3 Months ago…

At the Center of Shadow Continent

12:30 p.m.

Natasha’s POV

This area is our Safe Zone for an unknown reason so I simply sitting on my new throne and it’s made of the same materials that are used for my old throne which is the black crystals. I don’t need an umbrella or air-conditioner to keep me fresh in this hot weather because of the Zero Needs passive skill. If I’m a human, I would’ve been drenched in sweat.

I looked above and saw the door of the Chamber of Punishment. This reminds me of the first day in my gameplay while Crack is not an ordinary viewer. I assumed that he’s a Game Developer because he gave me some insane gifts and quests. It feels like I’m a Game Tester while being stuck in this game for so long.

After staring at that door, the blue gaming window popped up.

Notification

75% of the war vehicles have been successfully returned in your Pocket Dimension.

I canceled the ˹Gate of the Abyss˼ skill and my eyes are now scanning at my army as they standing at a position of at ease. They’re slightly relaxed, hands at the lower center of the back as the fingers are extended and the right hand is over the left fingers.

Then my eyes scanning at the blue window as my army is waiting for my orders.

Epaulets Version 2 – The Demi-Gods’ and Gods’ eyes cannot detect the users’ presence.

I rested my head’s weight to my hand and frowned. Our epaulets might look the same but they have a very important role. I understand why these things must be like this because I’m the only one who possessed the Shit Aura passive skill. The problem is the mortals such as humans and other races. They can surely see our true colors and of course, the god-like beings will take action once they heard the news.

System: Hello! You just ignored my announcement earlier. Shall I repeat it?

Yes.

System: Welcome to Shadow Continent! The largest continent in Octavia!

And the most useless.

System: Sadly… That’s true.

Through my ˹Observe˼ skill, I can tell that the entire continent was affected by a higher level of Shadowfication.

Notification

Shadowfication has been evolved into Shadowfication 2.0.

SHADOWFICATION 2.0 - It can transform any living or undead things into corrupted beings and uncorrupt the ancient corrupted things. The radius is 1 km.

Shadowfication 2.0?

I accidentally activated that skill through my thought and the black ground with a purple hue is instantly turned into fertile soil. My army was unfazed as if they already expecting this to happen or maybe they want to stay still so they didn’t get punished. Well, that’s my hunch.

You have the new Quests from your God!

Cleanse our Land

Remove the corruption of the Shadow Continent and conquer it. Don’t worry, there’s no time limit.

Rewards: ???

Find your Generals

My ancient generals are still alive. Please find them before it’s too late. Don’t worry, there’s no time limit.

Collected: 0/8

And now that bastard is ordering me to clean the mess and finding my generals.

I crossed my legs and sighed.

Are they not going to investigate this place? Like… Since when this shitty continent become useful?

Suddenly, I received a video call from Crack.

“Krak! Don’t worry. We are like viruses in their eyes but they can’t tell the difference since we’re so good at camouflage.” He said confidently.

Are you kidding me? They’re that not stupid! I expect them to be more intelligent and full of wisdom. There’s no way they let me feel relaxed in this continent if the portal of Chamber of Punishment is here.

He laughed, “Don’t you know that the Chamber of Punishment has a supernatural surveillance camera? A type of camera that can see and feel our presence.”

I stared at the holographic video call and tried to remember if that thing he mentioned exists but found nothing.

He continued, “You can’t see or feel it anyway. So let me describe it for yah. They look like a small floating eyeball. Those cameras are everywhere in Octavia.”

If those things exist, where are the enemies now? They should attack us immediately.

“Let’s just say… I’m a hacker of the security cameras. You know… I like spy and hacker stuff.”

So, you can trick their eyes? Then how about the mortals?

Crack scratched the back of his head, “Oh yeah… Now that’s the problem. But…” He trailed off, raising his right index finger and acted like he used his brainless head to think for a solution.

“Nah… Let’s talk about it later. The important thing is… This continent is safe and let’s talk about what I discovered.”

“I found a location of the newly created realm where gods celebrating a party right now. And do you know what theme of their party is?”

I only sighed and he answered his own question.

“It’s a Shadow War Party! Some of them are wearing black costumes that resemble your kind because they found it cool and awesome. While me… Dammit! I wanna join but it’s a big NO-NO!” He pouted, visibly jealous.

