2.25% The Eminence of a True Monarch of the Shadows / Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Chapter 5

~Cid's Pov~

Seeing everything was alright after I started fake crying, I decided to sleep to not have to deal with everyone fawning over me which is super annoying when you're a baby.

I then woke up the next day the first thought that occurred to me was incomprehensible noise.  'AURUFJKSK, I'M THE FREAKING SHADOW MONARCH BITCHES'. And once again the only sound that came out of me were happy baby giggles.

For some reason I'm strangely energized, more than I would have been. Since I already experienced what it was like being a baby I know that I'm not supposed to feel this much energy and I can already guess what is the cause. Though I still wanted to get a good look inside myself to see what its like

Then something weird happened, I was able to get a really good look at what my insides looks like, before when I would try this I would just get a vague feeling of what it looks like, now that I get a full picture I can't help but wonder if it's because of all the magic power I currently possess that it was easier and I was able to get a clearer view.

When I looked inside myself I saw something that made me giddy all over again, I have a black heart and I'm not talking about the 'I'm evil' kind, my heart is quite literally black with a bit of purple light around it. Its one thing knowing you have something and it's another thing seeing it with your actual eyes...

Well I didn't see it with my eyes I saw it with my sense but it still counts.

And that's not the only thing i have, I can feel it, hundreds upon hundreds of beings connected to myself. Due to the excitement my baby self just couldn't stop laughing, so much so that my baby face at this point is getting red.

The door to the room then opens and my new mother comes over the crib I was staying at and picks me up and as she's holding me she says with a smile "Well aren't you a happy little fella".

She then tickles my stomach slightly which causes me to start giggling even more due to how sensitive I am at the moment. After that little moment she sits down near by and lowers her blouse and presents her chest to me

'Come to papa' I thought to myself with both tiny arms stretched out.

*suck* *suck* *suck* *suck* *suck*

When I was sucking away I started to feel multiple stares under me. Knowing what it was I started to get embarrassed. 'They just saw their Monarch doing something so embarrassing, ughhh I'm gonna die from embarrassment

And I can't push it down cause I'm still not in full control of my body'

I then just closed my eyes and pretended that those stares weren't there and continued sucking away.

When I finished my new mother just put me down on my crib and left the room. Seeing nothing better to do I just start practicing my new moves which I feel are apart of me now. When I try to use them I mostly used instinct and it comes all natural to me.

The first thing I did was try out Ruler's Authority with the toy's in the crib and when trying it out the toys started to give out a purple outline and started floating slightly, it was unexpectedly easy due to my instincts guiding me on how to do it, and while letting it float about I was perfecting my mana control which will be quite useful.

And so a week passes and I just keep trying to perfect my control over my magic power through my mana circuits which I was able to locate. In order to enhance themselves people would let their magic power flow from their circuits and into the specific body part they wanted to enhance.

That was something I found out after re-checking my body over and over again.

Seeing that a week has passed I thought that it was finally time for me to meet the beings connected to me, and so I waited until everyone was asleep in the night and through the connection I contacted my favorite shadow soldier Jinwoo had...

"Come forth, Beru"

And with that the shadows near the crib started to extend slightly outward and out from under it came a giant bipedal ant

And as the ant who is name Beru came out he suddenly and unexpectedly dropped on all four and started to bawl his eyes out crying

"WAAAAAAHHH MY LIEGE, YOU CALLED ME FIRST, YOU WANTED TO SEE ME FIRST, AND FOR THAT I COULDN'T BE MORE THANKFUL WAAAAHHHH"

I sighed through the connection "Beru, you have to lower your voice or someone going to come and see you and I'd have to return you from where you came from and call out someone quieter"

Hearing this Beru just got quieter and lowered his head but continue to cry tears of joy silently

And through the connection I said "Pick me up". Surprisingly he was very gentle while picking me up which was weird. And as he picked me up he was still crying, if he could cry any harder I think he would.

"Take me to the forest near by" I said through while using the stealth skill I got from jinwoo, which completely eliminated my physical and magical presence. While still holding me Beru escapes from the mansion and takes me into the middle of the forest.

Once there I started to surround my self with Ruler's Authority and start hovering slightly, and while hovering I summoned all my shadow soldier's.

My shadow underneath then extended almost covering the whole forest, thankfully it was night time and no one was around or they would have been very frightened by such display of power.

And once extended, beings started coming out of my shadow like beings from hell. They all then prostrated themselves to me while swearing their allegiance and as they did they then spoke at the same time saying

"WE WELCOME BACK OUR LIEGE AND MASTER BACK TO THE LAND OF THE LIVING MAY HIS REIGN HOLD STRONG"

Seeing this just brought a smile on my tiny baby face and through the link I replied "Thank you, for your encouragement"

I then continued floating while looking at all of the soldiers kneeling down to me.

