The surroundings soon began to distort gradually.
The air itself seed to twist, the space around him warping in strange, unnatural ripples as though reality had suddenly beco unstable.
Logan quickly placed his thoughts at the back of his mind.
There was no ti to think.
Without hesitation, all twenty of his daggers appeared from within the system space and danced around him like a storm of death.
Sharp tallic glints flashed through the distorted atmosphere as the daggers spun around him in perfect synchronization, their movents swift and precise, forming an impenetrable orbit around his body.
A chuckle escaped the space.
The shadow didn’t attack yet. Rather, it spoke in an amused tone, calm and oddly entertained.
"A fancy attack... but this is my domain."
"Within my domain, I’m god."
The mont the shadow finished speaking, Logan felt his connection to space disintegrate bit by bit.
It was subtle at first.
Then sudden.
The familiar sensation of control slipped through his fingers like grains of sand, fading rapidly no matter how hard he instinctively tried to maintain it.
The storm of daggers spun to a stop.
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
The weapons fell heavily to the ground almost instantly, the sharp tallic sound echoing strangely through the distorted surroundings.
Logan was slightly shocked, but he reacted quickly, imdiately taking out the SSS-rank sword from the system space.
Normally, it was impossible to comprehend a domain at lower ranks.
He simply couldn’t fathom just how terrifying the shadow’s true strength was.
Even now, what stood before him might not even be its complete self.
The shadows within the domain suddenly stirred.
Like living creatures awakened from slumber, they danced violently before slicing toward him from every direction.
Without hesitation, Logan brandished his sword, cutting apart the shadows that attacked him one after another.
The shadows resembled writhing tentacles, twisting unnaturally through the air.
Yet at the sa ti, they felt strange.
Part illusory.
Part real.
As though they existed sowhere between substance and emptiness.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Logan’s sword slamd into the shadows repeatedly.
Yet they didn’t budge an inch.
Rather, they continued pressing closer and closer toward him, unyielding, almost oppressive in their persistence.
Logan glanced around his surroundings and frowned slightly.
This was too troubleso to deal with...
Fortunately, he had already thought of a counterasure for situations like this long ago.
Logan was soone who always prepared for the worst possible outco.
At any given mont.
Ding!
Silently, inside Luna’s room, the gleaming golden coin resting atop the bed shattered into pieces.
At that exact mont—
Logan’s figure vanished.
The space where he once stood twisted faintly before becoming empty.
He had disappeared from the domain entirely.
The shadow tentacles froze mid-air, as though startled by Logan’s sudden departure.
"He escaped."
The shadow didn’t seem disappointed.
If anything, it sounded calm.
This was still within its calculations.
In truth, it had never wanted to kill Logan.
On the contrary—
For now, Logan was still needed.
"To achieve that, he’s still needed. After that, it won’t be too late to kill him."
Although the shadow was strong, even possessing a domain, this clone body alone couldn’t contend against the principal and the stronger origin warriors within the academy.
"It’s nice that I still got what I ca here for."
A vague voice drifted softly through the space.
Suddenly, from underneath the ground at the exact location Logan had previously been standing, another shadow slowly erged.
The shadow tilted its head in curiosity as the main clone body reappeared.
"It seems you’ve gotten it completely."
The host spoke confidently.
If it had a face, there would likely have been a smile on it.
The shadow slowly raised its hand.
Imdiately—
Space rippled.
"SSS-ranked space affinity... another addition to our collection of origin abilities."
"It won’t be long before we create a new origin path."
The secondary shadow dissolved into droplets of fragnted darkness before fusing seamlessly with the main body.
After taking a slight inhale, the domain was released.
The distorted world collapsed.
And the shadow appeared back in the real world.
Its gaze landed on the interesting young girl currently running for her dear life.
The shadow flicked a finger casually toward her.
Instantly, her shadow rippled subtly before becoming stable once more.
"She should be useful for the next phase of the plan," the shadow muttered to itself before finally dissolving into darkness.
After regressing, the shadow had imdiately gone to the god-runes and obtained the inheritance of the fallen shadow god, granting him a god-grade origin ability—
Shadow Control.
He could manipulate any shadow in existence.
And by mimicking another person’s shadow, he could replicate their origin ability.
A grin almost seed to form on the shadow’s nonexistent face as it vanished completely.
It had already used Luna’s origin ability to mask its presence.
Even Logan wouldn’t be able to discover it now.
No matter how much he tried.
...
Logan appeared inside Luna’s room.
Seeing that he was safe, he finally let out a breath of relief.
However, his expression darkened instantly the mont he recalled the shadow from before.
’What kind of enemy is that?’
Almost subconsciously, Logan lowered his gaze toward his own shadow.
A chill ran down his spine.
As long as there was light and darkness—
One’s shadow existed everywhere.
Not only did his shadow stretch across the room, but countless others surrounded him as well.
The warm lamp light cast a faint swaying silhouette across the floor.
The bed projected a long shadow beside it.
Even the furniture created pockets of darkness.
Simply put—
There were shadows everywhere.
’And wherever there’s a shadow... he might just be present.’
Logan’s heart grew restless as he continued studying the shadows in the room carefully.
Nothing seed unusual.
Nothing felt wrong.
Yet sohow—
The longer he stared at them, the more unsettling they beca.
An invisible discomfort crept under his skin.
’How did it regress?’
’How is there suddenly a regressor within the novel?’
’And... am I the only transmigrator?’
Logan recalled the circumstances surrounding his own transmigration.
The goddess of lust had sent him here.
But if there was one goddess—
Who was to say there wasn’t a second?
Or perhaps even another god entirely, one who had chosen to send soone else into this world.
’What’s so special about this world?’
’And why did the shadow call the bastard son of origin?’
Too many unanswered questions filled Logan’s mind.
He didn’t dare voice any of them aloud.
For all he knew—
The shadow could still be watching his every movent.
He had to be extrely cautious moving forward.
The shadow already knew far too much.
It knew about the summoning path.
It knew about the awakener path.
Logan thought things through carefully.
His strength was already exposed.
That ant there was only one way left for him to stand against the shadow.
’I need to awaken a third origin path.’
’Preferably a potion path this ti.’
The potion pathway was unique in many ways.
Besides, there had never been an SSS-rank potion origin path awakener.
Mainly because resources were simply too scarce.
But Logan knew that limitation didn’t truly apply to him.
As long as he possessed the system—
He could purchase whatever treasures were required to improve his potion abilities.
Thinking of the system, Logan frowned slightly, his gaze turning solemn.
If his guess wasn’t wrong...
Astra had specifically sent him to the treasury so he would encounter the shadow.
He still rembered the reward.
Alongside it had been listed—
**Unique Information.**
Was this the information Astra had ant?
’Astra... what exactly is going on?’
’Are you playing gas with or sothing?’
Astra remained silent for a mont.
Then—
Sigh...
[Master, I think it’s ti you learned so of the secrets about this world.]
