Shadow Slave Shards

In the world of Tenebrous, where darkness births monsters and shadows hold secrets, Kael emerges as an unlikely protagonist. Once a promising E-class hunter, his life was shattered when his clan was massacred and he was framed for their murder. Now branded as a traitor by the Hunter's Guild, Kael survives in the shadows, driven solely by his quest for revenge against those who destroyed everything he held dear. A mysterious awakening triggers the activation of a hidden system, marking Kael as its chosen vessel. This ancient power recognizes his rare Shadow Affinity – a trait occurring in perhaps one hunter in ten thousand – and sets him on a path toward unimaginable strength. As he navigates this new reality, Kael discovers he can manipulate darkness itself, moving unseen and striking from the very shadows. The story follows Kael's journey through a complex world where hunters are ranked from F-class novices to the legendary SSS-class masters who can reshape reality. Within this hierarchy, Kael must navigate treacherous political landscapes, forge unexpected alliances, and confront ancient mysteries while pursuing his vengeance. His path becomes intertwined with powerful forces – including enigmatic figures who seem to understand more about his destiny than they reveal. Through trials and tribulations, Kael evolves from a hunted traitor into something far more formidable. Each challenge pushes him closer to his goal of revenge, but also reveals deeper truths about Tenebrous and his place within it. As he rises through the ranks, he must confront whether his pursuit of vengeance will consume him entirely, or if he can forge a different path – one that balances his desire for justice with the weight of his growing power. Will Kael remain forever bound to the shadows of his past, or will he emerge as something greater – a force capable of reshaping the very fabric of Tenebrous?

Art by.. Me :) Updates: Wednesday, Saturday - at least I'm trying I am currently releasing this story on scribblehub.com and royalroad.com. Transported to another world (isekai), somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but not too much.

Yet, you can expect fights, monsters, beasts, and enemies from the ranks of humans, but not OP MC - she will have to get there. The story I wrote after I found the courage to do so. I don't want to discourage you, but I say in advance that English is my second language, and that can be reflected in grammar. I'm doing my best, so please be lenient. :)
