A place where darkness consumed everything and everywhere.
An empire filled with shadow slaves.
They are humans but devoid of any natural nutrients.
Each food given by the lord of the land of the shadows (the abyss), but the food was mixed with a liquid that drains all the nutrients from the food.
The only nutrients left only keep the slaves alive.

Jimmy sighed in disappointment.
"I am just 7 teals of silver short" he said with a bit of anger.
Jimmy parents abandoned him to be a slave after birth and they went to the city slaying monsters and gaining wealth and fame.
Since then Jimmy had been doing labor.
Jimmy's thoughts were interrupted by a felling of a whip hitting his back.
"swipe, wham!!!!!"
The loud sound echo throughout the empty darkness, were it is hard to hear at a particular distance.
Jimmy was writhing in pain, rolling on the ground.
"Stand up and continue carrying the bags of cement", a voice rang out in a cold tone.
Jimmy clenched his fist, his lips dried and he stood back up, still filling the pain of the whip strike to his back.
"okay, as you say"
The guard holding the whip nodded and continued walking.
Jimmy spotted a few coins escaping from the guards pocket.
Since everywhere is an empty space the sound of coins clattering to the ground was very faint.
Jimmy looked stunned and took the coins and put it in his pouch.
It only took a few minutes for Jimmy and the guard to reach the clearing were labour was visibly ongoing.
"System shop open"
Jimmy thinks in his mind
