Omega Summoner

Chapter 956: Prelude to Apocalypse

The Guild Death Note is actually founded by the Dark Assassin player named Nightshade. He is an up-and-coming newbie that became well known after the Pandelympics. What is even interesting that not everyone knows is that he is also from another race in-game called the Taqriaqsuit.

The Taqriaqsuit are a being native to the Shadow World and are actually repulsed by the undead. They are a race that could also be called the Shadow People. They are a race that perfectly hides in the shadows due to it being their natural habitat and is actually the favorite creation of the God of the Moon, Igaluk.

The Taqriaqsuit are said to have been created using the shadow of the moon that Igaluk casts. Since the Taqriaqsuit are also a race that likes to live in peace, they turned to the Shadow World which is in the same plane of existence of the mortal realm but just slightly lower in frequency. It does not mean that they are weak because they are great in espionage and assassinations.

Due to Igaluk being weakened and sealed when the War of the Gods happened, the Taqriaqsuit are also weakened as a result. They were sealed by an enemy in their own territory in the Shadow World. This would not have been a problem if they were only a being of pure darkness.

The Taqriaqsuit are made by the God of the Moon which means they also have two sides just like the moon. Just as they are created from the dark side of the moon that Igalik casts, they also need the gentle light every once in a while, to maintain their sanity.

The Taqriaqsuit would have lost their sanity if not for them entering a deep sleep and hoping for a soul that has the same qualities as them to set them free eventually. The Taqriaqsuit offered this seal to the God of Death as their Gods that represented the moon or darkness are often associated with him.

The Taqriaqsuit vowed to swore vengeance upon the followers of the dark gods once they are awakened from the Shadow World by their own fated one. Nightshade managed to find the seal of the Taqriaqsuit in the Village of Genesis but was only able to activate it upon his death in a dark place.

Upon his death, the seal activated and sent him towards the Shadow World as intended. There he already met some of the Taqriaqsuit that partially woke up due to the disturbances in the mortal plane. The Taqriaqsuit often told that some unique people would reach the Shadow World. A demon and a large wolf that held the power of darkness in its soul.

The partially awakened Taqriaqsuit greeted the newly arrived Nightshade and baptized his soul as one of their own turning him into one of them. The Taqriaqsuit take the form of shadows itself when they use their powers, but they look different when bathe in pure light.

Their form when bathe in pure light is a humanoid shape with silk white skin and red eyes. They have no other features except for their red eyes as they do not need to eat since their sustenance is moonlight or darkness itself.

Nightshade enjoyed his new race as he became an effective assassin in just a matter of weeks. He even became infamous in the rankings despite not being in the top 100 when it comes in level. He also founded a guild using the money from his rich parents. He is also a potential candidate for the US national team for the Pandelympics.

Despite his rising guild and the popularity, he admits that he is not the greatest assassin out there. He does not own a weapon powerful enough to withstand his abilities. He also could not complete the mission to unseal the Taqriaqsuit as he is not powerful enough.

The quest is also limited to a party of five people which is why he cannot conquer it despite his resources. It takes more than just money to unlock the racial unlocking quests as seen by the videos uploaded by Hou Yiwei when he posted them.

He looked at the famous players and noticed that they had unique weapons tailored to their fighting style. He also wanted to be an owner of a weapon that perfectly suits him preferably something that can also let him manipulate the shadows efficiently.

Just as he was losing patience and hope, someone suddenly clued him in of a weapon that might suit his fighting style. He even paid a hefty fine for the information even if it is not true, but he learned of a weapon sealed in the northern continent that is perfect for an assassin as one swipe could bring death.

He is also informed that this weapon can also unlock a special job class for an assassin called Slayer. He wanted this even more and journeyed with his guild towards the northern continent. They reached the destination but their party of a hundred members shrunk down to about twenty.

They are not that prepared when it came to traversing the northern continent as they did not want to get attention when they were not ready. In fact, they only started streaming when they were already halfway in their journey to make sure that other players will not reach them in time.

”We have reached the destination, but it is surrounded but hundreds of hail tornadoes. We already passed through a blizzard that lasted for sixteen hours a day. The Snow Owl beastkin may have been correct that this land has been cursed.” Nightshade grumbled as he is so close yet so far from his objective.

”It seems that you are troubled like what I told you.” A voice coming from above suddenly stated as she landed gracefully next to Nightshade with her proud wings of white and black feathers.

”Chief Artica, it is just like you said. The place onwards is blocked by furies of winds. The sorceress that cursed this land and trapped your people there will definitely pay once we dispel this.” Nightshade stated.

”Yes. I thank you once again, adventurer.” Chief Artica stated but there is an underlying tone hidden in her voice.
