《The Summoner》Chapter 11: A Threat
Advertisement
Hey everyone, author here. I would just like to ask you all to please leave some comments. I dont really care about reviews but would like to see comments from you the readers to see what I am doing well and what I need to improve on. If I dont get yall's feedback, I will never know, so please tell me haha.
Also, I have decided on a release method for Asgard and The Summoner. I am going to try to release a chapter of each like one chapter of Asgard then the Summoenr and then Asgard again once a day. I'm currently in training so I dont think I'll be able to do more than that. When I get back, I will attempt to release a chapter for both once a day but until then please bear it.
Once again I would like to thank you all, the readers for reading this series. I will continue to work hard to make the story better and ask for everyone's support.

Ji Hyun
Hi, my name is Lee Ji Hyun, a family with a prestigious history. Our family has fought against mythical beings and creatures for centuries, defending the people against them. When my father first told me about this, I thought it was so cool and wanted to become a strong summoner. I trained and trained the hardest I could from the young age of 6 so that I could protect everyone.
Sadly, however, that did not work out so well. It was found out quite early that I did not have a large amount of mana or great physical abilities. I really was depressed when I heard about it. Think about it, as a young child you get excited and try your hardest toward your goal only to be told that you were too weak and couldn’t. That night I ran into my room and cried my eyes out. While crying, my oppa (older brother in Korean) came in and calmed me down.
Lee Hyun Oppa had always had been regarded as a protégé in our community. Even at the young age of 7, he made a contract with a strong being such as Fenrir. Even though he always got praised and touted by the adults, he never let it get to his head and he always looked after me still. When he was told what our parents said to me, he exploded in anger and berated my parents for making me cry. Afterwards he came and soothed me.
“Ji Hyun ah”
“Eung oppa?”
“Even if people tell you that you are not strong, that you are too weak, never believe it. As long as you try your hardest, you will become strong. Also, I will always be there to protect you so don’t worry kay?”
“Eung!!”
“Also I got a present for you”
I look at Lee Hyun Oppa with a curious face when he said he had a present for me. He just looked at me and smiled before beginning an incantation.
“Oh fair lady the Queen of the Mountains, please appear and smite my foes that try to harm me, Sulli!”
Flames started to appear around oppa, and slowly the outline of a mature lady appeared. When she finally became visible, a beautiful lady was there. She had long white hair and a green eyes. What stood out the most about her was the nine tails behind her.
Sulli, she was the Gumiho (nine tailed fox) that had been the first mythical being that had served our house. She had made a contract with the original summoner from the Lee family and made a promise to always protect our bloodline. Sulli was always given to the child who had the most potential throughout the Lee family, which was Lee Hyun oppa.

“Oh, Lee Hyun~~ you called for me? Whats up?”
“Hey Sulli, I have a big favor to ask you”
“Eung, if possible I will accept. Can’t be perverted though okay~? You’re still too young~~”
“Haaa… as always you are hard to handle. Anyways from now onwards please become Ji Hyun’s summon and protect her please”
“Ehh??!?!?!?! Oppa!!”
“…Even though I want to rebuke you immediately, you always have a reason for your commands. May I hear your reason?”
“Sulli, I know you’re supposed to always go to the strongest child in the Lee family, which is why you became my first summon. Ji Hyun my sister, however, has not developed as much as others yet. She, more than anybody else, wishes to become strong and protect everyone. Just in that belief no one can beat her. I feel as though if she got support from a strong summon like you she could go a long ways. I also feel uneasy seeing that she has no summon to protect her when I’m not there”
“Haa, as always the big sis-con eh? Haha even though there are some stuff I’d like to say to your reasoning, how can I refuse such a overprotective brother? Haha I also think it’ll be interesting to raise someone who is thought to be too weak to become one of the strongest so I will accept. Ji Hyun, please put your hand out in front of you”
While in shock with the situation, I do what she says.
“Oh true Gods, hear me! I swear fealty to the figure before me and to become her strength that will burn through the evil that harms the humans! I will become this person’s shield to protect and also the sword that will slash away all before her. Astral Contract!”
A sudden flash appears above my hand. I feel a burning sensation that flows from my hand to throughout the body for a split second which makes me flinch but then disappears as if it was my imagination. As Sulli was fading, she smiled at me and left with one final word.
“As you are now my owner, I hope you treat me well, feel free to call me anytime~”
After Sulli was gone, I look at Lee Hyun oppa with opened eyes.
“But oppa, Sulli is….”
“You don’t have to worry, I’m strong enough to get more summon you know? Anyways from now on, I will teach you personally, so be prepared”
Tears start welling up in my eyes. Even though oppa is so strong he still cares and takes care of me. Now, he will even take time out his already busy schedule to teach me...
“Eu…Eung oppa!! Thank you!”
After that we had always trained with each other. Every day he would leave an hour of his time to give me training. At first it didn’t show much effect but slowly I grew stronger with my body finally maturing and the constant training. Even though I wasn’t one of the strongest yet, I was slowly getting stronger and was now average, which was a far cry from where I was at first.
Then suddenly, two months ago, Lee Hyun oppa and his friend Hyun Jin oppa disappeared. There was a major uproar within the family. Our family sent search parties out everywhere around the world to look for him, he was too valuable of a member within the family. When I heard the news, I immediately dropped my bags and searched for hours upon hours. I kept on going out every day for a month looking for him, but to no avail. Freaking out the whole time, I finally calmed down then and thought it out. Lee Hyun oppa was one of the top 3 strongest summoners in the world, almost nothing could kill him. If oppa saw how everyone was panicking out the whole time he was missing, especially me, he would scold everyone. He would want me to continue training and becoming stronger.

