SHADOW FIGHT: THE ORIGIN OF RAGE
"Some people are afraid of the dark. Malakai was born to rule it."
At nineteen years old, Malakai is already an undefeated prodigy. He doesn't lose fights, and he doesn't show mercy. But he isn't chasing glory, medals, or a king's ransom. He's chasing an obsession.
Ever since he was a kid, Malakai was supernaturally drawn to the dark corners of the world. It wasn't a choice; it was his literal nature. He turned his entire life into a dangerous mission to find the ultimate source of that dark energy and claim it as his own.
That obsession leads him to the highest, most dangerous mountain peak in the world, home to the mythical Gates of Shadows.
Ignoring the final warnings of his master, Malakai cracks the ancient puzzle lock and plunges his blade into the swirling vortex. He thinks he's about to claim the ultimate weapon. Instead, the darkness claims him.
In a flash of pure agony, his skin, bones, and humanity dissolve into ink, leaving behind a faceless, pitch-black warrior silhouette.
Malakai wanted to control the shadow. Instead, he became one. And the world will never be the same again.
