【Protagonist】

 

His name is Keith.

 

He freely spends his time playing AnotherLink Saga Online.

His outward appearance and his physique are average.

In a day, he spends an average of 18 hours online, with exceptions from time to time too.

On a base level, he does not get too attached and hates having to deal with details.

But on the other hand, once he gets into something, he tends to lose sight of everything else around him.

He also tends to be a bit irresponsible, and forgets things quite often.

His skills in the martial arts are very real, and were taught to him by his grandfather.

After the launch of the game, he was the only Summoner for quite a while.

That is why he was called “the Summoner” or “Mr. Summoner” in the forums.

That tradition has carried on to the present.

 

His master and teacher is the NPC Summoner Aurnier.

Besides summoning, Aurnier also taught him Pharmacy and Alchemy.

That being said, there were a lot of areas where Aurnier’s knowledge was rather lacking too.

He also knows the Guild Leader Lugran, as Lugran is a good friend of Aurnier’s.

At one point, he was also under Lugran’s care for a period of time.

 

His fighting style usually reverts to fighting in the front, fighting with his trusty staff.

He uses spells along with the staff too.

Other weapons include generic assassination weapons, along with tonfas.

Recently, he began using Ropes, along with a Tokkosho.

So far he has been using his Bonus Points only to acquire more skills.

It’s possible to put Bonus Points into status points, but he has never done this.

He plays the game with all sense settings constantly at 100%.

Skills:

Bite　Dash　Threaten　Divine Hearing　Sense Danger　Pursue

Night Vision　Conceal

 

The wolf I randomly decided to get when I started the game.

I decided to name him Volff from how wolf is pronounced in German.

A type of Summoned Monster that can demonstrate his true value a lot more as a hunter rather than as a fighter.

However, in ground-based battles, he can fight very effectively too, taking advantage of his high speed.

After the Class Change, both his hair colour and the feel of his fur changed.

Just petting Volff feels very nice.

Naturally, Volff is friendly to a lot of other players too.

 

Zangetsu　Horse→White Horse Lv3

DEX　7

AGI　25

INT　8

STR　25

VIT　25

SPI　8

Skills:

Trample　Dash　Endurance Run　Wild Gallop　Stampede　Kick

Rider Recovery [Slight]　Magic Resistance [Slight]

 

My second Summoned Monster.

Zangetsu refers to the moon that remains in the sky until dawn.

Zangetsu’s movement speed is unmatched, especially on the plains.

I chose the White Horse for the Class Change.

But not because I wanted to make myself out to be some kind of prince.

Zangetsu is still a war horse through and through.

Although Zangetsu tends to be a bit shy at times?

 

Helix　Hawk→Fighting Falcon Lv3

DEX　13

AGI　27

INT　23

STR　10

VIT　27

SPI　14

Skills:

Peck　Flight　Far Sight　Wide Area Search　Ambush　Sense Danger　Air Mobility

Wind Attribute

 

My third Summoned Monster.

Helix as in, a spiral.

A Summoned Monster good at searching for prey, especially in the plains.

After the Class Change, Helix became even more terrifying.

A proud Summoned Monster, able to keep his cool in any situation.

 

Obsidian　Owl→Mystic Eye Lv4

DEX　13

AGI　22

INT　21

STR　14

VIT　14

SPI　21

Skills:

Peck　Silent Flight　Far Sight　Night Vision　Ambush　Sense Danger　Divine Hearing

Water Attribute

 

My fourth Summoned Monster.

I named him Obsidian because I saw his eyes were pitch-black.

An effective scout regardless of the time of day, and regardless of the place.

I think I managed to get Obsidian a little closer to Master’s Magi-Owl after the Class Change.

Obsidian’s personality is quite inquisitive too, he seems to pay attention to anything.

He’s good friends with Master’s Magi-Owl.

 

Jean　Bat→Black Bat Lv4

DEX　16

AGI　21

INT　16

STR　10

VIT　27

SPI　15

Skills:

Bite　Flight　Echolocation　Evade　Ambush　Bloodsucking　Dark Attribute

 

My fifth Summoned Monster.

