We are now inside of my inventory and the shadows automatically teleported into the different copies of Earth year 2030. Each planet contained the last models of service robots and they are originally few of them but thanks to my duplicate ability, I don’t have to worry if they’re getting rusty. The reason why those things are present in each planet is because they’re programmed and designed to assist their masters.
And as for myself, I’m in a different copy of Earth year 2030 while the original is just a reserve just in case if my army accidentally destroyed their home planet. I am now wearing some gym clothes and combed my hair to pull it up into a bun. Then I created the new customized quests and no matter how many years would take, I’m sure we’ll succeed to accomplish it before the Babysitting countdown ends.

Sorry!
You cannot create more than two quests. Please finish your pending quests before creating new quests.
So I can only create 2 quests at a time.
The Create Quest Command is impressive because it generates quest title, description and rewards full of surprises in just one sentence.
“But the titles of these quests are racist.”
System: Do you remember your speech earlier? You are a racist too.
System’s opinion feels like I was hit by a meteor, “I wish I could beat the shit out of you, System.”
System: XD
System: Don’t worry. You can hit me someday.
I arched my right eyebrow, “Uhh… Okay.”
Shadows’ POV
Before Entering the Portals
Seeing those portals again is nostalgic. We remember how all of us used those things as our advantage during the thousand years of war but today is different. Our queen is the only one who can do that. We are wondering what’s inside her Pocket Dimension. It might be bigger than ours.
“From now on, call me General Shadowwalker.” She said and we widened our eyes.
It’s the first time hearing her name but we know what General means. It’s an army officer with a very high rank which we shadows are her soldiers. Shadowwalker might be her surname.
“Group yourselves into 10 billion. Make sure that each group consists of 20% Children, 11% Crows, 13% Passerby, 7% Titans, 10% Swifters, 14% Oracles, 12% Mists, and 13% Howlers.”
Then we obediently followed her orders but some of us are not good at counting so the Oracles will do that math problem. After that, we walked to the nearest portals.
“Don’t be surprised if you meet something in there. They won’t hurt you.” She said as we entered the portals.
The next thing we saw was unexpected. We can tell that there are so many unused mana particles in this strange world. Some of us can feel the bad and good spirits roaming freely. The animals that we saw from our General’s drawings are real but they’re not magical such as the goats we found in the grasslands. The horns of the goats from Octavia are glowing in different colors but these goats are normal.
When we continued walking, we discovered the strange tall buildings. The more we observe this world, the more we saw the images and traces of the humans. The Oracles used their skill to see the past and they found it interesting but the future has been blocked by some unknown force.
Suddenly, the strange humanoid iron golems without being powered by magic are approaching us and said simultaneously, “Hello master. I’m glad you’re home.”
Home… It doesn’t feel like it. We are the shadows while disguising as humans. Calling us a master is a bit strange.
“Please wear your clothes. You might get sick without this.” They said and withdrew some clothing with different colors inside of their stomach then each of them approached each of us.
Us? Getting sick? Laughable! Those iron golems think we’re humans.
We don’t feel any hostility from these things but after receiving the clothes, they assisted us on how to wear them. After that, their blue eyes glowed and the 3D Holographic image of our General appeared.
“Greetings my aspiring soldiers. As you can see, the planet you are in right now is called Earth. I know some of you are wondering why you have to be grouped into 10 billion. It was because that planet is very small which was created by our God. Just like I said before, I can duplicate things infinitely that already exist in my Pocket Dimension. Our God gave us a lot of blessings.”
Our God is capable of creating a small world with full of strange useful things and he gave our general a blessing to duplicate things infinitely inside of her pocket dimension which made our jaw dropped on the ground.
“Let’s get this straight… Your first mission is to learn the basic daily activities. Those robots will assist you in how to live like humans.”
So those iron golems are robots but why do we have to live like humans?
“Don’t whine like a little bitch if you hate the first mission. It’s part of your training. All of you must know how to disguise as humans. But why all of us must do this thing? It’s because once we open the exit door of the Chamber of Punishment, that scenario is the same as jailbreak. In my theory, there should be at least countless strong guardians and one warden who are guarding the exit door.”
Jailbreak… Warden… Those words are new.
“If we beat or stealthily past them and look for a place to build an underground base, with our talent to disguise as humans, we can spy the nearby nation and gain information about Octavia. I must know our enemies first before the war begins because all of you never share everything about your past.” She said in dismay because of our incapability to tell her about our history.
“When you master it, you will proceed to the second mission. Find your passion… I know that all of you are born to become soldiers but learning your true passion will help to develop your SURVIVAL…”
