Chapter 2 The Apocalypse (??? Dai Saigai)
Disclaimer: I own nothing , this is purely a fanfic for enjoyment. Cross-over from various games , books, anime, and movies. The familiar characters you see here belongs to their respected authors and owners.
Summoner
The summoner is a mage class which calls forth mystical beasts and spirits to fight in its place. In the world of Elder Tales there are over 100 different creatures that can be summoned, though to prevent the summoner from becoming an almighty, omnipotent class Aturava Inc. placed a limit on the number of creatures a summoner may have contracted. High level creatures may only be summoned after contracting it at a special location after completing its specific quests.
Due to the great variety of summon beasts, there is probably a summon beast to counter any specific situation. To balance this out the Summoner class has extremely low HP and defence in addition to their contract limit. Still, Summoners remain a popular choice among solo players.
Sample Skills
This is an excerpt of the skills the Summoner class can learn. The Summoner's most defining ability is definitely the Servant Summoning system and its rich variation. With over 100 types of Servants, one can enjoy building their own set, and it is even possible to have a unique set no one else can have. There is a rich variety but on the other hand there is a cost to Summon Contracts (this cost is not just money, but also time investment for quests), and there is also an upper limit to contract slots. There are many hurdles to overcome in order to build the ideal set. However, it would not be a stretch to say those hurdles are what makes the Summoner class exciting.
Servant Summon spells are not learned via leveling up but from completing quests to obtain contracts. Because of this, the total number of skills is fairly great, but there are also very rare ones among them. Also, the requirements listed for a Servant Summon spell must be fulfilled in order to use that skill.
With Harry's new book, Harry decided to explore. He heard a rumor from the village elder where he was currently at, that the orcs (think of one from world of warcraft) have caught a pretty lady hostage on its den. Upon hearing this, Harry felt more adventurous at his computer screen. He arrived at the orc village where there seems to be a war council going on. Harry saw the center of attraction was what looks to be a valkyrie. He quickly took the chance, and casted soul strike on the nearby orc. It dropped dead, and the whole orc saw Harry the intruder.
"Intruder!, Attack!, For the horde!."
Meanwhile Harry defeated 8 orcs, only 92 more to go. Harry fought, and evaded for thirty minutes, and there were only 25 orcs left. He finally ran out of mp. Harry took a look at his book, and sung a small song "It's The Great Big Book of Everything With everything inside See the world around us This book's the perfect guide With everything from A to zoo Just by flipping through." Harry was lost in his thoughts, and just swung his sharp book relieving stress and leaving a bloody battlefield.
Harry finally did it, with only 50 hp left, and he had no more potions, but he managed to succeed. He decided to free the valkyrie with white wings?, trully it was a sight to behold.
"Thank, you brave summoner, as thanks you may have a contract with me, and I will come to your aid whenever you need me. My thanks again, oh brave one." said the valkyrie as she flew away.

Success Summon Contract formed with Siren.
Combat Summon: Siren
-Movement Auxiliary Magic. A movement auxiliary spell that calls forth a beautiful winged wind maiden, Siren, who can increase the movement speed of 1 ally. The target's body is wrapped in swirling winds and their body feels lighter. If used on an enemy, a sudden wind blows them far away from the Summoner.
With flowing green hair, large bird-like wings, and dressed in a maiden armor, it looks as if the Siren's entire body flutters in the wind. There are many Summoners who wish to contract the Siren for that beautiful figure.
Harry was ecstatic. He formed a rare contract summon, from what he heard in beta, Harry only received 3 summon contract in the whole beta period. So he was very excited. He also decided to get his old summons back.
Harry did the quest "Pacifying the Water Spirit", in which he had to battle an enranged undine. Thanks to his Siren, Harry evaded most of the attacks, and countered with soul strike, and slamming his encyclopedia in undine's head. The spirit finally calmed down, and Harry made a contract with it. Harry also purchased a Mystical summon contract with Brownie, a helper summon for 5k gold.
Servant Summon: Undine
-Servant Summon Magic, Toggle-type. A Summon Servant spell that calls forth a Spirit with a body of clear water. The summoned Undine attacks using cold air from a nearby water source. Has very modest offensive power but has endurance in its own way. As a solo, the Undine is more suitable to act as a wall than the Salamander.
