Chapter 26
Alan moved to a corner of the chamber and carefully examined his status window, trying to understand how the system worked and what he should do next.At the top of the panel, his name and designation were displayed, followed by his age, level, and current EXP.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━【HOST INFORMATION】Name: Alan Frost Designation: DARKSCION Age: 24 Level: 2 EXP: 100 / 200━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━He glanced at his Hunter rank and noticed that it still displayed E-Rank.Apparently, the system had its own classification, separate from the Hunter ranking used in Asterra. Whatever progress he made through the system wouldn’t automatically affect his official rank in the outside world.He shrugged and opened another window.To his surprise, a new interface appeared before him.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━【STAT ALLOCATION】Unallocated Stat Points: 5━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SELECT AN ATTRIBUTE TO UPGRADE【Strength: 10】 【＋】 【Agility: 10】 【＋】 【Vitality: 10】 【＋】 【Intelligence: 10】 【＋】 【Perception: 10】 【＋】

Alan’s eyes widened, and he barely managed to throw himself aside as the sword swept toward him. He flinched as force of the attack cracked the wall behind him, sending dust and stone fragments scattering across the chamber.Lord Sorrowshade’s frustration continued to mount.‘Why doth he not perish? Why doth this take longer than it should?’He stared at Alan in disbelief.The human had been bleeding to death only moments ago. His body had been on the verge of collapse, and yet he was now moving as though nothing had happened.Worse still, something about him felt different.Lord Sorrowshade narrowed his eyes.Humans were weak creatures. Their bodies were fragile, their lifespans short, and their magical abilities insignificant compared to his own.So why was this one still standing?Meanwhile, Alan’s mind raced as he cautiously retreated.He needed a plan.He couldn’t simply rush at Lord Sorrowshade and expect to win. The man was faster, stronger, and far more experienced. Even with

Alan immediately rolled away just as the sword came crashing down.CLANG!The blade struck the ground, cracking the stone beneath it.Alan scrambled to his feet in alarm, his heart pounding. Then he froze.The pain in his stomach was gone, and so was the exhaustion that had nearly brought him to his knees.He stared at his hands before instinctively touching his stomach. There was no wound, no bleeding, not even the slightest discomfort.“What the hell…?”His gaze shifted to the translucent window hovering before his eyes.【STATUS WINDOW UNLOCKED】【Would the Host like to view current status?】【YES】 【NO】Alan stared at the options.He had read enough novels and played a few online games to recognize the basic concept, even if gaming had never been one of his particular interests. But seeing something like this in real life was an entirely different experience.A system?Was he seriously looking at a system?Still, if he had learned anything from the past few minutes, it was that he did
Chapter 23
Alan crashed to the floor, choking on his own breath.For several seconds, he couldn’t move. His hands trembled as he pressed them against the wound, desperately trying to stop the bleeding.His blood seeped between his fingers.No. No, no, no! He didn’t want to die.I’m not ready to die.His vision began to blur.The chamber grew distant, and the sound of his own breathing became faint.Then a translucent blue window appeared before his eyes.【SHADE SYSTEM INITIALIZATION】【Host’s vital signs have reached a critical threshold.】【Life Force: Deteriorating.】【System awakening conditions have been satisfied.】【Emergency Integration Protocol Activated.】Alan stared at the floating text.‘What is going on?’Another notification appeared.【WARNING: Host is approaching death.】【Commencing Emergency Integration.】【10%…】【25%…】A sharp pain suddenly struck the sides of Alan’s head.“Gah!”His entire body convulsed.An intense burning sensation spread through his veins, and his blood seemed to

“Brainless human! Dost thou know what thou hast done?!”The man’s deep voice echoed throughout the dark chamber, shaking Alan to his core.Alan’s breath came in heavy gasps as he backed away, desperately trying to put as much distance as possible between himself and the man.He had no idea what he was doing, but he knew one thing. Lord Sorrowshade would kill him or tear him apart to get the crystal.Hell, what if the crystal destroyed his insides and killed him anyway?Alan considered the possibility. After everything that had happened, it seemed death was inevitable.He couldn’t defeat Lord Sorrowshade, but he sure as hell didn’t want him to have the crystal either.Forcing himself to remain composed, Alan raised his head.“Why? Did I do something wrong? I don’t want you to have the crystal. It’ll probably make you stronger, and then I’d never stand a chance against you.”Lord Sorrowshade’s anger was palpable. The intensity of his glare made Alan tremble despite his best efforts to r

Alan remained wary, tightening his grip on the dagger hidden behind his back.The man exhaled slowly, still seeming unable to believe what had happened.“Regardless, I know not how thou camest to such a conclusion or discerned mine intent. Yet thou art still nothing compared to me.”Alan’s eyes widened as dark smoke began swirling around the man’s body. The smoke thickened, enveloping the stranger from head to toe.Then, with a sudden burst of movement, the man’s appearance changed.Standing before Alan was a tall man with long black hair and blood-red eyes. He wore a flowing black velvet robe with a high collar that framed his sharp, pale face. A dark cloak draped over his broad shoulders, its hem brushing against the ground as he moved.Fine leather gloves covered his hands, which rested casually on the hilt of the sword hanging at his side.Alan stared at him.Now he was scared.Really scared.This wasn’t some ordinary man pretending to be a friend. This was a monster, an actual de
