Chapter 10: Emerge

He woke up at 11AM the next day, yawning with no care in the world of who saw him, he freshened up in the shower, and dressed up and as usual he signed in but he was shocked to the core by what he got

[Congratulations to the host for winning the abilities of the shadow monarch]

[??? Interfers, recalibrating, wait a moment host]

After two minutes, the system came back

[ By the authority of ??? The host will be allowed to select 6 members from the shadow monarch army]

Anthony was stunned, the being intervened again, didn't the being say he won't be able to see him again, but it kept coming back, was it...bored

Immediately he thought this, the system message changed

[ By the authority of ??? The host will be allowed to select 3 members from the shadow monarch army]

He saw that the original six has dropped to three because of his useless thoughts, he wailed, he apologised but the system didn't change, it even inserted a 1 minute timer which started counting down immediately

Out of fear he immediately picked his shadows

[Host has picked Bellion the fallen Angel]

[Host has picked Beru the Ant king ]

[Host has picked Igris the Swordmaster]

[All shadows have been summoned, they are all at Paragon level 9]

Anthony was astonished, he got the three strongest, all of them at Peak Paragon rank, and even got the shadow monarch ability

He could use this ability in tandem with blood servant and it would be.....

Anthony's mind exploded, he started guessing if he was ???'s son, it came bearing gift each time, the being knew the shadow monarch was his best fictional character, so he presented him with gifts, he wanted to bow in a random direction but before he could, three shadows materialized out of no where, Anthony was shocked by their appearance.

[Host should choose a command word]

Anthony thought for a while, he wanted to use the shadow monarch popular word but who knows whether he would be killed by the shadow monarch in a parallel world out of anger, he stole his shadow soldier, stole his abilities, and now he stole his phrase wasn't that courting death, and last time, the shadow monarch was already a god, who said he hasn't gotten stronger again.

Then he picked his word "Emerge"

[Command word "Emerge" has been saved]

Then Anthony looked around and said with happiness coursing his veins

"EMERGE"

A black purple aura spread, and beings woke up from their slumber, they all varied from master Rank to paragon

He looked around and saw there about three thousand people buried here according to the butler, but he got only 120, this was already a huge gain. They all remembered their past life but now they are loyal to him. They all knelt and greeted "Master"

He noticed only two people were at the Peak Paragon rank, one was an assassin, the other was pure marital artist who used his body, Anthony had respect for martial artist.

He asked their names, the assassin's name was 'unknown' when he was alive since no one ever caught him, he died of old age, the martial artist was called George, he only asked these two people their names, the rest he didn't have brain capacity to remember them, he sent them all to the shadow world, told them to train and breakthrough.

All of this happened in 5mins, he then removed the space barrier and he left with the butler.

When he arrived at the estate he asked the butler "where did Mother and father go?"

The butler replied "They had businesses to handle for sometime they would be back soon"

Anthony nodded and returned to his room after having breakfast, but his parents weren't here to keep him company, when he entered he counted his shadow, he had 20 Paragons that was a nice spoil, 40 Grandmasters, 60 Masters all of them in the shadow world training to break through to the next rank.

As they are Shadow they no require no sustenance aside mana, they could train forever as far mana was provided, and who was Anthony?, he was the boy who wished for an infinite mana passive skill, be would abuse this skill in the future.

Then he opened his phone and just scrolled through his chats and went to the Mana-net to see if there was any news today, as he pressed his phone. The whole day passed by and it was already 1AM, he sighed as he didn't get to see this parents today.

With that he went to sleep.
