SHADOW SLAVE: A FINAL HOPE

With his bag packed, he left the house locking it while sealing the real HQ inside.

this place, the outskirts wasn't this peaceful and organised when he first came here it was a disgusting and harrowing hell at the start. not that it was a paradise now.

it took Fang Yuan 4 whole years to gain control over the outskirts and 9 to solidify his absolute rule, while to even the biggest of the legacy clans, it would seem impossible as to how a 9-year-old united 5 fighting factions led by awakened and one having a terrifying ascended as a mundane human, it wasn't something grand to him,

on the contrary, he could've done it in 1.5-2 years if he hadn't had to be so hidden about it.

It wasn't out of sympathy for the people that lived here, fang yuan knew that in any world you go there are going to be 3 kinds of people living in it

One being the absolute rulers, one being the working class and the last being the peasants or low lives.

It wasn't different for this world as well, due to the spell's arrival the order of this world, which was already on the edge of destruction due to the past natural calamities and resource wars was completely ended.

 People lost homes, their loved ones, their complete identities themselves in this grim reality, the government and legacy clans did their best to create order and safety.

The first generation awakened made that possible but even then why would they care about people who are not worth it they simply ignored them, although not completely the outskirts was still a place that had the worst possible facilities a human could've asked for to live in this world.

**********

he did it to gain more knowledge about this world as fast as he could and uniting and ruling these top people was the only way he saw at that time it was a risky plan but he still completed it flawlessly.

''ugh.. my head hurts thinking how much I have to do from no....'' pausing suddenly he thought ''Sigh this flaw, it's again acting up.''

''I knew the spells choosing a flaw for someone was bad but this was really a brutal one'' for Fang yuan. As someone who had mastered the control of emotions, thoughts and body reactions this flaw just made all those years of accumulation go to waste.

'' until I get rid of it I need to find a way to use it to my calling'' with that thought he said

''status''

Name: Fang Yuan.

True Name: echo of the forsaken will.

Rank: non-existent.

Class: non-existent.

Memories: [Sword of parting]

Echoes: —

Attributes: [voidborn], [combat sage], [otherworlder], [lesser demonic physique] [eyes of weaver]

[void born] Attribute Description: "You are a creature of the Void, summoned forth by the Nebulous Demon. Born of corruption, yet formed from nothingness, you are a paradox—an embodiment of destruction, yet devoid of essence. The very existence of 'you' is a contradiction, a being whose nature defies all laws, a force that both is and is not."

[combat sage] Attribute Description: "Forged by endless battles and tempered in the fires of life, you are a warrior beyond compare. A master of combat, unmatched in skill and precision, you are the greatest this world has ever known. for none can stand against your might.."

[other worlder] Attribute Description: "You are born of two worlds, belonging to both, but welcomed in neither. Your soul exists on the edge between the realities"

[lesser demonic physique] Attribute Description: "Born from the forbidden lineage of Weaver, you are a being brought from the very fabric of void, shaped and perfected beyond mortal reach. This body, crafted with otherworldly material, stands beyond the grasp of fate itself—an instrument of power, unmatched and unbound by the threads of destiny."

[eyes of weaver] Attribute Description: ''???????"

It was weird, all attributes and even his aspect were just made of two things ''void'' and ''fate'' with one of the eyes of Weaver being the most troublesome as it was an aspect that Fang Yuan knew nothing about and was the wariest of because weaver was the one who brought him in this world. THE DEMON OF FATE.

'So that's how it is…to stop the awakening the key is going to be winning against fate itself. how nostalgic~~'

He wondered if was it his innate Attribute — lesser demonic physique was the sovereign immortal physique because of how similar both these bodies felt to him and how the spell described it as being forged by otherworldly materials, but unlike the previous this new one felt like it was on the border of being a true immortal physique the one spectral soul desired.

But it was not. Although the body felt and looked the same they both were different and Fang yuan was capable of telling this difference why?

because the sovereign immortal physique even at rank 10 would be inferior to this new body which being the nebulous daemons gift felt like tailor made just for him.

But out of all these boons what made him wonder the most was [void born] what does this attribute does, he knew this attribute had immense power because of the heightened intuition he now passed thanks to [eyes of weaver] attribute.

The eyes held the power regarding fate and so increased his intuiations.

