Vincent took a deep breath and, with a commanding voice, said, "Arise."
Immediately, his shadow began to stretch and shift, dark energy swirling in front of him. The dark energy coalesced, forming the shape of a humanoid figure.
Within moments, the energy solidified into a knight clad in shadowy armor.
The Shadow Knight emerged and knelt before Vincent, ready to serve.
Vincent studied the knight—its armor was an ethereal black, shimmering with dark energy, and its eyes glowed with a faint, eerie blue light.
The knight held a sword that seemed to blend into the shadows around it, giving off an impression of both menace and elegance.
"What's your name?" Vincent asked.
The Knight then responded, "I have no name, only the strong can have names."
'Mhm, interesting.'
"Very well," Vincent said. "For now, I'll dismiss you."
The Shadow Knight bowed deeply. "As you command."
With that, Vincent said, "Return to the shadows."
The knight's form dissipated into dark mist, vanishing from sight. Even though he can still feel him guarding him from the shadows.
Vincent looked at the empty space where the Shadow Knight had been and pondered, 'These shadows aren't just mindless warriors. They seem to possess some level of awareness. I wonder if this awareness belonged to the Shadow Knight when he was alive, rather than being a mere shadow.'
He realized this situation was more complex than he had initially thought. Vincent decided to set these thoughts aside for now and focus on exploring the System.
Vincent then turned his attention back to the System. "What other functions do you have?"
