This story takes place in an alternate version of the original Shadow Slave series, running parallel to Sunny's journey while introducing new characters, perspectives, and threats. It currently focuses on Zerin and Dexter, two anomalies among the awakened. Their story will have its own impact while also reflecting on the events caused by the characters in the original series. I aim to have these characters cross paths with the original cast. I've also made changes to the system that I might regret later, but ultimately in the end, this is a fun project that got me to start writing. So, while there are definite errors here and there, I am aiming to grow along the away. (This story is purposely different from the original Shadow slave Novel.) I am not making a happy story. Sorry. Thanks for Reading!
