Darkness Control

Jiang Han gazed at the system prompt, finding it unexpectedly intriguing.

"Ding! ~"

System Prompt: Your title "Fallen" has advanced to "Dark Dominator," and your attributes have changed!

Opening the character panel once again, Jiang Han looked at the various values, feeling refreshed and sensing a significant improvement in his strength —

[Dark Dominator · Jiang Han Shui] (Silver-grade BOSS)

Level: 21

Health: 26,250

Attack: 1157-1220

Defense: 164-174

Prestige: 18,000

Luck: 1

Introduction: As a traitor to the Light faction, Jiang Han Shui, with the assistance of his mentor Daniel, has gradually grown in prominence. Ambitious and daring, he seeks to control the darkness. Brave adventurers, slay him, and he shall bring astonishing benefits to you!

...

"This attack... I doubt I could one-shot myself." Jiang Han marveled.

It could be said that dominance was truly overwhelming. With a final attack increase of 50%, coupled with the formidable killing techniques of the early stage, the 200 points of attack, and the Golden-grade weapon, the Cold Cloud Sword, had completely thrown his balance of health, attack, and defense into chaos!

Of course, this was also related to allocating all the freely assigned attribute points to attack.

Next, Jiang Han glanced at the new title, Dark Dominator, and couldn't help but smirk, "Indeed, the protection of the Demon God is comparable to unlimited resurrection!"

[Dark Dominator]: Final health increased by 150%.

In the early stages, the true power of the Demon God's protection had not yet been fully revealed. As the values expanded to a certain extent, its strength would become even more formidable.

Observing Jiang Han's character panel, Daniel's expression turned peculiar, "Kid, it seems the talent skill you acquired is extraordinary!"

"All thanks to your excellent guidance." Jiang Han praised.

"Hmm."

Daniel nodded, acknowledging, "Indeed."

Jiang Han: "..."

"Now, your attack is already very powerful, but your defense is truly lacking." Before Jiang Han could complain, Daniel continued, "Your armor is too poor. You need to do more for the Shadow City."

"What should I do next?" Jiang Han knew that Daniel was about to issue a task.

"Recently, there have been adventurers sneaking around near the Shadow City. I don't know their purpose, but since they belong to the Light faction, we cannot let them easily return alive. Go and kill them, contribute to the Shadow City."

"Ding! ~"

System Prompt: Do you accept the mission "Clearing Adventurers" (Difficulty: B)?

"Yes!"

Jiang Han agreed.

He originally thought Daniel would send him to deal with other monsters, but unexpectedly, it was players. However, he welcomed it.

Killing players was good; experience came quickly!

Although it was more dangerous, the wanted status of the Light faction probably wouldn't be lifted, and he would have to face it sooner or later.

Soon, the system prompted him that he had accepted the task.

[Clearing Adventurers] (Difficulty: B)

Introduction: Since joining the Dark faction, adventurers from your world are considered enemies. Killing them is a proof of loyalty to the Dark faction and will also bring rich rewards.

Task Requirements: Kill 500 adventurers

Task Rewards: ???

"Mentor, can you provide me with some potions?" Jiang Han asked.

Potions could save lives, and the healing potions Daniel had given him were almost used up. He needed to find a way to get more.

"Previously, it was part of the task rewards that I could give you for free. Now, if you want potions, you'll need to trade for them." Daniel shook his head, "But as your mentor, I can give you a 30% discount!"

"Thank you, mentor."

As Jiang Han expressed his gratitude, a panel appeared before him —

[Healing Potion]

Introduction: A precious potion with a price that ordinary people cannot afford.

Effect: Restore 500 health points per second for 10 seconds

Cooldown: 30 seconds

Price: 35 silver coins

[Life Elixir]

Introduction: Perhaps on the brink of life and death, one can rely on it to survive by luck.

Effect: Restore 1000 health points per second for 10 seconds

Cooldown: 30 seconds

Price: 70 silver coins

...

So expensive!

Jiang Han was astonished.

Even with a 30% discount, the Life Elixir still cost 70 silver coins, and its original price was as high as 1 gold coin!

This wasn't selling potions; it was practically robbing!

Opening his inventory, Jiang Han saw that he had just over five gold coins. He reluctantly said, "Five Life Elixirs and four Healing Potions!"

The effects of different potions could not be stacked, so he preferred Life Elixirs, even though they were twice as expensive. The healing effect was also twice as strong, without any disadvantage.

...

Having received the task and purchased potions, Jiang Han left the Lord's Mansion, ready to search for traces of players near the Shadow City. As for Daniel, he was engrossed in researching potions.

Leaving the city gates, he strolled around, waiting for players to discover his location.

Suddenly, he felt the surroundings darken, immersed in shadow. In the distance, however, the sun was shining brightly, and above him, it seemed that something was blocking the sun.

Raising his head, Jiang Han's pupils contracted, seeing a silver dragon soaring low in the sky.

"Roar!"

The deafening roar echoed across the wilderness, and the skeletal soldiers within the Shadow City all prostrated under the tremendous dragon might.

The silver dragon was agile, its massive body blocking out the sky, yet its speed was as swift as an arrow. In almost the instant Jiang Han noticed it, it had already gone far away, seemingly uninterested in paying attention to the ants below.

"Hmm?"

Atop the dragon's head, a slender silver-haired man frowned slightly.

"Sir, what's wrong?" The silver dragon noticed the man's change in expression and couldn't help but ask.

The silver-haired man shook his head, "Nothing, I just felt an extremely evil aura that vanished in an instant. However, powerful demons like that shouldn't appear in this area. Perhaps it was just an illusion."

"Do you want to go back and check?"

"The mission is more important." The silver-haired man shook his head, "Even if it's a demon, I can defeat it. However, stopping them from leaving would be difficult. There's no need to waste time."

"Understood."

...

After a while, Jiang Han finally snapped back to reality, licking his lips, "If I could ride that dragon, it would be so cool."

Any hot-blooded man would long to become a formidable Dragon Knight!

Moreover, in almost every game, dragons were extremely top-tier mounts. Players could only have the opportunity to ride dragons in the late stages of the game.

"Swoosh..."

Suddenly, Jiang Han heard faint footsteps by his ear.

Turning his gaze, he saw a thief player stealthily following him.

[Adultery Expert] (Novice Thief)

"Oh no, he's too close, I've been discovered!" The player seemed to be using the communication function, his face changing immediately. Then

, as if realizing something, he exclaimed, "My goodness, Jiang Han Shui... he... he..."

On the other end of the call, his companion hurriedly asked, "What happened to him?"

"He actually turned into a Silver-grade BOSS!"

The Adultery Expert was dumbfounded.

Players are supposed to play the role of adventurers, how could they turn into BOSSes?
