Chapter 2: The Shadow Golem

[Meditation] is a martial art that requires active cultivation, but the existence of inheritance has changed the cultivation method of [Meditation].

As long as the inheritance is here with Grady for one day, [Meditation] will cultivate on its own for one day.

And sixteen years of cultivation, starting from the possession, how much shadow energy can be cultivated?

Grady reckons that if he could free it all, he should be able to flood the entire Queens borough.

But, what's the use of drowning?

Shadow energy is a dark attribute power born from shadows, and the dark attribute has a corrosive effect.

Do you want to let yourself drown your enemies with shadow energy and corrode them clean?

Destroying corpses may be very easy to use~

Of the few skills he just obtained, only the Dark Slash and the Shadow Golem need to use Shadow Energy, and the rest can be performed with only the physical body.

So, if you want to put the huge shadow energy to work, the right way is to quickly turn the Inheritance Skill Book to the next page and learn new skills.

But how do you turn the page?

Grady had a headache that he couldn't think of.

"Forget it, let's put it first~ Anyway, Hades doesn't have a time limit, and I can't do it even if I want to get Infinity Stones now."

"So, take your time!"

The shadow energy is very spiritual, although he has been cultivating on his own for sixteen years, but before Grady officially accepted the inheritance, that huge energy was hidden in his shadow, and the only manifestation was Grady's body that was not very athletic but was healthier than his peers.

This is also an important reason why he is close to 1.8 meters at the age of 16.

For the next half hour, Grady didn't go back to sleep, but sat on the bed, studying the skills he had acquired.

Half an hour later, Bang Bang Bang~

There was a knock on the door, "Brother Grady, get up!" A childish and lovely voice sounded outside the door.

Grady couldn't help but smile, this was his brother with whom he had been for six months, Peter Parker.

Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man.

Peter Parker looked at the locked door, stretched out his hand and twisted it but didn't open it, feeling a little strange in his heart, "Brother Grady doesn't usually lock the door~"

Seven-year-old Peter Parker muttered quietly.

Click!

The door opened, and Grady raised his hand and patted Peter Parker's head, "Did Peter get up so early to see Judy?" ”

Judy is the prettiest little girl in Peter Parker's elementary school, and is the killer trick Grady usually uses to make fun of Peter Parker.

Sure enough, little Peter immediately exclaimed, "What! I woke up early to get Ned to school! ”

Ned Leeds, a little fat man, Peter's best friend.

Grady had to say that Peter was much cuter than Ned.

"Okay, I got it. Hurry up and wash up! After reassuring the fried brother a little, Grady pulled Peter into the bathroom.

After a brief wash, the brothers went downstairs, and at the table downstairs sat a middle-aged man who looked quite mature and steady, he was Grady's adoptive father, Ben Parker.

Ben Parker is Chinese New Year's Eve a year old today, but he and Mae Parker got married when they were twenty years old, and after the marriage, it was discovered that one of them was infertile, but the relationship between the two was still very good.

So, they adopted five-year-old Grady in an orphanage and have raised him to this day.

By the way, the beautiful adoptive mother, Mae Parker, is only twenty-nine years old this year.

Looking at Ben Parker, who was reading the newspaper, Grady thought for a moment and shouted, "Daddy, we're down." ”

With a full life experience, Grady is also stressful to call out 'parents' to the Parkers.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, eleven years of careful care, as early as a few years ago, Grady had changed his mind about the two. Now, if you suddenly call it 'Uncle Ben', it will arouse suspicion.

"Well, Grady, Piedy, you're early!"

"Good morning, Uncle Ben!" Peter immediately greeted, "Uncle, let me tell you, Brother Grady just ......"

Although he was only five years old, Peter Parker was already starting to talk to him, and sometimes he would pester Grady throughout the day, which was one of the two reasons Grady used Judy to make fun of Peter.

Another reason is to watch his cute brother fall into an embarrassment, which is also one of Grady's few hobbies.

Peter Parker kept talking, and Ben threw a look of help at Grady, who spread out his hands and couldn't help.

"I'll go to the kitchen and see my mother."

With such an excuse, Grady fled to the kitchen.

"Oh, big baby, you're up! Come, let mom kiss it. Why~"

Grady covered his forehead with a helpless expression, which was his adoptive mother's affectionate name for him.

Kissing the forehead is a family expression of love for themselves, and Grady can't hide from it.

Also, Peter is a little baby.

Mother and son talked, and Grady helped serve the food.

After a warm and hearty breakfast, before seven o'clock, Grady took his satchel and pulled Peter Parker out of the house.

Before leaving, Messer gave him ten dollars in change, "You can eat six dollars, Peter four dollars." Bring Peter back from school in the afternoon. Also, take care of yourself and your brother! ”

"yes, I see!"

Because of raising two children, both Ben and Mei have jobs. At noon, they don't return, so the Grady brothers' lunch can only be eaten in their respective school cafeterias.

Peter's Dawes Elementary School and Grady's middle school are both not far from home in Queens, so Grady takes Peter to Ned's house first, and then sends the two children to elementary school, and then he walks in the direction of the school.

The mandatory class hours for American students are not long, from seven or eight in the morning until two or three in the afternoon.

Each class lasts 50 minutes, and the break is only 5 minutes, which is only enough for students to run around the classrooms of various teachers.

The lunch break is also very short, usually only half an hour, so Grady can't eat with Peter at noon.

After the last class is finished at two or three o'clock, students who do not have AP Elective (1) can go home or participate in club activities.

Because he was going to take Peter home with him, Grady didn't take AP classes this semester.

By the way, although Grady is in good condition in all aspects, he is still a virgin.

The reason is that before he woke up, he was affected by the nature of his previous life, plus he didn't want to disappoint the Parkers, and he was a scholar.

He turned a blind eye to the girls' overtures.

Therefore, he is handsome and has good physical fitness, but he is normal.

After all, Grady is single by strength.

As he walked towards the school, Grady moved his fingers as usual.

He walked past several people, without taking a breath of wind, but their hats and newspapers fell off one after another.

"Hey~" The pedestrian picked up his things, looked left and right a little strangely, and found no abnormality, so he continued to do his own thing.

Grady smiled at the success of the prank, although he was quite old psychologically, he was still a child, and he would make a prank or something.

However, he knows the degree of control and will not make the kind of prank that makes others really sad.

Unlike in the past, Grady's prank today is by a supernatural power, the Shadow Golem.

[Shadow Golem: Use shadow energy to create a shadow puppet that ordinary people can't see, this puppet can be stretched at a distance from the stretch limit of the body's shadow, and usually hides in the shadow to absorb replenished energy. Shadow golems can be controlled with simple telepathic commands. 】

Like a child getting a new toy, Grady keeps experimenting with everything about this puppet that no one else can see.

Power, speed, degree of interference with reality.

As he approached the study door, Grady smiled.

Shadow golems are powerful!

It is about two to three times as powerful as an adult, and it is fast, capable of reaching the point where Grady can't see clearly.

The degree of interference with reality is completely controlled by Grady, that is, the shadow golem can pass through the wall at will, or turn into a wall, as long as Grady wants to.

Obediently, this means that you don't have to be afraid of bullets in the future?

Note (1): AP electives, that is, college electives, are offered in American middle schools. Through AP courses, students can take college credits in advance, which greatly saves time and financial costs in college. However, the school does not make mandatory requirements, and students choose voluntarily.
