Master Taming

The Penydak Dragon Path

The legendary Dragon Tamer Oakley is impressed by your summoning. He wishes you to walk the path of Dragon Tamer.

If you accept his proposal, you can change the class to 'Dragon Defender'.

Difficulty level: –

Reward: Class-change to Summoner (Dragon Tamer)

Will you accept?

* When the proposal is accepted, the existing class will disappear.

'Hidden class!'

Ian's eyes widened to twice his size.

At the appearance of the new hidden class, his mind was muddled.

'Can you get a hidden class this way as well?'

Ian, who was shocked, quietly kept quiet, and Oakley asked once more.

What are you thinking? Follow me and walk the path of the legendary Dragon Tamer.

'Dragon Taming'

It was really a cool class name that gave rise to vanity.

Student Ian shook.

'Between Taming Master and Dragon Tamer, which one is better?'

It was times like this when he wished he could see at least a strategy book that others had written.

'Taming Master is a class that I received easily at the beginning of the game, while Dragon Tamer, I get from suffering, so …'

Ian decided to trust his intuition.

“I want to walk the path of Dragon Tamer, Oakley. I'll change the class. ”

Oakley's face brightened.

Oho! You've made the right decision, Ian. Dragon Tamer was truly an incredible class. You won't regret the decision you made today.

Along with his words, Oakley extended her hand towards Ian.

And the blue light that spread from his hands began to wrap around Ian.

However, at that time.

You cannot change a class to a class with a lower rating.

You failed to turn the class into Dragon Tamer.

System messages appeared one after another.

Ian's surprised.

"Hu .. eh?"

And along with the system message, disappointment appeared in both of Oakley's eyes.

Hoho, so you are already a Summoner walking in the path of a master. Quick…

And he smacked his lips before continuing.

I did think you were some kind of special Summoner when I saw your Red-Faced Red Wolf, but to think you were walking in the path of a master.

Ian was weird.

He was sad that he could not get a class with a cool name like Dragon Tamer, but he was also happy to know that the Taming Master class was a higher grade.

Ian's eyes were slightly shining.

He felt that he could get quite good information from this elder.

"Is my Ly a little special?"

Oakley tilted his head.

Ly's? Ah, the wolf's name must be Ly.

"Religion . ”

Oakley's words continued.

Ly must be a Red-Faced Red Wolf that had Rare rank, but the power I felt from it was much higher. This was something that would never happen unless a tamer increased their Familiarity in a special way.

Hearing the elder's words, Ian was inwardly shocked.

Even though he was an NPC, he looked at Ly's rank and stats precisely.

'As expected, he did say he was a legendary Dragon tamer. '

Ian looked at Oakley a little.

"Wouldn't there be more to be gained from it?"

"But, Oakley, is it alright if I ask why you are waiting for a challenger here?"

At Ian's question, Oakley momentarily had a puzzled expression.

Oh, right, how could I forget? I'm annoyed by your Familiar that I almost forgot about the most important thing.

Hearing the elder's words, Ian inwardly swallowed his hatred.

'As expected! There can't be a single reward after passing this crazy test! Because of this old man, I almost left with nothing. '

When he thought that the hidden classes Oakley offered did not count as gifts, Ian almost thought that there was no reward.

"The most important thing?"

Oakley nodded.

Correct . Follow me this way.

As soon as Oakley finished speaking, his form slowly began to move.

He floated as if he was gliding through the air, and went to the iron door across the room.

'He is the definition of a ghost. '

Ian hurriedly followed behind Oakley, and shortly after, the iron door, which was tightly shut, began to open with an explosion.

Keu-keu-keung- keu-keung-!

Please come in .

When the two men entered into the iron door, the iron door let out another explosion as it closed.

Wh-bang!

And the place Ian entered was a dark cave that emitted a mysterious energy.

If the place where he had just fought against Chaos Drake had a feeling like a stone room, the place he had just entered had a feeling similar to a natural cave. Oakley slowly walked further inside, standing in front of a place where a large stone was placed and turning to look at Ian.

The stone had a feeling similar to the altar where the temple ceremony was held.

One prize and one obligation are given to those who have passed the exam.

"…?"

Ian stared blankly with an expression that said as if he did not understand, and Oakley's words continued again.

That is, along with receiving a test reward, you will receive an obligation.

"obligation?"

That's right, obligation.

Ian thought to himself.

"Is it like a search?"

And Oakley's words continued.

First of all, if you receive a gift, you are forcibly given an obligation with him. You can't refuse it.

Hearing those words, Ian's expression stiffened.

"It's crazy!"

If a quest fails or gives up after receiving it, your Fame will drop proportionally to the quest rank.

There was no big impact when dropping one quest whose rank was lower than D, but he heard that there were cases where when search rankings were high, their fame was cut by the thousands.

Before the reset, Ian had failed in his previous C-rank search, and he remembered losing around 500 Fame.

Moreover, depending on whether his quest was successful or not, he could lose his reward. So if he obtained a quest with a higher level of difficulty than he expected, he could lose his fame without gaining anything.

