Chapter 23: Next Day
Within a dark cavern, a silver-haired man rushed through the area as he aggressively swept through the vicinity. Killing all and any monsters that come at his way.
He destroyed all the monsters in his way with a loud thunderclap as he screamed at the top of his lungs out, "ARGHHHH SHINTOOOO!!!!"
The silver-haired man was Arceus.
"YOU FREAKING PIECE OF SHIT, GHOSTING ME AND NOT ANSWERING ME!"
Arceus continued to curse as he cut down the pitiful Lycan-wolves that were trying to escape from him.
"...Yip!" The monster let out a scared scream as it turned into grey ash.
"UGHHH!!!" Arceus angrily stabbed his sword to the ground as he cleared the monsters within the area. Quickly, he turned his gaze over to his system logs.

[ This person is not receiving any whispers at the moment... ]
[ This person is offline. ]
Arceus stared at the screen as he frowned. Inwardly cursing to himself.
"This freaking guy! He could at least goddamn explain to me what the heck is going on in the rankings!" He clicked his tongue, "So much for being 1st! Ugh, I can't even feel anything with this placing!"
Arceus angrily complained as he heard a howl from within the caverns. As hasty footsteps drew near.
"Bah! Whatever! I'll get an answer from that freaking guy later! Now is dungeon farming first." Arceus said as he lifted his sword up as he prepared a combat stance.
...
Hasegawa Zayden comfortably slept on his bed, as he heard a loud ring that resounds through the room.
"Ugh..." Zayden groaned as he moved his body about, covering his ears with a pillow to lessen the loud noise.
Though, him covering his pillow didn't help reduce the sound that was ringing through his ears at all. The sound was still loud and thus Zayden abruptly got up.
Rubbing his eyes as he stretched his arms, Zayden scrutinized his room to find out where the loud sound was coming as he noticed that the sound was coming from his phone.contemporary romance
"...What? Why is my phone ringing..." Zayden lazily grabbed onto his phone vibrated in his hands. Looking at his screen, all he could see was a black screen with large words on it: 'Alarm'.
"Huh? When did I even on the alarm on my phone..." Just as he questioned the oddity of it, his eyes locked onto the sentence at the bottom of the word 'Alarm'.
(Wake up you dummy! If not you'll sleep in the entire day again!)
"..."
Zayden blinked twice at the sentence. As his mouth was opened wide. 'How and when did Jisa do this?' He thought to himself as he turned the alarm off.
Letting out a loud yawn, Zayden got off his bed, as he checked his messages from last night. Rienla and the others he had replied to from the night before had replied back. As he skimmed through his inbox, Zayden felt like coughing blood as he spotted his DM on Arceus was filled with another '99+' beside his last message.
"Crazy... He sent another 99+ messages overnight while I was asleep? This is just..." Zayden let out a sigh as he clicked on Arceus's DM and then quickly as he did so, he left the chat. Finally, he now has a clean inbox on his Discord.
"Anyways... I should see whether or not Jisa messed with my phone or not." Zayden exited the app as he looked through his phone. "How the heck did she even access my phone anyways? It has a password..."
Zayden shook his head helplessly as he left the room, heading towards the bathroom to wash up. Soon after, Zayden headed over towards the kitchen area where he noticed a note on the counter.
"Huh?" Upon noticing the note, Zayden approached the counter as he read it.
「Dear brother Zayden. REMEMBER TO EAT PROPERLY!!! I've prepared some food for you in the fridge so eat it well and since you eat ramen almost every day, go and make yourself an omelette!
Oh and PS: Your phone's password is easy to crack get a better password! Why would you use patterns?」
"...Jisa" Zayden sighed helplessly as he read the note. Quickly he opened the fridge as he found the food prepared by his sister in it.
The food that Jisa prepared was the usual, rice, vegetables, miso soup and some katsu chicken. Looking at the food made Zayden's stomach growl as he quickly heated the food.
While he heated the food, Zayden took two eggs from cartons as he cracked the egg and cooked it on the frying pan.
At the end of the session, the omelette that Zayden had cooked came out a little burned.
"...Well, it's better than nothing I guess," Zayden sighed at his inability to properly cook the omelette as he ate it alongside the dishes prepared by Jisa.
After finishing his food, he quickly headed over towards the capsule as he logged into Spiritual Warriors.
[ Logging into the game... ]
[ Player 'Shinto' has come online. ]
Within the calm forest by the Town of Parm, Shinto spawned within the area he had logged off before.
Gaining his senses in-game, Shinto looked around the vicinity of the area. Unlike the dark surroundings from last night, the forest was now bright and sunny under the blue skies.
"Alright then... Since it's day now, I might as well test this class capability during daybreak." Shinto searched the area for any suitable monsters to fight as he noticed two plant-like monsters, Leafios's walking by the pathways from behind the bushes.
Taking a step forward towards the two, he hurriedly gripped his staff as he sent a mana bolt over towards one of the Leafios, quickly gaining the monster's attention.
[ You have dealt 34 damage! ]
Unlike last night, where Shinto dealt damage below the twenties, his damage from the basic attack as increased considerably.
'Hmm... The damage increased huh? It must be thanks to the class attribute.' Shinto thought to himself as he cast a veil of shadows towards the two enemies.
[ You have entered a 'dark' area. All attributes in the night will be active. ]
"I see... So that is how it works," Nodding his head in understanding, Shinto sent another basic attack. This time, towards the other Leafios.
[ You have dealt 9 damage! ]
Seeing that he had dealt lesser damage than he did outside of the darkness, Shinto swiftly left the field as he sent a ray of light over towards the monster, turning it into grey ash.
As the other monster leapt out of the field, Shinto swiftly sent another basic attack as he turned it into grey ash as well, ending the battle.
[ Your Divinity Stat has risen by 1 ]
"Phew..." He let out a sigh of relief, "Looks like with this, I've got a pretty good understanding of my class now."
Shinto eyes glanced over towards his gauge, as he saw that the divinity gauge was regenning faster than shadow's compared to last night.
"Alright, now that the basics of this class are done... I'll need to find ways to be able to use both sides to it's fullest." Shinto thought to himself, "Though... I've only used four abilities from this class. The fifth ability is..." Shinto opened up his skill list as he glanced over to an ability he had yet used.
[ Shadow Recreation Lv 1 ] [ 50 Shadow Gauge ] [ Cooldown: 10 Minutes ]
*Summons a shadow minion on the field, to help out in battle.
*This shadow minion has it's own personality, thus would depend on how you raise it.
"The last ability that I unlocked by default from this class... A summoning ability." Shinto analyzed the description of the skill, "I wonder what this shadow minion is... Would it act as an NPC or as a pet like how summons from summoners works? Hmm..." Shinto thought to himself.
"Well... I can't test this out yet so I can only theorize since I've yet gotten 50 Shadow Gauge to be able to use this ability... He sighed as he closed his ability list.
"Anyhow... Now that I'm done here I should-" Just as he was about to finish his train of thought, he received a message.
