Chapter 2: Interlude
Ryan Arnold is a College Student at Gadjah Mada University. Ryan is not a social person after he finishes his college; he returns home and plays with his games all day long.
To Ryan, his current lifestyle is a normal one because he always does that since his High School time even though his parents angry at his lifestyle.
"Ahhh, I want to play my games... which game should I play... Hmmm..."
Currently, Ryan walking down the Street toward his Apartment after finish his College while thinking about the games that he should play at home.
"Hmmm... how about that new that just released?"
Ryan's lifestyle is not always like this, and when he first entered High School, he is a diligent Student, that always interacts with his friends and teacher.
Ryan Neet's lifestyle born from his parent's neglect toward him, Yes they got angry at his current lifestyle, but they say it one time and then go back to their business project and ignore him all day.
At first, Ryan though that if he does well at school, then his parents will notice him and praise him for his achievement. Still, then reality comes struck him when he comes home and showing his Grade to his parents, he doesn't receive any compliment or anything. His parents only nodded at him before saying that they busy.
Ryan continues to pestering his parents that day until his parents snap and shout at him, saying that his Grade won't matter and not as important as their current project.
That day Ryan's old self began to die out and replaced by the Neet Ryan, who becomes who he is now.
Day by Day he continues to fill his free time inside his room, play games all night, then the next morning go to College, Go home, Play games, and Repeat.
"Yes, I will play that FPS game that just came out, what is called again? Summon of Task? That sounds about right."
Ryan, though, then got interrupted by a bright light coming toward him, he then knows no more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Ryan opens his eyes he sees a bright white room with nothing in it, as far his eyes can see only a white room without any decoration, a second later he hears someone speak to him.
"Welcome to Limbo, My Child"
"Who are you?"
After Ryan said that he looks at the old man feature, He has a long white beard that almost touches the ground, a snowy long hair and Gold Eyes that mesmerize him.
The older man is wearing a plain white robe and a white scarf around his neck.
"I'm the owner of this place and the Earth where you live before."
"You are a God, then?"
"Bingo"
"Then what can I do for you?"
"You are a calm person, even though you just died."
"So I'm death, huh? Well, that's alright, I guess."
"Yes, the bright light that hit you is a truck that I sent specially to bring you here."
"I see, and for the truck that is cliche, you could just give me a heart attack, you know?"
"Well, if I do that, then Truck-Kun will not have a job anymore."
"Anyway, what can I do for you? that you even have to kill me."
"Well, I summon you here is to send you to another world and save it."
"I see just like the Isekai Novel, huh?"
"Exactly, but I sent you there not to save them from the monster but the Hero party."
"What?"
Ryan said with a surprised expression. He surprised because, in the Novel or Game, the protagonist will fight the monster and save the world before married to the princess of that country.
"Yes, I want you to save the world from the Hero party that already been summoned from the Earth by the local Goddess."
"I see, so how many people that got summoned?"
"25 people."
"What?!?"
"Yes, it was not just one goddess that summon a hero from the Earth, but other goddesses summon their Hero too for their continent."
"Continent?"
"Yes, Dragon Continent where a huge amount of its resident is Human, Phoenix Continent where the Elf life, Tortoise the continent where Dwarf lives, Tiger Continent is the place Beastkind live, and lastly Demon Continent where the Demon live."
"Demon? Isn't it the reason they got summoned? to defeat the Demon king like a novel, I read"
"No, the reason they summoned is because of the monster, not the Demon, that is a very different thing."
"Let me guess, Demon is a mindless beast and Demon is a Race?"
"Exactly"
Ryan then thought about it for a second. If the Demon is not a treat and the Monster is the only threat to the world, then why he got summoned? If the hero works together, then the monster will be trounced.
"Ahhh, about that, the monster will become more powerful if any divinity involves, so you can imagine how much it will become stronger with each person got summoned." The God said suddenly
"I see," Ryan said with a bit irritated because of the God reading his mind
"Then please fix the mess that the local goddess cause."
"Well alright I guess, I don't have anything to be missed in the Earth, well maybe my games but..."
"Thank you. Now you can choose your power."
