MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

< LOOT >

1️⃣ 50,000 EXP

2️⃣ Demon Prince's Crown x1

3️⃣ Diamond Staff x1

4️⃣ Unique Passive Skill Book x1

5️⃣ Unique Spell Book x1

The Loot hologram appeared on my screen.

Upon seeing the loot I was close to jumping in joy. Not only did I get a unique spell, but also a unique skill!

Inspecting my loot I felt the EXP being absorbed in my body.

< Congratulations on reaching Lv. 4... Lv. 6... Lv. 8... Lv. 10 >

< Level 3 → Level 10 >

< +140 SP >

I'm probably the most powerful player as of right now. I recalled that the first player reached Lv. 10 was one month after the [ Fragmental ] release.

Smiling from ear to ear I appraised two wearable items that the boss had during the fight.

1️⃣ < Eerie Staff > [ Gold ]

-- Staff made out of the Eldritch wood and Diamond

~ MP +50

~ INT +25

2️⃣ < Demon Prince's Crown > [ Platinum ]

-- A Crown made for the Ruler of Demons

~ MP +75

~ MDEF +80

~ HP +100

~ [ ??? ] Sealed

The new Staff I got was very powerful, but my eyes were glued to Demon Prince's Crown. More specifically the Sealed part of its description. Sealed Description meant that to access the Hidden property of the item I need to become powerful enough to release the seal. The sealed items were rare, but not so sought after like Unique Skill books.

Equipping both items I felt my Attributes increase by a huge margin. Unfortunately the < Darkling Staff > had to go. Leaving it in the rubles I made extra sure to lay it down as softly as possible. This was the first weapon I used after all.

After the funeral ended I walked up to the window and looked at my reflection.

What greeted me was a young Demon male with black hair and eyes as dark as void. The game doesn't let one change their appearance, so players could not commit crimes or they might be recognized in real life. Even though the game doesn't let you change your appearance you can gain items that could cover your face.

My eyes were attracted towards the top of my head. The previously small and normal horns were now formed in a shape of crown seemingly symbolizing power. The horns looked majestic, but it will attract attention which I don't need yet. Sliding my robe's hood on my head I managed to hide my new horns.

Taking out two books from my inventory I couldn't help, but smile widely. In my previous life I didn't even dare to think that I could get a Unique Book. With my trembling hands I held the Spell Book and used it.

< New Spell Learned! >

Opening the Spell tab my body suddenly froze.

1️⃣ Demonic Flame < Lv. 1 >

-- A Flame that can endlessly grow by eating...

~ True Damage

~ AoE Damage

~ Cost 20 MP

~ 10 second cooldown

In my mind gears were spinning trying to process what I've just read.

" What does ' Endlessly ' mean ? "

I was mumbling under my nose while trying to wipe off a huge smile on my face.

To have a Spell which can endlessly grow is a blessing. I couldn't even fathom the power it will have in the future, but I knew that this game is cruel for its players and it won't be easy to grow the spell to that level. I was trying to imagine what a skill that breaches the authority's power would look like.

Suddenly an idea came to my mind.

Turning around I saw the Prince's corpse still laying on the library's floor. The corpse's of the monsters would disappear in a few minutes after the creature is killed.

Quickly approaching the boss's corpse I used my new Spell.

A White Flame appeared on my palm. Even though the Spell was mine, I held my breath. The flame looked strangely beautiful and intimidating. Lowering my hand I let the flame spread on the prince's body. The corpse was burnt into crisp in a minute and a hologram appeared on my screen.

< Demonic Flame devoured a Hidden Boss! >

~ +2% Magical damage

~ +2% Cooldown reduction

My eyebrows twitched at the Flame's upgrade. It didn't even level up, but its growth was huge.

I was close to drooling thinking about the Demonic Flame devouring the World Boss. I somehow managed to control myself from playing with the white flame and took out another Unique book.

Using the book I closed my eyes for the good luck charm.

< New passive Skill Learned >

Opening both of my eyes I took a peek at the new passive Skill I got.

1️⃣ Dark Energy < Lv. 1 >

-- Gather Mana while staying in the Darkness

~ 15 Mana per minute

~ No cost

~ No cooldown

I was happy, because I got a boss skill that is very rare. Unfortunately my standards were very high since I got a Demonic Flame, hence I was only amazed for about 5 seconds.

My past self would beat me to death If he saw my reaction. Good thing my past self can't travel through time, right... Righttttt???

Downing another HP potion I Shook off the useless thoughts and opened my Status.

I had around 140 SP and I was tempted to put them all in INT Attribute. Who doesn't want to have high damage?

Controlling my inner Ape I put 70 SP into agility. The boss fight highlighted that I was not agile enough. Imagining myself fighting against an assassin was painful.

All the other SP I split in half and put into INT and MP Attributes.
