Shadow Slave

Sunny read the runes with curiosity:

Memory: [Shadow Lantern].

Memory Rank: Divine.

…He fell from the bed.

'What?!'

Another… another Divine Memory?

Feeling cold sweat rolling down his face, Sunny wiped it off with a trembling hand and slowly clenched his fists.

'Should... should be interesting…'

He looked back to the runes, trying to calm his wildly beating hearts.

Just what kind of a Relic had he received?

Memory Tier: I.

Memory Type: Tool.

Soon, there was nothing left around them but darkness. And from that darkness, a hiss came, making Life tremble:

one day be mine, be welcomed by me, swallowed by me, and find peace within me. This is the