That’s sounds promising. Maybe that mission will make us all tougher if we face our enemies again.
“Just imagine the humans’ or other races’ perspective… For them… It’s easy to die than to live. I may not know the other races’ lifestyle but I just assume that LIVING is not easy for them. Unlike us… Shadows… We only worried about mana particles. Food, water and any necessities… We don’t need them but we have to do it for the sake of our GROWTH.”
Another promising plan.
We nodded, feeling content of her plans but she spoke again.
“To tell you the truth, my first goal is to escape the Chamber of Punishment but we are too weak and I made a countdown. One year before my 1 millionth anniversary in the Chamber of Punishment is our perfect time to escape. I may not know how highly advanced our enemies are but help yourselves to advance the technologies you have right now. That will be your third mission but you have to balance the technology and nature because I won’t let you spoil my duplicate ability. You have to learn how not to waste the resources.”
“And as for myself… I’ll watch you 24/7 while doing my own business because I don’t want you to slack off. Every year, I’ll do the Surprise Visit and see the results up close. So, don’t disappoint me.”
Of course, we won’t let her down.
1 Week later…
Unfortunately, our first week is a mess. We accidentally broke things because of our uncontrollable strength. The robots did their best to repair them. Unlike the Oracles, they knew how to control their strength in just first try while holding the fork and spoon.
Honestly, human daily activities are hard to learn. We can’t do anything at night because the robots always said that it’s our time to sleep.
Shadows don’t need sleep, stupid robots!
We just chose to keep our mouth shut because they might get upset and tell our general about this issue. So we pretend to be asleep until 5 in the morning. Then we have to run 2 to 21 kilometers every day without hitting the obstacles because humans are not ghosts. We even adjusting our speed because humans aren’t too fast or too slow. The same thing happened when it comes to swimming, weight lifting, etc. which made us start to think that everything we did is all about ADJUSTMENT.
After the exercise thing, the robots taught us how to cook but we keep making a mess. We sometimes feel envious because the Oracles have no problem with that and easily learned them.
Honestly, eating delicious human food feels nostalgic as we remembered our last peaceful day before the war. That day is our God’s birthday and he loves food but we don’t know what kind of food. So we simply gathering edible things that were usually eaten by the goats such as green grass from the Nature Continent. We even tested them by ourselves if it truly tastes delicious or not. Then he happily accepted the food we gathered and ate them all.
After eating our food, the robots smacked the back of our head because they found out that we are using the green grass as our secret ingredient.
“Eating grass is bad for your health!” They exclaimed.
Of course, humans can’t eat grass.
The robots paused and pondered for a moment then said, “From my observations, your toilet seems unused.”
Oh no! Humans always using toilets to pee or poop but we can’t do those things!
We tried our best to calm our nonexistent nerves and lied to them because those robots’ lie detection skill is not perfect. They can only detect lie if our face, fake heartbeat, eyes and movements are not calm.
The hygiene part is fine but the Passerby are too unlucky for that because they kept their things fell in the toilet such as toothbrushes, soaps, towels, forks, spoons, remotes, unopened cereal boxes, and cellphones. When it comes to washing the plates, they keep breaking them even it was made of cola, plastic or metal. So the robots recommended using paper plates. Their clean hands can be used as an alternative for fork and spoon.
5 months later, we finally mastered the adjustment thing except for the Oracles because it only took them 3 weeks so they proceeded to the next mission first. Finding our passion is easy because we know what we wanted to be.
Children love to create and play toys. Creating their homemade toys such as guns, knives and swords are learned from MeTube. Their inspiration is from reading comics or manga, watching TV for kids and playing videogames. Unfortunately, the robots will confiscate the dangerous things they created because kids are not allowed to play with weapons.
The Crows genuinely love to ride vehicles. Riding a bicycle is their first step but driving helicopters, jet planes, submarines, warships, and spaceships are their dreams.
The Passerbys are still unlucky and they chose to live underground while doing their artistic things but some of them are more on programming things.
The Titans are strong and durable but soft from the inside. Their laziness became dormant when it comes to love food, pets and farming.
Swifters are agile and ninja wannabes so they chose to practice martial arts.
The Mists are eavesdroppers and gossipers. They are talented as well when it comes to music and arts.
The Howlers chose to live in the mountains and forests. With their presence in those places, the wildlife is safe. They plant samplings to the deforested area. Some of them can be the helping hands of Titans.
The Oracles are smart and they chose to be well-rounded. They can support other shadows to maintain the balance. Research is their main thing and from their observation, this world’s so-called technology is not using magic. With the use of science and magic, the new inventions and advancements might be possible even when there’s no guarantee that they’ll succeed.

