Chapter 6 - A New Game
"Wow. These abilities are sick!" Vincent muttered under his breath as he oversaw the pitch black mass that covered the whole field.
He had only wanted to test out his new 'Shadow Monarch' powers and now has an army of shadows in the millions.
Most of them consist of Zombies and Skeletons, meanwhile a handful of them are the shadows of the Warden, Elder Guardian, Wither Skeletons and Blaze.
The grades of the shadows are pretty much identical to the manhwa, it goes from Normal, Elite, Knight, Elite Knight, General, Commander and Grand Marshal.
There's also two new grades.
Saint and Apostle.
'It seems to be related to the fact that this ability is called [God of Darkness]… that much was obvious to even an average person like me.' He thought.
Saint Grade.
He has no shadows that's even close to the Commander Grade let alone this one, and from what he understood from the description, the Saint Grade qualification is for the Shadow to undergo certain qualitative changes.
Most shadows level up in the form of quantitative changes, like multiplying their mana levels and such but they're not fundamentally superior than their previous self, given enough number, a previous version of themselves would be able to defeat them.
For the Apostle, it was another qualitative change but the catalyst of that is supposedly me, he need to appoint a shadow at the Saint Grade into an Apostle and bestow them with greater power.
It wasn't complicated and would be able to keep most things interesting.
Since he got the 'Great Sage' or what was now called 'God's Wisdom', the ability began to take control of the automatic defense using 'Infinity' and 'Vector Manipulation'.
Now, the infinity has a near-perfect filter that can filter out even subatomic particles and the vector manipulation can work with almost no chance of failure due to his own human limitation because the one actively calculating its process was the 'God's Wisdom'.
'Hm, should I activate this ticket?' He thought as he stared at the white ticket in his hand.
He decided to inspect it once again.
[Name: Invitation Ticket]
[Description: An item given by the «Multiversal Chat Group» system.]
[Effect: Will randomly choose 5 people throughout the multiverses to be invited into the «Multiversal Chat Group»]
"Eh, who cares?" He muttered as he activated the ticket by ripping it apart.
The magical energy imbued into the ticket began to dissipate and disappeared from existence.
Before a seed of doubt and disappointment could take place, a series of notifications was heard inside his head.
'Ah, there it is.' He thought.
[Invitation has been accepted.]
[Invitation has been accepted.]
[Invitation has been accepted.]
[Invitation has been accepted.]
[Invitation has been nullified.]
[Searching for a new target…]
[Invitation has been accepted.]
Inside the group chat multiple messages began popping up.
[Welcome, «World's Weakest Hunter» walked into the Chat Group!]
[Welcome, «Green-Haired Crybaby» punched into the conversation!]
[Welcome, you're finally here, «One Punch Man»!]
[Welcome, I'm glad you paid a visit, «Invincible»]
[Welcome, «Anomalous Human» have arrived!]
Vincent quickly scanned through the universe they came from and he was slightly stunned.
He had managed to partially deduce the identity of the obvious ones yet seeing them being right sent a shiver down his spine.
The «World's Weakest Hunter» is obviously Sung Jin-Woo and from his nickname it must be pretty early in the series, the protagonist of Solo Leveling.
The «Green-Haired Crybaby» is undoubtedly Izuku Midoriya, he couldn't tell whether it was pre-One For All or post-One For All, the protagonist of My Hero Academia.
The «One Punch Man» is not going to be anyone but Saitama, it could be Saitama from any point of time, the protagonist of the series of the same name, One Punch Man.
The «Invincible» is also pretty obvious, the young superhero Mark Grayson, almost everyone has no clue about their stage of story, the protagonist of the Invincible comic and animated series.
The «Anomalous Human» is pretty broad but due to several hours of scrolling through random SCP articles he couldn't help but think of SCP first when shown the word Anomalous and he happens to be right.
Solo Leveling, My Hero Academia, One Punch Man, Invincible and SCP.
'How come someone from the SCP universe is here? Isn't it kinda unfair? Though I'm barely knowledgeable about the subject, I only read a few articles because people are talking about it.' He thought as he remembered that the SCP universe was considered to be a pretty dangerous world.
"I'd say 'pretty dangerous' might be an understatement." He muttered as he remembered the article he'd read.
SCP-001: When Day Break.
SCP-096: The Shy Guy.
SCP-173: The Sculpture.
SCP-049: The Plague Doctor.
SCP-682: The Hard-To-Destroy Reptiles.
SCP-001: Scarlet King.
SCP-001: Swanns Entity.
SCP-2747: Anafabula.
SCP-3143: Murphy Lawden.
And more, though other than these godly entities there's many other creatures while still dangerous for a human, not a world destroying kind of dangerous.
"System, shouldn't there be a more powerful entity that exists in the SCP multiverse? Or should I say that you're more powerful than anything else that can be found there?" He asked.
The system provided no answers for a moment.
[System Notification: I am a system created by Game Master 101, an entity that exists beyond the boundary of any extensions of Multiverse, Omniverse or whatever else that can be found here. That and the fact that «Anomalous Human»'s SCP universe are considered to be the world that follows a 'Canon' that has nerfed versions of most characters and mostly lacks any Godly entities roaming around.]
Herobrine: Welcome to the Multiversal Chat Group, here's a meeting gift.
[Herobrine gifted an item to each member.]
•=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=•
[Solo Leveling World.]
Sung Jin-Woo sat down at a bench.
He has already finished his daily quest for today.
'I don't really want to repeat the same mistake again…' He thought as he remembered the consequences of his actions before.
He was currently staring at a notification from a system.
Since he had woken up after the double dungeon incident, he managed to see a floating game-like UI in front of him.
But today, as he was about to start his training, a new system popped up.
It was a [Multiversal Chat Group] system.
He accepted the invitation and then started his training.
Back to the present he was now holding a Golden Apple.
It exudes an overwhelming amount of pure mana but not thick enough to attract anyone's attention.
He carefully typed something into the chat.
World's Weakest Hunter: What is this fruit? It emits the level of mana I have never seen before!
Herobrine: That's just a Golden Apple. I think you should try to inspect it.
"Inspect?" He muttered as a sudden system panel appeared before him.
[Name: Golden Apple.]
[Description: An apple wrapped in gold ingots, can restore lost vitality and increase physicality temporarily.]
[Effect: When eaten, the user will receive an extra 20% health and healed 20% of your full health, this apple would also reverse zombification.]
"20%? That sounds good." He muttered as he took a bite.
In a matter of seconds, he quickly finished the entire apple.
It was definitely delicious.
Suddenly, Sung Jin-Woo felt a fluctuation in his mana as it burst out and quickly increased in amount and quality.
He looked into his status window.
[Intelligence: 703]
'One apple somehow unleashed so much mana to the point I managed to multiply my mana level by a few hundreds… scary! If he can casually gifted 5 of them to us, then he must've so many treasures.' Sung Jin-Woo thought as he imagined the identity of the figure named Herobrine.
