Shadow Sovereign: The Abyssal Descent

In the stillness before the storm, she was a masterpiece of cold elegance. Riha was the perfect tool. As the "Shadow Lord" of the Shadow Vile, she moved through the darkness to protect a family that treated her like a ghost. She expected a life of service; she didn't expect the daggers in her back. Betrayed by her own blood and left to drown in the silver depths of the Star-Glow Lake, Riha’s life didn't just flash before her eyes—it shattered. But as she sank into the crushing darkness, the Abyss didn't take her soul. It recognized its ruler. They wanted a sacrificial lamb to die in the dark. Instead, they birthed a Sovereign who would command it. "The stars witnessed my fall. Now, the world will tremble at my return."

As time passed, heroes began to arise as their power, achievements and courage for placing their lives on the line to save the innocent inspired many as those with an Aspect dreamed of becoming a symbol of peace for our world. I, Rai Shinsei, was one of them as I would hear many stories of heroes from the townsfolk, although, the source of my inspiration was from my two loving parents, who were idolized by the townsfolk as their strength and kindness left me captivated, but despite my dreams, fate had a different future in store for me as tragedy soon occurred, changing my life forever. On my sixth birthday, I witnessed a catastrophe. My once tranquil hometown, which housed kind hearted souls was ravaged by none other than a hero, whose destruction knew no bounds as any structure within his sight was obliterated while every being within my hometown was mercilessly slaughtered. The screams and cries of those I once knew left me in a trepidatious state, but my nightmare was far from over as the remaining survivors was none other than my parents, who were forced to say their goodbyes as the hero killed them right before my eyes, sparing only me and on that day, I was never interested in becoming a hero anymore. Selling my soul to vengeance, I made a vow. To destroy the Hero Association. Although, everything changed once I was forced to enroll into a place I would have never imagined. A Hero Academy.
