Shadow Sovereign: Awakening

As the Nightmare Warlord's body dissolved into darkness, the dungeon fell eerily silent. Katsumi tightened his grip on his sword, his violet eyes scanning the battlefield. Something was wrong. The shadows around him trembled, as if alive, whispering in voices he couldn't understand.

Then, the ground beneath him cracked. A vortex of pure darkness spiraled open, pulling him in with an unstoppable force. Katsumi struggled, digging his blade into the stone floor, but the abyss was relentless. "Damn it!" he cursed as he lost his grip, swallowed by the void.

Darkness engulfed him. Time lost meaning as he fell, his body weightless in the void. Then, a voice echoed—a deep, chilling tone that sent shivers down his spine. "You have proven yourself… but are you ready to claim the throne of shadows?" Katsumi's heart pounded. He wasn't just fighting monsters anymore—he was stepping into something far more dangerous.
