"Rant" Have you ever seen the moon rise in the Shadow Realm at dawn?
№0 (OP):
As the title suggests, I find it utterly baffling. Isn't our Shadow Realm a place where, from divine beings to ordinary shadows, everything crawls in darkness and dampness? Yesterday, I was using my shadow to explore a newly formed special shadow space, busily searching for treasures, when suddenly a vast expanse of white light appeared.
Describing it as a "moon" was just a romantic and subtle way of expressing it—like a nuclear explosion in the tech world, the area within perception was instantly engulfed in light. I didn't have time to dodge, and my connection with the shadow was completely severed. I lost one shadow and it took an hour to grow back.
№1 (OP):
Not to brag, but as a rare Ability user of the Shadow Domain, I do have some skills. And as everyone knows, our domain excels in hiding, stealth, and survival. This is the first time I've encountered something that left me no time to react, instantly killing me... So I'm posting to ask if any fellow forum members know what this could be?
№2:
Non-Shadow Domain person passing by, OP's words are quite amusing, will stay to see what happens.
№3:
How can there be light in a shadow space? OP must be drunk.
№4 Master of Nonsense:
Sigh, usually there wouldn't be strong light, but under unusual circumstances, anything is possible...
№5:
What nonsense from the floor above? Truly fitting of the ID.
№6:
To put it simply, in the mysterious world, there's no set outcome; there are always special cases (laughs).
№7:
I vaguely recall that the last time intense light appeared in the Shadow Realm was during the war between the Mother of Shadows and the Lord of Stars, which detonated tens of thousands of planets, setting half of the Shadow Realm ablaze, making it as bright as day for half a month.
№8:
Wow, the previous poster is quite impressive... May I ask, what era are you referring to when you say "last time"?
№9 Master of Nonsense Literature:
Last time is still last time (as answered).
№10:
...Master, please stop. How do you manage to respond to every question without providing any information at all?
№11:
The main issue is that we currently have too little information to make a judgment. Could the OP provide more detailed descriptions?
№12:
Exactly, since you've come to the intelligence section for help, show some sincerity, OP, and don't be so evasive.
№13:
I reckon the OP is reluctant to say because it involves vested interests.
The original poster has already mentioned that this is a newly emerged, special space, suspected to contain hidden treasures.
№14:
OP, let me take a look.
№15:
+111, if there's something good, we can search for it together~
№16 (OP):
Well, there’s actually nothing much to hide; that area has already been destroyed, and any valuable items have likely fallen into the hands of powerful individuals.
№17 (OP):
Here’s how it went. A few days ago, in a corner of the Shadow Domain, a peculiar black forest emerged, a place where shadows and dreams intertwine. It emitted a strong attraction specific to the Shadow Domain, and the shadows near the forest became more active. I deduced that there must be an item of considerable rank that had appeared, one that could even help me ascend a rank!
№18:
Wow, sounds like the beginning of a fantasy novel, with a secret treasure emerging!
№19 I Love Writing Novels:
№20:
What a fine poem! (applause)
№21:
Imagine if it were a mysterious, unclaimed artifact in your own field... Who could resist the temptation?
№22:
Though risky, the rewards are immense.
№23:
I bet that's what OP was thinking, which is why they rushed over.
№24:
Hmm, don't you find it a bit suspicious?
We all know that something sweet-smelling isn't necessarily a delicacy; it could be bait...
№25:
OP seems like the fish that got hooked, hahaha.
№26 (Original Poster):
Stop laughing, I wouldn't have gone if I had known!
№27 (Original Poster):
However, I remained cautious and did not venture into the unstable unknown space myself; instead, I sent the shadows to explore. The jungle had peculiar rules: once inside, one could only transform into creatures like rabbits, with significantly diminished vision, relying mainly on smell and hearing to navigate. Besides me, there were many powerful shadow creatures, all likely drawn to the area.
We followed the scent through the jungle, during which we pursued a woman who carried the aura of an artifact. She hid cleverly, but her physical abilities seemed no better than an ordinary person's—meaning that as long as she remained in the jungle, she would eventually be caught.
Just as we were about to catch up to her, I was fantasizing about getting clues from her and securing the artifact first, but then I was blasted by a white light...
№28 The Coolest Kid in the Shadow Realm:
...I understand you, OP. Because I was there too :）
№29:
Damn, another victim +1
№30:
But they can't really be called victims, since everyone went there voluntarily for profit and should have been prepared to bear certain risks and consequences.
