Meanwhile, in the bustling neon-lit city of Novapath, another figure felt the shift in the world’s magic. Greg, known as “The Summoner” in the gaming realm, sat at his desk, surrounded by screens displaying glowing interfaces and real-time alerts. His Quest Log chimed with the arrival of a World Event Notification:
World Event: The Eternal Rift has been Detected!
* Reward: Unique Summon (Random), +10,000 XP for all participants.
Greg’s heart raced with excitement. He’d spent years mastering the art of summoning, his skills finely honed to invoke powerful entities from the Summoning Realm. He quickly accessed his Summon Menu, where his available summons sparkled like a treasure trove.
Available Summons:
* Celestial Gryphon - (Level 80, HP: 1500, Damage: 250)
* Infernal Wraith - (Level 75, HP: 1200, Damage: 300)
* Gale Falcon - (Level 50, HP: 700, Damage: 150)
He selected the Celestial Gryphon, knowing its aerial advantage and high stats would serve him well in any confrontation. He summoned it, feeling a substantial drain on his mana reserves as the gryphon materialized in a flash of radiant light.

“Let’s go!” he commanded, feeling the rush of adrenaline as the gryphon spread its massive wings. As they ascended into the sky, Greg felt the surge of the city beneath him, its life force pulsing in time with his own.
Mana Bar: 85% (Draining due to Summon)
Once they broke through the clouds, Greg initiated a Transport to Rift command. The gryphon’s feathers shimmered with arcane energy, and in a blink, they were swept into a swirling vortex, transitioning from the skyline of Novapath to the ethereal landscape surrounding the Eternal Archive.
When they landed, he was greeted by the sight of Alister, who stood before the rift, a figure of raw power and authority. Greg’s Party Interface popped up, indicating they had formed a temporary alliance.
Party Interface:
* Alister (Level 99, HP: 3200)
* Greg (Level 75, HP: 1500)
They exchanged nods of recognition, both feeling the weight of the challenge ahead. Alister’s eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation. “We need to stabilize this rift before it expands further,” he said, pulling up his Quest Log.