"It just so happens, there's no way to know in advance what kind of obligation it is, right?"

He asked just in case, but it was as expected.

Can't tell you until you decide.

"Hm …"

Oakley's insistence on Ian, who was pondering, continued.

What are you gonna do? Will you give up the gift and not accept the obligation, or will you accept the obligation along with the gift?

Ian decides.

"It's not my style to give up here and leave. '

Ian, who made up his mind, nodded his head as he opened his mouth.

"Yes, I'll take it. ”

Ian's Response.

Along with that, a system message appeared.

You've accepted Oakley's proposal.

As expected, the search information appeared.

Ring- .

The Remains of the Forgotten Ancient Monsters.

The legendary Dragon Tamer Oakley had sealed himself under the Snow Mountain of Crupia for over a thousand years.

After receiving the Dragon God Soul Stone, go find the Dimensional Enchanter.

Quest Difficulty Level: B

Quest Conditions: A Summoner who has received recognition from Oakley.

: Can't be at the party for the duration of the search.

Time Limits: None

Unknown Gifts –

You cannot refuse the search.

You have received a quest, 'The Remnants of the Forgotten Ancient Monsters'.

Since it was an irresistible search, a system message saying that he automatically received the search appeared.

And Ian, who was reading the search information, was a little relieved.

“Fortunately, there is no time limit. '

It was a bit surprising that he got a B-rank quest even before he reached level 50, but the fact that it has no time limit means that it does not matter even if he receives a quest and it is not clear I t .

'But if you can't be at a party during a search, does that mean you can't do a party game at all until you complete this quest?'

If it was a different user to Ian, it was a critical penalty.

However, for Ian, who initially enjoyed solo play, it could not be considered a penalty.

'I might not be able to complete a B-rank search alone right now, but …'

It was something he could do more safely after he raised his level and became a little stronger.

While Ian was thinking about these things, Oakley approached him.

And he handed over to Ian a lump of pitch-black rock that was emitting a mysterious energy.

You have obtained the item 'Dragon God Soul Stone'.

'This is a soul stone …?'

Oakley opened his mouth when he saw Ian tilting his head while holding an object that looked more like a piece of coal than a soul stone.

To be honest, I was a Summoner who existed thousands of years ago.

Ian turned to Oakley.

If it was a quest he had to do, no matter what happened, he needed to hear Oakley's story carefully.

And in my generation of living, there are legendary monsters that no longer exist.

As if Oakley was reminiscing about his past, his words continued with a sentimental expression.

And among them, one of them was a Familiar who had spent most of the time with me and was my best friend, War Dragon Karceus.

At some point, Ian was immersed in the Oakley story.

The story is quite interesting.

A thousand years ago, I was the head of the 'Dragon Tamers', which had now disappeared, and Karceus was one of the five dragons called the Dragon God.

Oakley's story is long.

This is the content of the story when summarized.

The Prilania Valley, the base of Dragon Tamers in the northern continent a thousand years ago, was attacked by evil dragons, and through it, many dragons and tamers were killed.

Oakley's mission is to protect the War Dragon, Karceus, who is one of the five Dragon Gods and his friend, and as such, he escapes from the Prilania Valley and hides in the snow mountains.

However, due to the evil dragon that followed him constantly, he had no choice but to tie Karceus and his soul under the snow mountain, and had been waiting for a thousand years.

"But are those evil dragons so powerful that they cannot be blocked by your power or the War Dragon called the God Dragon?"

At Ian's question, Oakley had a bitter expression as she nodded her head.

The number of evil dragons is far superior compared to us, and especially the evil dragon God, 'Khalifa', is even stronger than Karceus.

Ian asked her another thing she wanted to know.

"What happened when I went and found the Dimensional Enchanter with this soul stone?"

The Dimensional Enchanter will tell you how to revive the War Dragon soul back into this world.

Ian tilted his head.

"Rise one soul?"

Oakley's words continued.

What do you think is the reason I survived here underground, where even light rays do not enter, for such a long duration as a thousand years?

"…?"

This was to revive the bloodline of the Dragon War Karceus that was severed after that day. The existence of the 'Dragon God' could not end like that. If I can, I want to continue the existence of Dragon Tamers as well …

Ian finally understood.

'Ah ... That's why he proposed that I turn the class into a Dragon Tamer?'

Oakley continued to speak.

Originally, if the first person to pass my exam was the Summoner, I planned to make them continue the existence of the Dragon Tamers and hand them Karceus' soul. But if that wasn't the case, I thought of asking them to bring Karceus' soul to the Dimensional Enchanter through the soul stone.

He continued to speak in a slightly annoyed voice.

But I never thought that there would be a Summoner like you, who has a higher ranked class than Dragon Tamer.

Ian felt regret for no reason at all.

"I saw . ”

If you continue the existence of Dragon Tamers, I will be able to leave this world lightly, and Dragon War will become your Familiar.

Ian had a somewhat strange expression.

"Can the Dragon Tamer revive Karceus' soul stone?"
