Chapter 9 – Evolution
The Shadow Core floated before him.
[Absorb? Y/N]
He hesitated for only a second.
"Yes."
The core dissolved into his chest.
Pain exploded through his body.
Dark veins spread across his arms.
[Class Evolution in Progress]
He screamed.
Memories flooded his mind.
Ancient battles.
A throne of shadows.
A fallen monarch.
[Class Upgraded: Shadow Collector → Shadow Commander]
New Skill Unlocked:
• Shadow Storage
• Shadow Reinforcement
• Minor Shadow Domain
Power surged violently.
When the transformation ended—
Arjun stood taller.
Stronger.
His presence alone distorted the air.
He summoned his shadows again.
They were different now.
Sharper.
Deadlier.
He looked toward the dungeon exit.
It was time.
