BROKEN

In the opening chapters, we witness a protagonist grappling with the grief of their past: the apparent loss of loved ones and the devastation of their kingdom. During a poignant moment on a cliff, Elena, the protagonist's love, fades away, and this emotional turmoil is transformed into a harsh reality as they find themselves amidst the ruins of their kingdom, surrounded by the bodies of their people. In the depths of despair, the protagonist encounters a figure identified as the devil, who offers a proposition: to use the darkness to regain power and seek vengeance against the gods who allowed such suffering. Torn between the temptation of vengeance and the loss of humanity, the protagonist ultimately accepts the devil's offer, swearing allegiance and embracing their dark powers.

With newfound authority, the protagonist and their allies, including Mira, begin to gather others disheartened by the gods' indifference. They activate their shadows to attract those who have lost everything, and their cause begins to resonate with many who wish to reclaim their dignity and fight back. Training sessions commence to hone shadow manipulation skills, as the energy within the cave electrifies with purpose. The protagonist grows into their role as a leader, committed to uniting their followers against the oppressive gods, driven by a sense of justice and revenge. As camaraderie strengthens, it is evident that preparation for the inevitable confrontation with the gods is underway, and the protagonist stands poised to reclaim what was lost throughout their tragic journey.
