Spending My Retirement In A Game Chapter 157
Advertisement
Eisen now stood there in the middle of the room, properly putting on his suit while the rest of the group also got individually ready for each of their assigned tasks. As the old man stood next to the door to wait for them, Xenia walked up to him first, apparently still looking through the notifications that popped up for her.
"So, in the description of the enchantment, it says that you're an 'Omni Craftsmaster'? How'd you get such a high-tier job?" She asked before Eisen explained after softly laughing when he remembered what happened in Melroe back then.
"You see the town that I woke up near two 'months' ago was one that had four Grandmaster Craftsmen with different specializations, and when they all offered me master professions when I reached the peak of my limit-breaker title, those offers all continued to grow and then turned into 'Omni Craftsmaster'. Didn't you experience something similar when receiving your 'Elemental Spirit Summoner' occupation?"
Quickly, Xenia shook her head; apparently, that was not at all how she got it. "Before I received my occupation, I leveled up a lot of different magic skills of mine and then got my element. But then I wanted to level up higher than level 15 to increase my mana control and capacity, so I thought I'd get a summoner job from someone with the 'Trainer' title since it fits with my element, and when I accepted the occupation, it told me I could upgrade it to my current one, so I thought 'why not?'."
"Trainer Title? What's that?" Eisen asked curiously, trying to bring someone to get his mind off of what he was about to do, a role that Xenia gladly took upon herself.
"Oh, a 'Trainer' is someone that can teach others occupations. It takes a while to get, apparently, but most people still try to earn it so that they can accept disciples and students or something like that. Usually, it's an 'occupation Trainer' title, but there are also 'Skill Trainer' and 'Level Trainer' titles. The latter two are each harder to get than the earlier ones, though. As the name suggests, an Occupation Trainer teaches occupations, a Skill Trainer teaches Skills, and a Level Trainer can help low-level people level up more easily. But that one's extremely rare, I doubt anyone in this town has it." The High-Elf explained to the old Giant-Dwarf Halfling, who listened to the explanation more than just curiously.
"Huh, interesting. I wasn't aware of that yet." Eisen muttered to himself. Something like that may be worth looking into for him and the other originals, especially the 'Level Trainer' Title for cases like Komer, who was still below level 15, and Benji who would only begin playing in a week of real-time. Although, if it was that rare, it might be harder to get than Eisen was thinking at this moment. "And your element was that Spirit Magic thing you mentioned, right? I was quite surprised. I would have thought you would choose a Mage profession."

Quickly, Xenia nodded, although she seemed to hesitate for a while. "Technically, a Summoner is just a mage that casts magic differently that's all. And I have a specific type of Spirit Magic, but it's all the same principles. I have 'Elemental Spirit Magic', just like it's written in my occupation. Spirit Magic allows you to see different spirits and form contracts with them. Depending on the spirit that you have established an agreement with, you can then accomplish different things. General Spirits are like the thing that I told you about before; it's a residue of the energy and the souls of people, plants, or other creatures that ended up combining into spirits. That Kirisho woman is also a spirit, right? She's a different kind, she's a 'Ghost', technically, same term, completely different thing."
"Oh, really? That does explain some questions I've had, yeah. I thought that it seemed more like something a necromancer should be able to do. Anyway, what does the 'Elemental' in front of your magic do?" Eisen inquired, as the group left the room and chose to make their way toward the base, which was situated about 30 minutes away on foot before Xenia continued to explain.
"Yeah, my specification allows me to see elemental spirits, as well as regular spirits. Elemental spirits are those that came to be through different natural energies. At least in theory, I didn't find any elemental spirits yet, so I wasn't able to gain proficiency in my new 'Elemental Summoning' skill at all. I could technically make a contract with regular spirits, but I feel like I should wait until I find one that my occupation and magic was meant for."
With a smile, Eisen nodded as he listened to what Xenia explained. He was also growing more and more curious about magic. It was such a new thing to him, so obviously he would be at least a little interested. But before Eisen could ask another question, Xenia continued.
"Oh, and your Elemental is coming along pretty well, by the way. It's still in the seedling phase, but your element skill rank isn't high enough yet, so it's to be expected."
Now, completely confused, Eisen looked over at Xenia with a confused expression that was asking what the heck was she talking about?
"Huh? You don't know about that? When your Element Rank hits 6, you can directly summon an Elemental that perfectly suits you. There aren't many people that reach that skill rank, sure, but you should have at least been able to see some every once in a while, right?" She exclaimed, seeming more surprised than Eisen himself.
"Well, this is a Town filled with Mages and Sorcerers, so something like that is probably much more normal here than where I've been up until now. More importantly, you can see something like that?" Eisen asked.
"Mhm, I can. The elementals that those people can summon like that are technically something similar to the elementals that I can make a contract with, after all. So if I activate the thing where I can see spirits and look at the spot in someone's body where the mana and element come from, I can see their Elemental or at least partially."