Due to its ease of use and cute appearance, it is very popular amongst Summoners. After the Apocalypse, the ability to generate water was very valuable. The Undine is not only useful in combat but also indispensable for living.
Mystic Summon: Brownie
-Mystic Summon. Calls forth a caring fairy that helps with item production tasks. Grants bonuses such as increased success rate, increased production speed, increased production rate, etc. After the Apocalypse, people had to do things such as cleaning. Brownie became a beloved friend of lazy Summoners. As proficiency level increases, Brownie's family grows.

New Skills learned
Elemental Ray
-Requirement: Spirit. An AOE magic attack. User must have a Spirit-type summon beast such as Salamander or Undine under their control. Fires a thick laser aimed at the targeted point. Its color depends on the attributes of the summon beast.
Can damage many enemies at once. Summon beasts fight and use magical attacks on their own accord but this type of attack is a command that must be given by the caster. Commanded actions have a certain time lag (in terms of regular magic, this would be casting time).
Elemental Blast
-Requirement: Spirit. A single-target magic attack used by a Spirit-type Servant during combat. A magic bullet fired at the enemy that varies depending on the Spirit's attributes, such as flame bullets or stream bullets. This skills is fundamentally used by the Spirit on its own accord but the Summoner can also deliberately command the Spirit to activate this skill. The power of this single-target attack can be increased with status effects depending on the type of Spirit. For example, when used by a Salamander the enemy will be inflicted by burns and suffer DoT, and when used by an Undine the enemy will be slowed due to the cold.
Elemental Bolt
-Requirement: Spirit. A magic attack automatically used by the Spirit at regular intervals. Fires magic arrows of different types depending on the spirit at the enemy (Salamander: Flame Arrow, Undine: Ice Arrow). Very modest damage, but as an automatic attack it does not require MP from the Summoner. It is possible for a solo Summoner to leave the battle to a Spirit and escape alone.
Soul Possession
-Requirement: Servant Summon. A spell that allows the summoner to possess a Servant Summon and directly control its body. Stats and skills become those of the Servant's. The Summoner's original body is controlled with simple commands, as if it were a regular Summon Servant. When this skill was first implemented, the idea of directly controlling a monster attracted a lot of attention. Between Adventurers and monsters, the former can do much more and due to cool down and casting time, players couldn't return to their original body immediately if it was in danger. Because of this, it never became anything more than a joke skill. After the Apocalypse, the range was expanded and has once again attracted attention.
Castling
-Requirement: Servant Summon, Special Skill. An emergency escape spell that allows the Summoner to immediately swap positions with a Summon Servant. Because Castling only requires a blink of the eye to activate, it is possible to use it to evade attacks right before they reach the Summoner. However, Summoners who use this skill in an absolute crisis must be prepared to sacrifice the Servant. It is useful in a combination with "Soul Possession", usually used to get past terrains that are difficult to traverse as a human.
After gaining his new skills, Harry decided to use a Chef subclasses because of his top quality cooking skills he had gotten from the "Dursley's", he shivered. Harry shopped for ingredients at the town, and he became engrossed in cooking that his level skyrocketed to level 30. Harry decided to pack up for a long journey so he bought plenty of potions, and explored some more.
~Time Skip 6 months later~
Harry was now a veteran gamer of level 60. After numerous patches, New summon release had been released, along with the level Cap of level 60.

Harry's New Summons
Servant Summon: Salamander
-Servant Summon Magic, Toggle-type. A Summon Servant spell that calls forth and enslaves a flame-clad Reptile-type Spirit. The Salamander engages the enemy in close-range combat, fighting with fiery fangs and claws, and is also capable of magical attacks such as fire breath. Salamander's ability to act as an attacker is standard. Contrary to its appearance, the Salamander is easy to use and many Summoners use it. However, due to weak endurance its ability to act as a wall is very poor. After the Apocalypse, its flames have been used for embers, light sources, heat sources for cooking, and many other things.
Mystic Summon: Clew Rat
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Mystic Summon. Calls forth a sacred beast, an omen of fortune, and receive its divine protection. It has no combat abilities at all, but for a certain duration after summoning, the Summoner gains a random buff("Nullify all critical hits", "All attacks become critical hits", "Nullify all status effects"). As proficiency level increases, the certainty increases slightly, but is still very low.
