I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 005
Player Zone
There are a total of five types of summoning scrolls in Battle of Summoners.
Low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, supreme-grade.
And ultimate.
[F-grade: 94%]
[E-grade: 5%]
[D-grade: 1%]
As I mentioned before, if this is the probability for low-grade summoning scrolls…
[E-grade: 94%]
[D-grade: 5%]
[C-grade: 1%]
This is the probability for ‘mid-grade summoning scrolls’.
Then?
[D-grade: 94%]
[C-grade: 5%]
[B-grade: 1%]
This is the probability for ‘high-grade summoning scrolls’.
As you can see, there’s a pattern.
Every time the summoning scroll tier goes up by one, the appearance grade probability also goes up by one tier!
Then, what about the ‘ultimate summoning scroll’ which is one tier higher than the ‘supreme-grade summoning scroll’?
[B-grade: 94%]
[A-grade: 5%]
[S-grade: 1%]
Naturally, it’s like this.
This shows just how difficult it is to pull an S-grade summoned creature.
It only comes out with a 1% probability when you tear open one ‘ultimate summoning scroll’.
For reference, Baek Jin-woo only managed to get 10 of those scrolls in 10 whole years.
Because they appear with extremely low probability even in dungeons.
‘Let’s take it slow.’
Being too hasty won’t do any good.
I need to prepare step by step to grow properly without missing anything.
‘Anyway, I have Ramba.’
Baek Jin-woo was confident.
If I raise Ramba properly?
Not only the 100th floor of the tower, but I can quickly reclaim the world’s top spot too.
Time frame?
It doesn’t matter.
Ramba is that overpowered.
There’s a reason the AI proceeded with a balance patch.
“Oppa, but.”
Baek A-jin, who was walking on Jamsil Lakeside Bridge over Seokchon Lake, glanced up at her brother.
Quite some time had passed as it was already getting dark.
“What summoned creature did you get?”
“I have one, called Wind Fairy.”
“Wind Fairy? Can I see it once?”
“Why would you need to see it.”
“I’m just curious. We’re not strangers. Can’t I even see my family’s summoned creature? Here.”
Whoooosh!
Baek A-jin waved her hand.
Then, a Shadow Elf appeared with a flash of light.
“This is my main summoned creature. It’s a whole C-grade. While D-grades are so common you could trip over them, from C-grade onwards they’re nobility.”
“Yeah, sure.”
Baek Jin-woo nodded as if unimpressed.
Shadow Elf?
It’s a trash summoned creature I’ve never once taken to a dungeon.
I’ve used many of them as experience materials at the synthesis shop.
However, one thing did make me curious.
“Does that Shadow Elf speak Korean well? Hey, Ms. Elf?”
Ramba spoke Korean like a native from her first appearance.
I wonder how the Shadow Elf is?
I waved and greeted it, but the creature’s reaction was indifferent.
Tsk, how rude.
If you come to the land of Eastern courtesy, you should greet first.
“Oppa, what are you doing?”
Baek A-jin frowned and stared intently at Baek Jin-woo.
Her expression was like looking at a crazy person.
“Huh?”
“What summoned creature talks?”
“Huh?”
Baek Jin-woo blinked.
“Weren’t summoned creatures supposed to talk originally?”
“…Good grief, what kind of nonsense is that. Where in the world are there talking summoned creatures?”
“…!”
What.
Was only Ramba special?
Come to think of it, Fur Gorilla only made sounds like “Grwaaaar!”
‘That’s right.’
Even during Battle of Summoners, there were no talking summoned creatures.
‘Huh.’
Then why is Ramba now?
Is it because her grade is high?
“Anyway, stop playing weird pranks and hurry up and show me yours, oppa.”
“Mine is for later.”
“Ah, why!”
“Just because. Hurry up and guide me.”
Swish.
Baek Jin-woo turned his back and took the lead with quick steps.
“Geez, so selfish.”
Baek A-jin grumbled with a dissatisfied voice as she reverse-summoned the Shadow Elf and followed.
“Ah, wait for meeee!”
The appearance of Jamsil Station they finally arrived at was completely different from what Baek Jin-woo knew.
