Born in the gritty townships of South Africa, Kabelo "Shadow" Ndlovu learned to survive by any means necessary. Orphaned at a young age, he sharpened his skills as a hunter, his keen eyes and steady hands making him a natural marksman. Recruited into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), he quickly rose through the ranks as a lethal sniper, his reputation earning him the callsign "Shadowstrike."
His prowess caught the attention of U.S. Special Forces, and after transferring, he became one of the deadliest long-range killers in the world. But everything changed during a classified black ops mission gone wrong. Captured and subjected to a failed military experiment meant to enhance soldiers' combat abilities, Kabelo was left for dead—until he awoke with an impossible power: the ability to open portals.
At first, he could only create small rifts—just enough to slip a bullet through. But as he mastered his ability, he learned to traverse entire countries in a blink, assassinating targets without ever being seen. A ghost. A phantom.
Now, hunted by shadowy government agencies, rival special forces units, and mercenary corporations who want to weaponize his power, Kabelo must fight to stay free. With enemies closing in from all sides, he must decide: Will he be a weapon for others… or the hunter who turns the tables on those who made him?
