[important message]
okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC
Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

I don't like this. It's way too dark, and I'm running out of shit to throw. A full minute passed with nothing. Was he gone? 


One of the lights in the room suddenly flickered off


And it wasn't because he'd destroyed that light,it was because he hadn't. I could still feel it. It was active and should be working normally but the light just disappeared, like it got swallowed. 


Making sure to watch my steps I creeped closer and tried turning it back on, obviously without touching it but nothing 


"What is it with you and the dark anyway? You can't try to kill me to my face? Huh?"


I tried taking another step but I suddenly felt like my leg was a bit heavier, almost like it was being pulled down. I looked down at my feet and saw nothing 


That didn't make any sense though,I felt -


I suddenly noticed something. My shadow.


Wasn't his ability messing with darkness and shadows?