After thinking that, I went at training with reckless abandoned, bowing to myself that by the time oppa returned, I would definitely have become a lot stronger. I also captured another summon, a unicorn named Arion. I was so proud and excited to show off to my brother so I would get praised.
Then about a week ago, I felt a distortion in the space in front of me while walking home from school and got teleported to a weird world. I was told that I had been summoned by elves that said they needed a hero to help them defeat the demon army that was about to invade their continent. I felt sympathy toward them and agreed. For the next week I trained with the elves and learned the ways of this world. The mana was denser here which made it easier to use magic here. After the week had passed, they told me that they would like to test my powers against a strong opponent called a Draconian. Even though I was scared, I agreed as I too wanted to test my strength to see if I had become strong.
Today was finally the day that I was supposed to fight against the Draconian. I decided to first test how strong it was by summoning Arion, the weaker of my two summons. Even though the Draconian was stronger than Arion, I felt like I could defeat him still when the Draconian suddenly blew away Arion and charged after me. Even though I had grown stronger, I panicked when it charged at me and then blew me away. While I was flying through the air, I berated myself thinking that I hadn’t become stronger at all. When I was about to hit the ground again, I closed my eyes and prepared for the impact from the ground. I did indeed feel an impact, but instead of being hard it was a soft and cozy feeling. Surprised, I open my eyes and see a person who I never expected to see in this world here.
“Yo, Ji Hyun, you okay?”
“Hyun Jin Oppa?!?! Eh why are you here?!?! Where have you been!!! You and Lee Hyun oppa has been missing for the last two months and everyone went crazy looking for you all!! Eh? Wait, if you’re here….”
While suddenly thinking of another possibility, I hear another voice. A voice of the person who had become a fatherly figure and had always encouraged me, helping me accept everything and still gave me strength.
"Oh King of all Kings!! The world has fallen to evil! Break through this darkness with your holy sword!! Once again become the bane of all Dragons and save the people!! ARTHUR PENDRAGON!!"
Lee Hyun
Space in front of me began to distort. An outline of a tall man appeared. When the outline became clear, what stood there was a tall man that had on shiny armor with a crown on his head. On his waist was a sword that had become to be known as the strongest sword in the world. And the person who held it was of course the legendary figure who had united Britain and formed the Knights of the Round Table.
“My liege, what does thee command?”
“That Draconian has dared to harm one of my importants. Dispose of it.”
“I will obey, my liege”
While bowing, King Arthur suddenly started to become a blur. The next instance a large roar was heard where the Draconian was. King Arthur had moved to where it was and had chopped off one of it’s forelegs.
“You lowly beast, you dare to hurt someone that my liege cares for? Let me show why I am called Dragonebane!”
King Arthur thus began the battle. Well…. you couldn’t really call it a battle, it was more like an execution. He proceeded to cut off another leg before stabbing the dragon in it’s heart. You could begin to see the light going out of the Draconian’s eyes when Arthur took the sword out of it’s chest and then beheaded it in one slash. He then became a blur once again before appearing before me.
“My liege, I have completed thee’s task. What would thee like for me to do next?”
“Be on standby, I need to have a quick word with some people over there…”
“I shall obey”
After saying that I slowly start walking over to the booth where everyone was looking at King Arthur then the Draconian and then back at King Arthur with shocked faces. When the King saw me coming over, he shivered while waiting for me to come. Even though the last thing he wanted to do was just wait for me to come, he knew he could never outrun King Arthur so stayed still, feeling a chill up his spine at my figure.
“Your Majesty…”
“Y..Ye…Yes Sir Lee Hyun?”
“I would like to ask you about that female…. Could you please explain…?”
While there was a smile on my face, I’m sure to the King it looked like the Devil was smiling at him. He was shaking and stuttering while he told me.
“Ab..ab…about that Sir Le…Lee Hyun…. We fe…fel..felt that the hero and yu…yu..you would need some assis…assist…assistance defeating the the the Demon Army so w..we…we… thought it would be be be better if we could giv..giv..give you guys an..ano…another companion to hel..hel..help”
“Ah, how thoughtful of you your majesty. And who would have thought!! You somehow summoned my sister to your world!”
The King’s face immediately paled and became hollowed.
“Yo…your…your sister?”
“Precisely, your majesty! And you gave such a great showing where my sister got hurt!!”
“Si..Si…Sir Lee Hyun…..”
“Thank whatever God you believe in, your majesty…. If your daughter wasn’t Princess Dal Rin I wouldn’t let this go with a warning…”
“Wa…wa..warning?”
“If you think you own my sister, stop that thought now. If you try to touch even a hair on my sister, I will burn your whole kingdom to ashes.”
Everyone’s face cramped up…. Even though I was smiling, I was saying completely terrifying words!! If Arthur could kill a Draconian in less than 2 seconds, just how strong was he?! He was even playing with it!! Thinking about that, everyone’s face paled at my threat.
“Anyways, your majesty. If it isn’t too much trouble, would you mind if we retired for the day? I would like to speak with my sister”
“Of..of.. Of course Sir Lee Hyun, it is not trouble at all!”
While I nodded and began to head toward Hyun Jin and Ji Hyun, everyone let out a breath of relief before stiffening again when I turned around and looked at Dal Rin. Even though she was surprised by the sudden events, she wasn’t surprised as she had experienced it before.
“Dal Rin, you coming?”
She looks at me for a second before smiling and answering
“Was wondering when you’d ask”
Before coming to my side and walking along with me toward the center of the arena.