Natasha’s POV
The blue windows are all over my face which means I monitored my people’s activities while I tried to gain EXP or stat points. Normal exercises won’t give me stat points anymore and a rough training which was the nonhuman training will be the new requirement to improve ourselves to become stronger. Such as lifting or balancing the boulders to increase our attack, defense and strength, swimming or running 100 km as fast as we could to increase our speed and constitution, and dodging bullets or lasers to increase our dexterity. For the increasing of critical stats, shooting the moving objects by using any weapons depending of our targets’ distance, obstacles and speed will be very effective.
Congratulations!
You received a new Title!
[WORKAHOLIC]
Working 24/7 is insane. You earned mad respect! Additional 1,000 Loyalty.
It’s been 5 months since my people living in those worlds but the progress is quite unexpected. Some of them learned to tame animals, and growing crops. Twenty-five percent of the shadows found their jobs. Most of them are Oracles because of their INT.
“Being the one who manually set their stat points is giving me nice results,” I proudly muttered as my eyes staring at the blue gaming windows.
System: Since you and your people living in this place for so long, gaining XP is nearly impossible even killing animals is not enough.
“We may not gain XP but our stats are growing day by day. Isn’t fair for our enemies once we escape?”
System: Your game difficulty already answered your question.
The game difficulty cannot be underestimated so I better read the books that I found from the bookshops during my free time. The books I read recently are about reincarnations, rebirth and the so-called Isekai. I found this shit intriguing because it might be my good reference for my enemies out there in Octavia. Good thing that Elmer gave me the advice to read something NICE at least it helps a little.
Every time I read these books, what I found the similarities of my situation are after the main character died in so many ways will get transported to another world and gained overpowered abilities but I’m not a normal Japanese person. My blood was mixed and there’s no percentage of me having Japanese genes.
And as for the gods, some of them are useless or overpowered. These stories made me think that the Gods from Octavia have the ability to strip my titles and erase my existence so easily. Well, that shit sounds unfair because of the game difficulty I chose. If they have those cheat-like abilities, I can’t rely on my titles but to rely on my own strength and soldiers.
“Whatever! This small problem gives me a headache.”
Another thing I found was most of the worlds are medieval and their technologies run by magic. Some of them are advanced such as my fucked up previous world. I was hoping that my enemies can’t be this advance.
Sometimes, I played video games that almost similar to my situation which is the RPG. Some commands or game mechanics are quite similar to mine but there are two that never exist to any of these games. The Create Quest and Pocket Dimension with the power of duplicating items infinitely. Maybe the game developers can’t reach that high level of Data and Artificial Intelligence or laziness made them not to put those unique features in their games.
Either way, I’m glad that my people worked so hard even the progress is very slow. Every year, my surprise visit made them all prepared at all times because they don’t want to disappoint me or maybe they’re afraid that I might kick their ass.

