Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

Although there is a monitor on the upper left side of the wallet, it doesn’t matter. He has more than a dozen ways to avoid being detected by the monitor, and the simplest one is…

“the world.”

Time has stopped.

This is the magic he learned after the worlds merged. He named it "the word" because he thought a certain character in an anime in his previous life was very cool.

He slowly picked up the wallet and returned it to its original place.

"Remove it, leave."

Everything is still the same as before time stopped, except that there is one wallet missing on the field.

I got home, closed the door, turned on the light, drew the curtains, and took my wallet out of my pocket.

"Now, it's time to check the harvest. Let me see, one, two, three, four, five... it's 20 Zeni, and... a student ID! Himeragi Setsuna?"

After making sure that there was nothing left in his wallet, he threw his empty wallet and student ID into the drawer and lay down on the bed.

Two years ago, whether or not to return something he found on the ground to the owner depended on his mood.

If you want to become a Shadow Master, you need wealth to buy some top-level collectibles to serve as a face value. In the original world, most of his funds for Shadow Master activities came from killing thieves and taking the stolen property for himself.

In Sid's opinion, picking up money on the ground is no different from robbing other gangs. The source of both is other people's wealth lost accidentally, but one is obtained through luck, and the other is obtained by robbing other gangs.

Sometimes when he is in a good mood, he doesn't mind looking for the owner of something he found.

Until a year ago, in order to fight against foreign enemies, one must first stabilize the country. The three worlds united and started a large-scale anti-bandit operation. Since then, his stable source of funds for the Shadow Power activities has been cut off.

Although he also joined in that operation and raced against time with the anti-bandit forces to plunder a large amount of funds, but without a stable source of funds, he would be left with nothing, and he couldn't bring himself to borrow from Gamma.

Therefore, as he has been trying to find a new source of funds for the past six months and is extremely short of money now, he has no intention of returning the money.

Anyway, the student ID can be reissued, and the money found is only 20 Zeni. No matter how you think about it, the woman named Himeragi Setsuna is unlikely to starve to death, so just think of it as her paying for her kindness.

"Gu~gu~"

The rumbling sound from his stomach brought Sid back to his senses from his thoughts.

"It's time to eat."

First of all, he did not buy any groceries and the refrigerator was empty. He got off the bed, walked to the desk and opened another cabinet. There were several flyers with magic circle patterns on them in the cabinet. Without even looking at them, he picked one up at random, walked to the living room and threw the flyer into the air.

The flyers floated up into the air, forming a magic circle with a radius of about one meter. A tall female figure slowly emerged in the middle.

"Hello, I'm... it's you, Sid. I was thinking that it's been almost a week since you summoned me. Maybe I had too much desire last time. I feel relieved to see that you are in such good spirits now."

"It's you, Tsubaki-hime. It's the same price and the same thing this time. Please."

"What? You look so listless. Do you know any other demons besides me?

But forget it, for the sake of being an old customer, I will take less this time."

"No need, Tsubaki, you said that I haven't summoned you for a while. I'm in good spirits now. You can take as much as you want."

"You... I'm serious. Look at how half-dead you are now. If you keep trading desires, it will affect your body."

"But I only have desire to trade with, and if the trade is not fair, you won't be able to explain it, right, Chunji?

Anyway, desire can be restored after a period of rest, so it’s fine as long as it’s useful to you, Chunji.”

"Oh..., okay, but I'll take less this time. My master won't say anything if it happens once or twice."

The woman in front of him, with long hair like a waterfall, a pair of glasses on her pretty face, a serious expression but a hint of intellectual beauty, is called Shinra Tsubaki. She is a new-age half-blood demon and one of his victims who got away with it for free.

In people's impression, the devil is a kind of insidious, cruel, dark and evil creature that obtains the life and soul from humans in the form of transactions. That is the old devil.

