Jin-Ho Kang was just another B-rank Hunter—one of countless warriors struggling to rise in a world dominated by monsters and guild politics. When an A-rank dungeon scouting mission goes horribly wrong, he and his team are slaughtered. He should have died.

But instead of death, he awakens in an abyss beyond mortal comprehension. A voice older than time itself speaks to him, a decree is made, and the truth is revealed—he is no longer human. He has inherited a power that was never meant to be his.

The world forgot him.

But he has returned.

As a Sovereign.

As the Monarch of Shadows.

And as the boundaries between life and death begin to blur, the world will soon realize…

The true King has awakened.

Shadow Monarch’s Requiem

Jin-Ho barely had time to prepare before he sensed them. A group of elite hunters, closing in fast. The Celestial Fang Guild didn't play games.

He shifted into the shadows just as the first strike came, a blade slicing through where he had stood moments before. He reappeared a few feet away, facing his attackers.

Five hunters. Each radiating killing intent.

"Jin-Ho Kang," one of them said, stepping forward. "Come quietly, and we won't have to break you."

Jin-Ho smiled. "You assume you can."

They attacked in unison, but Jin-Ho was faster. His shadow tendrils lashed out, clashing against their weapons. The battle was fierce, but Jin-Ho's newfound strength overwhelmed them.

One by one, they fell. And when the dust settled, Jin-Ho stood alone.

He wiped the blood from his face, heart still pounding. The Celestial Fang Guild wouldn't stop. This was only the beginning.