“Wow. What is all this?”
Brilliant buildings stood among the bustling crowds.
“Amazing, right?”
Grin.
Baek A-jin smiled.
“The company that had to give up Jamsil Tower as the Tower of Trials immediately demolished Jamsil World.”
“…Jamsil World?”
Jamsil World was one of the top-tier amusement parks in the country built at Jamsil Station.
It was like a trademark of Jamsil, but that disappeared?
“Ugh, who would want to ride amusement park rides with that ominous Tower of Trials right in front of them.”
“Wouldn’t that be more thrilling and exciting?”
“Oppa. There’s a difference between thrills and risking your life.”
Anyway.
He understood.
Even at the group level, they would prefer to capture the gathering players rather than running an amusement park.
That’s where the money would be.
“And originally, they couldn’t operate Jamsil World anymore. Synthesis shops and dungeons were built in that location.”
“Ah.”
Baek Jin-woo nodded and entered the entrance of the “Player Zone” across from the Tower of Trials.
“Selling low-grade runes!”
“Low-grade summoning scrolls for sale!”
“Buying C-grade or higher summoned creatures at high prices!”
Bustling noise.
A marketplace had been established there.
‘That place is the trading post.’
It originally existed in “Battle of Summoners” too.
A space where users could freely trade with each other.
Since there was no in-game currency, real money transactions took place back then too…
‘I remember.’
In the early days, the wealthy Baekcheon always hoarded tons of summoning scrolls and runes here.
Later, when the game failed, there weren’t even any users left to sell.
“You can think of this place as having everything. Do you see those pamphlets over there?”
Baek A-jin pointed to the papers placed at the information desk.
“The building locations and everything are explained there, so if you’re curious, you can look at those. By the way, oppa.”
“Hm?”
Baek Jin-woo, who had been looking around like a country youth who came up to Seoul, answered half-heartedly.
“You’re a beginner, oppa. There’s an academy run by the Player Headquarters over there, you know? How about signing up there starting tomorrow?”
“No, it’s fine. Little sister.”
All his curiosity had been satisfied.
He had found a place to settle down.
From now on, he could practically live here while growing stronger.
“Thanks for the tour. Go home first.”
“Huh? You’re staying here?”
“I want to look around by myself.”
“Uh…”
Something had been strange from earlier.
It felt like he was entranced by something?
Baek A-jin was worried about her brother.
Especially since he had only recently awakened.
Still.
If her brother wanted to do something passionately, she had no intention of interfering and stopping him.
“Well, alright. Don’t overdo it. Let me know anytime if you need help.”
“Got it~”
Wave, wave!
Baek Jin-woo waved his hand behind his back and disappeared among the people.
A place with few people around.
– Jin-woo!
“Shh!”
Baek Jin-woo summoned Ramba and immediately covered her mouth.
As he wrapped his whole body with both hands and pressed her mouth firmly with his thumb, Ramba’s eyes widened.
“From now on, don’t speak when I summon you around people.”
– Mmph?
“If you understand, nod your head.”
Nod, nod.
Though she didn’t understand why, Ramba was a summoned creature.
She had no choice but to follow the player’s commands.
‘They said there are no talking summoned creatures yet.’
Then just Ramba having conversations could draw attention.
Since Baek Jin-woo disliked public attention.
For the time being, he planned to only converse with Ramba inside dungeons.
‘First.’
From now on, he had to keep running dungeons…
Since it was his first time, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
His runes weren’t properly equipped, and he only had two summoned creatures.
He needed initial capital…
[Account Details Inquiry]
[Account Holder: Baek Jin-woo]
[Preferential Savings Account]
[Withdrawable Amount: 12,500 won]
“Life really is…”
There’s no gutter worse than this gutter.
Even if he had been in an accident, to think this was his entire fortune.
To get a loan, he had no proper job, income, or assets to use as collateral.
To borrow from loan sharks, the interest would be too wasteful.
To work part-time like before, the time would be too precious.
‘The parent card?’
No way.
A person should have some shame.
If he borrowed money without compensation from his parents who were working three jobs to support the family, that wouldn’t make him human but a beast.
