14: Umbrakinetic Manipulation
Inside his small room.
Stephan stood before his bed and raised his hand, with a slight motion from his fingers, a dark figure began to rise out of his "shadow"
The dark figure continued to rise until it stood at the same height as Stephan and then changed itself to look identical to him, all of this happened within a single second.
"My clone?" Stephan smiled with a raised brow, he expected this from the name of the ability, but it was still hard to believe it.
Not only would this Clone have 50% of his combat power, but it would also stay alive in the world until he called it back into the shadows or it was killed.
If Stephan wanted to create more shadows he needed to become stronger in using his Umbrakinetic Manipulation powers, only then could he summon more clones, but... the more clones he had created the less power each of them would have divided individually.
"yo," Stephan looked at his clone which had an expressionless face, and stood there silently.
Seeing his actions, the clone responded to him with its own words.
"hi," it said, it was very fluid and not robotic, even its expressions were changing occasionally.
"hmm, I can do a lot with this" Stephan smirked as he played around with the clone for a while, he came to realize that he shared a mind with his clone, meaning whatever the clone was "seeing" it would be reported back to him if he wanted it to.
"if I tell this clone to act like me around my family for a whole week, how would it play out?" Stephan had a random thought in his mind as he looked at the clone, he wanted to test this out someday.
it would be a good way to leave home and travel outside to do many things.
Poof!
Stephan's shadow Minion turned into a wave of smoke and then into a cloud of bats before falling back into his shadows.
"All are very great abilities, but none of them have any personal combat strength that I can use, maybe I need a get a weapon or something" Stephan sighed in deep thought before looking down at his palms.
swoosh!!
A dark bone-chilling aura flew out of his hands before a murky black energy manifested.
This was Umbrakinetic Manipulation, the ability to manipulate the dark energies around him.
Stephan played around with the strange dark energy for a very long time, he had to admit that he was very interested in it.
Not only could he shape the dark energy into physical forms like weapons, chains, webs, and even wings.
"this is amazing" Stephan couldn't help but exclaim as he moved his hands around the air, a long black scythe was immediately created according to his imagination and appeared in his hands.
swoosh!
A single swing of the scythe caused the air in the room to become chaotic and even Stephan's blanket had been blown off his bed.
knock!
it was at this moment that Stephan heard a knocking on his door.
"fuck, I wasn't paying attention," Stephan thought in his heart, and with but a thought he made the long scythe turn into a form of dark energy before it sank into his body.
"what's up" Stephan replied hastily, he already knew who it was.
"I'm awake, I was just checking if you were home" Jasmine's tired voice could be heard behind the door, she was even yawning a bit.
"yea I've been up, go eat first" Stephan replied calmly.
"alright," Jasmine said and made her way downstairs, Stephan listened to the sound of her footsteps getting further away and released a sigh of relief.
As Stephan was about to step out as well, a ringing sound was heard coming from his right pocket.
his phone was ringing, and it was a call from one of his high school friends.
Stephan answered the call and put the phone close to his ear.
"hey bro, what's up?" Stephan asked, the other person on the other end of the phone was his high school buddy, they always hung out during lunch and other occasions they had.
"yo Stephan, I invited Johanna and some other friends to hang out with us later tonight, we are going to see a movie in the theatres, are you down or not? I can come pick you up" Jackson asked, and from his voice, Stephan could tell that this guy was pretty excited about the movie.
Jackson was a slightly short Caucasian man with shoulder-length blonde hair, he was above-average looks and could very well be considered a "playboy", by himself and everyone else around him.
Jackson had long learned to embrace this fact after spending 4 years in high school.
"Sure, I'm down, just hit me up a few minutes early before you come to pick me up," Stephan said with a smile, he had temporarily forgotten that he had friends in this world.
After all the "Stephan" before him wasn't a loser who tried to be a popular loner.
"for sure, don't fall asleep, alright man, see ya" Jackson talked his piece before he ended the call immediately.
Stephan didn't think much about this invitation, after all, he still had the whole night to go out and increased his stat points.
After he became a True Vampire, he didn't know how the system would allocate the gained stat points he got from drinking the blood of mortals.
[Ding!
The Host can now gain a certain amount of stat points randomly from drinking the blood of mortals, but there is no guarantee, please find stronger enemies]
The system seemed to hear Stephan's thoughts and a holographic screen appeared In front of him, explaining to him about the system's allocation of stat points.
Stephan had figured that it would change the stronger he got, Afterall it would be pretty broken if he became incredibly powerful in the future and could drink the blood of hundreds of humans at once, it was simply broken.
