"Teacher, why does the Church call summoners evil?" The priest’s voice was grim. "Because they defy the gods. They summon horrors that devour worlds. It is not just power—it is corruption given form." A student hesitated. "But could one not use that power for—" “Silence!” The priest’s eyes burned with fervor. “There is no redemption for a summoner. And now, they speak of the worst of them all—a Summoner of Shadows. A heretic who will plunge the world into eternal darkness. He is the epitome of evil, and when he rises, he will destroy us all.” ————————————————- [New Extra Character Registered… Cedric Everhart.] [The Extra System has initiated.] Awakening as Cedric Everhart, ninth prince and prisoner, he carries a curse: the most reviled class in existence—[Summoner of Shadows].

Each segment of the forty-meter-long creature oozed a green acidic poison, which seemed to disable its enemies and kill them. Cedric was unafraid as he met the Ebonwyrm head-on, deciding to use nothing but his fists and new physique.
The Ebonwyrm rushed forward, surrounding Cedric within its body and beginning to close the encirclement. Before the spikes could pierce through his body, Cedric jumped high to avoid the attack.

The darts struck his arms and failed to penetrate his skin, making Cedric raise his brows in surprise. The Ebonwyrm seemed confused as its thousand eyes stared at him with bewilderment.
A strange warmth surged through his body, making Cedric feel stronger than before. As he landed on the ground, the Ebonwyrm whipped its body toward him.
