I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 007

Changed Reality

Inside the cafe.

A gloomy-looking bearded man was sitting there.

Slurp!

While drinking coffee and looking at the player registration waiting list, he may look like a beggar but he’s quite a well-known summoner in South Korea.

His name is Park Chang-seok.

A council member affiliated with headquarters, he has as many as three C-grade summoned creatures that he’s raised for over 2 years.

“Tsk tsk.”

He clicked his tongue.

“Hmm… Pick 50 people from this list? Just that?”

He’s worked at headquarters for quite a while, but he didn’t like the way his superiors operated.

‘What kind of summoning powerhouse are they going to become by picking 50 per month.’

South Korea is currently at the bottom of the league rankings.

It’s because there aren’t any suitable talents…

‘They need to recruit many players to discover talents or not.’

Gulp!

He frowned after downing his iced americano in one shot just 10 seconds after ordering it.

Basically, summoning powerhouse countries adopt a free competition system.

They don’t bother trying to control the number of players.

A system where they let everyone challenge first, and only the strong survive among them.

Park Chang-seok thought South Korea should do the same.

‘Anyway, those old farts in the back room. They should all die. They don’t know shit about the field.’

Just as he, who was also a current headquarters examiner, was about to shake his head.

Bang!

The cafe door was destroyed.

“Wh-what!”

“Kyaaaah!”

The people inside were startled and screamed.

Weeeeeng!

The building’s internal alarm blared loudly.

‘What is it?’

When Park Chang-seok quickly turned his head, a giant summoned creature was standing by the broken door.

Because of that thing looking around with fierce blue eyes, the citizens inside couldn’t even run away and were just trembling.

‘That’s…’

It was a summoned creature he knew well.

C-grade, Blood Orc.

“Ha, those crazy bastards.”

Park Chang-seok stood up with a sigh.

One of the reasons South Korea is evaluated as a summoned creature backward country is because of those guys.

Summoner gangs.

Organized crime groups that used to be in the shadows causing trouble like this since they’re no longer threatened by guns and knives.

“Hey, Park Chang-seok. So you were here?”

Step, step.

A man approaching with a relaxed expression.

That thug is the owner of the orc.

“Bastard. Did you think you could live peacefully playing council member at headquarters after killing all my brothers? Huh?”

Behind the orc were four miscellaneous summoned creatures supporting it.

That’s his team.

“What the hell are you doing.”

Murderous intent filled the eyes of Park Chang-seok as he stood up.

At the same time.

Creak!

Tree branches growing from the floor.

C-grade, Woodman and.

Whoosh!

C-grade, Flame Turtle.

And a C-grade Flame Butterfly gently flying up appeared.

These were examiner Park Chang-seok’s representative summoned creatures.

Behind them, two more D-grade summoned creatures were summoned.

This is Park Chang-seok’s team!

As the two players looked at each other with blazing eyes.

“Gulp.”

“…It’s a gang and headquarters.”

“Those two are dying to devour each other these days.”

“Damn, why here of all places.”

The cafe atmosphere rapidly cooled.

Gang.

The reason a mere thug can act so boldly is simple.

Because of the protective barrier.

If you just keep your summoned creatures out?

You’d survive even if a nuke dropped here.

Since they can’t be controlled by force, these criminals are causing chaos while ignoring existing laws and order!

South Korea was truly in a war against crime.

‘What the hell is this?’

Baek Jin-woo was also startled.

Something unimaginable inside Battle of Summoners was happening in reality.

No, damn it.

This isn’t some tavern in a martial arts novel.

Starting a fight like street thugs in downtown Seoul?

Has the world really gone crazy?

‘But still.’

Blood Orc, Woodman, Flame Turtle, Flame Butterfly…

They were all familiar summoned creatures.

Summoned creatures he had researched in various ways trying to use them somehow, but gave up and used as materials whenever they appeared because there was no answer.

But they seem to work pretty well here?

“Th-then what happens to us. Sob.”

Someone whispered while crying in the corner.

It’s a girl who appears to be a cafe waitress.

Someone else kindly answered that question.

“What do you mean what happens. We have to pray the headquarters player wins.”

“Huh?”