As mentioned before, there was a three-way war between demons, fallen angels, and angels in World No. 1. In that war, a large number of people from all three parties died, and their numbers were so small that they had to rely on humans to reproduce, which were the demons' pawns.

It can allow humans to reincarnate into other races. The reincarnated humans will be hybrids, and at the same time their strength and potential will be increased. Although it is expensive, it is worth it.

It's not that humans can't have chess pieces, it's just that having the blood of other races has a certain bonus. But think about it from another perspective, even if some pure-bloods can't get chess pieces, getting chess pieces as a pure human is itself a recognition of their talent, potential, and strength.

Each set of demon chess pieces can only have one king. The stronger the king, the greater the increase. The chess pieces other than the king are the king's followers.

The number of chess pieces a king has is limited, which means he cannot reincarnate indefinitely.

For every owner of a set of King Demon chess pieces, given the limited number of chess pieces, the question is whether to choose those with ordinary talents or those with superb talents as followers. The answer is obvious.

In this situation where they need to rely on humans for reproduction, using the old demon system to trade will only ruin their reputation, so they changed to using human currency to trade, and the scope of transactions also changed from power, wealth, and fame to helping with games, relieving psychological pressure, finding lost pets, etc. It feels more like a jack of all trades.

Chapter 6: Shinra Tsubaki

The first demon he saw was when he just moved to Gengami Island. He summoned it by accident at that time... Who was it?

After taking a look at Shinra Tsubaki who was cooking, Sid thought about it carefully.

It seems... maybe... perhaps..., the one who was summoned at that time was Shinra Tsubakiji... right?

When he knew that he had to charge a fee to get the devil to do something, he thought about not summoning him. After all, he was short of money. Then Shinra Chunji said that the quality of his spiritual desire was very high, so she could not charge him and instead collect his spiritual desire as payment. Although his spirit would be sluggish after collecting the desire, he would only need to recuperate for a few days.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, he agreed. After his desire was taken away, he did feel uncomfortable, but he recovered immediately. To be precise, he only felt uncomfortable that one time.

It cannot be said that they did not take away his desire, it can only be said that the desire they took away was not as fast as his recovery.

In an instant, he realized this and instantly hid his emotional fluctuations. Although he still looked weak on the surface, he was already opening champagne in his heart.

If he hadn't been rational, he would have signed a long-term contract on the spot. He remembered that she said that ordinary people need to recuperate for a few days before they can recover, so as a minor role, he couldn't recover in one day.

But he couldn't convince himself to give up his long-term meal ticket, so he just had to find a way to avoid being discovered and recover in one day.

Find a few more demons to sign contracts with, and then summon them every few days for a whole week. In the absence of mutual information, as long as they think they are the only demon he has signed a contract with, then in their perception he will only summon them every few days. As expected of him, he easily came up with a method that perfectly fits the character of a supporting role.

"Okay, the meal is ready, come and eat, I'm going to clean up."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

As for what Shinra Tsubaki said about her half-dead appearance every day, the reason was not because her desires were taken away, but because of the magic hammering method that was maintained twenty-four hours a day.

Although he only practiced basic swordsmanship for an hour and a half today because of Na Yuejiang, he did not stop his daily basic training.

Controlling the magic power in the body and integrating it into the flesh for compression, while refining the magic power, giving the flesh a pressure that can only be felt in the deep sea, this is a training method that cannot be more reasonable. The price is just that you will be listless every day, constantly endure the pain of your flesh being torn apart and instantly repaired, plus you may turn yourself into meat paste if you are not careful.

Every time Sid thought of this deal that perfectly fit his supporting role and allowed him to get a year's meal ticket for free, he couldn't help laughing.

“Hoo, hoo, hoo hoo hoo…!!!”

Sid's extra radar suddenly sounded an alarm, instantly awakening him from his smug state of grinning.

"Oh, that's strange."

After Sid came to his senses, his extra radar stopped immediately and he looked around. There was no one around him except the girl with glasses who was bending down to show off her slender waist because she was cleaning.

