Beyond The Shadows The Making Of Shadowhunters

" The Brace of Shadows"

In a shattered world consumed by decay and nature, Alex woke up in a mysterious room with no memory of how he got there, surrounded by an eerie silence and the desolation of an apocalyptic cityscape. As he pieces together his situation, he encounters grotesque, mutated creatures that hunt by sound, pushing him into a desperate struggle for survival. Armed with only his instincts, some people who will meet during his fight for survival, and a mysterious bracelet that grants him temporary enhancements like agility, strength, and dexterity, Alex must navigate the ruins of humanity while uncovering the secrets of his strange new abilities. The bracelet becomes both his lifeline, curse, and mystery, offering him tools to survive the relentless pursuit of horrors in the shadows but raising questions about its origin and purpose. In his fight for survival, Alex faces treacherous environments, zombie hordes, and his own fear as he journeys toward a rumored "safe zone." Yet, even safety proves fleeting in this unforgiving world, where survival demands resilience, quick thinking, and a willingness to confront the darkness within and without. As Alex pushes forward, scavenging for food, evading death at every turn, and uncovering the faintest hints of hope, he learns that he is not just trying to stay alive he is being hunted. Each encounter and every step forward reveals that the world may hold more mysteries than answers, and the truth behind his bracelet might be the key to his survival or his doom. With the shadows of the past haunting his every step and the future uncertain, Alex embarks on a harrowing journey to find answers, safety, and perhaps redemption in a world where hope is the rarest resource of all.

Have some trust and read the book :3 ***** Lionheart... The bloodline of the once most powerful clan of knights, a lineage so formidable that even gods fought for their loyalty. But over time, the bloodline diluted, its strength waning with each generation. The Lionhearts, once revered as paragons of might, faded into obscurity, becoming nothing more than a relic of the past. Eventually, they fell so low that they joined the ranks of beggars, a shadow of their former glory. Amidst this desperate struggle to survive, only one child of the Lionhearts remained alive... Davey Lionheart, a frail nine-year-old boy forced to beg on the streets but carrying a heart of kindness and purity. One miraculous day, after 7,000 long years, the pure bloodline of the Lionhearts awakened within Davey. The power of his ancestors, thought to have been lost forever, burned brightly once more. This awakening caught the attention of Aria, the Goddess of Light, who had once protected the Lionhearts. Aria tasked Davey with a divine mission... to slay the demon lord destined to plunge the world into chaos. With the blessings of the strongest goddess and the might of his awakened bloodline, Davey rose to the top of the world. By the age of 19, he had become the youngest and most powerful knight in history. His kindness was boundless... he devoted himself to helping others, spreading the name of Aria, and claiming nothing for himself. But this kindness became the seed of his downfall. In the climactic battle against the demon lord, Davey triumphed but at the cost of his right arm... It was a sacrifice he made to save his comrades. To a knight, the loss of their sword arm was equal to losing everything. Davey, the world’s greatest hero, was now powerless. And the world only worshipped the strong. Those he once saved... the comrades he protected, the woman he loved, and the commoners he gave everything for... turned on him. Even the goddess he had worshipped and sacrificed for scorned him. Betrayed and abandoned, Davey wandered the world for four long years as the fallen knight, enduring ridicule and humiliation. His end came in the most gruesome way. Betrayed by those he had once saved, his limbs were severed, and he was left to be devoured alive by wild beasts. Even in his final moments, Davey prayed to Aria, hoping the goddess would extend a hand of mercy. But his prayers fell on deaf ears. In his last breath, betrayed by the people he cherished and the goddess he worshipped, Davey’s soul burned with rage. The knight who once lived to save... now desired only to kill. But karma is impartial. It represents the Balance of everything after all. Fate intervened, granting Davey a second chance. In the void between life and death, he was given a choice... - Join the Divines. - Embrace the Demons. Loathing the gods and the people who betrayed him, Davey chose the demons, vowing to destroy everything he once served. But to his surprise, he woke up in a completely different world where qi cultivation and longevity reigned supreme. A strange, eerie energy lingered in the air. Hovering before him was a peculiar, glowing window with letters slowly forming... [Connecting to the host...] But he who had been betrayed once by everything he held dear did not trust anyone... not even in the face of death. Davey refused the system’s help, instead, chose to pursue invincibility with his own strength. Seeing this, a certain entity smiled, and another window appeared... [The System will not appear unless the host calls for it with all his heart.] ***** 2 chapters everyday!

"You can outrun many things, but fate will always find you, like your shadow in the light." . In the heart of Washington D.C., mafia heir Vaughn Volkov is on a mission that takes him far from the sun-soaked streets of California. The bustling city, with its imposing monuments and corridors of power, is a far cry from the palm-lined avenues of his home. Vaughn, however, is not one to be easily intimidated. His piercing blue eyes and commanding presence turn heads wherever he goes, a reminder that beneath his polished exterior lies a man accustomed to danger and control. Vaughn's path crosses with Eliza Monroe, a seemingly innocent college student whose gentle demeanor masks a resilience forged from her own turbulent past. Eliza, with her kind heart and determined spirit, is an enigma. She spends her days buried in books at the library, her nights working part-time to make ends meet. Her brown eyes, often hidden behind a cascade of dark curls, hold a depth that Vaughn finds both intriguing and unsettling. Their first encounter is anything but ordinary. Vaughn watches, intrigued by her fearlessness and the fire in her eyes. "You're not like the others," he remarks later, cornering her in the quiet corner of the library. His voice is a low, dangerous purr that sends shivers down Eliza's spine. "And you're not just the student here," she retorts, meeting his gaze with a mixture of curiosity and caution. "What do you want from me?" Vaughn's lips curve into a slow, dangerous smile. "Maybe I just want to get to know you." Despite her reservations, Eliza feels a strange pull towards Vaughn. His presence is intoxicating, a blend of danger and allure that she finds hard to resist. As they spend more time together, Eliza begins to see glimpses of the man beneath the mafia heir. Vaughn, too, finds himself drawn to Eliza in ways he never anticipated. Her kindness, her strength, and her unyielding spirit ignite something within him that he thought long buried. Yet, as their connection deepens, the shadows of their pasts loom ever larger. Vaughn's family business, shrouded in crime and violence, is never far from his mind. His enemies are ruthless, and his association with Eliza puts her squarely in their crosshairs. Eliza, too, harbors secrets. The dark forces that have shaped her life threaten to consume her, and Vaughn's world only amplifies those dangers. As their worlds collide, they must navigate a treacherous web of intrigue, passion, and forbidden desire.
