The void within the familiar domain began to crumble under Leo\'s watch, instantly expelling their being toward reality.
Appearing within the familiar cemetery as the silver moonlight shone toward their beings...
Meters away from him, the complete figure of the man slowly unfolds toward the world... Its brown skin devoid of any innards (organs and skeletal frame) appeared in the doll\'s lifeless sight, making one\'s stomach churn as the man\'s skin face still showed the unprecedented horror within even though it lacked eyes and mouth... And even lack soul!
AUGHH!
Not long after, a painful high-pitched cry resounded within the cemetery, causing the grass and forest to rustle uncomfortably as the shadow being (Leo) held his shadow head in pure pain and agony.
Due to him spending almost 3/4th of his mental energy earlier in order to operate the domain... Leo\'s sanity slowly came back to him, making him groan uncomfortable as an intense pain assaulted his consciousness.
(Similar to angry people who spend most of their energy shouting/fighting for several hours, causing them to become inexplicably calm/clear after being tired.)
"I killed someone... again?"
Leo thought, feeling calm and tired as he stared at his shadow body with mixed emotions, understanding what it meant to learn the "Rule of the Fear of Unknown" after choosing the Demon evolution.
Feeling resentful as the system didn\'t clarify things to him before he evolved...
[ Rule of the Fear Unknown (10%): The knowledge of fear toward the unknown, making a being perfectly integrated with horror beyond grasp.
Effects: Resistance toward fear, paralysis, horror, and negative mental attacks increases by 5%. Permanently increase mental energy by 25!
Note: One of the highest rules within the Dao of Horror and Despair! ]
...
Sigh.
"I need to deal with the corpses first before I plan how to gain my physical body back..."
Leo thought as he stared at the skin/corpse of the man in the distance strangely before gazing toward the utterly destroyed doll (beyond saving) in the surroundings angrily, not expecting that his hard work creation in the past week would be gone just like that.
Fortunately, since he already created them, the number within his class job parameter wouldn\'t decrease at all, causing him to heave a sigh of relief.
"Still, how dare you to destroy my lively creation!"
***
Dragging the skin toward the unknown, a strange idea suddenly pops up within his shadow head, making him feel strange, fearful, and excited due to the prospect of it.
"System, is there something wrong with the evolution? Why do I suddenly feel corrupted... My mind seems tempting me to do something unimaginable and malicious toward living beings around me..."
Leo couldn\'t help but ask, feeling a deep sense of chills within as he could feel that something dangerous was blooming within his consciousness... Tempting him to commit genocide.
[ It\'s the process of the sudden change in mentality...
Having great strength that is beyond one\'s imagination/grasp is both a blessing and a sin. Without a strong mentality, you would slowly lose yourself as you would slowly do the desires buried within your being. ]
"This, are you telling me that my desire is actually to slaughter beings!? And that the sudden increase in strength causes those buried desires to resurface!?
"System are you crazy!?"
[ No, that\'s why I am telling you that having a strong mentality is a must for a cultivator! ]
...
Hearing this, Leo heaves a heavy sigh of exhaustion, feeling that this particular day is extremely memorable.
"I killed two human beings, I evolved and became a demon entity, the existence of the devils, the system said that I like to kill beings... Sigh, this day is really memorable, to the point it almost replaces the memory of my birthday..."
Leo thought as he unhurriedly dragged the skin of the human toward the carved table in the center of the cemetery, wanting to make it into a puppet.
"It\'s best if it could talk like a normal being so I would not need to go to the town just to check my mental health..."
"I mean, I think there\'s something wrong with my mind/mentality earlier since I still haven\'t talked/conversed with normal human beings after weeks of arriving here...
"As for those beings that I met in the past within the cemetery... Most of them wanted to kill me while others instantly avoided the place upon seeing that it was a cemetery..."
Sigh, never mind, I will create a human puppet first...
...
Stretching his shadow body, Leo began taking out items within his inventory, placing them toward the sculpted table in front as he examined them one by one.
Checking their compatibility with the human skin within his grasp as he began planning how and what kind of materials he needed to include in creating it.
As he was about to start creating the puppet, Leo suddenly halted, forgetting something as he quickly checked his character panel.
Almost forgetting the fact that he already lost his physical body.
My physical strength probably decreases drastically...
