MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

My gaze was on Fenrir who was forcefully held by Kilgros. It seemed as if his eyes were watery.

Chuckling at his demise I thought it's about time to get down to business.

" Excuse me, Can we start? "

I coughed while taking the aggro of the dwarf.

" Yes, yes... "

Kilgros murmured, letting go of Fenrir. As soon as my familiar felt the hand around his neck disappeared he dashed towards me and hid behind my back.

Seeing his actions another chuckle escaped from my lips, but I quickly got hold of myself and spoke to the blacksmith.

" I'd like for you to make a Shadow Cloak "

As soon as Kilgros heard my words he almost flipped over the chair he was sitting on.

" Do you even know what you are talking about? "

He almost yelled at me as he became slightly irritated. It's widely known that items made from Shadow property are one of the hardest to make and will not hold for long, because of their weird ability to drain users HP continuously.

' This brat probably heard about the Shadow Items and ran straight to my house dumbass '

The blacksmith thought as my value in his eyes dropped by a large margin.

" Yes, I do understand what I'm talking about and I need the cloak made as soon as possible "

I reassured Kilgros hoping that it's enough for him to start working.

Unfortunately his personality was more stubborn than I thought.

" I will not make an Item that will hurt his owner "

At this point in time I wanted to punch Kilgros in the face. We've already spent half an hour just going back and forth, why should he or shouldn't he make the item?

Sighing in defeat I decided to show him some proof.

I made Shadow energy pass through my hand and concentrate on my palm.

Click...

A quiet sound echoed across the room garnering attention from the dwarven blacksmith.

As soon as he noticed the magic, he was skeptical, but upon further inspection his mouth turned wide open.

" It.. Can't be.... "

He stuttered while his eyes were quickly shifting from me to my palm.

Kilgros has worked with Items which had a Shadow attribute, but it was hard. One needed to do special preparation for ingredients and always work in the dark.

These items were powerful and had better attributes and even special skills, but they consumed users' HP.

The Shadow energy was wild and powerful and not even the strongest mage could control it. How come, the boy before him could use the element without a sweat.

" What kind... of mage are you? "

Still stuttering he managed to make a sentence.

' Bingo '

I thought while the corners of my lips unknowingly curled up. " I am a Shadow Mage and I can control the Shadow energy "

From my previous life I knew that Kilgros is not a person to share his clients secrets. That knowledge allowed me to be absentminded around his presence and not be scared of any information leaving the room.

After my confession Kilgros was just staring at me. Without any words his gaze scanned me to see if I'm lying.

Few minutes passed and he sighed in defeat.

" I'll make you a Cloak, any Shadow item you want, if you prove me you're truly a Shadow Mage "

This didn't surprise me as I expected this.

' What could I show... I could throw a few Shadow Blasts, but seeing his stoic face it wouldn't be enough, huh... Well, I'll just show him my Realm "

I finally came to a conclusion. Since I wouldn't need my Realm in the upcoming hours I didn't mind showing it.

' Shadow Realm '

I called out my ultimate spell while a small smile was playing on my lips.

' I look cool, Don't I? '

My Shadow started expanding in all sides covering the whole house and further beyond in shadows creating a dorm. Everything around went silent only leaving the sound of my footsteps.

I was now in the backyard of Kilgros house and was showing how I can bend my Realm boosting my Attributes and spells. My dark eyes were shining in the dark giving me a cool, yet bone chilling look.

Few minutes passed and I felt that it was enough for the Shadow. Calling my skill back I saw all the shadows absorbed and turning back into my original Shadow.

1️⃣ Shadow Realm <Lv.1>→ <Lv.2>

~ +5% Spell Damage [ While inside the realm ]

~ +5% Cooldown reduction

-- Can now mask himself in the shadows [ While in the realm ]

~~~~

I smiled while looking at the system. Even though it wasn't unexpected I was glad that the trump card I've got became more powerful.

After all the shadows were gathered I shifted towards Kilgros with a visible question portrayed in my eyes.

' Is this enough? '

Fortunately it seemed it was plenty, because the blacksmith was still in stupor after my presentation.

He leaned on his house's wall and took a few deep breaths. Expressions on his face were unreadable, but I could tell he's in awe.

' Well it's not everyday that one meets an Unique class mage '

I shrugged my shoulders and sat under the apple tree with the intention to regain my lost Shadow Energy while the dwarf collected his thoughts.

After a half and hour that seemed more like a few minutes I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and opened my eyes.

Kilgros was patting my shoulder while gesturing me to stand up.

" I'll need you to help with the design "

he said and walked back into the house without any further words.

' He's still shocked '

I stood up and followed him into his house. As soon as I entered I saw Kilgros opening the basement and descending down the stairs.

Tailing him I also came downstairs only to be met by a heat wave that seemed to drain all the water inside my body.

' The smithy of the Legendary blacksmith... '

I thought while looking around the huge room.

' This will be fun! '
