I do realize I didn't explain much about it, in theory each world has a mirror dimension.
If the room you were is dark and gloomy, the mirror dimension will be shiny and blinding.
The mirror dimension has all the mirror reflections of the room you are in the trick is
that you cannot open a door from this world, unless it's opened from the other side.
Mirror reflection Npcs are like the total opposite of yourself and I'm not talking only
about stats. In simple words if you have trained to become a mage your mirror image
will be closer to a warrior in stats but his personality will be the opposite of yours.
The only thing that keeps him from killing you is that if you or he dies you both die.
People or Items who have lost their mirror reflection have two problems,
first they cannot see themselves in the mirror anymore and second they don't
know if their mirror reflection dies until the day they die.
Of course that's not a problem for Immortal bosses so Jenna didn't really care
although she will miss seeing her reflection in the mirror each morning.
=============================================================================
Today Chris woke happily ate and left for the TV studio, his contract would be ready today and he was sure of a healthy payment for the five months to be.
'Lets see what I will get out of this?'
Was what he thought as he read through the contract.
"Are you kidding me, here It says that
I will do exactly as you have said, the other words you can just tell me to delete my character, here you say that I must enter Allastar every time you want me to, even in the middle of the night, the other condition is providing the player of the TV channel with support, are you saying like giving them gold?"
The contract was So deviously made that the Director could easily report a breach in contract and fire him on the spot.
"If you don't change it I'll just go to another channel, fuck confidentiality, I'll just go to the other channel and just sabotage your channel for them to get better ratings, would you like that?"
The director's eyes were burning from anger, he thought he had found sucker but if he did even half than what he said, the director would lose not only his job, the whole channel would hate him for putting them at odds with one of the most dangerous players in Allastar, since the matter of him entering the Temple of light had already become known to them, but he could say nothing since he had no grip on him yet.
"Wait, we can talk about it, there are just ten points that are essential in the contract, first is the matter of your actions, you see we can't run after you throughout Allastar, while you can teleport here and there our people have to use boats and airships to travel around, and even our mages who can travel faster, won't be able to be there in time since they lack stamina"
"So for Point one, we can just prearrange the location and It's as good as fixed right, know that at night I sleep like all normal people"
"Well it's not the best way but it's a possible solution, but the second is a problem, your spells and fights have a high chance of killing our reporters, if you can do something about that then we can somewhat use you"

"Well that's also easy, I can just protect them with some shield or something"
"Can you really do that?"
"Who do you take me for, I just yesterday raided the Temple of light without causing a single casualty"
"About that, couldn't you have waited for our contract to be signed first?"
"No but I have a better Idea, how about just making a show about me, each week I will raid one place of Importance, which you will announce before time so that my enemies gather there It will be 1 show a week, for five months that's 15 Raids, I'll also do 1 extra boss fight once a week, starting with Zeiseg the Ork Giant"
"Do you have a plan in mind or will it be at random?"
Here's my planned actions, Darknym gave him a piece of paper with 15 poorly written locations and 14 bosses names.
"Can you read it for me, I don't seem to make it out the letters"
"Well It start's with Anchora's Capital at the end of the week, I'm mostly interested in the palace itself but I haven't a clean view of the city map yet, the Internet is a bit messy since store close and open, houses are build and crushed, but the three places of utmost Interest are the Nobles Quarters, the barracks and the Castle"
"Why the barracks?"
"I want some warrior chick, they tend to have more pride than town people in the game"
"Will you be going to the undead next?"
"Nope I'm going to the elves, of course that's after my duel with Zeiseg for Gloom the giant chick I had fought"
"I've planned it in three days time, from now so if you won't have a contract ready, it's you who will be losing down on this"
"So you will be In the orkish mountains first and then to Anchora?"
"Well that's the general plan for the week to come"
"Could we have some material for the Advertisements?"
"Under two conditions, first I want the contract only Involving tree points, I don't want any restrictions to what I do and where I go on my free time, those fights will be unimpressive anyway, second I want the reporters to wait at my city, each time before the events, from where I will teleport us to the location of the show, Lastly I don't want any of the reporters to be people I know, it might blow my cover and I will have to do stupid stunts like fighting with the fake cousin again"
"By the way what's the deal with the cousin?"
