Lord Shadow

Princess Nadia, slave to Sir Rallian, is growing impatient. Even with powerful people such as the Imperial Advisor, Lord Polaris, and Marchioness Ivanna of Aramycius trying to free her, she has spent years as a slave. And now that Noelle is an empire ruled by the conniving and manipulative Empress Ariana, freedom seems hopeless. To make matters worse, Rallian knows Naida is a mermaid, Ariana doesn't take Polaris seriously, and Ivanna is losing her influence on the public. Slowly but surely, the prophecy Polaris had recognized years ago in the Royal Dream no longer appears relevant. This is only substantiated when Rein Bow begins to have her own prophetic dreams again, which seem to contradict the Royal Dream. Nevertheless, Polaris and Ivanna are devoted to freeing Nadia without her having to fight for it in the Annual Slave Arena. But as oppression weighs heavier on Nadia's shoulders, she begins to slip through their fingers, leaning toward signing up against their advice to wait. Will Polaris and Ivanna be able to keep Nadia from signing up for the Annual Slave Arena before they can free her? Will they even be able to free her without her fighting in the arena?

It was just another day at my high school until an accidental encounter led to the demise of the Demon Lord. Yes, I'm responsible for that. Now, I find myself bound to him, burdened with an outrageous task that only a madman would consider.

Ever since I acquired the powers of the Demon Lord, my head carries a substantial bounty, making me the target of countless Hunters worldwide. To add to the chaos, there are other mysterious parties pursuing me, particularly their enigmatic leader who seems to have information about my Dad's disappearance. My name is Jin Wrack, and at the mere age of 17, I bear an immense responsibility. This ordeal will unfold as a battle royale, or rather, a 'Hunters Royale,' pitting me and my allies against the rest of the world. The outcome is uncertain. Will I emerge victorious, or will the combined might of my enemies overwhelm me? Only time holds the answer. ............................................................................
