In a world where all people are normal just like on Earth, one will be born with supernatural powers and become an assassin. He grows up with friends who are also like him, gets a wife, house, and settles down. However, he continues his assassin job with a name that strikes fear into all that hear it, although they typically die after he tells them. While few know his true name, many call him The Shadow Crawler, The Abyss of Darkness, The Shadow Dancer, etc. Long, curly, dirty blonde hair. 200 pounds. 6 feet 1 inches. An IQ of 500. Able to control shadows and infiltrate darkness. An unkillable hitman who always completes his job unscathed. A loner who walks by himself everywhere he goes. Edgy, but not too edgy. A lady killer, literally. And only 20 years old. He is Trent Chapters.
Diagnosed with a terminal illness, Peter Katz hires a hitman to take him out. But when a cure is discovered, Peter's got to outrun the assassin to stay alive!
