Powerful beings who Summon lesser Individuals than themselves inside their Rifts in search of minions to do their bidding, entertainment to satisfy their egos, and many other things that were beneath their stations. In exchange, the Summonee gets rewarded with Experience for climbing the Leveling ladder, so they would, in turn, gain a chance at reaching the coveted Summoner Rank, all in order to manifest their very own unique Rifts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For seven years Hannah had been plagued with a recurring Nightmare that would leave her scared till the day she died. For seven years she had suffered under the Monster infesting said Nightmare, yet an act of bullying enforced upon her by the prima-donna of the freshman's year forced her to face the Monster, or die trying it. Only things were not as they seemed when, in absolute desperation, Hannah discovered a secret lying hidden within her recurring Nightmare. A secret left for her, and only her, by her deceased father. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arc 1 - Awakening - Became very lore-dense since I went blind into the writing. Arc 2 - Novice - Still going very lore-dense. Trying to lessen it, but it is hard. PS; This story will feature theme elements inspired by other fiction since the setting is contemporary, aka, alternate Earth, but it will be set within an entirely original plot setting unique to the story. First Inspiration - Monster Taming/Pocket Monster - aka Dreamon - vocally it would be voiced as DRE - A - MON. PSS; The Cover picture was generated by an AI generator through my own actions and wordings, though my limited skills with such things could not convince the AI to make a teenager version of the MC. Oh well... It is what it is. I am just glad I got this much.
