Trong một thế giới mà bản chất được dệt nên từ vô vàn tầng lớp của những ràng buộc vô hình, nơi từng phân tử hiện hữu đều bị khắc ghi bởi định luật của sự trói buộc và mỗi linh hồn đều là con rối bị điều phối bởi chuỗi xích vô tận của nguyên lý. Và trong chính sự điên cuồng ấy, một phản nghịch đã nảy sinh...Từ phản nghịch đó, đứa con của tự do đã ra đời, không phải như một sinh vật, mà như một dị điểm của toàn thể. Lumine là một mầm mống không thuộc về trật tự, một tồn tại gào thét giữa vòm trời bất động, một biểu tượng sống của khước từ mọi gông cùm đã khai sinh ra khát vọng tuyệt đối, hủy diệt mọi ràng buộc. Không phải bằng thù hận, mà bằng chính cơn đói triệt để với tự do tuyệt đối, Lumine và kẻ song hành đã thách thức thực tại, một thực tại vốn là mê cung bất khả phản kháng được dựng nên bởi những kẻ mang danh Thần, những kẻ không tạo ra thế giới mà lại chiếm hữu nó bằng thứ quyền lực mượn danh ý chí. Thế nhưng, ngay khi bàn tay họ tưởng đã chạm đến thứ ánh sáng rực rỡ nơi cuối đường hầm, cái ánh sáng mà họ nghĩ là sự giải thoát thì chính vòm trời ấy sụp đổ, và thực tại cười khẩy bằng tiếng cười của vô số bánh răng vận mệnh gãy vụn. Họ không bị đánh bại bởi kẻ thù, mà bởi chính quy luật đã thối rữa của cái thế giới họ muốn phá tan, nơi mọi hành động dù nhỏ bé nhất cũng bị tính trước trong một ma trận tuyệt đối của hệ quả. Đắng cay thay, cái chân lý mà họ đuổi bắt, cái chân lý trần truồng, tinh khôi và thuần khiết nhất... tự do lại nằm ngay trước mắt họ, song bị che khuất bởi sự tồn tại của một điều không nên tồn tại...Và chính vì thế, sự tồn tại của hắn không thể được dung thứ. Không phải bởi vì đạo lý, mà bởi vì hắn là dấu chấm hết của mọi diễn ngôn. Kẻ đó không nên tồn tại. Không phải bởi vì hắn sai, mà bởi vì hắn là thứ thuần túy, một lỗ hổng mang hình người trong thân thể của một thế giới đang hấp hối vì chính những gì hắn cho phép tồn tại.

In a world where every being is born with a personal system interface, strength is not a gift — it is cultivated, absorbed, stolen, or earned through death. This fractured world is divided into countless realms of power, where humans, demi-humans, elves, dragons, devils, demons, celestials, and even gods compete, ascend, or fall. The Dark Flame bloodline once stood at the peak of this world — a cursed lineage born with the ability to consume elements, powers, and even fate itself. Fearing the rise of the prophesied “Shadow Reaper,” the celestial order destroys the last of the Dark Flame family. But in their final moments, Lord Azrael and Lady Seraphina split their newborn twins to protect them — the boy, Kael, is cast into the lowest realm, his memories sealed and bloodline hidden beneath an ancient locket. His twin sister, Lyra, is raised unknowingly within the very celestial towers that ordered their family’s execution. As Kael grows up in hardship, hunted by monsters and raised by mortals, his dormant power begins to awaken — granting him a path of limitless devouring and mastery over all weapons, especially his destined scythe. With the mysterious support of Selene Frost, a ruthless, cold-hearted girl who becomes both his partner and soulmate, Kael begins the climb through realms — one monster core, one battle, one bloodline at a time. Legacy of the Shadow Reaper is a slow-paced, character-driven epic told through multiple POVs, combining deep lore, evolving system mechanics, layered relationships, and a carefully planned rise from the bottom to challenge gods. At its heart, it is a story of revenge, lost family, and the weight of destiny .
