DARKNESS CULTIVATION ART

In a dark space, a kid wearing a black dress who looked to around 10 years old is floating in the air. That is Robin. He has been floating for a long time in this empty dark space like that. No one knows how long the time has passed in this space. He was like a statue in this dark space, except he breathes.

But then there were dark particles surrounding him. Swirling around him. His eyes that were closed for a long time, had movements. His eyelashes trembled.

Robin tried harder to open his eyes. He couldn't open his eyes. He wants to move his hands to open his eyes. Yet, he couldn't lift a finger. He panicked. He still didn't know where he was, he can't move a single muscle of his body. He felt like he couldn't breathe.

Anxiety took over him.

It felt like he was dead. He could even breathe. His heart beats faster, it felt like it was gonna blast anytime. He reached the abyss.

And when he was gonna pass out, he saw a girl dressed completely in black, standing on a rooftop of a building turning away from him. When he saw her hair dancing in the wind, Robin felt like his heart clenching.

'Will you keep your promise?'

When he heard those words, Robin opened his eyes. All he could see was never-ending darkness. He tried to move his body, but there was no sensation from his body, he groaned. He couldn't even lift a finger. But opening his eyes, let him breathe out the emptiness that took over him, his tension reduced. He relaxed as his heartbeat returned to normal.

'Who was she, why does seeing her makes me feel happy.'

'But, one thing is clear, she has a beautiful back view. Oh, no. I'm becoming a complete pervert.'

While having the lewd thought, Robin realized something,

'Anyways, where am I now?'

That was the million-dollar question, he didn't get an answer.

So he tried to search through his memories, for why he was in this state.

The last thing he remembered was sitting in the library and trying to sense his Limitless artifact given by the Angel.

'It's all because of that damn Angel, and it's broken Artifact.'

But then, his head was assaulted with severe pain, like someone was splitting his head in half. He couldn't even move his hands to hold his head. He just squirmed there lying in the dark space, while closing his eyes, thinking that the pain would go away. There was a large amount of information loading into his mind. But due to pain, he can't understand a thing. All he felt was a pain. Tears rolled down his eyes.

Every second felt like an eternity for Robin. He can't even shout out loud. He can't even open his mouth, if he could, he would have bit his tongue and died to be free from this pain. Then after about an hour, the pain started to subside. When all the pain left him, he could move his body.

Robin held his head with his hands and gasped while holding it and took several deep breaths.

"Damn. That was horrible. What curse did the Angel guy put on me? Holy shit... Angel is not a good guy. It will definitely get even with him."

Then Robin spent time venting his anger by scolding the Angel. After his anger has subsided an hour later, he surveyed his surroundings.

Where is this place, thinking that he tried to get up and sit. The next second his surroundings changed. He now sat on a dark floor. But still, his surroundings are dark, even the dress he is now wearing is black.

There are dark particles surrounding him. They move in and out of his body. He tried to catch those particles in his hands. But when he opened his palm, the particles disappeared.

'Did I absorb them'

At that moment, Robin came to a sudden realization,

'Wait, since everything around me is darkness. How am I able to see these things'

'I have to relax. Then only can I fathom the solution for the state I'm in.'

Thinking that he closed his eyes, he saw a black light float with his black card, inside his soul palace. When he tried to see what it is, the light blinked. Then the information that got stored in his mind appeared. For about two hours, Robin didn't open his eyes.

After opening his eyes Robin smiled and said,

"No one can stop my rise as a top Assassin"

Hahaha...

Robin laughed maniacally for about five minutes.

'Faceless cultivation art was never a disguise art. It was a part of Assassin art. It was not a Mystic level Arts, but a Holy emperor level arts. its name is Darkness Cultivation Arts. It was an art invented by a Holy Emperor level powerhouse. It doesn't say how powerful a Holy Emperor is, but he is powerful than a Mystic Realm. That Holy Emperor made that cultivation art combining with a killing weapon and a fist technique. Then they have been separated due to some unexplained reasons. The weapon is a Limitless artifact. Now I have both weapon and cultivation arts. As for the fist technique, it's not on this plane. It's said to be in the upper plane.'

Robin smirked and said,

'Planets that are fighting in the battle royale are considered to be Lower planes. While the millions of upgraded planet like Celtic are called the Middle plane. Next up is the Upper plane. If a Middle plane person wants to ascend to the Upper plane, they have to cross the Mystic Realm threshold and reach a higher Realm than Mystic Realm.'

'And to reach a higher realm is difficult and needs chance and luck. If you can't reach that realm, even after 3000 years. You just have to die. No other go. '

'In the books, they lied that Mystic didn't leave to the upper plane because of unfinished business, what bullshit unfinished business '

Hehe...

'Now my cultivation art is at Saint-level, with this I can reach a higher level than Mystic Realm. Then I can go and get that fist technique in the Upper Realm too... A fist technique that is solely used for killing is not something, I can miss out on. And there is another benefit. I want to try If after I combined the Saint-level Cultivation Art, whether the Black Card upgrades to Golden Card, increasing my talent further.'

'I get the opportunity to use the special function of the Faceless cultivation arts. That is I can get the battle and life experience of the predecessors who cultivated this art. I just gain the experience, but I have to practice the art myself and master it.'

' Magic palace is in the people's mind that is a galaxy on its own. This mind palace opens once you reach the Beginner's level. As for the place where the black light and black card are located, is Soul Palace'

Every cultivation arts works on the basic function of helping the cultivator absorb the magic in the air to their magic palace located in their inner mind. And to purify the magic for their use to level up their Awakened Soul. Magic is divided into fire, water, wind, land, metal, lighting, and light, dark. And still some unknown magic.

Darkness Cultivation Art help in creating a Dark soul. It absorbs the dark magic around you and stores them in your magic palace. And your magic palace will purify the dark magic to pure dark magic without contamination for cultivating your Dark Soul faster.

The black particles that are surrounding him, are the dark magic.

Darkness Cultivation Art is a multitasking Cultivation art, it will always absorb the mana around its cultivator even when the cultivator is doing other works.

'It's like a background application. That runs even when you don't use it'

Robin gave a deep sigh,

Because, according to his new information he got from the black light in his soul palace, it would take at least fifty years to digest all the experience of the predecessors.

'If I want Dark soul power, I have to spend fifty years. But with the additional soul power, I can get anything I want. But what if I became fifty years old man.'

And finally, after an hour of self-talk, Robin decided to spend his fifty years of life, in this space.

Then he sat down and closed his eyes and started to cultivate the Faceless cultivation art as per the method it is shown in the black light.

So after doing the first step, Robin willed to absorb all the predecessor's experience to the glowing black light in his soul palace.

Then his fifty years of a closed door, sorry, closed space cultivation starts.

'Let's meet after fifty years'
