[Slow Burn, No System, Not Invincible, No CP, Ensemble Cast]
When the sun disappeared, shadows became a disease that devoured people. A single artificial sun once again divided humanity into ranks.
Beyond the reach of the sunlight, people fought like dogs over a bite to eat. A ray of sun or a dose of medicine was all they could hope for in their entire lives.
Under the rules, sixteen-year-old Wen Shuo struggled to survive. For the sake of a lifelong dream, he set out on a path where he would wager his life against the shadows.
But the stakes he won at the cost of everything were worthless in the eyes of the upper class.
He looked at the shadows that gave people abilities. Were they a disease, or evolution?

The rules were nothing but chains made by those at the top to keep the dogs leashed.