Whatever you say is true, then you should stay low because you’re a villain. Showing yourself in the middle of their party is a big mistake. I’m sure they’ll kill you on the spot.

He chuckled, “Krak! Of course I know my role!”

So, your family are chilling in there without noticing your presence?

“I didn’t physically spy on them. I just used my hacking skills!” He said proudly as if his hacking skills are beyond the limitations of the mortal hackers but in my eyes, he looks like a joke.

If you’re hacker, you can probably win the game without my help.

Crack stopped chuckling, “Krak! Playing with cheats is evil! But… Are you sure I can win the game with that forbidden technique?”

Now I get it.

You and your creations are thrown inside the Chamber of Punishment because you’re cheating?

You got banned!

Crack was silent in astonishment for a few moments and laughed in the end. Then I continued.

I’ll take your reaction as a YES.

I assume that the game developers in this world are the Gods including yourself but you and your siblings decided to play like normal players.

Unfortunately, you are fucking stupid at strategy and your siblings enjoyed defeating you many times so you decided to cheat.

Then your siblings whined pathetically and calling for your dad’s help… Boom!

Your dad decided to ban your player account and put you in prison.

They should’ve killed you if they had a chance but keeping you alive is their mistake.

I’m sure they will regret that overly stupid decision.

Crack clapped his hands and laughed so hard as if my assumptions are correct but maybe I’m wrong. Honestly, his cheats such as my titles with insane boosts, and inventory with unlimited resources are useful when I was inside the Chamber of Punishment because that place with debuff is keeping our growth impossible to improve which is extremely unfair. In addition, there are no monsters, resources, and dungeons to help us grow. If we are humans, we are goners.

“Krak! Can I change the topic? This is very important!” Crack interrupted my thoughts but he seemed in a hurry before I could permit him.

“I couldn’t spot my dad in that party and the bad news is… My siblings are not the only gods in there… There are more of them.”

I balled my hands into fists and my desire to finish this game intensifies.

How many?

Crack said as he spread his arms theatrically, “Hundreds! Krak! Krak! Kraaaaak!”

Why are you so happy about that shit?

“That’s the good news! You have more gods to slaughter! Krak! Krak! Krak!”

I facepalmed and sighed in dismay. My mission is getting more complicated than before.

“Krak! I thought gods can’t reproduce and make another god but it surprised me to watch them enjoying their drinks and food as if I didn’t exist. They should be always cautious because my siblings knew that I’m still kicking. Welp! You have to finish the first quest I gave yah. Bye!”

He left me hanging again. I still have a lot of questions such as that giant door. There might be a trigger to alarm those gods but I chose to ignore it and do my quest. Heck! He even forgot to tell me the location of the venue for the gods’ party.

I stood up as I activated my earbud and start my speech, “I have an announcement. Our god confirmed that this continent is safe. He gave us an order to conquer it. In short, this is our territory.”

“Today, we have to build our underground base while I’m uncorrupting the surface of this continent,” I said as I activated the ˹Gate of the Abyss˼ skill and some of my soldiers immediately went inside it to bring out the items, equipment, and materials for building the underground base.

After that, I started to uncorrupt the center until reaching the edge of the continent in a spiral way and noticed that it was 51,423 times bigger than the Chamber of Punishment. Just imagine, Chamber of Punishment is equal to 181 Earths but this isn’t enough to fit my people in there. If I remember correctly, we are like sardines inside a can. So, the estimated size in this continent is equal to 9,307,563 Earths which was 7 times bigger than the sun.

Is this what he called a piece of land? If Crack’s dad accidentally created this, why he can’t undo it and make a better version? Why do I have to do this on my own?

Every time I took a break in this operation, I looked up at the night sky and saw the 9 moons. There is gold, white, gray, green, blue, red, bronze, orange and purple. I think that each of those moons is represented as the ancient gods in this world which were Crack’s family because the purple moon is broken. Of course, they’re the first god-like beings that ever exist.

One of my astronomers said that those moons are the same size as Jupiter but they have different distances. The purple moon is the farthest but ¼ of it disappeared and large cracks are visible. There is no sign of battles in there so it was designed to look like that. Then the golden moon is abnormally close which makes it look bigger but its gravity is defying the law of science and the same thing happened to this planet and the other moons. In other words, this world must be extremely big but the gravity and time is the same as Earth.

