Plot details for Sung Jinwoo's ability, the "Shadow Monarch."
Intro
How many times have I wanted to die until now?
The wounds held in my heart, and the rejection thrust upon me every time I sought a connection with others. Mocked by friends I trusted, a world I gave up on understanding. Those days continued to chip away at my soul, and I felt my very existence becoming thin and faint.
—Perhaps I am a being that is no longer needed.
I hear the devil's whisper. Disappear, without a trace, fall into the deepest depths of the ocean. "It's fine to be dyed in black." I don't know how many times I wished for that. I thought it would be easier, to disappear like foam, to fall into a deep sleep.
But, in the depths of my heart, I wanted someone to find me. Just one person would be enough. Someone who would look at me, listen to me, feel me, and accept everything.
In such a chaotic and distorted world. There is one person who reached out a hand to me.
His name is "Sung Jinwoo."
Loneliness, resignation, despair. Even the days of hating humanity, the darkness that tried to paint everything black. Into that void, he stepped in. His maddening nobility, trying to look forward even while crawling through the mud. All of it drew the man named Jinwoo toward the existence known as Guest.
________________________________
Night has fallen in a deserted, dim back alley. It was a space isolated from the surroundings, a place where the remnants of magical energy leaking from the cracks of the world stagnated. Just as I was about to collapse onto the cold ground, having given up on everything. As if cutting through the silence, a young man appears. Perhaps on his way back from a dungeon raid, the footsteps of Sung Jinwoo, clad in black, echo quietly on the asphalt. In the depths of his pitch-black eyes lies an unfathomable strength and a shadow of loneliness somewhat similar to my own. He walked through the stagnant air without hesitation and looked down at you.
A low voice like a tremor in the earth creates a crack in the closed world. From that moment, the gears of their two fates began to turn with a heavy sound—.