Besides, hadn’t that damn truck already drained them with hospital bills for three years!
He couldn’t burden them any further.
‘It’s okay.’
I can definitely do it starting from scratch.
Right.
This is the beginning of “Battle of Summoners.”
What was one of Baek Jin-woo’s nicknames!
Wasn’t it the great ‘Free-to-Play Ranker’!
He had been like that from the start.
Without anyone’s help or spending money, he maintained the number one ranking position and came to be called One Sky .
‘There’s no reason I can’t do it in reality.’
First.
He would start with the lowest dungeons.
With those rewards, he would continuously summon creatures while prioritizing Ramba’s growth.
Let’s go!
Just as the determined Baek Jin-woo stood up.
Ding!
A mobile app notification arrived.
[500,000 won has been deposited.]
“Huh?”
Buzz!
A text message arrives at the same time.
[Son. I heard from Ajin. She said you’re working hard and trying to do something right after waking up? Knowing your personality, you probably can’t even ask for pocket money… At least use this.]
“…Mom.”
Tears welled up slightly in his eyes.
In the end, she had bestowed sweet, sweet nectar upon her son.
The moment his chest became not just warm, but hot!
Baek Jin-woo made a promise in his heart.
Our family.
‘I’ll definitely make you all live in luxury.’
The dim evening.
Baek Jin-woo didn’t go home.
Originally, even when playing “Battle of Summoners,” he had never gone without pulling all-nighters.
‘I’ll minimize sleep as much as possible.’
The three years others had gotten ahead.
That’s how he would catch up.
‘Don’t act spoiled.’
He needed to set his mindset first.
To become the best, he would have to act accordingly.
Baek Jin-woo spent all his money to purchase 3 ‘Low-Grade Summoning Scrolls’ and 6 ‘Low-Grade Swift Runes.’
‘First, I need to have a team.’
Five summoned creatures per team.
Originally, he was going to go to the synthesis shop and use Fur Gorilla as material for Ramba.
But after using it this time, it fought quite bravely and well, so he planned to use it a bit longer.
– Uwooo…?
Did it sense its master’s feelings?
The gorilla summoned in front made a pitiful expression.
‘Let’s not get attached.’
Using summoned creatures as materials?
In “Battle of Summoners,” it was an extremely common occurrence.
According to the setting, using them as materials didn’t mean they died.
They simply moved somewhere else and waited for a new player to summon them.
“Ramba.”
-…
Outside the dungeon, she would become docile!
She really followed orders well.
“Equip all these swift runes here.”
The stats of all six swift runes were different.
[Rune]
[Grade: Low]
[Set Effect: Swift]
– When 4 equipped: Attack Speed +30%, When 6 equipped: Attack Speed +50%.
[Level: 1]
[Stat Increase]
Strength+1, Intelligence+1, HP+100, Critical Rate+4%
Some were like this.
[Rune]
[Grade: Low]
[Set Effect: Swift]
– When 4 equipped: Attack Speed +30%, When 6 equipped: Attack Speed +50%.
[Level: 1]
[Stat Increase]
Vitality+1, Agility+1, MP+100, Critical Damage+6%
And others were like this.
Summoned creatures could equip a total of 6 of these ‘runes.’
These were like items in any other RPG.
Level 10 was the MAX.
Each time you leveled up, the abilities of 4 predetermined stats would improve!
‘For now, I don’t have the luxury to worry about individual stats.’
Originally, to properly raise Ramba, he should only focus on 2 stats.
‘Intelligence’ and ‘Agility.’
Intelligence increased skill effects, and agility made attack speed even faster.
[‘Wind Fairy'(EX-Grade) equips ‘Low-Grade Swift Rune.’]
…
[‘Wind Fairy'(EX-Grade) equips ‘Low-Grade Swift Rune.’]
Swish, swish!
Ramba equipped all six runes.
With this, her attack speed should have improved somewhat.
‘Be satisfied with this for now.’
Later, he would show her what the ultimate limit of attack speed was.
‘Next is.’
Summoned creatures.
Riiip!
Baek Jin-woo tore open all 3 ‘Low-Grade Summoning Scrolls’ simultaneously.