Has the appearance of a house rat with red eyes and a coat of pure white fur. On top of its loved abilities, it is also very popular as a mascot. It was originally fanart. When they launched the expansion pack, F.O.E. officially contracted and implemented it. Not just Summoners, but all Elder Tale fans in Japan love it.
Combat Summon: Sword Princess
-A Combat Summon spell that summons forth the Sword Princess, a sword maiden clad in armor, for a single moment to strike all enemies within her attack range. This spell has a high Damage-to-MP ratio, a wide attack range, and is very easy to use. Sword Princess has a very beautiful face and elegant sword style even as she delivers judgement to her foes. Early Elder Tale lacked moe factors and implemented skills to fix that, Sword Princess being one of them. There has been overwhelming support from the userbase. Sword Princess debuted as the poster girl on a banner ad. Sword Princess has different patterns (her sword, dress, armor, etc) depending on the user's race. As proficiency level increases, the Sword Maiden's gear, hairstyle, clothing become more gorgeous. At the most basic proficiency level, this spell summons forth a Sword Maiden with an extremely simple sword dressed in plain clothes but there are many fans who prefer her this way. These interesting people choose to never increase their proficiency level. This skill has been very well-received, along with "Combat Summon: Samurai Girl", "Combat Summon: Hammer Maiden", "Combat Summon: Whip Queen", "Combat Summon: Slinger Kunoichi", and other spells of the same family. Many skill families of were soon implemented one after another. While this has greatly increased the population of Summoners, there are hardcore players who dislike it, saying "Enough with the formula!". Also, the popular "Sword Maiden Summon Race-Changing Earring" (only outer appearance changes, abilities do not) debuted in a game magazine, where an item code was randomly included in its appendix. The Werewolf Earring was especially rare. Because of that, there are reports of those earrings going for 180,000 yen at Auction Houses.
After the Apocalypse, Summoners in love with Sword Princess have had serious discussions on the ultimate question: "How do you get her to wear clothes you like?".
It was around this time that Pokemon Developers, teamed up with Elder Tale Company, and created a summon that are available to to the summoner class. Harry anticipated this turn of events, and brought dozens of legendary pokemon. You can get them at a lottery Jackpot or you can buy them directly at ten times the price. Harry used his vast fortune to get the legendary bird pokemon set with Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Lugia, Ho-oh. It costed him 1,500 U.S dollars each legendary/Phantasmal Beast. Harry also bought the cute shiny Blissey's at 500 U.S dollars each, and he bought eight of them, He really was crazy for them. A summoner has a limit to how many summon contracts he can have, Harry now has 20 out of 20 filled out. He found out later due to his Blissey army bonus, that he gained 5 additional contranct slots. It was a secret skill he discovered. [20/25] is now Harry's contract slots.
New Skills learned:
Phantasmal Heal Healing Magic.
[Requirement: Phantasmal Beast.]
Orders a Phantasmal Beast under the Summoner's control to heal an ally's HP. After the Phantasmal Beast has completed its characteristic motion (Unicorn neighs, Carbuncle spins in place), the target is wrapped in a shiny light. Even though this skill cannot match the main healer it can greatly reduce their burden so it is a must-have. Depending on the weapon used, there can be an additional effect of short-term buffs.
Phantasmal Ride Movement Skill.
[Requirement: Phantasmal Beast.]
When a Phantasmal Beast such as Unicorn is summoned, this skill allows the user to ride on its back. In Elder Tale, there are flutes that can summon horses or other mount; this unique skill can act as a replacement. However, the Phantasmal Beast can only be used for half of its duration and low versatility. Even male Summoners can ride the Unicorn without a problem.
Three days later, the promotion between Pokemon Developers, and Elder Tale Company surprisingly came to halt. The players preferred the sword princess series for their cuteness, and majority of the summoner who played were male. There were also the decline in summoner nowadays for their high cost summon requirement, and maintenance to level them. Harry got lucky when he got the soul strike spell when he did, or else he would still be having difficulty leveling up.
1 month passed, and another patch came, this time it increased the level cap to level 90.
