Omega Summoner

This is a time when Adrian felt that his nether energy was becoming too quick in consumption. He does not have that much confidence in lasting long in battles. The regeneration of his nether gauge was slow, and the value only increases every fifty levels.

He was at a lost as this was after the number of soulbounds were also reduced to three. He needed a way to make sure that he will be able to pace himself better but there will be times that having nether energy would be clutch. Just as he was wondering what he should do next, the God of Death Abaddon sent him a quest that can is literally godsend.

“What can I do to be come stronger as I am losing my nether energy too quickly?” Adrian thought as he suddenly received a golden notification which means that he is contacted by patron gods.

[The God of Death Abaddon has answered your wish. He has given you a divine quest related to your title of Shepherd of Lost Souls.]

Adrian stared at the screen as he thought that something like this was not possible, but it was godsend. If he manages to send one soul, then he would have twice the speed of nether energy regeneration. Adrian did not have an important quest at the moment as he was only crafting talismans for him to sell.

“Let us do it!” Adrian stated as the world suddenly became almost lacking color.

[You have entered the Spiritual Plane of the Mortal Realm.]

[You are currently in your Soul Guider Form.]

[You cannot get damaged by any mortal life.]

[Beings with the undead, elementals, or spirit attribute will be able to see you but fear you.]

[You can only use one skill called Soul Search.]

Adrian looked at himself and saw that he was a ghostly form of his Netheros Form. In fact, he looked something like a malevolent being because he is burning in what he calls nether flames. He thought that the souls of lost beings would be more scared of his form than his current title.

“I do look cool though but scary at the same time. Let me take a photo of this form and make it my wallpaper.” Adrian thought as he captured this moment.

“Soul Search!” Adrian shouted as he was already done looking and checking his state.

Adrian suddenly released a powerful energy wave that looked like nether flames spreading in a circle with him at the center. The circle radius was about one kilometer, and he detected all the souls in the area. He mostly got data on souls of living beings, but he got one reaction from a lost soul.

Adrian thought that he would need to move to a place where there are more deaths as he only used the skill to test it. Now that he has got a reaction, he must solve the problem immediately to be able to clear the quest. He was suddenly the most cheerful version of a grim reaper.

[You have received one reaction from Soul Search. Do you wish to transport to the location of the Lost Soul?]

A notification suddenly appeared in front of him which made him happy. Adrian thought that he needed to move there by himself, but he was suddenly asked to be immediately transported which made his mood even better. Adrian did not say no as he does not need to look for the lost soul. Who would not like a free ride when offered?

“Let us go!” Adrian stated as he accepted the offer.

Adrian thought that he would be instantly transported like teleportation, but he thought wrong. He travelled in a speed that is akin to light which suddenly made him incredibly woozy. Adrian actually took a one-minute break when he arrived at the location as he thought he would puke on his game pod.

After Adrian recovered, he was suddenly sent to a decrepit old home that seems to be rotting. He arrived in front of the lost soul that he is supposed to deliver to the afterlife. The soul was none other than of an old woman sitting on a chair on the porch.

“It seems that the grim reaper is here for me.” The old woman stated but she did not stand up from her chair and continued to sit.

“If you already know then why you do not want to come with me, granny?” Adrian asked the old woman respectfully.

“You seem to be a respectful one for someone that sends souls to the afterlife. The other grim reapers would just stare at me silently and waiting for me to come to them. You are the first one that actually conversed with me. Are you new to this job, young man?” The old woman asked.

“You can actually say that. If you had been visited by the other grim reapers, then why did you not come with them? The mortal realm is not a place for souls of the dead as you might get corrupted by evil beings and turn into an undead.” Adrian stated as this is his first time officially with a reward, but he has sent some souls to the afterlife before.

“I do not mind becoming an undead as long as I can wait for my grandson. I promised that I would wait for him here as this house would be his after he gets back from his journey.” The old woman stated.

“By the looks of your house, it has been years since your grandson has returned. Maybe you can wait for him in the afterlife instead as other souls tend to do that.” Adrian stated as he has seen some souls waiting in Limbo for their loved ones.

“It has not been long. My grandson only left for one year but sadly I could not hold out for that long. You see… he was a very intelligent child unlike the rest. He was given a scholarship in the Royal Capital of Magia Kingdom. He should be able to graduate by now as this would be his third year attending it. He even sent me letters but sadly I cannot reply to them anymore as I died last week. Can you read them for me, kind grim reaper?” The old woman stated.

“Sure. If that would make you feel more inclined to pass to the afterlife.” Adrian replied as he went beside the old woman after picking up the letters on her mailbox.

Adrian started to read the letter from the week before and it entails the things that his grandson has done. He has already reached three circles as a mage and that he would return home in nine days. Adrian read the letter with the intended enthusiasm that it should have but tears could be seen going down on his face.

“It seems that the grim reaper that has come to me is indeed a kindhearted one. It seems that my grandson will return tomorrow. Can you wait for me until that day?” The old woman stated.

“That should not be difficult as long as you promise to come with me after tomorrow.” Adrian replied as his heart has become heavy.

Adrian did not leave the old woman’s side that day and even chatted with her. He has learned that the old woman was actually an herbalist in the village. Her mortal body has already been buried in her backyard where her plants are also buried.

Adrian did not cry no more as he wanted the old woman to be happy when she passes through. It seems that she was also beloved in the village as there would be children that leave flowers in front of the house. She would then smile when she sees something like that as it warms her soul.
