Chapter 13: The Summoning of ??

Yuta sat alone in his chamber, the dim light from the panel casting eerie shadows across the room. His thoughts were consumed by the haunting image he had seen the day before, the figure whose very presence had sent a shiver down his spine. He knew he needed to confront this fear, to understand the depths of the darkness he had glimpsed.

Taking a deep breath, Yuta activated the panel once more. The familiar carousel of images began to spin, and he braced himself as it slowed to reveal the face that had terrified him. The carousel stopped, and there it was again, the same haunting visage.

"Johan Libert," Yuta whispered, feeling the weight of the name settle heavily in the room.

The image sharpened, revealing a young man with blonde hair and striking, cold eyes that seemed to pierce through the screen. Johan's expression was calm, almost serene, but there was an unmistakable malevolence lurking beneath the surface. His face was beautiful in a way that was almost inhuman, perfect yet unsettling.

Yuta's mind raced as he tried to recall everything he knew about Johan Libert. The stories he had heard, the legends that spoke of a boy who was the very embodiment of evil. Johan was not just a villain; he was a mastermind, a manipulator who could twist the minds of those around him with ease. He was capable of committing the most heinous acts without a flicker of remorse.

"Why did I feel such fear?" Yuta asked himself, his voice trembling. "Why does his presence terrify me so?"

As he stared at Johan's image, Yuta felt a deep sense of unease. Johan was a monster in human form, a being who reveled in chaos and destruction. He had the power to manipulate and control, to turn friend against friend, to sow discord and despair wherever he went.

"Johan Libert is pure evil," Yuta thought, the realization hitting him with the force of a tidal wave. "He is the embodiment of darkness."

But amidst his fear, Yuta also recognized Johan's potential. A mind like Johan's could be an invaluable asset, a weapon that could be wielded with precision and ruthlessness. If controlled properly, Johan could help him achieve his goals, to manipulate the world from the shadows as he had always intended.

Yuta knew he had to make a decision. He couldn't let fear paralyze him. He needed to understand the limits and safeguards of the system that had brought him this far. With a determined look, he summoned the system interface.

"System," Yuta said, his voice steady, "I need to know. Will any of the characters I summon harm me?"

The system's response was immediate, a cold, mechanical voice that echoed in the chamber. "No summoned character will harm the summoner. They are bound by the summoning contract to protect and serve the summoner's interests."

Relief washed over Yuta. He had the assurance he needed. Johan's evil would be directed outward, not at him. He could harness Johan's darkness to further his own plans, to manipulate the world as he saw fit.

"I'll do it," Yuta decided, his voice filled with resolve. "I will summon Johan Libert."

But he knew he couldn't summon Johan in his presence. The risk was too great, the potential for chaos too high. He needed to place Johan in an environment where his influence could grow, where he could operate in the shadows without immediate oversight.

Konoha. The village hidden in the leaves. A place where darkness and light coexisted, where powerful figures from across the ninja world gathered. It was the perfect place for Johan to begin his work.

With a deep breath, Yuta initiated the summoning sequence. The room filled with an ethereal light as the carousel spun once more, the image of Johan Libert growing brighter and more defined. Yuta focused on the coordinates, setting them to Konoha, ensuring that Johan would be placed directly in the heart of the village.

As the light intensified, Yuta felt a surge of power, a connection to the summoning process that left him breathless. The energy in the room crackled with intensity, and then, with a blinding flash, Johan Libert was gone, transported to Konoha.

Yuta exhaled, feeling the weight of his decision settle upon him. He had summoned a force of pure evil into the world, a being whose potential for destruction was unmatched. But he also knew that with great risk came great reward. Johan Libert was now part of his arsenal, a dark knight in his growing army.

Far away, in the heart of Konoha, Johan Libert opened his eyes. He found himself standing in a quiet alley, the bustling sounds of the village surrounding him. A smile played on his lips as he took in his new surroundings, his mind already calculating, planning, scheming.

Johan Libert was in Konoha, and the world would never be the same.

Back in his chamber, Yuta sat down, feeling a mixture of excitement and dread. The path he had chosen was fraught with danger, but it was also filled with potential. He would watch carefully, guide Johan's actions from afar, and use his influence to shape the world according to his vision.

The darkness had been unleashed, and Yuta was ready to wield it.

The chapter ended with Yuta's gaze fixed on the panel, the words of the system echoing in his mind. He had taken a significant step forward, and there was no turning back now. The game was in motion, and Yuta was determined to emerge victorious, no matter the cost.
