?[Will you accept the new hidden class 'Monarch Of Darkness']

Raith was silent for the next few moments.

'...it probably will force it on me anyways. So yes.'

"Wow... okay, it is more impressive than I thought"

Raith wore a smug face and nodded.

'I should try it out though...'

He rubbed his chin with his index finger.

'...how do I do this, I should first create a body.'

"Shadow creation."

[Create a shadow using your imagination]

As instructed Raith closed his eyes, picturing the Fenrir– upon opening his eyes, it appeared on the holographic tab, just as he imagined it.

[You can make modifications]

"Okay let's make the skin white instead of black."

[That feature is not possible]

[Due to being created by the property of darkness: Shadow, all creations will have a black body and aura]

"Tch, nothing ever goes my way..."

He complained a little but focused his attention into what he was doing.

'Okay, let's make its eyes a little bit more narrow and fiercer, let's make it a purple aura burning from its eyes so it can match me.'

Just as Raith instructed, the modifications were done.

'That should be good.'

He checked the drawing representation on the holographic tab for the last time.

"Okay, that's good."

[You have completed Shadow Creation]

[Choose an Extraction key word]

[Choose a summoning Key word]

"Hmm... this is a big task."

Raith folded his arms and drove deeper into his thoughts for a few minutes.

As if he revealed a heavenly revelation he shot his eyes wide open and–

"Okay, let's choose, Awake my child for extraction and Come forth for summoning"

[Awaken Registered]

[Come Forth registered]

[Select the ego you want to merge with the created shadow summon]

> Fenrir Ego

> unknown Human ego

> Goblin king ego

[Regardless of the Ego you choose, they will have 100% unwavering loyalty to you]

'Fenrir'

[You have chosen Fenrir Ego]

[Do you want to merge Fenrir Ego with created shadow body]

"Yes."

[Merging...]

[Fenrir Ego is a high-level ego, hence shadow soldier will start from a higher level than a normal summon]

Black smoke began to emerge from the ground and filled the entire room on lower levels, in front of Raith, there was a sudden surge of black smoke that busted the roof of the castle, forming the figure of a giant wolf with purple eyes, at first the figure was irregular but in few seconds the body became smooth surrounded with black smoke aura with hints of purple.

The shadow monster bowed in front of Raith, lowering all its limbs and legs. Goosebumps ran through Raith's spine as he saw this.

He smiled.

[Due to the high level of monster, you can name it]

"Ah, Wolfe"

[Do you want to name the Shadow summon 'Wolfe'?]

'Wait, let's think about this well, maybe I should just go with Fenrir'

Raith exercised a little bit of patience to calm his excited state and think of a proper name– else, he makes a mistake he regrets everytime he calls the shadow monster by its name.

[Do you want to name the Shadow summon 'Fenrir']

"Yes"

A bright red light glowed above the black wolf, displaying the name 'Fenrir' in red.

[Fenrir]

Level: 01

Type: Beast

Rank: A

Skill: Thunder Roar(S), Fiery Charge(A).

"Amazing"

Raith was fully okay with what he had seen so far. At this point, not even the world can stop him. But he still had 49 more slots to fill.

This is why, he turned to the body of the Ogre that lay on the ground, lifeless and in a pool of blood.

He moved closer to the monster and remembered their fierce fight, he grinned as he thought about how powerful the Ogre will be when he gets summoned.

[You can use 'Soul Extraction' on target]

Black smoke swam around the body as the message appeared.

Raoth smiled with relief.

"Awaken"

The smoke around surged as if it was heeding his command but soon calmed.

"Huh?"

[Soul Extraction has failed]

[You have two trials remaining]

Raith gritted his teeth.

'Of course, it won't be easy. He's a named monster, even when he was alive, he has very cocky. But it is different now, I'm its master...'

"Then I should probably act like one."

Raith lowered his brow and looked down at the monster.

"When you were alive, you were arrogant and thought nothing can stop you didn't you? I know you are still arrogant even in your death but regardless I offer you a chance to serve me. To redeem yourself. So awaken"
