Demon Lord 3

I asked the shadowy figure how I could become one. After some thought, he finally came up with a plan: to enter the cave at the back. Once inside, I could become a shadowy figure. I asked how this worked. The shadowy figure explained that once I entered the cave, I could experience different scenery. If I could return safely after exiting, I could become a shadowy figure. If I couldn't, I might die. He asked if I dared to take a chance. Without hesitation, I walked right into the cave. I felt like the shadowy figure was just trying to scare me, perhaps testing my mettle. Just now I said I was his God, but he didn't believe it. Later he used provocation to ask me if I was interested. I didn't say anything and walked in. Halfway through, he asked me if I regretted it. I said no, never regret it. Then I walked in. Maybe this is a road to death, but I want to move towards life. I say the craziest words, write the coolest articles, but in the end I can only slowly withdraw from this unknown world. The more I walk into this black cave, the more I feel it is very weird. There is no light inside, but I can see very clearly. My eyes are not night pearls. Why is that? Later, I simply raised my hand and pulled a rock from the top of the mountain. The cave then collapsed. I continued running as if nothing had happened. I actually ran for two reasons. The first was to speed up, to make the cave collapse easier. That way, I could run faster and give myself a boost. The other was that if the cave collapsed, the shadowy figure would surely arrive. It wasn't like the shadowy figure would disappear forever just because I entered. If I didn't see the shadowy figure later, maybe they were here to help us, just testing me. I felt like I'd lost out if I didn't enter the cave. The further I ran, the hotter I felt. I didn't know where this cave led to. Maybe it really led to purgatory, or maybe it was the center of the earth. If I fell there, I wouldn't survive; I'd definitely be scalded to death. I turned back to look for the shadowy figure, but I couldn't find any trace of him. Where was he? The shadowy figure really wasn't coming. The further I went inside, the hotter it got. But after passing through the so-called center of the earth, I started to feel very cold again. When I neared the exit, I was actually lost. I walked around for several times but couldn't get out. What was going on? I really had no way out now. I circled here for a long time, feeling helpless. It wasn't cold or hot here, but the environment was extremely harsh. There were ghosts howling all around, like wild beasts. Although I wasn't trembling, I was lost here. I wanted to get out, but I was also attached to everything here. I didn't want to leave. Perhaps only here I could understand the true meaning of good and evil, perhaps I could truly know where not to trespass! Time passed by minute by minute, and I seemed to be unable to find the real problem. I didn't know what the problem was. Now I wanted to ask for help from those around me, but there was no one around me. Even my beloved little pet, Miemie, had disappeared. I knew I couldn't bring it with me into this dream. I smiled slightly, knowing that I seemed to be completely trapped here, and I didn't think about it anymore. Perhaps only in this kind of environment can I understand what life is truly like. I lay down again, thinking that if I could look at the ceiling here and understand everything, well, that might be the best outcome. But after walking for a while, I realized this place wasn't what I'd imagined. I couldn't find the way back, and I couldn't get out either. What was going on? I watched the light recede. As I got closer, I felt a void, and as I moved away, I felt closer. By the time I was further away, there was no trace of the light anymore. Suddenly, the shadowy figure rushed towards me, and we engaged in a fight. I couldn't understand why the shadowy figure's strength had suddenly weakened. Just now, it felt like he had control over everything, but now he was one with me. He felt like he had the same abilities and moves as me, and he was fighting with great pleasure. It was like looking in a mirror. I could never win, and neither could he. There was no point in continuing to fight like this, except that he should be physically better than me.
