[abyss]

[an 'abyss' is a gate leading to a subspace where 'fallen' and 'shadows' have made their home, usually ruled by a 'fallen lord'. while the abyss is a home for 'fallen' it is also a type of golem capable of fending off intruders on its own by creating traps like pitfalls and golems, because of its terrain and ecosystem any non fallen that enter will not return]

[fallen]

[powerful existences that have died near an 'abyss' and whose souls have been absorbed by the 'abyss', in exchange for a new life and home the 'fallen' help support the 'abyss' and obey the 'fallen lord']

[shadows]

[simple golem type soldiers the 'abyss' creates for protection, while the design might be different they always have a humanoid shape, black armor and red eyes. they are very simple and are absolutely loyal]

[that is the basic information you will need, master tyrah]

"okay, now i know that, but how do you know my name?" tyrah asked carefully

[that is because you have become a 'fallen lord' so knowing your name is only the basic amount of decency for our ruler]

"wait, 'fallen lord'?"

[yes, anymore questions should be asked when you wake up. if you need me call out 'g']

"g? thats a wierd name."

[when you wake up make sure to call me!]

"sure.."

as tyrah woke up she felt she was leaning against a tree, after standing up and looking around she saw she was in the forest where she was running earlier, but then she quickly saw she was surrounded by 6 knights wearing black armor.

as she reached for her sword she realized it was gone not even the scabbard was there.

but then the knights suddenly knelt down.

"we greet our queen!" all knights loudly said in unison surprising tyrah.

after recovering from the ringing in her ears caused by the knights yelling she realised there was a connection between the seven of them, a small one but its there, like a thin thread woven between the knights and her.

after realising this she asked "you are shadows, right?"

"yes that is correct our queen!" all knights yelled out causing the nearby trees to shake because of the frightened birds flying away.

"could you be a bit less loud? my ears are ringing."

"understood!" the knights said while still sounding exited but no longer yelling.

suddenly a rustling in the nearby bushes was heard followed by multiple howls.

"wolves, thanks to your yelling they have found us." tyrah said annoyed.

as a pack of ten wolves walk out from the bushes the knights readied their weapons, 4 had spears 1 had dual knives the last a longsword.

"please leave it to us!" the knight with the longsword said.

"sure." tyrah anwsered wanting to see the strength of the knights.

"then, ready!... throw!" as the longsword wielding knight said this the spear wielding knights all held their spears behind their heads and then threw the spears they were holding with immense force, piercing into 4 of the wolves and nailing them to the ground.

[user has had a huge increase in strength calculating rewards]

[user has recieved a 'shadow ring' as the reward]

"what does this mean?"

[loading status]

[name: tyrah]

[level: 14]

[class: shadow queen (lesser)]

[status points: 26]

[stats: ]

[abilities: ]

"oh! right, that thing said it would explain, um 'g' are you there?"

[yes, im here!]

"alright, then what does this mean?"

[ah, youre talking about the system interface? its really simple, your achievements and stats are shown here]

"ok but what does it mean?" tyrah asked a bit annoyed.

[oh thats what you mean, sorry. let me explain in detail, when you kill creatures seen as enemies you get awarded exp, when you earn enough exp you level up, when you level up you get status points, you use status points to increase your power, keep in mind that the average creature has about 10 points in what they specialize in and less in the rest!]

[then there are skills, skills are upgraded by using status points or training, the higher the level the better the skill, skills levels range from 1-7, when the level reaches 7 the skill might evolve]

[i would recommend saying 'recieve reward' after a battle]

"alright, recieve reward!" as she was saying this the knights had finished the battle, they had recieved some scratches, but nothing serious.

as the knights came over an even louder howl could be heard nearby shaking the forest and causing the birds who had calmed down to fly away in a panic.

"queen tyrah! get behind us!" the longsword wielding knight yelled as the knights readied their weapons.

as the plants in front were shaking a wolf larger than the others jumped out, seeing the knights the wolf rushed at them biting through the waist of one of the knights.

While jumping back the wolf was confused, because when it bit the enemy the part it bit dissapeared, but its question was anwsered when the knight who was bit in half turned into black particles that returned to the original position, rebuilding the knight.

while the wolf appeared tyrah was immersed in the reward she obtained, it was a ring with a rose pattern.

[shadow ring (rose)]

[rank: ??]

[effect: summon shadow knights and fallen from the 'rose' faction]

as she was putting on the ring the large wolf noticed her and jumped at her without her realising it.

[shadow queen tyrah has equipped the shadow ring (rose), summoning...] the system said.

flash! A blinding light shone from the ring stunning the wolf and forming a humanoid shape in front of tyrah.
