Lin Hai is 26 years old this year. He was born in an ordinary prefecture-level city in L Province, his father was the director of a tertiary hospital, and his mother died when he was in college. He did not succeed his father in taking over the banner of a doctor, but became an unemployed vagrant with peace of mind after graduation. And just a week ago, he became a summoner.

The story begins with his father, who studied the occult in his youth, and when he didn't achieve much success, he pressed all the occult books he had collected under the box, and Lin Hai was bored a week ago, so he was ready to flip through the books. Lin Hai liked to read since he was a child, and he had basically read all the books at home, so he decided to flip through a few books at the bottom of the box at home, and there happened to be a few books in them that described summoning techniques.

Having received an atheistic education since childhood, how could he believe in this kind of bull ghost and snake god? So he adhered to the mentality of practicing true knowledge, and personally experimented with this so-called summoning technique. He began preparing that night, ready to try a basic summoning spell. This spell only required a simple circle drawn on parchment, and on this lonely evening, he was driven by boredom and began to draw this summoning circle on an old parchment.

There is no doubt that he succeeded. After all, if he fails, that's another story. His first summon summoned a pokely from another world - of course, he hadn't yet researched its other functions than limited lighting. However, this is also a great encouragement to him, and at the same time, his three views have also been greatly impacted. He began to panic, uneasy, and wonder about the truth of the world.

But then, he was poisoned by the Internet and began to make a blind calculation. It's a pity that life is afraid of blind totals. He decided to play a big one, and he turned the book directly to the last page, which recorded the summoning method of the demon god ranked 29th among the 72 pillars of King Solomon, one of the four pillars of the supreme, Astalous.

On this full moon night, he found a dark, remote and uninhabited place, mixed black ink with corpse blood (stolen from his father's hospital morgue) mixed with black toner, drew a hexagram on sheepskin with tomb soil (dug in the wilderness), poured black blood ink along the tomb soil, lit a candle on each corner of the hexagram, fixed the bottom of the candle with tomb soil, and placed the crystal triangular prism on the corresponding candle, 15 centimeters away from the candle. He put the copper bottle in the middle, and put the mountain spring water in the bottle. He was ready to begin the summoning ritual.

At twelve o'clock sharp, he began to recite the prayer in his heart to the brass jar: Astalus, O heroic spirit of Solomon, in the darkness, under the full moon, I sincerely praise your greatness, I will proclaim your name with my sincerest praise, may I call your spirit with my sincerity, please come to this dark place on this full moon night, may my soul be with you forever, Astalus, listen to my call, come to the world, listen to my praise, come to the world, listen to my prayers, come to the world......

After fifteen minutes, the entire summoning circle began to emit a strange light, Lin Hai thought that this should be done, so he hurriedly recited the prayer more reverently, and in an instant, a beam of black smoke poured out from the middle of the circle, condensing in the air into a male figure with a black body and a Hell Dragon in his right hand. Then a foul stench began to fill the air.

The black figure spoke, and his voice was deep, and it looked very majestic in the empty night sky: "Ah...... Long years have passed...... Mortal, why do you summon me? ”

Lin Hai swallowed his saliva, opened his mouth and asked, "That...... Do you know Chinese? ”

The black figure paused, as if embarrassed by the question for a second: "Stupid mortal...... I know all the languages of the world, so I have insight into your language. Mortal, my patience is limited, why do you call me? ”

Lin Hai smiled awkwardly, and then said solemnly: "Your Highness Asthalo, I crave power. ”

Asthalo sneered: "For thousands of years, your purpose is really the same, and your strength is ...... Say, mortal, what kind of power do you desire? Money, power, wisdom, or something else? ”

"All I need is a strong body and the potential for me to be the strongest living being in the world."

"Interesting...... Maybe you can explain why? Astalous was a little curious about this wish.

"My father was a doctor...... He taught me to keep my body good from a young age, and over the years I grew up in the hospital and met too many people who messed up their bodies...... They groaned and tormented them in their beds, as if they would rather die. Lin Hai paused, and then said:

"I don't want to be a wretched creature tossing and turning in a hospital bed, and at that time, no matter how much power I have, no matter how much money I have, it will only be outside my body, only a strong body is fundamental. And since you can make me physically strong, and I think you can make me stronger, then I can get everything I want, whether it is power or wealth, through my own efforts. ”

Asthalo laughed and said, "Ha, I thought you had some huge ambitions, but that's it! Well, I can satisfy you, and I will take it as your reward for successfully summoning me! ”

After that, the full moon in the empty night sky seemed to be brighter, and the figure composed of Asthalo's black smoke began to fluctuate, and the stench in the air made Lin Hai's head dizzy. Asthalo floated in the air, muttering words in his mouth, but Lin Hai couldn't understand Astaro's words at all, he only felt his head more dizzy.

