Richard Huang, by bravely sacrificing himself, is given a new chance at life. In a world filled with technology so advanced that it is indistinguishable from magic, and overrun by monsters from another dimension. Following the footsteps of his adopted father, he enrolls in Jing Tian Magic Academy to become a summoner.

Wait, what? Summoning is not viable? The current meta is all about fast, aggressive burn spells or lockdown and control strategies? Getting defeated by swift combat techniques before I can summon my giant monsters?

...sucks to be me, I guess.

Warning: contains a lot of parodies of other stories (most noticeably Battle Frenzy) and fourth-wall breaking. If you hate Deadpool, you'll probably hate this story too.

He twirled it to fend off Redfield's thrust, and unlike his blood spears, this weapon didn't disintegrate or boil away from the sheer heat of the red-haired mercenary's flames.

"There won't be any difference in the outcome," Redfield declared confidently as he swung his spear. Liu parried it, and despite his advanced age, he held his ground firmly against the younger man. While the two of them were locked in combat, a couple of poisoned throwing knives streaked through the air, silver tinted with purplish venom.

Anastasia had thrown them at Liu while he was currently distracted by her comrade.
