Please Stop Summoning Me!

5 o’clock in the afternoon.

The rain was still pouring outside the cafe. Shen Yi sat on a window chair and soft rain sound filled his ears.

While looking outside, he played with a pure black fountain pen by slowly spinning it with his right hand.

“Tonight there will be rainstorms in Beland, which will last for a longer time, and the amount of precipitation is high. Citizens are requested to take safety precautions and avoid going out as much as possible.”

The faint voice of the weather reporter came from the small television in the back room.

His action stopped mid-way, and he put the pen down on the table.

“Pop.”

The water was slowly rising on the road, and if it continued to rain for a few days, the cafe would flood.

“I don’t think there will be any more visitors today.”

Closing his eyes, he slowly opened his palms.

The white flames spewed out and moved freely in the cafe, as if alive, it squeezed out of the gap in the cafe.

A torrent of rain outside the house, washing the world away with overflowing water.

If the fire happened to be real it would long been extinguished by water, but the white flame was a phantom, even when it dived into the violent rain that would never snuff out.

And it still moved freely through the rain, turning the corner to the next street.

Since it was June, it was still dawn at five o’clock in the afternoon.

Not everyone could enjoy the rain. Some people were anxious about how to reach home, some were happily enjoying the rain, some were sad that the rain might flood, and the rest were idle and careless.

As the flame moved, he clearly perceived their voice, and appearance and had a complete three-dimensional dynamic model in his mind.

The white flames quickly traveled above the umbrellas, flying through the streets like white birds, traversing the rain, and returning to the secluded cafe in a circle.

Opening his eye, Shen Yi raised his palm, and the white flame passed through the glass door and returned to his palm.

“The maximum distance is about 300 meters, so the ability of ‘White Flame’ has been controlled quite well.”

“Then, let’s see how far ‘fogging’ can be developed.”

With that, he calmly straightened his right arm, keeping it level with the table below. Then immediately, he slammeddown with all his might.

The moment his arm touched the table, it turned into a white mist that shuttled across the table.

For Shen Yi, this was another method of practice.

To achieve actual combat effects, it was not enough to be able to fog, but also be able to achieve “instant” fogging.

Otherwise, once the attacker has arrived, wouldn’t it be too late for him to slowly begin to think about the fogging? Isn’t that the dead can’t die again?

At present, only his right arm could be clouded, not his entire body.

“It’s a pity that the clouded body still can’t get bigger, smaller, or extended.”

Shen Yi shook his head with a slight smile. After all, his efforts finally paid off.

In the past two months, whether it was controlling the flame or the partial fogging of the body, he was able to control it quite freely.

He also had a new understanding of the two forces. “One is to release, the other is to change, but the two forces are completely different.”

It’s been two months since he was last summoned, and life had returned to its original peace.

A man named George occasionally came to the cafe for coffee. Gradually Shen Yi was apparent this man was a very extraordinary person, but had no malice towards him.

Everyone has their own secrets, so he didn’t delve into other’s origins, so the two gradually became acquainted.

Shen Yi shared a lot of stories about that world with George. Storytelling was his favorite way of making friends with store customers, including history, religion, philosophy, and so on.

Each time George listened to it, a meaningful expression appeared on his face. It was clear that he listened to it with his heart.

In a relaxed mood, Shen Yi tapped his index finger on the table, thinking it was a good idea to make friends with George.

“It’s good to have an extraordinary friend in this world, maybe I can rely on him in the future if my identity is discovered and being hundred down.”

The value of his friends was comparable to a talisman.

A friend was someone who could always assist you in difficult times. It was good to make more friends no matter what world you were in.

……

In the evening, two or more occasionally came to the cafe there and mostly for shelter from the rain.

It was getting late, and the torrential rain was still falling outside, so Shen Yi closed the doors and windows and switched off the lights in the cafe.

Then he went to the back room, and after shower, he felt much better.

“It’s been another peaceful day, and life is finally back. On it’s track”

Two months back, he couldn’t sleep properly almost every night because of the vibration, and on top of that, the summoner somehow summoned him leaving him fright.

“I think I’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep tonight.”

Having returned to the small bed in the back room, he soon fell asleep.

But soon he opened his eyes and vaguely noticed the surroundings were blurred, and everything around him seemed a little unclear.

Sleep would usually rest the body and calm the mind; however, there were always exceptions—yes, there were always exceptions.

He didn’t know why, but he regained consciousness in the dream.

“Am I in a dream world?”

He discovered this.

In a normal situation, a dreamer would wake up if he realized he was dreaming, but he found himself still in the dream.

Not knowing what was happening, he glanced around the surroundings. The scorched leaves lay scattered all over the ground,and he could not discern how far out they reached.

The burned ashes were piled into tall trees, each of which was dozens of meters high, blocking the boundless pure white sky.

The sky was void of any stars or sun, nothing at all.

In a wooded area consisting of only ashes, pale trees were the key elements, and the water was deep and cold but never clear.

Shen Yi had long been allergic to “Ash”, and he could see the peculiarities at a glance.

As he exhaled, “Ash… The trees were all made of ashes. Could it be that this is the territory of the Lord of Ashes…”

Being here was really a wonderful experience. In fact, it felt more like playing a high-realism VR game than a simple, lucid dream for Shen Yi.

“I wonder how I can get out of here ……”

He strode ahead of the pale woodland.

Tall trees of ashes stood quietly on both sides. Except for the sound of his foot stepping on the charred leaves, no other noise could be heared.

Amidst the woods, not far from him, he saw a little girl standing motionless.

She had long silver hair, burgundy pupils, the exposed calves under the pure white robe were smooth and delicate, and her tender skin was as white as the milk.

He immediately recognized the other party was the little girl he had saved.

She stared straight ahead, looking at him as if she didn’t see anything at all.

“Compared to myself…her gesture is more like a real dream.”

He gently touched her little head.

“Is she in a daze?”

He long wanted to do this, but at that time he forcibly held back in order to maintain the style of God.

“Since it is dream… I can do whatever I want.”

He immediately put his hand on the little girl’s hair and rubbed it.

Shen Yi has always had a natural affection for cubs, whether it was for little girls or little animals.

He felt that this was very normal. All beings had this kind of psychology. Otherwise, how could human beings protect their children for survival?

After rubbing her hair for a while, he felt the little girl’s eyes move slightly.

The action was swift. He wasn’t quite sure, she seemed to be reacting to his actions, but it was just an illusion.
