice to meet you.”

Though she seemed tense and stiff, she couldn’t hide her overflowing energy.

“First, are you planning to keep using Luna and Spark?”

“Those two are the most comfortable for me! They were also the first B-rank summoned creatures I drew, and I’ve grown quite attached to them!”

“Attachment.”

That’s definitely important.

The deeper the bond between player and summoned creature, the easier control becomes.

“Okay, then let’s keep using those two.”

“…Thank you.”

“For now, try using Spark effectively together with Mirage.”

“Mirage means…”

Han Yu-na’s eyes widened.

“Yes, it’s an A-rank I drew this time. It’s a fox, but it’s closer to assassination. It should be good for PVP too, so try going all-in on the assassination route.”

“An assassination fox… Yes! I understand! It seems like my style!”

One fox for Han Yu-na!

The next interview subject was Seo I-yun.

Age 28.

She was the same age as Baek Jin-woo and Hong Ari.

“I don’t really have a main summoned creature… And I don’t have any B-rank summoned creatures either.”

Oh.

So she passed the admission test with only C-rank summoned creatures.

Her control must be pretty good?

Hunkyo, who was watching from the side, whispered.

– She has outstanding talent. I think it would be fine to give her somewhat difficult summoned creatures.

“Hmm.”

Baek Jin-woo pondered for a moment, then made a cool decision.

“I’ll give you Terion and Vargas.”

“…What, two of them?”

“Yes, try raising them well.”

“Th-thank you!”

Seo I-yun jumped up and bowed her head at a right angle.

What about Terion (A-rank)?

A giant golden lion.

Position is damage tank.

What about Vargas (A-rank)?

A vampire lord.

This one is also a damage tank that deals damage while absorbing the opponent’s health.

Both will have different peak performance depending on control.

“If you have any difficulties while raising them, feel free to ask Hunkyo or me anytime.”

“I-is that really okay?”

Seo I-yun’s eyes went wide.

To the 2nd generation guild members, the guildmaster was almost like a heavenly being.

Honestly, just facing him now made her so nervous she could barely breathe properly.

“Of course. We’re family now, and you might even go to the national team. Since you’ve joined SKY, Seo I-yun, you’re no different from my family.”

This isn’t the joke about ‘family’-like companies that some corporations make.

He truly treats them like family, takes care of them, gives them homes, cars, and bunkers.

Anyway.

The interviews continued in this manner.

He gave Jeong Si-woo a Unicorn (A-rank).

A white horse with a horn.

It’s a healer, but the mechanism is complex, so it seemed right for him to use since he’s excellent at calculations.

Fortunately, Jeong Si-woo was extremely satisfied.

Last.

“Kang Dae-hyeok.”

“Yes!”

A burly, muscular man.

Age 33.

“Dae-hyeok, there’s only one left. A Magma Giant. But strangely, it seems like it would suit you quite well?”

“Is that so?”

Hunkyo’s judgment was that

Kang Dae-hyeok would suit straightforward and rough summoned creatures.

In other words, something like Kang Ji-ho’s berserker.

But the berserker is too crazy, so something like that Magma Giant would be better.

This is also a damage tank summoned creature!

“Whatever you give me, I’m grateful. I’ll trust you and raise it well.”

“Good. Please take care of me from now on.”

I don’t know how much they’ll grow.

But one thing is certain.

‘There are exactly six months left until the league.’

If they can’t make it into the 50-member suicide squad to be selected by then…

The gap between guild members will probably widen even more.

I’ll give them full support.

The Tower?

I already have a plan laid out anyway.

If we just follow that plan, all members will easily clear up to the 50th floor of the Tower.

‘I’m going to send Hunkyo and Pokryong together like last time.’

While we’re at it, let Pokryong absorb some stacks too.

But?

There’s a condition.

Even without Hunggyo and Pokryong, they need to have enough skill to hold their own to some degree before I can trust them with responsibilities.

If not, then I’m sorry but….

I can’t carry them all the way to the 50th Floor.

Anyway.

The guild members will now work hard on their own.

‘As for me.’

Let me quickly get started on Hunggyo’s awakening.
