"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!"

"Hello and welcome to the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium here in Chennai. I'm L. Sivaramakrishnan, and joined by me is the legendary Sunil Gavaskar."


"Thank you, Siva. It's a cracker of a game to start the Ranji season. The defending champions Mumbai taking on the heavyweights Tamil Nadu."


"Let's talk about Mumbai. They had a great pre-season in England, beating Surrey. But the conditions here are vastly different. The red soil of Wankhede is replaced by the dry, turning surface of Chepauk."


"Exactly, Sunny. And the big news coming from the middle is the team selection. Mumbai has listed the 15-year-old sensation Aryan Sharma in the playing XI, but reports suggest he is playing primarily as a batter today due to workload management."


"It's a mature decision by the management. He's young. No need to bowl him into the ground. But Tamil Nadu won't make it easy. They have a lineup packed with talent."
