In the dead of the night, inside a sinister forest spanning out like an ocean. The space around a tree broke apart like glass pieces as a young man fell from it with a thud. The broken space started recovering by sucking in its surroundings which created an explosion clearing everything within a 100 m radius.
POV
I felt a thud on my back as i was mindlessly thrown towards the ground like a ragdoll. When i regain my senses, I looked around only to find myself inside a giant crater in the middle of nothing.
*Smirk*
I knew what this was, "I am isekaid BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
As a season veteran of the otaku culture, I knew what this meant, an easy badass life with baddies falling for me left and right but then it hit me, what if I am that cursed example of isekai like subaru?!! My heart hit rock bottom but then i remembered the badass entity I was few seconds ago,
"There's just no way I am not op" I patted myself and soon a pleasing sight came onto my mind.
*Tring*
[System online]
"Hell yeah baby! There's nobody in the isekai genre who is weak with a system!!!"
[Welcome to player system]
[Please choose your class]
[ 1) Fighter 2)Magician ]
"Weird it only provides 2 choices" i thought but i was too optimistic right now.
"Give me magician baby as only barbarians fight with their body" i cockily laughed like a bonafide loser, i was too self aware but this was my chance.
*Click*
[Please choose a sub category]
[ 1) Alchemist 2)Research magician 3)Cosmic force magician 4)Necromancer 5) Battle mage 6)Spirit mage 7)Advanced sage]
I quickly skimmed through the list and what immediately caught my eyes were the FUCKING GRAND TITLE OF COSMIC FORCE MAGICIAN and ADVANCED SAGE.
As i was deciding what to choose between the 2, Something caught my eyes, the sub category necromancer....I know it sounds stupid but...One of my favorite manhwa is solo leveling and how cool is jinwoo with his army !!! I don't have a brain but i realized that in my previous epic cosmic battle, multiple creatures or soldiers were lurking in my "Shadow" so maybe I was onto something...I felt nervous as i didn't knew what to choose, one wrong sub class and my op life will be finished before it started. Especially when one of the option is called COSMIC FORCE MAGE or ADVANCED SAGE.....
I finally decided that i will have faith in destiny as it was the one who brought me here...I prayed and clicked on the subclass 'Necromancer'..
*Ding
[You have chosen a hidden class, as a reward for choosing this, you are being upgraded to Advance sub class, please select.
1) Shadow Monarch 2) Death king 3)Knight of darkness 4) Shadow slave ]
' Yes!' I closed my fists and applauded my genius, without having a second thought, I clicked on no 1) Shadow Monarch.
*CLink*
[Detected Advance hidden class: Shadow Monarch.
Choose presets.
Key 1) Level 1 jinwoo
Key 2) Red gate jinwoo
Final key) Baran fight jinwoo ]
' I think its asking me to choose a version of jinwoo and his powers during each key, choosing lvl 1 will make me start as lvl 1 jinwoo which is just stupid so the obvious is the final key which is the strongest here.'
It was a no brainer so i choose the final key but i was disappointed that there was no monarch war jinwoo or eos jinwoo.
[Welcome player]
*Whoooosh* The air started revolving around me and soon turned into a tornado, I was flabbergasted as i was lift up from the ground, levitating when suddenly black energy that looked out of reality was oozing beneath the ground, beneath my shadow and soon transformed the tornado black, darker then the night sky itself.
Abruptly the black tornado got sucked into me as i slowly fall to the ground like a feather.
I opened my eyes as it glowed with a blue light.
*Tring*

I was elated, so excited feeling the power coursing through my veins...
*Phew... I took a deep breath and
"ARISE"
My shadow expanded and covered the giant crater, soon my loyal soldiers emerged out of it, drenching my surroundings into a shadow darker than night itself.
I was starstruck , many shadow soldiers numbering above one hundred were kneeling Infront of me, surrounding me in a circle, filling the entire 200 m long circular crater, to greet its new Monarch, ME! My ego was boosted into unfathomable levels. The soldiers closest to me were my loyal generals, Igris, the death knight feared even by the monarchs, Tank, the living tank, Tusk, the Orc shaman magician and Iron, the once arrogant human hunter.
Although they were a lot weaker then their counterparts in the manhwa, especially igris who was originally marshal ranked shadow, yet seeing them kneel Infront of me made me feel like the king of the world.
" SOLDIERS!"
I instinctively took my hand out as lightning converged and space was sliced open as a beautiful shining white dagger came out of my inventory.
[ Item acquired: Warlord Baruka's dagger]
I took the dagger in my right hand and pointed towards the horizon.
"Charge! "
