Taming Master

‘Hidden job…!!! ’

Ian's eyes doubled.

There was confusion about the emergence of the new Hidden Job.

Is this how you got Hidden's job? ’

When Ian is embarrassed and doesn't say anything, Oakley asks again.

[How about following me on the path of the legendary Dragon Tamer?]

Dragon Tamer.

It was a really cool class name with a great flow of Kanji.

Ian's pupils were shaken.

‘Which is better, Taming Master or Dragon Tamer...? ’

At this time, I wanted to see the attacking house written by someone.

‘The Taming Master is a bit of an easy job to get at the beginning of the game… dragon tamers have been through this hard work…. ’

Ian decided to trust his instincts.

“I want to walk the Dragon Tamer path, Oakley. I'll take the job.”

Oakley's face brightens.

[Oh! Good thinking, Ian. Dragon Tamer is a great class. You won't regret today's decision.]

At the same time, Oakley reaches out for Ian.

And the blue energy from his hand began to envelop Ian.

But then.

[It is not possible to transfer to a sub-job.]

[The transition to Dragon Tamer failed.]

Consecutive system messages.

Ian was embarrassed.

“H-huh? ”

Along with the system message, Oakley's eyes suddenly felt disappointed.

[Haha... I was a summoner walking the master's path. Somehow...]

And he spoke again, tasting again.

[I thought the Red Mane wolf might be a special summoner, but I never thought I'd be walking the Master's path.]

Ian felt strange.

It was a shame I didn't get a class with the name Dragon Tamer, but it felt good to have a higher job as a Tamingmaster.

In Ian's eyes, he was a little young.

I think I can get some good information from this old man.

“Is my Rai a little special? ”

Oakley tilts her head.

[Lai? Ah, the wolf's name must be Lai.]

“That's right."

Oakley's words continue.

[Rye was definitely a rare grade Red Mane Wolf, but the power he felt was more than that. This can't happen unless Tamer has raised the Summoner in a special way.]

Ian was surprised to hear the old man's words.

Though it was referred to as NPC, it was a clear insight into Rai's grades and abilities.

‘As expected... The legendary Dragon Tamer... ’

Ian glances at Oakley.

Maybe there's more to it than that. ’

“But may I ask why Aukley was waiting here for the challenger? ”

At Ian's question, Oakley suddenly looked embarrassed.

[Oops, look at me. I was distracted by your summoning, so I almost forgot what was really important.]

Ian swallows his anger.

‘I knew it...! I passed this crazy exam, but there's no reward for it! I almost just walked out because of the old man. ’

It was Ian who thought the Hidden Class he proposed was not a reward, and that there was almost no reward.

“Is it really important? ”

Oakley nods.

[Yes. Would you like to follow me?]

After finishing his speech, Oakley's new stature moves slowly.

He slipped away from the air and approached the iron gate on the other side of the stone chamber.

‘There are no real ghosts. ’

Ian hurriedly followed behind Oakley, and the iron gate, which was tightly closed, began to open with a bang.

Heh-heh-heh-heh!

[Come in.]

As the two of them entered the iron gate, the iron door closed with a bang again.

Kung-!

And Ian entered a dark cave with a mysterious energy.

If the place you just fought against Chaos Drake feels like a stone chamber, then this place feels like a natural cave.

Slowly moving inward, Oakley looks back at Ian, standing in front of the giant rock.

The rock felt like an altar to the temple.

[Anyone who passes the test will be given one reward and another duty.]

“ …? ”

After staring blankly at Ian, Oakley's words resume.

[You will be rewarded for the exam and given a mission.]

“Mission?”

[Yes, mission.]

Ian thought to himself:

Is this some kind of quest? ’

And Oakley's words resumed.

[Once rewarded, you will be forced to join him in the task. We don't have a choice.]

At that, Ian's expression was slightly stiff.

‘Oh my… damn…! ’

You have no right to refuse a quest after reading it.

This risk was quite high.

If you fail or give up after receiving a quest, you will lose your reputation in proportion to the rank of that quest.

I've heard that if you give up a quest lower than Class D, it won't hurt that much, but if you give up a quest higher than Class D, you can lose a few thousand reputation at a time.

Ian once failed a class C quest before it was initialized, but he remembered that he had lost his reputation by about 500.

Moreover, depending on the success of the quest, the reward could be taken away, so if you were given a quest with too much difficulty than you thought, you could lose your reputation without gaining anything.

“I wonder what kind of mission... You can't know in advance, right? ”

Just in case, it was.

