Synopsis

[Death Scythe] [Dark Element] [Thrilling and Badass]

After transmigrating to a high-martial world where everyone awakens supernatural abilities, Su Chen awakens an S-rank dark ability from the start. People say it isn't as strong as ice, lightning, or fire abilities of the same rank.

That it can only be used by an assassin for sneak attacks, or for lurking and reconnaissance?

Su Chen just grins, binds the [Slaughter System], and kills demonic beasts to earn Slaughter Points. He pours points into his abilities, evolves toward invincibility, and restores glory to the dark element!

At the three-year appointment he made with the aloof campus belle, he summons his bonded S-rank spirit weapon, the [Death Scythe], and becomes a legend in one battle!

Spend 100,000 Slaughter Points: the S-rank [Shadow Monarch] evolves into the SS-rank ability Eternal Night Monarch. With a single thought, eternal night descends!

Spend 3,000,000 Slaughter Points: the SS-rank ability evolves into an SSS-rank ability, the [God of Shadows]!

“Arise, Shadow Legion!” With a single call, ten thousand shadows submit!

“River of Darkness!” With a single call, even time stops for me!

And that's not all. His bonded spirit weapon can also be enhanced with points. It evolves all the way from an S-rank weapon to an SSS-rank weapon, the [Space-Time Demon Scythe], which can cleave through the void! Wherever there is shadow, Su Chen is there!

I am the shadow!

From then on, all that remained was the legend of the man seated upon the Throne of Shadows: Su Chen.

Aloof campus belle Luo Qingxue: “I regret it… If only I'd made Su Chen mine when he was three…”

Prodigies: “If you don't cultivate, seeing Su Chen is like a frog at the bottom of a well gazing at the moon. If you do cultivate, seeing Su Chen is like a mayfly beholding the open sky!”

This is a very enjoyable martial arts novel. It should have multiple female leads. I hope there will be more of Xi Yaoyao's storyline. Also, please don't include that guy surnamed Luo. However, he's a bit toxic. The protagonist knows that the people from Kunlun Mountain want to suppress him. He gives them his essence blood when asked. Doesn't he know how important essence blood is? Isn't he afraid of being tampered with?

It's a great read! You're lucky to see me level up as a full-time mage all by myself. It's really good. Super satisfying! The leveling up is a bit too fast, and it lacks some detail, but overall it's still very good. Highly recommended!

It's good, but the male lead is like a succubus; he falls for every woman he meets, without ever confirming the relationship or making any statements. This is even more annoying than being promiscuous.

It's good, but the male lead gets liked by every woman, yet he never confirms the relationship or expresses his feelings, just keeping them hanging on. It's already showing signs of a harem story, but I'll just leave it at that and trick a few people who like harem stories into reading it!

Keep it up, bro! We're both newbies, but you're already way better than me. The content is good too, it's quite entertaining. Keep it up!

Perhaps it's a matter of different tastes. I thoroughly enjoyed the power levels throughout the story; the overall combat strength was consistently high. However, I couldn't appreciate the plot. It seemed like a story with multiple female characters, but not quite. The protagonist had ambiguous relationships with many women without any physical intimacy.

It's really good! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story. I hope there aren't too many female leads, just a few is fine. I hope there's more exploration of power levels and different worlds, and that the male lead's level doesn't increase too quickly. 🌷

It's good and enjoyable! The shadowy style isn't as exciting or pretentious as some others 😂 There are funny parts too. It's worth reading. I previously saw a book mainly about creating an organization, but the beginning didn't even explain why it was being created; the whole thing was unclear.

A fast-paced, action-packed story with decisive ruthlessness and relentless power struggles; it's definitely worth reading. So far, I've finished watching it and it's been awesome! ✌︎( ᐛ )✌︎

It's pretty cool and looks good, with no major flaws. Personally, I feel there's a slight imperfection: it's a bit uncivilized. I don't know why the rating is so low; it should be around eight points.
