Omega Summoner

Chapter 40: But wait, thereʼs more

Adrian now returned to Koronnʼs abode and was given the quest reward of an epic chronomancy skillbook. Adrian looked at the skillbook and did a victory dance and only stopped when Koronn was looking at him funny.

Adrian bid Koronn goodbye because he does not want to be asked again to complete by this eccentric old man. Koronn basically sent him to deathʼs door with the quest. Adrian speculated that he must have triggered a special quest because of his job class and he spoke of Ascalorʼs name.

Adrian was skipping happily because of the skillbook when his alarm rang to inform him that only one minute was left to his daily connection time. Adrian used the skillbook and would just summon the soulbound tomorrow.

[Do you wish to learn the skillbook Rewind? Yes or No]

Adrian then logged out of the game unknown to the events that he stirred up. Marlon then contacted Adrian that the chairman of Atlas Incorporated will have a special announcement about the game so the former told him to watch the live broadcast.

=============================

Following the events of the world message, tons of requests poured in to Atlas Inc. to explain the world message. The game Pandemonium is now very popular that it dwarfed all other VRMMO games that was produced. It is not an exaggeration to say that Pandemonium is now the leading game worldwide with no plausible competition.

This was also the reason that items in game could be very expensive and even reach millions depending on the item specs which is one of the reason that high rankers are very wealthy because they are delving into higher level dungeons and hunting grounds.

In a conference room, many news outlets from all over the world have coalesced and is waiting for the chairman of Atlas Inc., Howard Smith, who is now the most influential person in the world due to the game Pandemonium.

Dozens of camera flashes flooded the area when a man with brown hair and blue eyes that is dressed in a gray suit that was probably custom made by one of the top designers of the world. Behind the man are a group of people with different nationalities. These people are the brains of the game of Pandemonium. The chairman of Atlas Inc.

searched for people all over the world to accomplish his vision and his search bore fruit because Pandemonium was born from that vision. There are dozens of speculations that Chairman Smith is probably not human but an advance android or an alien from outer space because he managed to do the impossible of implementing the sense of taste in the game.

When Chairman Smith stood in the podium, he radiated an aura of dignity that calmed the restlessness of the reporters in the room. Chairman Smith then talked about the situation and explained what the gathered crowd here and all the viewers wanted to know.

” I am aware that all of you are alarmed of the world message that indicated that someone has gained something. For the privacy of the player, we of Atlas Inc. will not reveal the identity of the player in question because we respect every Pandemonium playerʼs privacy.”

When Chairman Smith said that phrase, some reporters frowned but immediately recovered because they are professionals in the news business. Even if they would not be told of the players identity, it does not mean they could not get a big scoop. Also if the player remained anonymous, it would generate more buzz around the player in question.

” Of course, Me and my team will not leave you empty handed. As you have learned a player could generate a world message when they have unlocked something. The player in question manage to acquire a unique class that is only available to a player once.

Just as there are unique monsters that only show up once there are also unique job classes that is only available once but of course that does not mean that the players who acquire those classes are invincible but that they would only have skills available to that job class.”

As soon the chairman was done talking the reporters again made a buzz because they wanted to be picked for a follow-up question. Even the internet viewers were buzzing about the information that was given to them. Some viewers were thrilled that there were more job classes like that and they fantasized that they would be the next one to unlock a unique job class.

There were also some people who likes to pour cold water on the delusions of the dreamers that if a unique class was so easy to unlock then why was it only unlocked when a year has passed and that would be three years in game. Chairman Smith then pointed to a Korean news reporter so that he could answer the reporters question.

Other reporters frowned because they were not chosen first but they did not show their dismay and had a business smile still plastered in their face.

” Chairman Smith, if what you say is true then can you honestly tell us how powerful this job class is and how many other unique classes there are?” the reporter asked.

” For the balance of the game, a unique class can be said as powerful in the early phase of the game but by the third stat awakening or Level 300 the gap between the power of normal job classes and unique job classes will lessen. Still, a job class is only a tool to enhance the power of a player. The overall power of a player is still determined by the tactics and game control of a player.

For example, Hou Yiwei who is the rank one player was a normal class archer when he was dominating other players. Unique job classes are not only available to combat job classes but also the crafting job classes. For we of Atlas believes that there are no useless job class only incompetent people.”

The internet started buzzing again because of what the chairman said. Even the craftsman players started typing the crying emoji and were glad that the Chairman Smith himself acknowledges them. The broadcast lasted for four hours because of the enthusiastic questions of the reporters and some questions of lucky internet viewers.

Due to this, Pandemonium again became more famous because of the big publicity that was given to it.

============================

Adrian and Marlon are also discussing the broadcast details. Adrian even said he was jealous of the player who unlocked the unique class which is funny because he was the one who unlocked it but ignorance is bliss. Marlon even expressed that he would be happy if he could even get a hidden job class and he would be happy.

Adrian smiled wryly at Marlonʼs wish and he told himself that if he finds a job change token or a race change item he would give it to his best friend first and that would be the time he will tell him about his in game characterʼs situation. Adrian bid goodnight to Marlon because he was very tired of the battle he experienced today.

He might have not been physically exhausted but it was mentally taxing to be engage in hours of battle. He guessed that his adrenaline was in full blast because of the enjoyable battle. Adrian tucked himself in bed with a smile on his face and was excited on the adventure he would face tomorrow.

==========================

Chairman Smith was visibly exhausted by the end of the interview and was sitting in his office chair and no longer emitting the dignified aura he had when the interview was happening. Other people do not know much about the chairman but he is very happy that numerous people loved his creation.

He liked viewing the progress of certain people who are giving their heart and soul towards the game he created.

” Deus, tell me the progress of the one who unlocked the unique class” Chairman Smith said and the computer screen in front of him booted and showed Adrianʼs file.

” His full name is Adrian F. Dubois. His father is French while his mother is Filipino. His family owns decent businesses and the most famous is a Filipino Restaurant. He just installed Pandemonium a week ago. He was also in an accident that paralised his legs but he is undergoing recovery.

He is currently living in ASEAN(All south east asian nations formed a super nation to become globally competitive that they rivaled big countries like USA and China) specifically in the Philippines. I did not expect that someone from a small country. I expected that it would have been someone from the United States like that person that we are currently observing. Deus please add Adrian F.

Dubois as a person of interest.”

”Yes, father” the mechanical voice said.
