"Light chooses heroes…
But shadows choose kings."
Chapter 1: The Dream of Shadows
Nash was just a normal school boy—but his mind was anything but normal.
While others talked about sports or exams, Nash was obsessed with stories of superheroes—especially those who wielded shadow powers. To him, shadows weren't darkness… they were limitless.
"What if I got reincarnated into a world like that?" he would always wonder.
On the day of his school graduation, that thought became his last.
A blinding light.A loud crash.
And everything went black.
Chapter 2: A Powerless Beginning
When Nash opened his eyes, he wasn't in a hospital.
He was in another world.
A world of heroes.
"This is it…" Nash smiled. "I'm finally here."
But that excitement didn't last long.
The body he woke up in belonged to a boy named Mike… and Mike had no powers.
In this world, strength was everything. People were ranked from E to S—and only nine S-Rank heroes existed.
Nash… was nothing.
Frustrated, he sat beside a quiet lake under the night sky.
That's when a strange man appeared.
"A person is never powerless," the man said. "You just need to fight for it."
Before Nash could ask anything—he vanished.
Chapter 3: The Black Cloud
That night, as Nash walked home, something strange happened.
A black cloud rose from the lake.
It felt alive.
Before Nash could react, it pulled him in.
Inside the darkness, a figure appeared—covered in shadows.
"Do you desire power?" it asked.
"Yes."
"Do you want to become strong?"
"Yes!"
The figure smiled.
"If you can fight for it… I will give you the power of The Shadows."
Chapter 4: The Contract
"What's the price?" Nash asked.
"Become the No.1 Hero."
Nash froze. "That's it?"
The shadow figure nodded.
"And your power… will depend on your imagination."
Suddenly, pain consumed Nash.
His body felt like it was melting.
"Will you survive… or disappear like the others?" the voice echoed.
Darkness swallowed him.
Chapter 5: Awakening
Nash woke up in complete darkness.
Something was changing inside him.
The shadows weren't outside anymore—they were inside him.
The pain was unbearable… but he endured it.
When he finally opened his eyes, the shadow figure was smiling.
"You survived."
Nash clenched his fist.
For the first time…
He felt power.
Chapter 6: The First Ability
The shadow figure began teaching him.
"Your power grows with your thoughts."
Nash focused.
A small shadow moved.
Then it formed into a blade.
"A Shadow Blade…" Nash whispered.
It wasn't strong—but it was his.
Chapter 7: Return to the World
Nash returned to the real world.
Everything looked the same…
But he wasn't.
He tested his power—creating shadows from nothing.
But controlling them was difficult.
"I need to get stronger…"
Chapter 8: The Hero Academy
Nash learned about a place where heroes were trained—the Hero Academy.
"If I want to become No.1… I need to start there."
He applied.
But since he had no registered power…
He was placed in the lowest class.
Everyone looked down on him.
Nash didn't care.
"They don't know yet…"
Chapter 9: The First Battle
During training, students had to fight.
Nash's opponent laughed.
"You? Powerless?"
Nash stayed calm.
"Let's see…"
As the match started, shadows gathered beneath his feet.
In one second—
A blade appeared.
The opponent froze.
"What… is that?"
Chapter 10: Rise of Shadows
Nash moved faster than anyone expected.
One strike.
The match ended.
Silence filled the arena.
"Who is he…?" students whispered.
Nash looked at his hand.
"This is just the beginning."
Deep inside, the shadows whispered back—
Grow stronger…
