"I really need to understand this system and collect my newbie gift now." He left the pocket dimension with a thought and sat back down in his wheelchair and started to explore his system. "Retrieve my protector." A figure in a black cloak appeared and kneeled Infront of Gray. "Greetings master."
He looked at him and realized he could see the basic status of the figure.
Name:shadow
Race: puppet
Strength:rank 7 mage
Affinity:spatial
Lifespan:n/a
Abilities : long distance teleportation,space blades, spatial construct, spatial concealment, spatial collapse, spatial storm.....
"Shadow what rank can spatial concealment hide from without a chance of discovery."
" Master I can hide from any rank 10 as long as they don't have a mastery on space." That was good as with this he could be Gray's eyes and arms when needed. He could also be his hidden protector which was good. "Shadow stay concealed and unless in private moments you can follow me around and ensure my safety." "Yes master. " He seemed to disappear from the room
"System retrieve the mischief mask." A mask with and intricate design appeared in his hand and some information seemed to appear in his head. The masks primary purpose was to avoid detection and hid or fake aura. It also had a master- surbodinate function that allowed him to communicate with his surbodinates no matter distance. He immediately put one on and it blended into his face and he immediately became the weak and fragile boy he was before he drank the healing potion. He also gave one to shadow and proceed to retrieve the enlightenment card which he learnt allowed him to understand things like meditation techniques or even spells. The card had a golden glow and seemed to whisper secrets of things he could not quite make out and so put it back in his inventory. He navigated the system and came to the mission panel to view the missions the system had assigned him.
Main mission: Become the ruler in shadows of the Evergreen kingdom
Sub mission 1 :Became the master of the Infernal dutchy
Sub mission 2 : Establish a shadow organization
Sub mission 3 : have 1 high rank loyal surbodinate
Sub mission 4 : Have 3 high rank loyal surbodinate
As he read he understood how the system worked at a basic level. To make him a hidden powerhouse, he needed loyal surbodinates to secretly carry out his orders on top of him also having his own power. That was the work of the dutchy wide scan, to help him locate high rank professionals to find a suitable surbodinate but before all that he needed to establish the shadow organization first.
As a person with a system the first thing he needed was a very high vision of the future. Sometime in the future he would grow out of the Evergreen kingdom and so he needed to consider this and with that he made it so that high rank class was the lowest threshold to enter his organization. That way he didn't have to waste time when he eventually outgrew the kingdoms and was stuck with people who didn't have ability to help him accomplish his goals in any way.
The organization would be divided into an outer, inner and core area and above that would be the twelve seats.The top would comprise of him seated at the throne with three guardians as his direct surbodinates. As the masks would be given to every member of the organization to ensure fast and easy communication it would be easier to color code the masks for easier identification. He would have a white mask, the guardians like shadow would have a black mask, the twelve seats would have grey,core members would wear red, inner members would wear blue and outer member would wear green.The name would be simple as he he didn't quite have great naming skills, The Shadow Society. This structure he decided on after much deliberation ensured stability and continuity.
Ruberno was holding on to his last breaths as he was floating in a river being carried by the currents down stream. All his body was bloody with scars, bone deep all over him. A fierce fight to the death between him and the beast lords had erupted when he was corned by the beasts and he was only alive because he decided to bite the bullet and jump off the cliff to give him hope for surviving.
He plunged deep into the Carnal river and was now clinging desperately to his life but he wouldn't be alive for much longer. Sea and water beasts were more ferocious that land beasts especially when they smelled blood . He was only able to fight some off as they were low rank beast but soon the true predators would come if they were not already on the way and that would be his end for sure if he didn't die due to exhaustion and his injuries. His life flashed before his eyes and as he saw his life long regrets all he could do was close his eyes and welcome death. Perhaps he was not a good person but he had done his best and that's all that mattered, at least to him
