The Rise of Shadow Demon

Kamike_Art
Without warning, creatures—goblins, ogres, orcs, and even dragons—emerged across the globe. Entire cities fell overnight. Governments united and fought back with everything they had, eventually forcing the monsters away from major population centers. But victory came at a cost. Vast regions of the world were lost and turned into forbidden territories where beasts roam freely. During the chaos, some humans gained mana and developed supernatural abilities. These individuals became humanity’s greatest weapons. The strongest were recruited as Awaken Contractors, government-backed hunters celebrated as heroes and celebrities. He is an underpaid salaryman living a miserable life. Thin, pale, and constantly exhausted, he survives on cheap meals and endless overtime while enduring daily humiliation from his superiors. Jaded by a world that rewards the powerful and crushes the weak, he expects nothing from life except disappointment. He gained a forbidden power known as Shadow Demon—an ability that allows him to command supernatural forces from the darkness itself. Unlike the celebrated heroes. He is cynical, pragmatic, and willing to cheat if it means living another day, he begins to grow stronger with every battle. But the deeper he descends into the power of the shadows, the more something stir within him, a demon. In a world ruled by monsters and heroes, one overlooked salaryman may rise from the darkness

The Dragons and their allies waged war against the Eldan empire, leading to the third galactic war. The Eldans were defeated, and spared from extinction by being exiled to the continent of Helleny in their birth planet of Depheron. They were forbidden from ever appearing in the galaxy again. Thousands of years have passed since then, and an Eldan has risen to defy the order of the Dragons and their endorsed rulers of the Galaxy. But to stand against the might of the new galactic empire and the more powerful Dragons would require more than mere determination or a large army. It would also require the even more difficult and mythically impossible breakthrough to the unknown realm of Supreme Overlord which the Primordial Luminary attained countless eras past...
