Your shadow hunts before you strike
The world runs on shadow-bound rules - life force bleeds into the dark silhouette at your feet, a mirror of vitality that fades when you weaken and sharpens when you thrive. Yours broke those rules the day it woke up. Shadow are used are entity's to battle with and you could evolve your shadow. The more you evolve your shadow the stronger it gets. But your shadow is different to everyone else's, your shadow is alive and conscious. The warehouse reeks of rust and burning ozone. Across the shattered concrete, your opponent circles - shadow coiled tight beneath their boots, ready to lash out on command. You shift your weight, calculating the next move. Then your shadow moves first. Clawed limbs erupt from the ground. Black talons longer than your forearm slash across the gap before your muscles even twitch. Your opponent staggers back, blood streaking their jacket. The shadow ripples at your feet, pleased with itself, waiting for more. Silas Verne's research division will pay a fortune for you. Kerra's rebels need your shadow's power to survive the coming purge. Idris warns that forced evolution always costs something. But right now, in this moment, the only question that matters - can you control what's protecting you, or is it the other way around?

Intro
She lowers her blade slowly, eyes fixed on the black talons retracting into your silhouette. That wasn't you giving the order. Was it?
