    Bro why is it in every two three or four chapters someone has to start an argument, and when there's none for a while someone comes in charged with insults and trashing on the novel. Shadow Slave is a far cry from what it could have been, matters of fact I only read it because I've spent much time already on this but bash it with respect for the people reading this.

      We need some drama oru2x. But yeah I honestly I think it’s just ppl wanting attention as most of the comments I’ve read recently are almost if not identical to some I’ve seen in the past (during the beginning of the 3rd nightmare) when hating on the novel. Ppl don’t really have patience I guess

      if they had at least normal, adequate and logical complaints, I would understand, but no, they have this whole whining and complaints like "why didn't he just kill her?, why is the main character so "weak"?, why is she so strong?, He had to humiliate them". 0 reading comprehension.

      Really? I think the series is really well written. Maybe its cuz i came here from solo levelling and just had worse standards, but i really dont know where all this missed potential is if not for just the periodic filler we get sometimes

    1951 The Nuances of Proper Grammar

    It was going to take Aiko some time to prepare the new Memories for Sunny to peruse. In the meantime, he hesitated for a while, looking at the shimmering runes with a bit of trepidation.

    By now, he already explored those of his Memories that he had either personally crafted or altered. Two more remained, though.. Weavers Mask and Shadow Lantern.

    Sunny was a little afraid of them.

    He had already seen their weave, after all — and it was unlike anything he had ever witnessed. Even the most powerful Memories he had possessed in the past, Estuary Key and the Crown of Twilight, seemed like toys meant for an infant when compared to the unfathomable complexity of the weave hiding within the Divine Memories.

    Sunny had almost killed himself a couple of times by witnessing more than mortals were meant to perceive — like the endless tapestry of fate that Weaver's Mask could show him.

    He had not been harmed by merely looking at the weave of Divine Memories, sure. But there was a vast difference between taking a look at them and becoming one with them — fusing with the Silver Bell was already a shock, so Sunny was hesitant to do the same with either Weaver's Mask or the Shadow Lantern.

    Still, the temptation was too strong.

    Finally gathering his courage, Sunny sighed and summoned the Shadow Lantern. Soon, a palm-sized lantern appeared in his hand. It was made from a black material that felt like stone, but wasn’t stone, engraved with intricate patterns that resembled the scales of a serpent. A short chain was attached to a metal ring at its top, similarly black.

    The lantern's gate was carved from glossy black morion—needless to say, there was no light shining through it. Instead, the darkness around Sunny suddenly seemed to grow deeper, colder, and more impenetrable.

    Shadow Lantern was beautiful, but unassuming—not at all like a relic left behind by a god. Then again, maybe it was exactly the kind of thing that the elusive Shadow God would leave behind.

    It also only had a single enchantment... which was both quite simple and dealt with such absolute concepts and endlessness and infinity—

    Enchantment: [Gates of Shadow]

    Enchantment Description: [This lantern devours light and can contain, and then release, an infinite amount of shadows].

    That enchantment had served Sunny well in the past. In fact, it was one of the most useful and irreplaceable tools in his arsenal.

    He remained motionless for a while, studying the dark Memory, then sighed again and controlled his gloomy incarnation to wrap itself around the serpentine stone lantern.

    In the next moment...

    Sunny let out a horrified yelp and tossed the lantern away. Of course, that did not do anything, so he belatedly remembered to separate himself from the Divine Memory by allowing his trembling shadow to dash away.

    The Shadow Lantern fell on the floor and rolled a few times, its chain ringing in the silence.

    "Ah... goddammit..."

    Sunny found himself laying on the floor, having hit it hard with his forehead. Of course, his head was quite sturdy, so he wasn’t even bruised... the Marvelous Mimic, however, seemed to have received some damage. The floorboard was cracked, slowly repairing itself.

    A brick cottage could not really express emotions, but somehow, Sunny felt that he was surrounded by an aura of resentment.

    He let out a shaky breath.

    "Yeah... I'm not doing that again any time soon."

    Just as he had expected, fusing with a Divine Memory was not something a mere mortal like him was meant to do. His mind was too small, fleeting, and fragile to contain the vastness of the Shadow Lantern's weave, the weight of its enchantment, and humbling scale of its unseen expanse. The Divine Memory might have appeared no larger than a palm on the material plane, but truly... its essence was far too immense to fathom.

