Monarch of Darkness

Evan started his practice on myriad arts of transformation. The myriad arts of transformation was vast and Evan tried to recall everything he had memorized about it in his past life.

There was a basic difference existed between an art and a technique. No matter how profound a technique was, it could be completely mastered. There was a limit to its concepts. Compared to technique, an art was very vast and wide. There was no limit to the concepts of an art. It was like a sea of knowledge and how much one could explore depend upon the ability of the said person.

Evan had an eidetic memory. So, he faced no problem in recalling everything he had read about Myriad arts of transformation. It was a secret art of devils and even many powerful devils found it very hard to comprehend.

Myriad arts of transformation based upon soul aura. Every living person had a soul even some magical artifacts had soul. As long as a creature had a soul, he had a specific soul aura. In myriad arts of transformation, there were some methods with which devils could supress and hid their soul aura. 

Hiding the soul aura was only the basic part of Myriad arts of transformation. Then there were methods with which one could imitate other living creatures soul aura. Then after imitating the soul aura, one could transform the physical appearances.

Myriad arts of transformation was extremely magical. With it, a devil could transform himself into different creatures and could evade the enemies whenever necessary. It was one of the best life saving techniques of devils. But essence of myriad arts of transformation was extremely hard to grasp. Only with a powerful soul one could cultivate Myriad arts of transformation. Perfect control over soul was necessary for practicing this art.

Evan could grasp any technique which was related to soul ability. His royal devil soul was very powerful and Evan was already familiar with his powerful soul. He closed his eyes and his conciousness merged with his soul. He had already acheived the one with soul level. So, this time he instantly felt his soul which was a fist sized glowing mass. Only after merging his conciousness with his soul, Evan could feel how powerful and vast his soul was.

He followed the technique mentioned in the Myriad arts of transformation and spread his conciousness towards outside. He observed a grade one student who was practicing a whip technique inside his room.

Evan tried to imitate his soul aura. He followed the technique mentioned in Myriad arts of transformation. After some time, he managed to imitate the soul aura of that grade one student.

He retrieved his conciousness and focused his mind on his soul. Next step was very crucial for acheiving some success in Myriad arts of transformation. In the next step Evan had to change the shape of his soul based on the imitated soul aura. As long as he could manage to match his soul with the imitated soul aura, shape of his physical body would change into the shape of that grade one student.contemporary romance

He tried hard to change the shape of his soul. It was an extremely hard step. Evan had some experience regarding changing the soul size. He had previously practiced to create the soul spears. With that previous experience as reference, Evan tried to chane his soul shape.

Soul was completely linked with the physical body. When soul chaged, physical body also bound to be change. Evan tried hard but he could only change his soul slightly. It returned to normal shape within a moment. Evan didn't give up. He continued his attempts.

First attempt- failure

Second attempt-failute

Third attempt-failure

Evan didn't feel discouraged. He attempted again but boundless exhaustion engulfed him. Only now, Evan knew he had completely depleted his soul energy. He dragged his body to the bed and slept soundly.

After a dreamless sleep, Evan woke up. He was not feeling exhausted after taking a good rest. But he found out that he was almost starving. He looked at the dark sky outside and knew it was already night time. He opened his door and went outside. His destination was canteen area of grade one students.

Evan reached the canteen area after few minutes. He found many grade one students along the path but none of them were familiar to him. He received his portion of food and wolfed it down. Even after finishing his food, he felt his stomach was still not filled. So, he went to next counter where one could buy food. He paid a gold coin and ordered some magical beasts meat. After eating the meat of magical beasts did he feel satisfied and left the area.

Evan continued his practice in the night. He made some progress but it was not substantial. After some attempts, he became exhausted again and went to sleep.

Evan woke up in the next day morning. He was just preparing to get out when Chester came knocking his door. Evan went out with him to canteen area.

Today he met again with Freddie whom he met with in his first day here. Evan talked with him happily but he found out Freddie having some reservation while talking with him. He thought about it and found out the reason. It was because Freddie had found out his identity as a prince. Evan encouraged Freddie to talk more freely with him and Freddie opened up after some time. After finishing their respective meal, everyone left toward their own classroom.

Evan walked toward the central building with Chester. They proceeded toward the classroom while gossiping on their way. There was a narrow path just before the central building. Evan was just talking with Chester when he felt he bumped with someone. He looked toward his front and stunned after seeing the person in front of him. He saw a tall and slender girl.

She had curved eye brows and clear big eyes. Her face was exquisite and she had a slender snow white neck. Currently she was holding her delicate small nose which was visibly reddened after colliding with him.

Evan felt sorry for her and was just thinking how to console her. Suddenly, he felt danger coming from behind the girls. It was too sudden and Evan didn't manage to think straightly. He subconsciously activated slaughter ghost steps and managed to move slightly to the side. Despite it, he got hit and he vomited blood in mouthful. Before his conciousness fade, he managed to see the face of the attacker.