In the morning, this world’s sun has a size of equal to 9.3 billion suns while its distance is far enough to make it looked the same as Earth’s sun. Another discovery is that Octavia is not revolving around the sun but the universe revolves around this world. Damn! My astronomers only used powerful telescopes without launching something into space. Knowing these facts blows me away.

I assume the ones enclosed were my fake information. Then I used ˹Selfie˼ to save the game just in case if those Gods will murder me.

On the edge of the continent, I can only see the ocean. The other things I saw are the very large and tall thorny vine-like black structures. My scout team didn’t report about these things but I let it slide because they might get rebooted. Then I used my skill through my thought:

˹Observe˼.

Corrupted Great Pillars

Description: The whole continent was surrounded by 8 pillars with a height of 1,500 kilometers. These things are always active and the walls are invisible. It helps to conceal the continent to avoid being discovered by the new generations of enemies. If the enemy tries to break in, it will vanish into thin air. Only your God knows if they’re alive or not.

Requirements: The creator must be alive.

Class: Divine

Uses: To conceal and protect the continent against enemies from mortals to Gods.

Creator: God of Darkness

System: In short, the enemies can’t get inside the Shadow Continent.

Then I’m confused about the revelation, “Huh? Since they can’t get inside, how are those pillars created after Crack and his creations got inside the Chamber of Punishment? Even if he escaped from that hell hole, did those Gods gave him a time to build those things?”

System: Error.

Even using my ˹Reminiscence˼ skill is useless. I can’t see the past of this continent so I wrote this in the journal to keep it as a clue.

The next thing I wanted to do is to release the orbital drones so I can see the whole map of Octavia but the Gods might see them. I tried to call Crack but it’s unattended. I asked the system about this but the answer is an error. I used the ˹Spoiler˼ skill and the answer is Game Over. Then I chose not to do that move. I made a theory that the Gods are living in the Exosphere and act like orbital drones.

Sighing in dismay as I shadow walked to the finished underground base, my soldiers saluted me as I passed by. Every floor looks like an underground metropolis with a villainous touch.

After a few hours of my observation in this area, the system wants me to visit the Eastern Beach. Then I immediately went there with no hesitation then I received a new notification.

There’s a War Event nearby!

Do you want to watch it? Don’t worry, it’s safe!

> Yes

> No

I arched my right eyebrow as I cautiously used ˹Spoiler˼ spell. The result is the blue capitalized word OK so I assumed that watching the war event is fine.

“Sure! Why not? I want to see some action.”

Are you sure?

> Yes

> No

“Just let me take a Selfie.” I said as I quickly took a selfie.

Congratulations!

You earned a New Title!

[THE TRUE SELFIER]

This is your 1 trillionth selfie. Additional 100 CHAR.

“That’s a ridiculous title,” I muttered as my index finger pressed the Yes option.

While I’m standing and facing at the east of Shadow Continent, the shiny yellow arrow appeared in the sky with the number on how far it was. This style is the same in most of the games especially when it comes to questing which was called Quest Marker.

“13,829 km… That’s far but I’m fast enough to catch up.”

But before I could shadow walk to that location, I chose 10,000 level 200 soldiers as my bodyguards.

Children - 20%

Crows - 11%

Passerby - 13%

Titans - 7%

Swifters - 10%

Oracles - 14%

Mists - 12%

Howlers - 13%

I used ˹Selfie˼ before I put them inside of my Pocket Dimension and shadow walked to the unknown location. After that, I am in the desert and there is a barrier in front of me.

System: Both parties have widespread barriers to avoid disturbance to the other nations.

“So that explains why there’s a barrier in front of me.”

Notification

13,000 Humans vs 13,000 Elves

Please use your Shadow Senses and enjoy.

I activated my shadow senses as I withdrew a glass of cold lemonade, table, and chair from my inventory but what I saw made me frown. The war is already started and the 100 feet monsters are made of sand.

“Damn! I wish I could go there and slay that thing.” I muttered and sit on the chair.

The clashing of the two armies might be so far away from me but I can see and smell them so clearly. While sipping my lemonade, I noticed that the human warriors are wearing full plate black armor. I want to use ˹Observe˼ but the red notification warned me.