Harry leveled quietly at the background, and prefers to solo when leveling. He was ranked among the third in world summoner rank, because he proceeded to level alone, preferring anonymity because he expwrienced it first hand, what it can do to a person, and people who wanted to manipulate you.
It was this time he met a young samurai surrounded by a harem of girls. Harry felt a pang of jealousy at the man. The girls truly cared for him.
Harry found out that the man's name is Soujiro Seta, commonly referred to as Souji. A veteran Samurai, as well as a member of the Debauchery Tea Party.
From that moment moment on Harry stalked the teen. Ironically, this was how he met the Debauchery Party with Shiroe, an enchanter, Naotsugu, a guardian, Nyanta, a werecat swashbuckler.
At first the members of the Debauchery party found it funny, but do it a couple of times, and it gets annoying, especially if one Soujiro Seta is quite thick headed.
It finally went to a boiling point where Shiroe, and Naotsugu forcefully dragged and confronted Harry, and they introduced him to the debauchery party. When asked, Harry replied, "How does one keep a harem of girls in line?, I must find out that samurai's secret, even if I have to stalk him to do so." This earned him a couple of laughs from Shiroe, and Naotsugu, but it left them to ponder in Harry's words, "How does Soujiro Seta do it?." Shiroe and Naotsugu quickly helped Harry in his research, especially one perverted as Naotsugu.
Time quickly passed, and Harry's fun time with the debauchery party came to an abrupt end. Harry may not show it, but he had fun.
Harry was now level 90, and he has new equips, and a new summon.
Servant Summon:Unicorn
Servant Summon Magic, Toggle-type.
- A Servant Summon spell that calls forth and enslaves a Unicorn whose horn has the power of healing. Unicorn attacks by charging forth with its horn or stomping over foes with its hooves. When party members HP drops by a certain amount, Unicorn automatically casts healing magic. As proficiency level increases, the Unicorn can also cure status effects or even revive allies. Because of this the Summoner can act as a sub-Healer, but is not enough to be the main healer. When summoned, the Unicorn charges toward the enemy.
Legend has it that the Unicorn does not approach anyone but pure maidens. In Elder Tale after the Apocalypse, it seems the Unicorns are not that picky.

Harry kept his robe, it was very useful. Harry felt depressed with the whole incident, and turned to other games.
Elder Tales (also known as Elder Tale) is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game in the Log Horizon series. Created in America by the company Ataruva U.S., the game takes place in the fantastical, post-apocalyptic world of Theldesia. Developed on March 3, 1989, the game was released for beta-testing on May 3, 1998, eventually becoming the most popular online game in the world with a userbase of twenty million people.
Its twelfth expansion set, Homesteading the Noosphere (also known as Novasphere Pioneers), was released on May 3, 2018- a day known as the Catastrophe when hundreds of thousands of players disappeared from their computers and found themselves in the game world of Theldesia.
Novasphere Pioneers (??????????), the 12th expansion pack (?????) of the extremely popular MMORPG Elder Tale, was released at midnight one day in the year 2018. When it was released, it caused an event that trapped 700,000 players worldwide - including 30,000 from Japan - inside of the game.
The Novasphere Pioneers expansion pack was a large update that added new items, quests, zones, monsters, and battles to Elder Tale. It also increased the level cap beyond 90.
It was this new expansion pack that made Harry play Elder Tale again.
The Apocalypse (??? Dai Saigai) (also referred to as the Catastrophe, Revolution, May Incident, and Third World Fraction) refers to the event on May 3, 2018, that trapped all players who were logged into the popular MMORPG Elder Tale inside of the game. It was triggered by the release of the game's 12th expansion pack, Novasphere Pioneers, effectively trapping over 30,000 Japanese players and several hundred thousand other players worldwide.
The NPCs, the People of the Land, were also affected by this incident as they suddenly gained memories, personalities and backgrounds.
May 3, 2018, during the release of Novasphere Pioneers (??????????), the 12th expansion pack of the Elder Tale game. Harry Potter, became one of the victims of the Apocalypse (??? Dai Saigai).
Authors Note: Heres a long chapter, enjoy. Dates may not match up with the wiki on this, beta started on May 3, 1998, and the expansion pack release is on May 3, 2018. This fanfic skips the years of updates to make it fresh on the mind, I mean twenty years worth of updates?, Harry's way old by then.