"He's stuck at the mage academy, doing some studying, although I don't know what he wants from the magic council, probably some dimension creating spell, since that's something I will be looking for in the future"
"Is he really a clone made of magic?"
"What does it matter anyway?"
"You see I would like to have you make a clone for me, it's a little embarrassing to say but it's a clone of Nancy you did make one before"
"I could but it takes 10% of my max Mp to keep it alive at all times, so it's a bit too overbearing but if the price is right I might consider the deal"
"That's what I like, but that's between us no one is to know of it right?"
"Listen, before that, can you make her change her character to something other than a gnome, it takes loads of magic Ingredients to change the form of an Npc and it's very time consuming"
Advertisement
"Well we could ask her since her character is becoming unpopular after your video of how she could be inside the game, what race are you thinking of"
"I saw a Quarter beastwoman, she was really sexy if you know what I mean,but don't leave the animal selection to her, she will probably select a tortoise"
Darknym said and they both laughed and Darknym came with an even better Idea.
"No wait, you can make her a wingman female, she doesn't have to change anything and the wings will add a little sex appeal as her back must be uncovered at all times"
"Are wingmen even a playable race?"
Asked the director.
"Then just make her look pretty and I can probably make something up for the wings with some enchanted artifact, lately I've been making rings with strange powers, I could make one for her to grow wings when she wants to"
"That would be practical, if our reporters had one of those we would be safe from danger"
"Nope, when the show begins area attacks will be a must, so I will come up with something special for each occasion"
"What about the boss fights and maybe teaching them some useful stuff"
"I will only teach stuff to those of my guild and if they join I won't let them resign afterwards, unless they delete their characters fully without the descendant system, you can ask if anyone wants to join"
"I will but don't await good results most of our reporters are already in guilds for information gathering purposes, it will be impossible to leave unless they delete themselves"
"It's their loss not mine, by the way I want a good pay that would take me through 5 years at least and also there's a chance of me doing some Interesting stuff in Destros if you are Interested I might contact you when the events will unfold, so I am accepting guild members there as well"
"Do you have anything Interesting in Altgaia, it's becoming a hot topic lately, a new hunter has been breaking havoc and the most strange thing is that he's a ninja using non conventional weapons like swords and the chain and sickle"
"Is he that great?"
"We don't know his opponents die real fast when they see him and there's been no one who's seen his name tag before dying"
"Well maybe I'll make a detective agency or something when my character ends the training stage"
"Ah you're just a beginner?"
"I don't have much Interest of a world that's much like our own"
"You probably don't know but Altgaia npcs are better in bed than Allastar ones that's a proven fact and also there are alien beauties that can do interesting stuff that feel better, not to say that Altgaia's pain limiter has been set to 20% so there's better interaction between players and Npcs"
"Destros is at 10% and falling while Allastar has as low as 2%, you mostly feel an Irritation when hit, although there were news that they wanted to raise it to 5% recently"
"Really I didn't know, I thought that the Cyborg was stronger than humans so it hurt that bad, as for Destros I just disregarded all damage thinking that it was the same 2% from Allastar, should have read more"
"So you didn't do any research and went and had a success in Allastar, well luck is also a skill they say"
They spend five hours discussing the contract, adding and deleting paragraphs and at last coming to an agreement.
The show would start in three days, In two days the reporters would gather at his city and stay there with full passage through the city till the gates of the tower.
Chris was given a reward that could buy him a car, the pay would be given each month after he had done his required stuff, but there were also some extra payment for gear and other things he could provide for the channel's reporters.
==============================================
In Allastar two women were waiting Darknym to teach him their art and leave his palace to continue their journey. When he appeared they were already there one with a drawn sword and the other standing on one leg.
"So you are back?"
Said Yu, standing on one leg with her eyes close and hands in some strange meditating pose. her shortly shaved hair and a karate gi, outlining her breast's.
"Why did it take you a day to come back, when you can just teleport, you just wasted one day from our lives"
Said Su, with her sword at hand in a defensive stance.
Her long black hair were tied behind her back and her white and red Hakama. like in the anime, her breasts were somewhat none existent but her face made up for it.
