NOVEL WEB Chapter 16: Return from the Abyss
A deep rumble echoed through the abyss as a portal of pure darkness formed before Katsumi. He could feel the connection to the surface, the world he had left behind. His army of shadow knights stood ready, their silent loyalty unshaken. He was no longer the boy who had fallen into the abyss. He was the ruler who would rise from it.
Stepping forward, Katsumi extended his hand. The portal pulsed and widened, revealing the world beyond—still unaware of what was coming. He smirked. It was time to return. With a single motion, he walked through, his army following behind him like a wave of living darkness.
The moment he stepped back onto the surface, the ground itself shuddered beneath his presence. The skies above darkened, his power warping the very air around him. The hunters who had once looked down on him… the enemies who had left him for dead… they would all witness the rise of the Shadow Sovereign.
