CHAPTER 3

After I got my mother's body, I started to do the daily quest. It took me a few hours to complete the whole task, and when the task was over, I couldn't move anymore, and all my muscles ached.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the daily task.]

[Rewards:

[Status Recovery +2]

[Stat Points +6]

[Random Box +2]

(The rewards have been doubled as extra rewards.)]

"Accept the 1st reward."

[Your condition has been improved.]

Immediately after, it was as if my body was covered with a golden light, and all my tiredness and aches were gone as if they had never existed.

[You still have 1 Status recovery. Random boxes have been moved to inventory. You can assign your stat points.]

"Status."

[Name: Solas Himejima]

[Job: Shadow Monarch]

[Title: None]

[Hp: 50/50] [Level: 1]

[Mp: 40/40] [Fatigue: 0]

[Strength: 7] [Vitality: 5]

[Agility: 5] [Intelligence: 4]

[Sense: 20]

[Remaining Points: 36]

"10 points to intelligence, 6 points to vitality, and 10 points to strength and 10 points to agility. For now, I don't want to put too many points on sense. After all, my other stats are now in disrepair."

[Remaining Points: 36---->0]

[Strength 7---->17]

[Agility 5---->15]

[Vitality 5---->11]

[Hp 50---->110]

[Intelligence 4---->14]

[Mp 40---->140]

I could already feel a muscle increase in my body, as if I could do the exercise I just did in half the time. And I began to notice Mana more easily, and I became aware of a magic power flowing out of me.

"Those stat points are a really cool thing."

After that, I went into the house that was in shambles and started looking for useful things. I found a few knives in the kitchen and threw them in my inventory. While I was looking for the house, I was waiting for my father to come. He had promised to come after all. Whenever we were in trouble, he promised to come no matter what.

Hours passed and it was night, but still no sign of my father. The weather was starting to cool. I was starting to get cold as I was wearing the daily clothes I wear at home and my shirt was already cut by the sword, but I continued to wait patiently.

The moon was overhead, midnight had already arrived, but my father had not. I wasn't feeling sorry for myself, but I was wondering about Akeno. It was cold and she was busy escaping outside, but I had a feeling that Akeno would be fine, I don't know why, but she would be fine.

While I was waiting, it was starting to get light and my father had not come. My daily quest was reactivated and I finished the quest to pass the time and assigned 2 of my 3 stat points to vitality and 1 to sense.

Then it occurred to me to search for the bodies of the people who attacked the house, and I found some money, a few swords and a few kunai from their bodies. I collected them all because the quality of the materials is better than the knives at home.

I also used shadow extraction on all bodies where I could use shadow extraction, but I was successful only on 2 of them.

"I'm too weak to take the others."

After that, I started training with the swords, kunai and knives I collected. Swords and knives were relatively easy, but kunai were more difficult. I continued training until I received a confirmation from the system.

[Passive skill [Advanced Dagger Arts: Lv1] has been acquired.]

[Passive skill [Advanced Sword Arts: Lv1] has been acquired.]

I could feel my progress in each of them. Each one seemed to become easier to use. Afterwards, when I looked at the sky, I realized that it was about to get dark. I had no idea how long I had been working, I was so caught up in myself that I lost my sense of time.

But there was a fact that it was getting dark and my father had not come.

"Open random boxes."

[You have won 1 item [protective clothing against cold and heat] from a random box.]

[You have won 1 [dungeon key] from a random box.]

"The outfit is just what I need."

I changed my clothes and felt the difference as soon as I put them on. It was starting to get cold, but I didn't feel it at all.

[Item: Dungeon Key]

[Item Class: E]

[Type: Key]

(A key that allows you to create an instant dungeon.)

"Is this dungeon thing something like those games that Azazel talked about once? So it would be much better not to enter now. I don't know how strong I am right now, so I don't want to go into the dungeon now and die."

Then, through my senses, I felt something approaching, and when I turned, I noticed a flying shikigami in the air.

At first I hoped it would be my father, but my hope faded when I realized that the thing in the air was a shikigami. My mother taught me the function of this bird-type shikigami, it was a shikigami for spying.

I didn't know who it belonged to, but I had to destroy it.

"Destroy it." After my answer, one of my shadow soldiers jumped out of my shadow towards Shikigami.

Of course, I knew the soldier wouldn't be able to reach it. That's why I actually sent the soldier to block the shikigami's field of vision. And I took out one Kunai and started channeling my mana into my arm. And I threw it at Shikigami with full force. Since the shikigami to spy on were the weakest, my mana-enhanced kunai pierced through the shikigami and the Shikigami disintegrated into pieces.

"I guess they know I'm alive now. I can't stay here any longer."

I took what I needed to get and threw them into my inventory and left home and headed into the woods to embark on my own journey. The cities were too dangerous, I could be seen and attacked by Himejima or someone from another clan at any time, but in the jungle this was less likely and with my shadow soldiers I could at least be more comfortable in the jungle.

---------------------------------------

(Himejima Clan)

The clan leader and other council members were watching the footage from Shikigami. Each of them turned pale.

"What was that black thing!?"

"Do I look like I know?!"

"Didn't that black thing look like one of the assassins we sent?!"

"What about that dirty-blooded brat who actually controls that black thing?! I've seen that brat before, it wasn't like this!!"

When everyone watching saw Solas and the shadow soldiers, they started an argument in chaos.

"What do you mean 'this brat wasn't like this'?!"

"That brat could barely move before! And his eyes were light brown like Shuri. Now he has Heterochromia (Grey and Red) eye color!

"This brat must have used evil ways, there is no other explanation for it. I think we should tell the other clans and get this brat a search target!"

"Enough!! We're not issuing a warrant, we'll be disgraced among the Five Master Clans if the news comes out that we missed this brat and that the Himejima clan couldn't even catch a child. The news of this brat will not come out of this clan and other clan members outside will be informed. They should either kill this brat when they see it or bring it here." It was Suou Himejima, the current head of the clan and Shuri's uncle, who gave this order.

(Mc)

I knew there was a stream in the forest and I had to store water so I started looking for it. I rushed there until I heard the sound of water, and when I found the creek, I was about to refill a few bottles I bought from home when I saw my reflection on the water surface.

"What the hell is that!? What happened to my face?!"

My face had become so smooth, I had a face like a model. My old light brown eyes were gone and replaced by a Grey-Red heterochromia eye. My already black hair had changed to a much darker black color. And I became more handsome, to say the least.

After admiring my face on the water surface for a while, I gathered myself, prepared my water supply and made my way into the forest.

==============================

Hello dear readers, yes I have started a new story. Don't worry I didn't drop Tensura System, Reincarnated into anime or Dragon system. I just try new things and write whenever a story idea comes to mind. There will be disruptions in the chapters due to the fact that I enter the university and move from the family home to the dormitory. I'm studying German language and literature and the school I entered is a bit annoying. Who makes a quiz from week 2?! They make me very angry.
