System: Daily login!!, jackpot on the first day!!!-Chapter 322 - New Ruler

- A moment before Taufik comes back.

Taufik did not know how much time had passed, but he did know that every time he swung his Katana, tens to hundreds of shadow creatures would disappear into the mist and be replaced by other shadow creatures.

Every time this change occurred, the shadow creatures became harder to kill. They did not get stronger, but they slowly began to know how to deal with Taufik.

But no matter how many shadow creatures came to him, no matter how many wounds he received, no matter how many times he swung his katana, fending off attacks that came his way, it never made Taufik fall, even the thought of it never crossed his mind.

This could happen because apart from the Mana in him that seemed to never run out no matter how much he used it, this was also caused by something that happened in the middle of the battle, at one point when he defeated the Shadow Creature and the Shadow Creature became mist, something strange happened, the mist that usually immediately disappeared into nothingness, now the mist seemed to be sucked into Taufik's body.

Taufik was initially surprised by this and worried, but because of the conditions at that time, he did not have the luxury of checking his body's condition, so Taufik just let it be because he did not feel any difference when the mist entered his body, at least not yet.

It kept happening, he killed the shadow creature, the shadow creature became mist, and the Mist was sucked into his body; this kept happening for a long time until, at one point, Taufik finally realized that something had happened to his body.

But the changes he felt were not something bad, but rather something good because Taufik felt that he was actually getting stronger as more mist was absorbed by his body.

However, the more mist he absorbed, Taufik also felt that his body was slowly changing, changing to adapt to this shadow world, his skin which was originally pale became dusty gray, from his head sprouted massive, curved horns, their surface jagged and dark as if it made from obsidian, pulsing faintly with an eerie energy. His long hair had become unruly, streaked with hints of shadow that seemed to move on their own, writhing as though alive. His dark eyes now emit an unnatural crimson glow, making his appearance almost similar to a shadow creature.

But the most striking transformation that happened to Taufik is the thing that happened to his body; living darkness clung to his body, tendrils of shadow-like substance formed into Eksoskeleton yet still fluid, as though deciding whether to consume him entirely.

And his Mana wings have now been replaced by a pair of bat-like wings. Taufik's current appearance is similar to that of a demon.

Even because of this, Taufik felt uncomfortable using his Katana because his fingers had now become claws, making it difficult for him to grip the handle of his Katana.

In the end, Taufik continued the seemingly endless battle without a katana anymore and without using his SwordMagic technique anymore, and only using the new power he had gained, fighting poison with poison, fighting fire with fire, that was what Taufik was doing right now, fighting shadow with shadow, a stronger shadow.

This proved successful because Taufik's speed in killing the shadow creatures was faster and more flexible than before.

Until one moment, these shadow creatures seemed to start to be afraid to approach Taufik, hesitated, and stopped moving, as if one movement they made would be their end as if their instincts forbade them from taking action against this creature floating alone in front of them... It was as if The Shadow World itself paused in front of Taufik's presence.

What was in front of them was no longer an intruder but one of them, something superior to them.

Taufik also did not continue attacking them and only floated in the air with a gaze as if looking down on all the shadow creatures in front of him.

Until finally, a whisper, not a voice, but a force echoed from the darkness which was heard from all directions. The shadow world itself reacted to this situation, saying.

"... Who are you?"

Hearing this, Taufik smiled, then said.

"Who am I?"

After those words came out of Taufik's mouth, a pulse of pure darkness erupted from his body.

The shadow creatures who were affected by this reeled back, hissing.

Taufik lifted his head, and his eyes darkened with an unsettling force, an abyss that seemed to be able to pull in everything around him as if the very light and air trembled at the edge of his gaze.

"... I am the one who decides what the darkness should be, I'm The God of Darkness... And you?... You will obey me because from now on, I am the ruler..."

After Taufik said that, The sky rippled, and the voice, the will of the Shadow World itself, spoke again.

"... Then take your throne"

After that, the silence fell, and one by one, the shadow creatures disappeared, leaving only Taufik alone.

Seeing this, Taufik breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his gaze toward the ocean of shadows, the once-hostile waves now silent, as if acknowledging Taufik's status.

"... In this silence, this world is not entirely bad... I'll use this world nicely... System, how much time have I spent in this world?"

[DING]

[If calculated based on the time in the real world, the time Master spent here was two months, thirteen days, and seven hours]

"What?! That long? Is it because there is no concept of time here that I didn't realize that so long had passed?"

[Yes Master]

"*Sigh* Now I'm worried, I hope my theory is correct and no time passes in the real world... Alright, since this is a reflection of the real world, then the direction home... Hmm~ that way, I think?"

Said Taufik who then immediately sped off in the direction he wanted to go among the black sky of the shadow world.

After flying for a while, Taufik arrived at a place where in the real world it was Great Britain, determining the direction in the world of shadows was very difficult because even though this world is a replica of the real world but everything is made completely pure from shadows, so tall buildings in the real world, in this shadow world it only looks like a tall shadow that rises high to the sky, so finding the Windsor palace is a little difficult for Taufik.

After going back and forth here and there, Taufik finally found Windsor Castle or something that looked like it.

When Taufik came down, he found many faint reflections of people in the real world moving here and there as if following what the real people in the real world were doing.

As Taufik continued to explore the place, Taufik was finally convinced that this place was indeed Windsor Castle, Taufik continued to explore until he finally arrived in a room, where Taufik saw four faint reflections of people in the real world, but there was something slightly different about one of the faint reflections, one of the four faint reflections seemed more alive, still in the form of a shadow but looked more alive.

This caught Taufik's attention, who then looked for a shadow area that he could enter because even though what he was stepping on was a shadow, not all of the shadows around him could be used as access to enter and exit, only certain shadow areas could he use, finding a shadow that he could use, Taufik immediately entered the shadow without thinking.

After entering the shadow, Taufik immediately heard his grandma's voice, who said.

"... So where's your father? Where's Taufik?"

"... Earlier, my father said he was going out to take care of something and hasn't come back ye-"

Then his son, Aksara, answered, but before Aksara could finish what he wanted to say, Taufik announced his presence by saying.

"I'm here"

Said Taufik who had fully emerged from the shadow in the corner of the room, and what met him were the surprised looks of the four people in the room.

"... My... Fik, is that you?"

Asked the Queen after coming out of her shocked state.

"Who else? It's me, your grandson"

"... Wh-What happen to you? Why do you look like this?"

"Wow~ Lil bro, Are you a demon now?"

"Bro... No, never mind, you look cool, but what with that eye? Can you still see with your eyes in this condition?"

Said the Queen, Amanda, and Caldwell in turn, while Aksara remained silent while staring at his father with a strange gaze.

"Oh~ This appreance? I forgot t-"

*Swing!*

Before Taufik could explain what happened to his body, Aksara, who had been silent all this time, suddenly moved, swinging his Ninjato towards Taufik's throat. Explore new worlds at novelbuddy

*!!!*

Aksara's sudden movement shocked the Queen, Amanda, and Caldwell, who saw it.

*Clang!*

However, Aksara's sudden attack could be easily deflected by Taufik using only his claws.

"Aks-"

"SHUT UP, YOU DEMON!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FATHER!! YOU CAN FOOL OTHERS WITH YOUR TRICKS, BUT NOT ME! BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN WHAT A REAL DEMON IS!!"

"..."

"..."

"... What?"