Then a holographic video call appeared.
“Krak! Are you getting bored from grinding 24/7 while watching them?” He asked with his usual smile.
“It’s been a while, Crack. Are you not feeling entertained by my performance?” I asked him back.
“Yeah. I noticed that you and your people’s stats hardly gaining some points. So I have an idea… I’ll let you rest for a bit and when you wake up–”
–Then I suddenly sunk into the darkness and I saw a naked boy who’s standing right in front of me with his teary glowing purple eyes. He has black spiky hair, pale skin and his hands are covered with darkness. We are both standing in the ruins of New York City. I can’t believe I meet Emmanuel once more as if I travelled back in time.
System: Please, be calm. You are dreaming.
“How can I dream if I’m always awake?”
System: You are not awake this time.
“I’m actually sleeping right now?” I asked and looked behind but I saw another person who’s standing behind a black motorcycle.
A teenage girl who is wearing a full black anti-shadow armor. She looks intimidating with just her presence and the boy who was fused by the strongest shadow that ever existed shivered in fear.
System: That’s you.
“Of course, I know that person is me! What the hell is going on? Why am I seeing this?”
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
But then the boy spoke, “A-Are you Natasha Walker?”
The other me sighed, “Are you going to run away again because I’m a famous slayer of your kind?”
She continued as she withdrew her riffle, “Just surrender or I’ll make a hole in your head.”
I remember this scene. This is how I met Emmanuel for the first time. The gun she’s holding is an evolved version of a Teleportation Gun which was called Shadow Walker Slayer or S.W.S. The teleportation gun can simply send a shadow or shadow walker inside the Gate of the Abyss while the S.W.S. can kill them like a normal human being but the shadows cannot be affected by it.
System: You didn’t show mercy even if it was a child. You are perfectly fit to become a villain.
I smiled, “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
System: But it was the part of your strategy. Killing all your enemies is a key of your success. Leaving one survivor is just similar to a bacteria. They will multiply and attack you once again.
I sighed, slightly irritated, “Could you please, shut up? I’m busy watching this scene.”
The system didn’t bother me and Emmanuel spoke as he sobbed, “Whatever happened in my home… It… It wasn’t me… The monster did it…”
“And the monster who killed millions of people just a few hours ago is inside you.” The other me said as she aimed her rifle at him.
Emmanuel knelt on the ground and said, “I surrender.”
The other me tilted her head in disbelief, “Huh? Come again?”
Of course, Emmanuel is the first shadow walker that surrendered to me.
“I said… I surrender.” Emmanuel said as he wiped his snot and tears through the back of his hands.
“No way… You’re lying.” She replied in disbelief and Emmanuel whined pathetically.
“Waaaaaah! Just give me some clothes already! Running naked for hours is embarrassing! And now, a pretty girl like you caught me in this state.”
“Huh? I’m pretty?” She was stunned for a moment and walked closer to him before smacking the back of his head.
Of course, a kid like him made me flattered for the first time.
“Ah! Why did you hit me! It hurts!” Emmanuel complained as he rubbed the aching part of his head.
She silently put the black choker in his neck that were usually used for the shadow walkers. The chain was attached by his choker and she starts pulling him like an animal.
“You can’t do this to me! I’m not going to run away!” Emmanuel complained and suddenly, darkness took over my sight before I was sent to another scene.
Snow is everywhere, and Emmanuel is holding a black corrupted rose. Then I was there standing beside him. This scene is the first time we met Crack but he wasn’t there anymore which means he ran away while Nar*to running. Maybe Crack imitated the famous anime with ninja bullshit.
“Dammit! Why’s my helmet didn’t record a video? Is it broken? Jammed? I should’ve kill that rebel.” The other me mumbled.
“But he’s not a shadow walker. He’s an abyssal polar bear.” Emmanuel muttered but she heard him very clearly.
“So you’re saying that I’m blind?” She said as she balled her hands into fists.
“It’s my first time to see a talking corrupted animal. It’s so intelligent with friendly aura.” Emmanuel changed the topic which made the other me sighed in exasperation.
Emmanuel smiled and gave the rose to her, “Don’t worry, I’ll find him for you.”
She held the rose and said, “No. Let’s find him together when you turn 25. I want you to awaken your true power. That man seems powerful and has a lot of battle experience.”
Emmanuel pondered for a moment and exclaimed as he raised his right index finger, “Oh! Oh! I remember! I promised you to never leave by your side while helping you conquering the whole world!”
The other me punched the top of his head, “Lower your voice!”
“S-Sorry…” Emmanuel whispered as he rubbed the aching part of his head.
Seeing this scene is nostalgic. Emmanuel is very loyal to me and he’s my right hand. That bloody monster wasn’t by my side when I confronted the traitor and I ended up dead in a weird way. My soul was simply separated from my body and that’s how I died by just staring at his eyes. It’s so frustrating to think about it.
System: Your sleep time is over.
Darkness covered my sight once again, when I opened my eyes the first notification made me angry and terrified at the same time.
Notification
You have been sleeping for 897,894 years.
“I don’t understand why that fucking twerp made this shit worse! It has to be a prank!” I grumbled.
System: You’re standing while sleeping this whole time.
“Grrrrr! What?! It doesn’t make sense!” I exclaimed, raking my hair in exasperation but another notification appeared.

