- Chapter 03: "Shadow".

- Huh. - The man spoke looking at me after having understood the whole situation. I think he was even a little happier than before, now, making a surprisingly scary face.

- An independent? This is going to be fun. Good boy, now I ask you to leave this area. NOW. Don't over complicate things. - He spoke taking his weapons and making some gestures with his companions.

Why would he do that? What is independent? - Boy, this is also for your safety, go, get out. - He spoke now pointing the same weapons at me, with a symbol on them. Suddenly, from his pointed sword, fire came out, it seems to have been magic.

As I walked away to try to get out of the zone, I remembered that before I had an observation window for my title, but I just ignored it, since I was tired. Somehow in a short time I recovered and I also became calmer, but they didn't.

- Open title introduction! - I whispered while pretending to have a hurt leg to slow down. Then the window appeared shortly thereafter.

"Titles: 01 / ??"

"Owned Title: Only a protection."

"Specifications: If the primary user of the safe zone is attacked, everyone who attacked and was previously his allies will be killed by the 'Imperial Guards'."

Imperial guards? I'm a little confused ... They were my friends before, I think. But, what if they attack me? Will these imperial guards appear? I thought to myself, stopping moving. - Hey boy, are you going too slow, do you want me to push you ?! - He said pointing the gun at me again. Now, I had a plan, but unfortunately, I think it will hurt at least a little bit for it to work fully.

- I'm not going out! - I said looking at him with an intimidating face. Even though this is like those MMORPG games I played or something, I don't think it will kill me, right? - You asked for it! - He said throwing a fireball at me. I just closed my eyes and waited ... Nothing happened. I opened my eyes again and there they were, passed out on the floor now completely red, with a dark shadow beside them.

- Enemies have been neutralized. - He said, now eating people, as if they were animals served at a banquet. I couldn't take it and puked on the side. He seems to have noticed me, but he just ignored me.

"New skill: Mimicry."

“You can control your shadow, and make it your imperial guard. The more your guard eats, the more EXp the user will get, and he will become stronger. ”

“History: A guard from a distant kingdom that had no light. There, everyone was forced to eat anyone who was not strong enough. One day, he got tired of his country, and fled to the Outside World. ” History? I think some skills in controlling things should probably have stories. I read already wiping away all the vomit that was on my clothes.

In fact, my guard was even gone, since all the bodies were gone. - I'm here, master. - I heard a voice beside me, kneeling, with the head of one of those who attacked me. - Get that away from me! - I yelled at him rolling my face, with my hands already bloody. - Right, master. - He said. After that, I heard some sobs, and finally, they stopped. - Done, master. "He spoke now only on his knees, probably waiting for me to give him orders."

- Well ... Can you get EXp for me? - I said looking straight into your eyes. I mean, the emptiness that could have been his eyes before. -

"Certainly, master." He spoke, then getting up and then disappearing like lightning. <-> After a few minutes, maybe seconds, windows started to appear.

"You have leveled up!"

"You have leveled up!"

Over and over again this window appeared. Maybe I don't even want to know what level I am currently at. Anyway, this window appeared:

“You have too many points. Spend them! ”

Points? Is it like a system where I put points on strength, intelligence and agility? I thought about clicking the button that was below this message.

"FOR: 0" "AGI: 0" "DEF: 0" "MANA: 15"