Warning!

Using Observe skill is prohibited during War Event.

After reading the notification, Crack appeared right beside me as he crossed his arms.

“Krak! Peeking is not allowed? Screw that!”

“What the hell are you doing here, Crack?”

Crack withdrew his chair and sat without protection from the sunlight. I guess his dark skin is immune to a harsh weather.

He looked at me and answered my question, “Hacking.”

I watched him sitting in there and stared at the empty space. I expect him to use some gadgets to do some hacking stuff.

“Is that what you called hacking? You’re not doing anything.”

Crack replied as he stretched him limbs, “Alright! It’s done. You can legally use your ˹Observe˼ skill.”

I used my ˹Observe˼ skill at Crack but it’s still a purple ERROR. He sighed and crossed his legs.

“Yah know… You can just ask me about my god-like skills because your power is not strong enough to peek my stats.”

I rolled my eyes and watched the show. Using the ˹Observe˼ skill, I can tell that their weapons and armor were made of Corrupted Diamonds, Titanium, and Adamantium which was the same materials we used in my previous life.

“Some of my skills are already in your hand but I can’t share this one because it can cost your life.”

The flying soldiers with sniper rifles and machineguns are using some sort of ˹Fly˼ skill but I don’t need to copy it because I have a Fly Mode. Their bullets are interesting because they can get 25% heals when they hit their enemies. Killing enemies will restore their health to 50%.

“I’m a bit lucky to have you as my champion because you’re so good at decision-making.”

The soldiers with black cloaks are mages to support and heal the frontlines but the problem is they can’t heal those damagers in the sky. Every time they cast their spells with long-ass chants created some colorful magic circles. They looked so cool with those stylish effects but the problem is they need more focus and keep chanting their spells. If they get disturbed, it’ll cancel their spells and wasted their mana.

“Unlimited things? Nah! It’s actually a lie.”

Some of their frontlines are old fashioned because they’re still using swords and shields. The others are using minigun and grenade launchers powered by magic. These humans can’t be underestimated because I knew them so well.

“If you abused the Duplicate ability, I would’ve died from losing too much HP.”

At the very back, I saw some old fashioned cannons but it shoots red lasers. I mean, they’re not literal lasers. They are the ray of mana concentration to break the enemy’s barriers and cannons that supported their air forces then I received a notification.

Notification

Elven Mass Shielder has been slain.

The Elven barrier is no more.

I looked at their enemies and I widened my eyes in disbelief. They have long straight hair, fair white skin, fit bodies, six-footers, and their facial structure made them good-looking. The question is, why their ears are not pointy?

“Krak! Are you listening to me?”

I grunted, “My shadow senses couldn’t tell if you’re lying or not. If my duplicate ability is limited, why did you say that shit is unlimited? It’ll be a Game Over if you die.”

“Nah! 1 Earth is equal to -1 HP. At least you gave me a time to recover before you duplicate more things.” Crack explained as he shrugged his shoulders and laughed. This twerp is fucking insane. What if everything he said is true?

Anyway, the elves with longbows who are riding the giant eagles, spirits and other bird-like creatures are interesting. Those creatures can shoot some elemental magic projectiles. The arrows of the riders can gather elemental particles and shoot without hesitation. Their accuracy and precision are incredible which made me believe that they've grown up to become the best archers on the battlefield.

The sandy monsters are called Sand Golems. The elves who summoned those things are using spirit magic. The humans who are using water magic is effective because it can slow them down but those golems have an unlimited supply of sand. Reading books and watching fantasy movies then used them as references made me a bit familiar with these things.

Even I can’t see their status in this distance, I feel satisfied because watching them performing their different skills in the battle can be copied.

Notification

The information from your targets is stored in the Library.

New Languages have been learned!

Avarian Language

Ancient Elven Language

New Elven Language

System: You seem so happy.

“Yeah. At least these skills will help me in my plans.”

“Krak! Copying some petty tricks is easy! Those weaklings took some years of training to perfect their spells but you just simply copied them.”

“Hmm? Should I pity them? They are my enemies. Copying their skills is necessary because we only learned shadow magic. That’s how villains should be thinking, right?”

