The Mask Never Slips In a world where morality is blurred, Shiva navigates the dark underbelly of crime while concealing the unbearable weight of his own existence. Emotionally detached yet deeply wounded, he wears a mask of indifference, suppressing a lifetime of trauma that manifests as relentless physical pain. He is a master manipulator, a deceiver, and a survivor—yet, at his core, he is a man consumed by self-disgust. Despite his hatred for himself, three fragile reasons tether him to life: his love for a girl who barely acknowledges him, his unwavering loyalty to the abusive family that broke him, and the little brother he raised to be everything he could never become. If even one of these reasons crumbles, so will he. As he maneuvers through the chaos of the crime world—both a participant and an outsider—Shiva finds himself drawn into a series of brutal conflicts, each forcing him to confront the contradictions within him. He claims to have no desire to kill, yet death follows in his shadow. He yearns to be understood, yet has perfected the art of deception. He wants to feel something—anything—but every emotion is buried beneath years of carefully constructed lies. When the past he’s tried so hard to bury resurfaces, Shiva’s carefully maintained facade begins to crack. Someone close to him is starting to see through the act. And as the weight of his suffering becomes impossible to contain, he is left with one question: Can he keep holding on, or is the mask he wears the only thing keeping him alive?

Masked Menace Synopsis: "Weakest human." That was the title branded onto Arthur, born into the royal bloodline of the strongest human nation — yet cursed with the lowest potential. While others soared through the ranks of mana cultivation, Arthur failed to even awaken his Violet Core, leaving him unable to manifest his innate ability — the very essence of a person's strength. In a world where power defines worth, and weakness is a death sentence, Arthur’s life was a tragedy from the start. In the cold, calculating halls of the royal court, love is conditional, and failure is fatal. His noble lineage offered no protection — only more sharpened daggers at his back. But fate is a twisted force. When Arthur is cast aside, humiliated, and left to rot in the shadows, something awakens within him — something that should not exist. Beneath the mask of a failure lies a menace the world isn’t ready for. Forgotten by blood, betrayed by power, Arthur will rise… not as a prince, but as a predator. The world mocked his weakness. Now it will tremble before the Masked Menace.
