Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Can you tell me more about the Shadow Realm?" Evan asked. Since the moment he reached C rank and awakened his class, he was aware of the Shadow Realm.

But other than the fact that it was somehow connected with his core, he didn't know anything about it. Now that he had a chance, he wanted to know more about it and, if possible, even wanted to go there.

"Shadow Realm..." Anastasia didn't answer him immediately. Instead, she thought for a moment about how to explain everything to him.

After thinking for almost a full minute, she finally spoke. "You know about the Monarch Physiques, right?"

Evan was confused as to why she was asking this question and how it was related to the Shadow Realm, but he still nodded his head.

"The Monarch Physique gives its wielder many advantages over other people, like a high amount of mana, abnormal physical and mental strength. They can advance to ranks quickly without worrying about the instability of their core and many other benefits. But the biggest advantage that the wielder of a Monarch Physique receives is when their core reaches C rank," Anastasia said and continued.

"Upon reaching C rank, the Monarch Core creates a realm of its own and starts to produce conceptual energy that the wielder can use freely. This gives Monarch Physique holders a very big advantage because other people can't use conceptual energy before reaching rank one, but because of this physique, they can use it just after reaching C rank."

Anastasia paused after saying this to let Evan understand these things before she spoke again.

"Because their Monarch Core creates a realm of its own that can produce conceptual energy, Monarch Physique holders don't even need to absorb the cores of monsters after reaching C rank. Their rank will continue to increase on its own. Of course, they can increase the speed of their advancement by absorbing cores, but even if they don't, it would only take them less than a year to become a rank one core evolver from C rank because of the conceptual energy produced by the realm created by their core."

"Wait a second..." Evan suddenly stopped Anastasia because he felt he was scammed.

"You said the rank of people with Monarch Physique will continue to increase after reaching C rank even if they don't absorb cores, but I never felt something like this. Even after reaching C rank, I had to absorb cores to increase my rank."

Anastasia wanted to laugh when she saw Evan's face, which was literally screaming that he felt scammed, but she held back and said while shaking her head.

"Your case is different from other Monarchs. The Monarch Core creates a realm of its own inside it, but your core did not create its own realm. Instead, it established a connection with the previous Shadow Realm that you left behind. Because you just have a connection with the Shadow Realm, unlike other Monarch cores that have a whole realm, you had to absorb cores to increase your rank."

A look of understanding flashed on Evan's face when he heard Anastasia, and he motioned for her to continue what she was saying earlier.

"As I was saying, the biggest advantage for Monarch Physique holders is the realm that their core creates. Once these individuals become Rank One Core Evolvers, they just need to increase the rank of their core to advance further. Unlike others who need to create their Domain, Monarch Physique holders don't need to do that, as the realm their core created acts as their Domain and will evolve into a Zone when they break through to the next rank," Anastasia paused and added after a moment.

"Monarch Physique holders don't need to do anything other than increase the rank of their core. As they do so, the realm that their core created will continue to evolve on its own, from Domain to Zone, from Zone to Illusionary World, and so on. Honestly, it's like a cheat that makes you one of the strongest in the shortest amount of time," Anastasia said with a sigh, even she felt the Monarch Physique was ridiculous.

Evan on the other hand, was staring at her blankly, not knowing what to say. Don't need to create their domain, the Domain will evolve into a Zone, and the Zone will evolve into an Illusionary World on its own.

"Are you kidding me?" He finally spoke, his eyes wide open. "That's complete bullshit. What about me? I also have a Monarch Physique, so why do I need to burn my brain to create my domain and do other things? I want VIP treatment too."

"Well..." Anastasia was speechless when she heard Evan because it was the first time she had seen him act like this.

'Oh!... I forgot he is different from before,' She suddenly remembered and shook her head with a smile on her face.

"You would have also received this VIP treatment if your core had created its own realm, but it established a connection with the previous Shadow Realm. So you can only receive general treatment."

Evan's mouth twitched when he heard Anastasia speaking he could only receive general treatment, and he fell silent.

After a while, he asked with a serious look on his face, "Since my core doesn't have this so-called realm, will it affect me somehow in the future?"

"Don't worry, it won't affect you in any manner," Anastasia said while shaking her head. "Since your core has already established a connection with the Shadow Realm, you can integrate it into your core without any problem."

She paused and added after a moment, "But to integrate the Shadow Realm into your core, you will have to increase the rank of your core because the current Shadow Realm is like a whole world in itself that is even better than Utopia. So it is impossible for you to integrate it with your current core."

"A world in itself that is even better than Utopia..." Evan was stunned when he heard Anastasia. "What rank do I need to reach to integrate it with my core?"

"Honestly, I am not sure," Anastasia said with a wary smile on her face. "If it was before, then you could have integrated it with your core after becoming a Rank Three Core Evolver, but a few months ago, the Shadow Realm evolved, so I am not sure what rank you need to reach to integrate it with your core."

Evan was slightly disappointed when he heard Anastasia didn't know what rank he needed to reach, but his disappointment disappeared when he heard her next words.

"Although I don't know what rank you need to reach, you will be able to feel it on your own the moment you reach that level. The connection that you have with the Shadow Realm will immediately tell you about it the moment you are ready for it."
