MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

Chapter 13 Perks



< Congratulation to Player [ Unnamed ] for getting The Hidden Subclass! >

The world went crazy. Another unnamed Player got an achievement worthy of being shown to the entire world in the same day.

' Guilds are probably trying to locate and recruit both people, even though it's the same person '

I chuckled thinking about the situation in the game. While the world was in Chaos I was peacefully lying on the floor. A hologram was hovering above me.

< Unique Subclass Chosen! >

< LOOT >

1️⃣ ⭕ Dark Energy → ⭕ Shadow Energy

2️⃣ 📖 Darkness Blast → 📖 Shadow Blast

3️⃣ Unique Active Skill Book x1

4️⃣ +100 SP

~~~~

My eyes had a happy glint while I was looking at the loot. First step of my plan was completed. I've gotten the secret Subclass, now I need to escape from the village and complete quests with cash rewards.

Taking out the new Unique book I immediately used it.

< New Active Skill Learned! >

I opened my Status and quickly scrolled down to see what active skill I've gotten.

1️⃣ Shadow Realm < Lv. 1 >

-- As a Shadow you must know how to fight against Light

-- Absorb all light in the area creating a perfect domain for you Fight

~ Cost 100 MP / 20 Shadow Energy

~ 24 hour cooldown

~~~~

My eyebrows twitched.

" What is Shadow Energy? "

I've never heard about Shadow energy before. Even the guy in the video didn't mention it. Scratching my neck I opened my upgraded Dark Energy Passive Skill.

1️⃣ Shadow Energy < Lv. 1 >

-- You've learned a stronger type of Mana; Shadow Energy.

-- Shadow energy can be absorbed by staying in the Shadows

~ 1 shadow energy per minute

~ No cost

~ No cooldown

~~~~

" Wha... "

My question was cut short when I read the skill's description. Now it all made sense, but still.

Wasn't it a bit broken?

No shit, the dude in the video didn't mention this. He would be hunted down if someone knew that the Subclass gave him a better type of Mana.

2️⃣ Shadow Blast < Lv. 1 >

-- Launch an Orb full of shadows that'll inflict fear and blindness, some fear and a little bit more fear upon colliding with the enemies

~ True Damage

I've gotten a new Attribute, Shadow Energy!

I was tempted to put all the SP into it, but I somehow controlled the inner Demon and assigned only half of them.

Usually when you upgrade your MP you feel your Mana Capacity increase, but now I felt a strange feeling... It felt like my body's shadow was becoming bigger.

Just to make sure I took a peek at my shadow I noticed its shape was constantly changing. It looked like it was absorbing light from the surrounding area.

After upgrading the Shadow Energy I also had a strange hunch that my upgraded Skills and Spells can become stronger if casted while using SE. I wanted to try if my hunch is right and conjured a Shadow Blast while using the Shadow Energy.

An Orb of grey and dark color appeared in my palm, it seemed to attract and devour light. Noticing its strange appearance I didn't want to hold onto it for too long, so I extended my hand forward and threw the Blast at the closest wall.

Boom...

The Spell hit the wall and completely demolished it. A street view opened revealing a lot of players and NPCs walking in the street. All the eyes turned towards me.

I felt my neck and cheeks redden. The crowd was in total silence, I was about to apologize when I heard some murmurs spread through the crowd.

' He's hiding his face like the player that defeated the Dark Prince '

' ... Power to Demolish a wall with a single spell '

' Contact the Guild! '

Suddenly I felt like I was eyed by a group of predators.

Not wanting to act suspicious I turned around and started walking like I didn't care, when I heard somebody shouting from the crowd.

" He's Lv. 10! I've used my special item to identify his level! He must be the player that defeated The Dark Prince "

' SHIT ! '

I cursed in my mind. How unfortunate that such item would be dropped from the monster. Special items can be dropped from the monsters upon their death. The Item Used to inspect User's Level and Race can be dropped from the starting village's bird type monsters.

In the later stages of the game, much more powerful Items and equipment will allow one to even see other player's Attributes and Skills.

No face mask will help you to hide your Identity from these items. Unless you have equipment of a similar or higher Tier specifically made to hide your Status.

As soon As I was exposed I darted through the house and jumped out from the second floor window. I heard some shouts coming from the street and quickened my pace.

" Catch Him! "

" Quick, film him! "

" Has anyone seen his face? "

" He's Running! "

" Join our Guild! "

I ran as fast as I could and sounds became further and further when finally, they disappeared. I leaned on the nearby tree and took a deep breath.

" Do they have nothing to do? "

I was questioning if those people were NPCs. To chase a player for an hour is crazy, even obsessive.

Opening the Map I shifted my body to the North and stretched my back. It's going to be a long journey to the big city.

My next Goal is to collect some materials and sell them at an auction that is happening next week. I'll need to accept a lot of quests to kill Golems that drop rare ores that should sell for a lot of money.