'Oh this is so going to get in my head and make me become arrogant and I'm all for it, these mongrel's won't know what hit them' I thought while bringing my inner Gilgamesh out at the end.


Chapter 6: Chapter 6

~Cid's Pov~

Three years soon passed...

Thanks to the black heart I currently possess my body kept getting nourished by the Mana of it, making my looks all the better. It was Making my skin and hair glossier and smoother, even tho I was 3 years old you can just tell I'm going to become better looking than Cid was originally going to be.

For most of my time for the last three years I just kept magically enhancing my body making it permanently stronger and much more durable which made me able to start exercising much earlier than any toddler ever should. I guess that's the beauty of Magic, it makes the impossibility a reality.

I've been thinking alot about what to do next with magic thinking alot about different animes and Mangas from my other past life's and the more I thought about it the more idea's kept coming to mind

For example since this is technically an anime and manga world who says specific types of techniques from different animes, manga, and novels won't work in this world

Right now in the middle of the night I'm in a open field about to test out if anime moves work in this world, for starters the most simple one's to test out would be the six powers of the marines also know as the 'Rokushiki Techniques' from One Piece

The first move I tried was what I believe to be the easiest to execute 'Soru' or also known as 'Shave', since I'm in a open field I don't have to worry about running into a wall if I mess it up

The premise of Soru is to kick off the ground at least ten times in the blink of an eye which would allow the users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power.

Since I was just 3 years old my speed wasn't up to standard when trying to perform such move so I had to magically enhance myself to actually be able to do it

Although it was difficult I now knew that I could do it, which makes the possibility for more power endless but I'm not going for alot of different powers, too many power at some point would just become redundant

After all like Bruce Lee once said "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times"

And so that's what I'll do.

Seeing that anime martial arts were possible i decided to try on a technique from the magical side of entertainment.

I sat down in the grass in the open field with my legs crossed and started to concentrate on the magic power around and inside of me. I then drew in all of the magic power towards the center of my abdomen and started to shape it into a sphere.

Once the sphere was made, it felt like it still didn't belong to me just yet, like it's inside of me but I can't have access to it. By now it was just a pure clear sphere made out of magic.

I then tried to recall the things I knew about the Mana core from the novel 'The Beginning After the End'. Even tho I stopped reading it around the 400th chapter due to the many annoying Pov switches it was still a good read.

'A Mana Core is classified into six colors: black, red, orange, yellow, silver, and white. One's mana color starts off as black, due to the body's blood and other impurities mixed with the mana particles as they form together into a mana core. Each stage of the mana core colors is split into three shades(dark, solid, and light).

except silver which is split into initial, mid and high and white core which does not have stages. In general, the lighter the mana core color, the purer one's mana core was. Therefore, there was more power one could have access to.' (A/N: straight from the wiki page)

'So I was missing my blood to make it officially mine' I thought to myself

Sighing I just put my hands inside my shadow and pull out a blob of slime and as I was holding it in my hand I started to pour magic power into it and changed the shape from a blob into a sword. With the sword now in my hand I made it sharp and positioned it to my other hand and made a cut in the middle.

Since I knew slime was going to be an important material I had my shadow soldier's gather them up, but instead of killing them right away I put them in the sub dimension of my shadow and turned a part of it into a breeding ground for slimes.

Once the cut was made I returned the slime sword back into my shadow, I then lifted my shirt and put the palm with my blood at the very center of my abdomen and used magic power to push the blood inside and into the crystal clear orb.

Once my blood and the crystal orb made contact a type of mana explosion happened creating a crater with me in the center due to the formation of my mana core.

When I checked the core again, I noticed that instead of it being clear it was now a dark red color. Seeing this just put a smile on my face, it looks like its going to be much easier to manipulate mana once it leaves my body and core.

Wanting to test out my mana core I then stood up from the crater and stretched my hands slightly i then use the magic in my magic core and started using the red mana particles inside of it and as I used it I started to shape it into a fireball.

The fire being used then turned purple which made the fireball purple as well and once it was made I launched it into the sky it flew for a few meters before dissipating into the air and turning back into magic power.

I see, so once the magic power from the outside goes inside the core it turns into elemental mana particles and once it's used it reverts back to magic power, quite interesting. And since my magic power is a purple color the elements turns into that specific color as well.

I then tried to summoned the other 3 elements to see if I would have some type of limitations and upon calling the wind, ground, and water, I discovered that they were mostly the color black with a slight purple accent but apart from that nothing seems to be amiss.

I would have to continue to purify my core to see if I discover anything new. So for now the only thing I could do is practice the Rokushiki Techniques and purify my mana core.

.....

A/n: I'm having a hard time deciding should Claire join shadow garden after she gets kidnapped or just continue keeping her in the dark for now.