"An illusion? Never mind. I'm too lazy to think about it. Let's eat first."

Shinra Chunji, who was sweeping the floor with her back to Sid, looked nervous with a blush on her face, and the serious temperament she had at the beginning was gone.

Shinra Tsubaki feels that Sid likes her. This is not just speculation, but the conclusion she came to after a year of observation.

In her opinion, Sid is a very hard-working person. She knows that Sid trains alone after school every day. As the vice president of the student union, she can still do such a small thing as checking the surveillance. He does not only train after school, but also completes the daily magic swordsman training in a depressed state and then does additional training.

He is such a hard-working person, but he is willing to devote his spiritual desires to summon her. Although he can recover after a few days of cultivation, the mental malaise during this period cannot disappear.

Sid would look at her and grin foolishly from time to time, but she didn't hate it. To be precise, she quite liked the way Sid grinned foolishly. Just looking at him made her feel happy and it felt very cute.

She is very popular, and she knows it very well. As a chess piece (queen) of a pure-blooded devil, her lover is destined to be taken in as a follower by her master, Chichi Sona. With her master's potential, even if he was originally an ordinary person, after becoming a follower, he will have the potential to become a superior devil (A-level). It can be said that by becoming her lover, power and authority can be obtained.

Maybe she is a little boastful, but she still knows that few people in school can compare with her figure. Coupled with her good looks, she is often stared at by boys with disgusting eyes. Although they will quickly look away every time they glance at her, she is still very familiar with the disgusting lustful eyes of boys.

But Sid's gaze was completely different from the way the boys in school looked at her. His gaze was clear, without a trace of lust. It was a smile that came from pure happiness that he couldn't help but let out.

At first she was puzzled as to why Sid couldn't help but smile happily when they were alone together. As time passed, she came to the conclusion that Sid liked Shinra Tsubaki.

This all made sense. Why did Sid, such a hard-working person, always summon her whenever he recovered his energy? Why did Sid smile happily when he looked at her? Because he liked her. He liked her so much that he couldn't help but smile when he was just with her.

She didn't know what to do about Sid's secret love. She could refuse the usual confessions directly, but taking the initiative to tell him that she didn't like him and asking him to give up the idea of ​​confessing to him always felt a bit unreasonable, and she might be criticized. Talk about being sentimental.

Moreover, she mentally simulated what would happen if Sid confessed to her, and she found that she couldn't be sure whether she would choose to refuse or accept, so... she might as well pretend to be an ostrich. Anyway, it didn't look like Sid would take the initiative to confess. , just pretend that she didn't realize that Sid liked her.

If Sid had the strength of A-, no, B+, she wouldn't have to think so much. If she really liked it, she could just say it directly. But she has a master, and she is a pawn like the queen. Her master is the sister of one of the four great demons. She must consider her master. This semi-forced method of making her master take in followers will only backfire.

All in all, before Sid confessed his feelings to her, she planned to keep her distance to avoid getting deeper into trouble.

"By the way, Tsubaki, I summoned you so early, you probably haven't eaten yet, come and eat with me."

"Ok."

Looking at the chopsticks in her hand, Shinra Chunji fell into deep thought. When did she sit down?

"that…"

She stood up and tried to get away.

"Will you respond to someone else's call later?"

"Yes, after that I..."

"Don't worry, I'm in great shape this time. I can definitely match your trading volume several times. Just take it. Just treat it as a vacation."

I can't refuse it at all. Never mind, just this once, I'll keep my distance next time.

With this thought in mind, Shinra Tsubaki temporarily gave up the idea of ​​keeping a distance and instead focused on chatting with Sid.

Chapter 7: The Xiao Family Brothers and Sisters

"Remember what I said, Sid. These days are not peaceful. Don't run around at night. Stay home if you can."

"Don't worry, I've remembered everything. See you next time, Tsubaki."

