After crossing his eleventh year, Nacht was constantly working to build up his organization. They recruited many members, primarily those who were neglected by society.
But out of all these members, only one proved good enough to be in Shadow Spades. Yes, that's what Nacht Decided to call the Elites of Shadow Garden.
First, Spade was Alpha, aka Ersty Shadow, and the second Spade was Beta, aka Lys Shadow. So far, they have found only one other person worthy enough to join their ranks.
Her code name was Omicron, and she was recruited as a Spatial Mage for the whole organization for their travels. Especially for Nacht as he is going to go on a journey.
She was a bastard abandoned daughter of a Noble house. One could even blame the dumbness of these people who kicked the hidden gem that was Omicron.
And just like others, she also reveres Mr. Shadow like a god. After all, he was such a monovalent and pure being that he could win over hearts in a second.
Also, Omicron was in charge of all the inner workings and logistics of the Shadow Garden. So far, this organization remains mysterious and slowly taking over the market. With so many people and talents, the sail was going smoothly.
The thing Nacht now needed the most was to recruit some more Spades, just like he imagined.
But the original problem was where he should start from. Right now, he was around the west of Common Realm, really close to the Heart Kingdom. But before he left the country, he wanted to search for talents in the Clover Kingdom.
In the Clover Kingdom, social status depended on the person's place of birth and the amount of mana. So naturally, the least amount of talent and mana was in the Forsaken Realm, where small barren villages like Hage were.
But the forsaken realm also hides the gems like Ersty or in the cannon, Yuno, and Asta, where the magic knights never looked. But the probability of finding anyone there is low, but not impossible.

After pondering a while, Nacht decided to check out the left side of the Forsaken Realm, which lies on the left-hand side of the Saussy Village.
Venturing into the Heart Kingdom would be hard too. The whole kingdom has been in the protection of the water spirit Undine for generations. Nacht has to hide his connections with Devils if he wants to come alive out of here.
According to the timeline, Lolopechka should just be around 3 years now. And the whole kingdom should be in the hands of the water spirit.
With that thought, Nacht entered the Omicorn's portal and teleported to Saussy village of the forsaken realm.

While Nacht went on his journey of greatness, back in his HQ, Alpha, Beta, and Omicron were in a meeting with each other. Trying to discuss the future plans to grow the Shadow Garden.
"Master is working so hard for us, we ought to do something to increase our value too," Alpha said with a tone that meant 'I am not fucking kidding right now.'
"Yes, I agree, if this continues, all work will always be done by Master Shadow, and we will just be useless," Omicron stated
"I don't want that. Does anyone have an idea our poor Master is sacrificing his pure childhood for this world" Beta added
"I do have an idea. Master himself gave me this idea when he was telling me a bedtime story," Alpha said while blushing.
""What is it?"" Both girls asked Alpha with eager eyes when she stated it was Shadow's idea.
"Master said this about a drink... I think a potion that revitalizes the body. He called it an energy drink, I don't know much about it, but he said, 'Ah~ I wish I could create a RedBull that actually gives wings,'" Alpha said with a serious tone.
Hearing this, Omicron chimed in, "You idiot, he is just testing us," she said with a beaming all-knowing smile. She was pretty proud of her intellect, a prodigy of a noble house. Her intellect was one of the reasons she lived a miserable life.
"What do you mean?" Beta asked. Everyone knew of this girl's sharp mind. According to her strategy, they were doing great in acquiring many businesses and gaining influence and wealth. Moreover, she single-handedly takes care of the logistics department.
"Listen, don't you think Master leaving us doesn't make any sense? Why would he leave his created organization when it just started getting on its legs?"
Hearing this, Alpha got angry. "I don't know why Master did this, but if you are questioning him. I'll cut you down!!"
Omicron flinched a little. Everyone in Shadow Garden feared Alpha. Due to her Half Elf bloodline, she was the most powerful mage in the organization after Shadow. And over that, she was devoutly loyal to Shadow; she considered him her god.
"Just hear me out!!" Omicron said
Both of the girls became silent and gestured for Omicron to speak.
"Master left the organization on our management because he wants us to grow strong enough to help him. Just like Beta said, he does the most in this organization right now, but after a few years, we will become his shackles rather than support."
Both of their faces darkened when Omicron mentioned it
"But master left us with a task, like a test, to develop a Mana Potion that revitalizes one person." She added
"But he really wanted to give wings or something," Alpha replied with confusion
"Let us hear her out first, Alpha," Beta said with a pondering look.
"Yes, Master said he wants to give wings. And wings make us fly, right; in normal words, he wants to give people more mana so they can fly with magic. So it's a mana potion, the product named RedBull."
Both girls were genuinely thankful for Omicron for this derivation of their Master's oracle. Had it not been her here, they would have failed the test without knowing about it.
Omicron continued, "The second interpretation could be he wants the people to give metaphorical wings, to help them attain freedom. That was the purpose of the Shadow Garden, to give the people freedom from devils."
Both of the girls shared gasps of surprise with this revelation. Their Master was truly kind and omniscient. All his words contained multiple hidden meanings. Their reverence just increased by incomprehensible numbers for their Master.
"Let us start the development of this 'Energy Drink' this will let us enter into the main market. We have time till master returns from his journey."
All of them nodded their heads after confirming the details of the operation RedBull
*Achhhou~* "Damn man, why am I feeling chilly today," Said Nacht as he felt a sudden chill run down his body

[A/N: Omicron is an average English teacher who finds incomprehensible meaning between sentences. Also, this chapter is in no way a promotion or endorsement by RedBull. Idk, if you guys find this name annoying then I can change it, lmao
We are charting on top 100 in all FF categories!!]
