Chapter 3

Tonight was very quiet; Vernon was still sitting on his bed and thinking for a while. Then Vernon began to say, "Then, system, start summoning characters."

"Yes, Mr Vernon. Who would you like to call?"

Vernon immediately smiled and said, "Of course, my oldest friend, Naomi, the assassin."

"Request confirmed, initiate summoning... Naomi accepts your call. Congratulations to Mr Vernon for successfully summoning the dark elf, Naomi."

Naomi is a character that Vernon first created. But because he made Naomi at the beginning of the game, the items used to make Naomi were not good. Therefore, after playing for a long time, Naomi's strength can no longer keep up with Vernon's strength. However, Vernon continues to provide strengthening abilities and skills to Naomi. After all, this is the first character with him in the Open Universe game, so Vernon is very clear in remembering it.

Vernon does not give the characters he creates bad traits such as the trait of betrayal. Especially Naomi, who, when Vernon created her at the beginning, Vernon gave her the characteristic of absolute loyalty so that Vernon was not afraid that Naomi would betray her in this world. It was also for that reason that Vernon decided to summon Naomi first.

"A reminder to Mr Vernon! The characters you summon in this world can also grow stronger by training, or you can give them some unique items so that they can grow stronger. Mr Vernon can also increase their strength by performing tasks from the system, and the system will reward Mr Vernon."

"The system has adjusted the level of the summoned creature to the level of this world; that is, it uses the same level as the witch because Naomi is an assassin; the levels are apprentice assassin, junior assassin, senior assassin, expert assassin, legendary assassin, mythical assassin, world assassin, semi-god assassin, and god assassin stage. Each stage is also divided into nine levels."

"As I've already told you, the system's tiers are the same as the tiers of witches in this world. So a 7th-level junior assassin can fight or kill a 7th-level junior witch. A 9th-level assassin god can also fight and kill a 9th-level witch god. The system chose witches as a comparison because witches are the strongest occupation in this world. The ranking also applies to all occupations other than assassins, such as fighters, archers and others."

"Mr Vernon has summoned Naomi, dark elf, 5th level senior assassin."

Suddenly, a magic circle appeared in the room where Vernon was, which then shone brightly. After a while, in front of Vernon stood a female dark elf. She had a beautiful face and long silver hair. She wore a black mask, and at her waist were two daggers that emitted a cold light.

Naomi opened her eyes slowly and saw Vernon in front of her. Naomi shed tears and immediately knelt before Vernon, saying with great joy, "Sir, I'm really happy to see you again after ten years."

Vernon was immediately surprised; after all, this was the first time Vernon had seen the character he summoned in person. Previously, Vernon had only seen the character on the computer, which was very different from seeing it in person.

"Naomi, in this life, will always be with my master and give my life," Naomi said, kneeling in front of Vernon.

Vernon immediately panicked and hurriedly helped Naomi stand up, saying, "Naomi, there's no need to overdo it like that. Let's stand up first."

"Yes, sir," Naomi said, standing up and wiping away her tears.

"Naomi, do you want to follow me again to fight in this world?" said Vernon.

"Master, Naomi will follow you anywhere, even if it means paying with my life," Naomi said with determined eyes.

"Alright, then, I'm counting on you. Then just call me Vernon; calling me sir is a bit strange," Vernon said.

"How is that possible? I wouldn't be that bold," Naomi said, shaking her head disapprovingly.

"Then just call me, young master; I'm ten years old here, after all," said Vernon.

"Well then, young... master," Naomi said strangely. It seemed that she was not used to calling Vernon like that.

"Naomi, if I'm not mistaken, you can disappear, right?" said Vernon.

"Yes, sir, I can disappear, and according to the information I got from the system voice, the system gave me basic information about this world before leaving for this world. It seems that if I use the ability to disappear, even a 9th-level senior witch cannot discover my existence even if they use detection magic," Naomi said.

"Alright then, I'll rely on you to look after me by hiding. But, Naomi, remember this well: you can only help me if it is life-threatening," Vernon said.

"Why does it have to be like that? Shouldn't I help the young master if someone wants to harm you?" Naomi said.

Vernon shook his head and said, "Naomi, I won't improve if I only rely on your strength to solve problems. So you don't need always to act unless it threatens my life, do you understand?"

"Very well, Naomi will follow the young master's words," Naomi said reluctantly.

"Alright, you can rest anywhere now that it's late at night. Then don't forget to train," Vernon said.

"Of course, the young master should also rest," Naomi said as she lost her presence.

Seeing this, Vernon began to walk to his bed and was about to sleep. But before sleeping, Vernon still said, "Naomi, don't forget to rest. Even though you care for me, you must rest occasionally."

"Take it easy, young master," came Naomi's voice, but her whereabouts were still invisible at this moment.

Looking at the seemingly empty room, Vernon could only smile bitterly and start to sleep.

***

Vernon's days passed as usual, whether going to the fields to help his father work or reading a book. The day for the element match test was fast approaching.

Three days before the test time.

"Vernon, let's play," said a little girl who was also ten years old this year. She is Vernon's friend from childhood.

Behind her were two boys who were also ten years old. Vernon and the three of them were friends of the same age in the village and would be doing the elemental match test in three days.

"I'm currently busy reading a book," Vernon immediately refused.

"Come on, Vernon, you'll get bored if you keep reading books. It's good to play once in a while," the girl said, pulling Vernon's hand to go with them.

"Alright, no need to drag me along. I'll come along," Vernon said.

"Okay then," the girl said, letting go of Vernon's hand.

"Where are we going?" asked Vernon.

"We're going to the forest," said the girl.

"Isn't the forest dangerous, and there are wild animals?" said Vernon.

"Don't be such a coward, Vernon," said a thin man who was one of Vernon's age in the village.

The boy said again, "You know there will be a witch match test soon, and I will also become a witch. Therefore, we must make preparations for the test."

A confused Vernon immediately asked, "Preparation?"
