[Shadow Storage Area (Lv. 1)]

[Skill Special Class]

[Which Cost: 0]

[Absorbing the Shadow Warrior into the user's shadow for storage]

[Saved soldiers can be summoned and reabsorbed freely by the user]

[Saved Views: 0/20]

'As I thought.'

Jin Woo nodded.

Before he checked the description, he suspected that the "storage" in his name meant

that skill would allow him to guard the soldiers somehow.

However, there was one thing he did not expect.

"The limit is ..."

Storage limit is smaller than calling limit.

While he could make 30 Soldiers, he could only keep 20 of them.

That meant he had to get rid of 10 more.

"Well, that sucks."

It was like biting one of his fingers.

Even getting rid of a single Soldier was already painful, and now he had to

get rid of 10 of them.

‘Hmm ..’

With a heavy heart, Jin Woo looked at his troops.

Of course, Ygritte and the Mages will be excluded from the selection.

That would leave the infantry.

He decided to choose the 10 most distant Warriors at the moment.

'I'm sorry'

Jin Woo prays for their souls.

shooooo

The soldiers he chose became dust and scattered.

Compared to the first time, the regret he felt diminished.

They say humans can get used to anything.

Someways.

Jin Woo looks at the remaining warriors and uses 'Shadow Storage'.

On the activation of the skill, Ygritte and the Shadow Warrior melted like ice into a flat shadow.

Then, their shadows flow to Jin Woo and enter his own shadow.

"So, this is what a Skill meant to absorb them ...!"

Exactly as described by the Skill; his army was absorbed into his shadow.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

The shadow warrior is invisible.

‘... Even after seeing it ..’

Jin Woo looked at his shadow in amazement.

At that moment, the system rang.

ring ~

[You've already tried all the Class-specific Skills]

[Class progress is now complete]

[Exit will now be made]

"Did this finally end ...?"

It's a long and difficult road.

Jin Woo takes one last look at the Dungeon.

Traces of fighting littered the area.

The broken Knight Armor.

The cracked wall.

The broken pillar.

And the one who destroyed the pillar, the iron golem, which was now a pile of armor

the broken.

But his trials have yielded many great benefits.

New classes and Skills.

A strong army.

A smile appeared on Jin Woo's face.

He turned around without a second thought.

Gates was heading into the real world waiting for him.

Jin Woo stepped forward.

He returned to the open forest.

It was the same place he had first entered the Dungeon Quest.

It was 5 in the morning.

The sun will rise soon.

Oh right

Jin Woo looks at his watch and kicks himself in his mind.

"If I knew this would take all this time, I would definitely tell Jin Ah"

Fortunately, he was late in the past due to the Raid Association.

Jin Woo looked behind him.

The Gates he left behind disappeared without a trace.

'Huh…'

Looking at the empty open space, everything that happened felt like a dream.

Wait,dream?

No, that's not possible.

Jin Woo looked around.

The soldiers dressed in pitch-black surrounded him.

The Shadow Warrior came out as he thought of them in his head.

‘...’

At first, he thought of them as monsters.

Shadow Warriors.

A monster summoned from the shadow of the dead.

If they're monsters, then what do you call creatures that can freely create and

control them?

Jin Woo smiled, though,

"Well, that doesn't matter ..."

He recalled the soldiers who had entered back into his shadow.

The way home was as easy as walking down the hill.

________________________________________

Jin Woo slept for a long time.

He can't help it.

As he lay on his bed, the days were already bright.

ring ~ ring ~

What woke him up was his phone ringing.

He managed to take it with much difficulty.

Jin Woo answered the phone with his eyes still closed.

"Hello…"

His tired voice broke a little.

"What ... Oppa, are you still sleeping? Do you know what time it is?!"

Jin Ah asks in surprise from the other end of the phone, so Jin Woo asks.

"What time is it…"

"It's 2 o'clock!"

"Whaa-y?"

Jin Woo glanced at the phone clock through a crack in his eye.

He's correct.

"Oppa, do you remember that you have to come to school today, right?"

His voice was filled with worry.

This makes Jin Woo finally sit on the bed.

"When should I be there?"

"Hour 5!"

“Alright, I won't be late.Don't worry"

“As expected of my brother! Call me when you get here! "

Jin Ah sweetly ended the call.

Jin Woo scratched his head and slowly got up.

