~STRING to SHADOW~•Solo Leveling•

~Chapter~6

Jin stared at the little girl in front of him, she wasnt lying, he could tell, but she wasn't saying everything either.

Even if probed she won't say a thing, but where was the fault in trying?

"Tell me everything."

Alora looking at him smiled, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

A ribbon of blood trickled down her nose, she didn't notice as she said.

"You'll understand later."

Jin woo started then quickly snapped out of it.

"You're.. bleeding!"

Only after hearing did she feel the the weird sensation, she took a tissue and wiped off the blood from her nose.

"My condition isn't very well, as you can see."

She said softly, looking at her food, that was bland and without any taste in her tounge.

'Perfect timing.....do I have any more cards to play? Hmm oh right...'

She said slowly, her smile turning confidant the more she spoke.

"I'm sure the monarch would love to have a second piece like him."

The shadow monarch, the strongest fragment, also relatiated against the absolute being of this world, wasn't she doing the same?

But, to the archivist who created the system, it was a invitation, the message was, 'i will better prepare the vessel for you.'

[ New mission
  Extract the shadow of the unique individual upon their death.

Penalty upon refusal:  The player's heart will stop beating in 0.001 second.

|Accept| |Decline| ]

System windows appeared on the air Infront Jin woo. It wasn't just one panel, there were nearly a hundred if not more, blinding his vision.

Jin woo looked at all these system window's read them and sighed, it's not like he had any choice. And even if he did, be would have made Alora into a shadow soldier, it was too good of a opportunity to pass up.

He said, a little exasperated.

"Accept."

All of the previous screens disappeared and a new one appeared.

Seeing him looking in the air, and saying accept, Alora understood the gist of the situation.

The archivist accepted her offer, which she didn't expect he would.

'Too bad, I ain't gonna do shit.'

She placed the chopsticks down, not having an appetite.

Jin woo turned to her, with a faint smile he said.

"I'll accept your offer."

Now that he he agreed, there was no rope to bind her happiness, she beamed brightly.

"I look forward to it!"

'Thank goodness! It worked!'

Her tactic worked, although it did take a little bit of pestering, but hey, it's a matter of life and death.

Now, even if she suddenly dies, she won't be afraid of disappearing.

'Ill get my revenge....you stupid peices of shits!!'

Then she remembered, and asked eagerly.

"May I tag along in your next raid?"

From what she could remember, around this time, the male lead went to many expeditions, she hadn't had the chance to go in a dungeon for a year!

'My hands are itching for some monster bloodshed.'

Jin woo thought it over for a while and agreed without much resistance.

...

"Hyung are you sure about this?"

Yoo jihoo looked at the little girl, a sick little girl, standing Infront of him with full of suspicion.

He was wearing arm and head gold plated armour, and had a huge bag on his back.

This was Jin woo's current not so close friend, then will be best friend, then sworn brother, then and at last Brother in law.

'Major character'

Alora said to herself looking him up and down in a way she thought was discreet, but her height gave her away.

Jin woo shrugged with his shoulders in response.

Jihoo was in disbelief, he wanted to raid 19 dungeons in order to become a guild master, but he wasn't that deaprete!

"What do mean this she'll also come?!"

"She's a hunter."

Jin woo simply explained, already walking inside the C rank blue gate.

Alora followed in his toes in quickly, using mana to use her limbs as a normal human would.

Still very much not believing in what was going on, jihoo ran to not be left behind.

"Hey wai-"

His back also disappeared into the dungeon.

The other party members, who were used to sitting around while jihoo and Jin woo raided dungeons looked bafflelingly at their back.

It was the last day, so they were specially at ease, but what's this? They won't take them, but would take a little girl instead?!

...

Yoo jihoo quickly caught up to the two walking front.

Now that he wasn't soo baffled anymore, he finally noticed the faint traces of mana she was exuding.

It was controlled so well, he a D rank didn't even notice!

"So...umm what rank are you?"

He asked Alora, not knowing how to put his words to not scare the little girl.

"S rank"

Alora simply answered, looking around the caves interior.

'A cave is a cave alright, meh!'

Jihoo:"???"

Knowing that he probably didn't understanding she reapeted herself.

"I'm an s rank."

Jihoo was struck so stupid he stopped walking all together, he stared at the two walking away leaving him behind.

What was this? One was a E rank but was stronger than any B rank or more and another was a S ranked little kid?

What has the world come to?

Alora turned and gestured for Jihoo to speed up, to which he did but in a comical daze.

'I messed up his system alright.'

Low level stone golems appeard in their sigh, noticing an intruder the humanoid stones rushed to eliminate unwelcome guests.

Alora sat on top of a stone, she couldn't fight while constantly maintaining a stable source of mana to balance her body.

Strings of mana gushed out of her body, wrapping around the golems in a blink on an eye.

The golems violently smashed themselves in the ground with loud cracks of stone being crushed.

"Arise."

From jin woo's shadow, hundreds of large and buff shadow soldiers rushed out, wasting no time on slaying the enemy.

Yoo jihoo was dumbfounded, was he dreaming? What are those strange creatures? And why are golems smashing their own head?!!