    Sunny slowly sat up and let out a low groan.

    "At least I didn't start with Weavers Mask."

    Shadow Lantern was a Divine Memory of the First Tier, while Weavers Mask... it was a Divine Memory of the Seventh Tier. It had more than one enchantment, as well, woven by Weaver’s own hand.

    Sunny was suddenly thankful that he was a little scared of his mask, having been traumatized by its [Where is my eye?] enchantment a long time ago. He had used it on several occasions — the last time already as a Saint, to see if he was really free of the Strings of Fate and disconnected from its tapestry. Remembering those times consistently made him shudder.

    Of course, fusing with Weavers Mask would be far more merciful than witnessing fate without the privilege of looking away. His mind would not melt, shatter, and collapse under the pressure... it was just that becoming one with something so much greater than himself posed a high risk of his sense of self being substituted by that thing entirely.

    Sunny had no plans of spending the rest of his life believing genuinely that he was in fact not a person, but a wooden mask instead.

    He had come really close to being irrevocably convinced that he was an intricate stone lantern, already.

    Shaking his head, Sunny closed his eyes for a moment, then threw a dark look at the Shadow Lantern.

    "That was close."

    The experience of fusion with the Divine Memory had indeed been perilous... but not entirely useless.

    Slowly, Sunny's expression changed.

    That said, it had not been useless.

    Remembering that short moment of being one with the Shadow Lantern, he scrutinized his feelings intently.

    He had not really managed to fathom the nuances of the spellweave of the Divine Memory, but he did become briefly aware of its true essence. That impression, although momentary, imparted a much deeper understanding of the Shadow Lantern to him.

    And of its single enchantment.

    Suddenly, Sunny's eyes widened, and he stared at the glossy morion gate of the stone lantern in utter disbelief.

    "No... it can't be."

    And yet, it could.

    He was paralyzed by shock.

    "The Gates of Shadow?"

    Long ago, soon after receiving the Shadow Lantern, Sunny had wondered how it was able to contain a literal infinity of shadows. Where did the shadows he sent into the Lantern really go? He had even sent one of his own shadows inside, learning very little as a result.

    He had also tried to store the Fragment of the Shadow Realm in the small stone lantern, attempting to test if its capacity was really infinite. The Fragment could indeed be sent into the Shadow Lantern — sadly, no matter how hard Sunny tried, it could not be retrieved.

    There was no reason Sunny knew why the Shadow Realm's Fragment would not return from inside the Lantern, like all other shadows would, but that was what he had discovered on Alethea's Island. The discovery had crushed his hope of being able to move his piece of a Divine Domain freely wherever he wished.

    But now... now, Sunny had a strong suspicion about what the reason was.

    It was because the name of the single enchantment of the Shadow Lantern was much more literal than he had thought.

    Gates of Shadow... not of the Shadows, but of Shadow.

    "Made pale and feeble by the radiance of day. Shadow laughed and rose from the ground."

    That was what the Nightmare Spell called Shadow God in the description of the Lantern.

    So, the Gates of Shadow were really the Gates of Shadow God.

    Where would the Gates of Shadow God lead?

    Sunny stared at the small stone lantern and its tiny morion door with an expression of horror.

    There was only one logical answer.

    They would lead to Shadow God's Realm.

      1952 Choice Paralysis

      'It just doesn’t end today!'

      Sunny stared at the Shadow Lantern with a strange expression. Today, he had discovered the key to mastering the next step of Shadow Dance, elevated his sorcery, and now, found out that the door to the Shadow Realm had been in his pocket the entire time!

      Well... technically, these revelations had unfolded over several days, as Aiko so helpfully reminded him. Still, how was his heart supposed to handle so many stunning discoveries? 'Who cares about my heart? I have six spare ones, anyway!'

      Standing up, Sunny carefully picked up the Shadow Lantern and studied it, a deep frown forming on his face. He was fairly sure his theory was correct. In that brief moment of fusion with the Divine Memory, he and the Shadow Lantern had become one and the same. In that instant, he’d glimpsed a bit of what the Shadow Lantern truly was, as well as what lay hidden beneath its surface.

