chapter 1
1 – Archabug – 1
One morning, when I awoke from a troubled sleep, I remembered that I had been transformed into a hideous vermin.
on my bed too.
huh? What do you mean?
What is it? f*cked up.
[Summoner Academia]
It was a collectible RPG game that I played on my cell phone whenever I was bored.
It is a common setting to become a student who entered the academy, obtain a summons, and live the life of the academy.
The problem was that I was hit and killed by a f*cking truck while playing that game.
a kaleidoscope? There was nothing like that. Rather, it was probably because I was searching for a game, and my last memory was that something happened with the screen flashing.
momentary blackout.
And when I finally realized I had been run over by a truck, I felt something was wrong.
He must have died, so why are the surroundings glowing?
“Cow, it’s being summoned!”
A voice from beside me. However, the voice is not heard because the scenery is still full of flashes.
“This is the end of inferior students! hahahaha! Success! It worked!”
When the flashing light gradually faded and I began to slowly see the surroundings, I couldn’t help but frown.
A completely dark space. For some reason, the scenery reminiscent of the studio I lived in when I was a college student began to be clearly visible.
Avert your eyes. I see a girl jumping in front of me.
A girl with long ears and natural blonde hair. If there were elves in the fantasy world, would they look like that? The appearance I wanted was even mysterious.
The girl was running around in place, her eyes tightly closed.
At that time, the feeling of being very frustrated covered my whole body.
what? this nasty… … What is this uncomfortable feeling? Feeling like I had to say this, I opened my mouth slowly.
But why does the act of opening one’s mouth feel so different?
“you… … .”
A profound, deep, resounding soft voice comes from my throat.
is this my voice? But the compulsion to continue what I had already said came over me, and I continued.
“Are you my summoner?”
“yes! that’s right! I am your summoner!”
As the girl shouted, she opened her eyes and made eye contact with me.
Beautiful eyes reminiscent of emeralds. Also, she didn’t seem to be Korean.
“uh? uh? Hyaaa… … … .”
Suddenly, the girl’s eyes rolled upwards, and then her body leaned to the ground.
I ran quickly and took her body into the top two legs.
“Why, why?”
I asked her and she looked at me again. and fainted once again.
No, why are you doing that?
Rather than that, what did I just do? Received by the legs at the top? Was the bridge at the top?
Only then could I look around my body.
Black, pointed legs that seemed to have been coated with ceramic. Six such legs were moving in front of me.
“What is this?!”
Surprised, she dropped her body and jumped up from her seat.
Then, slowly, I walked towards the mirror I had seen at first.
“uh?”
And I could see a huge cockroach in the mirror.
“Is this the real me?”
At that time, a translucent spear flashed in front of my eyes.
[The Grand Duke of Pandemonium, Gregory Jones]
[☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆]
This familiar UI window and font.
Only then did I get a rough idea of the situation.
I felt like I entered the game [Summoner Academia].
that too
“Why is it a cockroach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The final king of the hate target. with cockroaches.
“Calm down. calm down. You need to calm down first.”
I grabbed my head with the two pairs of arms at my sides and began to roll my head as far as I could.
Are you sure I’m in the game? As a cockroach?
No, it couldn’t have been. If it was a game, a status window would surely pop up in front of me.
… … if?
“Four, status window.”
[The Grand Duke of Pandemonium, Gregory Jones]
[☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆]
[Skill List]
1. Transformation
2. Spread your wings
3. Explosive speed
“f*ck! You really woke up!”
It seemed like it was right for me to enter the game.
“no, that’s fine. They said that even if you enter the tiger’s den, you will live as long as you wake up.”
I slapped my chitin-covered cheek and looked closely at the status window that appeared in front of me.
Certainly, the UI window that popped up in front of me was the same as [Summoner Academia].
The next thing I noticed was my name and rank.
The title ‘Duke of the Demon World’ attached to my name.
There are a total of 4 grand dukes in the Pandemonium that I know of, and there are 3 summons in the game.
In other words, I felt like I, now in the form of a cockroach, was the 4th grand duke.
However, if there was something strange, it was that all of the summoned animals with the ‘Duke of the Pandemonium’ were [SSR grade].
By birth, a noble character starting at 4 stars. But for some reason I only had one star.
huh? for a moment.
I looked at the stars under my name. My rating with only 1 out of 10 stars. Only then did I know the concept of this character.
“Ha, are you the growth type?”
Occasionally, event-type summons came out with this concept.
A summoner who was born as a C-class character with a one-star rating, but can grow further than those with a maximum of 8 stars.
I wanted to be a summoned beast of that concept.
Of course, these event-related 10-star characters were well worth it.
“It must be a problem that he is so damn hard to raise.”
A sigh that comes out of nowhere. I shook my head and looked at my Skilllan.
The name of the top skill is Transformation. I muttered in front of the mirror.
“transform.”
And with those words as keywords, my body began to be engulfed in rainbow colors.
The effect is as if a magical girl from a cartoon I saw as a child transforms.
The dazzling light subsided and what finally appeared was a young man in a black suit.
“Is this really what it looks like?”
This game was a game with a large commercial component. I was sure that there would be other forms besides cockroaches to sell.
And when I tried to use the next skill, I could see the skill column changed.
“What is this?”
[Skill List]
1. Transformation
2. Explosive speed
The original spread of the wings had disappeared.
“Could it be that Spreading Wings is a skill that can only be used after transforming?”
In other words, this character is a character whose performance is enhanced only when he transforms.
Concept You got caught up in a dirty character once, really.
