In the dark night of all beings awakes to Light the tranquil man. But what is day to other beings is night for the sage who sees.
....
"Well, this is enough..." Jin stretched his hands before he said, "Now, the field is ready and what's left is the players and gamers at the right time."
{My lord, I don't think this will work...} Typhon's voice sounded in Jin's head. { If this was so easy, don't you think you could have done it a long time ago? For it to work, conditions seem totally unreasonable, and there are many, many things that need to go according to your plans, and even then, astronomical luck would be needed if there's even a slight chance for this to work.}
Typhon, who has a connection with Jin's mind, like his every shadow does, told about some of his future plans and projects that Jin made, but he can't understand how something like that could even be created without the power of the cosmic scale. This makes some ridiculous mistakes that his lord predicted.
"Typhon, you need to know that humans aren't really reasonable most of the time, and what my target is, is one of the things I needed to do," Jin smiled as he fixed his hoodie. "I thought the same until I created you, or even coming to this world. Your creation is also no less of a miracle than what I plan to do. World travel opens many opportunities to us, doors that were closely locked before now opened, and looking back would be giving up without even trying. And it's not like I am going to do it now, as there are many missing pieces that I need to acquire before I could even think of creating that."
Said Jin while looking at the wide sky filled with clouds…
...
"Woooo~~" Esdeath turned her head to see where the voice came from, looking at the window. She saw nothing.
"Hm? What happened to me?" Esdeath moved closer to the window as she again heard the voice before all of them were coming from the forest next to the mansion.
"The forest? But what is happening there?" Esdeath frowned, but a feeling in her kept insisting on even dragging her, which made her sigh.
"Okay, let's see... Let's go," Esdeath didn't understand what was happening. So, with an eager gaze, she walked out of the mansion and went to the forest.
After that, Esdeath followed the sounds for a while before reaching an empty spot in the forest. Esdeath stood there for a moment before she rushed forward to check what happened. But suddenly, she felt her body pass through some sort of a barrier, before clashing voices reached her ears with powerful winds blowing.
"What's this... Huh?" Esdeath blocked the wind with her hand before she saw Jin and his shadows in the middle of the empty spot.
The ground was destroyed, and potholes filled the place. Esdeath had a hard time believing this was the previous spot, but she noticed how many of his shadows were there, and they all were powerful, one in the middle of the battlefield.
*CLANG!!* *CLANG!!*
A katana and a fist were clashing against each other, making sparks in the air. Jin and Gorr were fighting with their weapons only, as the wind was blowing from every hit they exchanged.
While every ten seconds, one more shadow joined the fight, putting more and more pressure on him, as they were no normal shadows, all of them were named.
Jin was moving faster and faster as he was dodging both Gorr and Gold's physical attacks, while also keeping an eye on Zelos, who was firing different ice attacks, while also looking for an opening before striking them. Zelos remained calm and blocked each hit before striking, but Jin dodged all of them using a mixture of both his speed and teleportation, while also keeping up with attacks with the least movement needed.
*CLANG!!*
Jin's katana, Gold, and Gorr's weapons were interlocked, as a mana barrier appeared behind him, blocking the huge sword of Igris, who just joined the fun, and before Igris even knew, many magic missiles were launched at him. Seeing them coming, he jumped back, while Jin said, "You've gotten much better."
As the next second, he disappeared and appeared behind Zelos, and before Zelos even knew, he picked him up and threw him at Gorr and Gold, who both were too shocked to realize that.
Of course, Gold was fast enough to react to it, and both knew this. That is why it didn't end there, as Jin threw multiple lightning spells at him.
"Well, it's not like you'll stay the same, isn't it?" Jin smiled, but Igris came at him while rotating his sword and made Jin lose his balance. Jin didn't have much time before he rotated his katana in his hand and blocked Igris's attack, but that made him retreat 10 meters, as Gorr slammed his foot on the ground, creating tremors and earthquakes. Gold ran at him.
Jin saw him coming and the next second, hundreds of Stone Bullets materialized in every direction, and they all were spinning, and the next second, they all fired at every corner of the field, some hitting their targets, while most of them got avoided.
But Gold avoided all of them and came at Jin, trying to slash him, but just before his sword touched him, he disappeared. Seeing this, Gold looked around, trying to find where he teleported, same was done by all the shadows who were in the fight.
Then his senses perked up, but it was too late as a katana pierced through his armor, then his whole body, with multiple daggers in every joint.
But it did nothing as Gold turned and again tried to land a single hit, but for his bad luck, he again disappeared.
Seeing it, they all prepared their magical attacks as they will fire at him the moment he appears. As Pikachu joined the battle, he and Telo both waited for him to appear next, as Jin appeared hitting the ground with his bare fists, before he looked at the Shadows and said, "It feels like you all are very uncoordinated."
*💥 🔥Booooooooom Bam Bam Booom 💥 🔥.*
As he just said this, he was bombarded.
