‘Hidden class!!!’

Ian’s eyes widened.

He was confused at meeting a new hidden class.

‘I could get a hidden class in this way?’

Ian was surprised, so he didn’t speak. Orkley then talked again.

‘Dragon Tamer’.

That name was so cool.

Ian’s eyes shook.

‘Which is better, Taming Master or Dragon Tamer?’

He wished he could read a guide or something.

‘I became Taming Master quite easily in the beginning… while I got the Dragon Tamer class after all

those hard battles…’

Ian decided to trust his instincts.

“I want to take the path of the Dragon Tamer, Orkley. I will change my class.”

Orkley’s face brightened.

decision.

Orkley stretched out his hand to Ian.

A blue energy came out of his hand and shrouded Ian.

However…

System messages came up.

Ian was confused.

“Uh… uh?”

Orkley’s eyes showed disappointment.

He continued to speak.

that you were walking the path of the Master.

Ian felt strange.

He was sad that he didn’t get the cool Dragon Master class, but he felt good about the fact that the

Taming Master was a higher class.

Ian’s eyes twinkled.

He thought he could get some decent information from the old man.

“Is my Ly special?”

Orkley tilted his head.

“It is.”

Orkley continued to speak.

wouldn’t be possible unless its Tamer raised it in a special way.

Ian was secretly surprised.

The old man knew Ly’s rank and abilities.

‘The legendary Dragon Tamer…’

Ian glanced at Orkley.

‘Maybe I can get something more from him.’

“Orkley, may I ask why you have been waiting for challengers here?”

Orkley looked surprised to hear this.

thing.’

Ian held back his anger.

‘I knew it! I have passed that crazy test, there’s got to be some reward! I almost just left because of

that old man.’

Ian thought he almost got no reward, as if the hidden class Orkley offered wasn’t a reward.

“The important thing?”

Orkley nodded.

Orkley moved, he floated as if he was gliding in the air and approached the iron gate on the other side

of the room.

‘He really is a ghost.’

Ian hurried to follow him. The iron gate started to open with a loud sound.

When they went inside, the gate closed again.

Bam-!

Ian entered a dark cave with some mysterious energy.

The place in which he had fought the Chaos Drake was a room made of stone, but this place was

more like a natural cave.

Orkley slowly went deeper and stood in front of a huge rock. Then he looked back at Ian.

“?”

Ian just stared at him, clearly not understanding. Orkley spoke again.

“A mission?”

‘Is it like a quest?’

Orkely continued to speak.

Ian’s face hardened to hear this.

‘What… what the-!’

Orkley meant Ian couldn’t refuse the quest after reading about it.

It was a big risk.

If he got the quest and failed or gave up, his Reputation would fall according to the quest’s rank.

If it were a low-rank class, like D or lower, giving up once wouldn’t be a big deal, but in cases of high-

rank quests, thousands of Reputations could be lost.

Ian had failed a C rank quest before he reset his character, and he lost about 500 Reputations.

In addition, he could lose his reward depending on the success or failure of the quest, so if he got a

quest of higher rank than he thought, he could gain nothing and only lose his Reputations.

“You won’t tell me… what the mission is in advance, right?”

Ian asked in vain.

“Hmm…”

Ian thought for long. So, Orkley urged him.

reward and the mission?

Ian made up his mind.

‘It wouldn’t be my style to give up at this point and leave.’

Ian nodded, “Yes, I will take them.”

With that, a system message appeared.

Then, the quest’s information window came up.

Ding-

[Trace of the Forgotten Ancient Monster]

Orkley, the legendary Dragon Tamer, had locked himself under the Snowy Mountains of Crupia for

more than a thousand years.

Take the God Dragon’s Soul Stone from him and go to the Mage of Dimensions.

Quest Difficulty Level: B

Quest Limit: Summoner must be acknowledged by Orkley.

Quest Limit: Unable to form a party during the quest.

Time Limit: Doesn’t exist

Reward: Unknown

You cannot refuse this quest.

It was a quest that couldn’t be refused, so the accepting message came up automatically.

Ian was a little relieved when reading the quest.

‘No time limit, that’s good.’

It was a little surprising that he had gotten a B rank quest before reaching Lv. 50, but it had no time

limit. It meant he didn’t even have to do it.

‘But unable to form a party during the quest… does this mean I cannot play in a party before I finish

this quest?’

If it had been other user, that would clearly be a death penalty.

However, Ian had always liked to play solo, so it wasn’t much of a penalty for him.

‘I cannot do a B quest alone now, but…’

He could wait until his level went up and he got stronger.

While Ian was thinking hard like this, Orkley came to him.

He then gave Ian a black stone with some mysterious energy.

‘This is a Soul Stone?’

It looked more like a lump of coal than a ‘Soul Stone’. Ian tilted his head while Orkley spoke.

Ian looked at Orkley.

He had to do the quest now, so he needed to hear Orkley’s story.

Orkley became sentimental, recalling the old days and continued to speak.

together.

Ian was absorbed in his story now.

It was quite interesting.

one of the five dragons that were called God Dragons.

Orkley’s story was very long.

To summarize it, it went like this.

A thousand years ago, in the Prilania Valley, where Dragon Tamers of the North Continent lived, was

invaded by Evil Dragons and countless dragons and tamers were killed.

Orkley’s duty was to protect the War Dragon Karseus, one of the five God Dragons and his

companion, so he escaped from the Prilania Valley and hid on the Snowy Mountains of Crupia.

However, Evil Dragons came after them. In the end, he had no choice but to seal his and Karseus’s

soul under the Mountains, he had waited for a thousand years.

“But were the Evil Dragons so strong, that you and the War Dragon couldn’t stop them?”

Orkley nodded with bitterness.

Karseus.

Ian asked again, “What would happen when I go to the Mage of Dimensions with this Stone?

Ian tilted his head.

“Revive the soul?”

Orkley spoke again.

“?”

line cannot be destroyed like that. I also wanted to maintain the tradition of the Dragon Tamers if I

could…

Ian could understand now.

‘Oh… that was why he asked me to be Dragon Tamer.’

Orkley continued to talk.

the Dragon Tamer and pass down Karseus’s soul to him and, if not, I was going to ask him to bring

Karseus’s soul with the Stone to the Mage of dimensions.

He continued, a little angry.

you.

Ian felt sorry.

“I… see.”

relief right here and the War Dragon would have been your pet.

Ian became curious.

“Can a Dragon Tamer revive Karseus’s soul?”