[I can't tell you until you decide.]

“Hmm…. ”

The troubled Ian is followed by Oakley's haste.

[What can I do? Will I give up my reward and receive my mission, or will I receive my mission with my reward?]

Ian decided.

‘It's not my style to give up and leave here. ’

Ian nods and opens his mouth, deciding what to think.

“Yes, I'll take it. ”

Ian's answer.

Along with him, a system message rang out.

[You accepted Oakley's offer.]

I also remembered the quest information.

Tyring -

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

- Traces of forgotten ancient monsters-

The legendary Dragon Tamer Oakley has been sealing himself in the basement of Mount Cropia for over a thousand years.

Receive the adra from him and visit the Madosa of Dimension.

Quest Difficulty: B

Quest Requirement: Oakley's Recognized Summoner.

Cannot party while quest is in progress.

Timeout: None

Reward - Unknown

Quest could not be rejected.

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

[You accepted the ‘Traces of Forgotten Ancient Monsters’ Quest.]

Because it was an irresistible quest, I remembered a system message that automatically accepted the quest.

And Ian was a little relieved to read the contents of the quest.

‘Luckily, there's no time limit. ’

It was surprising that the quest received before reaching level 50 was Class B, but the fact that there was no time limit meant that it didn't matter if you just received the quest and completed it.

‘But you can't party during the quest... If you can't party until you break this, can you? ’

Penalties that would have been fatal if it had been any other user than Ian.

But it was originally not a penalty for Ian who liked Solple.

‘You can't break a Class B quest by yourself now... ’

It was what we needed to do to be safe after leveling up and becoming stronger.

While Ian was thinking like that, Oakley approached him.

And he gave Ian something like a black rock with a mysterious aura.

[You obtained the item 'Spirit Stone of the New Dragon’.]

‘This is adra...? ’

Somehow, seeing Ian tilting away with an object that looked like a lump of briquette rather than 'adra,' Oakley opened his mouth.

[I'm actually a summoner who existed a thousand years ago.]

Ian turns to Oakley.

However, if this quest was something you had to do, you had to hear his story in as much detail as possible.

[And in my time, there were legendary monsters that didn't exist now.]

Oakley continues to speak with a wet expression, as if recalling the past.

[And one of them was War Dragon Carseus, my long-time summoner and best friend.]

Ian was just immersed in Oakley's story.

His story was quite interesting.

[I was the leader of the lost Dragon Tamers a thousand years ago, and Carseus was one of the five dragons called the new dragon.]]

Oakley's story is very long.

To summarize, this was the story.

A thousand years ago, the Prilania Valley, which was home to dragon tamers in the northern continent, was overrun by dragons, and many dragons and tamers were killed.

Oakley has a mission to protect one of the five new dragons and his companion, Worddragon Carseus, and that is why she escaped from the Prilania Valley and snuck into Mount Cropia.

However, it was inevitable that the dragons who were relentlessly chasing after him sealed Carseus and his soul in the basement of this mountain of snow, and had waited a thousand years.

“But are the dragons strong enough to be stopped by the power of the war dragons, called Oakley or the new dragons? ”

At Ian's question, Oakley nods bitterly.

[The number of dragons was even higher than ours, and the ‘Khalifa’, which was the Lord of them, was even more powerful than Carseus.]

Ian asked me another question.

“What happens if I take this adra and go to the Madosa dimension? ”

[A dimensional mado will tell you how to restore the souls of the dragons to this world.]

Ian tilts his head.

“Resurrect the soul? ”

Oakley's words continue.

[Why do you think I have endured underground for thousands of years without a single strand of sunlight?]

“ …? ”

[To revive the bloodline of Worddragon Carseus, which has been cut off since that day. The New Dragon's name should not be cut off like that. I wanted to keep the Dragon Tamer alive if I could...]

Ian finally understood.

‘Ah... so you offered me a job as Dragon Tamer? ’

Oakley continued.

[If the one who originally passed my test was a summoner, I was going to let him take the Dragon Tamer to deliver Carseis' soul, or I was going to ask the Madosa to take Carseis' soul from this adra dimension.]

A little heartfelt, he said.

[Though I never thought there'd be a summoner like you with a higher class than Dragon Tamer.]

Ian felt sorry for nothing.

“I see... ”

[If you had inherited the Dragon Tamer's veins, I would have died here alone, and the War Dragon would have been your summoner.]

Ian became somewhat curious.

“Can dragon tamers restore Carseus' soul? ”
