Kai Kayaba, throughout his whole life, was what people could be considered a weakling. Someone who could never be someone special. He was physically weak but was very smart in terms of academics and logic. He searches for ways to become even stronger. One day, when he was leaving school, along with other kids around his age, a mysterious, blue-like portal appears and they were all transported somewhere else, where Hell awaits them. As Kai is struggling to survive in that place, in his dying moments, he wishes he wasn't so weak. He wishes to be in a world where all of his worries are banished, one where he could truly fit in and find meaning in his life. As the darkness took hold of him, he felt himself slimming away. However, right before he did, he heard a word. One which forever changed his point of view. "Arise" This fan fic will combine elements from both Solo Leveling and Eminence of Shadow. Disclaimer: The Eminence in Shadow and Solo Leveling belong to their respective authors. I do not claim ownership of the characters or even story in which the world takes place. This, is purely a work of fiction for entertainment.

I honestly can't remember what catalyzed this desire. All I know is I've admired shadowbrokers for as long as I can remember. Was it a certain anime? Or was it a manga-or a movie? Eh, I guess it doesn't matter. I was all in for anything that featured a mastermind, or an eminence in shadow as I like to call them. These characters were never the protagonists or final bosses but were relegated to a role behind the scenes where they flaunted their powers and meddled in the affairs of others. I've always looked up to the men in the shadows. I wanted to be one of them. Think of children who worship their favorite superheroes. That was me but with master puppeteers. Well, there was one thing that set us apart: My reverence for them wasn't short-lived. In fact, it buried itself deeper in my heart, never dying out and always guiding me through life. To become stronger, I learned everything from karate to boxing, from swordplay to mixed martial arts. I hammed it up during all my practices, concealing my true power from the world and preparing for the fated day. "What is he even mumbling in the dead of the night?" complained the brown-haired boy laying on his side in the other bed. Ayanokouji pretends to be sound asleep and a cold mid-night breeze enters the supposed closed window. He sighs. "What a drag..." -------------x Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters involved in the story, credits to both original authors. Prepared for OOC especially to Kiyotaka. Anyway, have fun and enjoy
