"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].

A new world opened before his eyes, one of darkness and strange creatures. Shadestep allowed him to take a single step through this world, which was infinitely bigger than Elaris. Cedric could see everything around him slow down as he jumped toward Ember.
In this new and unrecognizable world, mana was his sole shield against the harsh climate. Cedric reached Ember in the next instant, appearing next to her. The shadow of Edward jumped from his Umbra Mark and shielded him from the third eye.
Ember resumed her movement as the eye could no longer pinpoint her. Cedric grabbed her and fell to the ground, evading the attack of ice and fire in the last instant. He carried his retainer in his embrace as he landed on the ground, sliding across the rough floor.
