Shadow Slave (Novel)

Growing up in poverty, Sunny never expected anything good from life. However, even he did not anticipate being chosen by the Nightmare Spell and becoming one of the Awakened - an elite group of people gifted with supernatural powers. Transported into a ruined magical world, he found himself facing against terrible monsters - and other Awakened - in a deadly battle of survival.
What's worse, the divine power he received happened to possess a small, but potentially fatal side effect...

Transmigration Magic Weak to Strong Antihero Protagonist System Superpowers The Strong Acting Weak

    As of today (November 29, 2025), Shadow Slave is officially still ongoing. The story has not yet been completed; the author is planning the final arcs and, after the current break, intends to continue releasing chapters rather than abandoning the novel.

    Great story. Picked it up on a whim and now I've been reading it everyday. Has suspense, sarcasm, a bit of comedy and dark humor. Definitely a must read.

    Great story! Amazing story telling and world building. Too much lingering though. Author desperately needs a bigger vocabulary or a thesaurus. An editor would help too.

    Absolutely loved it up till 2000ish. Getting abit dull from all the repetition.
