Online Game: SSS-Rank Supreme Summoner - Chapter 2

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Players had not officially entered the server yet. So they were most likely in version 1.0.

Li Huan racked his brains to remember.

Necromancers were just another class after all.

Necromancers enslaved the Undead, while Summoners summoned creatures to work extremely hard for them. In essence, they were actually not that different.

But as a small boss in the earlier stages, Candace’s identity was far more complex!

Other than being a Necromancer, Candace had a second identity!

He was a member of the Dark Council!

Now, Candace had ended his performance of spells on stage and began to speak eloquently.

As the crowd listened to the Arch Mage’s esteemed teachings on stage, they looked at him with reverence.

Li Huan was no different, except that he was not listening to Candace’s teachings.

Instead, he was trying to recall the plot surrounding Candace.

That man was a member of the Dark Council. True to its name, the Dark Council committed every kind of heinous deed imaginable! It disregarded human life, and was filled to the brim with evil!

And what was most frightening, was that Candace had disguised as a Summoner in order to make use of the Mage apprentices in the town! He had captured them to perform evil black magic experiments.

Moreover, Candace had no intention of letting the captured apprentices live! It was not enough for him just to kill them. He continued to use their Necromancy Summoning to summon back the souls of those who had died, squeezing dry every last bit of self-worth they had!

That spate of atrocities… capitalists would cry if they saw it!

While he was doing those quests in his previous life, Li Huan never bothered about things like that.

The boring, transitional dialogue had only been a hindrance to his great killing sprees!

A mere Necromancer, what a joke!

But the situation was different now. In the past, no matter how ferocious that type of boss was in the plot, it would still be defeated by players at the end. But Li Huan was not a player now!

He was an NPC! Should he be captured and used for evil black magic experiments, he would truly be done for!

Just as Li Huan was brainstorming, the person beside him patted his shoulder, breaking his train of thought.

“Eh! Stop looking already! You look unfamiliar. Probably a newcomer, right? Newcomer, you must learn well! This is the Arch Mage of our Luca Town’s Mage Tower! Incredible! The goal of every single one of us!”

“Hey, aren’t your aspirations way too low? Is that it? The extent of your goal?” Li Huan thought.

“For now, follow me! Let’s go to class!”

Oh, that’s right. Mage apprentices had to first go through a basic introduction to magic in Mage Tower.

Eternity was a popular online game worldwide. Naturally, it contained a lot of somatosensory operation.

When he was still a novice, Li Huan had already taken that type of course, with all kinds of basic formula and Hand Seals.

He might even have memorized them better than the multiplication table.

In general, Mages were harder to operate. Leveling up also required more resources and was far more difficult. Therefore, compared to other classes, Mages were a lot more popular and respected.

Sitting in Mage Tower.

Looking at the Level 9 Mage in front of him, talking non-stop.

Li Huan could not be bothered to listen to a single word.

He was only concerned about one thing now. And that was Candace, the mastermind behind everything!

How about trying to escape, since he was left with no other option? Previously as a player, he was on pre-set paths that he could not escape from. But now, he was an NPC! According to memory, it would not be difficult for him to find a secluded place outside to slowly level up!

He hissed. That wasn’t right. Did beginner quests ever contain a plot bridge about escapes? To think that back then, the game even hinted that if players immersed themselves fully in the plot, they would be rewarded. He had no desire to do so then. Who would have thought that he would one day regret it!

On the surface, the most powerful person in Luca Town was supposed to be the Mayor. But in the town was not only Mage Tower, but also the one and only Mage who had completed a class change, Candace.

The power that he held over the town could be described as a great deception of the masses! Li Huan was a Mage apprentice under the refuge of Mage Tower. He would probably be dragged back after taking just a few steps!

If that happened, it might be even worse than being tortured to death in experiments!

No, no, he could not escape. Li Huan racked his brains to try to recall. How on earth did that person die?

It seemed… it seemed like a person from the Temple of Life had found something on him?

Temple of Life was the most widespread temple on the continent. There was one in Luca Town too. The main god of Temple of Life was the Goddess of Life, also known as the God of Harvest or God of Agriculture.

In every Temple of Life, there was a Temple Priest. Luca Town was no exception. It had a Level 27 Temple Priest named Morgue.

He was the most powerful figure in the temple. His class was Life Priest, which possessed strong support powers. A Life Priest typically did not have strong combat powers, but it had a nine to one chance of killing a Necromancer!

Li Huan’s thought process gradually became clearer. That’s right. It was a group of people from the Temple of Life led by Morgue who had discovered Candace’s secret disregard for human life and thereafter destroyed him!

If Li Huan brought Candace’s evil deeds directly to their attention, wouldn’t he be able to push the plot forward right away, and have Candace reduced to ashes?

But his words would have no basis. Candace had now packaged himself as a great and kind person, who earnestly taught everyone spells.

If Li Huan simply ran to Temple of Life, shouting for justice to be served, he would be chased out as a lunatic, wouldn’t he?

Li Huan hissed. Why not do this?

“Good! You! Stand up!”

All of a sudden, Li Huan noticed.

The droning of the sound of teaching in his ears seemed to have stopped a long time ago.

When Li Huan took a closer look, he saw the instructor glaring angrily at him.

The Mage apprentices by his side were just waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

“You! What’s your name?”

“Li Huan.”

“Level?”

“Level 1.”

As soon as the words “Level 1” left his mouth, faint sounds of mocking echoed across the room.

“Level 1! You’re only at Level 1! Li Huan, do you know how many people around the world want to become a Mage? This is only your first day as a Mage apprentice, and you’re already fooling around like this! I advise you not to waste your time and everyone else’s!”

Li Huan thought the sight of that Level 9 ‘instructor’ reprimanding him was quite funny.

He could not hold it in anymore.

“Haha… cough cough cough, what you’ve said is correct!”

His proper apology at the end of that reply could not conceal his laughter.

It even seemed like his laughter could be heard echoing within Mage Tower.

Since it had come to that, he might as well execute his plan, starting from that class!
