A Fallen God
[ One With The Shadow
(100 EE)
---
- The skill grants the user the ability to convert any non-living thing around them into shadow.
- Certain objects and all elements can resist this skill.
Radius: 5 meters
Duration: 5 minutes ]
Out of all the skills Aiden had seen, this one far surpassed all of them. But the more powerful a skill was, the higher the requirements to learn it were.
[ Requirements:
- This skill can only be learned if the host has an advanced job class involving the shadow element.
- This skill requires one to forsake everything and just focus on the shadows around them. If one loses focus, it might result in a forced ending of the skill. ]
'System, tell me about advanced job classes.' Aiden eyed the details of the skill written on the scroll thoroughly.
There was no column about the requirements and that had been presented by the system itself. As for the details about the skill, they had been written on the scroll.
< When a job class reaches its max exp, it will evolve in an advanced job class. After that has been maxed too, it would turn into an expert job class. And after maxing that out, you will obtain a master job class.
The host won't be able to level up a master job class any further but you wouldn't have any need to do it anyways. But there is another category of job classes known as royal classes. These job classes cannot be upgraded and cannot be leveled up. >
'Tell me more about this royal job class.'
Aiden slowly started opening the rest of the scroll to see if there was anything else inside it and much to his surprise, there was another skill inside it.
< Royal job classes can only be given by a person to another person and cannot be obtained in any other way. Every royal job class is unique to itself and no other class like it exists. At times, there are a few people who hold the same royal job class too. That's all I know host. >
As soon as the system finished, Aiden's eyes scanned the new skill.
It looked as though this one was the most extreme one till now.

'So the skill has separate passive effects huh. That's kind of unique.' Aiden thought as he continued to read the details of the skill.

'Damn that's an interesting skill… The system screen however is too long. Not like I can do anything about it.' Aiden thought silently as he realized the effects of the skill.
It could be used on large scale and could be effective against almost everything. But there was another column of the skill.
**
Hidden effects: The main job class: Prince Of Shadows will be upgraded to an advanced job class. ]
Aiden wanted to learn the skill the moment he read the last section. The hidden effects were too good to let go but the requirements made his mood turn sour.
[ Requirements:
- The person should be below 18 years of age and 10 or above years of age
- The God of Shadows is a hard person to please. In order to become his follower, you need to give up on the path of lust (AKA horniness)
- If the person manages to stay away from the path of lust for five years (meaning that you don't get an erection host), he or she will become the Shadow God's Follower. ]
"Well I give up," Aiden said the moment he read the requirements. "I can't do that just to become a God's follower."
< It's quite beneficial host. >
"Did you forget that I am about to become a teenager system?" Aiden asked with a raised eyebrow. "I can handle this for two to three years but after that, everything will go down the drain."
< I can't do anything about it host. A dragon will always awaken at the right time. >
"That's a quote with double meaning but who cares. I will just try to learn the first skill." Aiden muttered as he closed the scroll.
As soon as he closed the scroll, the lights in his room started to flicker. Aiden raised his eyebrows while cracking his knuckles.
"Now what? Someone trying to prank me?" He asked out loud but heard no reply.
The lights in his room continued and flicker and cold wind suddenly hit his skin. The hair on his skin stood up as he narrowed his eyes.
"Now that's weird," Aiden muttered while trying to find the source of the cold wind. "There is no window or door in my room. So where is the wind coming from?"
That question gave rise to another question.
'Heck, how does air even come in this room?! I should have died because of not enough oxygen.' He thought but the one to reply to him was his system.
< Host, the shadow God wants to talk with you. He apparently thinks that you are making fun of his requirements. >
'I thought gods didn't exist here? How is he even able to hear me?'
< I don't know that host. You better talk to him yourself... Oh, he just sent a message saying that he is a fallen god and normal rules and laws don't apply on him. >
'Are you some kind of instant messaging system? Anyways, I guess I have no choice rather than talking to him.' Aiden replied with a sigh as the lights stopped flickering.
"Come on fallen God of Shadows, let's have a talk."
