The Shadow Pact

Jk_Ladder
Ten years ago, the First Gate opened in New York, unleashing monsters and twelve Supreme Beings who offered contracts to chosen humans. These became the Contract Warriors—humanity’s defenders. I wasn’t chosen. I’m Arjun Verma, 21. No powers. No contract. Just a blade, a broken body, and a family to protect. My father died in the outbreak. My mother lies cursed. My siblings still believe in me. To feed them, I enter Gates, risking everything for scraps. Until one day… something ancient stirs. Not one of the Twelve. Something deeper. Forgotten. The Shadow. Now I walk a path beyond the system—no longer a pawn, but a threat. This is the story of the boy the world overlooked… …and the darkness that will make it remember his name.
