❝he was a shadow, she was the sea. and somehow, in the places where light never touched, they found each other."❞

- in world shaped by dungeons, monsters, and the rise of powerful hunters, Lee Min-ah stands at the edge of myth and reality-an enigmatic S-rank Hunter whose strength is said to be unmatched. she wasn't born a warrior, she was bullied, broken, and orphaned, and despite her attempts to face it, even death refused her. instead, she awakened. in that dark place, forged by pain and loss, Min-ah encountered something ancient, a monarch who was forgotten and betrayed their own. chosen as their successor, Min-ah inherited not just a system of power, but a legacy rooted in cosmic betrayal, ancient wars, and love lost to time.

everything shifts when she crosses paths again with Sung Jinwoo, the Shadow Monarch reborn. a face from her past she'd forgotten-yet someone who might be the only person capable of reaching the girl buried beneath all that power. -

just to preface this story is not just about her love with jinwoo, in fact she barely interacts with him until thousands of words into the story. this is long, and still in works.
