Omega Summoner

Chapter 152 - Godly Poison?

Adrian checked the last two sites that were below level 100 but turned out it was a bust. He did grind experience for levels though as he only had hours left before the experience multiplier disappears. Adrian managed to reach level 99 but had trouble increasing the experience to get to level 100.

Although people say that it is easy to reach level 100, it is actually easy to get to level 99 but takes a bit more effort to get to level 100. Others easily bulldoze this level by getting missions that give one level but those types of missions are scarce. Others hunt for raid bosses and try to get in the top 10 in terms of contribution to get that level bonus.

"Where am I even getting a raid boss? The top guilds practically hunted them to extinction and the official site said that it takes one in-game year to produce one. Should I actually call in a favor for the Evergreen guild?" Adrian pondered.

Adrian was then logged out because he already consumed all game hours. He was just in time for dinner as her mother shouted that dinner was ready.

====

During dinner timeā€¦..

"Son eat your vegetables. There are kids in this world that do not eat. You should be thankful that you can eat" Adrian's mom warned because he was not touching the vegetables in his plates.

"Okay, mom. Even though eating it will not make them full but I get the sentiment." Adrian murmured.

"What did you just say?" Adrian's mom asked.

"Nothing. I just said that I will eat it even if I do not want to. So sis, what happening for you in-game? Is there anything interesting?" Adrian replied immediately.

"Just some shady powers trying to take over Vampires and throwing them to a war against the Werewolves. Fortunately, I can move behind the scenes to hopefully prevent that from happening so that both species will not end up extinct. What about you? Did anything interesting happen?" Mina replied as if it was nothing big.

"Nothing much. I just need to collect something called crown fragments so that a war between the living and the undead does not happen. If I fail then the world will probably be plunged in everlasting darkness and chaos that would definitely make the gods descend to help. Other than that everything is peachy." Adrian casually replied.

"Why do I feel that you people are talking about something very important? Is it from that game of yours that both of you are playing? Adrian's father asked.

"Yup" Both Adrian and Mina replied.

"Is the game really that great? In the news, they said that the players already reached 3.5 billion players which is almost half the population of the world. What is so interesting about it anyway?" Adrian's mom asked as she heard that Pandemonium is really popular in the news.

"Pandemonium is probably popular because it is the craze for young people. For older people, it is probably because they could live out their childhood fantasies and take a break from the real world. I hear seniors also play the game because some use it as recreational activity. A grandpa even managed to hook a leviathan because he became a great fisherman in the game. It is rumors though." Adrian answered.

"Why don't you two try it? You two just enjoy each other's company all day. You just relax in the house or watch television. Teledramas are so early 2000s." Mina stated.

"I would but your dad is too competitive." Adrian's mom joked.

"I am not. It is you who is too passionate." Adrian's father rebutted and all four people laughed.

They finished dinner happily.

=====

The next day came and Adrian already saw Mina already logged in into the game.

"Strange? Why is she already playing?" Adrian thought and then Marlon messaged him.

Marlon: Did you hear the news?

Adrian: What news?

Marlon: The UN already approved the 15 hour gaming time. Although it is only applicable for those with premium gamepods that have 98% sync rate and above. It is applicable because the medicinal agent used for that will greatly lessen the body's stress.

Adrian: So that is why Big Sister Mina is already logged in even though it is quite early. Bro, an extra nine hours is like huge. The gap between pro players and the general public will widen even more due to this.

Marlon: I know right. Also tell Big Sis Mina that my birthday is coming soon.

Adrian: Why?

Marlon: So she could upgrade my gamepod of course!

Adrian just disconnected from chatting with his best friend due to the last remark.

"Crap! My birthday is still next year. Should I sell my gold coins? I need about 50 thousand dollars to upgrade my pod. I currently have about eight thousand gold coins. I should sell five thousand while the exchange rate is still high." Adrian thought as he went to his gamepod and logged back in.

====

Adrian logged back in the game and he materialized at the Paradox Planes. He sent his gold coins for exchange so that he could upgrade his gamepod a little bit earlier than planned.

"If I actually stream and get famous then I might just earn it easier but I am not strong enough to stream just yet." Adrian said with a sigh as he walked towards Koronn's house to ask about the progress with the poison.

Adrian arrived once again at Koronn's house and the same thing happened again. He was sucked inside a vortex and landed on a faimiliar room which is filled with clocks. He saw Koronn with a disheveled look with huge eye bags.

"Did you even sleep, elder?" Adrian asked as he was worried a bit.

"Staying awake for a few days is not a problem but this poison is my problem." Koronn shouted.

"Why is it a problem?" Adrian asked.

"I cannot identify it. The composition is out of this universe. It is as if this poison did not came from our world thereby breaking the balance of nature and making it even deadlier. It is fascinating." Koronn stated like a mad scientist.

"If it is not from this world then maybe it came from a dark god?" Adrian casually asked but even he did not believe it.

 Koronn then suddenly looked at Adrian as if he had an epiphany.

"Of course! Why did I not consider that? But where did you hear about the dark gods?!" Koronn suddenly stated.

"I just see these events from time to time." Adrian replied.

"I see." Koronn stated.

"I see what?" Adrian asked.

"I see that you are crazy. You should probably get checked up on the head. It might be a serious sickness." Koronn stated nonchalantly.

"I am not a crazy person. I just see these flashes of events from time to time." Adrian stated as he did not know how to describe cutscenes.

"That is what a crazy person would say. I fear for the champion picked by the twin gods." Koronn stated.

Adrian just rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway back to the poison. Can you test if it came from a dark god?"

"Easy." Koronn answered.

Koronn dropped a few drops of the poison on a petri dish. He beckoned Adrian to come closer which the latter did. When Adrian was really close to Koronn, the latter suddenly used a spell that froze Adrian in his place.

Koronn then suddenly lifted a scalpel to which Adrian suddenly panicked because he thought the former was injecting him with the poison.

"Calm down. I am just taking a drop of your blood. You have higher concentration of Asmodian blood in you. We will need that to test if this poison really came from a dark god." Koronn stated.

"You could have just said so instead of freezing me in place." Adrian thought as he was not able to speak.

Koronn then punctured one of Adrian's fingers and collected a drop of blood before releasing the latter from the time freeze. Adrian was about to complain but Koronn was already observing what was happening to the petri dish.

Koronn swirled the petri dish so that the poison touched the drop of blood. What happened next amazed both Adrian and Koronn. When the poison touched the drop of blood, it emitted something like a cry as if it was a living being that was attacked.

Koronn swirled it again so that all of the poison would go towards the drop of blood. A cry resounded and then a miniature shockwave was emitted that cracked the petri dish. The drop of blood was finally devoured by the poison as if it was a living being.

"This confirms it. This poison is definitely very powerful and possibly came from a dark god." Koronn stated in a serious tone.

"What do you mean by possibly?" Adrian asked.

"Possibly because your blood is not pure Asmodian blood. Asmodian blood is very precious as it has traces of divinity from the twin gods. They are the first creations after all. This poison could either came from a dark god or a mythical monster with terrible poison abilities that has been transformed by a dark god." Koronn stated in a grave tone.

"If it came from a mythical monster that is possess then perhaps we have a chance but if it came from a dark god." Koronn stated but never finished the sentence as he had a very serious look in his eyes.
