Omega Summoner

Chapter 565: Fateful Encounters

(This chapter is the POV of the character.)

I am a casual player with the hobby of being more of an explorer which is why it is my subclass. With all the hours that I played, you could say that I have seen things that would be incredibly unbelievable. I might not like bragging, but I have been to places that would absolutely kill anybody.

I have even been deemed as the Explorer King. Although, some people hate me now because I was part of the expedition that released the First Horseman of the Apocalypse. How would I know that would happen when all I did was follow the map faithfully?

Anyways…due to that blunder, my popularity plummeted, and I have been almost forgotten. Everyone is now more excited about new races and such like that. I already know other races like Nagas or Gorgons. I even know some infamous races like Arachne.

The only problem with that is me being not strong enough in their eyes to actually become one of them. The only thing that I got from them is clues about the real history of the world since some are long lived. I swear in my name that I will uncover all the players that have different races.

I bet my popularity will skyrocket once more if I release the footages of me encountering players that have different races. The only problem for me is being sued because I am using their identities without permission. It is difficult to get permission from them because they are usually secretive because of the persecution from the ʼhumanʼ race.

Once on my adventure, I saw a player that looked like a priest that transformed from an elf to a humanoid tree looking individual. I did not talk with him because he was surrounded by strong looking elf NPCs. I backed down not because they shot me with an arrow that landed exactly at my feet.

The next unique individual that I encountered is actually the famous undead prince. Thankfully, he was a nice person, but his undead guards were not as friendly. They do go soft when it comes to their prince but the chilling aura that they released made you want to run away.

I was lucky enough to actually be in a mission with him, but I only acted as a guide due to me having good relations with a dark elf. I am an archer, but I am not that proficient since I liked exploring more. I leveled up great due to him and even received a cursed bow as a reward from the dark elf.

The bow that I received seemed to be some sort of ego weapon since it tries to talk to me. The only downside is that all of its words are sometimes incoherent babble and the words that I can properly hear seems to be threats. I still use it since it is a bound item and has great damage.

The next unique player that I encountered is when I went to the east to find an evil warding charm to use for my cursed bow. The babbling of the cursed ego has been annoying, and I want it to stop speaking every time since I hear it in my head.

She is extremely fierce and the student of the Ryujin Goddess that even I do not know the name of. The fact that she could manipulate four elements perfectly would put elemental mages to shame. No wonder the Ryujin Goddess took a liking to her because she has the talent and a beauty if I do say so myself.

I did not introduce myself because I was scared of her powerful punches, but she is heavily guarded. The humans of the eastern continent even bow down to her when she passes by. I might get resentment if I do not do the same as them. I guess this is how normies feel when they see videos of pro players.

I want to be a dragon too, but the Ryujin do not like me even though I have great communication skills. They say that they do not like wielders of cursed objects to become a Ryujin because it is taboo. I mean transforming into a cursed evil dragon is cool too but sadly it is not destined to be me.

When I received the evil warding charm, I went to a rather faraway field in order to try it. I went to a location called the Windy Plains that is said to be home to a Spirit King of the Wind, but I do not believe that. I have yet to see a real spirit even on the central continent.

There is an area in the central continent called the Spirit Falls that is said to be home to a Spirit King of Water. Nobody managed to even get the blessing, but the proficiency of water attribute spells does become faster when practicing there.

I do not know if it was the effect of the evil warding charm or my cursed bow, but I somehow ended inside an invisible barrier. Inside that barrier, I saw two unique individuals that could be described as father and daughter since their age gap is large. If they were not, then I would have reported the old man. He has the guardian crest floating above him which tells me that they are related.

The old man looked like a cool samurai while the little girl looked like a girl that from Europe since she has a red dress that looked European. The old man swung his katana and it released blasts of wind and even redirected the already strong wind.

He created something dangerous like a tornado that almost blew me away, but I firmly planted my feet on the ground. The next thing I knew is that a giant man with half of its body being a tornado showed up. I sneakily walked away since I felt that I might get caught up in the fight.

I did not walk away because I was scared of dying. I walked away because I do not want to get targeted if they fail to kill that giant monster. That old manʼs figure looked like it was vanishing from time to time while the girl seemed like she was on fire.

Maybe it is just my exhaustion getting the better of me. I must be seeing things. I guess I should plan a trip that is more relaxing and just promoting tourist spots in player-controlled kingdom. I should become a tour guide in order to raise my fame!