I named him Jean because it sounded like the word gene… The hereditary kind.

Not so good in bright areas, but his ability to search for things and enemies in dark places is amazing.

The Class Change made him look even darker.

Oh, yeah, he can suck blood too.

Something that’s easily overshadowed though.

 

Jericho　Wood Golem→Mud Golem Lv3

DEX　6

AGI　6

INT　5

STR　36

VIT　36

SPI　6

Skills:

Punch　Kick　Magical Resistance [Small]　Self-Repair [Slight]　Block

Liquefaction

 

My sixth Summoned Monster.

I took the name Jericho from the Bible, referring to the heavily fortified city of Jericho.

Jericho does have a low mobility but he’s a very powerful tank.

After the Class Change, he gained the ability to liquefy too.

He’s some kind of biological cement now?

Definitely a very unique Summoned Monster, even if it’s tough to explain.

 

Goki　Demon→Rakshasa Lv4

DEX　20

AGI　16

INT　16

STR　19

VIT　19

SPI　16

Skills:

Bow　Hatchet　Sword　Buckler　Block　Evade　Hide　Dark Attribute

 

My seventh Summoned Monster.

Goki was apparently the demon servant of the Japanese mystic En no Gyōja.

Although the name is sometimes spelled a little differently.

His amazing dexterity allows him to use multiple weapons.

I originally meant for Goki to fight in the back, but he comes to fight in the front a lot too.

After the Class Change, he looked even more like a darkness dweller.

I noticed that his personality is very straight too, always gets straight to the point.

 

Senki　Beast Ape→Wrestler Ogre Lv3

DEX　11

AGI　20

INT　6

STR　29

VIT　29

SPI　6

Skills:

Punch　Kick　Throw Object　Block　Evade　Climb　Throw

Self Regeneration [Slight]

 

My eighth Summoned Monster.

Senki was apparently another one of the demon servants of the Japanese mystic En no Gyōja.

Although the name is sometimes spelled a little differently.

Senki also fights very similarly to how I do.

With the Class Change, he was slowly changing from an ape into a monster.

He has a good roar when he charges into battle too.

His personality is very curt. He uses his muscles to communicate more than his growls.

 

Rig　Slime→Yellow Pudding Lv2

DEX　17

AGI　10

INT　7

STR　7

VIT　10

SPI　8

Skills:

Dissolve　Shapeshift　Viscosity　Surface Tension　Nullify Physical

Lightning Attribute　Fire Resistance

 

My 9th Summoned Monster.

Rig refers to the ropes and chains which support a sail boat’s masts.

I often pair him up with Senki, for Rig to act as a sort of living armour.

HIs stats are quite weak, but his skills definitely make up for it .

Rig also had the ability to consume and then break down things within his body.

After the Class Change, Rig changed to be even more terrifying.

Personality-wise… Still a bit of a mystery.

 

Bunraku　Wood Puppet Lv7

DEX　28

AGI　10

INT　19

STR　12

VIT　12

SPI　11

Skills:

Bow　Cooking　Magic Resistance [Slight]　Self-Repair [Slight]

 

My 10th Summoned Monster.

Bunraku refers to a form of Japanese puppet theatre.

In a way, one of my most important Summoned Monsters, he supports my belly.

He can take advantage of his amazing DEX stat to take care of chores too.

In battle, Bunraku excelled most in the rear.

Personality-wise… Still a bit of a mystery.

 

Mumyo　Skeleton→Skeleton Sorcerer Lv1

DEX　16

AGI　16

INT　14

STR　10

VIT　27

SPI　14

Skills:

Hammer　Buckler　Block　Physical Resistance [Small]　Self-Repair [Medium]

Dark Attribute　Fire Attribute

 

My 11th Summoned Monster.

Mumyo means to go astray, according to Buddhist terminology.

His stats were low, but his skills and his special abilities made up for that.

The Class Change was supposed to make him more of a rear support, but I didn’t end up doing that.

Instead, I put him in the front as a half-tank, half-fighter

I got made fun of a lot because I gave him crab armour.

His personality is kind of… Ruthless?