"Well I have gained a few days so we can play, why so angry anyway"
He said while smiling.
Su would have charged at him but Yu was holding her back, she probably knew what awaited her if she had attacked. Darknym had seen other oracles inside the game and was quite intrigued by the skill but when he had asked Irma, she said that he wouldn't be able to learn it. It probably had to do with some physical traits of the real life body.
In reality The oracle system was quite simple, at a high slowing speed it send messages of what you were thinking of doing, making the enemy see one step ahead at a time, while longer predictions only had a 70% of occurring, meaning that there were many things that could not be controlled by the game. It also explained why Jenna didn't know when he would come or why her prediction didn't come true, the 30% is unexpected player Interaction, while the 70% is the System percentage of Interaction with the prediction happening. In other world the system will do anything so that the prediction does happen in its own way.
"I will begin with Su's training since she is the most Impatient one"
Said darknym with a wicked smile
"Lets get on with it"
Said Su
"No, wait, we should do it together after I talk with Su about something"
Yu said with concern written all over her face about the future.
"You are really lucky Su for having such a great friend, go say your stuff I have some time to spare before I leave again"
He said to irritate her.
Unwillingly he heard what they were talking about since the room was large and empty their whispers rapidly reached his ears.
"Whatever you do you must practice patience, it's as much a lesson for him as it will be for you but remember one thing whatever you do don't give him any reason to keep you here as a slave"
Whispered Yu
"But the other two chicks don't seem to love him too much, one spends millions every day on stupid stuff and the other just hates his guts"
Exclaimed Su, probably talking about Velarial and Theo
"The two of them must be some special exception but we are probably not, if my predictions were right then you would already be crawling at his feet sucking his dick"
Said Yu angry at her words.
"So how will we start?"
Asked Su
"Teach him the Ki practitioner and I will teach him the Ki manipulation to a good enough rank, that would satisfy him and send him, wait, the future changed once more...I think he can hear us talking"
Whispered Yu even more silently than before.
"You know it's impolite to ear drop!"
"Don't care, since you are the ones who stood so close to talk amongst yourselves, and to speak of rudeness whispering in someone's presence would also be considered rude and no I don't think that just learning the professions will satisfy me, you probably have some skills of your own to teach and I highly doubt you only have one profession seeing as you are holding a sword"
Su's eyes were filled with terror at his revelations, she really didn't want to teach that man anything and he wanted to learn everything he could from them.
"Today I will let you stay at the palace as guests, that will allow you some time to think about how the teaching will go, If you try to trick me then there are two prisons with your names on them"
He said as he teleported to the casino for some cash and next went to the black market for some rare Ingredients for his spells and alchemy.
Afterwards he begun visiting one shop after the other leaving large amounts in their counters and abducting three beautiful shopkeepers at the same time, he also visited the smithies abducting another two beauties, He went further to the artificier district, which was full of gnomes and Isleplain people, you could discrete them from the Drogan barbarians by their size and from the plains people from their lightly tanned skin. He got another seven beauties and loads of supplies for his trainings to be that day. He later went to the Magic district, where he searched through every shop and corner for materials and spells but his eyes were now locked on three shops that sold runes and rune magic spells.
Traditionally only dwarves knew rune magic and the dwarves who knew only taught other dwarves, teaching a person other than a dwarf rune magic came with a large penalty of forgetting your profession. leaving both players in a strange predicament Darknym had another Idea. He entered the first shop and saw a rowdy dwarf with a brown beard, different color of beard signal a different dwarven race brown are the common dwarves,
He was about to speak when the dwarf said,
"Not selling to undwarvy races and particularly not to one of your kind"
"Is that so"
Darknym tried to cast the brainwash spell but it failed the first time, the dwarf was about to use some stone or something but Darknym paralyzed him with a really strong paralysis spell.
"I see high spell resistance, it just means that I have to try harder"
He used brainwash and added absolute loyalty and absolute obedience to the dwarf.
"What do you have to sell?"
"Rune patterns"
"What other Ingredients does a rune mage needs?"
"None"
'Perfect'
He though
"Can I buy all your patterns?"
"No"
"Why?"
"Because you are not a rune mage"
"What rune professions are there?"
"Rune smith, Rune mage and Rune master"
"What's the difference?"
