Necromancer Of The Shadows

 Chapter 1: What Do You Want To Sacrifice.

"So that's how I am going to die in this life " Evan said while lying on the floor of a dark hall, blood continue to flow out from his back, there was a claw mark on his back and his flesh was completely torn, whoever cause this injury was very powerful because even his bones were visible from the wound.

His head was also bleeding, from the injury of his head it was clear that something very hard hit his head as even the bone of his skull was fractured.

"Since the day I opened my eyes in this world I knew that my life will be pathetic. I thought I will die at the hands of some powerful beast or hunter, I even thought I will just kill myself for not being able to improve my own power, but I never thought I will die from blood lose" Evan mumbled as his voice started to fade away and darkness started to engulf his entire vision.

"I hope in my next life I will be able to enjoy a normal life and I absolutely don't want to be born with a unique physique" Evan said before the darkness engulfed him completely.

But just as darkness engulfed him completely he heard a cold voice "What do you want to sacrifice?"

Evan whose vision was engulfed by darkness heard the cold voice and his eyes opened a little gaining a little clarity, but he still can't move his head much less look around himself to search for the person who just spoke to him.

" Who are you? " Evan asked in a weak voice.

"What do you want to sacrifice?" but no one answered his question and he heard the same voice again.

'is this the voice of a devil who is here to collect my soul as a sacrifice after I die?' Evan thought when he heard the word sacrifice.

"What do you want to sacrifice?" Evan heard the same voice again asking him what he wants to sacrifice, Evan was barely able to think what is going on since he lost too much blood, and his mind was not working properly after the recent events.

"What will I get after sacrificing something?" Evan asked a different question this time and to his surprise, he received an answer this time.

"You can get anything as long as the thing you sacrifice holds enough value" the voice replied in the same cold tone.

'I can get anything this is the same line every devil says before he asks someone to sacrifice their soul' Evan thought after hearing that he can ask for anything.

'There is no way I am going to sacrifice my soul to a devil even though my life is full of shit I still don't want to become a slave of a devil by sacrificing my soul. But then what should I sacrifice although he is a devil since it is asking me to sacrifice something it means it can't do anything to me if I don't sacrifice my soul 'Evan thought while his vision started to turn dark again. The effects of blood lose started to show again and Evan knew that if he closed his eyes he will not be able to open them again, so he started to think what he can sacrifice to heal himself and get out from here alive.

Then Evan remembered why he is in this situation all of this is happening because he possessed something that restricted him from improving his power 'although I don't know if this thing has enough value to heal my injuries I am not going to lose anything by sacrificing this shit on the other hand, it will just benefit me since even if I die after sacrificing it, I will be assured that this thing will not come with me to next life ' Evan thought and finally decided what he is going to sacrifice.

"I want to sacrifice my shadow physique" Evan said in a weak voice but he didn't receive any reply instead a black smoke came near him and covered his entire body. After ten seconds the black smock disappeared and he heard the cold voice again.

"What do you want in exchange for your physique?"

"Heal all of my injuries and give me some cores" although Evan just wanted to heal his injuries he still asked for some cores if the voice refused to give him cores he will back away but if the voice agree to give him cores he will be able to improve his power because the physique that was restricting him to increase his power will be gone by this sacrifice, and he will be able to use cores to improve his power.

Evan waited for some time and the cold voice finally replied "your physique holds enough value for this exchange, beginning sacrificing ritual"

Suddenly the entire hall glowed in dark red color and Evan who was almost about to pass out heard the cold voice again "You can't sacrifice your physique in your current condition, you will die if you sacrifice your physique without healing your body so I am going to heal you first to complete the sacrifice, but because I am healing you first without getting anything you will receive only 50% cores that I was going to give you before "

Evan agreed without hesitation since he never expected to receive any cores from the beginning. Suddenly the black smoke engulfed his body again and he found his body started to heal rapidly and in just five minutes he was completely healed.

Evan checked his back and found that it was completely healed even his fractured head was completely healed there were no more injuries on his body.

"Now Sacrificing your physique" Evan heard the cold voice again and the black smoke engulfed him again. But this time instead of feeling refreshed like last time, Evan felt pain like never before.

"Arghh" a pain-filled scream came from Evan's mouth as he felt his body is being torn apart by something.

But unknown to Evan by sacrificing his physique he finally awakened something inside him that was being surpassed by his physique for years, even the person who made the exchange with Evan didn't know that by taking Evan's physique he awakened something that was almost forgotten in history.

*Ring*Ring*

Inside a small room, a boy was sleeping when suddenly he heard his phone rang, he picked up the phone and heard the voice of another boy.

"Evan what are you doing today, our group is going for a raid inside a dungeon, do you want to come with us" Mike, one of Evan's classmate asked him.

"I have to go somewhere today you guys can go by yourselves" Evan replied and cut the call without waiting for Mike's reply.

After cutting the call Evan gritted his teeth and said "this bastard always trying to humiliate me by asking if want to go into the dungeon with them, he knew that I can't increase my power with the help of those cores".

Evan tried to calm down his mind and stood up, Evan looked around 18 years old. His hair and eyes are completely dark black and his skin is pale white completely opposite to his hair and eye color. He is around 180cm tall and looks really handsome while considering his power level.

Evan tried to forget about the call he just received and focused on the thing that he is going to do today.

Evan prepared a simple breakfast for himself and while eating looked at his status panel.

Name: Evan

Rank: F

Strength: F

Agility: F

Mana: F

Stamina: F+

Intelligence: F

Luck: E+

Charm: D

Skill:- Shadow Walk

Evan shook his head while looking at his status panel only his charm and luck are above the rank F.

