Item Acquired
The Book Of Shadow's
Congratulations! You have learned Shadow magic
Accept Shadow Magic? Y/N
You have learned Shadow Magic!
It was safe to assume that Samuel in that point of time was the happiest human being on the planet. Without hesitation Samuel opened the mysterious black book and had a look at its first page when a female like voice started speaking out of the book.
Hello Samuel you're probably wondering how this book got hear and well I purposely summoned the book to you. You may be wondering why I summoned this book to you and well it was your desire and will to control the shadows that lead to my decision.
Two more thing's one only you can see this book and no one else since your going to be the first person in this universe to use shadow magic and two by accepting this book a few new thing's will appear that you will notice.
One I'm giving you a levelling up system just like those games back in your world with stats which you can level up our strength, agility, sense, reaction speed, reaction time, mana capacity, intellect, perception, health, and shadow's fortune. But shadows fortune is currently locked until you reach level 250 cause of how strong it is.
Their is also a shop like a game sort of shop and a black page will appear in front of you and from there you can buy things like weapons, gear, abilities, points to your stats, rage corruption manager, magic stones with a type of magic, enhancing of your emotions to gain extra skills strength etc. Finally as you progress and continue to grow more pages of book will be filled with more powerful abilities and techniques which will enhance your skills even further that's all goodbye.

After that long explanation Sam wanted to see if what the female voice said was true. "Let's see if I turn the page it should show me what ability I have right?" Questioned sam. "Interesting lets see what ability I have" said sam. It says here that you can use the points you get from levelling up to level up your abilities which is cool. (Check spoiler to see Sam's current abilities)
Known abilities
Shadow's sword(10 mana to make) : conjure the shadows into a sword to deal shadowy damage to your opponents when hit. Consumption 1 mana per second.
Shadow stealth: sneak around in the shadows to hide your presence from being know. Consumption 2 mana per second.
Shadow ball:.Use the surrounding shadows to conjure a shadow ball and depending on how much mana you put into the ball the bigger and more powerful it will get. Consumption per use depends on the user.
Interesting but it's bit disappointing if I'm being honest only 3 abilities but I guess that's what I get for being level one. Let's check my stats. "Wait now do I check my stats?" Said Sam extremely loudly. So Sam flicked through the book to try and find a way to see his stats. It probably took Sam about a minute before he found the right page. "It says hear say status open out loud" said Sam.
When Sam finished his sentence a game like status window appeared in front of him which blew away Sam's expectations.(Check spoiler to see Sam's current stats)

I guess my stats are decent for level 1 but I wonder what this rage Manager/consumer emotion enhance and shadows fortune are well I guess I'll find out when I'm older I guess since I am 8 months old. I'll check the shop out another time since that isn't important right now.
The door too Sam's room slowly creak open.
"Sam why are you still up" Claire said tiredly. Sam shrugged his shoulder.
" Don't tell me you some up cause you heard so strange noises coming from my room" said Claire.
" I was just thinking off thing's and What do you mean by weird noises mum " Sam was acting like he didn't know What was happening but he had a clear visual in his mind of his own mum and dad going at it.
But seriously tho why is she telling me Don't tell me they wanted me to know that they did the deed in the bed. But Claire is asking me did you hear it in the first place. Sam's facial expressions shown a hint of what do you mean mum and a few moments later Sam fell asleep on the cold but comfortable floor for a second time.
