Shadow was an assassin with no family, no friends, and no purpose beyond the missions assigned to him. Kidnapped at the age of five and forced to serve a ruthless assassin organization for fifty long years, his life was a series of shadows and bloodshed. On the eve of his fifty-fifth birthday, he completed his final mission with hope in his heart. A hope that freedom and a better life were finally within reach.

But that hope was shattered. Betrayed by the very organization he had devoted his life to, Shadow was ruthlessly killed, his decades of loyalty repaid with treachery. As his life slipped away, he swore one thing.

"If he had a second chance, he would live life on his terms, unshackled and free".

In the void between life and death, Shadow's soul was met by "Syl". The enigmatic Shadow Monarch's System. Syl offered him what he craved most. Another chance at life, but in a world far different from his own. Without hesitation, Shadow accepted, eager to grasp the life he was denied.

Reborn into a realm of gods, magic, and chaos, Shadow soon learns the truth.

He is a Wild Card, a pawn in the gods’ celestial game. Amere source of entertainment for their whims. But Shadow is no ordinary human. With the sarcastic and unpredictable Syl by his side, a glitching system that grants him powers beyond imagination, he embarks on a journey to defy the gods and forge his destiny.

My Shadow Monarch's System

Something was terribly wrong. That shadow, shape, gait, it all felt so wrong, unlike anything Shadow had ever seen.

He hadn't noticed it at first, seeing the dismembered bodies of the villagers who gathered around, he expected the shadows that lay about to be in dishevel. Until, he saw that monstrosity.

He couldn't make sense of it, was it an animal, a beast, or perhaps a species that he had never seen before, in any case, the bloodlust coming from the monster was suffocating.

Liora was about to say something, but he couldn't risk giving out their locations. There was still some light that leaked into the cave from the entrance, giving him a leeway to hide and observe the beast. He simply couldn't understand its shadow.

He held her mouth before she spoke, dragging her into a corner hidden in the shadows, he stayed there, his heart thumping wildly as he felt the presence approaching him.

A Demon.
