Shadow Slave
Chapter 24
Everything having to do with Sleepers was situated in the same building. Sunny followed the instructions sent to his communicator and quickly found the dormitories, which were situated on one of the lowest levels. To his surprise, he actually got a whole room to himself.
It had a bed with a soft mattress, a table, a dresser, and even a separate bathroom! The materials were new and aesthetically pleasing, the air crisp and sterile. It was warm inside, and the outer wall was equipped with a hidden screen that seamlessly imitated a wide window, opening to a picturesque vista of a snowy park.
There were even several sets of clothes with the Academy emblem provided to him for free.
'How extravagant,' Sunny thought, a little stunned.
Rationally, he understood that such an arrangement was not really luxurious. However, to him, who grew up wandering the outskirts, this room was like a palace. He scratched his head.
'Looks like… I've made it?'
Sunny glanced around, then winked at his shadow and smiled.
"I guess we're moving up in the world, huh?"
The shadow didn't respond, apparently not very impressed. Perhaps it didn't care about such things.
'Right, what would a stupid shadow know?'
Sunny changed into new clothes and studied himself in the mirror. Then, remembering something, he summoned the runes.
He finally had time to study the Puppeteer's Shroud.
Memory: [Puppeteer's Shroud].
Memory Rank: Awakened.
Memory Type: Armor.
Memory Description: [A worm of doubt once found its way into a righteous king's heart. With time, the king was devoured from inside and became its puppet. A lifetime later, the Puppeteer Worm escaped from the king's dead body, leaving behind a cacoon of black silk. No one knows where it went; however, once people dared to approach the silent castle, they found the silk among the mountains of gnawed bones and fashioned it into an armor.]
