NOVEL WEB Chapter 5: Shadows Grow Stronger
As Katsumi continued hunting, he experimented with his power. Every enemy he slew had a chance to become his shadow soldier. Soon, he had a growing army of darkness following him. Even the weakest goblins and wolves, when turned into shadows, gained immense strength.
He realized he could command them with a mere thought, directing his army like a king leading his soldiers. The stronger he became, the more efficient his control. His Shadow Reaper, now named Kuro, acted as his second-in-command, ensuring the weaker shadows fought in perfect coordination.
With each battle, he grew stronger, leveling up rapidly. The System constantly rewarded him—stat boosts, new abilities, and even hidden techniques. It was exhilarating. For the first time in his life, he felt invincible.