"Rune smiths can create runic Artifacts, Rune mages can mage runes appear from thin air, Rune masters can manipulate existent runes at both Items and surfaces"
"Are you a Rune mage or are you all three at the same time?"
"All three are needed to be real rune mage"
"Teach me all of your professions then"
The dwarf taught him the three professions and three symbol appeared on the dwarf's head as if nothing happened.
"Now sell me all your patterns"
Darknym went to the next shop and with his brainwashing spell begun training his three professions to Apprentice. His merchant profession was growing really well from his shopping as he had reached master, he had of course a lot of skills to grind before he reached Archon but it was just a matter of time for a rich merchant to reach the peak of his profession.
His problem was he wasn't selling staff, He tried buying and selling wood but it didn't raise it too much although he bought and sold millions of 1 copper woods, for a quarter of its price at first, the problem was that his gains had to do with how much the skill rose.
Rising into Apprentice rune mage,smith and master was hard since he had too many professions and they were at the bottom of the list of professions only rising by 50,40 and 30% of what they normally would, if he wasn't a mage Archon it would have been even lower. He teleported the three dwarves to his magic laboratory and went on his way, he had Instructed the other two to teach the one with the symbols the profession anew since he had lost his. but the problem was that he now didn't have room for more than two professions.
Darknym went down the road and saw a flower girl, a small girl that sold flowers.
"Do you have a family?"
He asked her
She was reluctant to reply to the masked stranger but in the end she nodded with a yes.
"Take me to them"
She begun crying suddenly and people gathered around.
"Go back to your jobs!"
He shouted and the crowd dispersed. The girl looked surprised as if the whole crying thing was a hoax, it was probably the first time that someone didn't go away after that, but a guard did approach him instead.
"Who are you and what did you do to make Lily cry?"
"I asked her where her parents are"
He said and the guard looked sad.
"Well you probably don't know but Lily is mute, she can't talk, she is also a quad beastman, she's a fox girl, her parents can't find a permanent job so she sometimes tries to help them in secret by selling flowers"
said the yound woman guard.
"Well she's smart but who are you?"
He asked the guardwoman.
"Wait It's I who should be asking you that question"
Due to his mask's power Npcs didn't recognize him as the lord of the city and Even if they didn't that would only give him an even worse treatment since he had closed down the city.
"Well I will be taking both of you anyway so, girl just lead the way or I'll kill this pretty guard lady"
Both the guard and the girl were in awe from the man's boldness. Threatening to kill a guard was like saying I can do whatever I like in the city, no one is safe from me. The guard had drawn her blade but it instantly with a grasp from his hand turned to dust. Darknym didn't invest in equipment but numbers of the common soldiers only commanding officers had good gear and she was not, but even if he had the result would have been the same.
"Do you believe me now?"
He said, seeing both the girl's eyes and the woman's eyes unable to comprehend what had just happened.
The truth was that he had used a lot of magic in that show off stunt, using a destruction spell that turns what he touches to dust, if not controlled properly he could easily had turned her arm to dust as well.
Destruction touch is one of the two destruction spells he had and both are Ultimate spells.
Darknym also touched the guard woman's breast plate with only one finger making a design, of a fox on it, afterwards it fell down to the floor, revealing a set of nice breasts inside, a pity she was wearing a bra. The guard was screaming for help and other guards would have normally come if not for an invisible sound barrier that was set around them.
He shut her mount with his hand and said in a threatening tone.
"Scream on the way and every guard that turns up will become a corpse, after the upgrade of the walls I don't even know why I keep you guards around"
Only now did the woman understood that something with his attitude was terribly wrong, she had heard rumors of the owner of the city, a lecherous mage that was going around the world abducting women, but she didn't know that he would do the same at his own city.
The female guard charged at him and shouted at the girl.
"Now Lily run to your parents I will hold him back even if I die"
As if Lily was waiting for a chance to escape she run away and became one with the nearby crowds that looked at the strange mute play.
"Before you die, may I know what name to put on your empty grave"
He said with a happy face.