Weaponizer
Turning your limbs into shadow weapons. The weapons you wielded will become more badass when using this skill.
I thought Crack made things worse but everything is fine because the world they live in became more advanced than Earth Year 2530 that I used to live before my death. The robots that assisted them became deadly. They might look like humans but their highly advanced weapons were hidden in their subspace which was powered by magic and science. The structure of the buildings are well designed and protected by barriers.
The vehicles were purposely made for killing even some of them looked like a simple bicycle, skateboard or scooter.
“Good morning, General.” A voice coming from behind me greeted with utmost respect and I turned around to see a 6’3” ft. old man with a simple white coat then saluted as his black mustache quivered for a second.
The old man’s long black hair is messy as his sleepy purple eyes, haggard wrinkly pale face and thin body indicates that he has no time to take care of himself.
I used ˹Observe˼ and it surprised me that he’s an impressive shadow. His name and appearance fitted him very well.
NAME: Albert Einstein
RACE: Shadow
TYPE: Oracle
GENDER: Male
AGE: 7,898,894
JOB: Leader of Earth #1, Teacher\Instructor\Professor, Head Scientist, Head Magic Theorist, Inventor, and Head Engineer.
[LEVEL: 150]
HP: 3,000,000/3,000,000
MP: 5,000,000/5,000,000
He is the oldest among the shadows and he seems to know everything in the past.
If Crack said the truth about the puzzle genre, will this guy get rebooted once he told me everything?
Sacrificing one soldier for the sake of information is worth to try but the red window popped up.
Warning!
Force interrogation may cause a rebellion.
Well… Never mind.
“At ease!” I ordered and he put down his hand.
“General, I’m here to report everything for you to catch up.”
I nodded and he starts explaining, “The reason why we made this far was that our God gave us an order. He said that he wanted us to keep going and you’ll reward us a gift when you wake up.”
“What?! I mean… Yeah, I remember.” I lied.
A gift? That twerp never said that to me.
Then Albert continued, “He said that you are sleeping until to this exact date and time then one of us which was me will do what I exactly doing today.”
“Here are the list of the proposals that the leaders in each Earth haven’t approve.” Albert said as the holographic image of a list of proposals hovered in the middle of the room then he added.
“They are at least 1.5 million of proposals that you must check.”
I pinched the bridge of my nose, “Over sleeping is a bad idea.”
“It was our God’s will to let you rest for a bit.” Albert explained but I disagreed.
“For a bit in my ass.”
“Please don’t be mad to our God. He’s simply concern to you.”
I internally shivered in disgust, “Just give me the list. I’ll make this quick.”
“The list is already in your computer and please take your time.” Albert said but never left my room.
“You can get out now, Albert.”
He shook his head, “I’m sorry, I can’t leave if you don’t give me the approved proposals.”
Then I let him wait outside of my room and continued my job. There might be millions of proposals but the first proposal is very intriguing. Giving separate home planets for the new race called Machines is surprising. The robots became sentient 100 thousand years ago and they are waiting for my approval. The second proposal is giving the machines a freedom.
Goddamn… How is this possible? Robots are only tools in my previous life but the shadows think of them as a new race just because they became self-aware?
I read the rest of the details and it all makes sense why they want to free the machines. It was because they think of them as family. I laughed at this bullshit and think over about this again. I guess the Zero Emotions failed to suppress their emotions and this is the result. If I don’t approve this, my people’s loyalty will decrease.
So I approved it as I duplicated the copies of Earths for the Machines and the blue screen popped up.
You acquired an Achievement!
[Road to Goddess of the Machines]
Approving the proposals about the machines and giving them a freedom is the first step to become your new people.
After reading my new achievement, I mentally note that those machines will become my reinforcement if we get outnumbered.
As I continued approving the proposals, my people are confident to get out of the chamber but it’s not the time for that. I must train them for combat and war strategies because none of them are considered as soldiers in my list. All of them must become my soldiers. Few hours later, I gave it to Albert and ordered him to tell the rest of the shadows about my thoughts.
Enter only 1 sentence to describe your quest: I’ll train them but better than how my instructors taught me.