“Those gang bastards. Don’t you know they think of ordinary people’s lives like flies? Still, that guy looks like Park Chang-seok so let’s have hope. His nickname is Yaksha.”

Yaksha.

A demon from Indian mythology, a divine general who protects illegal acts.

A nickname given for massacring countless gang members.

For reference, in South Korea, anyone can execute gang-registered members on the spot.

You won’t be charged with a crime for killing them.

“This is an emergency! Everyone summon your own summoned creatures according to the manual! Put up protective barriers!”

Park Chang-seok shouted while looking at the citizens.

Baek Jin-woo immediately summoned Ramba.

[‘Wind Fairy'(EX-grade) is being summoned!]

– …!

The fairy appeared cheerfully, about to make a fuss, but seeing many people around, she quickly covered her mouth with both hands.

Anyway.

Thanks to Ramba, a protective barrier was formed.

The thug sneered at the citizens hurriedly summoning their creatures.

“Kekeke, quite the righteous hero, aren’t you?”

“….”

“What, afraid I might kill everyone here?”

“That won’t happen. I’ll kill you before that.”

“Oh really? Let’s see you try!”

Kwagagaga!

The two Players clashed.

Clang! Crash!

5 versus 5.

In the battle of five monsters each, lights collapsed and marble fragments flew.

“Kyaaaah!”

“P-please save us!”

“Huhuhuuk!”

The terrified citizens cowered and trembled, but thanks to the barrier, no one was hurt.

Baek Jin-woo also watched the situation from a corner.

One thing was certain.

‘Good thing I hid being Jinugod.’

If there were many such terrible terrorists in reality, it was better to live quietly.

‘For now.’

Should I assess their strength?

Just looking at the summoned creatures, Headquarters had the advantage.

Definitely.

The thug had one C-grade, but Park Chang-seok had three C-grades.

Kwagagaga!

But looking at the battle flow, Park Chang-seok was clearly being pushed back.

‘Why use skills at that timing?’

Baek Jin-woo couldn’t understand.

The way to fight automatically formed in his mind….

That man Park Chang-seok didn’t seem to have that.

This was unavoidable.

Compared to Baek Jin-woo, who had countless repetitive learning through games and accumulated vast experience….

Park Chang-seok, who had only spent 3 years in reality, inevitably lacked both insight and sense.

‘That’s…. supposed to be a Yaksha?’

He seemed to be someone with considerable authority at Headquarters.

No matter how you looked at it, his level was too low.

‘Something.’

It was a scene that seemed to explain why South Korea couldn’t escape last place.

– ….

Ramba beside him also covered her eyes with an expression of disbelief.

A gesture indicating she had witnessed an unwatchable battle.

“Kahahaha! Where’s Headquarters’ Yaksha? Is that all?”

The excited thug pressed his attack.

People stirred uneasily.

“Wh-what do we do?”

“Park Chang-seok is losing!”

“This can’t be. That Park Chang-seok is losing?”

“The SOS? Did you send it?”

“Support from Headquarters seems to be coming, but there’s no time! If Park Chang-seok gets taken down like this…! We’ll all die together!”

Distrust toward the gang was rampant.

‘This is bad.’

What should I do?

Baek Jin-woo pondered.

Help Park Chang-seok?

Under what pretext?

No, before that.

Wouldn’t helping just cause headaches later?

Hadn’t he decided just a moment ago?

To live quietly like a dead mouse until he built up his strength.

Kwagagagaga!

The Woodman’s branches were torn away by the Blood Orc’s axe.

– Kieeeek!

The tree monster writhed its roots and screamed in pain.

At this rate, that thug would win soon.

What to do about this.

Before living quietly.

Shouldn’t he survive the immediate situation first?

“Excuse me, mister.”

Finally, having made his decision, Baek Jin-woo stood up and approached Park Chang-seok.

It was a moment so tense his whole body bristled, but if he didn’t step forward now, they could all die.

Park Chang-seok stretched out his right hand to stop him.

“It’s dangerous. Please wait in that corner!”

“No, that’s not it.”

“You’re interfering with the battle! Trust me and wait! Support will arrive soon!”

