One With The Shadows

SHADOWS BENEATH THE CROWN

Evelyn Chase has never been the type to back down. Cold, calculating, and unapologetically ruthless, she’s earned her place at the helm of Chase Enterprises after her father’s brutal murder. But her ascension to power isn’t without its challenges. Enemies circle like vultures, secrets lurk in the shadows, and whispers of her father’s involvement in a dark underworld refuse to fade. In a world where trust is a luxury, Evelyn is determined to uncover the truth—no matter the cost. Enter Adrian Black, the charming and seemingly unassuming new assistant at Chase Enterprises. Beneath his polished exterior lies a dangerous secret: Adrian is the leader of the country’s most feared mafia syndicate. For years, he’s been fueled by a single purpose—to avenge his parents’ mysterious deaths, which he believes were orchestrated by Evelyn’s father. Posing as her secretary is the perfect way to uncover the truth and bring down the Chase empire from the inside. But Adrian quickly realizes that Evelyn is not the cold-hearted villain he expected. Behind her steely gaze is a woman carrying the weight of grief, betrayal, and an empire that teeters on the edge of collapse. As he chips away at her icy defenses, Adrian finds himself drawn to her strength, vulnerability, and the fierce determination that mirrors his own. In a world where love is dangerous, betrayal is inevitable, and loyalty can cost you everything, Evelyn and Adrian must decide if they’re willing to sacrifice their vendettas—and their hearts—for the chance to take down a common enemy. "Shadows Beneath the Crown" is a gripping tale of passion and peril, where love and revenge collide in a game of power, deceit, and redemption. Can two broken souls find solace in each other, or will the secrets they uncover destroy them both?

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.

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.

Vessel of Shadows

After losing everything, Daron Lamb is consumed by grief and guilt, until he's recruited by the Special Magic Force, an elite unit protecting the balance between magical and non-magical worlds. Together, they uncover a secret organization determined to free the God of Chaos, a force sealed away to protect humanity. As Daron investigates, he uncovers a chilling link between the group and his tragic past. Driven by revenge, he joins forces with his new allies to stop them. But as the truth behind the organization’s motives begins to surface, Daron is forced to confront a disturbing possibility: freeing the God of Chaos, though orchestrated by his enemies, might not bring the destruction he's been led to believe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daron's gaze drifted downward to his chest. Below, the stark contrast of a faint blue light against his white skin caught his eye—a soft glow emanating from his own chest. It softly pulsed, a gentle luminescence that ebbed and flowed with the rhythm of his own heartbeat. Baffled, he just sat there for a few moments, observing. As his fingers touched the source of light, he was surprised to find that everything felt normal, as if it had always been this way. It was like nothing had changed at all. Daron's eyes widened in disbelief when he noticed a strange black liquid seeping into the wounds on his chest—a substance like ink, flowing from within him. It moved with purpose, filling the gaps left by the fat butcher and stanching the flow of blood that had painted his skin red. "By the gods," he gasped, the sight both unsettling and miraculous. The black liquid quickly solidified, forming scars as black as the night sky. His eyes remained fixed on the eerie scene, his breath steadying to a normal rhythm. He was a magician now… it felt strange. He didn't feel particularly different. Sure, a mysterious substance had just mended his broken skin, but other than that, he didn't feel like he could do anything… new, anything special. He stretched out his hand, trying to summon a sharp wind to cut down his shackles. Nothing happened. Next, a flame, to burn down his cell. Nothing happened. “Figures,” he said to himself. “Why would it be easy?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For news and feedback, feel free to join the Vessel of Shadows Discord: https://discord.gg/dmCYCKNwx7
