Chapter 75: Hannah's a Yandere?

"Please tell me your name."

"My name is Ryan... Who are you?" Ryan asked. His gaze slowly turned towards the new figure until he locked on the hooded man's black hair.

His short, black hair framed his round face perfectly, his eyes looking directly into his own while smiling with amusement and interest. He had thin lips and a tall nose within his soft face that looked just like a cherub in an oil painting.

"My name is Shade," answered the man, taking a step toward Ryan without breaking eye contact. "I am the protector of the Xygar."

"I was sent here by The Old Man for a... preliminary test," continued Shade.

Ryan watched as the man removed his cloak.

His skin was covered with intricate tattoos, which matched his dark black hair.

"He told me to test if you were worthy to be given the directions to the ruins, as that is the majority of the test."

"Why would he give me the answer to a majority of the test?" Ryan asked in bewilderment.
