Omega Summoner

Due to their children's interest in the game, Adrian's parents finally decided that they should also try it. They actually have lots of free time now that their children are adults that take care of themselves. They would like to focus on new hobbies that they could maybe share with their grown children so that they would feel closer to them. One of the ways is for them to play Pandemonium as well.

At first, Adrian's parents told them that they did not want him to play the game even if it was for rehabilitation. They said that the brutal combat of the game would rot his brain or might make him prone to more violence. Such thinking was already outdated though as that is actually not the case if playing games is just a hobby. E-sports played a major role in making sure that the people would not look down on video games compared to when they were first created in the early 21st century.

In fact, Adrian's mother wanted to check if the claims of combat in the game is real. She did notice that her daughter is much better in reflex actions compared to before. She can also tell that the kinesthetic vision of her two children has somewhat increased. She wanted to verify these facts, but she also wants to fell what it is like to fight against monsters.

Adrian's father just wants to spend time with his wife. Although, he is actually curious about the economics of the game since his children did say that they have their own currency in the game. He was interested in how the game uses the ancient currency of gold, silver, and bronze in order to create an economy.

They installed the game pods in an extra room and thanked the installers when they have finished. Two futuristic game pods are now available in their house, and it is due to their curiosity. The two adults entered the game because they also had another agenda. An agenda that was born from the loose mouth of their children.

One night during dinner…

"Mom, I am actually curious, but do you have any adult friends?" Adrian asked.

"Of course, I have adult friends, but they are just busy with their lives which is why they do not visit." Maria, Adrian's mother, replied while stopping herself from choking on water.

"You know that is not a good way to ask a question like that son." Richard, Adrian's father, stated.

"What about you dad? Do you also have friends like real friends and not your business buddies that would backstab you should you suddenly become poor." Mina asked which almost made Richard choke on the food that he was eating.

"I also have friends, daughter. They are also busy and in other parts of the world, but we do have a group chat where we talk with each other." Richard replied but his response was weak at first.

"I see. We just thought that both of you do not have any friends and are worried. I found an article online that adults have a much harder time in making friends. Being friendless in the world is a bit lonely after all." Adrian stated out as he just wanted to have some conversation while having dinner.

"Well, they already said that they have friends so they should be safe. Plus, mom and dad are all over each other that they do not need to spend time with other adults." Mina added to the conversation which has started to make their parents break in cold sweat.

"We do not have any adult interaction. We are not setting a good example to our children!" The eyes of the two parents spoke to each other as they were now in a predicament.

"Our objective in this game is not to enjoy but make friends that are in the same age as us. They said that a lot of people our age is actually playing this game. This is all for our sake. We must succeed!" Maria stated as she looked Richard straight in the eye.

"Maybe you are getting a little bit heated up. Tone it down a little because having interaction is not that easy." Richard replied as his wife does have a tendency of getting riled up.

"You are right! No one wants to interact with a hyperactive woman. Anyways, did you read the guides that our children made for us? I actually found them adorable that they took the time and effort to think about our well being inside the game. What job class are you going to pick, honey?" Maria asked.

"I was thinking maybe I could be a warrior tank! I shall be the one that will absorb all the damage so that you could destroy our enemies!" Richard stated as he suddenly felt excited like a young boy.

"Honey… we both know that you easily flinch even if a bug is about to land on you. Are you sure your mind could take the sudden shift? I am just looking out for you but maybe you should become a mage or a shaman as you are more tactical compared to me. I would do the heavy lifting and become a warrior." Maria stated.

"But I wanted to be tough…" Richard stated.

"Well, it is your choice. The kids did say that you try out other job classes as they say since there is still a training period." Maria stated as she is not one to pressure her husband into doing something that he does not want.

"Do not worry! I will be a glorious shield master that will tank all of the damage! I used to play some RPG games back then, so I also know terms." Richard stated.

Both of them entered the game pods and started their new adventure. Unlike what Richard has promised himself, he did not pass the test to become a shield master because he is easily surprised. He opted for a job class that can deal damage and chose the Shaman job class even though he was not religious himself.