"Wait, I choose power?"
"Yeah, of course, it is the same as the other"
"How much power I can choose?"
"3 should be enough for you to face the other Hero."
"I see, The first power I want is the power to master and control all biology and life to the atomic level without using any fuel to do it."
"I see what you want to do with that power?"
"Well, if I don't have any advantages in Number, then I will create them myself."
"I see, the second power?"
"I want the ability to Master Light magic."
"Hmm, why light magic? that kind of magic only useful for healing and against darkness creature, and your first power should be able to heal any injury that you should have"
"Well, I choose this magic is because I fear the dark magic that I can't fix with my other power."
"I see, your first power is absolute healing ability, but it can't do anything for a curse and Dark Magic."
"Exactly"
"And your last power?"
"Well... Can I get gamer power?
"Like the novel that you read on Earth?"
"Yes"
"Well, the world that I will send you already have a similar system, but in that world system it doesn't drop any loot at all, so I guess I can give you the upgraded version, is that you want?"
"Yes"
"Very well, but I must tell you this, yes you can create a life with your first power but to give it Life and make your creation have a soul you need to imbue your Light Magic in the creature you want to create, if you make a creature without doing that then it will become a mindless drone for you to control."
"Okay"
"Then Good Luck"
Ryan then feels a pull coming from his feet. He suddenly feels like he has been drowned before he gasps and sees a forest around him.
Ryan then gets up before he hears a sound inside his mind.

Ryan Light Magic is the one that becomes the most used magic he has because every day he uses it after he hunts the monster using his sword and coming home with injuries. Ryan then uses his Light Magic, not his other power, because he wants to grow it to become more powerful.
Ryan then ready to go to the town and join the society once more. When he is going outside the house, his beloved Owl flies toward him then landing on top of his shoulder.
"What's up, girl?" Ryan said while gently pet his owl.
"Hoot Hoot"
"Someone needs help?"
"Hoot"
"Where?"
"Hoot Hoot"
"To the west from here? Around 1 Km from here?"
"Hoot" Athena bobbing her head
"I see, then let us go."
Ryan then began to run toward the direction while Athen flies in the air. Minute later, Ryan and Athena, who already on top of his shoulder, see an Orc that has a Red Aura around it. He then sees the woman get punched by the orc and launched her to the air before she fell.
As he sees the orc ready for the kill, Ryan activated his power and created a solid tree from the ground and block its attack.
*Boom*
Seeing that he successfully block the orc attack, Ryan and Athena began to walk toward the Lady on the ground while the Orc busy pulling out its weapon that stuck in the tree.
"Now that is a close one, isn't it, Athena?"
"Hoot Hoot"
"Now now, Athena, I just want to create a dramatic entrance, you know."
"Hoot Hoot Hoot"
"Alright, alright, I will not do that again."
Ryan then Created another tree to bind the Orc and sealed all its movement while he walks toward the Orc.
While Ryan walked toward the Orc and finish the job, the Lady speak to him.
"No... Run... You cant... Beat it..." The lady spoke in a low voice
"Ma, don't worry I will handle this"
After arriving in front of the Orc, Ryan then touches its belly before activated his power and makes the monster to ashes.
*Ding*
*Level up to Lvl 34*
'Huh 9 level?'
After finishing his job, he then walked toward the Lady and squatted down near her and began to heal her wounds and removing her old Scar around her body.
"Who are you?"
Ryan chuckle a little and said
"My name is Asclepius, and the lovely lady on my shoulder is Athena."
"Hoot Hoot," Athena puffed her chest as she got praised.
Seeing his Familiar acting like that, he only able to chuckle a little. Ryan then asked about the Lady's name with a smile.
"And what is your name, my lady?"
"Ahhh, My name is Silvana."
"Hmm, Then my Lady Silvana, I must go for now if the Fate let us, we will meet again."
"Hoot"
Ryan then gets up before walked toward the town with his companion, and he then asked Athena.
"Athena, how do you think about my social skill, not bad, right? Its already a long time I meet other people."
"Hoot"
"Oi, what do you mean by Meh?"
