Mercenary Enrollment Light

Betrayal was shattered and discarded like trash into the depths of a ravine. Xavier Aristhos rose from death through a blood contract with the demon Morax. He returned to New York not to claim his inheritance, but to demand lives, with hell's power throbbing in his veins. By day, he was the elegant CEO of Umbra Capital, dominating Wall Street with icy precision. But by night, he was the Supreme Demon, harvesting the souls of sinners. Without mercy, Xavier dismantled the Aristhos dynasty from within, forcing his stepmother and stepbrother to crawl and beg for forgiveness before dragging their filthy souls into the grave. To protect Livia, the only light remaining to him, Xavier willingly cast aside his humanity. He became a lonely guardian god lurking in the shadows of New York's glass towers. He would not stop until all his enemies knelt and felt the sting of the betrayal he had endured. "Your style may be elite, but before me, your soul is nothing but cheap trash."

What is a shadow? The scientific version would probably go something like, "absence of light cast by an object." Well it isn't. A shadow is a commodity no currency can buy, and those who have it, are immortal, gods of prowess and power, and rule the world as Lords of Shadow. Loki wasn't born with a shadow, he was born in the hands of an insane woman and had to watch his brother die to the madness. But years later, on a military trip to fix a drilling rig– as a handyman by the way– he encounters the worst thing he could. A shadowed beast slaughters through their convoy on ATVs, and right before he dies, he falls into the beast's shadow, and absorbs it! Crazy? But it goes further. The shadow manifests as that of a bee for him, and he has to level it up to other animals and things by going through extreme sensations of pain, hunting others, and killing what cannot be killed. All for what? To reshape the world, vanquish all lords of Shadow, and become the next and final one himself!

Others are sealed because someone is still afraid of what they contain.