He might be able to do it if he was ready now.

"But, still, I'll go see my sister's teacher"

In addition, this is for parent/guardian meetings for High School students.

They say this is one of the most important encounters in a child's life.

"I can't look like this"

He went and looked at his clothes.

A musty smell filled his nose; it was not a good smell.

Jin Woo's forehead is wrinkled.

The most suitable thing he found was the old suit he wore for graduation.

"Do I have to wear this?"

He tried it, but it didn't fit.

"Aw, my body is really growing."

Trying on her old clothes is a sure way to find out.

The suit felt like it was going to tear him apart.

...Now what?

While wondering what she can wear, Jin Woo's eyes are fixed on the bankbook that

yoo Jinho gave it to him.

It contained the magic core income of their Raid.

Looking back and forth between the old suit and the savings book, a smile appeared on Jin Woo's face.

'It's been a long time.Should I go shopping?'

However, there was one small one that he had to check.

Wait, it's not small, it's something big.

Jin Woo took off his suit and sat on his bed and opened the status screen.

'Show status’

A box of information filled with many words filled his gaze.

"Well…"

Jin Woo stuck his tongue out at the status screen constantly.

"I feel like a few days ago this was always empty"

Thatvs right.

But now, only Skills and equipment had improved greatly.

Above all, what stood out to him was his new Class.

Class: Monarch of Shadows

Just yesterday, this place was decorated with the word, "nothing".

To be honest, every time he opened his status screen, those "nothing" posts bothered him.

A Hunter that was not a Raid was basically an unemployed tramp.

At least that's how people look at them.

So when he looked at his previous status screen and saw that he did not have a Class

(Job/Job), that makes sense in his mind.

Now, he could not hide his excitement when he saw the newly filled passage

from the status screen.

"Is this what they call an inferiority complex?"

Of course,“no” in that part doesn't mean he doesn't have a real-life job.

But it reminds him of his past.

The other Hunters attacked and earned a lot of money without paying attention to the eyes of the world.

He's not the same.

He could not even proudly claim that he was a Hunter.

After all, he was only a Rank-E who could barely sustain his own life.

"Hello, I'm a Rank-E Hunter"

Every time those words came out of his mouth, anyone who knew about the Hunters would praise him

for his hard work but kept mocking him behind his back.

That was why not having a Class was the thing that bothered him, even though it made no sense.

But now, he had obtained a job, or rather something special.

His job is still as a Hunter, but with a little extra, he's been getting calls

special called "Monarch of Shadows".

"Even if it's not exactly what I expected ..."

He has no regrets.

If anything, he is satisfied.

If he was not in his room, he would call Ygritte and the Shadow Warrior in front of him.

Jin Woo really wants to test their skills in battle.

What if they could expend 100% of their strength?

'Maybe not.'

But even imagining it made his heart beat fast.

ba dum ba dum

Jin Woo stood still and felt his heartbeat.

In his head, he ran the next Raid simulation.

In addition, he was looking forward to Yoo Jinho's reaction.

Imagining the young man's face with his eyes and mouth wide open, Jin Woo laughed in disarray

of himself.

Hold still.

"Now when I think about it"

If he can resurrect the dead, and if the target is not limited to monsters or

wild animals ...

"I should be able to raise a soldier from a dead Hunter, right?"

It was obvious, but he avoided the idea because there were humans involved.

To think that he would command the undead warrior from the shadow of the dead.

The idea surprised him.

Even still…

‘What if I can have a Shadow Warrior from Hunter Rank-A or Rank-S?’

The power he would gain would surpass imagination.

Even if that warrior could only use 50% of his original strength, that would be enough

for him to raid a high-level Dungeon.

His beating heart turned into like he was running fast.

BA DUM,BA DUM,BA DUM!

But Jin Woo shook his head.

"Stay, raising a human into an undead is a bit ..."

It's not something to be done.

No matter how much it increased his strength, he wanted to avoid doing that.

Unless someone shows up and really deserves to be made that way ...

"It doesn't mean there's a lot of opportunities to fight other Hunters"

Even if an opportunity arises, there is a philosophical problem.

Humans are not monsters or beasts.

Alright.

For now, he would be satisfied with the existing troops.

"I also got a boss-level warrior"

Shadow Soldier who was level 7 and knight title.

How strong is he?

Jin Woo looks forward to the next Raid.