"I should just do what I can do and wait for an opportunity to get some shadow cores to improve my rank. After all I can only use shadow cores to improve my rank, unlike others who can improve their rank by using any type of cores" Evan said with a bitter tone and looked at his status panel that was showing his details, his gaze stopped on the shadow physique for a second then he closed the status panel.

After eating breakfast Evan packed his backpack and after confirming that he didn't forget anything he started to walk towards the door of the room.

"I hope everything will be fine and I will be able to get at least one shadow core today" Evan said and left the room.

 

Chapter 2: Evan.

"Damm! How can I oversleep on the first day of my job. I got this job after so many hardships I really don't want to arrive late on my first day" Ray a young man said while running like his life depends on it.

While running Ray bumped into a man "sorry" Ray apologized without stopping.

"young people doesn't have any manners these days" the man said when he saw Ray didn't apologize properly, but Ray couldn't care less about it when he is already late on the first day of his job.

But Ray stopped when he arrived at the main road because the traffic signal was red 'why the hell whenever I come here I found this signal red' Evan shouted in his mind.

After one minute the signal turned green and Ray once again started to run.

Horn*

But when Ray reached at the middle of the road he heard the sound of a car horn, and when he looked towards the sound he saw a car coming towards him at high speed and before he can think anything else the high-speed car hit him.

Ray didn't feel anything when the car hit him. He found himself lying on the ground and saw how the car didn't stop even after hitting him and soon his vision started to turn red.

'Hmm' Ray tried to lift his hand but he didn't feel anything 'what is going on why I can't feel my body' Ray thought while his vision turned completely red.

Everything happened too fast that Ray didn't understand just what is going on but he started to panic when he wasn't able to feel his body.

"Someone call the ambulance fast" Ray heard the voice of a man.

"Ambulance will arrive in five minutes don't close your eyes" Ray heard the voice of the same man again but for some reason, his vision started to turn blurry.

When Ray's vision turned blurry he started to understand what happened 'I know my luck is shit but seriously, I am going to die just after getting a job' Ray thought while his vision turned completely dark.

'Damm! I should have stayed home and played games' this was Ray's last thought before darkness engulfed him.

"Hmm" Ray opened his eyes and saw a familiar but at the same time unfamiliar cealin of a room.

Ray was lying on a bed in a small room 'is this is a hospital' Ray thought while looking around the room but for some reason, Ray found this room familiar, but he was sure he never saw this room before.

Ray tried to lift his hand and was surprised because he didn't feel any pain he tried to stand up and was able to stood up very easily.

"How the hell my body is completely fine after that accident?" Ray shouted when he saw his body was completely fine. But soon he felt something is wrong. He looked around the room and saw a mirror not so far away from him, Ray came before the mirror and his eyes opened wide when he saw his reflection inside the mirror.

" What the hell is going on" Ray said while looking at himself in the mirror.

Suddenly Ray felt a splitting headache and he dropped to the ground while clutching his head soon strange memories started to appear inside his head.

"Arghh" Ray screamed because of the pain, he continued to feel the pain for the next five minutes and he gained many foreign memories.

"Evan" Ray said after the pain disappeared. He was drenched in sweat and was lying on the ground.

Ray stood up after he finally understood what happened, he looked at the mirror once again "I still can't believe I transmigrated to a different world and a world where you can even use magic"Evan said when he finally understood that he is transmigrated to another world where people can use various skills by the help of mana.

"Can I also use magic?" Ray who transmigrated inside the body of Evan wonder as he checked the memories that he just received but his face turned ugly when he fully checked the memories of Evan.

The world Ray transmigrated is called Arora world and there are many people who awaken special powers. Most of the people awaken their power before turning 16 years old, Evan also awakened his power when he was 14 years old and joined hunter academy to train himself and learn more about superpowers.

Evan was an orphan who used to live in an orphanage, but whoever awaken their power can join the hunter academy for free so Evan was able to join the hunter academy even though he was an orphan.

Evan was very happy when he awakened his power because not only he awakened his power he also had a physique called shadow physique.

He awakened a skill called shadow walk that allows him to turn himself into a shadow and walk freely unhindered by anything as long as he can provide mana he can keep his shadow form activated.

When Evan joined the academy he learned how to improve his power, to improve your power you have to use cores of the monsters.

You can get cored by killing monsters inside the dungeons, cores are very rare and very few monsters drop a core after you defeat it.

If you defeat a fire-type monster you will receive a fire-type core, and if you defeat a water-type monster you can get a water-type core.

But it didn't matter much which type of core you get because you can improve your power by absorbing any type of core usually you can absorb only 30% energy of a core, and the rest of the energy disappears in the surrounding environment while absorbing the core

But if you have a fire-type skill and you absorb a fire-type core you can absorb around 50% of its entire energy.

But when Evan tried to absorb the energy from a core for the first time he wasn't able to absorb it. For some reason his body rejected all energy that he absorbed from the core, at first Evan just thought maybe that core was damaged or something but soon he found out for some reason his body rejects all energy from the cores.

At first, Evan didn't understand why he can't absorb the energy from the core but then he remembered his physique since the name of his physique was shadow physique he used his all saved money to buy a shadow core and tried to absorb it, and to his surprise, his body didn't reject the energy this time and absorbed it greedily.

After finding this Evan thought about hunting shadow-type monsters to get some cores and improve his power. But the lowest-rank dungeon where you can find shadow-type monsters are at least rank D and Evan is only an F-rank hunter so even if he wanted he can't get shadow-type core.

He was an orphan so he can't purchase shadow cores by using money so even after joining the hunter academy Evan wasn't able to improve his power.

"My new life is already ended even before it started" Ray said after digesting every memory of Evan.
