I say "Oh, I might love to listen to it you say? Alright then go ahead and tell me, you have gotten me intrigued now." The Shadow Beast then begins to explain "I am the creature that rules over this void, I am part of this void and it is a part of me, I am nothing yet I am everything at the same time, just as this Void is."

The Shadow Beast pauses for a moment then continues with an even wider grin "I am a part of the darkness magic, and also a part of what is needed to create any magic at all, without me you would have never been able to bring magic back into that world, I am per say, the medium required for you to make and use magic at all due to my connection to the Void and you're darkness magic uses it."

The Shadow Beast pauses and then continues again "Not all of the darkness magic utilizes the Void, some could utilize the shadows that are caused by light, in fact that could be thought of as a different magic all together if it didn't use magic particles in the same way that darkness magic uses them." I say "Wow, that's a lot to take in."

I pause for a moment after thinking of something and then say "Wait, if you are part of the Void and nothing yet everything and the Void is the same, then doesn't that mean when I create magic, shouldn't I be able to create a magic that lets me enter it and leave as I wish or even create separate spaces like mini voids to put people in or items in and even use it to alter reality itself to my liking?"

The Shadow Beast then says "Sadly even the Void has its limits on what it can do, but once you gain more control over the Void you will gain more uses from it, however, the Void is mysterious in many ways, its as if it has a mind of its own some times, it will either let you get stronger and better uses from it, or it will let you get completely random and odd uses, its unpredictable what it will allow."

The Shadow Beast sighs and then says "It pretty much determines how you progress and since it determines what strengths you get from it that also means it could determine your fate by giving you a spell that could kill you as a cost of casting it without you knowing what it does, it's pretty much a suicide game you're playing with the Void but the way you're playing it, it seems you're fine."

I say "Huh, well alright, then I guess there's nothing I can really do about that for now, anyway I guess I'm just gonna have to stay in here until I wake up huh." The Shadow Man says "Yeah, I guess so, hey want to play some Shogi?" I say "Sure, why not I have nothing be-" before I could finish my sentence a bunch of darkness starts to slowly engulf my body.

The Shadow Man then says "Oh, well it looks like you're already waking up, time seems to go faster in here than in that world sometimes ha, it's really random what pace time will go, sometimes its slow other times its fast. Anyway, I guess it's goodbye for now, we will see you again sometime. Though I don't know if it will just be me next time or if it will be both me and him."

They both say goodbye to me and then the darkness fully engulfs my body. A few seconds later my eyes start to open and I notice that I am lying on the bed in my room. It seems someone carried me here after Lano cast the sleep spell on me, the pain in my head is also gone now. I get up and put on some new clothes and then head downstairs.

I am immediately greeted by Lucy at the bottom of the stairs who runs up to me and gives me a hug. Lucy then bombards me with a crap ton of questions about me being okay and my health. I just tell her I'm fine now and ask her where Lano is, she tells me that he is in the strategy room and once I hear that, I walk back up the stairs and enter the strategy room.

As soon as I enter I see Lano and Kevik sitting across from each other at the rectangular table in the middle of the room. I say "Hey Lano whats wrong, why are you both in this room?" Lano coughs and then says "W-Well my lord, we just got word from Rein Strevus about a 'danger' that is heading this way."

I say "A 'danger', and what exactly is this 'danger' that is heading towards us?" Lano swallows some spit before saying "M-My lord, it appears that the three strongest adventurers from the adventurer's guild in the capital of Satoos are heading this way t-to try to d-defeat you my lord." I say "WHAT THE HELL, WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T HE TRY TO STOP THEM?"

Lano then says "Well my lord, he said he wants to see how you will handle this situation on your own, he didn't give any more details." I calm down a bit and say "Alright, when do you think they will arrive?" Lano says "About an hour or two my lord, they are on foot but they apparently were going to leave early this morning so it should be about an hour or two until they arrive, the sun just rose."

I say "Alright, come with me we must prepare, Kevik go get Lucy and Will and meet us by the fountain in the middle of the village." I am actually worried, I have gotten back yet another feeling, the feeling of worry, I did not miss this one very much.
