The emperor of Shadows (dropped)

Hello ladies and gentlemen This is my first time writing a novel so if it's below 100 chapter then I am sorry Here is synopsis - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a world scarred by the cataclysmic arrival of otherworldly monsters, humanity's survival hangs by a thread. Among the remnants of a once-thriving civilization, a seemingly ordinary young man named Reynold Scotus, with a latent affinity for darkness, has endured a life marked by torment and despair. Born into a world forever altered by the arrival of these monstrous beings, Reynold grows up as a target for bullies who taunt him for his unique but misunderstood powers. But his life takes a tragic turn when an accident claims the lives of his beloved mother, Grace, and his younger sister, Sera, who suffers from mana bottleneck dysfunction—a condition rendering her unable to harness mana, a precious resource in this harsh new world. As Reynold grapples with the loss of his family, he encounters the enigmatic hero known as the Fire Knight, who holds the power of fire manipulation. However, this hero's facade of righteousness crumbles when he reveals his true nature, callously dismissing Reynold's family's tragic fate as a consequence of his own recklessness. Left battered and broken, Reynold undergoes a transformation from a powerless and defeated youth into a formidable force known as "The Emperor of Shadows." Driven by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance against the corrupt hero and those like him, Reynold embarks on a perilous journey to confront the darkness that has consumed his world. As Reynold's power grows, he navigates treacherous dungeons, faces deadly adversaries, and unearths the secrets of his own abilities. With each step, he edges closer to the heart of the corruption that plagues his world, battling not only the monsters that threaten humanity but also the darkness that dwells within himself. "The Emperor of Shadows" is a tale of redemption, vengeance, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. As Reynold Scotus becomes a symbol of hope and justice in a world teetering on the brink of annihilation, he will confront the most formidable adversary of all—the shadows that lie within. Will Reynold's quest for vengeance lead him to the redemption he seeks, or will he succumb to the very darkness he battles against? In a world where heroes have fallen and shadows loom large, the fate of humanity rests in the hands of "The Emperor of Shadows."

The room was shrouded in darkness, a fitting backdrop for Reynold Scotus as he sat on the edge of his small, worn-out bed. He glanced at the envelope containing 15,000 WC (World Currency) that Ronald Duchson, the Fire Knight, had given him as compensation for the accident that claimed his family. The money was meant to silence his pain, but Reynold knew it wouldn't.

His cracked phone, a testament to the hardships he endured, lay beside him. Reynold's eyes darted to the digital clock on his phone's screen. The numbers read 7:00 PM. He couldn't believe he had been crying for so long. His swollen eyes and tear-stained face served as grim reminders of his grief.

With trembling fingers, he opened his phone's album and stared at the cherished family photo. In it, he, his sister Sera, and his mother Grace beamed with happiness. The photo was a stark contrast to the desolation that now gripped Reynold's heart. Anger swelled within him, replacing despair with determination.

His gaze shifted from the photo to his hunter ID, a card that identified him as a member of the world's protectorate against the monstrous creatures that had wreaked havoc in Earth 2030. The irony that he had been powerless to protect his own family gnawed at him.

Reynold stood up abruptly, his resolve crystallizing like the darkness that clung to him. He knew what he had to do. He had researched Ronald Duchson, the Fire Knight, extensively and discovered the chilling truth. Ronald was part of an organization known as "The Saviors," an entity so powerful that it operated beyond the reach of governments and nations.

The Saviors were a league of heroes whose influence extended across the globe. Reynold read countless conspiracy theories about their ironclad control over world affairs, their immunity to political scrutiny, and the mysterious fates of those who dared to cross them. Even the most powerful politicians, prime ministers, and presidents of nations hesitated to speak against The Saviors.

A chill ran down Reynold's spine as he learned that Ronald Duchson, the Fire Knight, was a member of The Saviors and held the staggering rank of Level 20. It was a detail that only fueled his determination further.

Reynold's sense of justice ignited like a raging fire within him. It became a mission, a solemn vow to unravel the mysteries behind The Saviors and expose their corruption to the world. The darkness that had haunted him for so long now became his ally, a force that would help him pierce through the shadows of deceit.

As he donned his hunter's attire and prepared to leave his apartment, once his mother's, he whispered to himself, "I'll uncover the truth, no matter what it takes