"Okay, see you next time, Sid."

Seeing Shinra Tsubaki's figure disappear in the magic circle, Sid picked up the magic circle flyer that had turned back into paper, threw the flyer into the cabinet at the beginning, went to the refrigerator to drink a bottle of milk sent by Ita, then fell with his back to the bed.

"Then Yue-chan and Tsubaki-hime both said that something might happen recently. One of them is a coincidence, but both of them said it, which proves that something will happen recently. It seems like a suitable stage for the powerful shadow to appear."

It has been decided. We will go to the school to search for information in three days. As for now, we will exercise first.

Pure white crystals appeared in the air and floated to Sid's bed.

"Inhale~exhale."

Taking a deep breath, Sid closed his eyes, and his body buried under his pajamas tensed up the next second.

The triple magic body tempering method is the same as the magic tempering method he maintains twenty-four hours a day. The only difference is that it is amplified three times.

In fact, he wanted to maintain the triple hammering method for 24 hours, but he could rely on instinct to maintain the first time, but he had to concentrate on the third time, otherwise he would really die.

However, even though it was a training that theoretically would kill him if he slacked off, he still focused a little of his attention on the suspended white crystal. In a pure white space, Sid's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Let's learn fire magic today."

As this thought came to mind, magic books appeared in the space. Just the sight of them in front of him made one feel burning. They were undoubtedly fire magic books, and they were the best ones.

"The largest magic book treasury in World No. 1" is referred to as "the treasury", which is what Sid calls the white crystal block.

The library was found by itself after the fusion of the worlds. As he called it, it contains a large amount of magical knowledge. When the consciousness is projected into it, the speed of time in the outside world will slow down ten times.

At present, after his comparison, all the magic he saw in World No. 1 can find corresponding knowledge in it, and it can be confirmed that it is the product of World No. 1.

When Sid saw the library, it made some strange noises and then stopped in front of him. After using the knowledge recorded in it to translate the noise, he translated a few words.

"Cross...Resurrection...matches."

This can't be translated into a single sentence (fall)!

He didn't know its origin, nor did he find any introduction to the library in it, but just based on the knowledge recorded in it, if it really recorded all the knowledge of World No. 1 as he guessed, then it was definitely one of the top treasures.

Since no one was looking for the library, he just used it himself. After all, the library came to him on its own.

After using the library for a while, Sid felt that he needed to retract his preface. This was the world's top treasure, no doubt about it.

The magic power used by people in the three worlds is different. World No. 1 is "magic" power, which can convert various elements and use magic. Most people are suitable to be mages. World No. 3 is magic "power", which is difficult to control once it leaves the body. Most people strengthen their bodies and fight in close combat. World No. 2 has both, but the top row will release the magic power out of the body.

In theory, a person's magic power is difficult to change, and it can only be achieved by combining with someone from another world to produce offspring that combine the different characteristics of the two worlds.

But the library can change. Even if he first obtained the method of change and then used the library to change the magic, this method was originally derived from the knowledge recorded in the library. What's more terrifying is that it can be spread.

Gamma is the weakest of the seven shadows. Although she didn't say it on the surface, Sid knew that Gamma always cared about this, so after he transformed his magic power, he went to find Gamma as soon as possible. Gamma had poor fighting talent and was not suitable for close combat in World No. 3, but she had a good brain and was suitable for magic combat in World No. 1.

The initial idea was to let Gamma use the library to convert a trace of magic power, and then take it into the body to affect the magic power of the whole body through this trace of magic power to make changes. It seems simple, doesn't it?

But Gamma can't see the library. Yes, he can't see it. Even if the library is right in front of him, he can't see it.

But this was just a small problem. Since Gamma couldn't see the library complete the transformation, he could use his magic power to transform his entire body. Anyway, that little bit of magic power would dissipate in a few days and would not have any effect on the body. This was what he thought at the time.

The next day, in his perception, the magic power was divided into seven parts.