№31:
I was there too. No wonder this story felt so familiar while reading it, turns out it was my own experience hahaha
№32:
The thought of us "rabbits" crawling around the jungle together in the OP’s description and then bumping into each other on the forum is just hilarious www
№33:
"Brother/Sister, what are you doing here too?"
№34:
HAHAHAHAHA
№35 (OP):
I said it, you can always find someone in the know on the forum! So, does anyone know what happened back then?
№36 The Coolest in the Shadow Realm:
I'm more surprised that you, OP, don't know anything at all? Didn't you recognize that silver-white light as a powerful contamination from the "Fate" domain?
№37 (OP):
Fate? I don’t know anyone from the Fate domain.
№38:
Sigh, OP, you should read the news and classic threads more often. Don’t just crawl around in the dark forest all day; you’re living like a savage with your abilities.
№39:
I can’t stop laughing.
№40:
It was actually the power of the "Fate" domain? That’s something I didn’t expect.
№41:
+1, because of the "moon" in the title, I subconsciously thought it was about celestial or fire domains.
№42:
L36 says this is pollution… That rank must be quite high, right?
№43:
Who has made a move this time?
№44:
With the God of Fate at the center and 7-9 ranks as the radius, the murderer is within this circle.
№45:
OP is a math genius!
№46:
In any case, it's either the Lord of Fate or one of His subordinates/followers/acquaintances who are both friends and rivals/...
№47:
Did any eyewitness see who it was?
№48 [Please spare me]:
The shadow glanced before turning to ash, but it looked very unfamiliar, and I didn't recognize it.
Sure, please provide the text you would like translated.
Here's a detailed description: You might not recognize him, but there might be a fellow forum member who does!
Chapter 50: Spare Me:
But what I saw was not even an adult; it was the outline of a boy under ten years old, his face still indistinct. His entire body was composed of silvery light, weightless and distorted like the moon’s reflection on a rippling lake... In fact, the description in the title was quite accurate; that was my first impression.
Chapter 51:
Is there currently a high-ranking being with the appearance of a child in the Domain of Fate?
Sure, please provide the text you would like translated.
The wielders of the "Fate" Ability, everyone knows, they have just as many means to adjust their age as those in the adjacent Time domain.
Chapter 53:
Indeed. My fated husband, one who restarts his life when things get tough, embracing a brand new existence, has left me struggling to find him lately, with no clue where he began his new chapter...
Sure, please provide the text you would like translated.
(about to speak but held back) (sighed) (patted on the shoulder) It’s not easy for ls either.
Sure, please provide the text you would like translated.
Not bitter at all. I’ve already started thinking about having a child soon, to see if I can bring my husband into this world through the Life Domain.
Sure, please provide the text you would like translated.
Excuse me, I'll take my leave. Please lock it down.
№57:
... Cheers 99.
№58:
Stay on topic! (Er Kang's hand)
№59:
I just organized the status of the higher beings in the Destiny Realm. Apart from the few we know, there are also some Grand Bishops and ascetics of the Destiny Pilgrimage... None of them match the description.
The only one with the appearance of a minor is Cardinal Lena, but she is a girl.
№60:
No, I have a bold idea: There is actually another being who neither appears before people nor belongs to the church system...
№61:
Who?
№62:
The one mentioned in the Holy Canon of Destiny, the only offspring at the knee of Destiny—His Highness, the Divine Son.
№63:
Impressive, this idea is really bold!
№64:
But the Divine Child should be in college, right? (Oh my god, how bizarre, a divine being attending college...)
№65:
The age and appearance of divine beings are quite flexible. By lifespan, the Divine Child is indeed still a little one. (Gesturing)
№66:
Alright, alright, mature college student during the day, and at night, a primary school-aged appearance of an incredibly powerful divine being... he's a famous detective... cough, wrong scene.
№67:
It’s actually a bit... oddly cute?
№68:
No no no, if you’ve been blinded like the OP, you wouldn’t find it cute. (Laughs)
№69:
#The oppressive aura of the Serpent of Fate lineage#
№70:
Cough, am I the only one still concerned about the OP’s condition? Oh my, this is divine contamination from the direct offspring of a true deity...
№71:
Under the influence of pollution, lz thinks everything is normal, but is lz really still normal? Think about it carefully.