At that time, the girl who was lying next to her started to flinch.
“I had a terrible nightmare… … .”
A girl holding her head and raising her body. Before long, my eyes met hers.
“Ah? All, you?”
“Didn’t you call me?”
you called me I was about to say, but for some reason the other words flew away.
What’s going on? When I thought, a small system window popped up in front of me.
[Attribute: Noble]
-The Grand Duke of the Demon Realm is the idol of all nobles. In front of others, ‘property’ is automatically activated.
It seemed that a feature I hadn’t seen before was activated.
The concept of aristocrats in a young age? If the transformation form wasn’t cockroaches, it would be a setting that would attract money.
“Is that so? Looks like I was dreaming too! In my dream, I saw a terrible creature I had never seen before.”
huh?
“It was the first time in my life that I had such a terrible appearance. The skin reminiscent of purgatory, the mucus reminiscent of the swamps of the underworld, and the long antennae of unknown use… … Whoops. I think I’m going to vomit just imagining it… .”
uh… … I guess I saw it correctly.
“But it was also a dream! To think that such a wonderful person would come as my summons! Let’s see… … Your name… … .”
As she tried to answer her question, her eyes lit up.
“Eh, Grand Duke of the Pandemonium?! Oh, what a great person!”
Is this the same as the setting in the game?
In the game, the summoner could see the summoner’s information.
There are three main things you can see.
name and rank. And it was a skill.
“There’s a grade… … one star? Now wait! That’s 9 blanks! It’s the first time I’ve seen a total of 10 ranks!”
She also seems to have realized that my rating is strange.
It was a natural reaction because the final grade of a C grade, which is usually one star, is only five to six stars.
“that… … What should I call it? After all, would the Grand Duke be good?”
A picture of a summoner calling a summoned beast a grand duke, it must have been a bad picture for the other guys to see.
“Gregory. Gregory is fine.”
“ah! okay. Then I’ll call you Gregory!”
“Do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
yes She answered confidently and seemed to continue looking at my status window.
“Um, by the way, Mr. Gregory? Shi, if you’ll excuse me, can I see Gregory-sama’s skills?”
My summoner suddenly stepping on a mine. I quickly turned around.
“Before that, you guys won’t reveal your name?”
Summoner greatly embarrassed by my words. She smiled hahahaha with a look of self-importance.
“Yes? sorry! Uh, I’m Roger von Euglia. Good luck in the future! My first summons. Gregory.”
And Rosé, bowing down to her waist, greeted me.
And then, a flash of light passed through my mind.
“… Euglia? Did you just say Euglia?”
“yes? That, what about it?”
Euglia.
Lily von Euglia to be exact.
It was the name of a female character played by players in the game, and it was a character with the setting of being a descendant of an ancient forgotten elf.
And the name of the summoner in front of me like a lie is Rose von Euglia. It was clearly a related name.
“Do you know an elf named Lily von Euglia?”
“uh? Do you know our ancestors?”
Is it the setting of descendants?
Certainly, at the end of the story mode, I did show him dating a human male player character.
But the result is right in front of my eyes. Something felt strange.
“Another ancestor’s name must have been Lars.”
“uh? No, that’s right!”
Apparently, he used his mother’s surname rather than his father’s, who was a commoner.
“Ku, ha ha ha ha!”
Evil laughter started to erupt from my mouth.
Of course, my original laugh wasn’t this evil laugh, but now I couldn’t help but laugh.
The future of the story in [Summoner Academia]?
there is. There are plenty of possibilities.
Continuing the story in the game was a huge advantage for me, knowing all the stories, hidden backgrounds and tactics, weaknesses and opportunities.
Of course, the future is unfortunate, but it was enough just to share the same worldview.
“uh… … That, Gregory? Are you all right?”
“ha ha ha! Then don’t be fine.”
Now I feel very good.
The end of the original game story was like this. The main character and his summoned beasts who prevented the destruction of the world.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
God grants them one wish as a reward. And the protagonist speaks of a wish to restore the world that was devastated with a wish… …
Summoners were different. They all told God their desires, and God granted them all.
And, according to my hypothesis, the current world must have been like this.
“Rosé. Could it be that a new disaster has appeared in this world?”
“uh? yes You knew that too!”
It was such an obvious setup. Bringing warriors from another world to prevent the end of the world.
In other words, I decided that the reason I came here must be related to the destruction of the world.
“I am a cadet at the ‘Summoners Academy’, which nurtures summoners to prevent that disaster.”
And the background of the story also seemed to be the same.
With this, the goal has been set.
I make this newbie stinky summoner the world’s strongest summoner.
And after saving the world, he asks God to return to the original world and live a happy life.
It was a really neat ending.
“Um, by the way, Mr. Gregory.”
“Why?”
While I was drawing various plans for the future, Rose, who was standing at a distance, looked at me and said,
“Gregory-sama’s skill called Transformation. can i try it? Knowing the skills of the summons can help you later.”
“Does not matter. yeah what? Rice, transformation?!”
Wait a minute, if I transform here, I’m sure—
“yes! Then I’ll activate it! [Transformation] activated!]
My body starts to glow with a flash of light.
My white skin, caught in the flash, begins to harden and turns into pitch-black chitin.
A new pair of legs appearing through the sides.
When the flash finally disappeared and the transformation ended, I could see Rose standing there blankly.
“Rosé, are you okay?”
Rosé stood blankly at my question.
When I pushed it lightly, my body leaned backwards.
“Passing out again?”
It seemed like it took some getting used to.
