n“Oh, Ian, you came back!”

nKain greeted Ian warmly.

n“It’s not easy, right? Haha…”

nKain wasn’t even considering that Ian could succeed on the quest. In fact, failing on capturing the wolf

nand returning to the guild was part of the quest.

nHowever, Ian wasn’t an ordinary player.

n“Yes, it wasn’t easy… the wolf was so stubborn…”

nIan truly meant it. He had spent more than an hour on beating up the wolf.

n“But I have captured it.”

nIan took out the Scroll of Binding with the Blue-Eyed Wolf sealed in it and gave it to Kain.

n“What? You captured it?”

n“Yes. Is there a problem?”

nKain hurried to check the scroll. The Blue-Eyed Wolf was indeed sealed within.

nKain’s eyes brightened.

n“Aren’t you a beginner?”

n“I am.”

nIan could vaguely understand the reason for Kain’s strange reaction.

n‘It would have been a hard quest for any ordinary Lv.10 user.’

nHowever, he mainly thought that Kain was more surprised because he had completed it so quickly. He

ndidn’t know that he had ‘destroyed’ the original course of the quest.

n“You are truly remarkable!”

nKain’s eyes showed some admiration.

nHowever, Ian was only interested in the hidden job.

n“Then, can I become a Monster Tamer now?”

nTo his surprise, Kain shook his head.

n“No, Monster Tamer isn’t a suitable class for you.”

n“Excuse me?”

nKain, ignoring Ian’s confusion, continued to speak, “Don’t you want to walk the path of the master?”

nWith that, a new system message came up.

nDdling-.

nThe path of the master

nKain, guild master of the Summoner Guild, was impressed by your talents. He wants you to walk the

npath of the master. Accept his offer and you can become a Taming Master.

nDifficulty: —

nReward: Become a Summoner (Taming Master)

n– Would you like to accept the reward?

nIan was thrilled to check the message.

n‘This is-! I’ve never heard of a class quest that took this kind of course…’

nTaming Master must be of a higher class than Monster Tamer.

nHe had no reason to hesitate.

n“Yes, I want to be a master.”

nKain was more than happy to hear this.

n“Oh, as expected! I knew you would accept my offer.”

nWith that, a white light engulfed Ian’s whole body and another system message came up.

n– You have become a Summoner (Taming Master)

n– New statistic Friendship has been created.

n– New statistic Taming Technique has been created.

n– New statistic Leadership has been created.

n– Skill window Basic Summoning Technique Lv. 1 (Proficiency 0%) has been created.

n– You learned the basic active skill Summoning (Dismiss).

n– You learned the active skill Capture.

n– You learned the active skill Blessing of the Wind.

n– You learned the active skill Basic Training.

n– You became the first Taming Master. You gained 500 reputation.

n– You found the hidden class Taming Master. Your Friendship, Taming Technique and Leadership are

nincreased by 30.

nThe light disappeared while Ian was feeling thrilled. He had finally taken the first step of his new path.

n“The path to becoming a Taming Master is very difficult. However, I believe in you. Please bring back

nour legend to life!”

n“Of course.”

nIan then checked his statistics.

n…

nIan was eager to start hunting monsters.

nHowever, before that, he needed to get as much information as possible from Kain.

n“Should I use the Capture skill to get monsters?”

nKain answered kindly, “Yes. You were able to capture the Blue-Eyed Wolf without having any

nFriendship, so you must have a gift for capturing monsters. Nevertheless, I will teach you some tips.”

n“Thank you.”

nKain continued to speak: “The less strength a monster has, the higher is the probability of a

nsuccessful capture. You must be aware of this?”

n“Yes.”

n“But there’s something even more important than draining a monster of its strength.”

nIan listened without saying anything.

n“That is Friendship.”

n“Are you talking about the Friendship with the monster you are trying to capture?”

nKain nodded, “Yes.”

nHowever, Ian still had some questions.

n“Should I not start a fight with the monster and instead raise its Friendship?”

nHis question was only natural. By common sense, you could judge that attacking a monster would

nhave a bad influence on your Friendship with it.

n“Good question.”

nKain took a moment and spoke again.

n“The best strategy to capture a monster depends on what kind of monster it is. However, the standard

nway of capturing a monster is to make it acknowledge the Summoner’s power through a battle and

nlater befriend it by feeding it and taking care of it. Otherwise, it will be even harder to raise the

nFriendship statistic if the monster doesn’t acknowledge you.”

nIt makes sense.

n“Ah, but there’s one exception.”

n“An exception?”

n“In case of young monsters, it is quite easy to befriend it without a battle. Of course, it always

ndepends on the monster.”

nIan concentrated hard on memorizing everything Kain said.

nThe class Summoner was literally an unexplored path. Currently, the man who had the most

ninformation about it was probably Kain.

n“And naturally, the higher your Friendship with the monster you want to bind, the easier it is to capture

nit.”

n“So, it is very important to raise your Friendship statistic.”

n“Yes.”

nIan had another question, “Are there any limits to taming monsters?”

n“Another good question.” Kain continued to explain, “You can capture monsters as much as you want.

nHowever, you can take only a certain number of monsters with you.”

nIan couldn’t understand and stared at Kain blankly, who smiled and spoke: “When a Summoner

ncaptures a monster, he gets a little tattoo on his arm. The monster is sealed within the tattoo and the

nSummoner can always summon or dismiss any monsters he has captured.”

nIan quietly complained at this.

n‘A Summoner has a lot to learn from the beginning.’

nThere were so many things to know, they were beyond compare to when he had become an archer.

nMaybe it was because this was a hidden class.

nHowever, Ian was only complaining with his words as the truth was that he was very satisfied. The

nSummoner class was very complicated and had a lot of thinking to do. This was perfect for Ian’s

ngaming style.

nAfter all, if something was complex, then it meant that there was a lot to study.

n“But if your Leadership isn’t enough, you wouldn’t be able to capture additional monsters. The Scrolls

nof Binding is for that occasion.”

nIan was an expert on games, so, he understood right away.

n“So, the higher my Leadership is, the more monsters I can capture and handle.”

n“That’s correct.”

n“And I need to carry Scrolls of Binding in case a good monster shows up and I have reached the limit

nof my Leadership.”

nKain couldn’t help but clap, “That’s it. You are clearly meant to be a Summoner.”

nIan asked a few more things that he wanted to clarify.

n‘I still have many questions, but it’s time for me to find the answers myself.’

nIan then got out of the Summoner Guild while his lips curled up.

n“Now, let’s go get my first pet!”

n
