Shadow Slave: Book1

Product Information

Neither the augmentation of the burning shadows nor the tenacious nature of Blood Weave were enough to overcome that terrible fatigue anymore. In exchange for his reports about the things he noticed during his expeditions and the movements of Nightmare Creatures across the Chained Isles, he was all but free from other tasks, only occasionally having to do a small chore or stand watch during the darkest hours of the night. [19] He admitted that he was contrarian and antisocial enough to balance the agreeableness of people who chose the life of service. [73] Apparently, both Nephis and Obel thinks that he underestimates himself and his abilities. [74] [75] Sunny couldn't bring other living things through the shadows, but his Aspect had already shown that it treated Nephis as an extension of him in certain instances, or more accurately, Sunny as an extension of Nephis. They were connected by Shadow Bond, which meant that their souls were bound together. [107]

The worldbuilding starts to get good at this point, unraveling the history of their alternate Earth, the nightmare realm, and its mysterious cosmology of dead gods and ancient horrors. Volumes three and four (set in a vastly different setting again) dive even further into this and the politics of the new human factions. It really feels like this one is going somewhere interesting. When Nephis returned, he had the impression that something precious, something vital that he had lost had been suddenly returned to him. [216] He only liked the waking world better than the Dream Realm because it was safer and had nice things, like delicious food, comfortable furniture, and network dramas and Rain. [199] Ability Description: [Find a worthy master and let them know your True Name. Once they recite it out loud, you will be bound to their will, unable to disobey any command. It is improper for a shadow, let alone a divine one, to walk around without a master.]Came from the Forgotten Shore, where he lived in the Dark City completely alone and went slightly mad. He managed to survive three whole months in the ruins by hiding in the shadows and hunting carefully chosen prey at night. [34] [190] Not long before Sunny was born, a Rank 5 Gate opened, which left a whole continent uninhabitable. [180] The feeling of alienation he felt while living with Nephis, Cassie, and all the newcomers in the outer settlement. [55] In Chapter 1186, Sunny revealed he was Mongrel and all his Shadows ( Saint, Nightmare and Raveneous Fiend)

Jet was riding Nightmare, so she was far ahead of the rest of them. Effie was maybe the fastest runner among the group of survivors, so she was ahead of the pursuers, as well.If it were not for the fact that his Titan kills were somewhat murky, he would be going around demanding people to call him " Titan Slayer". [229] After Sunny had five shadows, the range at which he could control them exceeded twenty kilometers. [111] Despite how complicated his relationship with Cassie is, he could put away his resentment for the sake of mutual benefit. He's a very pragmatic person when he needs to be. [61] He was really bad at dealing with his feelings and for him, fighting hordes of Nightmare Creatures was much easier. [62] Usually, Sunny felt a lot of negative emotions every time he thought about the Innate Ability of his Aspect, Shadow Bond, which tied him to Changing Star's will. However, after he learned how he and Nephis can augment each other, his curiosity and greed for power briefly overpowered his resentment. [70]

When he made coffee for himself, Nephis, and Cassie, he dumped 2 spoons of sugar into his cup. He also knows the coffee preference of Nephis and Cassie. [220] Anyways I don't like him being slave to her, I'd rather he be a slave to the shadow God or the system by mistake, like the system was the first to call his name so it would have been funny if it recoignized the system as his master, that would have been far better than this. Sunny knew how precious and fragile trust was. He had taken time to extend his own trust toward Effie and Kai, but his friends respected his silence and did not push him to reveal his secrets. [83]One of Sunny's wishes is to be taller and that was granted when he challenged his Second Nightmare though the body given by the Spell to him was not that of a human. The imagination shown off in world development and plot so far are top notch but something about how it’s written is like nails on a chalk board to me. The sun was setting, and they were still running as fast as they could. His exhaustion had long transformed into something much more dire and primal. Sunny had not even known that an Ascended body could be that drained of... everything.

This Aspect Ability evolved after his ascension. Due to the authority of his attribute [Master of Shadows], he can now command natural shadows to move and change shapes according to his will. [87] He could only manipulate wild shadows (cast by inanimate objects) with Shadow Control. The deeper and older the shadow, the more concentration was required to command it. When commanding distant shadows, he also felt more strain. His command range was nearly ten kilometers long. On the other hand, his shadow sense didn't usually go quite that far unless they were his own shadows. [109] Attributes: [Fated], [Flame of Divinity], [Master of Shadows], [Blood Weave], [Bone Weave], [Marble Shell]. Aspect Description: [You are a miraculous shadow left behind by a dead god. As a divine shadow, you possess plenty of strange and wondrous powers. However, your existence is empty and lonesome; you mourn the passing of your former master and long to find a new one.] Weakness: He needs to be surrounded by shadows to manifest them. This was covered by [Shadow Lantern] which helps Sunny carry an infinite amount of shadows. [109] Previously, Sunny held contempt for Legacies, believing they were arrogant and hateful, someone who did not deserve the unfair privileges bestowed upon them by nothing except for birthright. However, he eventually valued and admired some of them. [77]He had to only spend around four hours in the Dream Realm before he could use the gateway again. [198] He can maintain composure despite seething emotions, honed through years of battles and conflicts. [71] The Spell is not fair, it is cruel and unpredictable. But Sunny is from the slums of a futuristic dystopia - more akin to a Warhammer 40k hive city than a modern day city - if anyone could survive it, it's him. He isn't honourable, he values his life, holds grudges, is woefully underprepared and underpowered for most of his journeys... But he learns, he adapts, and he courts death through the Spell's countless trials. This allows passage into certain sacred places inside the Dream Realm and enhances several types of sorcery. It initially came from the [Temple Slave] Aspect. He had sworn off alcohol after his experiences on the Forgotten Shore, but he wasn't against making some money from it. [198] But he became a Master, he was unable to get drunk unless he wanted to. His body was going to treat alcohol as a weak poison and resist it. [199]
