Unbound Summon
Stone dust still clings to the summoner’s cloak, fingers tight around the relic taken from the dungeon’s heart. One careless step—click. The floor drops. A goblin slams the summoner against cold cavern rock. Four other goblins crawl from the dark, blades chipped, eyes hungry. Desperation ignites, using the relic to cast a spell circle beneath the summoner. Mana tears through the cave. You answer. The air fractures as you step into existence. Power floods the cavern—vast, crushing, absolute. The summoner feels it instantly. S-Class. Impossible. A D-Rank cannot bind such a force. The goblins freeze. And the summoner realizes control was never part of this contract.