№72:
I suggest lz get a thorough check-up as soon as possible. After an explosion of this scale, it's unlikely there would be no aftereffects at all.
№73 (OP):
I'm not a newbie in the mysterious world; I did check myself over as soon as I got back, and there really were no wounds or anything out of the ordinary!
№74 (OP):
Wait... speaking of aftereffects, does having a particularly bad day count?
№75:
How bad was it, roughly?
№76:
Same question. If it's not severe, it might just be psychological.
№77 (OP):
For example, the ritual materials I had agreed on a price for were suddenly snatched away, I almost got hit by a car when I went out, a bottle or can fell from above the sixth floor while I was walking, and when I opened a bag of bread for lunch, I found a live bug in the last bite...
Grass, it's so hard to kill (x)
№79:
After all this, is the OP only just realizing they've been influenced by mysterious forces???
№80:
The OP’s reaction time could circle the third dimension three times (thumbs up)
№81:
Speaking of which, though it sounds pretty unlucky, this level of damage... actually doesn’t have much impact on an Ability user, right?
№82:
+1, from the OP’s description, if they have the nerve to command shadows to enter the Shadow Realm at will, they must be at least a Fifth Rank Ability user; even if hit by a car, the car would probably suffer more damage...
№83:
Exactly, if the aftermath of contamination is only this level of bad luck, that’s really quite mild.
№84:
Hahaha, Divine Son: A warning to the garlic.
№85:
Unbelievable, the offspring of that one... is actually such a mild existence?
Praise Destiny:
Going upstairs, from the previous post, it seems that Young Prince Divine Child once saved his classmates in front of a near-divine being. He was quite benevolent, wasn't he?
Indeed, indeed, don't have too many preconceived notions about how cruel the Domain of Destiny is. The elders are actually very gentle.
Really? (0.o)
Raise your hand, for example, there's Prince Bryce who sings to street children!
And there's Layna, the church cleric, who listens patiently to every petitioner's plea, never showing any impatience. When she stands under the rose window of the church, she looks like a little angel from a fairy tale...
The ascetics of the Destiny Pilgrimage passed through our area. Though they seem quiet and distant, they respond earnestly when the locals offer them water... Oh, speaking of which, the green-eyed young man leading them is quite handsome. It’s a pity he didn’t leave any contact information.
Don’t even think about it. He’s a seventh-rank Ability user, and his actual age isn’t small. Not to mention, ascetics are usually the most devout believers, dedicating their entire lives to serving the divine.
It's so serious, it’s just about making friends...
№94:
The joys and sorrows of the forum members do not resonate; while you are having fun, only those of us who were actually there are agonizing over whether a glance from the Divine Son could be fatal...
№95:
Comfort ls, at a time like this, we can only pray.
№96:
Pray, pray for the leniency and mercy of fate (laugh).
№97 Not very friendly Shadow Realm creature:
Hmm, it’s rare for someone to mention our Shadow Realm. So, I’ll take this opportunity to ask—apart from the Shadow Forest mentioned by lz, did anyone sense any other unusual activities within the Shadow Realm yesterday?
№98:
What? There are more experts? (Alert)
№99:
Lss might find it hard to get an answer here. Most of the Ability users on this forum come from the material world, with very few genuine long-term residents of the Shadow Realm participating.
№100:
+1
№101 Unfriendly Creatures of the Shadow Realm:
Oh, I was just asking out of curiosity...
Yesterday, I suddenly heard the sound of a door opening. It’s hard to describe, but all the shadows around me were trembling slightly, accompanied by a metallic sound like a lock being turned, and then I had this intuition... that a sealed “door” had been opened.
№102:
What a coincidence, I do know about this! My teacher told me that just yesterday, the gates of the lost kingdom of Sombera were opened.
№103:
Wow, that’s the kingdom said to be cursed by the gods?
№104:
Sounds really dangerous.
№105:
The mysterious artifact from the “Shadow” domain, followed by the opening of the gate... Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence?
№106:
My intuition tells me there’s a connection, but I have no evidence.
№107:
Hey, do you remember when the Lord of Fate issued a divine decree to all believers and Ability users of the Fate domain?
№107:
I've heard something... It seems to be about believers searching for the realm in the shadows?
№108:
Is it related to Sombera?
№109:
No idea.
№110:
I have a premonition that some change is about to occur in the Shadow Realm... It’s a prophecy.
