"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!"

[COMMENTATORS BOX – County Ground, Hove]


"Hello, lovely viewers! We are live from the picturesque County Ground here in Hove, Sussex. The sea breeze is blowing, the seagulls are calling, and I'm delighted to say I'm absolutely thrilled to be bringing you the action today."


"My name is Alan Wilkins, and I'm joined by the voice of Indian cricket, Harsha Bhogle."


"Thank you, Alan. It is indeed a pleasure. It's not every day you get to see the Ranji Trophy champions, Mumbai, facing off against a historic side like Sussex on English soil. It's a clash of cultures, a clash of styles."


"Absolutely, Harsha. We have a full house here at Hove. The expatriate community has turned up in numbers, and it seems the fans are as excited as I am for the first ball."


"Well, let's not keep them waiting. Let's look at the lineups, starting with the visitors, Mumbai."
