Outside the Adventurer Guild, Shadow walked through the market but didn't buy anything. He went straight to a narrow alleyway and after making sure nobody was near enough to see him, he uttered some words,
"Transform."
With that, the mask he was wearing deformed into a liquid state and started to take a new shape on his forehead. His clothes also began to dissolve and merged with the liquidated mask and then turned into a pure black headband on his forehead.
After the mask was gone, a handsome face of a young man was revealed with black hair and eyes like the color of pure darkness itself. His pale skin looked like that of a porcelain doll and his face was as if carved out of stone, cold and ruthless with no sign of emotions.
The man looked at his surroundings and again making sure nobody had witnessed his transformation, he walked back to the market area.
