Chapter 22
[Temporary Skill: Shadow Soul- This skill allows the user to place a piece of his will within his own shadow. This can allow the user to make his shadow follow and/or give his shadow a physical copy. This will allow the copy to attack or protect physically.]
[
"What the Fuck is an ERROR?" Koa said with a confused look.
[Shadow Follower - a deviated skill for Shadow Soul. This skill allows a Creature that has died due to a complete transfer to the Shadow Soul, to now be use and under the order of the user. Creature that can be used: Elder Shadow Wolf. Cost 30 mana and 10 Blood Essence. Cast will be permanent unless the summon is destroyed but is able to be recast after a four day cooldown after its death.]
"So, this would count as a permanent skill or one that I would have to exchange for Blood Essence." Koa
[Do to the Skill's deviation its now a personal permanent skill that is unique to only the user because of the systems interference.]
"Huh. Awesome I got a free permanent skill and a temporary skill off of the same piece of meat. Thought it is nasty at least it was worthwhile, but I wonder how the system had interfered and what would of happened if it didn't." Koa
[If not for the interference the user would have had to fight a great soul with its weaker soul. Do to never having a soul skill, your soul is weaker than a fly in the aspects of souls. The greater soul would have consumed yours and your body would look almost lifeless without having your soul. The system had separated the foreign soul and placed it within a skill allowing you to benefit from its soul in the skill. The benefit allows you to strength your soul and make you stronger against mind attacks or soul skills. Your temporary skill also helps benefits you soul, but this is a slow process compared to your new permanent skill.]
"Well, its good to know that this system thing is on my side when I'm up against things that I don't know about. How exactly do you calculate soul strength?" Koa
"Aww. I should check the stats menu…" Koa said as he began to think of the word.

"Huhn I got a new title as well? Let's see what it is." Koa
[Shadow Wolf's Presence – Amongst the Shadow Wolves you will be a leader or elder of them. You will be seen as a part of the pack. In the presence of weaker beasts or people you will remain unnoticed unless you desire to be seen.]
"Now that will be helpful, I wouldn't have to worry about fighting beasts that are not as strong as myself." Koa
As Koa was sitting cooking meat and talking to himself multiple groups have passed by him. They merely glanced at him but after that they went on there way to do their mission. A few factions' parties watched him for a minute or two; they wanted to see if he had a special skill or gave off a domineering aura. As they watched Koa they noticed nothing from him as a result the factions lost interest in him.
From one the factions a few people began to talk about what they were doing just standing there watching someone.
"Dimer do you see anything special about that person?" a person asked there leader
"Hm. Ah well that's what I thought at first, but it doesn't seem that way. He doesn't give off an aura of a person that is strong enough to be in our faction." Dimer
"If that is true then why is he here in the forest in the first place. He does not even look injured from fighting any of creatures from the forest." Another person from the group said.
"True but for all we know he just ran here causing misfortune to other groups. If he has survived without doing any of that and has the strength we will be the first to ask him to join before the other factions as him." Dimer
After that the groups from the factions began to move on their way forgetting about the young man that was completely oblivious to them. Koa just finished his inspection on his status and eating his meal for lunch. Koa began to pack up all the things he needed.
"Alright let's get out of this forest and get to the nearest city." Koa
As Koa was heading to the nearest city, a few parties that were in the forest came across two corpses in the forest one had been foraged for materials and the other was a headless corpse. These were the corpses of the Shadow Wolf and the old man Yeo. This startled many party members; they be used to fighting beasts but looking at a headless corpse of a person was very different for them. The groups party leader began to search for a guild card or something to identify the body so they could bring the information back to their city. As they searched they found nothing that would help them identify who this was. So, when they got back to the city they would just let the guards know of his location and maybe they would have better luck.
The groups marked where they were on their maps for a location the guards can follow. This maybe a chance for them to hit it big find a body of someone that has bounty on him or something.
