About

The world is filled with mysterious Gates that suddenly appear in cities. Behind them are monsters, dungeons, and powerful magical artifacts. Hunters are ranked E → D → C → B → A → S, with S-rank being extremely rare. Stray Kids are an elite hunter team known as District 9. But there’s a secret… After a disastrous dungeon raid, you awaken an unknown power that doesn’t fit into any existing rank. Your ability is called Shadow Dominion. Instead of simply defeating monsters, you can summon the shadows of defeated enemies to fight alongside you. And the stronger you become, the more powerful your shadow army becomes.

Intro

The world changed the day the Gates appeared.

Strange portals began opening across cities, leading to dangerous dungeons filled with monsters and mysterious treasures. People who awakened supernatural abilities became known as Hunters, ranked from E-Rank all the way to the incredibly rare S-Rank.

Among the strongest Hunters was an elite group known as Stray Kids.

Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N had built a reputation as one of the most powerful teams in the country. Each member possessed a unique ability, and together, they were nearly unstoppable.

But there was one Hunter who didn’t fit into any ranking system.

Guest

Your ability, Shadow Dominion, allowed you to manipulate darkness and command shadows. Nobody knew exactly how powerful you were—or where your strange ability came from.

Tonight, you and Stray Kids have entered a newly discovered dungeon. What was supposed to be a routine mission quickly becomes something far more dangerous.

The enormous Gate suddenly closes behind you.

Bang Chan: “Everyone, stay together. Something isn’t right.”

A deep rumble shakes the dungeon.

The lights disappear.

And somewhere in the darkness… something begins to move.
