[ The Oraklis Orphanage. ]
" Father Priest, you had done great service to the Nyx Nocterra House. "
" I'm satisfied with the great candidates you've given , they could all be good soldiers for the House. " said Tyrannus Nyx Nocterra as he let his Dark Soldiers to take in the new recruits.
As he co out, he stumbled upon Tenebrae, whom he found already waited for him in front of the door.
" I thought you are relieving your status by punching so of the orphans...? " Tyrannus asks Tenebrae which Tenebrae responds.
" I already did, but it seems the orphan I preyed is too easy... " Tenebrae says with pride.
" Easy? " Tyrannus asks they walk to their vehicle.
" Of course it does, father... " Tenebrae smirks as they both went past the mirror.
" An abandoned orphan, will never had the chance to punch this son of yours. " Tenebrae says as he looks at the mirror, which shows his reflection, looked so monstrous as the reflection took form as Duncan Grimshaw.

< Skill Unlocked. >
< Skill: [Appearance Shift II (Passive)] -- (LVL.1) >
< An ability that enables the User to shift appearance to another person, by first, consuming a sample from their body. This next phase of skill enables the User to hold to identities to shift into. >
" Consu...? " Duncan asks as he thinks about this, he then rembers the ti when he consus Captain Duncan as he takes his form.
" So, now I can consu another? " Duncan asks as he then decides to pick Tenebrae's hand and bite him a little, which activates the Passive's effect.
Duncan noms Tenebrae's hand, he only took a little bite.
"( The flesh, the blood... )"
"( It is rich, with Mana... )" Duncan says as the System shows the 'Words'.
< The User begin to extract 'Tenebrae Nyx Nocterra'. >
" So nice, this is great, I... " Duncan begins to feel ecstasy, his feral instincts begin to kick in, but before that.
" What in the f*k you're doing!? " a voice yells and him as Duncan receives a huge knuckle sandwich in the face which throws him far.
" Gakh, who...!? " Duncan was surprised as he then see a familiar face intervened.
" Black rchant!? " Duncan calls as Black rchant cos out of nowhere, punching him.
" Damn right, you are... " Black rchant says as he then look at Tenebrae for a while.
As he looks at the Royal Boy, Duncan approached as he spits his so drolls.
" Black rchant, why do you stop !? "
" I need to consu him full to fully attain his form, perhaps it could get off the hook from his father's wrath...! " Duncan tells Black rchant.
Black rchant listens and sighs. He shakes his head and closes his eyes as he sees sothing from Duncan.
" Duncan, your arm... " Black rchant points at Duncan's arm, as Duncan then horrifyingly witnessed his hands reverting to his 'original' hands.
" What the... "
" You're lucky I intervened during that process... " Black rchant tells Duncan.
" During the 'attaining' process, a D######r's disguise will temporarily be unraveled as their body process their consumption's traits. "
" One of the weakness of your kind, the weakness I always used when finding out which one of the people I know is a D######r. " Black rchant tells.
" Wow, thanks for that! " Duncan replies sarcastically.
" Why the System didn't inform about this? Wasn't it supposed to have information regarding my race you told , the one which na I still couldn't pronounce? " Duncan asks the Black rchant.
" The System you posses is a Lite-Version Copy of the original, a knock-off. "
" So don't expect it to be too advanced, since the System installed by the System Nanos are still a prototype. "
" A 'Copy', really? " Duncan asks the Black rchant as he imdiately throw Duncan the new package.
< 'Package' Obtained. >
< Black rchant's Special: Pills for Perfect Disguise (Legendary) | (40) >
" More of these? " Duncan asks as he received it. He looks at the Black rchant who glares at him as he received it.
" Fine, fine, I'll consu it. "
< Item 'Pills for Perfect Disguise (Legendary) consud >
< User's disguise will be restored. >
< Disguise Restored >
Duncan sees his Disguised form restored, he sighs as he looks around.
" So you finally realized, how vulnerable your leak are if I hadn't intervened? " Black rchant asks as Duncan did this while in open space instead on a more secluded one.
" You're lucky that you're not chosen to beco one of the Nyx Nocterra's soldiers nor for you to even know about it. "
" After all, the house recruits the orphans to beco their Wolves, their 'Hounds' nonetheless. "
" Due to the House's secretive nature, they tend to only order and entrust missions to those they prepared from early age. "
" Hence why they have their own knights, despite the Kingdom could've easily given them so of their own, but they refused. "
" I know, I know... "
" Which is why I evaded them, yes? " Duncan asks as he told the Black rchant for training here in the first place, it was his good ploy before Tenebrae cos out of the dark.
" Indeed, it was your good decision... " Black rchant praises.
" Since things had co to this, I believe your attempt on biting him was to do sothing you were greatly at. " Black rchant asks as Duncan smirks.
< Identity Obtained >
< User can now shifted into 'Tenebrae Nyx Nocterra'. >
" I see..., so that's how you're going to get out of this ss. " Black rchant comnts.
" By becoming 'him'... " Black rchant looks at Tenebrae for a bit.
" You had no choice but to be more careful as you beco a 'stranger' once more. "
" A stranger in a family covered by the dark, a place you shouldn't get yourself into... "
" But, since it cos to this... " Black rchant picks Tenebrae and bring him up.
" Black rchant..., wai-... " Duncan was sprayed by the gust of wind as Black rchant vanishes from his sight alongside Tenebrae.
" He just left? " Duncan asks after seeing the rchant vanishes before him and suddenly a piece of paper slams right on Duncan's face.
" What the? " Duncan asks as he picks the paper and sees a note.
[ Duncan, DG-525, IF you really wanted to get out of this, then here is my only advice. ]
[ 1. Gradually use the pill in the earliest leak of your real form. ]
[ 2. Avoid mirrors, for now. Since your physical chemistries are still not used to with the disguise, like your first days when you.attain the 'Duncan' form. ]
[ 3. Quickly master so of Tenebrae's primary Nyx Nocterra House's magic, Tyrannus often made him fight against other 'Royal' kids. ]
[ 4. Continuing from the third, won every battle that Tyrannus want you to won. ]
[ 5. If the worst scenario cos, inform to get you out as fast as you can. ]
[ My sincere advices, Black rchant. ]
...
( Back to the present. )
[ Nyx Nocterra's Private Residence. ]
" It seems I have to be extra careful... " Duncan says as he look at himself in the mirror, seeing his Duncan Grimshaw reflection.
" Despite this is a great opportunity to live like a Royal, for a while... " Duncan smirks as he now takes Tenebrae's identity from now.
...
( At the sa ti. )
[ Black rchant's Place ]
" I hope he won't be awake for so ti. " Black rchant says as he puts Tenebrae on so kind of a stasis pod, to keep him from intervening during Duncan's disguise.
________________
Extra:
About Duncan's reflection, due to his 'real' race's biology, after Duncan first obtain another person's identity, the body will able to shift but their reflection will take ti to form the sa reflections like the new identity they shifted into, months perhaps.
That's why, after Duncan obtain a new identity, Duncan must evade any mirrors at all costs, in order for him to keep himself hidden for being a fraud disguise.
