In the city of Gravif, Axel, a notorious thief, 'stumbles' upon a powerful artifact. Upon unlocking its abilities, the artifact corrupts his mana, causing it to plummet to -1. With this strange glitch, Axel becomes an unstoppable force. However, Axel, preferring to operate under the radar, opts to conceal his new abilities, not one for unwanted attention.

Yet, luck proves to be against him as the city of Gravif and its lurking demons have alternative plans.

I'll keep writing 'The Blood Magic User' and release one new chapter every day. This is another project I'm working on, experimenting with the system tag and adding my own spin. Thank you for reading!

The Shadow Thief

Exiting through a side window, I helped the little girl climb down. We both hid behind a pillar as the first light of the sun spread across the giant building, casting a golden glow throughout the garden.

The area seemed calm, with guards patrolling their usual routes. Everyone seemed oblivious that the 'esteemed guest of the King' had escaped right under their noses.

"Okay, you follow me, Myata," I whispered. "Keep low, don't let them see you."

"Y-yes!" she responded, her voice trembling.

We traced our steps back and reached the west entrance safe and sound. I crouched to become nearly invisible, but since the sun was up, my Shadow Cloak ability ended instantly. Taking a deep breath, I made Myata hide behind a statue and scanned for any guards outside the double gates. There were none, but a horseman was patrolling nearby, and two guards were following him.