"Edeline of the tower guards will fall in action to protect the Innocents people of the city"
She could hear clapping from around her and the cries from the other guards who tried to break through the now Invisible wall surrounding them
"You are worthy of one wish to be granted by me, Your spirit and determination to die for the weak is worthy of my city's guards"
Darknym said why taking off his mask revealing to all around that he was the owner of the city himself. The Guards had stopped their attempts and the citizens were silent as it was the first time they saw the owner of the city himself outside his tower.
"Speak your wish, If it is worthy of my praise I will do it happen, if not then I will imprison you forever"
The crowd now didn't know to cheer or to Yell in response to his words, the man was the owner but he was also an Infamous man, now wanted both by orks and the People in Anchora and as rumors went he would probably go making even more enemies.
The woman was silently thinking, although she was unsure what the right answer to his question was.
"The power to protect the weak"
She said, many guards nodded to the answer.
"You know there are three types of powers in the world or maybe even more, what you want is the authority to protect the masses, the strength to protect the one next to you or the power to grant Judgement upon the wicked"
"In our world there is only one power the mighty has the authority and the weaker follow, the mighty has the power to protect the ones nearby him and punish the evil of this world"
Darknym laughed sometimes he forgot that he was in a world where meritocracy existed
"you know I like your world even more now, so you are saying that your superiors are all as justice bound and ready to give their lives as you are?"
The girl was a bit lost there, it was true that her superiors were strong but not all of them had the same sense of duty as she had, to begin with she was an Oddball in their ranks, she would go out of her way to help the people giving her less time to practice.
"Do you know what's the difference between you and Adventurers like me!"
He shouted to the crowd that was a little angry but became afraid shortly after his cry.
"You think that I am strong, you think that because I am strong I do what I do, wrong even If I was as weak as you now I would still beat your asses because I am from a different world, there we have different values, there life is valued with your worth to those above you, not like here that you can buy and sell people like sacks of meat, that's your value, gold not usefulness but gold, I bought the whole city when I was still considerably weaker than now, maybe it was my luck or your misfortune that you chose to follow those that are stronger than you, everyone Inside the city are my prisoners, the outer gates won't open even if the whole city charged at them, the only ones able to save you from here are the adventurers but they don't give a fuck about you since you are gold draining sacks of meat that they have no use for other than maybe have a little fun with and throw away"
The people were now confused, they didn't know what the whole speech was about or how they had arrived to that point.
"So you want to protect them, that's easy gather gold and buy back your lives, but know that each one of you would cost for me let me see 1buck is 20 copper, 5 is one silver, 500 is one gold, so normally I would have to pay 100bucks for one of you so your price would be around 20silver each for those of you who are level 10, 1gold for level 50 and 2gold for those above, but believe me no adventurer would pay even 20 copper from my world's currency to save you, unless they wanted something in exchange and they will force you through the same I do, because for us you are not human you are programs made for our amusement, don't speak of power like it's something simple like lifting a mountain but if even after the talk you still want that sort of power know that to me your life won't be worth more than 2gold coins"
The people were terrified, they were programmed to think that adventurers were people from another dimension but now for them they became equivalent of gods, of course they couldn't cry the truth to the world since the city was completely shut off from the outside. And as for Vin and Marv they probably won't be coming again for bribes or wishes after they heard about Verial's disappearance. The only three nobles remaining in the city were Barccas, Glurb and Irma who had no job but many benefits.
The girl was trembling, it was as if she was now subjected to mental torture, all her ideas for the world had been crushed by one word currency. Guards can be bribed, in many cities it can be done to make them bend the rules a little in favor of someone, but other than that it's their sacred duty to protect the rules, she had no Idea that in another world someone had the power to buy and sell them like meat in the market.
"Don't be so Frightened"
he said with a calm voice and a smile
"Because all of you belong only to one man, I probably won't live more than 100 years and I can't possibly play with all 10.000 of you, at most I'll play with one tenth of you in my lifetime and that's only if you are unlucky enough like the small girl over there hiding behind her parents"
He showed pointed at a couple of a human and a beastwoman, whose head was that of a fox and red fur covered her body.
With a blink of his fingers the girl disappeared in white light, the two parents who begun to charge at him disappeared with a second blink as well. They were all in the glass prisons now until he figures what to do with them.