"Mortal! Judging by the fact that you have dared to summon me without any other arrangement, you are a daring and reckless fellow, and in that case, the power which I have stumbled upon over the years of a long time is just right for you, come, kneel, and I...... This gift will be given to you! Asthalo's words were like thunder, like thunder, mixed with roughness and sharpness, revealing an aura of evil from ancient times.

Lin Hai knelt down on one knee in front of Astalous, anxiously awaiting his reward—or retribution. He knows that there are consequences for people to do things, and this consequence is a blessing or a curse, but it is not something that he can control now.

"The gift you will receive comes from a race in a distant world...... There is no God there, only angels and demons...... And they are a hybrid of angels and demons. They call themselves Nephiten, and they have infinite energy in their bodies, and the wildest of them I have met. Asthalo began to reminisce about the past, explaining to Lin Hai the ins and outs of this power.

"They are called savages, and indeed, it fits their character, they are tall and burly, brutal by nature, and rock-solid. I watched them for a long time, and I found that a large part of their strength comes from the anger within them, and this wild anger can often tear their enemies to shreds.

"If you want to have a strong body and unlimited potential, then this bloodline is for you. However, I have not mastered their combat skills, so I can only give you their physique and the power in their blood. As for the skills of fighting...... Then it's up to you to learn it yourself. With that, Asthalo waved his hand, and a dark red light emerged from his hand, and this light split into several streams and injected into Lin Hai's limbs and heart.

As the light poured in, Lin Hai felt that his body was full of strength, and he tried to clench his fists, and he was pleasantly surprised by the tight sense of power coming from the nerves in his hands. He thought to himself, this time he had made the right bet.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I have really felt the power in my body, what do you need me to repay you?" Lin Hai didn't get up, but lowered his head deeper, he knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and if he got the strength, he always had to pay something.

"Nice enlightenment, mortal. Indeed, there is no power you can get for nothing. From my own point of view, I have my own purpose in giving you this power, and you will know it then, but now, you also have a price to pay now—not because of my greed, of course, but because of the rules of this world. ”

"You mean ......?" Lin Hai was a little puzzled.

"To put it simply...... Mortal, do you know the power I'm good at? Astalous asked.

Lin Hai nodded: "I know, Your Highness, you are good at traveling through time and space. ”

Asthalo laughed: "Aha! Yes, you've done some homework. So, let me ask you again, have you ever seen anything supernatural in all these years of living in this world? ”

"I haven't seen it." Lin Hai replied honestly.

"That's right! This world has the rules of this world, and supernatural forces cannot exist in this world for long. I can't stay here long, and you, who have gained my power, can't stay in this world much either. ”

Lin Hai's heart sank: "You mean ......?" ”

"You can't stay in this world anymore, I will send you to another world, this is also my purpose, you want to survive in that world, it will be a world of swords and magic, very suitable for your newly acquired bloodline, and what I want is the head of a god in that world!" Asthalo said with a sinister smile.

"This ...... It's hard to leave my homeland, not to mention that I'm so weak......" Lin Hai said hesitantly.

"You have no room for regret, mortal! What's more, I didn't ask for time, and when you have the ability to play with him one day, it's not too late to complete my task. ”

Lin Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, since this is the case, can I still come back?" What is that world like? ”

Asthalo nodded: "When you complete my mission, I will naturally give you the strength to return here, although you can't stay in this world for long, but you can also visit your relatives - of course, if you delay too long, you can't blame me for the people here!" ”

"I understand, Your Highness, that I will do my best to accomplish your mission. Who am I targeting? ”

Astaro nodded with satisfaction and said: "The name of that world is Exio, it is very special, it is a huge planet, but it destroyed most of the continents in the battle in ancient times, only four continents and some islands remain, and the rest of the place is a vast ocean, but there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger there, even if I come in person, there is a certain danger." Also, that world is magically developed, don't underestimate that world. I'm going to teach you most of the languages there, and the rest is up to you. As for your goals...... When you get there, someone will tell you. ”

Lin Hai nodded, signaling Astalous to prepare himself. Seeing this, Astaru raised his hand, and countless black sand emerged from his body, surrounding Lin Hai's whole body, Lin Hai felt more and more dizzy, he finally had black eyes, fainted, and when he fainted, the black sand floated into the air with him, spinning wildly. After about a minute, the black sand wrapped around Lin Hai turned into a black light, and flew away into the distance. The condensed body of Asthalo's black smoke gradually dissipated, leaving only a thick stench and Astaro's strange laughter in the night sky. The summoning circle underground also gradually lost its color, and as a gust of wind blew, the last traces left by Lin Hai in this world also dissipated with the wind.
