"Darkness users are only good for sneaking around as assassins? Only good for lurking in the corners as scouts?"

"Add points, evolve to invincibility, and reforge the glory of the Darkness Department!"

Alex Whitefield transmigrates to a high-martial world where everyone awakens superpowers. 

He starts with an S-Rank Darkness Ability, only to be told it's weak compared to Ice, Li
ghtning, and Fire abilities of the same rank?
Alex just grins and binds the [Slaughter System].

Kill beasts. Get Slaughter Points. Upgrade everything.

With one command: "Arise, Shadow Legion!"

Ten thousand shadows submit!
"I am the Shadow!"

Facing the Three-Year Pact made with the cold and aloof School Beauty, Elara Vance, he directly summons his Companion S-Rank Spirit Weapon—the [Death Scythe]—and becomes a god in a single battle!

Consume 100,000 Slaughter Points:

 Evolve S-Rank [Shadow Monarch] to SS-Rank [Evernight Monarch]. With a single thought, eternal night descends!

[Consume 1,000,000 Slaughter Points: Evolve SS-Rank Ability to SSS-Rank [God of Shadows]!

With one command: "River of Darkness!" Time itself freezes for me!

The Space-Time Demon Scythe severs the void! Where there is a shadow, there is Alex!
Not only that, but his Companion Spirit Weapon can also be upgraded with points, evolving all the way from an S-Rank weapon to an SSS-Rank World-Ender!

From then on, only the legend of Alex, the man sitting upon the Throne of Shadows, remained in this world.

The Cold School Beauty, Elara Vance: "I regret it. If I had known earlier, I should have claimed Alex when he was three years old..."

A Peerless Prodigy: "If you don't cultivate, seeing Alex is like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the moon. But if you do cultivate... seeing Alex is like a tiny ant gazing up at the vast blue sky!"

'Magical scenes here at the Eden Gardens! They've done it! Mumbai U19 are your Cooch Behar Trophy Champions! None would've guessed this ending after the first innings collapse.


They came, they saw it through, and now they reap the rewards for their hard work. A historic double for Mumbai cricket!'


Aryan collapsed on the turf, his limbs heavy as lead. He had exhausted himself completely in this four-day match.


The final between Mumbai U19 and Tamil Nadu U19 had ended in a thrilling 3-wicket win for Mumbai on the final day.


Winning the Vinoo Mankad Trophy (One Day) last season had qualified them for the Elite Group A of the Cooch Behar Trophy (Multi-day format).


They entered the tournament with skepticism as their group was branded the "Group of Death". They had drawn the likes of Delhi U19, Punjab U19, and Hyderabad U19.


The format was brutal; only the top team from the group would qualify directly for the semi-finals.
