In The Shadows' Burden: The one Who Bears All, the story follows Umbra, an enigmatic and immensely powerful god known for his boundless love and unshakable will. As the strongest among the gods, Umbra stands apart, choosing not to wield his power for harm, which earns him the deep love and loyalty of the people. This adoration, combined with the unwavering support of the Shadows—his devoted followers—fuels the envy and resentment of other gods who feel threatened by his unbreakable will.

Unable to tarnish Umbra's character directly, these jealous gods conspire to alter time itself, manipulating both past and future events to rewrite the truth of who Umbra truly is. They influence the very narration of his story, casting doubt on what is real and what is fabricated. As part of their scheme, they force Umbra into a relentless cycle of reincarnation, subjecting him to endless forms of suffering before each rebirth. Each life brings its own torment, compelling him to bear the weight of existence in all its forms.

As we travel through Umbra's lives with him, we will encounter an array of overpowered characters, each with their own unique abilities and motivations. The veil of deception slowly lifts, revealing hidden truths and a complex past shaped by betrayal, love, and resilience. Ultimately, The Shadows' Burden becomes a powerful exploration of faith, truth, and the relentless pursuit of self-discovery amid a universe determined to hide it.

Despite an exterior that should be stoic and impassive, something stirred deep within him, something he hadn't felt for a very long time.

At first, he had questioned his actions. Why had he taken the girl in? Why had he protected her despite the fear, despite her obvious connection with the demon race he had been so thoroughly programmed to hate? Several times, he had almost decided to snuff out her life, his mind rationalizing that she was a threat, her bloodline potentially carrying the very same darkness consuming his own existence. But whenever he had thought it out, he had met with huge opposition.

He couldn't do that, and somehow deep in his body, despite what he had experienced, something still resisted: one cared, and hesitated.
