"Whatever there case we still need to do still need to collect 100 SS and right now I only have 60 so entering the Cracks aren't a viable options, nor can we ask Shadow since he is so mysterious, so the core problem, the very reason of us all gathered here is what should we do about the increasing Cracks?" Amanda asked, bring the leaders back to the crisis that everyone was currently facing.

As they all tried to come up with a different way to solve the issue Jason had already gotten back to the pizzeria. Since it was a weekday there weren't many people in the shop.

"Hey, Sky come here please, I have something for you," Jason said.

When she walked over he handed her the skill book he had gotten from the monsters he had beaten yesterday. When she saw what it was she immediately gasped.

"This is a high-level skill book, why are you giving it to me?" Skylar knew that this skill book could be easily sold for at least a couple million credits or if not Jason could use it himself, yet Jason was just giving it to her, it was something she truly didn't understand.

"I am yet to awaken so there is no use for me to have it, besides if you were ever to get into danger I would feel much better if you had this skill to keep you safe so no more arguing and just use it," Jason said.

When he said this Skylar started to blush and mumbled, "fine I'll use it you dummy."

When she touched the book a screen came up asking if she wished to learn the skill to which she pressed yes. The book glowed a light blue light that turned into a glowing orb that flew into Skylar's forehead. After that Jason returned back to work and when his shift was over he headed home till dark. When it was dark Jason decide to pay a visit to someone who might have information on the other three heroes he was supposed to find. However, he was extremely reluctant to do so but knew that there was no choice, so he equipped his gear which hid his face and then went towards downtown.

Amanda walked into her penthouse and was pouring her self a glass of wine when she felt a chill down her neck immediately she drew a staff out of her inventory but before she could even think about the spell she would use a man pressed a pure black dagger to her throat.

"Miss Green calm down I'm here to talk," the man said.

"Yeah, right then why would you need to wait at my house to speak with me," she said as she cast [Rebound] it was one of her unique spells. When she and the man were separated she spun around to launch a spell at the man but froze when she saw the man before her. "Shadow?"

She was shocked the most powerful man in the world was here before her, a man that would disappear after finishing his kills, and never even tried to speak with any of the other guild leaders.

"Yes it's me and I need a favor," Jason said. "I need you to look out for people who claim to be one of the 4 heroes."

Amanda was confused by the sudden request but still, she managed to regain her composer saying "I can do what you want but first I want to know have you collected all 100 Shadow Shards?"

This was one of the biggest mysteries that had to be solved.

"Indeed, I have," Jason answered seeing no reason to hide this fact.

When he said this Amanda knew that man truly was the strongest.

"Then does that mean you are able to enter the Cracks?" She asked.

She had to know if that really was the requirement however when she said this Jason was taken aback, could he now enter the Cracks he hadn't tried but he knew anytime that someone tried they received a message saying they had yet to fulfill the requirement.

"I will leave this burner phone here with you when you gather information contact me on that," Jason said before he melted into the shadows leaving Amanda standing there unsure of what really just happened.
