In The Shadows' Burden: The one Who Bears All, the story follows Umbra, an enigmatic and immensely powerful god known for his boundless love and unshakable will. As the strongest among the gods, Umbra stands apart, choosing not to wield his power for harm, which earns him the deep love and loyalty of the people. This adoration, combined with the unwavering support of the Shadows—his devoted followers—fuels the envy and resentment of other gods who feel threatened by his unbreakable will. Unable to tarnish Umbra's character directly, these jealous gods conspire to alter time itself, manipulating both past and future events to rewrite the truth of who Umbra truly is. They influence the very narration of his story, casting doubt on what is real and what is fabricated. As part of their scheme, they force Umbra into a relentless cycle of reincarnation, subjecting him to endless forms of suffering before each rebirth. Each life brings its own torment, compelling him to bear the weight of existence in all its forms. As we travel through Umbra's lives with him, we will encounter an array of overpowered characters, each with their own unique abilities and motivations. The veil of deception slowly lifts, revealing hidden truths and a complex past shaped by betrayal, love, and resilience. Ultimately, The Shadows' Burden becomes a powerful exploration of faith, truth, and the relentless pursuit of self-discovery amid a universe determined to hide it.