If his guess was correct, then this [eyes of weaver] and [voidborn] would serve him well in the future.

"Questions, questions…'

With a sigh, he turned to the runes once again.

Aspect: [Nihility].

Aspect Rank: unknown?

Aspect Description: [a being brought from the void left behind by that which once was. Your power is not the roaring blaze of creation or the bright light of life, but the cold, suffocating silence that follows the awakening of an unknown. You are the absence between breaths, the space between the stars—an existence that was never meant to exist.]

Aspect Ability: [nonexistent].

Ability Description :[Like a ghost lost to history, you wander through existence, knowing that you are an anomaly—a person who never truly existed at all. A being joined to fate not born from it]

Innate Ability: [watcher.]

Ability Descriptions: [Not born of fate, you are free to see its mysteries unfold. With eyes of weaver the demon of fate powers, your gaze guides you to the end of the path you choose. an end you desire!]

Flaw: [void heart].

Flaw Description: [ A heart rooted in desire, where emotions flow freely because there's no shield to hide them.]

{you cannot hide your inner emotions as you will show them}.

'cannot hide your emotions' Fang Yuan wasn't scared knowing his greatest weapon, his calm and tranquil mind was now nearly futile against the upcoming trials but he knew that this flaw had more to it then it looked out on the surface.

since coming fang yuan learnt and searched extensively about flaws the spell added alongside the powers it bestowed and one thing stood out of all to him.

the kind of flaws the spells give to everyone is their natural downside the spell doesn't give out flaws randomly but it gives the kind of flaws that the person has in himself known or unknown.

so he now knew the trials, the flaw, the spell was trying to hint him at something.

''my untrustworthiness to all, self-centred and goal-oriented mindset this was the spell's overall appraisal is on the weakness of my character'' which is why to open himself more the spell gave him this flaw,

the flaw wasnt something he cannot deal with; a few loopholes could make it not nearly as efficient as it could've been but fang yuans mind said different he wanted to try this flaw he wanted to see for himself why the spell seemed his nature flawed. until he finds a way to remove it ofcourse.

suddenly fang yuan remembered something and looked again but at something different.

Memory:[Sword of parting].

Memory Rank: awakened.

Memory Tier: VII.

Memory Type: wepon.

Memory Description: [Forged by the resolve of Xie han Mo, this sword was crafted to carry his burdens through trials beyond mortal endurance. the blade hums her love and sacrifice, a silent promise that no pain could make her stop helping him. A symbol of devotion, it is as unshakable as the heart that forged it.]

'who needs your help?' he chuckled 'Thank you for this final gift Han mo' but wait, was she only as strong as an awakened titan? huh! Fang Yuan felt dumbfounded but let it go and started reading.

Memory Enchantments: [Unbent], [Unbroken], [Searing affection], [Soul bound Relic].

Fang Yuan stared at the list of Enchantments for a while, his heart calm even with the flaw.

'Can't be…I got a soul bound relic at the start?'

[Unbent] Attribute Description: "Forged in the flames of unwavering devotion, this blade remains unyielding, as steadfast as the love that endures all trials. Its edge is sturdy with the clarity of passion, yet its strength lies in its refusal to bend—never faltering, never breaking, no matter the weight of time or battle.."

[Unbroken] Attribute Description: "Forged in the eternal fire of devotion, this blade stands unshattered, its edge as strong as love that cannot be broken. Its strength lies in its unyielding resilience, never fractured by time or trials, a testament to a love that endures, unbroken and pure.."

[Searing affection] Attribute Description: "Forged in the crucible of burning devotion, this blade blazes with the intensity of love that cannot be extinguished. Its edge, sharp as the fiercest passion, cuts through all, its very essence a searing testament to a heart that remains unwavering, ablaze with unquenchable affection."

he wanted to test it for himself! and summoned the sword.

'ah, it's beautiful!' as he summoned the sword the spell spoke up

[do you wish to soul bound Y/N]

Seeing the screen in front of him fang yuan said yes .

-------------------------------------------------

authors note:- do tell how you like the enchantments of the sword and for those wondering why gave him no armour so simple answer just read the upcoming chapters it will become clear why.

and secondly I think jets charector suited this level of playfulness although it seems more like effies way of talking but oh whatever .
