Awakening to a Special-Grade Explorer

Book 1: Chapter 29

"Well, let's get started."

Tenji checked the surroundings briefly before starting the verification, but there was no sign of anyone.

A mere park is a no-go zone at night because the Ochanomizu Dungeon, which is classified as the main dungeon, is located in this immediate proximity.

There are two types of dungeons: main dungeons and sub-dungeons.

The main dungeon, as the name implies, is the main dungeon and refers to the 47 main dungeons in the world.

These dungeons are still entirely unexplored, and the lowest level is unknown.

However, three main dungeons had been conquered in the past 23 years, and those three dungeons disappeared a month after they were conquered. Tenji had learned this in school as the 'Dungeon Closure Phenomenon.'

And the sub-dungeons are smaller dungeons that randomly appear in cycles and locations within 10km of the main dungeon.

Sub-dungeons only appear in one or two levels. The number of monsters does not increase endlessly or cause a re-popping phenomenon. However, if left unattended for an extended period of time, the monsters will multiply and become unmanageable, so the law requires that they be conquered and closed within two weeks of their occurrence.

The park is located within a 10-kilometre radius of the dungeon, so this area with a poor view is designated a no-entry zone at night.

Since no ordinary people would approach such a place carelessly, it is the perfect place for personal verification.

Immediately, Tenji tried to remind himself that he wanted to summon a new Goblin.

"Whoa, I knew it!"

The 'Book of Enma' began to roll by itself and stopped at the "Summonable Hell Beasts" page.

The word "Goblin" was displayed in silver, and Tenji could not hide his excitement at his guess being correct.

"Okay, let's do it."

Tenji gently touched the word "Goblin" with the tip of his finger.

The page glowed with a crisp white light, turning Tenji's accustomed vision of the darkness completely white.

"Tone."

It was a little different from the Goblin Tenji had known.

They were the same height, skin colour and hair colour for the most part, but their faces looked different somehow. She looked more like a girl than a boy.

Tenji quickly examines the 'Book of Enma' after confirming that another Goblin has been summoned.

"Ah, I knew it. This Goblin is different from the Goblin-Kun?"

[Added Value] 25 Attack Power

----------------

This was the only item that had changed after summoning the new Goblin.

Tenji's attack power had 25 numbers added to it, and his demon ore conversion points had also decreased by 5. The Hell Realm had also changed from 1/2 to 2/2, and a page of Goblins with slightly different stats appeared on the page next to Goblin-Kun.

From there, several items that were Tenji's guesses turned into confirmations.

"All it takes is five points to summon a fifth-grade Goblin. And that what is summoned is another individual with similar status. And the denominator of the hell realm was referring to the maximum number that could be summoned. The attack power parameter is also increased by an additional 25....... I see, that's how it works."

Tenji was finally beginning to understand what his calling was capable of.

Particular grade calling [Summoning Hell Beasts].

It can summon multiple Goblin-like hellbeasts, and its own status value increases according to the number of summoned hell beasts. The hellbeasts also have skill-like items and can talk to each other smoothly, allowing them to fight as instructed in good coordination.

He knew this was his calling.

"I think this is...... an awesome calling."

To visualize the abilities, he can use several companions and improve his abilities according to their number. Several weapons and equipment can also be kept in a book and can be summoned at any time.

This is an uncertain factor, but it turns out to be a pretty good all-around calling. The Oni Lantern item, which restores physical and mental strength, can also be converted for points.

There are so many callings in this world that are specialized in some skill that they are often referred to as "00 roles".

Players can take on the role of swordsman, healer, shield, archer, magician, and other roles that suit their calling and fight against monsters to their advantage.

This is the standard practice of professional explorers.

Some people with outstanding abilities, called advanced explorers, can push their way around with power because they are over-specialized. Still, such people are really only born very rarely.

They belong to senior guilds as aces or are surrounded by large corporations. They are that rare.

"Can I summon Goblin-kun at the same time?"

Tenji suddenly verified his doubts.

[When I thought, "I want to summon Goblin-Kun" in my mind, the 'Book of Enma' started to move, and the letters glowed silver. When I touched it, Goblin-Kun was summoned just as I thought.]

Two Goblins stood in front of Tenji.

"I knew I could summon them simultaneously,...... this isn't that bad."

Tenji realized its usefulness.

[Usually, explorers have multiple parties or raids, but I could see the possibility of not even needing those companions if I continue to grow in this calling.]

Although there are only Goblins at the moment, he imagines that they will be using more hell beasts from the blank pages of 'Book of Enma'

"Oni."

"Oni."

So the Goblin told Tenji, "If you don't have anything to do, let me go home."

Tenji understood them perfectly.

"I'm sorry. Yeah, you can go back. Thanks."

Tenji hurriedly returned the two Goblins to the Hell Realm.

He then just sat there and thought about his calling.

[Yes, my calling is entirely different. It can even be called a New Calling.]

[There are, of course, several classes about calling at Explorer High School.]

[In the first year, you will learn about calling in general and take several famous examples to know what abilities are many, what roles you will be given, and what kind of explorer you can become in the future.]

[In the second year, almost all students decide the direction of their calling and take specialized lectures.]

Tenji had mobilized all the knowledge he had learned so far, but he had never heard of such an alien calling as [Summoning Hell Beasts].

While he had fun thoughts about his uncertain future, he also feared it.
