"I knew you would. Now I'll provide you with a convenient system with all the information to help your growth along." Net states, moving a little to what I think is the center of this place. "Remember, this world you are being sent to is but a starting point."
"What does that mean?"
"You'll know soon enough. Now please step inside the magic circle over there please."
As he says that, a spot lights up, illuminating a large patterned circle on the floor.
"Would I ever be able to return to earth?" I ask as I step inside the circle as instructed.
"I'm afraid not," Net states, as he lifts his hand towards the circle which makes it shine brighter. "But do not fear, with all the power granted to you I doubt you'll get bored anytime soon."
I'm not really doing this for the power but this does sound like it's going to keep me busy. I'm a bit excited.
The magic circle shines even more brightly and suddenly a wall of light encircles me.
"Since you're only being transferred, you may encounter the Hero prematurely," Net adds, as my feet begin to leave the ground and I start floating. "Be careful."
"What do you mean?"
"The Hero of that world was just reincarnated there, which means he should still be a young kid judging from the time of his rebirth. He will hardly remember anything from his past life, so if you should encounter him before he has the chance to become the Hero, things may change in unexpected ways so, do be careful."
"Got it!"
"You may freely contact me through temples and shrines that have my symbol on them," Net says as he shows me a pendent possessing his mark.
"Okay cool," I respond. "I got it."
"Should you need anymore information, the portable tato system I will provide you with will be on standby. You've started this race rather late so you will need to come up with some extraordinary ideas to raise your impact level. The time limit is 8 years. Good luck and have a safe trip."
"Thanks, see you then."
"Oh you're very welcome," Net says with a wave as the magic circle flashes and I begin to float to where the beam of light reaches the stars. "I trust you won't disappoint. This should be very entertaining."
The last thing I see before completely disappearing at light speed was a mischievous grin spreading across Net's face as he muttered something.
This bastard.

T: "Oh wow! I thought she was full of shit but she actually did it!"
W: "Shut up Theo! She's not a tier 3 mage for nothing."
R: "Whoa! Hey look! Isn't that a human?!"
LM: "No way! Did Fiona summon a human?!"
P: "There's no way! I sense demonic energy from it."
R: "Whoa! so you're saying she summoned a humanoid familiar?"
T: "No way! That's even more unbelievable."
W: "Fiona, what is this?"
SM: "I don't know! I did the summoning magic circle right, and the process was exact..."
LM: "So Fiona summoned a high level demon!"
T: "Huh?!"
P: "That's right! Only demons of serious high class can possess human forms,"
R: "But I thought you needed to be up to tier 4 to even summon a demon, not to talk of a high level one?!"
LM: "I guess that's just the level of her skill! She doesn't even need to be tier 4 to summon a demon!"
SM: "Huh?! W-wait a sec!"
P: "So, are you going to keep it as a familiar?"
R: "That means we have a super tier familiar as our slave!"
LM: "That's awesome!"
SM: "Uh... Well of course! Since I summoned it, it has to do everything I tell it too since familiars can never disobey their master's orders. So now we have a high level demon on our team."
LM: "Hey, doesn't that make us the only team to have a high class demon summons in all of Halrio?!"
P: "We should probably put a summoner's collar on it just in case."
L: "Oh! That's true. I wonder what its level is?"
R: "It might even be higher than level 50!"
SM: "Okay, the collar with my essence is done."
R: "Now he's completely ours. You're amazing Fiona!"
T: "It's just a stupid familiar. The demi-human I caught was way better."
LM: "You're just jealous Theo!"
"Shut up..." I mumble, in a bit of a daze.
T: "Hm?... Did you hear that?"
P: "Hear what?"
T: "I think it just said something."
LM: "Huh? As if. Everyone knows familiars can't talk dumbass!
(The group snickers)
R: "Is your petty envy getting to you?"
"I said shut up!" I snap, trying to recollect my thoughts. "I can't think with all the noise you're making!"
LM: "What the...?!"
R: "It did talk!"
LM: "That's so cool! Not only is our summons high leveled, but it can also talk!"
SM: "Hey! So you can talk? Then you should understand then. I'm you're master, so whether or not you want to, you will have to obey me. 'Submit to my will'
She cast a spell for the submission of familiars. Too bad it has absolutely no effect on me.
SM: "What?! It didn't work!"
LM: "Really? Maybe it's because it has a really high level.
T: "Oi! We'll just have to spell it out then. You belong to us understand?"
What is he saying? I don't answer him as I remain lost in thought.
T: "Hey are you ignoring me?"
This bastard grabs my hair as I try to piece together what has happened in the last hour or so. This just brings back unwanted memories and trauma, unrelated to the things I'm trying to recall. I'm a bit pissed off now.
I snap out of my daze and rip his hand off his shoulder. Unfortunately now it seems I have blood all over me, and the unwanted noise has just gotten louder with his screams.
"I'm pretty sure I requested for silence."
