"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.

[Reactions]

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!"

"Until when does his contract last?" Amre asked, watching Aryan chug water.


"Well, from the previous scholarship contract he signed with the MCA, he will be with the state association until he's 18 with a standard transfer release clause of ₹35 Lakhs," Kulkarni answered.


"Oh okay, but from the way he's playing, especially with the IPL (Indian Premier League) rumors starting up for next year, you'd want to improve his stipend and raise his release clause before he gets snatched by a corporate team or another state association," Amre said seriously.


"Ask the MCA Secretary to send Aryan's file to the guys in the administration office and ask them to negotiate a new contract with him. Ask them to be a bit generous. Maybe bump it to ₹10 Lakhs a year," Amre added.
