The sky split apart. A swirling vortex of darkness erupted above the city, tendrils of shadow lashing out like living nightmares. The world seemed to hold its breath. People froze, their eyes locked onto the abyss forming above them. Then, the silence shattered.
A monstrous shadow emerged, its form shifting, twisting—a thing of pure terror. A collective scream rang through the streets as chaos erupted. People ran, stumbling over one another, desperate to escape. Streetlights flickered. Cars screeched to a halt. And then, the first attack came.
The shadow struck, tearing through buildings, its inky form seeping into the very fabric of reality. And in that moment, a single figure stepped forward against the darkness.
Jinhoo Park.
A B-Rank Hunter of the Black Warrior Guild, his blade gleamed in the dim light, a contrast to the abyssal entity before him. He narrowed his eyes, his heartbeat steady as he took a stance. "Let's end this."
The shadow lunged. Jinhoo moved.
Steel met darkness in a clash that sent shockwaves through the air. His blade sliced clean through, splitting the creature in two—but it reformed instantly, tendrils shooting out, wrapping around him like unbreakable chains. Pain exploded in his ribs as the shadow tightened its grip. His breath hitched. Bones creaked.
He was losing.
But he refused to die here.
A flicker of something awakened within him—darkness, but not the enemy's. His own. Power surged through his veins, and in a single breath, he unleashed it.
Shadow Kill.
A burst of black energy pulsed from his body, consuming the shadow from within. The creature let out an unearthly shriek as it was erased from existence, leaving only silence behind.
Jinhoo collapsed, the world around him fading. As his vision blurred, he saw a figure rushing toward him. Nami Kun. Then, everything went dark.
---
When he opened his eyes, he was home.
Jinhoo groaned, pushing himself upright. Every muscle in his body ached. He barely had time to process his survival when a sharp knock echoed through his apartment.
He forced himself to his feet and opened the door.
Nami Kun stood there, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. "What are you doing here?" Jinhoo muttered.
"I told you, I came for an important discussion." Nami stepped inside. His next words sent a chill down Jinhoo's spine. "It's about the portal."
Jinhoo frowned. "I killed that shadow. It's over."
"No," Nami said grimly. "It's just beginning."
Before Jinhoo could react, his phone rang. He answered—only to hear pure horror on the other end.
"Emergency! A school is under attack! Shadows—help! AHHH!" The line cut out.
Jinhoo's blood ran cold.
"Let's move." Nami turned, but Jinhoo was already gone.
A new sensation flooded Jinhoo as he reappeared at the school's entrance. The shadows writhed before him, clawing at students, devouring light itself. He stared at his own hands. Shadow Travel. A new ability. Another piece of the puzzle.
But there was no time to question it. He charged forward, blade flashing. The battle raged, shadows overwhelming him, dragging him down. He was losing again.
And then—
A shape rose from the darkness.
A figure he had already killed. The first shadow he had ever slain. But now, it knelt before him, speaking a single word:
"King."
Jinhoo's breath caught. Power surged. Shadows bent to his will. He raised his sword, and this time, he was unstoppable. Shadow Kill. The battlefield erupted in a wave of black energy, erasing every last enemy in sight.
And yet, as the dust settled, a single thought burned in his mind:
What am I becoming?

Next Arc: Shadow Castle
Jinhoo's powers are growing, but so are his questions. He begins his search for the truth, only to uncover a horrifying secret: the shadows are not just monsters. They were once warriors—fallen heroes from an ancient war.
And the one they call the Shadow King—the being Jinhoo is starting to resemble—was at the heart of it all. Could Jinhoo be his reincarnation? Or something even more dangerous?
As Jinhoo wrestles with his identity, a floating castle emerges from another portal, shrouding the city in darkness. Ancient creatures stir within, their awakening threatening humanity's survival.
An S-Rank hunter from a rival guild warns Jinhoo: if the castle is not destroyed, the world will fall.
Inside the castle, Jinhoo encounters the Shadow Lord, a warrior of pure darkness. The truth he reveals shakes Jinhoo to his core.
"You were meant to take my place. To embrace the darkness. Or be consumed by it."
But embracing the shadows means risking his humanity. And once he crosses that line, there may be no turning back.
Meanwhile, Nami Kun, despite being an E-Rank, discovers an artifact allowing him to control shadows. His power is unlike any hunter before him, proving that true strength isn't measured by rank.
But betrayal lurks in the shadows. A trusted ally turns against them, forging a deadly pact. The final battle inside the castle will pit hunters against both monsters and their own kind.
And in the chaos, Jinhoo unlocks his ultimate transformation—Shadow King Form.
Victory seems near. But then, Jinhoo sees it.
A vision of something greater. Something darker. Another portal is already opening…
The battle is far from over.
To be continued in the next arc: Shadow King Awakening...
