1. Entrance Ceremony

When I woke up in the morning, the world had changed.

No metaphors or jokes, literally.

“What is this… … .”

I was quietly looking at the attendance check window that appeared in front of me, and suddenly my head felt like it was going to break.

“Ugh-.”

A wave of information rushes into your head.

Ian Clark, 17, the eldest son of Baron Clark, a freshman at Canopus Academy, today is the entrance ceremony… … .

He complained of dizziness and nausea at the flood of information, and headed to the bathroom as his instinct led him.

As I vomited while leaning against the sink, I carefully looked up at the mirror.

“… … Who is this?”

In the mirror, a handsome gray-haired man stood with a sullen expression.

* * *

There is a game called [Project Luna]. A mang game that does its best to steal user money.

Ian Clarke was an extra in the game.

‘I don’t remember… … .’

Hell, if it had been a game that had depth enough to remember even one extra, it wouldn’t have been called Mangem.

I’m suffering from an incurable disease, so I’m going to die of regret today and tomorrow. Even possessing a mang game like this.

I even wondered if I was crazy because of an illness. But this energetic body and lively reality made me no longer suspect that I was crazy.

And above all… … .

[Main Quest occurs!]

-Save the world.

This square hologram window is floating in front of you. This hologram, which seemed too complicated to be realized by my brain, dispelled that doubt.

Looking at the quest window, I burst into laughter.

“Why am I saving you? I was going to die anyway… … .”

He spit out a self-sacrificing joke and got up. He was going to die anyway, so he had no intention of saving the world.

I wish I had a young and healthy body. It was beneficial to use this well and enjoy the rest of the journey well.

Tiling Tiling!

─Save the world!

This time the exclamation mark increased. I continued to swing my arms to clear the glitter, and the details appeared.

Reward: A healthy body.

death on failure.

“… … Ah, will you take control with my life now?”

My self-esteem was so bad. nothing can control me I can’t buy my soul.

* * *

It was worth my life to say. To be precise, a healthy body was so coveted.

I quickly changed my clothes and opened the door. A huge arrow was floating in my sight.

[Participation in the entrance ceremony (NEW!)]

‘If it’s an entrance ceremony… … Is it a game prologue?’

As you move, think of the story of the game. As a mobile game that sells illustrations, the story was very poor.

Somehow, for some reason, the Demon King is resurrected and threatens mankind.

The protagonist enters the academy that trains the summoner and eventually defeats the demon king. It was such a boring story.

‘It’s a cliche story… … So it’s better to sell the gacha.’

With that in mind, I followed the arrow and the auditorium appeared. I opened the auditorium door and went inside.

There were already many other students in the auditorium besides me. The fact that his hair was colorful was really like the world in the game.

After spending some time looking at the different hair colors that made me nauseous, the lights in the auditorium went out after a while.

After a while, the light in the church at the front of the auditorium lit up, and a woman appeared.

“—Everyone pays attention.”

All the screaming children shut their mouths and looked at the woman. She nodded as if she liked our behavior, and began to introduce me.

“I am the principal of the academy. This is Catherine.”

A woman too young to be the principal, surprised by the fact that she is the principal, causes a commotion. However, this world is a world of summoning firstism, and the fact that a young woman became the principal meant that she was a summoner with a powerful summons.

“quietly.”

she raises her hand The pattern on the back of her hand lit up, and then the space was torn apart.

thud!

A huge hand protrudes out of the torn space. The auditorium was filled with just one giant arm.

A gigantic summoned beast that seems to kill all kinds of monsters by simply squeezing it down with its weight. The students who saw him start to tremble little by little.

She sent my summons back as if she didn’t need to show any more.

“I think this is my introduction. If you have any more questions, please come and visit us in person after the entrance ceremony.”

Having said that, she dug her ears and began to read the script she had brought with her, as if this pretentiousness was bothering her.

After disseminating the words and advice that are often said by the principal, and some points to be cautious of as a cadet of the academy, it was the last order of the entrance ceremony.

“From now on, we will take the oath of admission.”

The oath of admission, one of the events that users who encountered this game for the first time praised ‘the picture is beautiful’. The reason why users who were angry at the ruined balance and induction of ingenuity play this game.

A turquoise, red-haired girl joins the church. Her fluttering hair was red as if blood had been squeezed out.

Upon reaching the school table, she was handed a paper from the principal and began taking the oath.

“Oath.”

I.

As a cadet of Canopus Academy.

upholding dignity and honor.

I swear to dedicate this body for the sake of mankind.

“Cadet representative, Stella Eritz.”

A scene like a picture, the entrance ceremony was finished as soon as the oath ceremony was over.

However, just because the entrance ceremony was over did not mean that all the events were over.

“Cadets, please follow us.”

The most important event in the world begins. I followed the teacher, slightly nervous.

Following the direction of the teachers, the cadets head to the temple as a group. The temple was a very familiar space for me.

‘How much did you fly here?’

The most important place in the mobile game and in this world, it was the Temple of Summoning.

One of the few places in the world where you can summon summons. Because of this temple, the Academy was the cradle of the continent and the most important point of the empire.

‘… … 3 stars?’

Unless Lysemara was impossible, he had to summon the most outstanding summons at once. And it wasn’t something I could control.

Because gacha is luck.

The teacher, who took the students to the temple, checked the children on the list. After confirming that everyone followed well, he handed over the list to the priest in the temple.

