MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

Quickly grabbing the core from the Crocodile's ashes I brushed it in my robe.

The ashes were covering its bright surface, but it couldn't hide its glow.

The core was the size of a baseball and felt like it was made out of metal.

Putting it in my Inventory I looked how much Stats my Demonic flame gathered from burning the crocodile.

< Demonic Flame devoured x1 Elite Deinosuchus! >

~ +0.5% Magical damage

~ +0.5% Cooldown reduction

I felt Demonic Flames growing stronger, the white light they had felt brighter than before.

Extinguishing the skill I sat on the nearby stone waiting for my wounds to heal.

Taking out the Pearl I've found in the river I put it on my tongue.

< Diamond Pearl consumed! >

< +25 SP >

I felt my body heaten up. Probably the after effect of the Pearl.

Stretching my back, I felt as if I'm full.

-- Player Leo has received a Status Effect < Full >

~ One will not be able to consume Attribute boosting items temporarily

~ Duration →10 days

' So that's why... '

I scratched my chin. I wasn't particularly surprised since I expected something similar. I always wondered why the rich people in my previous life didn't just change money into coins and buy tons of such items.

Coming back near the river I once again followed it to get to the city.

While walking I managed to somehow make Fenrir wash himself, because he was really stinking of blood.

The good thing is that I felt our bond strengthen. To celebrate, I gave him a juicy piece of cooked pork.

I was happy, since everything was going my way.

I've bought a house, took revenge, I am the most powerful player as of now and finally gotten a hidden Sub-class.

Everyday I wanted to scream how lucky I was to get such an amazing thing. Extra spells, new powerful energy, even a new element and its domain.

It was a kit that would make one kill for it and I had it...

For free.

All I needed to do was offer my blood in the specific house, specific village and at the particular time.

It's really easy...

Contemplating all the pros my class had I noticed how low to none monsters attacked us.

Looking at my familiar, Fenrir was constantly glaring around and shifting his ears to various directions.

' That's what they call fear of predators '

I thought that Fenrir's presence scared away all the possible monsters. Little did I know I forgot his special passive skill < Predator's Presence > which enables him to mask his presence all the time.

The monsters were actually not attacking, because I unknowingly was a bigger threat than a wolf.

Even though I had no Killing intent or other skill that would drive fear into the enemies. They could clearly feel the difference in our strength, hence chose not to attack.

After the crocodile's attack followed next was an uneventful journey to the city.

Walking out of the forest I saw some smoke rising over the hill.

' Chimneys '

I quickly deduced and started jogging towards the smoke. Sure enough Fenrir treated this as a game and started chasing me.

While I ran towards the village a certain someone was spying on me by using a spyglass.

The stalker's eyes shined when he saw Fenrir happily running around me and trying to tug me or receive a head pat.

Taking a picture the stalker quickly sent it to his superior.

" Found him "

~~~~

In a far away office, two people were arguing over something important.

One of them was a middle aged man with a smile which didn't match his cold eyes. He was tall and had a good physique, he also wore a suit and had an aura of businessman.

The other party was a lady no older than twenty with a visible frown shown across her face. She had looks to garner looks from all men, but this didn't help her with the current situation.

" It'll be the future of this world "

The lady angrily yelled at the man with no visible respect shown to the man.

" I've given you a chance, but it didn't work did it? "

The man rebuked her claim by simply pulling up some sheets of paper and throwing them on the table for the lady to see.

The frown on the lady's face was turning bigger and bigger which made the man's expression slightly loosen up.

" You've already tried, Why don't we forget about this and move on? "

At this point the lady wasn't angry, she was disappointed by how shortsighted the man was. Since she didn't really have any control of the money, she decided to take a more passive way.

" I need a month, I'll make sure to make it work! "

The man's expression became complicated.

If he wasn't biased his decision without a doubt would be to decline, but he couldn't help, but lean on the lady's side, she was his daughter after all.

While he was thinking, a phone rang. Picking up the mobile phone the lady quickly answered the call.

" What? "

" Perfect, send me all the information! '

Putting the phone on the table she smiled at the man.

" We've found him "

The sentence set the man's mind to turmoil. If they really found the unknown player it would be a chance to strike a deal with him.

The man's eyes started shining thinking about how they could extort money from a clueless player.

On the other hand the girl had other plans in store.

' I need to somehow rope him in, he's a chance for me to prove myself '

Oblivious to each other's thinking a smile appeared on both of their faces.

~~~~

Climbing up the hill I looked at the city down below. Hundreds of houses and other buildings were standing near each other seemingly being only a few meters apart.

Eyeing the city gates from the far I prayed that I would not be stopped by the guards and started descending down the mountain.
