Hotel Devalya, Liam's Room, Night.

'The moon looks quite beautiful, but it shines lonely in the sky... is it destiny being thoughtful, or is it all just a big fat lie...' (Liam)

While staring at the moon through the window of his room, Liam was thinking about complicated thoughts in his mind.

'Sigh~ it all started with one summoning ritual, and now I have come such a long way...' (Liam)

...

(Liam's memories...)

On that, one fateful day.

"Father! Father! What kind of familiar will I summon?" (Liam, younger version)

Liam was the youngest child of his family, thus he was liked and loved by everyone a lot, until that one day at least.

Neo smiled at Liam's question, he bent down and placed a finger at Liam's heart.

He said in a gentle tone:

"It depends on your heart my child, what you summon is mainly dependent on your talent and your will... even I would not know about it until you have summoned it..." (Neo)

Liam hadn't 'awakened' yet since he wasn't even sixteen years old yet, he was only going to carry out this summoning ritual using the inherent mana that resides in a latent form in his body.

(Latent mana, is the form of mana that resides in every object of the world. The mana in the atmosphere, in the rivers, stones, soil, or in organic creatures, is what we call latent mana.)

(Only an awakened person can bring out its true potential. Even ordinary people have this latent mana, it's extremely difficult to use it though...)

Neo had set up a mana circle for all his children, its purpose was to summon a contracted beast to protect them in their journey to peak.

(This magic circle uses a person's latent mana automatically and helps them summon a familiar for them.)

(It's an expensive magic circle created with costly materials, not everyone can afford this thing... and even if they could afford it, only Neo have the knowledge on how to actually create this magic circle...)

...

Neo patted Liam's back and said in a gentle tone:

"Go ahead and summon what your heart desires..." (Neo)

"Yes!" (Liam)

Liam was smiling from ear to ear, his excitement was written all over his face.

All of his older siblings smiled at him and wished him good luck.

With an excited face, Liam hurriedly walked down the basement and stood in front of the magic circle.

Only one thought was spinning over and over in his mind:

'Everyone is expecting so much from me, I must not let them down... but what should I summon?...' (Liam)

After thinking for a while, a sudden thought came to his mind.

'Yes! I want to be as strong as my father when I grow up! So I must summon something that can help me reach my father's level of strength in the future!' (Liam)

After making up his mind Liam stretched out his small hand, and a determined look appeared on the young Liam's face. He brought out a small pocket knife and made a small cut on his thumb.

His blood dripped and fell on the magic circle instantly.

"Come forth!" (Liam)

The magic circle started to shine brightly at Liam's command.

Everything was going as planned, but there was just one major miscalculation in all this planning.

Neo and all of Liam's family members didn't take into consideration the fact, that the latent mana in Liam's body could be much much more than a normal person's body could possess.

Well, they couldn't be blamed either.

Liam had yet to awaken and Neo was the only person capable of seeing that immense latent mana reserve in Liam's body and Neo's real body wasn't here at the time. (The real body of Neo was wandering around the human empire's borders...)

The Neo that Liam always saw at home was just a mere summoned beast of the real Neo. This summoned beast didn't have the capability to predict and see through Liam's hidden talent.

And thus, the unforeseen thing happened without any warnings.

...

The magic circle shined brightly and its brightness kept increasing more and more due to the insane mana output provided by Liam's body.

The magic circle went into an overloaded mode and the whole dark basement became so bright that Liam had to close his eyes to avoid getting stunned.

*Rumble*

When Liam's huge mana reserve was finally pushed into that magic circle, the whole Aldif mention started to rumble like crazy.

Everyone was bewildered and shocked at this scene.

At that moment, a huge adult dragon manifested through that summoning circle.

Its huge body broke through the basement and its large wings smashed the whole Aldif mansion into bits of rubble.

*rooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!*

The shadow dragon roared at the sky as if it was announcing its mighty presence to the whole world.

Its aura made everyone feel chills all over their body.

Neo's summoned beast that was copying his form and pretending to be the real Neo, lost its form and died instantly in the presence of this mighty dragon's presence. (Lowly beasts can't withstand a dragon's aura after all…)

At that moment, the real body of Neo Aldif walked out of a portal and cast a barrier to save the lives of the Aldif family members. Otherwise, they all would have been crushed by the mighty aura of this shadow dragon.

Even Neo was shocked when he saw that Liam had summoned this shadow dragon at such a young age.

...

Oblivious to all this chaos happening around him, Liam who was standing right in front of the dragon didn't feel that anything was wrong at all.

Instead, a huge smile was plastered on his face.

"I did it! I did it! I summoned a dragon! Now I can become as strong as my father!" (Liam)

Hearing Liam's loud cheers, the dragon lowered its eyes and stared at the tiny body of Liam, as if it was looking at a lowly creature.

[Tell me human… Are you my master?]

Hearing Ellie's voice directly into his head through telepathy, Liam was quite surprised but he ignored it and said in a happy voice.

"Yes! I summoned you! What's your name? I am Liam Aldif!" (Liam)

"Will you become my friend?" (Liam)

Seeing that happy expression on Liam's face, the dragon seemed to be quite surprised.

It was as if the dragon was taken aback at Liam's generosity.

[Heh, so there are people who can accept a shadow dragon too…]

[Good then, as you have accepted me, I will also accept you as my master, we will have an equal pact, and from now on you are my friend, Liam Aldif…]

[My Name is Elisia Mistilteinn, I have been given the title 'Shadow dominator', I promise to lend my help to you…]

"Okay, I promise to be your friend too, I will call you Ellie from now on! You can call me Liam!" (Liam)

As Liam and Ellie both accepted the contract on the basis that, they were both equal and Ellie wasn't obligated to follow any of Liam's orders, this contract had already become just a mere decoration in the eyes of them both.

Ellie was not Liam's familiar in the truest sense and Liam didn't consider himself her master either. They both ended but becoming friends due to some rare coincidences.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

In the history of mankind, this was the first time, a human had succeeded in establishing a contract with a dragon on an equal basis.

(Generally, if you want to make the dragon accept the contract, you will have to use overpowering force to make it fearful of you, this is how Neo contracted his dragon too…)

Dragons are extremely prideful beings, they think that getting into a contract with a lowly being like a human is shameful for them, thus they don't accept the contract.

This means even if you are successful in summoning a dragon, it doesn't guarantee the fact that the dragon will actually accept the contract. It could very likely reject your contract too.

Most summoners use overwhelming force or other methods to forcefully make the dragon their familiar. But this type of contract isn't that strong and ends up becoming a real headache for the master eventually.

Moreover, you need insane amounts of mana to summon a dragon in the first place, most people can only do it after reaching rank S or higher.

But things were completely different in Liam's case.

Not to mention his latent mana reserve was so big that he summoned a dragon at such a young age without even becoming a proper awakener at all, he even ended up befriending that dragon in just a few words.

This was truly a shocking event.

In the shocked eyes of everyone present at the scene, the dragon lowered its head and Liam put his small hand over the dragon's head to pet it.

This scene was so unbelievable that the eyes of the Aldif family members nearly popped out of their sockets.

The giant dragon turned into a shadow and transformed into a humanoid form. It took the form of a young human girl with dark black hair and it had black-coloured serpentine-like eyes.

Ellie shook hands with Liam and she smiled like a normal human girl.

"Nice to meet you, master!" (Ellie)

The young Liam blushed in panic when a girl suddenly held his hand out of nowhere, but he didn't back down either.

"Nice to meet you too, Ellie!" (Liam)
