Shadow Slave

Sunny spent a lot of time considering what was the best use of the contribution points allocated to him by the army, as far as Memories were concerned.

He had no doubt that the cohort was going to encounter hordes of Nightmare Creatures in Antarctica. Hopefully, he and his soldiers would survive… which also meant that they would receive a lot of Memories, and eventually even Echoes, throughout the campaign.

Still, most of those abominations were going to be either Dormant or Awakened. How powerful of a Memory could killing such a creature bring? Additionally, any boon received in battle was bound to be arbitrary. Even if it possessed considerable power, who was to say that this power was going to fit the members of the cohort well?

So, now was his best and only chance to get his hands on potent Memories that perfectly suited his soldiers and himself.

However, nothing was ever simple.

Despite the fact that the government had been extremely generous, outfitting six Awakened, let alone a Master, was not cheap. If Sunny had not spent the lion's share of contribution points on upgrading the Rhino, he might have been able to acquire a good amount of powerful tools. As it stood, he was desperately short on funds.

This was why he had to make several painful decisions. Firstly, he gave up on getting something that he himself could use and chose to concentrate on the needs of his subordinates.

'That really leaves a bad taste in my mouth…'

Sunny let out a mournful sigh. There was just no denying it… his personal arsenal was already a bit too outstanding. He had to console himself by remembering that his six soldiers were, in a sense, an extension of this arsenal. They were meant to become his most powerful weapons.

So, empowering them was the same as empowering himself.