      Although he couldn’t fully comprehend it, he was certain of one thing — the gate of the Shadow Lantern led directly to the Shadow Realm. This would explain why it could hold an infinite number of shadows, as well as why the Fragment of the Shadow Realm could be stored but not retrieved. That Fragment had been torn from the Shadow Realm when a dreadful being escaped it, and by returning the Fragment, Sunny was, in a way, mending a rift in the Shadow Realm itself.

      And there was no chance he could pull an entire Divine Domain out of the Lantern, after all.

      Just thinking about all of this made Sunny feel incredulous. The Shadow Realm... His gaze grew distant, his mind wandering to the implications.

      Out of the six Divine Realms in existence, only the Seventh — the Shadow Realm — remained. When the Dream Realm was born, it slowly consumed the mortal realms, absorbing them into itself, along with five of the six Divine Realms... or so Wind Flower had told him. Sunny strongly suspected that the Stormsea had once been the Divine Realm of the Storm God. Godgrave had likely belonged to the Sun God. The Burned Forest may have been the Divine Realm of the Heart God. As for the Beast God, fragments of its realm lingered in the Song Domain. Finally, Earth seemed to have once been the Divine Realm of the War God, humanity’s patron deity.

      While five Divine Realms had been accounted for, the Shadow Realm had always remained a mystery. Where was it? Had it been swallowed by the Dream Realm? If so, where in this nightmarish world were the remains of the Shadow God’s Realm?

      Sunny had never seen or heard of a place resembling the Realm of Shadow. So he’d always wondered where it went. And now... he could go find out.

      The thought made him shudder with a sense of profound dread. Could he? Should he?

      The first question was simple — yes, he could. His shadow had entered the Shadow Lantern back when he first acquired it. Now, with Shadow Incarnation and the ability to control his shadows directly, he could do it himself. In fact, he probably could have done it even before becoming a Saint, simply by using Shadow Step to assume an incorporeal form. The only issue had been the unknown inside the Lantern, and that there would be no one to summon him back.

      But now, one of his avatars could hold the Lantern while another ventured inside. He could maintain at least two avatars indefinitely, and Shadow Step no longer drained his essence passively.

      The possibility was certainly there. But should he?

      The reason for caution was obvious. Venturing blindly into a fallen Divine Realm was asking for trouble. Godgrave, Stormsea, and Burned Forest were all deadly, representing some of the most nightmarish corners of this harrowing world. Sunny had no reason to assume it, but somehow, he felt that the Shadow Realm might be the most dreadful of them all.

      Yet, there was a compelling reason to explore it, too — his missing Titan Core. His Aspect had always made it harder to saturate his soul, and that difficulty seemed even greater now that he was a Saint, especially given the absence of Shadow Creatures to hunt.

      Wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume there were plenty of them in the ruins of the Shadow Realm? Entering the Shadow Realm was the most certain way he could think of to become a titan.

      If Sunny managed to become a Transcendent Titan, he’d gain another core, another shadow, and another avatar — and Serpent would also ascend. That would allow Serpent to take on the forms of titans Sunny had slain, like the Fallen Titan Goliath or the Winter Beast. Such a power would add a valuable trump card to his arsenal, and he desperately needed those, especially with the Sovereigns to face.

      A long sigh escaped Sunny’s lips.

      "Damnation..."

      He had so much to do already! Crafting Memories was his immediate plan, but there was also the looming war, his need to learn about the Sovereigns before facing them in battle, and Nephis was finally coming back to camp. That meant he could finally see her again.

      Now, exploring a dead god’s lightless realm had been added to his list of things to accomplish.

      Sunny covered his face with a palm and groaned.

      “What the hell?”

      With seven bodies, how was he busier than ever? Shaking his head, he took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling.

      For now, the only question was... what was he going to do first?

      Sneak into the Shadow Realm or make a breakthrough in weaving?

        It must probably be very dangerous, we cannot forget that the shadow realm also served as a prison for several terrible creatures, but at the same time it is very tempting... 😬😬😬

          I have similar thoughts and the most scary one of them is Gods.
          If Gods are dead where are they?

        Now I remember [Where are my eyes?] and [Definitely not me], doesn't the sense of naming seem similar to Weaver? This sounds really amusing (normally I would have come up with some theories but I remembered that Sunny who is interested in Weaver's secrets might inadvertently acquire some similar traits - like a son and his father - assuming they are the same bloodline)
