Where there is light, there is shadow.
Sunlight does not merely cast darkness upon the earth — it also brings a parallel Shadow World into existence. The people of this world can wield their own shadows as living weapons. Cruel Demons dwell here too, and to endure their terrifying powers, humankind has locked itself away behind massive walls. In this dark age, defeating the Demons required an unexpected weapon — Arin.
Arin is an ordinary young man from the real world, deeply in love with his girlfriend, Misha. But fate suddenly tears him out of the real world and drops him into the mysterious Shadow World. There, Arin learns that he is no ordinary person — he is the King of this entire Shadow World. Yet even with such power, his heart aches to return to Misha. In this world, Arin encounters Rehan and Toshif. Toshif is a cunning, selfish magician who dangles the false promise of sending Arin home, scheming to use Arin's powers for his own gain.
The Shadow World is a reflection of the real one, so every person here has a shadow of their own. Arin's shadow is Abid — identical to Arin in appearance, but utterly cruel and an enemy of humanity, preying on humans. When Abid found himself close to death, he dragged Arin here from the real world to save himself, because when a real-world person crosses over, they are granted boundless power. To get back home, Arin needs Abid's secrets. And in this world, Arin meets a young woman named Mina, who looks exactly like Misha — she is the shadow of the real-world Misha. This plunges Arin into an agonizing dilemma: will he be able to find his own Misha within Mina?