Rewards: ???
I looked at the copy of Earth Year 2530 and visiting that hell made me remember every betrayals I’ve experienced as if it all happened yesterday. I duplicated everything in that world except the traces of my past self. They must never find the clue of where I came from because it might lose their loyalty to me.
The next day, I sent them all to those worlds and they seemed surprised.
“General, what happened to this world? Our ˹Reminiscence˼ and ˹Spoiler˼ won’t work in here.” Albert asked but I remained silent and letting them continue testing their abilities.
System: The answer to his question is… Those worlds are not a hundred percent perfectly copied from the original which made them not to see the past and future.
♦ ♦ ♦
We trained day and night. From hand-to-hand combat and testing their technologies if it was destructive enough to destroy a world. The researchers are intrigued by the resources and technologies which I’m sure these things will come in handy in the future. Learning some advanced shadow magic is simple because of my INT.
Unfortunately, the Oracles are still researching the past of those worlds. They have no idea how everything started especially seeing those Eyes of the Apocalypse made them shiver. Those things can be duplicated and all of them are in the max level. I expect they’ll kill me because I’m weaker than them but they chose to stay still in their position.

Rewards: Badges and Epaulets
We celebrated our last day in the Chamber of Punishment just like how people in Earth year 2030 did such as balloons, fancy foods and party hats. Then the fashion designers proposed the official military uniforms and let me decide which designs they should release right now.
There are 50 designs and I chose the very iconic uniform that suit our race. With the combination of black, silver and purple is the best one I could find. After receiving our uniforms, a blue window popped in front of my face.
You acquired an item!
Shadow Military Uniform [For President Only]
Description: The best designers of the Shadow race did their best to create a uniform for their leader.
Requirements: Only the president of Shadows will use this item.

