LN Volume 1

Volume 1 is the first volume of the Light Novel. It is written by Doufu Mayoi.

Synopsis
A young man dressed in black wakes up in a forest unfamiliar to him unable to remember who he was. A status screen pops up welcoming him to another world. A voice welcomes him to another world and gestures him to look at the status screen. He sees that his name is Kelvin Celsius and that he's a summoner. The voice suggests for him to go to a nearby town. As he walks, the menu notes that she is one of Kelvin's summons, Melfina the goddess. Kelvin freaks out wondering what he did.

Kelvin learns that he died in an accident and the god responsible asked Melfina to riencarnate him. This wasn't the first time this happened apparently. Kelvin apparently professed his love on the spot and Kelvin is embarassed. They arrive in Parth and Kelvin is asked to get identification papers at the entrance for a small sum of gold.

They arrive at the Adventurer's Guild and Kelvin takes his place in line. When it's his turn, an orange haired girl in pigtails serves him. He set his class as green mage on the paperwork because the summoner was rare and while beasttamer was similar, the summoner was more sought after and there was only one per nation. The receptionist, Ange, give Kelvin his guild ID and explains how he's an F rank now. But when he completes ten jobs in a row, he goes up a rank. At C rank and higher, exams will have to be taken. The four types of jobs were subjugation, escort, harvest and special. Among the starting jobs Kelvin choses to subjugate 3 slimes. He'd need to bring back the slime core as proof that he completed the quest. He gets a wooden rod and heads out.

He finds some slimes and learns how to make contracts from Melfina. He attacks a slime and it goes down to 3 hp. He then forms a contract with it and names it Clotho. Clotho is happy with the name and he's given a brief lesson on how monster summoning works. Clotho is ready to take on the request alongside Kelvin. Kelvin learns how to use green magic from Melfina as Clotho takes down two blue slimes. Kelvin is surprised at how strong Clotho is and learns that it's because he's a level S summoner. Afterwards Kelvin levels up and gets to pick a new skill from a large list.

After completing the request, Kelvin heads to the inn that Ange recommended, the Spirit's Song Inn. The owner, Claire, greets Kelvin and is happy to prepare food and a room. Kelvin is unhappy that there aren't any baths in the inn and vows to get a house with a tub. Kelvin eventually decides on which skill to pick up, Concealment and ranks it up to Rank D. Clotho also gets Absorption while Melfina mentions how some monsters can evolve. Kelvin heads down for dinner.

For the next week Kelvin accepts mostly E rank quest and eventually reaches rank D to the celebration of Ange. She was worried about Kelvin taking higher ranked jobs but asks if he was a court mage. Kelvin can't answer either but promises to run away if the challenge is too great. Ange is relieved but mentions Kelvin should invest in some better gear. Kelvin agrees as an adventurer requests that he take on a Black Spirit Knight. The adventurer is named Cashel and he's a rank D adventurer. The adventurers in the guild become moody and they begin whispering. Cashel decides to join Kelvin in taking down the Black Spirit Knight but Ange pleas for Kelvin to reconsider because of the possible strength of the beast. Kelvin checks Cashel's stats and his title gives him a red flag. Kelvin decides to take on the request but decides to compete against Cashel and his party. Cashel agrees and while Ange freaks out, Kelvin is ready to test his skills.

In the alley, Cashel talks with his party members for the last two years, Gimul and Raj, and how they'll crush Kelvin. They think about how they killed low rank adventurers to raise thier rank before heading to the castle. They head into the castle while not realizing that Gimul's attempt to analyze Kelvin would be thier downfall. Kelvin himself sells the wooden rod and gets a green staff. He also sells his traveler's clothes for a magic robe. He learns through Presence Sensing that Cashel's party didn't do anything suspicious in town. He also analyzes thier skills.

Kelvin takes out the room of zombies as Cashel's party arrives and waits in the room. They're surprised by Kelvin being there and quickly catch on that he set a trap for them. He provokes Raj into attacking him first only to trap him with Mud Bind. Kelvin uses Wind Strike to attack them. Raj tanks it while Gimul and Cashel dodge. Gimul begins running off so Kelvin stops him by summoning Clotho who had evolved into a Slime Gluttonia during a subjugation request. He learns about unique skills and the fact that Melphina reincarnated a hero who defeated a Slime Gluttonia that nearly took out Toraj.

Back in the present, Clotho knocks out Gimul. Raj breaks out of the pit and decides to take on Clotho while Cashel takes on Kelvin. Raj fights well but can't beat Clotho. Cashel reveals that he killed adventurers to get even more experience but can't get past Kelvin's earthen rampart. Kelvin takes him down with Vortex edge and takes his sword. Kelvin heads inside the chamber and faces the Black Spirit Knight, Gerard Fragarach. Kelvin decides to recruit the Black Spirit Knight instead of killing him. Gerard is surprised and laughs which surprises Kelvin. Gerard then has a conversation which further surprises Kelvin.

Eventually Gerard agrees to the contract if Kelvin fights him. Before they fight Gerard talks about his past, how his kingdom of Alcahl fell and how angry he was about it. After a tough fight, Kelvin accepts Gerard as a summon and gives a piece of his armor to the guild to complete the quest. He then has a meeting with the guildmaster, Leo, who learns that he's a summoner thanks to his appraising eye.

After a conversation, Leo decides to support Kelvin and promote him to rank B in exchange for staying in Parth. Kelvin decides to buy a servant from the slave trader. He finds an elf girl that catches his eye but she has the Curse of the Flame Dragon King on her. Kelvin decides to get the Sacred Bless spell needed for it's removal and buys her. Her name is revealed to be Efil and once Kelvin breaks ther curse, she's very grateful. After cleaning her up with magic, Kelvin takes her back to the inn. Claire gets her new clothes but Kelvin couldn't get a seperate room. He does explain to her how his party works while Efil learns that her curse was now a blessing.

After a month, Efil had grown accustomed to battle. She was an archer using fire magic in the Dark Purple Forest while also having points in sewing and cooking. Kelvin got the blacksmithing skill too and together they took down the Wicked Sagetree. Ange confirmed thier request while reminising about Efil's Class C test. Ange ends up asking Efil to go out the following day and Efil encourages Kelvin to join them. Kelvin agrees since Melfina went on a business trip.
