I know, except for samion city. Almost the entire world strongly hates the existence of summoners. Because most of the summoners in the world are plagued and fallen. Specially the dungeon summoners. Summoner job is a risky job. If ever one becomes fallen there's no going back. Whenever new summoners arrive in the world. Akin to there first summon manifested their darkest self. And it will started to corrupts you as you started to get used to your power. I am still a tamer so my dark self isn't manifested yet but sooner as I become a summoner like master. My darkness will whispers into me.
"Thank you for your advice mister Barrick but I'm a tamer see" I showed him my job crest on the left hand.
"I see, but aren't you aspired to be a summoner like your mentor?" mister Barrick questioned, raising his brows.
"yes but I won't turn into a fa-" before I could even continue. Mister Barrick interrupted me.
"no buts. I know tamer is still an acceptable rare job class but still I advice you not to choose summoner as your next path young lad, or else you'll go against the world and your fellow summoners" he advice. He seems practically serious.
We just met and it feels like he knows me for a long time. But I declined his advice, there's no reason for me to shy away from my fate and my path and I'm long been prepared to it.
"I know but it's not a reason for me to back down. I just felt like if I walk down this path without turning into a fallen, I might possibly change the people's views of summoners and I might be able to piece out every mysteries and confusion I had in this world" I said. My voice filled with determination whilst my eyes filled with courageous passion.
"i like you already kid. Quite brave of you in choosing that well worth a shot at least anyway are you seeking something?" he asked.
"yes, do you have any dimensional crystal?" I replied. I really can't keep up with this old man's energy.
"unfortunately kid we don't sell one, such ones are a rarity in this ages, why do you need such a thing? Are you trying to create a portal key or or something?" he wondered aloud, his tone is mixed with intrigue and skepticism. I was about to feel disheartened but it turned to me wondering how'd he knows what I'm going to do with dimensional stone instead.
"yeah but how do you know i was making one?" I asked curiously.
"I'm an artificer kid I make those things, I do have some dungeon fragments I bought from the last black market auction. How about this kid, give me 5 gold and I'll give you the dungeon core's fragment, craft you the portal key, you must've have a load of crystal if your going to do this, also as service lemme fix your uniform to be even more inclined to you. Do we have a deal?" he offered me a hand. Intrigued by his offers despite the exorbitant amount, roughly 500 thousand vlaris. it might worth my money. I accepted his offer. Also I have more than enough money.
"I would be glad to mister barrick" I replied. Gladdened that there's still hope for me to reopened that broken portal.
If you asked me what's an artificer. It's an advanced job for a craftsman, that evolves from blacksmith and master craftsman. Artificer are people that works with artifacts or ability graded items. They usually just create or rewrite an ability to a refined accessory, weapons, or armors. It lead me to one, imminent conclusion. How the hell did mister Barrick managed to get so many magic crystal to work onto those necklaces with good abilities. Let's just keep it to ourselves, mister Barrick has his secrets too.
Mister Barrick then calls onto someone. "Ruby can you bring me the Miscellaneous Box 2 over the crafting table in there!" he shouted loudly. And then someone replied, I could even hears it faintly.
"got it coming!" she replied.
"who was that mister Barrick? Is she your employee here also?" I asked.
"she's my lovely daughter, lad also she's taken after me, a great craftsman" he proudly hit his chest like it's a drum and started guffawing.
Does that mean she also looks like you? Is she muscular too? Does she also have a big build? I think my imagination is getting wilder than when I actually just see how she appears to be... Normal but she's definitely strong despite the heavy crate she's carrying.
She's really nothing like what I've imagined. She has a crimson hair, and a dazzlingly red eyes. Made me wondered how she hit a jackpot in gene pool lottery.
She came out of the right entrance of the building and past by me carrying the crate.
"here dad, do you need anything more dad?" she asked.
"no need sweetheart you can continue your work" mister Barrick replied, started to look something into the crate.
"well then I'll take my leave" she replied.
As she went her way, she wave at me with a friendly smile and left the scene. She was really stunning specially the smile. I then notice mister Barrick pick a peculiar tool. He then turn on me and asked.
"hey kid lend me over that uniform I'll do a good fixing on it" he said.
"give me a minute, I'll just unequipped this" I replied. I then started to undress the trauze formal wear showing my half naked muscular body and hand it over to mister Barrick.
"not bad kid, you'd do a serious workout despite being a tamer quite a hard worker aren't we?" he smirked. He then started to work onto it while his hands one motion with his tools onto the counter cracking at the uniform. I watched in awe as he showed his process in front of me. I couldn't help but gaped and mesmerize the patterns of his vanishing hands even my eyes can't keep up.
Took him half an hour to finished up and he was dead serious the whole time.
"here you go kid, it's even better now" he said as he break a sweat, wiping it with a towel. Mister Barrick handed it back to me. It's appearance seems to be more polished. It's dazzling with nobility aura.
I look into it and thought of appraising it. Appraisal function triggered.
