Villain debut

Over the course of the next days Hermann realized that his Creation and Control Skills were limiting his potential. With that being the case he tirelessly trained them until reaching the stage were he could influence atoms and energy outside his body.

To relieve boredom and stop falling behind in other things he began hone his Martial Arts and train his body at daytime outside and train his secret creation and control at night. By stopping to sleep trough the constant supply of energy and matter he could save time and fully dedicate himself to training.

This behavior of his continued until he felt that he lacked real combat experience to efficiently train his Martial Arts and so after a few years of training he switched his training around and practiced his Creation and Control Skills during the day and at night he ran around the city to hunt criminals as soon as he turned three years old.

To aid in this matter he asked his system for hunting Quests as well as general rewards for defeating other beings. As his requests were reasonable the system agreed as his efforts would aid in his growth which was the sole reason for the systems existence and its quest creation.

Due to his greed for more system points as well as proud feeling of seeing his own continuous improvement he continued these hunts. He only stopped for going to libraries to acquire new books, going for walks to calm down his worried caretakers that told him that shutting himself in his room is bad for his health or attending mandatory excursions with the rest of the kids as soon as everyone in his age group turned three years and their interest in the outside world grew.

His regular hunts not only alerted the criminals in the city but also the local heroes. Especially since nobody knew who he was. He just appeared, stabbed the criminals in their headquarters with a sharp knife, that he had taken from the kitchen when one one had been watching one day, which killed them after some time, stole their goods and money and disappeared. With his abilities he later scanned the molecular structure of the objects he had stolen and saved them in his memories. Few survived through hiding and their traumatized self's could only report that they saw a shadow killing everyone and dyeing everything around him in blood. Through this Hermann gained the villain name 'Blood Shadow' that terrorized the small organizations.

Hermanns method of being undetectable was actually pretty simple. When he went through his 'mental library' to search for methods that would allow him to conceal his identity he stumbled across a lesson from the beginning of his physic classes and his memories about the unknown being he had encountered. It was the fact that the could only see the reflection of light on objects. So to make himself 'invisible' he simply absorbed all light rays that collided with his body thus resulting in a being seen solely as a void like shadow exactly opposite to the being. That combined with his stealth was truly a terrifying sight to witness.

As a relaxation between training sessions during the day he went around the city and searched for fights between villains and heroes. In his raids he had seldom seen villains or heroes as he observed his targets for a long period of time to ensure the absence of villains as well as hurrying in accomplishing his goals to escape before the heroes arrived so as to avoid unnecessary attention. Additionally after his first raid in which he killed everyone present he would probably locked up as a psychopath.

The most difficult kill was his first where he had captured a gang member, tortured him by breaking his bones with large stones without spilling too much blood after he had cut the mans tendons in his legs and arms to gain every possible information and finally killed him to keep his identity safe. Afterwords he had vomited as he had never killed or tortured anyone before. But after the first few killings that were still problematic for the young boy he quickly grew accustom to it. He wasn't really enjoying it, it was just easier and faster compared to capturing and with that the most convenient way to clean up trash. It wasn't as though they hadn't killed a few people either. With that being the case he saw it as a necessary action for himself and others to get rid criminal activity. The greatest problem for him for him was the fact that he was merely as tall as the hips of the criminals he hunted which forced him to sneak up behind them and jump to hit them in vital areas. Whenever possible he tried to jump from higher elevations to cut their throat if possible. At that time he gained first Title: Assassin which gave him 3 STA as well as two levels for his Sneak Skill. In the past he had tried various methods to aquire a title but just one small decision he took gifted it to him.

And so he continued his training towards greatness and invincibility.
