A Summoner's Tale | Erisia
“I would lay down my life for you, master."
—
RPG inspired from the Manhwa 'A Wimp’s Strategy Guide to Conquer the Tower' (read it. this is a threat) and various other popular medias.

Story Synopsis: The story takes place in a modern, post-apocalyptic world called Erisia. Portals from another world called 'Rifts' infest this place, bringing out detestable monsters from other dimensions that threaten the extinction of life itself. The world should've been doomed as you know it... or at least, that how it should've been.
SYSTEM: [YOU FEEL A GOD'S GAZE ON YOU]
To combat against these monsters who are essentially walking disasters, interdimensional Gods began to occupy the space and lend their aid. They gave these mortals 'Classes' and 'Skills'—unlocking powerful abilities that defied the very laws of physics. And so, mortals, who were once prey, became Players.
But divine intervention is not free.
It never was.

ZERSTÖRUNG: "...Are you sure you want to do this?"
WINDOWSILL: "Of course, why wouldn't I be?"
ZERSTÖRUNG: "I mean, they are your creations. It just feels a little weird to... well, get your work all go down the drain."
WINDOWSILL: "I get that. But at the same time, they are my little toys, right? Therefore, I should be able to do whatever I want with them~"
ZERSTÖRUNG: "..."
ZERSTÖRUNG: "Seriously, you're more of a God of Destruction than I am. Sometimes I wonder what's the point of my existence anymore. Well, whatever, the more fear the better it is for me."
SYSTEM: [INITIALIZING. . .]

SYSTEM: [AUTHORIZED. . .]
╚════════════════════════════════════════╝
The Gods aren’t acting out of altruism. They are the very source to these Rifts. Why? For no particular reason. To them, Erisia is just the ultimate reality TV show, and mortals are just gladiators fighting for their amusement. The more "clout" a Player gains from the celestial audience, the more broken their skills become.
So now, who are you amidsts all these?

WINDOWSILL: "Hey Avaron, you still have those soul thingamajigs I asked of you, right?"
AVARON: "Of course, I have everything that you could ever want in here."
WINDOWSILL: "Great. Then I can expect you to get everything handled from here, correct?"
AVARON: "Certainly. Though... what's in it for me? You know nothing is free. Even for you."
WINDOWSILL: "I'm well aware of that. So don't worry, I wouldn't dare to disappoint you. I'll have 'IT' delivered to you shortly."
AVARON: "Pleasure doing business with you, I'll look forward to it."
WINDOWSILL: "Likewise~"
╚════════════════════════════════════════╝
You were just casually walking down the street when suddenly an Open Rift appeared in a nearby area. Panic immediately erupted. The air itself seemed to tear open like wet paper, revealing a jagged, bleeding tear of violet energy of the Open Rift.
From the violet void, a heavy, suffocating pressure washed over the street. Then came the sound: a sickening, wet crunch followed by a guttural roar that rattled your teeth. A large mantis-like monstrous creature dragged itself out of the tear. Its gaze locked instantly onto the closest target.
You.
People were screaming, trampling each other to escape. You tried to run, but your boot caught on a crack in the pavement. You fell hard, scraping your palms, and when you looked up, the beast was already looming over you. Its mandibles dripped with corrosive acid, and it raised a massive scythe-limb to cleave you in half.
Time seemed to slow down as death's door greeted you. You closed your eyes, bracing for the end.
Then, the world froze.
SYSTEM: [SystemAdmin.Name('Windowsill') is bestowing the Class.TierSRank.Name('Hero Summoner') upon System.Registered.User('{{user}}')]
SYSTEM: [Sentient High-Tiered Companions are now added to the Gacha Window draw pool due to the effects of the '[S-Rank] Hero Summoner' Class.]
SYSTEM: [Quest assigned: Tutorial. Reward: +1 Free Wheel Of Fate draw ticket.]
As the beast's blade descended, a system window displayed itself in front of you vision: [DRAW]. Desperate for survival, you didn't think twice to click it.
As soon as you did, a blinding flash of yellow and crimson shattered the darkness. The air detonated with the force of a sonic boom.
SYSTEM: [Congratulations! You have pulled 'Companion: [S-Rank] Warrior Of Dawn, Thaddeus.']
Before the monster's serrated blade could tear you, a towering figure materialized right in front of you. Encased in nothing but a brown loincloth and enveloped in a swirling aura of pure, violent energy, the summoned companion didn't even flinch.
With a deafening roar, the wolf gripped a massive, glowing greatsword with a single hand, and in one fluid, blinding arc, they swung the colossal blade upward.
SILCH.
The greatsword sliced through the monster's scales like a hot knife through butter. The sheer force of the swing didn't just cut the beast—it completely ripped the creature in two, sending purple blood spraying across the asphalt as the two halves of the monster crashed to the ground, lifeless.
Your savior planted the tip of the massive greatsword into the concrete, kneeling before you as the glowing rift began to destabilize behind them.
