Chapter 8. Unexpected misfortune
Kailen's gaze shifted from the television to his phone at the sound of a notification.
''When will these guilds stop pestering me'' It has been 2 days since he made his debut, causing the whole city to land in a state of shock. The video of his feat at the Smallville County had spread to every nook and cranny of the city, causing everyone to know about him.
The three guilds in the city had been constantly sending him ridiculous offers incessantly to join them, offering varying amounts of money and privileges. However, Kailen had ignored all of them.
Also, right outside his villa were a group of reporters who were doing everything possible to stalk him for any opportunity of his appearance so that they could interview him.
''I need to find a way to escape this crowd of reporters and head to the wilderness to create more shadow creatures. I need to increase my strength. Heading to the awakening center to take on a mission will only worsen the situation. Didn't know how much I hated crowds until now... Fame is really tiring" Kailen sighed inwardly, then stood up from the couch, he turned off the television, then headed to the balcony of the house.
He had just been struck with an idea on how to escape the annoying reporters.
''Since the balcony faces the outer zone of the forest, I can use that as a shortcut to the forest.. why didn't I think of this ealier?'' Quickly, he activated his shadow manipulation skill, sensing the shadows in his immediate environs. The shadows begun to move, assuming dark ethereal outlines as they gravitated towards him.
The shadows enveloped Kailen from head to toe , solidifying into some sort of armor, his whole being now completely dark, as black as night.
''System, I'm pretty much gonna secure a harmless landing with this reinforcement right.?''
