Reincarnated With A Summoning System

The best thing Cain could do to get ready for this quest was to level up the group he was going to take with him. There were no guarantees that the Bunny and Dragonkin were the avatars that the Quest referred to, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Using the logic that the other Avatars should also be people who were close to him, since he got the quest, Cain decided to issue a Guild Quest, to turn in information relating to the laws that govern the world. That way as long as they tried, they were involved in the main quest and should gain the rewards.

At least in theory.

Getting Jin leveled up was easy, she was a Mage, so he could just send her to the tower repeatedly, or even to multiple towers daily to build experience.

There was also an experience bonus item enchantment among the abilities that he had learned through [Spell Crafting]. He hadn’t had a chance to actually try it yet, but he had the diagram available.

If he placed it in every item that she had, she could greatly increase the speed of her leveling in the tower even without the quest active on her subsequent runs.

Cain immediately pulled a set of the Blue Quality Mage gear that Char kept in the Guild Bank for new recruits and got to work, hoping to get it all done before he was disturbed. Pants, boots, robes, gloves, helmet, amulet, two rings, two bracelets and a staff were all relatively quickly enchanted for a twenty percent per item bonus.

Each of the items was chosen because it already had a few points of bonus experience per kill, giving her maximum gains at the lower levels.

He would have to apologize to Char later for borrowing the best of the training gear.

220 percent was pretty good, but in order to clear the tower quickly, the gear would still need to be better. Unlike other transfers, Jin was a Mage before arriving here, so she only needed spells and practice to be somewhat capable again, since she had the experience.

The Guild Skills are unavailable in the tower, so she would have to rely on her own abilities, and Cain didn’t know how much she got at the first level. It might only be a single attack spell plus her [Cantrip] abilities, which weren’t really combat capable.

If that was the case, she would need to be gear carried for optimum speed, so Cain began increasing the quality of the gear, bringing it first to Epic, then Legendary Quality.

That gave it much better bonuses, and the experience per kill stat that all the items began with rose into the low four digits total from under a hundred combined.

Level 1 to level 2 was only 500 experience, so this set of armor should absolutely rip through the early levels.

Cain was finished before the others came down to eat, with the sound of four energetic feet and one slithering body rapidly approaching from the Guild side of the house.

Jessica and Jin might not be members yet, but they soon would be. Cain just had to show them the benefits of membership to get them to agree, assuming Cyrene hadn’t done that already.

The kitchen Puppets passed by while he was waiting for the ladies to arrive from upstairs, bringing meals to the newly arrived humans in the other wing, and Cain gave them instructions to recommend that they all try out the tower, or a training battle. The combat might trigger a System activation if they really are transfers that glitched out on arrival.

“Guild Master Cain, buddy, pal, my new very bestest friend.” Jin declared, hopping in his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.

Cain listened to her thoughts for a second then smiled. “It’s fire and arcane spells you’re after, right? I will make you some quickly, since my inscription skills are faster than yours were in your past life.”

The Dragonkin laughed and moved to a seat beside his. “Cyrene was right, you really are a helpful Guild Master. Just a couple nice offensive spells to get me started would be perfect.”

“I will do you one better. I gathered a set of gear for you, but I will also make you some spells after breakfast. What can you do for magic right now?” Cain asked.

“I can do arcane barrier and magic missiles. It’s a shame my body isn’t as strong as my last life, but as I level up it seems like I will recover my magical power.” Jin responded with a sigh.

Unlike the others who lived in mundane worlds, she still had memories of casting powerful spells that she didn’t have the mana for anymore.

She did manage to use magic without a class though, so there was a chance she would be able to learn her old abilities without the system the same way that magical creatures traditionally did.

Nemu and Jessica seemed to have become very close friends, and the Felian companion was explaining all about Long Fang Valley and its residents as they ate. Jessica preferred not to fight, so the tower would be a last resort for her leveling, but she would probably get experience for helping out around town.

“Jessica, I will make you a new set of clerics clothes with bonus experience soon, then you can go with Nemu to explore the town and see what you can do to help. I am sure your goddess will help you out with some experience to build your strength, since she already gave you one special quest.” Cain suggested.

