Ace entered the boss room and in the middle was the Hobgoblin waiting.
Once Ace's whole body was inside the room, the door slammed shut and the lights inside slowly went out one by one until there was no light.
[Black Shadow sub-skill Night Vision has been activated]
He could see the whole room except for the main attraction.
"What...?"
The Hobgoblin was gone and there was a light blue book in the middle, he walked towards the middle to grab the light blue book and suddenly from above came raining down the massive Hobgoblin.
Ace was scared for his life as he was breathing incredibly hard, but even so, he would not give up.
[Black Shadow has been activated]
Ace's arms extended with the shadow and it grabbed him but somehow the Hobgoblin grabbed the shadow and ripped it off of him.
Ace became confused and he tried it again, it didn't work and he was starting to panic and second guess his choice.
"I knew it. I knew it, it was too early to attempt a Dungeon by myself. I don't want to die. I don't want to die"
He was going to die if he kept thinking like that but there was no one there to help him and he was losing his way. Was the new and improved Ace going to die here? He kept thinking of the possibilities of his death and not the possibilities of him winning.
The Hobgoblin swung the mace at Ace but he wasn't thinking straight and it hit him straight into the wall. He was lying there bleeding from head to toe and he could barely move.
The Hobgoblin started to jump, dance, and celebrate his victory. He was sure he had won but little did he think that anything will happen.
[Will you embrace the Shadows?]
Ace wasn't sure what to do when he saw this, what would happen if he said yes? What would happen if he said no?
The possibilities were too much for him to handle but he had to make the decision quickly.
The Hobgoblin was walking towards him and he could see it.
"AHHHHHHH FUCK IT! I embrace the darkness!"
Suddenly the shadows surrounded him and lifted him out of the wall and now he had a coat made of the shadows and his injuries healed.
His eyes had become a dark gray along with his hair becoming completely black and his clothes turning black as well, the only thing that stayed the same was his pail skin and then he spoke as he floats.
"It's been a while since I've had a body, I might as well help him. Let's see we have here, a Hobgoblin, I'm surprised you were losing then again you did pretty well considering you got the skills yesterday and you have no combat sense at all"
The supposed new Ace had dived into the Hobgoblin recklessly head forward and he smiled like a maniac and a part of the shadows compressed into his fist as he punched the Hobgoblin.
[Black Shadow has created sub-skill: Shadow Punch]
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Punch has been activated]
His fist didn't even touch the Hobgoblin but right as the shadows did, the Hobgoblin was blasted away with not a second to react. Blood splattered out of the mouth and the stomach had a fist mark on it.
The fight continued and sub-skills were being created left and right with the creativity of Ace or what was thought to be Ace and the whole body and face of the Hobgoblin were disfigured.
"It's time to end this, I'm going to run out of mana"
[Black Shadow sub-skill Shadow Sword has been activated]
In that last second of mana that was left the Hobgoblin was cut in half.
[Boss Monster Hobgoblin has been defeated]
"Well, that was fun while it lasted. Time to go back"
Ace was doing something weird and after he said that, he just stood still, then he started to move and he screamed as if he just had a horrible dream.
He was holding his chest and breathing hard, what was going on?
He started to touch his whole body and then he had a sigh of relief.
"Phew. I thought something happened to me, oh how come the Hobgoblin is on the floor? I'm sure I entered by myself, well no matter I'll take the loot"
Ace walked towards the Hobgoblins body, it's as if his whole personality changed. He touched the Hobgoblin's body and the body disappeared, leaving the light blue skill book he saw before and 3 pills of 3 different colors.
The red pill was the strength pill he had been consuming a lot and there was green which was vitality and finally there was blue, the one he needed the most which was Mana.
[1 Strength pill found. Would you like to consume?]
[1 Vitality pill found. Would you like to consume?]
[1 Mana pill found. Would you like to consume?]
At that moment, Ace thought it would be better if it was done outside so he took the skill book and the pills and he put it into his pocket. He knew the things that can happen if you come out with this stuff.
He exited the Dungeon and the message appeared.
[Dungeon Completed. Being added to resume]
He was happy and he went to a convenience store to buy alcohol to celebrate. As he got home he drank in joy and he just thought about the life he could've had if not for that skill book.
He drowned himself in those thoughts and he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Morning came and he got up, he had completely forgotten about the skill book he got before so he ran to it and opened it.
The light blue skill book was of the ice element.
[Ice Shards has been learned]
He started to shake and he hugged the disappearing book, he then remembered the pills.
[+1 Strength]
[+1 Vitality]
[+1 Mana]
After all of the pills were absorbed he opened his Ipad.
"Open my status"
He looked at his status and his jaw dropped.

Ace was so surprised he fainted and fell onto his bed.
Soon after, there was a knock on the door.
He woke up and opened the door and then he slammed it instantly.
He opened it again and it was his father.
The tall pale-skinned man with white hair and blue eyes.
Now they had looked completely different as Ace had dead gray eyes and black hair. Although they were still similar in many ways, they were both classified as unique as his father possessed an element unheard of to anyone else. He had the power of light and he was the one and only.
Ace was nervous to tell his father about his unique element but he wanted to. He brought his father in and he sat down on his bed with his legs shaking, he was that nervous.
"You probably know why I'm here don't you?"
"Actually no, no I don't"
Ace was stuttering as he spoke.
"Well you see I heard from one of the Guild Master's that there is a new unique in this region"
"Who was this new unique?"
"He is apparently someone with white hair and blue eyes, like me. By the way what happened to your hair and eyed?"
"I'm not quite sure but this is how it is now"
The aura of the room was tense and he wanted to get out of there as fast as he could.
Then what he wanted having hopefully come.
He muttered under her breath.
"Thank you"