The Edge of Endless
Due to some unforseen and significant life events, this story will be on hiatus for a time. Reborn into a strange but familiar world, Alex makes it his mission to uncover the mysteries of governments, gods, and the arcane realm known only (and inaccurately) as the Unending Depths. Slowly but surely, he grows in ability and meets new and interesting people. tEoE is an epic fantasy LitRPG with a focus on plot, writing, and hopefully original twists on the standard formula of 'MC picks cool class, levels up'. Give it a read if any of the following appeals to you: > 3000-5000 words per chapter, chapters released at least once per week, usually several times. Expect good grammar. > Story focus on illusions, secrets, and traps (along with the usual combat and character stuff). > Progression fantasy, but one where progress is meant to feel earned, moderately paced, and reasonable. Some advantages, but not big, unfair ones. > If a random reader can work out that putting a big rock in a bag of holding, lifting it, and then dropping the rock is free energy, then so could an adventurer who's owned a bag of holding for twenty years. Side characters have brains too. > Blue boxes! Levels! [Classes]! [Skills]! Loot! > No uncomfortable sexist undertones. Ambivalent about including relationships. Definitely no harems. There are a number of arcs planned and this will be ongoing for some time. I am very appreciative of the kind reviews and comments left so far.

Reborn as a DRAGON
My name is Tim, or it was until I died. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God. I didn’t die heroically while saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away... That should have been the end of the road for me, but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimensional travelers and was reincarnated. Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited about the opportunity, if not for my new siblings, who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or for my mother, who seemed to have a thing for throwing me off cliffs. And let’s not forget my murderous father, who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage. Oh, did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?