"Didn't I say it before? You have to come up with more tricks..." Jin smiled as a gust of wind cleared the dust and smoke, and we see Jin standing in the middle, surrounded by multiple shields. As he said, "And you shouldn't stop, even if you know this is wrong, because this is me."
Jin was feeling a little helpless because he finally knew more about his essence. The essence is powerful and opens a lot of possibilities for him, but if there is something good, then there'll be something bad.
He wasn't sure what it was, but it could be compared to Jack of all trades, which is one of the symbols of this essence or can be called power. Jin noticed that anything he starts can be learned quickly, even if it was something he never knew before, like DNA research, about neurons, or whatever else.
Jin feels it more like enlightenment, as he could start and learn it faster than even the smartest brains in the multiverse, with quantum computers for their brains, brainpower, but that power also has its drawback.
Jack of all trades can never be the master of something, and this also implies to Jin. He can never be the best in something because he was never meant to be the first in a single thing.
Jin can't just take a sword and train to be the strongest swordsman ever. Even if it isn't impossible, it is very hard to accomplish. He can have all memories and abilities of swords, but Jin can't be the strongest in it. So, as a jack of all trades, Jin needs tricks, different moves, and powers.
If he can't be the first in one thing, then he'll have tons of others to fill the gaps. Jin will combine those powers and make it his own style. This is the correct way of the gamer.
As Gamers are made for that, to be overpowered not just in one thing but a beast at many, many things.
"Tricks and more tricks... This will be my way, and you should also remember, there will never be a time when you know too many tricks," Jin smiled before he rushed forward and stabbed with his katana.
The shadows frowned, as they knew this was getting out of hand. As they already got multiple stabs and spells striking them, yet they were yet to land a single attack, as he avoided every attack barely.
Seeing Jin coming at him, Igris raised his sword and blocked the strike, but Jin moved the katana with extraordinary precision a millimeter to the left, which made Igris's sword slide on Jin's katana.
Jin pushed Katana as he almost hit Igris's neck, while this was happening multiple arrows were launched at him, but just before they hit him, they all stopped using Domineter's hand. And it was too late as Igris's neck was chopped by Jin. As he tilted his head and looked at Aella, who was raining arrows at him.
As the arrows that were stopped by Ruler's hands were fired back, more elemental arrows appeared.
*Swiss*
As the next second, both Swift and Buster attacked him with all their own daggers, but they were stopped by four daggers that were floating in the air.
"Not bad… But still not enough to surprise me," Jin had a grin on his face before he raised his katana, and a new clash happened between him and nearly all named Shadows, which also included the huge giant Typhon.
Esdeath, outside the battlefield, watched Jin and the shadows fight. They seemed like they were trying to kill each other, but at the same time, they seemed to hold back, which seemed strange to her. It was like they all knew that the others would be able to dodge or block.
And even though Jin was cutting his shadows, it's not like it was having any effect on them, as they regenerated back.
Watching the battle for a while, Esdeath wanted to interfere, but she stopped and watched the battle silently, with some cupcakes in her hands.
1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours...
The clash continued for several more hours. With every move, they were changing the landscape, and with every passing hour, the destruction grew by several times, as the land they were fighting on extended.
As they fought, the shadows learned more about each other's weaknesses and strengths, and slowly they were cooperating and collaborating with each other, combining attacks, mixing fight styles, and learning something new from each other.
And this was Jin's goal, as he wanted an efficient army that knew about each other and could fight together if the need arose.
But it was a losing fight for Jin, as the more he hurt the shadows, the more of his mana got drained to fix them, while they had an unlimited source of energy.
Jin and the shadows clashed their weapons for the last time before they stopped. Jin put the 74th new katana in his scabbard before he massaged his shoulders. Even if the stats were strengthening Jin's body with their vitality, this fight was with monsters who couldn't be killed.
"This is enough for today..." Jin rotated his hands before doing some stretching.
"You're free in whichever way you want to become stronger," Jin acknowledged that his shadows were learning through their actions, which was correct. Everyone would have differences, and that would also reflect in their powers. Jin chose to walk his way, as this was the right thing to do.
"You all did good work, but still, you have a long way to go before you can fight like a team." Leaving those words, Jin left the place using the moonwalk.
"*Sigh*... What is she doing here anyway?" Jin stared at the side of the battlefield to see Esdeath sleeping next to a tree.
Esdeath didn't sleep well these days, and it cost her too much to do what she was trying to do to gain control over the temperature of her body with Jin this morning. So, she surrendered to sleep half an hour ago, as she couldn't keep watching Jin and his shadows exchanging blows.
This whole place is set with a barrier that blocks vision and sound from the outside world, which also expands with the fight, making it invisible.
"Well, come here..." Jin picked up Esdeath in a princess carry before closing his eyes as a yin/yang circle appeared, and they disappeared from this place.
Inside Jin's room, Jin appeared, holding Esdeath before putting her on her bed and leaving the room.
As he looked at the system screens, he was shocked to see it.
