All Chapters of THE SHADOW KING'S SECOND WORLD: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Dawn came to Dorm 13 with a body hanging on the gate.The Shadow Killer's black mask was still on. The paper on his chest flapped in wind. It said in Jin's handwriting:DEMON KING'S DOGS ARE NOT WELCOME IN SHADOW CLASS.- SHADOW KING JINBy 7 AM, the whole Arcadia Academy saw it.Nobles on their way to Main Class stopped. Pointed. Whispered."Is that... A-Rank? Dead?""Who killed it?""Dorm 13? The Ghost Dorm?"Inside Dorm 13, 100 ex-slaves did not hide. For the first time in their lives, they ate breakfast at the main table, not on floor. They wore clean clothes Jin bought yesterday. They sat like students.Mira sat on Knight's lap, eating bread. Knight, the giant shadow in armor, carefully fed her small bites.Varok stood at gate, in new guard uniform, chest out. He was proud. Yesterday he was slave guard. Today he was Captain of Shadow Kingdom's gate.Leon did not sleep all night. He was writing letters. Fast."Jin, are you crazy?" Leon said, running to Jin who was on roof meditati

Arcadia Academy Council Hall was not a hall. It was a coliseum of judgment.100 meters round. 12 thrones for 12 Class Leaders. S-Rank to A-Rank aura everywhere. In center, Headmaster's empty throne - Headmaster never came, only his voice.And in middle of that circle, stood Jin. Alone."Ex-slave Jin," said Lady Valeria, Leader of Main Class, Gold armor. S-Rank. She looked at Jin like looking at dirt. "You hanged Demon King's envoy on Academy gate. You crippled three S-Rank Demon Envoys. You have given Demon King reason for war. Explain why we should not expel you and give you to Azazel."Leon, sitting behind in his father's throne - Leader of Merchant Class - wanted to stand but his father held his shoulder. "Don't. You die too."Jin did not bow. Kings don't bow in circles."I killed a dog that entered my Kingdom," Jin said calmly. "Demon King sent assassin A-Rank to kill my people at night. I left body as message. As any King would.""Your Kingdom?" Valeria laughed. "Dorm 13? The Gho

Kross didn't stay down.Blood Berserk's second stage triggered when demon blood touched ground.His skin cracked. Red steam came out. His eyes went full white. He stood, axe still in hand, but now his body was 4 meters. Horns longer.[ Kross: S-Rank -> S-Rank Berserk Mode - Strength +50%, Defense +50%, Pain 0% ]Academy students screamed. Even A-Rank Class Leaders stood up."Jin! Dodge! That's not S-Rank! That's S+ power for 30 seconds!" Leon shouted from wall, voice breaking.Ren clenched bread so hard it became powder. "Jin..."On wall, the 100 D-Rank Legion felt it again. Even with Fear Immunity, the air became heavy. Varok's knees bent.Jin didn't move. His black flame eyes looked at his own hand. The Seal on his chest - invisible to others - was now burning through his shirt. A black crown mark.[ Seal Break: 99% -> 100% - WARNING: Monarch Body Not Ready ][ If you force S- now, you will lose 1 year lifespan ]Elara saw the black light from roof. She dropped wine bottle. It shatt

The arena was screaming.Not with voices. With shadows.100 hands held one broken axe. The blood on it was still alive. S-Rank demon blood doesn't die when the weapon breaks. It boils.[ Channeling: 17% ][ Time Left As C-Rank: 44 Minutes ][ Warning: Demon Blood Core Resisting ]Varok's arms were shaking. He was a miner for 12 years before the slave mark. He knew heavy. This was heavier than stone."It's fighting us!" Mira shouted. Her black healing light was the only thing keeping Varok's hands from burning. "The blood doesn't want to be a house! It wants to be a weapon!"Leon was reading the scroll while running in circles, panicking."It says! It says 'The Castle must be fed a memory! A memory of home! Or it will become a prison!"Elara turned her head. Her S-Rank aura was holding back 2000 students who were trying to look into the arena. Headmaster's barrier was down."Memory of home? These kids never had a home!"Ren was kneeling where Jin sank. His own black veins were crawling

The last of the 500 crossed the gate at noon.Leon closed the count."600, Monarch. Full."Inside Ghost Dorm, 600 people were breathing. The living castle was no longer quiet. It was groaning. Growing.[ Citizens: 600/1000 ][ Castle Hunger: 600/1000 Fed - LIMIT REACHED ][ Castle Energy: 68% - OVERLOAD ]The walls were sweating black water. Beds were growing too fast. From the ceiling, from the floor. Some beds were half-made, half-wall.Ren was running."Stop eating!" she shouted at the kitchen. "Don't make more beds! Make strength!"The floating black pots didn't listen. They kept making soup. Soup spilled on the floor and the floor drank it.Varok came to Jin. His face was pale."Jin. Something is wrong. The castle... it is full. It cannot take more people. If we take 10,000... it will burst."Jin was not looking at Varok. He was looking at the back of the crowd.At the silver-haired girl.She was sitting alone. Eating soup very fast. Hiding her face. Her collar was still on. Ever
