"( Wait, WTF am I saying? )" I said as I without thinking ado, just said that instinctively.
< (!) ALARM (!) >

< [Special Quest: Undead Submission Part I] has been assigned >
< Quest Info: This is the Player's special quest, for the Player needs to make the Black Shadow Resurrected to submit and pledge loyalty to the Player themself. >

< [Incomplete] Pledge the Black Shadow loyalty (40 MIN/40 MIN) >
< !WARNING! >

As the
" Skkreeee.... " she makes the sound as she attacks me.
< The Black Shadow Resurrected has attacked you due to distrust. >
" Distrust!!!!? " I ask the System as the Abyss Feaster begins to approach with her attacks.
< Spring Webs >
When she unleashes her webs, I immediately dodge it but subsequently, it restricted the area of my movement as it covers the possible escape routes for me if things don't go as planned.
< The Quest has Started!!! >
< 03:59:59 >
" Really now? " I ask as I equip
" It doesn't work!!!? " I was immediately shocked as the webs didn't slash or incinerated but just stay as it was before while the black shadow spider monster begin to attack me with her bladed claws as she begins to almost pierce at that state.
The attack was so close, but since it seems the Black Shadow resurrected still doesn't approve of me as her master, despite I thought any undead creatures would automatically serve their masters like in the manhwa where the necromancer will say "Arise" and the monster he resurrected will immediately serve him without any protest whatsoever.
Guess the reality is so different, after all...
I thought the necromancy-raising-the-dead-process works like that, but it seems I and all other people who had been rooting for Necromancer characters, had been deceived by this process entirely since we thought when we raised the corpse from the dead, they will rise and submit to us but it is all wrong.
You must first prove to them, that you're their master.
"( Dammit, guess I have no choice but to fight her!!! )" I said as I attack her with my skills in order to subdue her.
" You ungrateful undead summon!!! "
" You should be thanking me for letting you return to the world of the living once more!!! " I said to the Abyss Feaster as I pinned her down with the weight of the Dainsleif Sword.
With the Aether, I suppressed her as I strengthen my bones and muscles with it, making me the chance to overpower her monstrous strength as it seems she becomes calmer than before.
" Skrreee!!! "
" Hu .. Hurts!!!!! "
" Man .... presses me .... hurts !!!!! " she says while crying and screaming over her agony.
" Man .... had viciousness ... greed .... gluttony .... " she cried as I presses her while recounting her words.
" Viciousness ... greed ..., "
" Gluttony... "
" Man ... "
When I recount the two last words, I begin to associate them with the bite wounds from the monsters' corpses on the previous floor. At that moment, a realization comes to my mind which immediately explains why the monsters on the previous and this current floor were dead, and it's because.
" It's a Hunter, isn't it? "
" It's one of our Party that killed you, isn't it? " I released my sword from her body as she begins to calm down and just cried calmly.
< The Black Shadow Resurrected had calmed down. >
" Fyuh now she calmed down!!! " I said as I take a rest for this and it seems I still had more time to do my things.
< 03:34:45 >
"( Now, what should I say to her? )" I ask myself as I then had no choice but to depend on the skill that could give me a glimpse of an answer.
< Skill: Twelve Eye of Time (Permanent) -- lvl.4 >
< Vision >
As I used it, I immediately see many glimpses of Vision, and I can see those visions to be so different as if there will be many outcomes of what will I do next, but still.
From those Visions, from those Outcomes, or Multiple Possibilities...
I can see and hear, a similar word that happens to exist in the multiple futures I've seen, and that is.
" I won't force you, ..... "
" I won't harm you, .... "
" I won't intimidate you, .... "
" But right now I'm willing to give you a chance to return completely into the living world. "
" For I assure you that when you're with me, you can avenge your death to the one who killed you. " I said as the glow of the Twelve Eye faded, meaning that I've done what the Vision had shown me and there is no more Vision that I need to see in order to finish this quest.
< 03:01:23 >
" Skreeee... "
< The Black Shadow Resurrected is considering your offer. >
" The choice is yours ... " I said since I don't want to be the one who forced her into this deal.
"( If she joins me it's good, but if she doesn't,... )"
"( The Dainsleif Sword still had more Black Shadow Soldiers to offer... )"
"( But... ) " I paused.
"( Why should I depend and spend many years to gain those soldiers while I can have one by myself using my Aether... )" I said as I see the System that the Black Shadow Soldiers inside the Dainsleif Sword can only be unlocked after level 90 which is a long way for me and I don't want to wait for it.
As I wait, the Black Shadow I resurrected then bows and the System showed that she now submits to me as she had already reconsidered thanks to my generous offer that she deems, unforceful.
< The Black Shadow now reconsiders her behavior and now submits to you as its master. >
< But before that, Player Ragna? >
< Would you like to give this Black Shadow a name? >
When the System said that, I immediately looked at it and tries to see any good names for her. As I need to give her a good female spider name since she's a female spider monster.
"( A female spider name...? )"
"( Arachne..., Arachnid, ..., Black Widow... no.... )"
"( Rachne perhaps from Arachne or .... )" I immediately think as I immediately think that perhaps, the next option I will give is good because.
" [Rachina]..., That's a good name. " I shouted as I put some elements of my name "Ragna" into it and remembered that Carla, my granddaughter from the previous Timelines had the same middle name as my first name but often to be called "Ra-Gi-Na" so...
" Rachina, the name of this Black Shadow is Rachina. " I said as I named the Black Shadow and then the System baptized her with its things as Rachina now becomes one of my new aid.
< Quest Completed >
< Congratulations, you've owned a Black Shadow >
_______________________________
To a story short, inside the Dainsleif Sword, there exist an Army of Black Shadows that was once absorbed inside the Dainsleif Sword which Ragna can unlock later on for his army.
But since it's too long, Ragna decides to make his own Black Shadow Army using the Aether by resurrecting any good monster corpses he could find in this Tower, and *Rachina is the perfect first Black Shadow he ever resurrected.
* The name 'Rachina' comes from 'Arachne' and 'Ragna' since Ragna knows that his name could be used to name a female child so he instead fused those names into one name, Rachina.
