Hero of Darkness

Kahn who was now alive again.. Or more likely didn't actually die stood in complete confusion.

"Uhm.. What?!" asked Kahn.

[The host unlocked the title of 'Hero of Darkness' as per the secret conditions set by God of Darkness.] replied the system.

"You already told me that. What were the secret conditions?" he asked.

[In case the chosen hero of any of the Gods is put in a near-death state by the enemy attacks of the same element their respective gods represent as part of the reality, the chosen hero will be granted the title as 'Hero of' that particular element. It is a form of a trial set by the Gods that is unknown to the chosen Heroes and can not be intentionally achieved. Neither can the chosen hero divulge this information to any other being than themselves.] explained the system about this hidden class special quest.

"I see. But then what's the use of this title? Does it gives me any extra boost?" asked Kahn as he found himself extremely lucky to be skewered by the blade that was made of dark magic. Otherwise, he'd be truly dead now.

[The host has acquired the title of Hero of Darkness.

Hero of Darkness : This title is a testament to the host being acknowledged and qualifying to become the true representative of God of Darkness.

Following are the exclusive powers granted by this title :

1. Monarch of Darkness :

The host now possesses the ultimate affinity & control over anything that is made of Dark magic & Darkness elements in the world.

The host will no longer be affected or can be killed from the dark magic or darkness element spells & skills. Whenever attacked with such skills and spells, the host's body will automatically absorb them or will remain harm-free.

2. Dark Engulfment :

The host can absorb and store dark magic skills & spells from other beings, whether they're alive or dead.

The capacity will rise with the Rank upgrades in host's body.

(Current Progress : Legendary Rank.

The host can use all skills & spells made from Dark Magic & Darkness Elements after learning them. The host can also infuse them with other types of physical and magical skills & spells.

The output of these skills & spells will be amplified by 3 times the original strength. )

3. Ruler of the Night :

The host will also receive an extra 200% buff/increase in both physical strength & mana capacity during nighttime.

There will also be a 100% increase in host's physical attacks & magic spells damage output during this period. The same applies to host's sensing abilities & skills.

This title will be in effect as long as the host is alive.]

Kahn sat on the ground and his hands clutched his head. The information he just received was just too much to swallow.

"Impossible! This is too much!!" shouted Kahn in disbelief as he pulled his hair and slapped himself to check whether he was dreaming or not.

This title just made him powerful beyond he ever imagined. This was basically saying that if he ever reached the rank of a Demigod, his authority over dark magic and darkness element would be second only to God of Darkness.

He could not only use the dark magic & darkness elemental attack & spells, but had the highest affinity & control over them.

This meant that any being in this world who was born out of the darkness element or magic would basically be Kahn's servents and also his prey if he wanted to kill and absorb their magic & skills.

Not only he won't be killed by these creatures, but he could also completely make them powerless by robbing their ability to control and attack with dark magic spells and physical skills.

As long as this element of reality was concerned, there was nobody who could rival him. Let it be an undead just like the Lich who killed him a few minutes ago or any other creature or a being born of this element would be his match.

Plus the 2 times additional buff in physical strength, mana capacity, attack skills and magic spells during the night made him 3 times stronger than his original capabilities compared to daytime.

His mind barely functioned at this moment as he was put under a daze because of the surprise. He didn't know what to do. Shout or scream in happiness or be shocked and bewildered instead.

He looked at the skeleton of the undead Lich that was lying beside him.

"Hey, can you wake up and kill me few more times? At this rate, I'll be able to kill that Demon God by next week." spoke Kahn in disbelief.

For the next 10 minutes, Kahn was exhilarated and couldn't think straight. Even with his resolute and calm temperament, he could hardly believe and process his gains.

"I guess that's a fair compensation for dying." spoke Kahn and looked at the body of the undead Lich. He didn't know what to do.. Be enraged or thank this guy for killing him.

Nevertheless, it was already dead. The 5 spell books that once floated in the air were lying on the ground behind the body. And an idea suddenly clicked in his mind.

"System, I can absorb the dark magic spells & abilities from other beings even if they're dead, right?" asked Kahn.

[Yes.] replied the system.

"Good." said Kahn and put his hand on the skull of this Lich. But after a minute, he noticed that he wasn't absorbing anything at all.

"What's this? Why can't I absorb anything from it?" asked Kahn in confusion.

[The host has already acquired skills & abilities along with the dark magic of this subject.] explained the system.

"Huh? When?" he asked.

[During the Awakening process, the host was in a frenzied state and absorbed everything from this subject.

The host has acquired the following abilities & skills :

Darkness Barrier (ACTIVE) :

Allows the host to cast a defensive barrier around 10 meter radius made of darkness element which has durability 3 times the host's physical defense.

Note : This skill is only weak against Holy magic.

Shadow Blades (ACTIVE) :

Allows the host to attacks with long-range dark elemental blades made of destructive mana.

Current Range : 50 meters.

Void Realm :

Allows the host to temporarily cast the Void Space spell for a short time. Anyone other than the host & the subordinates will lose their ability to move under this spell.

Note : Current activation time is 5 seconds. The host is advised to practice and perfect this spell by himself.

Dead Summoning (PASSIVE) :

The host can create undead creatures that function because of dark magic in 100 meter radius.]

"You know what.. I give up." said Kahn and threw his hands in the air as the system told him the new skills he gained. These skills just outmatched many of his previously gained skills.

Now he had only two things left to do.

So he paid attention towards the 1st thing.

Use Synthesis to merge skills.

But just as soon as the system showed him the list of merged skills.. Kahn's jaw dropped on the ground in shock!

"Holy fuck dude.. Did I just become too OP?"
