Eldgrimm

Once, he was Sentinel—Guardian City's beloved protector. A hero in every sense. But when his family was brutally murdered by the crime syndicate he once swore to fight, something inside him broke. Justice wasn’t enough anymore. He needed revenge.

Now, he walks a darker path. Rebranded as Shade, he operates outside the law, hunting the city's worst like a predator in the night. But vengeance is a slippery slope, and the deeper he dives, the more he questions if he's truly fighting evil—or becoming it.

As he battles crime bosses, corrupt officials, and former allies who now see him as a threat, a new danger looms. Someone is pulling strings behind the scenes, orchestrating chaos on a level even he can’t comprehend. And amid the bloodshed, an old flame re-enters his life, challenging the last shred of humanity he has left.

Will he find redemption, or will he burn everything down with him?

Shadow Reckoning

Lucian fired again—Shade caught the bullet mid-air, deflecting it with his blade.

Selene lunged, but Shade saw it before she moved—he grabbed her wrist and twisted, dislocating it with a sickening crack.

Lucian laughed. "YES! THAT'S IT! THAT'S MY MONSTER!"

Shade launched himself at Lucian, pinning him against the lab table, pressing a knife to his throat.

Lucian grinned through the blood in his mouth. "You're mine, Shade."

Shade's grip tightened. "Not anymore."

Then he drove the blade into Lucian's chest.

Lucian choked, his smirk fading. "You… you think this ends with me?"

Shade twisted the knife deeper. "No."

Lucian Black—the man who had made him—slumped to the floor.

Shade turned to Jade, who was barely holding onto consciousness.

He ran to her, pressing his hands to the wound. "Stay with me."

Jade managed a weak smirk. "Told you… I'd distract you."

Shade exhaled sharply. "Yeah. You win."
