The Shadow Thief

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!

I DIDN'T MEAN IT

    I staggered to a corner, clutching the wall with one hand for support as I vomited. The bile burned my throat, and the acid smell mixed with the cold air around me. I couldn't believe those thoughts were mine – those actions were mine. The things I'd done were unforgivable, and yet, a part of me still craved more destruction, urging me to go on a rampage and raze this city to the ground. This skill was corrupting me, gnawing away at my humanity.

Wiping my trembling hand across my lips, I tried to steady my breath. I leaned the back of my head against the wall, staring at the ceiling, haunted by the chaos I had unleashed upon the city. My heart pounded against my ribcage, each beat a reminder of the monster I was becoming.

"No, no, no," I muttered, the words tumbling out in a desperate plea. "That wasn't me. No. Shit."