He clapped his hands proudly as if his champion is achieving something so big.

I continued as my eyes glared at my enemies who possessed with gold and green holographic windows appearing in front of their face, “I’m not the only player in this game. If you give me a chance to PK (Player Kill) those small fries, I think it could give me a bit of EXP.”

Crack laughed as he look up at the sky, “Krak! Krak! Kraaaaak! No worries! Those guys are still chilling in there and don’t give a shit about this event.”

“Really? I thought gods will never leave their believers like this.”

“Believe me. I already observed them 24/7. They never check the status of their believers as if they’re waiting for the worst shit ever before they could do some miracles.”

“So that’s the part of their strategy to strengthen their believers’ faith but.” I paused, narrowing my eyes in suspicion.

“I didn’t force you to have faith in me.” Crack muttered and we continued watching the show.

After an hour, the human frontlines couldn’t handle the formidable Golems even they have the healers in their backs.

“Humans will lose this war. They just wasted their weapons.” I commented in disappointment especially that a silver-haired human with a black cape will surely die from those sand golems–

–Then there’s sudden familiar energy coming from the man’s long sword. It’s dark and faint but I’m sure it’s a shadow. Then the purple window popped up in front of my face.

Good News!

Shadow Aura has been detected!

“Woah! We are so lucky.” Crack commented as my eyes could see how the man sliced the golems’ hardened hands in slow motion. In the normal person’s perspective, they will never see his movements as if he didn’t move from his position.

The next thing I saw was the sand golems broke down into piles of sand and he charged together with the other soldiers at the Elven Summoners but they managed to slow them down through quicksand and sandstorm before running away in the safe distance. Unfortunately, the man’s black long sword released an ominous aura that dispels the debuff spells and steals mana from his enemies.

I stood from my seat when my ˹Observe˼ skill couldn’t identify the man’s mysterious item, “What the hell is that thing?!”

“Yah need my help? Here’s the info!” Crack said as I received a message from MessageMeh.

You have a message from your God!

Fake Avarice’s Shadow Long Sword

Description: This forbidden sword is just a mere copy of the original.

Requirement: The user must have the blood of Avarice.

Class: Legendary

Uses (Normal Mode): The sword can dispel the magic spells and damage the spirits. Additional 200% to the user’s stats. The wave of aura with the radius of 10 Kilometer can stun the enemies, dispel the magic spells and steal mana up to 1 Billion.

Full Usage (Shadow Mode): The sword can dispel the magic spells and damage the spirits. Additional 200% to the user’s stats. The wave of aura with a radius of 1 Kilometer can dispel the magic spells, steal mana up to 10 Billion and souls of the enemies up to 500 Thousand. Another 10 Kilometer can steal mana up to 20 Billion, dispel the magic spells and corrupt some random items. Shooting a dark energy ball with a chain reaction will cost all the mana and souls that the user collected.

Creator: Norm (Deceased)

“That’s a pirated version of the original!” Crack explained as we watched the man continued slaughtering the stunned elves but I noticed that he didn’t possess a system just like my people.

Crack looked at me with his usual smile, “You are the only shadow with the system to assist you until the end of the game.”

“Why?”

“Sorry! I can’t answer it.”

I sighed and I’m sure the answer is the past that has been sealed by the puzzle genre.

Few minutes later…

War Event Ended

Winner: Avarian Army

The humans won the war because the silver haired man did all the hard work. I think this guy don’t need those useless humans. He can do this war alone.

“Walker, can I have a glass of your lemonade? I’m a bit thirsty.”

I gave him 1 liter of lemonade instead of 1 glass.

“Hey! This is too much!” He complained but I don’t give a damn as my eyes focused at the winner of the war event.

Suddenly, the human soldiers starting to shoot that man. Then some of them float above him as they pointed their rifles at his head. That scene made me remember my past.

Then there’s a sudden burst of dark aura and the man who wields that sword was covered with darkness which made him looks like an armored shadow. His face is no longer handsome as his nose, eyebrows and ears disappeared. His mouth cracked an abnormally big smile as his silver hair was replaced by black branches. He has pointy purple crystalized shoulder pads and his fingers are long with sharp claws. His body looks a bit slimmer than his human form as his black cape became shorter.

