The reason for Ian's surprise wasn't something else.
One line of text at the bottom of the two stat descriptions.
It was because he just found out that the higher the proficiency of the ‘Spirit power', the stronger he would get.
‘Uh? This description wasn't there originally…'
In fact, the spirit magic and the summon magic were elements never had any stats to raise.
The only way to increase both stats was to clear a few cla.s.s-related quests that were listed on the summoner tower.
However, in the description window of the stats that he checked after a long time, there was a new way to increase the two stats.
‘Spirit power… proficiency increase?'
Ian couldn't help but feel ridiculous.
He didn't even know there was a concept called ‘Spirit spell'.
Of course, the ‘spirit combat power' itself was expressed in the word ‘spirit power', but there was no such concept in the gaming system.
‘What could it be? Will I be able to know what it is if I go through the quests of the Spirit dimension?'
All he could guess now was the information window had a change in the two stats, and it was after he had discovered the ‘spirit dimension'.
‘Spirit spell… I'll need to find a way to know about it first.'
Ian cleared his thoughts and stopped the hunting that he was constantly doing.
“Kids, stop the hunting! Gather up!”
The summons of Ian that were scattered all over the map, slaughtering the ‘contaminated spirits' returned to the point of their master.
“Master, what is it Bbook? It has been less than an hour since we have started hunting, Bbook.”
“Krrrg, something feels wrong. I never saw our master call us back from hunting this quick.”
Krrrk- Krrrku-!
The faces of all the summons of Ian were of disbelief.
Once Ian started to hunt, it would take at least half a day until he calls for a break.
Ian looked around at the anxious faces of his summons and opened his mouth,
“Kay, I'll give you missions from now on.”
“Bbubbook?”
“What mission, dad?”
Ian lifted his spear and pointed to the ‘reindeer forest' map.
“There is a dungeon called the Frost Cave in this map, see?”
Gulp.
The atmosphere was so quiet that the sound of gulp could be heard and Ian continued to speak,
“I'll give you 30 minutes starting now. And within 30 minutes find the entrance of the ‘Frost Cave' and mark coordinates.”
“…!”
“And to the friend who is the first to find the Frost Cave, I'll give 2 hours of free hunting.”
And the ‘free hunting' that Ian meant was, ‘hunting nonstop' without the involvement of any special quest, and this was a very great thing for the summons
Even if Ian logged out, the ‘free hunting' was a tremendous privilege for the summons.
“Two, two hours?”
“bbook! I will find it Bbook!”
“BBookbbook-ah, aren't you a slowpoke?”
Grrrk- Grrrrk-!
And with the end of the words from Ian, all the summons that were in front of him vanished in a second.
“This idiot, do I have to suffer because of you?”
“Ugh, I didn't know that the level of the Windy plains was so high!”
“Oh. Surely, it would have been right to start from the ‘Reindeer Forest'…”
Emerald and white baggy robe.
On top of a Green Dragon were twin sisters and were mumbling something while heading somewhere.
“By the way, do you know the coordinates, Vanessa?”
“Yeah! Of course. See, Unnie will show you the way…!”
“Show the way or see the way? Just keep your eyes on the road.”
“Ugh…!”
The conversation between the two sisters was rather noisy, but the dragon who heard of it opened its mouth,
“Don't worry, Sarah. The master can't be trusted, but you can place your trust in me.”
“Well, then… I guess I'll believe you.”
“What? Kortus, are you really going to be like this?!”
Apart from the friendly conversation, the movement speed of the dragon was very fast.
Because of that, within a while, the twin sisters could reach the Reindeer Forest which was their destination.
“Woah-!”
Arriving at the Reindeer forest entrance, the sisters descended from the back of their Dragon Kortus.
Till the current location, the land was a plain so he could fly very easily, but Kortus couldn't do that anymore.
The Reindeer Forest was a thick and dense forest. The ground couldn't even be seen from the sky, and they had to find the Frost Cave that was located somewhere in the Reindeer Forest.
“Unnie, I'll move this way, so Unnie I think that I'll move in the northwest.”
“Kay Vanessa. Then, lets find it and then share the coordinates.”
Arriving in the Reindeer forest, the two began to move in the opposite directions.
Unlike the average level of the monsters that appeared in the wind plain were of level 5 Transcendence, the spirits in the Reindeer forest were of transcendence level 3 at most, so moving separately wasn't a big deal for them.
But after a while, the two of them who moved came back together again.
Vanessa: Unnie! Unnie!
Seeing the message of Vanessa, Sarah's eyes widened.
‘What? Has she already found the Frost Cave?'
Only 3 minutes after the two of them had broken up, a message had come and she had no choice but to think otherwise.
But as the conversation continued, Sarah was even more surprised.
Sarah: What is it, Vanessa? Did you find it?
Vanesa: No, it isn't that.
Sarah: then why did you message?
Vanessa: In the Reindeer Forest, there seems to be someone else other than us.
Sarah: …?
Vanessa: the more you move to the east, the more the traces are of the extinguished spirits.
