So many years of war and strife
So many years with tears in our eyes
Is this end of this conflict even in sight?
Or are we doomed to fight till we gouge out our eyes?
----------------------------------------
It started over 800 years ago. A devastating plague ravaged the world, killing countless people. Desperate for a cure, the people prayed for salvation, but no answer came.
One day, a woman appeared, radiating divine power and abilities beyond comprehension. She healed the afflicted and was revered as a goddess, known throughout history as THE ALL MOTHER.
She healed the world and influenced everyone. She married a man, and together they had ten children—five with Shadow energy and five with Lighter energy. Among them, six children possessed extraordinary body parts that granted them superior strength. These six were known as the Heirs:
Right Eye
Left Eye
Right Arm
Left Arm
The Shadow Heart
The Lighter Heart
The Shadows held the right body parts, and the Lighters held the left. Each child possessed one of these powerful parts.
Though immensely powerful, The All Mother eventually died after 170 years. Before her death, she entrusted her children with the responsibility of making the world a better place and maintaining peace. Her children continued her legacy, guiding their respective people and ensuring harmony.
As time went on the evolution among the shadows became different from the evolution of the lighters. The powers of the shadows had evolved and as such their appearance would change sometimes when using their techniques and it started making the lighters and humans of the world to feel uneasy around them.
This uneasiness and insecurity among the lighters and humans went on for some years but then the Anomaly was born.
His name was SORIN HASHIDO and he was born as a unique shadow. Normally every shadow and lighter is born with only one technique and except they are one of the Heirs that are born with the special body part that already has power in it, it is very rare to see a shadow or lighter be born with more than one technique. But Sorin Hashido was born with two abilities and those who aren't Heirs but are born with more than one technique are called ANOMALIES and they are very rare. Sorin Hashido was the first anomaly in history but his act 500 years ago is what changed everything.
Sorin Hashido's shadow techniques were the SHADOW BUG TECHNIQUE which allowed him to create insects with his shadow energy and use them to transfer his shadow energy to others incase they needed it and the hereditary technique of the Hashido Clan the SHADOW BEAST MANIPULATION TECHNIQUE. Sorin was a member of the Hashido Clan which was the high ranking Clan among the shadows and he was not one of the Heirs but he had strength that rivaled those who were Heirs. That was also one of the advantages of being born an anomaly (Anomalies possess unusually large amounts of Shadow or Lighter energy).
Sorin desired the evolution of life and everything around him. He believed that if the world was not ready to evolve, he would be the one who forces the world to evolve. As such, to test and see how far and strong his Shadow Bug Technique was, he sent over a 100,000 shadow bugs filled with his shadow energy on an entire state.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Shadow Energy is very dense and powerful and any being who isn't a shadow will die or turn into a shadow monster if they had shadow energy put into their body. As a result all the humans and lighters in that state who were bitten by the Shadow bugs Sorin had sent out died or became the shadow monsters which terrorize the world even to this day.
This act of Sorin Hashido is what turned the uneasiness and insecurity of shadows among the lighters and humans into fear and hatred and thus began the war between humanity, lighters and shadows. This act committed by Sorin angered the heads of the shadows clans and they all fought Sorin and intended to kill him but they all were defeated and killed.
The Hamorabi Clan was also wiped out in the battle. It was until Sorin fought the Hashido Clan Head of that time (the heir who possesses the second right heart) that Sorin Hashido met his end and was killed. But alas Sorin's actions had left a very big impression on everyone in the world and shadows were deemed outlaws and were called monsters which should be killed immediately if they are spotted.
Lives have been lost.
Ideals were shattered.
Uneasiness and Hatred filled the world
And the peace which the All Mother desired became a thing of the past
And with time, a large number of the shadows became exactly what the world told them they were. Monsters who were bent on destruction and as a result the remaining two clans among the shadows began to disconnect bit by bit until the two clans went their separate ways and lived elsewhere and away from each other.
As a result of Sorin's act, the Hashido Clan had the stain of having created the most evil shadow to ever exist and as a result, the council of Elders began running the affairs of the shadow society and not the Hashido Clan.
Thus lack of trust and unity existed among the shadows as well and has been that way since then until now.
The Shadow Bug Technique vanished with Sorin’s death until the Kaimi Daja recreated it. They targeted you, Kato, as a conduit from the Hamorabi Clan, seeking to harness the power of the God Eye.
The current Heirs are:
1. Ervin Hashido: Possesses the Shadow Heart, making him the strongest Shadow.
2. Eldon Snyder: Possesses the Lighter Heart, making him the strongest Lighter.
3. Taana Hemo: Possesses the Right God Arm, a member of the second highest-ranking Shadow Clan.
4. Joshua Egoshin: Possesses the Left God Arm, a Lighter and Hunter in the Hunter Force Association.
5. Kato Hamura: The last known member of the Hamorabi Clan, potentially awakening the Right Eye, the God Eye.
6. There is no info on the lighter who possesses the left god Eye

Kato: (astonished) But the world makes you look like you all were evil from the start. But it's not the case
Kiba: That’s how Shadows are seen now. We must remain hidden to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Kato: That’s not right
Ervin:I agree. As the head of the Hashido Clan, I’m committed to changing the perception of Shadows and helping as many as I can, just as Mira and Isaiah helped you.
Kuyomi: (nods)
Kato: But regarding the god Eye. You said that I could awaken it but what if my "father" already has it?
Kuyomi: We've already done our research......
Randar:.......and if there were a Shadow with the God Eye, we would have detected it. Ervin would sense it too.
Kato: For real? You can do that?
Ervin: (nods)
Kiba: Now that you know the history, are you ready to live among us as a Shadow and conceal your true self?
Ervin: So Kato allow me to ask you again, You were living a normal life but somehow you were able to survive the shadowfication process and now the people responsible for turning your life upside down are going to keep coming after you. So what are you going to do about it??
Kato:(reflects on everything) I want to grow stronger. I want to change how the world views Shadows and show that not all Shadows are evil.
Kuyomi: (smirks) Good. Then I’ll be the first to say it: Welcome to the Shadow Society, Kato Hamura.