"Interesting, you've got to tell me more about that later. For now, let's focus and concentrate on the plan, shall we?" Eisen suggested with a smile, actually quite curious about such an elemental, and then the group continued to walk toward their destination.
Luckily, the building that Eisen was about to enter was actually in a quite rundown area, since this area was probably the most easily possible for such an organization to roam around freely. However, the base itself somehow still stuck out amongst the others. On the surface, one may mistake it to be an actual rundown building as well, but once one took a closer look, you could actually see that this wasn't the case quite easily.
It had utterly intact windows everywhere, and even the doors seemed to be well-kept, while every other building in the area had either near to none or completely no windows or doors to show. That was only an example, though. Another good point would be that it was the only place where people seemed to be gathering and standing in front of it in different groups.
"Alright, Xenia, can you try and sense the shard now?" Eisen asked her before she quickly nodded and took out her staff, immediately writing a formation into the air before activating it. To Eisen himself, nothing really seemed to happen, but soon enough Xenia looked over toward the building more closely, her eyes wandering below-ground. "It seems to be in some sort of basement layer, maybe 10 meters below the ground. It's completely static, so your theory that it's kept secure in one location all the time is probably right."
With a nod, Eisen looked over at Sky, telling him to summon the Devil's Spawn, which the Fey-Kin boy swiftly did, while Bree began giving him enough mana to keep it up for as long as needed, on top of keeping multiple Mana Potions on her just in case.
Once the Devil's Spawn climbed onto Eisen's shoulder, the old man activated all parts of his demonic transformation, including the new Fullbody Enchantment, with the help of his staff. Then he looked over at Caria, Melissa, and Kiron to tell them to get ready, and then at Komer to make sure he was prepared for his role. Eisen wasn't sure how great of an actor he was, but Komer also got the additional part of making sure that everyone understood what was going on by freaking out loudly. With his charisma, that may help a bit as well.
"Now, Dien, please cover this whole street with as much mist as you can," Eisen told the Half-Elf, who quickly nodded and grabbed his staff, holding its tip forward before starting to pour his mana inside. "Frost Mist Maximum." He muttered before a literal river of mist flowed out of the staff, quickly flooding the street like water. But it wasn't sufficient enough yet, and it needed to be able to obstruct the sight of the people standing in front of the building to a large extent.
Luckily, it seemed as though Dien had a large amount of mana, and the mist wouldn't stop increasing no matter how long he cast the spell for until the scene was perfect.
And now, with the sunset behind him, Eisen began to walk through the street quietly, simply stepping through the sudden silence that filled out the area.
Slowly, one after another, each one of the goons began paying attention to the small group of people that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, but none of them could take their eyes off of the intimidating giant man at the center. Already, the goons were quite stiff and ended up just standing there, until one that was apparently either especially proud, brave, dumb or maybe even all of it combined, chose to walk up to Eisen.
"Huh, big guy? The fuck d'ya think you're doing?" He asked, looking up at Eisen's cold brazen stare, already startling the goon a slight bit. Before he could even react, Eisen grabbed him by the collar with his left hand, activating its effect of dazing people, before the Devil's Spawn climbed down the Old Man's arm to look directly into the goon's eyes. Now, he was mostly frozen, not being able to lift a finger even if he wanted to, and the area became silent once more, although this time the air became far more electrified, dense and slow as if one second turned into an hour before anyone noticed.
But that all seemed like a lie when Eisen now grabbed the goon's throat, with his right hand relatively lightly as he simply placed his palm against it with a little pressure and only lightly touched its sides with the tips of Eisen's new claws, to activate the Charisma focus. Before leaning in closer toward the goon's face, ensuring his enchanted throat transformed before opening his mouth to say only a single word.
"Run."
Before Eisen could even notice it, the goon dropped onto the ground, trying to get away from Eisen as quickly as possible as he screamed maniacally. The goon accompanied only with his screams, as the others also became a bit more stalwart and tried to figure out what was going on, some even trying to get away from their current location while the majority stood there in confusion at what was going on.
And that was precisely the time when Komer used the voice that he always used when trying to convince people, except made a bit louder and more focused toward the area through one of Xenia's spells.
After taking a long, deep breath, Komer yelled what he thought fit best to make everyone leave. "Run for your lives; it's the Golden-Eyed Demon!"

When Plush comes to Shove
An: So the last synopsis wasn’t really all that good, it was just some mumbo jumbo with no actual point to it so I decided to make a new one that’s a bit more accurate. Leo Lush, just your average everyday (slightly chubby) schmuck, or at least he would be if he didn’t carry around a stuffed toy everywhere he went.I mean, he was a man who could read the atmosphere a bit so put it away in his bag whenever having a stuffed toy out would be rude but other than that he brought it with him all the time, it was a memento from his girlfriend who had died three years ago and keeping it close made him feel better. That’s also why his classmates gave him the nickname “Plush”, though that's neither here nor there. One day at the train station he’d lost his dearest stuffed toy, one of his classmates found it and lobbed it towards him, something that they’d already done many times before, but this time something went wrong and Leo found himself falling in front of the train due to the force of the throw. Now follow Leo as the spirit that developed in his stuffed toy and killed him forces his ghost into another world to possess a different stuffed toy. He doesn’t know much about the world or why he’s there but what he does know is that according to a magic book his girlfriend was also sent to this very world when she died in a plane accident three years ago. An: For those who want to know a bit more about what kind of story this will be: I want it to be a chill feel-good story and stay as far away from those despair-fest stories as possible (No offense to people who enjoy them, I’m just not one of you)Let me make something clear; I’m not writing this story with hope of it becoming really top tier among RRL (Though it did get above rank 500 once which I’m still very proud of even though it’s gone back down to ~850 at the time of writing this) I just want to write a story that I would enjoy reading, that’s why I’ll be mostly skipping over a lot of the parts that I skip when I read other stories, such as stats, the exact value of money and other such precise statistics that no one(as far as I’m aware) really cares about all that much. Just feels like a lot of effort for something superfluous.There’s a single exception and that’s one of the battles, it’s not a despair-fest or anything but it’s got a different feel than the rest of the story due to me being in a funky mood while I was writing it.
