Mu You led a summoned army through the first floor of the Dungeon and found the Flame Lord, whose strength scaled with the number of nearby enemies. He returned alone to defeat it, opened the second-floor entrance, and obtained an Evolution Gem that could upgrade Epic equipment to legendary quality.
Mu You cleared the Dungeon’s first floor, shared a guide that helped players reach the second floor, and watched as Sunset City and Twilight City were activated on the same day. In K City, Kusanagi Tetsuya investigated several disappearances and suspected they might be connected.
Mu You brewed a Mute Potion to help Mermaid recover her voice and watched a Chimera hatchling emerge and bond with him after eating the Dragon-Taming Stone. In K City, a young man from the Wind and Thunder Sect investigating Number 14 noticed Mu You’s pet shop and decided to visit it himself.
The Pet Shop held its first Chocobo race, which ended with an amateur spectator beating the professionals after their magic-filled final sprint descended into chaos. Afterwards, Mu You uncovered a suspicious probe by two visitors connected to Jin Yuan and Yu Yi Nian, and both he and the bespectacled young man arranged to investigate the other.
Mu You explored the Cook Islands to find the Undead Society and learned how locals preyed on outsiders by implanting gu insects and charging for their removal. After enduring and rewinding through several traps, he found a beggar whose information menu revealed that nobody in the village had a shadow.
Mu You learned that Granny Tang had ties to the Undead Society and controlled a deadly shadow fiend, then accepted a quest from an old woman seeking news of her missing granddaughter, Louise. After obtaining the Society’s hidden entrance in Grayrock Village, he watched the papermaking workshop and spotted robot wrecks that might offer a way inside.
Mu You infiltrated an underground complex disguised as a cleaning robot and found a fragment of Louise’s diary describing a planned uprising at the hospital. Elsewhere, a young man used Louise’s shadow to resurrect a man as a giant Shadow Fiend, while Mu You followed the pleas of his own Shadow Fiend toward an unknown destination.
Mu You rescued Ye Rumeng from a rampaging Shadow Fiend and fled the city with two different pursuers on his heels. After unleashing the Shadow Fiend from his box to fight the giant creature, he and Lin Xue cornered the muscular pursuer, whose shadowless corpse suggested he had escaped.
Mu You helped stop a Shadow Fiend attack, suspected its mastermind was a being from the Star Spirit World, and learned the culprit was tied to Japan’s Wind and Thunder Sect. He agreed to join an official delegation traveling to Japan, where he could investigate the incident and Little Girl’s background.
Mu You joined a Celestial Empire delegation traveling to Japan to investigate the Wind and Thunder Sect and shared clues that could expose shadow people. After the Wind and Thunder Sect’s base was found empty, the Blood Emperor and the Dragon Group director pressured Japan’s Defense Society to cooperate in tracking them down.
The exchange delegation exposed and killed Uchimura, a Shadow Person posing as a Japanese Defense Society vice president, then captured the shadow he left behind. The shadow disappeared moments later, leading Director Wang to suspect its real body in the Star Spirit World had been killed to silence it.
Mu You revealed that he possessed Gemini's and Scorpio's Crystals, made the Black Magic Enthusiasts' Club the Mystic Arts Association's primary target, and traded for a powerful spatial spell. While exploring the Underground Factory's Southern District, he found Louise's fifth diary fragment, which described a failed escape and a horrific punishment in the Western District, prompting him to explore it next.
Mu You infiltrated the Western District’s Gu Pool through a sewage pipe, found a Golden Silkworm pupa, and overheard the Undead Society’s leader discussing a coming Spatial Rift and the plan to use Shadow Messengers as bait. He tried to attack the leader but was overwhelmed by a terrifying presence and died.
Mu You investigated the underground factory, uncovered a diary page about Mianmian’s dream ability, and killed the Green-Clothed Old Woman to recover a clue from Louise’s music box. The other Shadow Fiends then tore him apart.
Mu You investigated Louise’s diary and Ye Rumeng’s past, discovering evidence that Ye Rumeng’s memories of a sister named Mianmian did not match her family home. The chapter left Ye Rumeng asleep after her memories seemed to cause her pain, while Mu You suspected she had been abducted and her memories altered.
Mu You realized that Sayaka, a missing child with no official report, might be a Shadow Person and had Lu Yao search Tokyo’s school records for her. As Tokyo descended into chaos from a mass Shadow Fiend attack, Sayaka reached the newly opened spatial rift underground, but someone appeared and blocked her path.
Mu You and Lin Xue captured the Shadow Person hiding as Sayaka, but it revealed that its weakened shadow could no longer suppress a monster beneath the underground factory before vanishing. The monster emerged as the God of Shadows and attacked Dawn City, where a giant octopus began trying to pull it off Sky City.
Mu You and Lin Xue discovered that the Shadow God's Shadow had taken over its human host and was a level-35 creature with billions of Health. By combining the Evil-Subduing Death Knell, sunlight, and the Octopus King's restraint, they pinned it down temporarily, leaving Mu You to mobilize Dawn City's citizens before it broke free.
Dawn City’s residents learned that attacking the immobilized God of Shadows granted generous rewards, including True Experience that bypassed level bottlenecks. Thousands rushed to defend the city, and the Shadow God’s health fell rapidly, leaving Mu You expecting the fight to end well before the two-hour deadline.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon’s guide persuaded Dawn City players to farm the Shadow God, but its passive God's Hammer repeatedly wiped out the attackers and restored its Health. Mu You organized a log-off strategy to limit its healing; when the Shadow God reached 10% Health, it split into a miniature form and over a hundred thousand Shadow Fiends that attacked the players.
Mu You discovered the Shadow God’s final attack could kill everyone nearby and delay their revival, so he escaped it with Lin Xue and killed the weakened god afterward. The Shadow God’s mastermind fled, while a newly formed Shadow Fluffball chose Mu You as its host.
After defeating the Shadow God's Shadow, Mu You tested the Shadow Fluffball's abilities and decided to save the Energy Book for a later level. He and Lin Xue then went to Old Luke's Papermaking Workshop to break into the Undead Society, while Dawn City players learned the crisis was over.
Mu You and Lin Xue fought through the Underground Factory, where Mu You’s shadow puffball and the released Shadow Fiend helped defeat the administrators’ Shadow Fiends. In the hidden study, they found records revealing how Controllable Shadow Fiends were made and discovered that Ye Rumeng and Mianmian were paired in an experiment whose outcome was left blank.
Ye Rumeng returned to the hospital where she remembered being held with her sister, but found only ruins and learned that the experimenter had used her and her sister to create a self-aware Shadow Fiend. Mu You told her there was no one left to save and called her Mianmian, leaving her staring at a shadow that belonged to a taller girl.
Mianmian planned to escape the Underground Factory with Ye Rumeng, but when the girls were subjected to the Final Experiment, Ye Rumeng took Mianmian’s pain and memories so Mianmian could survive. As Mianmian fell asleep, the person behind the experiment watched the two girls’ shadows merge and anticipated the birth of the Church’s finest creation.
