Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

.

.

.

What did this System mean by never being alone?

I am perfectly fine by myself.

People in this world are horrible anyway, why would I want to be with anyone?

I… I might sound edgy but that's just what's on my mind.

Growing in an orphanage is not the same as growing as a normie-ass kid.

I'm done with shitty people.

I guess that's why I enclosed myself in my apartment and rarely go out…

I have… always feared the outside world and all of the damn people.

Is there anyone that is actually good? I have never seen someone that is not a scummy piece of shit.

But yeah… now things are about to change… with the sudden Ragnarök and everything…

I might be forced to get out of my cage and confront the world outside.

I cant' help but feel nervous.

At least I hope this "gacha system" can help me on something at the very least.

I suddenly wake up, everything seems peaceful and normal as always.

No aliens are invading the city or anything.

Maybe it was all just a dream?

Just to shatter that thought, a holographic window emerges right in front of me…

Ding!

[You have acquired the [Supreme Gacha System]!]

[You can now gather [Orbs] through a series of different tasks given by the System to summon the Heroes of your fictional stories!]

[Additionally, you can check your own status by just thinking about it]

[You can gather other types of currency and materials to upgrade your Heroes or your equipment and Skills]

[You can also enter the [Daily Dungeons] to farm Materials, Gold, and Orbs, alongside gaining Experience Points!]

[There are only 6 days left, prepare well, [Player #15]!]

…

Aaah… So it is really a Gacha System, it even has the damn Daily Dungeons where you can farm items and gold…

I don't know if I should feel good or bad.

But it is an amazing power, nonetheless.

So, where's my newbie starting pack?

Nothing?

Not even a damn ticket?

Alright, show me my Status.

…

[Name: [Gustav]

[Race: [Human]

[Element: [Null]

[Weapon Type: [Any]

[Orbs: 0]

[Gold: 0]

[Hero Feathers: 0]

[Job: [Summoner]

[Skill Points: 0]

[System Rank: 1]

[Level: [01/10]

[Vitality: [10/10]

[Mana: [1.000/1.000]

[Strength: [10]

[Magic: [150]

[Dexterity: [15]

[Skills: [Summon]

[Summoned Heroes: None.

…

Huh… I suck I guess.

Wait… 1000 MANA?!

And… 150 Magic?!

Oh, I see. I guess it is THAT type of trope.

Sometimes, when the main character gets their status, they suck balls.

But they are always, somehow, amazing at magic… Although they have never ever used it.

I guess I am experiencing this type of trope, how amusing.

I guess I need a bunch of Mana to keep my summons going… So it makes sense to be gifted this much.

Anyways, what do I do?

I don't have any offensive Skill, I got high Magic Stat, but I can't summon a hero I don't even have.

Come on, System, gift me at least a 1 Star one!

…

Nothing?

Sigh… No easy beginning for me I guess.

So what do I do?

I remember it said something about Daily Dungeons…

Let's see…

Okay System, show me the Daily Dungeons.

[Daily Dungeons]

[Gold Dungeon (Beginner Difficulty) (0/3)] [First Completion Bonus: 3 Orbs]

[EXP Dungeon (Beginner Difficulty) (0/3)] [First Completion Bonus: 3 Orbs]

[Skill Points Dungeon (Beginner Difficulty) (0/3)] [First Completion Bonus: 3 Orbs]

Ooh.

Just like in gacha games, you have daily dungeons you can visit to get fundamental materials for your Heroes to grow stronger.

The game developers are always scummy, so to not make it easy for you, you can only enter a designed amount of time per day, that way, they control the pace at which you grow stronger with your party. The easy way to increase your progression speed is by, obviously, spending money. And through this scummy service, they gain a crapload of money.

Gacha games are so successful because they don't take as much money to make as console games and make around x1000 the money the developers used to make them

Indeed, this is the same.

What a scummy System…

But there are three dungeons, and I can enter three times per day, meaning that I can enter a dungeon 9 times a day, that's a lot, nonetheless.

Alright then… Wait, wouldn't I die if I enter as I am?

At least, I have to somehow prepare.

I only have 10 Strengths though… Is that enough to kill Beginner Monsters?

I can get Orbs by completing these Dungeons once, but then what?

Where can I get more Orbs?!

Maybe more opportunities will unlock as I do them?

Are there any tasks?

Ding!

[Daily Tasks]

[Defeat 10 Foes: 1 Orb]

[Defeat 20 Foes: 1000 Gold]

[Defeat 30 Foes: 1000 Hero Feathers]

…

So only one Orb daily?

Is there… Main Tasks? I remember there were always daily quests and main quests.

Ding!

[Main Tasks]

[Complete Tutorial Dungeon: 20 Orbs]

[Summon a Hero: 5 Orbs]

[Complete Gold, EXP, and Skill Points Dungeon Once Each: 20 Orbs, 5000 Gold, 5000 Hero Feathers]

[Level Up a Hero to Level 5: 10 Orbs, [Random Item Box] x2]

Oh yeah, nice.

Now we are talking, System. I really thought you would throw me into a dungeon to just die!

Alright then, let's visit that Tutorial Dungeon first to get 20 sweet Orbs.

First of all, I am going to wear some better clothes and… probably pack a knife, an improvised shield, or something more to protect myself… Maybe that old metal bat I got too.

…

After a few minutes, I am ready.

I got into decent clothes and I am ready… with a metal bat at my hand.

I also packed a few liters of water, some snacks, and a lot of other essential stuff in the System Inventory, which I discovered while I was preparing.

It is the typical cheat Inventory with infinite slots, so I can store as much as I desire.

"Alright System, throw me into the Tutorial Dungeon…" I said rather timidly and nervous, as the System immediately obeys my command.

Ding!

[Generating Dungeon Gate…]

[Complete, good luck!]

FLASH!

A sudden crack in space itself emerges right in front of my eyes, I almost jump out of surprise.

A gate appears, like twisting colors, a portal that leads me to another place…

I brace myself while swallowing saliva, and step in.

Yeah, I guess I am not writing novels anymore…
