MrFrosty

In the unforgiving kingdom of Velundra, survival is a luxury few can afford. For Ryuu Arakawa, a nineteen-year-old outcast struggling to protect his younger sister, life is a daily battle against hunger, mercenaries, and the crushing rule of the noble elite.

When a band of killers descends upon his village, Ryuu makes a desperate stand, sacrificing himself to save the only family he has left. But as death tightens its grip, a mysterious voice offers him a choice: embrace the Shadowbound System, a power that could rewrite his fate, or die forgotten.

Bound to the system, Ryuu awakens with abilities far beyond mortal limits. Yet the system demands a heavy price—he must kill to grow stronger. Assigned quests that pit him against monstrous beasts, ruthless enemies, and even innocent lives, Ryuu is thrust into a world where morality is a luxury he can no longer afford.

But as the system’s dark influence grows, whispering promises of power and glory, Ryuu begins to unravel the truth behind its creation—a secret tied to the downfall of gods and the rise of shadows that threatens to consume the entire kingdom.

To protect his sister and free himself from the system’s chains, Ryuu must walk a bloodstained path, balancing the line between hero and monster. Yet in a world ruled by darkness, can he hold on to his humanity, or will the shadow claim him entirely?