"You might think that I am evil but I don't care, cause the world isn't a nice place, this city is a real representation of how the world works, On one side there's the slums, where the absolutely poor live, do you think that they are poor because they have no merits, it's because they lack financial power, even strength can't feed your belly, although on second thought you don't have to eat in this world so it must be destiny that they are poor without a road to escape that place"
The citizens were perplexed, for them the slums was just a poorly made area for the poor to live, they didn't even consider that they could change the area themselves since the ruler made it so the simply watched the poor suffer and gave them a copper from time to time.
"Now answer what do you desire the authority of a noble of this city, the strength to stand up to me and being exiled from the city or the power to judge the crimes of the criminals as a judge, having their lives in your hands"
Once more he heard no answer coming from her mouth, she was still too stunned by realizing the real value of her own life and that of the citizens she had held.
"Two gold"
She said in a strange mumbling voice.
"At last you have Decided, Two coins you shall become but also the most powerful warrior the world shall know"
He cried out in a happy voice
"No...I didn't"
she tried to explain that she didn't want power she wanted something else something that can bring peace to the people and Prosperity.
Darknym without listening teleported her with him to the Palace.
"Servants bring her a change of clothes and call for my latest guests"
"No need for calling us"
Came a voice from the door to the room.
"I would like you to meet Edeline, she will be training with you in becoming a warrior who can give me a challenge"
The three of them were left dumbstruck.
"Isn't your wish to take the city from my grasp and make it a peaceful place where everyone is happy Edeline?"
Darknym said laughing as if he had read her mind, Edeline stood with her mouth open.
Su was about to say something but Yu covered her mouth with her hands.
"Smart move, I want Su to only teach me the special skills and then she will leave with Edeline on a journey in order to become strong enough to oppose me, She has 10months to do it, Yu will be my prisoner until you both return stronger, I will bestow upon you both with three Items that will help you in your journey for power"
He threw to them six rings, three for each of them.

Now Edeline and Su come over here I will make both of you mages so that you can both use the Items to their fullest.
Without having another choice and seeing the abilities of the rings although they didn't know what Atlas ring was for. In one second they were both had learned meditation and by giving each one an empty spellbook he said.
Now wear the gift ring and cast the light spell a hundred times, that should make you into apprentices.They cast the spell and with each time they cast it they gained 10 skillpoints, reaching 1000 in a mere minute.
"Now wear the Immortal's pledge ring, and atlas ring, when you gain enough strength to think you are ready to fight me activate the first gravity from the ring and know that I can fight quite well under the x1000 gravity, when you reach that you can come back here and challenge me to a fight"
leaving the three of them a little shocked at his revelation.
"Now your turn Su, teach me the skill you know"
He said.
"Alright"
She said with confidence.
"Then teach me the two skills you know"
Her face paled at the mention of the second skill.
"I see so you do have two skills to teach me, will you teach me or do you want me to make you teach me"
Su looked back at Yu who nodded in approval.
"Alright I will teach you"
Darknym already out of patience cast the brainwashing spell and added the absolute obedience to his orders.
"Now I want to know what you are hiding from me and for you to teach me all the special skills you know"
Yu was shocked she probably hadn't foreseen this coming even with her future telling or she was probably too tired standing on one leg.
"Master, Yu is a soul bender, she will try to bend your soul to change your race back into that of a human and I have three skills to teach but for the third I must be beaten in a fair fight to teach it"
"Haven't I beaten you already?"
He asked surprised.
"Master, You must hold a weapon when beating me"
Beating her without a weapon was probably considered unfair for himself or something.
Yu and Edeline were shocked to see the woman who stood proudly before now on her knees and even calling him Master.
Darknym took out a stick and said.
"Fight me"
Su charged at him only to fall at an Invisible wall and fall to the ground Darknym teleported above her and pointed the stick at her neck. To the two of them it probably seemed like a joke since they didn't know the true power of that stick, it was the same explosive staff he had at the dungeon raid, just by activating it he could blow the whole palace into the air, probably.
Su taught him the three skills, the third of which was a large disappointment or was it the first one she would have taught him.
Sword aura - basic 1
any weapon you use gains traces of your
aura inside it giving it special properties.