“Oh, that would be good. I can meet the local midwife, and the healers, and all the expectant mothers, it will be great.” Jessica agreed.

“Just no trying to stab people for patting your head. I can assure you that it is going to happen, they even tried it with the Tracii clones.” Tasha, the recently summoned Commander in the form of a female Spider Demon laughed as she entered, braiding her long hair with her upper appendages, followed by all four copies of her Lieutenant and the Blood Dancers.

“Are you going to meet people? Can we come with you? We met a lot of people already and they are really friendly.” The Blood Dancers asked eagerly while finding their seats.

“I don’t see why not. Though we might not be going to see exciting people, more likely we will visit with the sick people and pregnant women.” Jessica’s comment made all the Blood Dancers, as well as Tasha snicker.

“What?” The bunny asked, offended at being laughed at.

“There’s literally a hundred people with healing classes in town. It’s very rare anyone stays sick more than a day. Every woman who aspires to be a mom and gets a class usually picks a healing class. The men and adventurous women pick a class to help with the sort of job they want, so the only families that need healing for basic sickness are the ones without any healers among the living generations.” Cain explained.

“And with so many Wolf Kin, who are pack oriented by nature, neighbors are always willing to help. We don’t even have a proper militia, since the Valley never needed one.” Svetlana added.

“I like this place more all the time. Do you think I could join you all and just stay here?” Jessica asked.

“As you wish, Priestess.” Cain joked, while sending the invitation.

“Sneaky bunny. Me too please, Guild Master.” Jin asked with her best pleading face.

They really had added a lot of official members to the Guild lately, but it looked like they would have enough space left to finish their attempts to add the Guardians in their region of the Southern Continent.

After that, Cain would have to come up with something to keep the Guild growing. A regional sub Guild wouldn’t get all the benefits that they used to lure members, but an alliance with other established groups could certainly be in their future.

As soon as breakfast was done, Jessica’s self appointed entourage dragged her out to go see the city, while Cain led Jin into a sitting room and took out his inscription desk.

“What a curious artifact. Does it supply the materials for just a few mana? That would be incredibly useful in the Temples for the students.” Jin announced, kneeling down to inspect the construction of the desk.

“It actually came from a training academy, but the technique for making them was lost for many years. I could probably recreate it, but it would take a lot of time.” Cain explained.

He got straight to work, creating [Fireball], [Arcane Blade], and [Arcane Armor] to add to her repertoire over the course of the next hour.

“That’s about all you can use at level one, but I will lead you to the training tower right away, with instructions for them to let you practice all day and not just for one attempt.” Cain informs her.

“Why would you only train one set? Is the tower really busy, or is there something special about it?” Jin asked.

“Both. There is a once daily quest to challenge the tower that you will receive when you enter. The bonus experience and chance at a reward item is what everyone comes here for.” Cain explained.

“Don’t worry about making people mad. A hundred at a time can challenge the tower, one spot isn’t a big deal, and the Guild Master created it, so he gets special privileges.” Cyrene informed her with a consoling stroke of the Dragonkin’s wings.

“If I’m not causing trouble, I will gladly take up your offer. Until I’m at least back at the power level that I remember from before I arrived here, I don’t think I’ll be able to really relax. I talked to some other transfers about the feeling of vulnerability earlier, and they all said that they felt powerful at level one, but none of them came from worlds with magic or cultivation. “

Cain nodded in understanding, then passed over the books that he had made for the Dragonkin mage. Her scales were an interesting sort, dull gray, but almost shiny black in some spots, and they seemed to get lighter or darker based on her responses. That was uncommon but not unheard of in full blooded dragons, but Cain had never seen the effect in person before, since Laura shimmered all the time. Jin used the spell books right after receiving them, then frowned and sighed, realising just how limited her mana was.

“Lead the way, Guild Master. I’m in desperate need of some more mana, this is just ridiculous.” Jin half joked as she worked out a battle strategy for a mage that can only use a few spells before running out of mana. Fortunately Cain had given her [Arcane Blade] which lasted up to fifteen minutes on one casting, so she could just beat things to death if needed.