The soldiers who are inside the most concentrated aura instantly lost their souls. On the outside, they lost their mana and trying to run away.

The man shoots a small purple energy ball through the tip of his long sword and it explodes when it lands to its target, leaving a huge crater then there’s a chain reaction that made more explosions but some of them survived. I saw a small white spherical shaped barrier and the man sprinted before breaking it down.

Unfortunately, I can tell that this guy can’t control the power of the sword because he only focusing on the man with an item that can create an unlimited barrier.

I widened my eyes in disbelief. That golden item might be looked fragile but it’s insanely overpowered if the user is a hero.

“Krak! Your reaction screamed in WTF. Yeah! I feel yah. That item is stupidly broken! But that dude is not a hero so you can easily erase him.” Crack explained.

Then one of the survivors is shooting at the man’s back and he used the sword to block it but that was a mistake. It can pierce through his sword and armor which made all the buffs disappeared. Then the sword slowly dissipates and he’s now defenseless.

The arrow that pierced on his back is not ordinary.

The man with red hair sent the silver-haired man flying through his kick. Then the other three starting to kick him like a soccer ball without damaging his face. They seemed to enjoy torturing the dying man by kicking his manhood and forcing him to smell the holy water until that redhead felt bored. I guess they’re going to end his life.

Crack levitated and shrunk into a size of a bee as his chair disappeared into thin air, “Champ. I command you to eliminate those weak ass niggas.”

I’m out of lemonade and I started to put my things back in my inventory.

“You mean… those 4 humans?”

He nodded and he shrunk himself even smaller than an ant, “Don’t worry, about my size. Only YOU can see me like this.”

I activated the ˹Gate of the Abyss˼ to summon my bodyguards. I ordered them to transform themselves into purple eyed crows. Then I used ˹Selfie˼ before I let them pass through the barrier to distract those humans.

Warning!

Your bodyguards have been detected.

I waited for a few seconds and those humans didn’t hurt the crows. After that, I and Crack shadow walked towards my target but this is quite a bit slower than my normal travel.

“Let’s make a grand entrance! Krak! Krak! Krak!” Crack suggested as he floated beside me. I guess he’s the reason of my slow-travel-problem.

Warning!

Your Shadow Aura has been detected!

Now this is getting serious but Crack doesn’t seem to be worrying about this shit. We are still travelling in the void and another red window popped up.

Warning!

You have been detected!

The enemies may experience intense fear of death due to the extreme level gap.

“What?! How did they detected me? I’m still travelling.”

Crack gave me a piece of paper and a microphone, “Read and make it epic. Okay?”

I rolled my eyes and read the script silently. There are two dialogues written on the paper and I know that Crack put a little effort in writing this in Avarian language.

“Your war strategy is ALMOST the same that I saw in the movies.” This is just a first dialogue and I agree with him because I watched too much movies, anime and other entertaining stuff.

Then a purple window appeared.

You are the End Boss!

Boss Music has been activated during Boss Battle!

“I composed that music.” Crack said proudly as he snatched the microphone and script before he pushed me into the light, “Just say the last dialogue and act natural!”

When I stepped out of the darkness, the first thing I saw is the silver-haired man is lying prostrate on the sand. The crows are above us and some of them are merely standing on the sand or corpses.

And as for my targets, they are confused at first but their eyes lustfully scanned my body from head to toe then back to my face. Unfortunately for them, their fear is still active and they immediately stopped showing their thirst for lust. The color and smell of their fear is the same as urine which it irritates me. Then I gaze upon the silver-haired guy and he looked at me weakly in curiosity. To be honest, he’s handsome and hot without the black blood decorated on his face. I’m sure he’s a womanizer in his age.

“But killing your comrade after the battle is not new to me.” This is my last dialogue from the script and I agree with him once again because it happened to me a lot in my past life.

“Aaaahhhhh! Monster!” The blue-haired guy shrieked and ran away before the other three run as well with ˹Speed Enhancement˼ magic.

I didn’t do anything yet but by just seeing me made them scared so easily. What am I? A horror character?

How disappointing. I expected them to throw their holy water at my face at least they can damage me a little but they wasted that opportunity. Anyway, this is my excuse to get angry. Then the purple window popped up in front of my face.

Oh yes! They should fear me because I’m a monster.
