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?"
Hearing Vernon's words, the skinny boy immediately said, "Yes, preparation, Vernon; you know that when we enter the Magic Academy, we need a lot of money to register. Not to mention that according to what my father said, many witches can only reach apprentice level witches because of the lack of money to buy resources that can strengthen our magic level." "Therefore, now we should go hunting for beasts, and if we're lucky, we might get the core of a beast that can be sold for a lot of money. Look, I brought my father's crossbow to hunt those beasts." Hearing the skinny boy's words, Vernon stopped walking and said, "You guys are crazy; your father doesn't even dare to hunt beasts. Your father only hunts normal animals. Beasts are different, and some beasts can match witches; if we are unlucky, we might even find a very strong beast. An automatic bow is not enough to fight those beasts." "Vernon, you're too timid; you have to have the courage to be a great wizard," another boy with mu
After Vernon stored the snake's body, he searched around for items that could be used to summon. "Young master, this is the item we are looking for," Naomi said. She currently held a small gold-coloured crystal in her hand that seemed to glow. Vernon slowly picked up the crystal and surprisedly said, "This is quite a good item. The gold crystal in the previous Open Universe game was quite a good item for summoning characters. I didn't expect to find an item from the Open Universe on this Osud Continent." After that Vernon spoke again, "All this is because of your help, thank you, Naomi." "What you said, helping the young master, is what I should be doing," Naomi says. Vernon smiled and said, "Then let's leave the cave and return to the village. If I don't return for a long time, the people in the village will be worried." "Yes, young master," Naomi replied, and then she disappeared again. Vernon kept the gold crystal in his inventory and left the cave. It was almost dark when he
"Next," said the white-robed witch guarding the door after shooing away a child crying from failure. "The ten people who have entered have all failed. It seems that the possibility of becoming a witch is very small indeed," Vernon said while sighing in his heart. Already, ten people had entered the room in front to test their elemental talent. But all the children came out crying, which meant they failed the test. There are currently two more children ahead of Vernon. Vernon is still very excited and looking forward to his chance to test for elemental talent. Although many children failed the test, Vernon is currently filled with confidence. Time passed quickly; Vernon was already at the door by this time. A child immediately came out of the door crying, and as usual, the white-robed wizard angrily snapped at the child, chased the child out, and spoke again, "Next." Hearing the words of the white robe witch, Vernon immediately entered the room before him. After entering, Vernon saw
Vernon had already exited the building. On the outside, Vernon could see the fighting man and the coachman who had previously escorted them to the city. The two men were waiting for their arrival outside while sitting and chatting in the carriage. There were also other children in the carriage who had previously taken the element match test. Vernon went to the carriage and sat in the carriage. After Vernon sat down, he immediately waited there quietly. Vernon still had to wait because other children were still doing element match tests. So they had to wait until everything was done, and then they could return to the village. After waiting about 20 minutes, all the children finally did the element match test. But it seems that no one matched the element except Vernon because all these children came out of the building crying. When the fighting man saw that everyone was complete, he said, "Then let's go back. You don't need to feel so sad. Witches are very rare, after all. You can be
The three witches stared at each other. No one dared to interrupt their conversation. After all, they were witches while they were just villagers. So the villagers were silent and looked at the three witches in surprise. Seeing that the other two witches were still silent. The white robe witch immediately said, "Then I will tell the head of the Mofa Zhiwu Academy not to send people to recruit this kid right now. But the Mofa Zhiwu Academy will not stop recruiting this child. In that case, I will leave first." After that, the white-robed witch began to fly away. The white-robed old man looked at Vernon and said, "Kid, stop by the Helles Licht Academy later; we definitely won't let you down." Then, the old man also flew away and left. The female witch also smiled and slightly said goodbye before leaving. The female witch was not only a teacher of the Strioa Eld Academy, but she also acted as an observer by the Magic Academy so that the testing witches did not cheat and tried to recrui
After arriving in the hot air balloon, the three witches went to where the other witches were gathered. Meanwhile, Vernon walked towards the room where the students were gathered. At this time, Vernon went to a table that was the staff of this blimp. Seeing Vernon's arrival, the staff said unconcernedly while handing over a key, "This is the key to your room number 105. You will rest there during this trip." After taking the key, Vernon immediately came to a quite long street; on the right and left were doors, each of which also had its number. Vernon went to the door with the number 105, opened the door with the key, and walked in. There was only a bed in the room. Vernon put the bag containing the items he was carrying, such as clothes, on the mattress. Suddenly, a voice came from the box in the upper corner of this room that seemed similar to the speakers on earth before, "To all students, it is time for lunch. Come to the dining hall immediately, and important matters will be an
A room in a hot air balloon. An old man with white hair was sitting and looking at the forest. The old man wore pure white clothes and held a magic wand made of wood in his right hand. Behind him stood a man in white robes who was testing Vernon's compatibility with the elements; the man was named Gilbert. Gilbert was currently standing behind the old man who was currently seated. Gilbert looked at the seated old man with respect in his eyes. Gilbert greatly respected this old man because this old man was the head of the Helles Licht Academy. The old man had very strong powers and was one of the strongest wizards on the Osud Continent. The air around the old man trembled as the surrounding air felt the pressure of the powerful magic around the old man. "Master, are you sure you can let Vernon take this test?" asked Gilbert nervously for fear of disturbing the old man. "Gilbert, as the head of the Academy, I cannot treat any student special. Everyone must be treated fairly. Although
Vernon was currently walking around the forest and observing the surroundings. After finding a good enough spot, Vernon sat down under a tree and opened the bag given to him in the hot air balloon. Vernon began to pick up the dried meat and eat it. After all, he hadn't eaten lunch before, so now Vernon was very hungry. While chewing the dried meat, Vernon said, "Naomi, are you there?" Vernon is currently not sure if Naomi is coming with him. Previously, Vernon was teleported here by a witch. So Vernon doesn't know if Naomi is coming with him, or maybe she is still in the hot air balloon. If Naomi didn't follow him, Vernon was sure that his life would be in danger. After all, Vernon is currently not a witch. Not even an apprentice witch, how could Vernon face the monsters in this forest? So Vernon had to confirm Naomi's whereabouts now. Suddenly, behind Vernon, who was chewing dry meat, was someone who was bowing and immediately said, "Yes, did the young master call me?" Vernon glan
