Re-Awakening: Evolving My Shadow Limitlessly With A System-Chapter 3: Types Of Summoning

Summoning to Wageah wasn’t simple.

In my last life, I had been summoned at the age of eighteen. It was a [Random Summoning].

Random summonings didn’t target specific people.

They simply activated in populated areas—parks, cities, schools—and pulled in anyone nearby.

Then there was [Special Summoning].

Unlike random summonings, this one was designed to take specific people to another world.

The ones who created it were inhabitants of Earth, but they were not ’normal’ people.

They were the legendary names etched into myth and folklore—Zeus, Odin, the Monkey King, Dracula, and others.

None of them were born gods.

They were people—just like me—who had been summoned to Wageah in the ancient past and returned after forging names that the world couldn’t forget.

When they came back to Earth, they didn’t sit still.

They formed hidden Clans, passed down their techniques, and built underground empires of wealth and power, completely unknown to the ordinary people living on the surface.

’They escaped that hell.’

’But even after coming back, they wanted strength.’

’No. Perhaps, it all happened because they came back. They realized they could live like kings as long as they were strong.’

The Hidden Clans trained their descendants and servants in secret.

And when a child reached sixteen and proved themselves talented enough, they were sent to Wageah through [Special Summoning].

The weak were left behind on Earth.

Only the best were allowed through.

To them, being summoned—even as a slave—was a privilege.

They believed that their strength would define their status.

Many of them had even reached the Legendary Rank 4 or the near-mythical Rank 5, and they saw themselves as more than slaves. As nobles. As chosen ones worthy of standing alongside the natives of Wageah.

’tsk, no matter how strong they get, the people of Wageah still see them as tools, and slaves.’

That world never saw Earthlings, or any otherworlder as equals.

We were seen as weapons to be discarded once they stopped being useful.

Still, [Special Summoning] could be useful to me.

’I can hijack a Special Summoning and return to Wageah instead of searching for a random summoning.’

’The only problem is the age restriction.’

Minimum age for being summoned was sixteen, whether random summoning or special summoning.

’I have sixteen years to prepare.’

Sixteen years to grow strong enough to change everything, and get my revenge.

I stared up at the mobile hanging above my crib. The toys spun slowly, meaningless, but my mind was working faster than it ever had.

’What path should I take this time?’

In my last life, I had a Supreme Treasure—[Shadow].

It had chosen me after I found in an ancient ruin.

But it hadn’t come with me to the past.

I searched for it immediately after waking. It was missing. I couldn’t feel the [Shadow], or its power.

It was gone.

Which meant I had to start from zero.

Should I become a mage?

Mana (the energy source used by Mages) existed on Earth, but it was so faint it might as well not be there. The ambient mana was too weak.

I could train for years and barely become a 1st star Mage.

’Mage profession is useful to unlock rare and hidden classes, but it will be difficult to become a Mage on Earth.’

Alchemy?

It was powerful.

As the strongest assassin, I had deep knowledge of poisons created through alchemy. I knew how to craft pills and potions, even using low-grade materials.

But Earth didn’t have what I needed. The herbs were ordinary. The Catalysts used in alchemy didn’t exist here.

I would be stuck making garbage elixirs that barely helped.

Was there anything left?

’Warrior?’

’I’m already planning on gaining a Warrior-type Class.’

’But for that I need to wait until my body grows more. Strenuous physical training at this age will cause internal damage instead of being beneficial.’

’Maybe I should look for sponsorship from a Clan—’

A voice echoed in my head, cutting off my thoughts.

[Connection to Host Reformed.]

My eyes widened.

[Awakening Shadow.]

I felt it immediately. A thread of power linked to me was being revealed. I could feel my heartbeat pick up.

’How...?’

Shadow was a Supreme Treasure. One of the few that were said to transcend timelines and dimensions. But it hadn’t come with me when I woke. I was sure of it.

Had it followed me later?

Or maybe... it was dormant. And only reconnected once my spirit fully stabilized in this infant body.

I didn’t care.

It was here. That’s what mattered.

I took a breath, and tried to reach deeper. To reconnect with the Shadow.

Nothing happened immediately.

Then—

[System Reboot: Failed.]

[Reattempting.]

[Rebooting again. Failed.]

[Rebooting again. Failed.]

[Rebooting again. Successful.]

I exhaled a sigh of relief.

Then, without warning, a faint screen flickered in front of my eyes.

It was unstable at first, like a dying flame struggling to stay lit, and then—

The translucent screen snapped into place.

I stared at the screen, stunned.

’The System? But how?’

I wasn’t supposed to have access yet.

In my last life, I had only unlocked the System after I arrived in Wageah.

System was one of the thirteen great treasures left behind by the Supreme God, hidden across the layers of that world.

Only those who stepped foot in Wageah could access System.

And yet, it was here. Active, and connected to me.

’This doesn’t make sense.’

I blinked, just to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. The screen didn’t disappear. If anything, it stabilized further.

The flickers stopped, and the data locked in place.

My fists clenched in excitement.

The System was one of the most powerful tools in existence.

It recorded stats in real time, tracked growth, and more importantly, served as the gateway to special class evolution.

If you fulfilled the right conditions—mastered a normal class to peak, collected rare achievements, completed secret tasks, gained unique insights—it would trigger a rare or hidden class awakening.

That’s how Earthlings who were once slaves had been able to reach Rank 4 in Wageah.

And now, somehow, I had both [System] and [Shadow].

Shadow was far stronger than System.

It wasn’t even a comparison.

But the System still had value.

Information, skill trees, class progression tracking, even class awakening mechanisms. It was like a personal guide, if you knew how to use it properly.

I clenched my fist with excitement.

Then, I stared at the status screen hovering in front of me again. One line caught my eye.

Name: @!$!@#$@

Instead of my name, it was just a mess of symbols and numbers.

’It’s not showing my name.’
