Ashborn Solo Leveling Shadow Monarch Novels & Stories

Do not restrain yourself! She did not. The Heartstone burst forth with energy, unleashing a wave of moonlight that sliced through the initial ranks of creatures. Yet, they continued to advance—quicker, more powerful, encroaching like a surge of living darkness. The Shadow King observed with a grin of utter, malevolent delight. He desired their exhaustion. He sought to diminish the Heartstone's strength. He aimed to trap Luna. And he was not concealing it. As the tempest of shadows encircled them, Luna comprehended something horrifying:

“Before you go, give me a sedative. I don’t want my brain to get addled and call for someone to get me out or something,’ I say to Dylan and Makya through the mindlink. Dylan looks concerned but nods to Makya, who goes into his bag and pulls out a vial and syringe before injecting me. I fall into the darkness of the Abyss. I embrace the darkness and see Aspen’s eyes glow in the bleak black of my mind. “We are The Shadow Wolves. We are ancient and sacred, though our line has dwindled thanks to hunger for power and greed amongst others. You are ready now for your truth, Ace. You are ready for our truth, but you need to embrace the darkness within you and face it or else you could become what w

Then, James headed to the ancient battlefield in the center of the mountain and began annihilating the shadows. The shadows in each space possessed varying degrees of strength. In the beginning, the shadows were weak. However, upon arriving at the fourteenth story, the shadow’s strength had reached the Fourth to Fifth Stage Lord Rank. Even for Xulia, it would be difficult for her to defeat these shadows. However, as a Sixth Stage Lord, Jabari could defeat them with ease. James went to defeat the shadows, whereas Jabari continued his closed-door meditation. As James’ strength was formidable, he could defeat the shadows easily. Each time he defeated a shadow, the shadows would drop something—w

I’m not anyone, I’m Aaliyah, assassin of the Italian mafia known as Shadow of death. There is no stopping me when I start. Every single last target had to die was my motto. If you didn’t plan to die any time soon then don’t approach me. But I had to restrain myself from killing the last one because I knew Dominic probably wanted to question him so I only knocked him out. I was back to normal and I turned my attention back to the people who were standing a few feet away from all of this that had just happened.

“But not again. Not ever again.” The monster in him was fully awake now—eyes black with fury, his jaw set so tightly I thought it might break. And then, just as suddenly, the storm calmed. He straightened, shoulders loosening, voice dropping to something quiet as he walked towards me, too close. Something far more dangerous. “I don’t care how you’ll get the money back,” he said, almost whispering now. He reached out, his hand brushing my chin, forcing my gaze to his.

She closed her eyes, reciting words that seemed to resonate with an ancient power: "When the forest weeps and darkness nears, Two souls shall meet across the years. One born of shadow, one of light, Together they'll set the future right. The Shadow's strength, the Flame's bright light, United they'll stand against the night. In balance found, new hope takes flight, As dusk and dawn at last unite." Asha's eyes opened, fixing me with an intense stare. "You, my dear, are the Light spoken of in the prophecy. And Kai," she said, turning to him, "you are the Shadow." My mind reeled, struggling to process the weight of Asha's words. I looked at Kai, seeing the same mix of confusion and, somehow, th

“You think she rules you. But I know her mind. I am her mind. And I know she’s terrified of what she’ll become when you’re gone.” Amara’s hand brushed Luca’s arm. “Don’t.” “She’s trying to bait you,” she said softly. The clone stepped closer. “Tell me, Queen of Ash — how does it feel to wear a crown built on the bones of men who worshiped you?” Amara didn’t flinch. “It feels heavy. And earned. Something you’ll never understand.” A low rumble began beneath the ground. The air filled with the sound of shifting metal — the Ash Legion emerging from beneath the square. Dozens, then hundreds of them, crawling up through the marble like insects.

The library descends into an uncomfortable silence, one I'm itching to break but I don't say anything, patiently waiting for him to speak. “Did you see the rift?” I nod. “It wasn't there when I left.” “And it's just the beginning. Even before you left, the shadows in our realm had intensified but we've been able to keep them at bay and prevent things from escalating. And now we have rifts.” Leaning back on his couch, fatigue washing over his face, he sighs, “Who knows what else will come? The human realm is collapsing, so is our realm but at a more obvious level.”

Newscience had collapsed, along with many underground smuggling networks, with enough of an impact to make any who might fill the void feel more than a little wary. They heard nothing from their cousins, however, and they were proving exceptionally difficult to track, beyond their disembarking back on their home continent. It seemed they'd had enough warning to go to ground, much like they'd done themselves, on this side. Ash had only continued to grow stronger, especially with training, and was found to have several more strong abilities, which she taught to some of the others with similar aptitudes. Her shadow travel rapidly grew faster too, and she seemed to have picked up Jason's skill i

Kydence asked with surprise. “How long have they been shifting?” Jen asked. “Only for a couple of months.” Blaze told them. “C’mon, everyone is waiting for us.” Shadow motioned for them to follow him. Jen smiled and followed her mate. She was excited to get back home and see her babies. “Well, hello there.” The deep voice said to them. “Allow me to introduce King Damien and Queen Reign.” Shadow said.