With that and his astral projection he could make his stick grow longer, make similar sticks appear through thin air and even make the actual stick float above his hand or at greater levels probably around him.
Soul protection
It protected his soul from soul
attacks and malevolent manipulations.

Darknym cast dispel on her and Su went back to normal but she remembered everything she had said and done.
"Thank you Su for being truthful and for teaching me the three skills although the only useful one I see is the soul protection"
Her eyes were now full of tears that must have been the only skill she didn't want to teach him.
"Now you two are free to go, don't worry about Yu she will be as Obedient as you until you two come back for her"
Darknym said while teleporting them outside of the city.
Su begun hitting the city gate of trying to hit it since the shield was the only thing she hit, each time becoming slower,weaker and feeling more pain than before.She was crying and saying.
"Now how will I tell our family that you were kidnapped by a vile sorcerer and I couldn't even protect you"
It was like a drama unfolding and Daknym didn't lose even a second of it, he had created a strange display screen for Yu to see what her sister or whatever she was, was doing outside the city.
"Now Yu come closer so that I can brainwash you"
Said Darknym with a wicked laughter. To his dismay Yu just came closer and waited for him to brainwash her.
"You really are no fun to tease"
He said as he brainwashed her into being loyal, obedient and above all he added sensitive.
"Now tell me what professions do you know?"
"Master, know five professions, but will only be interested in Ki practitioner and soul bender"
She taught him the two professions and two new skills of her own.
soul expansion
It allowed him to hold more ki than his ki
capacity, by percentage with each level
of skill mastery.
Soul surgeon
Have expertize in changing races, can change
the race of an Npc or player, warning,
players might report you for doing that
to them and return to normal.
"you can go rest now, I have something to do"
He logged out and called the channel director that Nancy no longer has to delete her character, he can now change her to any race he wants.
Of course he was to hasty to think he could, because the cost of changing a race proved to be greater than he thought. It drained his Ki forever, meaning that he had to steal souls or something to do a soul surgery to someone or like Yu start meditating all day on a mountain or some other high energy location. Of course there were hundreds of dungeons and monsters so it was just a small setback to his promise.
The rest of the day he spend with the three dwarves who proved to know more than just runes. They helped him in all his Alchemist, artificier and even spy profession, for the drug making skill and were even helpful for him to practice his stalk and sneak skills.
He was now an aprentice in the three rune skills and his alchemy and Artificier skills had risen a little, but the greatest gain went to the stalking skill since with more target stealth went up faster.
To end the day he went to his secret training room in the tower and cast on himself such gravity that he could see a small black hole appearing nearby his body, he quickly dispelled it, losing a hand in the process. He cast the powerful regeneration spell that grew his arm anew and cast a smaller black hole, putting one after the other him fingers inside the whole and regenerating them, each time feeling extreme pain from his fingers being ripped off by such gravity.
The stats were good, of course that was until the pain begun to become weaker and at some point he just put his fingers inside and took them out with just losing either the skin, some flesh and sometimes a fingernails.
It was time for a greater experiment now, he made a bigger black hall, putting his whole palm inside, the pull suck his whole arm inside. The pain was killing him but with one regeneration he was now alright.
He did the same trying each time not to lose his arm, it took him the rest of the day until he lost only half his arm. For just one day it was great progress.
He didn't know it but his Race was changed once more to an even Higher dragon race, the Black Dragon Ancestor. Sounds stupid but that is the race's name they are the First dragons to be and they created the dragon race into what it is.
Darknym didn't turn into a dragon but if he had, he could probably have broken the whole tower, that's how huge his real form was. Dragon Ancestors look like dragons only that their wings are fat and they have many eyes and no hands or feet, they just float in the sky, looking like huge manta rays.
Darknym's true form had two big red Marbles in the center of his big black wings and a head with a long neck that stretched a strange dragon-like head that only had the shape of a dragon's head, since it had no mouth and three pairs of huge red eyes on the upper part of the head, and one sole eye positioned vertically to the others. If someone In Allastar has seen his true form from afar they would probably think dark clouds were passing above them, at least until they see the brilliant red light from his red beads caused they let the light of the sun pass through them.

How many times have you wished you'd done things differently? Made better choices, put in more effort or worked towards a different goal altogether?
