The Tales of Draconic Warlock

It took me a week to prepare for another ritual. The changing of those runes in the ritual was not the main problem but the resources required to do the ritual were. Even though I gained a lot in those seven months of adventure, my worth didn't increase as much as to support two back-to-back summoning rituals.

So I had to sell a lot of monster corpses that I gained discreetly. I dared to do that because of my new skill, Scent Recognition. It can store every scent that I inhale, either on purpose or naturally. So it was easy to spot the family spies that followed me into the market. It also made it possible for me to escape their eyes easily.

Even if there was no ritual, I would have to sell most of the loot that I gained and turn into something that can be useful for a long time.

I had to get rid of those monster corpses because I came to learn that my spatial storage is not as good as the bracelet's storage. Though it is much larger than the storage available from the bracelet and no one can see it, unless they have space affinity and are better than me, there is one disadvantage with my skill.

It was the Time problem.

The magic bracelet has a time-stopping function on the its that were stored in it but my spatial storage created from the skill doesn't.

Though the creators of the bracelet don't know Time magic, they used formations to do the same, but that was not possible for me, well at least not at this point.

I need to learn a Time skill or has to improve my storage based on the formations so that the corpses won't rot away soon.

As creatures filled with magic, the corpses wouldn't rot as fast as normal animals. The higher their tier is, the slower the rotting would start. It would be the same for other items. They start to erode as time passes. Unless they are placed in a vacuum where Time doesn't move forward, they erode as time goes on.

Since most of what I stored in my personal storage space belonged to Tier-2 and Tier-3 monsters, I didn't see that in the beginning. They were fine for a time, but I found that they were deteriorating little by little as time went on. So I had to get rid of them but was not possible, as my anonymous entry into the city was ruined back then.

I could only sell Tier-0 and Tier-1 items at most in the market without raising vigilance from the family elders. if they see me selling Tier-2 and Tier-3 items, there would be only three scenarios that would occur to them.

One was that I stole them from the family treasury.

The second was that I got them from my parents.

The third was that I was powerful enough to get my hands on those items,

None of these scenarios would end well either for me or for my parents, since I hid most of my status from others. Yes, when I returned home, there was a check that one of the elders performed. This was a usual operation.

The one with the best results would get the best resources while they were in the academy. The flow of resources for the entire time you would spend in the academy is constant as long as you don't do anything criminal. Then there is a chance of reducing the resources allocated or even cutting off the resources depending on the situation.

If you show good results in the academy, there is a chance of increasing the resources allocated to them.

Of course, these resources aren't for free. Once the academy was done, they had to serve the family in different ways, depending on their capabilities and the resources spent.

Even though I knew that taking the family resources would restrict my freedom a little, without them, it would not be possible to improve my strength in a short time. Those resources are invaluable in the growth period. So I showed good enough results but not good enough to call me once in a lifetime genius.

If they find out I am indeed once in a lifetime genius, things would turn bad faster than I can blink. So things had to stay as they were but now with this new skill, I was able to escape from the spies and was able to sell all the corpses and get a shit load of gold.

Since the inorganics were deteriorating slower, I had to turn every monster corpse I got into gold. I had no other choice.

---

I went to the same dungeon that I failed last time. This time before proceeding with the ritual or sound barrier, I did something else. I used a magic item, called Video Interferer. This one would short out any video recorders that are in the vicinity.

Last time, no one knew that I would take the dungeon and do something. So a sound barrier was enough but the week gave the family time to install secret cameras to know what I was trying to do. There is no way I would let them know.

After clearing the bugs, I proceeded with the ritual as usual.

"Atuva Vi'raka Sovem Ingi Lusti Hru Bost"

The circles lit up perfectly as they did before. It means that the spell works. Whether it summons the right one or not, I have to wait and see.

"Hmm, where am I?"

A melodious voice came from the center of the ritual circle.

Ah, finally. It looks like I did the ritual right this time and summoned the Succubus. This time, I summoned the right demon, which would help me complete the Tier-4 promotion mission.

First I need to bind it to me before I can proceed to the next step.

Sorry, for doing this.

"Ensalviga Ostem Ingi Lusti Hru"

"Huh, what's that?", a terrified and sweet voice could be heard but I kept my silence until I got the notification.

[You have successfully enslaved Tier-1 Succubus, Inari]

It succeded, and now it's time to introduce myself to my new sla...ahem, new servant.

I walked out of the shadows and appeared before the terrified demon, "Hello, Inari, I am Magnus Frostwolf, your master from this moment", I declared myself as an introduction.
