LIGHTNOVELONLINE Prologue
Prologue
A massive battle event where countless monsters attack the village.
Many users participate due to the great event rewards.
However, the users are being pushed back due to being outnumbered.
"Are you kidding me!? There are too many monsters!"
"You crazy bastards! Is this balance for real?"
"When are the reinforcements arriving!?"
The downside of the massive battle event is that once you die, you have to watch from the waiting room.
While numerous users who had lost their lives were chatting away in the waiting room, staring at their monitor screens, someone shouted.
"Wh-what's that!?"
A giant shadow loomed over the village, and darkness descended.
At that moment, a thunderous roar shook heaven and earth.
As both humans and monsters covered their ears, something massive began to descend from the sky.
It was an enormous being in the form of a dragon.
Blue light began to gather in the dragon's mouth, and that light was shot up into the sky.
At that instant, an anomaly occurred in the calm sky.
With a thunderous boom, countless lightning bolts struck the monsters, ending the event in victory for the player side.
As the users were checking their event rewards, the giant dragon flew far away.
"What was that? An event monster?"
"That's the Prey Guild's summoned creature."
"That thing is a summon!?"

"Unni, Oppa, I'm here!"1
"Our maknae is here!?"²
My guild's unnies and oppas welcome me.
But it's too much.
"Our maknae! This is a gift for you!"
«Necklace of the Dragon King»
When equipped, greatly increases the summoned creature's stats.
A necklace that the Dragon King Ernia received as a coming-of-age gift.
If Ernia discovers this necklace, your relationship will turn hostile and she will pursue you until she retrieves her necklace.
If you die to Ernia while wearing the necklace, it will disappear and Ernia's curse will decrease all your stats by 50%.
"Where did you get this!?"
"We accidentally entered a dragon's lair and found it there! We swiped it thinking of our maknae!"
I've met Ernia before.
If she finds out about this, she won't let it slide.
I'll be kidnapped again, just like before.
