It's past midnight, around 1 a.m. To be awake at this time, I have to sleep early, around 7 p.m. I cannot not sleep, I know the consequences of not sleeping. Our body needed sleep to repair or replace damaged cells.
I summon the Book of Shadow, my status book, gifted by the Shadow Goddess, it appear on the palm of my hand as I move it forward as if I try to catch something falling off the sky. Except, the book did not fall from the sky, it just, appear from the void.
I open and flip the pages, the writings only visible to me, other people will only see that I flip the pages of an empty book, but the fact is, it is not an empty book.
I see my status.

"Should I unlock Shadow Shield?"
I flip to skill description section to read.
Shadow Shield- Create a shield from void. Will devour projectile magic, enemy weapon, and limb. To use, simply chant 'Shadow Shield'. Mp cost is 2 per second.
"Hmm, maybe later." I said.
I close the book and it simply vanish.
The shadow spies I sent during the day should comeback anytime soon. While waiting, I'll go train my body in the underground training room.
I do all kinds of training to prepare my body. Weight lifting, cardio, martial arts, swordplay, archery. I am only 9 years old and already train like this. Yeah, better start early. I want to turn this whimpy body to a super solid macho warrior.
The shadow spies start to return. One by one the shadow spies transfer their memory to me. Apparently, the shadow spies understand what I want to know, and they already filter what is important information and what is not, before the memory transfer.
I finally know what is going on.
Velgrin Trade Companies, is a large company that control The World's economy. Behind them, Vampires. Their Board directors, executives, are all vampires.
"Damn capitalist blood suckers!" I murmurs.
Greedy human nobles who are in pursuit of immortality, sought help from Lady Chaos, The Fallen Goddess. They pledge loyalty and worship for Lady Chaos. In return, The Fallen Goddess bestowed upon them, Vampirism.
Information about Lady Chaos and her creations are already implanted by the Shadow Goddess into the memory of my soul.
However, citizen of The World doesn't seem to know about the existence of Lady Chaos. They only know about Goddess of Light, and Goddess of Shadow. And they're blaming Goddess of Shadow for the vampires and werewolves.
This information are also implanted by the Goddess of Shadow to my soul's memory.
"The vampires probably erased all information about Lady Chaos from the public records," I said to myself.
Velgrin Trade Companies, or VTC for short, has many subsidiaries companies. Among them are Velgrin Securities Trading Company, who is responsible for manipulating the stock market.
There are also a few companies who became competitors to my father's Lorandis Trade Company, by selling the same thing, but cheaper, making Lorandis Trade Company decline in business. Those companies belongs to VTC, but they doesn't have VTC name in their company's name, so the public was not aware.
I have a few ideas on how to help my father, Viscount Lorandis.
I grinned.
"Do not underestimate me, I am Thamuel Lorandis, the Saint of Shadow!!!"