Oh my.

This frustrating old man.

His resolute gaze might have been intimidating, but Baek Jin-woo didn’t give up.

“That’s not it, the Flame Turtle’s skill timing is a bit strange.”

“…?”

“The buffers behind that Blood Orc are casting ‘Fire Resistance’, so what’s the point of using skills then…?”

That’s why you’re losing to one C-grade with three C-grades.

He held back those words.

That mister was too scary-looking.

To deliver such a cutting blow.

‘What does that mean?’

Park Chang-seok felt like he’d been hit in the back of the head.

‘Fire Resistance?’

Had they prepared such a skill?

He knew that thug’s summoned creature composition had changed, but he didn’t know what skills they had.

Naturally.

There were tens of thousands of types of summoned creatures in this world.

Knowing every single skill of those creatures?

That was impossible.

‘But.’

That made sense.

That Blood Orc bastard.

It was originally crimson so it wasn’t very noticeable, but every time the buffer in the back used some skill, it would turn even redder.

‘So that was flame resistance.’

Moreover.

After that young man gave his advice, the thug’s expression had definitely hardened.

His previous leisurely attitude disappeared and you could see his will to finish this quickly.

‘Should I trust him once?’

There was no other method anyway.

Park Chang-seok waited for the red aura around the Blood Orc to fade.

When time passed and the buff wore off.

“Flame Turtle!”

Whoooosh!

The bipedal turtle opened its mouth wide and spewed out flames.

– Gr, grrrrrr!

The orc that had been charging without a care until now backed away from the searing pain.

Crazy!

It’s working!

Park Chang-seok moistened his dry lips with the tip of his tongue.

‘It was real?’

Glance.

When he looked back, the young man was nodding and stepping back.

‘What the.’

He didn’t know who it was, but now that he knew the method, finishing this was just a matter of time.

“You little shit, you were being clever.”

As Park Chang-seok growled.

“This fucking vermin bastard!”

The thug was furious to the top of his head and glared at Baek Jin-woo, but there was nothing he could do.

Whoooosh!

The Flame Butterfly and Flame Turtle formed a skill combo, and the orc was busy running away.

What if the buffer cast ‘Flame Resistance’ again?

Then he simply wouldn’t engage the orc.

Instead.

Crack, crackle!

The Woodman went after the buffers in the back.

– Kreek?

Then the Blood Orc had nothing it could do.

The only reason a C-rank could face three opponents alone was thanks to those four buffers.

If those buffers were taken down, the Blood Orc had no future, so it had no choice but to defend them.

And.

When the duration of ‘Flame Resistance’ ended again?

Whoooosh!

He timed it perfectly to shoot skills at the Blood Orc.

– Kweeeeeek!

Finally, the Blood Orc made pig-slaughtering sounds as it burned up.

With the C-rank orc reverse-summoned, cleaning up the remaining buffers was just a matter of time.

“W-wait a minute.”

The thug with all his summoned creatures reverse-summoned and his barrier gone.

He panicked and stepped backward.

“I’ll surrender! Turn me over to the police!”

What was the point of surrendering now?

Park Chang-seok’s nickname was Yaksha.

That name wasn’t given for nothing.

“Shut up. You get summary execution.”

Crack!

The Woodman’s wooden branches grew rapidly and began wrapping around the thug’s entire body.

“W-wait! Aaaaah! Just wait!”

And soon.

Splurt!

For civilian protection, he handled it without making it gruesome.

The thug’s corpse?

It would grow well as nutrients for the Woodman.

“Waaaah!”

“Great! Park Chang-seok! That’s refreshing!”

“We won. Hehehe! We won! Sob!”

Watching that scene, people cheered with joy rather than feeling nauseous.

‘Huh.’

Baek Jin-woo clicked his tongue watching that sight.

Even as his stomach churned, he felt something clearly.

This world.

‘It’s completely different from the world I knew.’

To praise murder even if the target was a criminal…

Perhaps.

He thought that with his original mindset, he might not be able to survive in this world.

And to survive in a place like this?

‘Don’t I need to change as well?’

It was then that Park Chang-seok approached Baek Jin-woo, who was making a bitter expression.