The priest, who had been handed over the list, bowed lightly and opened his mouth.

“We will hold the summoning ceremony in turn, starting with the student who is called.”

The bald priest standing in the front focused his attention as he said that. After preparing for the summoning ceremony, the priest called out the names of the cadets one by one.

“Eisen Doubt.”

“Isaac’s Tasque.”

“Nyx Mondo.”

The children proceeded forward as they were called and proceeded with the summoning ceremony. Before the summoning ceremony, the children who were called took something out of their pockets.

When I saw what they had taken out, I was horrified and took it out. What the children brought out was a confirmed summon ticket that they could receive if they hit the ceiling with a spear.

‘No, why do you have that?’

I wonder if this is the meaning of gacha. I’m sure we’ll all pick 3-star and 4-star summons anyway… … .

But contrary to what I thought, the children started praying with the items in their hands.

“Oh God… … Please bless me!”

Saying that, the cadet offered the golden fairy wings.

It was a heirloom that made sure to pick a 4-star hero. However, the magic circle that ate the wings did not respond.

Then, as if to eat and fall, he spits out a 1-star summoned beast.

‘… … ?’

Something was strange.

“Heirlooms passed down from generation to generation… … Float!”

Another cadet offers a rainbow cloud to the magic circle. The magic circle that devoured the heirloom devoured the heirloom, once again spit out an insignificant 1-star summoned beast.

‘What is that… … .’

It was then that I realized the identity of the strangeness. Clearly, the magic circle did not shine golden even though it was a 3-star or 4-star or higher summon ticket.

When a 3-star or higher pet is summoned, it is the rule of thumb that the magic circle shines brightly.

‘Because it’s real… … Anything else?’

I wasn’t sure, so I watched the other children’s summons a little more, but the other children were the same.

The magic circle does not shine when sacrifices are made. After watching it for a while, I realized what I was going to do.

‘If it’s like this… … .’

The tongue sticks out and the taste is lost. The pleasure and anticipation of the superiority of knowledge was no joke.

“Next, Stella Eritz.”

At the turn of the cadet representative, everyone’s eyes turned to her. The red-haired girl walked forward casually, not feeling any pressure.

“Are you ready?”

“yes.”

“Then, the summoning ceremony… … .”

Unlike others, she reached out her hand lightly towards the magic circle without any heirlooms.

And at the same time, the magic circle was dyed with gold. Seeing this, the priest exclaimed in admiration.

“Oh, this is… … ! A golden summoning circle that appears only to a few talented people… … !”

‘… … They don’t seem to know at all.’

hahaha, Stella was one of the main heroines of the game. At the same time, he was a character who competed for ranking in user popularity polls.

Obviously, he had a high rank among nobles, so he might have known some of the secrets of summoning.

Of course, it was a problem to know the knowledge and need the goods to implement it.

After a while, a fire-breathing spirit appeared from the magic circle dyed with gold. It was a fire spirit salamander, a three-star summoned beast, but a sigh flows out of my mouth.

“Wow, trash… … .”

Tub, and cover your mouth. I don’t think anyone would have heard of it, but Stella, who was holding the summoning ceremony from afar, turned her head and looked at this side.

I hope you heard that? It can’t be. Just avert your gaze and ignore it.

“next… … Ian Clark.”

My name is called I quickly moved forward. The priest looks at me and smiles with a nice smile.

“Are you ready?”

“yes.”

“Are you going to proceed right away?”

I carefully looked at the magic circle. Gacha is luck after all. There is no law that says that a 3-star rare pet won’t come out just because it’s drawn now.

However, I was well aware of my luck. In a situation where even Risemara is impossible, do you leave everything to luck?

‘That’s stupid.’

Heck, he smiles and faces the priest. He returned the same benevolent smile.

“I’m not going to pick it up.”

“… … Yes?”

For a moment, the inside of the temple fell into silence.

* * *

Stella Eritz, she is the eldest daughter of the 4th Duke that supports the Empire, and was a summoner who inherited the Fire Spirit Ifrit.

For her, life as a cadet was just a time to develop a bond with Ifrit and get used to each other.

The summoning ceremony held at the same time as entering the academy did not have a significant impact on her life.

However, as the eldest daughter of the Iritz family, she could not show her lack of appearance, so she followed the vision passed down from generation to generation and scattered soul stone powder into the magic circle.

Then, the magic circle was dyed golden, and a three-star summons that no one could draw from among the cadets was summoned.

‘Salamander… … .’

She didn’t like the fact that it was a fire attribute that overlaps with the Ifrit she had, but it could be said that it was a tour.

However, a sigh blew among the cadets who were watching from behind.

“Wow, trash… … .”

It was a very small sound that others could not easily hear, and she caught it and turned her head.

I don’t know who said it, but I’m sure I heard it. However, the cadets were focusing their attention on the Salamander she summoned.

When she turned her head again, the priest looked at her with a smile on his face.

“Really, it’s the academy’s ups and downs.”

“… … thank you.”

Hearing the priest’s words through one ear, she made a contract with the Salamander. After a while, the Salamander pattern is engraved on the back of her hand.

After completing the contract and returning to his seat, the priest immediately calls out the next cadet.

“Ian Clark.”

There was a high probability that it was a family name that I had never heard of, a baron or a self-writer embedded in the outskirts.

Naturally, she also tried to forget it in her mind.

“I’m not going to pick it up.”

The voices she heard are contrasting in her head. The voice I heard earlier was that man.
