Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 20: Black Shadow

" <Summoner ... Class> ,,,!!!! " Donovan asks as the System tells him that he can now summon monsters from both of his waters and shadows as those affinities are perfect for summoning.

< Yes User Donovan, you can now summon monsters that the 'Black Tree' once absorbed ... > the System tells him.

" 'Black Tree'? " Donovan plainly asks as he seemingly didn't remember where he came from.

< Yes!!! do you still remember, user Donovan? >

Hearing that, Donovan then wonders what that means suddenly.

" Black Shadow .... "

" Summon .... "

" Imbue ... "

As those vague voices come into his head, Donovan then accepts the new class as she then performs his first summoning.

< Summon: >

< Black Shadow Minion (LVL.1) >

As Donovan said it, his shadows then widens like a pool as it then summons around 20 Black Shadow creatures that looks very scary at first, after that the creatures then looked at the little Donovan and bowed to him as they put their heads below as they respected the one who summoned them.

" What are they doing? " Donovan asks.

< They are bowing to you, User Donovan ... >

< These are your servants, your apostles, your worshipper ... >

" Worshipper ....? " Donovan is confused.

" But I'm not a god, am I? " Donovan asks as the System suddenly says.

< No you're not ... >

< But you're .... you're ...BZZTTT BZZZTTTT ..... > the System says as it suddenly errors

< ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR >

< Information unavailable ... information not complete ... incomplete .... >

< Must return to the Double ... Dungeon ... >

< Must return to .... the Black .... Tree ... >

< Return ... Return .. Return >

< Down ... > the System is down as it then quickly returns as it then changes the topic as it then tells Donovan that the servants there are waiting for his order which the System suggest to give it some test as the System prepares the <Training Room> inside the Space so Donovan can train using his < Black Shadow Minion > as he probably needs it in the future.

" Okay .. I'll give it a try ... " Donovan says as he then inhales some air.

" One .. Two ... Stand Up !!!! " Donovan orders the Black Shadows Minion to stand up as they then did it immediately and then Donovan then tells them to march behind him as he then leads them to the <Training Room> as he then receives another Quest from the System.

< Quest: Order your Minions (1 hour) >

< Instructions: ... >

As Donovan sees that, he then leads the march as proudly as he can as he occasionally orders them to do what he wants for an hour as he orders to walk, march, run, jump, hide and seek and all of the things that we all expect from a child like him, a minor orders but a lot of energy wasted as his *EP bar (Energy Point bar) decreases into 0 and needs some time to recover.

< EP: 0/2.000 >

As his EP is 0, the recovery process is very slow since his body also slowly recovers his energy in order to do his work as well as his black shadow minions who seem to be so tired after that whole debacle.

" Oh, this is very .... tire ... ing ... " Donovan says as he proceeds to fall on the ground again so his tiny muscles can recover their energy to enable him to walk well again.

" As he says that, he also saw that his MP is also decreasing as the Black Shadow needs his Mana to manifest, otherwise they will disappear immediately.

Knowing that Donovan then decides to Un-Summon them as the black shadows return to him which stops the MP depletion.

< So, how's your training with the Black Shadows, User Donovan? >

< Is it difficult? >

< Is it thrilling? >

< Is it .. >

" Tiresome? .. yes ... " Donovan says as he tells the System if his MP and EP should be depleting like this which the System then tells him that he could use some foods and potions regarding that, although.

< Sadly, user Donovan is unable to consume those since ... >

< User Donovan doesn't have those things inside User Donovan's inventory > the System says as it tells him that Donovan hasn't begun to fight any monsters or enemies yet as it shows the current inventory.

< Inventory: 0 >

Seeing that, Donovan can only exhale as he then asks the System to let him out from the System Space as it then logs him out back into his room.

As he return, Donovan lands on his bed as he feels the calm feel of the softness of his pillow which enables him to quickly sleep as it definitely charges up both his HP, MP, and EP.

< HP Charging >

< MP Charging >

< EP Charging >

< All Points are recharging due to sleeping by +50% >

< Charging Time= 02:58:43 >

As the sleep charges those points, Donovan immediately dreams of the Black Hand Tree that he came from below the very tree, he can see his Black Shadow Minion and some other black shadow beings praising it, as they all bow into the ground while Donovan tries to talk to them but sadly there is no answer.

To his thoughts, the Black Shadow Minions that he summoned earlier are able to hear his voice in his dreams as they then bow in front of him, awaiting his orders without even speaking their request.

"( They want me to order them but order them what? )" Donovan asks as he then asks the Black Shadows if he can have their swords which they reject that very order since the System tells that they are unable to as the Black Shadow Minions somehow communicate with Donovan without using a word at all but still Donovan gets their reason no matter how silent their conversation is.

As he hears their answers somehow, he then asks if they can bring some to him the Black Shadow Minions then looked at each other and looks back at him with a nod as they disappear from his sight which made Donovan shocked as he still wanders inside his dream.

In reality, the Black Shadows (without Donovan's notice) decided to be summoned as they will Donovan's order, even in his dreams as they all come out to find him some equipment and inventories.

(At the same time.)

" Is it true, that this is their place? " said a random person as they wear their armor while watching the Richter-Grimshaw's villa.

" Of course, the maid said it so. " one of them says as they looked at the Richter's family servant that they had kidnapped earlier which they then use the <Ravager Orb> to essentially, ravage her mind, emptying it as it made her burst out any information that she had inside her very mind.

" So, are you people ready ...? "

" To avenge the 4th Guildmaster .... "

" Warblade Guild ...? " the person who seems to be the leader says as it shows that 100 members of the Warblade Guild that once served Ardun are with at that place as they prepare to avenge the 4th Guildmaster.

Extra:

*Energy Points or EP is basically a measurement point to value how much energy Donovan has right now as the bar basically works like those in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Genshin Impact.

For Example, the EP will heavily decrease if Donovan uses large movements such as running, doing heavy attacks, climbing, swimming and etc etc etc, activities that will need a lot of energy.
