Black Summoner – Chapter 1[by Shasu] Chapter 1 – Summoner

 

Upon waking up I was surrounded by greenery as far as I could see. I was stranded in some forest totally unbeknownst to me.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t remember why I was sleeping in this place. I couldn’t even recall my own name. Was this the so-called amnesia? It would appear I didn’t forget my general knowledge and education at the very least. Personally I couldn’t recall it at all, but the knowledge of me being born and raised in Japan on Earth was preserved.
My mind was shrouded by a haze. It was a really odd sensation. Being puzzled by the situation I slowly stood up when I suddenly noticed something flashing in front of me. There wasn’t anything there a short while ago though… .

“Wh-What … this is …” (-)

A button was shining on a semi-transparent screen. Upon inspecting it closely, I was able to see a letter written on the button. It somehow resembled the menu screen of a game.

“Welcome to the alternate world!”

(T/N: “Isekai he youkoso!” I prefer the romanji version xD )

For an instant my thinking froze completely. The alternate world? Is this alternate world the place I am at right now?
While I was pondering this the button continued to blink. Although I was considering this to be a bad joke I pushed the button.

“Congratulations! You won the right to transfer to a different world as result of a impartial lottery!
Although the memory of the time before the transfer was erased, please do not worry as you granted us permission before the transfer. Due to your retained knowledge you should understand that point must be strictly adhered to!”

“What did I do before transferring!?” (-)

“This is a fantasy world where you will encounter fierce sword competitions and exciting magic battles.
Now, you have to learn about the skills you chose before the transfer. Please look at the Status screen for a detailed explanation.”

In the next moment the screen changed and displayed a standard array. Ah, as I expected, this was a screen often seen in games.

The distrust from a while ago vanished as I was staring intently on the screen. It would appear I have quite the fondness for games. After all I was currently trembling excitedly in anticipation.

I felt sorry for speaking badly of the transfer before.

From the explanation provided by the menu screen I had spent skill points before the transfer to acquire several skills. As far as I could see, quite a lot of skill points were used.
Up to grade S and the Summoner class it is. I only know of one famous game with such a setting … as expected, huh?

“Well, for the moment, let’s check out the details of the skills.” (Kelvin)

Summoning

By making a contract with the target you can add it as a follower.

Summoning the follower within the magical power range of the summoner is enabled.
By raising the skill rank the number of possible followers increases, the status up of the followers increases and an upgraded contract becomes available.

Green magic

Magic to manipulate the power of earth and wind.

By raising the skill rank the available magic spells increase.

Eye of Appraisal

Status of target is viewable.
By raising skill rank the amount of information increases.

Growth rate x2

Upon leveling the stats gained are doubled.

Skill points x2

Upon leveling the skill points gained are doubled.

Experience sharing

Experience is shared by all party members.
This skill also applies to the summoner’s followers.

“Oh, now that’s a decent support character. The benefit of leveling is great, too.” (Kelvin)

The Summoning skill required a contract though.
I wondered, should I talk to them as soon as I defeated them? Magical power supply … what’s that?

“After the targets agrees, it will be possible to form a contract with it. Upon conclusion of the contract, the target will change into a magic body and be assimilated by your magic. To successfully summon the target a suitable amount of MP is required and the maximal MP value is lowered. This MP represents the magical power supply. If you cancel the summon the maximal MP value returns to its former value, but please be advised that the MP used for the summoning is not returned.”

Thank you for the explanation. To think I would be instructed this precisely after asking. This menu is quite handy.

In short, consecutive summons are not possible due to the MP not recovering fast enough, huh?
Furthermore due to the decrease in the maximal MP, the possibility to use other magic will be narrowed down, too. MP management will be crucial, I guess.

“You are quick on the uptake. Should we go to a nearby town for starters then? There is an adventurer’s guild over there. It would be a good idea to register.”

… Quite the common talking for a while now. Menu, will you accompany me?

“Fufu … that would be the least I can do as you have no memory. Please have a look at this.”

As Menu replied, it displayed a screen.