I didn’t finished reading the details because I walked straight to the girls’ comfort room to wear my uniform. After that, I looked myself in to the mirror.
There are silver pins, buttons, and small chains stuck on the upper part of my body. The purple cape reaching my hips but behind it is black. The buckle of my silver belt has a round purple crystal. The glowing purple lines detailed my black boots that reached above my thighs and skirt. The tight black skirt which reached above my knees but I’m wearing cycling shorts to hide my panties.
With this uniform, I’m a bit too sexy.
What the hell are my designers thinking?
I continued observing my outfit, the purple crystal symbol of the emblem on my hat matched Crack’s pupils and I’m not sure about the other one above it.

The purple diamond shaped crystal is my previous world’s emblem and the thing above it looks like an upside down 3 pairs of black crystalized wings. My designers said that they copied our god’s random sketches all over the Chamber of Punishment because they found it pretty.

As I wear the white gloves, the lower ranked female shadows with their military uniforms gasped and praised me. Yes, they should praise me because of these 10 silver stars on my hat. This should be 5 stars but no one cares.
However, I heard someone is muttering somewhere in the other cubicles but I can hear her very clearly, “I wonder when we can get our gift from our general? I hope it’s something nice.”
Speaking of gifts, it’s time for them to receive their badges and epaulets.
The triangular shaped silver badges with 1 line on each sides which made them looked like it formed a letter Y is not bad at all. I guess the system created this random design.

And as for the silver epaulets, there’re no insignias on it.
System: The insignia will emerge automatically depending on their ranks.
After reading the system’s answer, the five dark purple star shaped crystals with the arrangement which made it looked like a pentagon truly appeared once I put my epaulets on my shoulders.

Unexpectedly, my people are so happy to receive them as if those things are sentimental.
“Well… This is it. It’s time for us to leave.” I said before we left my Pocket Dimension.
As we faced the floating massive door, my army is ready but we are not yet in the max level which is a bit disappointing.

“Selfie first before leaving.” I muttered as I ready myself to get a selfie but the children in military uniform are behind me.
“Yey! Groupie!” They said simultaneously and I sighed in dismay.
They’re still childish but at least they can fight.
After taking selfie, I used ˹Fly˼ to get closer to the door and looked behind to face my army. Countless sleek black space warships, star fighters and armored soldiers can be seen in the horizon. I’m hoping they don’t fear the enemies in the other side of the door.
“Today, I expect this escape attempt will cause a huge casualties or this will be our last day.”
“Just open the door already!” A voice of a boy from the frontlines yelled and I sighed in exasperation.
Whoever shouted at me seems he can’t wait to die.
I looked at the boy and he’s standing beside Albert Einstein. He wears a cape the same as mine and other high ranked soldiers. He’s smaller than any other children type shadows but he possessed the 3 stars as his insignia. Then I used ˹Observe˼ to see how strong this kid is.

After reading this information, I remember that this boy is the first shadow to receive a name and he’s also the one who advised me to read light novels. He is impressive but Albert is still the best of all the shadows I have.

“Come on! Open the door!” Elmer’s voice echoed and the rest of my army facepalmed.
Albert tried to shut Elmer’s mouth but he’s too stubborn. Those two caped soldiers might wear the same rank but Elmer is still childish.
And as for myself, I let him shout all he want because I’m going to open the door. When my hand touched the huge doorknob, we suddenly teleported to another place. The sky is blue similar to Earth but the ground is dark, dry, lifeless, and shitty that I’ve ever seen.
Babysitting Completed!
Rewards: Evolution of the Epaulets
System: Welcome to Shadow Continent!–
I disregard the blue window because the enemies might be everywhere in this place.
“Keep your guard up!”
As we keep waiting for an ambush in about 30 minutes, there are no signs of hostile creatures. I ordered my scout teams to survey this continent but they found nothing.
At least no one died in this day.
The End of Chapter 9