Sarah: don't move, wait there! I'll be there right away.
Vanessa: Understood, Unnie.
Sarah who turned of the 1:1 message window, soon began to cast spells while waving her wand.
Woong-!
Unlike his younger sister Vanessa, Sarah was a wizard cla.s.s, so she could move anywhere using the teleport magic if she had the coordinates.
Of course, it wasn't possible to use teleport to move into dungeons or other dimensions, but there were on the same map, so there was nothing wrong.
Swoong-!
Sarah's figure was surrounded with a white light and then quickly disappeared.
Tring-!
[You have entered the ‘Frost Cave'.]
[Due to the cold temperature of Frost Cave, the body temperature has gone down sharply.]
[‘Cold Resistance' was reduced by 10.]
[Increases the damage of the Ice attributes by 5%.]
In front of Ian's eyes have come the system messages, three to four lines of messages.
And Ian's eyes who saw the messages were s.h.i.+nning.
‘Well, this wasn't the first discovery either.'
Ian was the number one user of the Korean server.
And since LB hasn't revealed, though not precisely, Ian could be one of the top ranker in the top ranking list of every servers in the world.
However, on the servers other than the Korean, there would be two to three rankers on each server who could be compared with Ian.
Not only Korean servers, but the other countries too open the servers the same time, even the far countries who were late to the game could now close in on the gap.
And if the content of ‘Middle-Earth' had been shared with the other servers, then it wouldn't be so strange if several users already entered the spirit dimension.
Ian entered the dimension after three months of reaching the needed level of 400.
‘It wasn't like I was hunting leisurely. I don't know the guy who entered the spirit dimension so fast, but I need to do my best to catch up with him.'
Ian's hunting, of course, wasn't of a quality that could ever be described as ‘relaxed'.
It was only Ian who thought him like that.
Jack- Jajack-!
Chirpy sat on the shoulder of Ian, and Ian couldn't help himself but smile at it.
“You look good after coming back to your home.”
Jack- Jajajack-!
“Whether it is the mechanical civilization or not, let's a take step from here on now.”
Jack-!
Ian decided to move with Chirpy and began to move with a serious expression.
Before he could even take ten steps, a system message emerged in front of Ian.
Tring-!
[‘Friend of the Spirit I' quest has been completed.]
[Linked quest has been triggered]
-Friend of the Spirits II (Career quest)
In the past, the Reindeer forest had a forest keeper called as ‘Laokun'.
Laokun, who inherited some of the spirits power was a spirit that existed from the very beginning, and his mission was to defend the spirit dimension.
But the mechanical civilization invading the Spirit dimension had too much power.
Eventually, the spirits were defeated, and Laokun, who fought for the Reindeer forest till the end, used the last power that the G.o.d has left to defend the spirits he crossed paths with.
Laokun who used the unbearable power had extinguished, but thanks to his effort, the Reindeer forest was able to preserve its power of nature.
The ‘Frost Cave' is an artificial ice cave the was created by Laokun using the power of G.o.d.
At the bottom of the Frost Cave is the legacy of Laokun, the spirit Pan.
If you manage to pa.s.s all the tests that were placed by Pan, you might gain his legacy.
Pa.s.s the tests of Pan, and earn the legacy to help the spirit dimension from the suffering placed by the mechanical civilization.

Quest Condition:
Party of a Summoner User of level 400 or higher.

Acquire ‘Spirit spell' skill (If not a summoner cla.s.s, then you'll get a different reward).
Ian looked very interested as he read the contents of the quest,
‘Mechanical civilization… something vaguely familiar, it was a word that Elisha had used.'
The first NPC that informed Ian of the existence of the ‘Spirit' dimension.
Ian smiled while remembering the Spirit King Elisha.
It was because of the strong energy that he could feel from her.
‘If I get over all the spirit quests, maybe I can even win over the spirit kings too?'
Ian was thinking while reading a long quest message.
But in a while, his eyes widened while looking at the last part of the quest.
“Spirit spell!”
It was because he had recently discovered the existence of ‘spirit spell' in the stat description earlier.
‘A first new content?'
Ian started to move quick trying to align his thoughts.
The new content of the Summoner cla.s.s, it has been very long since such a thing had happened, and Ian wanted to complete it as fast as possible.
‘Maybe because it is the top floor? Why aren't there any monsters in here?'
Ian didn't slow his pace but just entered the dungeon very cautiously.
Fast movement and moving around radically were two entirely different concepts.
But then, there it was.
Drrrrk-!
The clear sound of footsteps in the dungeon.
The loud sound of the footsteps in the Frost Cave that was covered with snow all over.
“…!”
And naturally, Ian moved in the direction from which the sound was coming.
And Ian found something, there was a gush of wind that came in his direction.
“Ugh…!”
There was a familiar silhouette in the place where the sound had come from.
Chubby with short four legs.
With sh.e.l.ls on top.
A big round head that looked very heavy to hold.
As if the video got paused, Ian and his party froze at once.
