Shadow’s Resurgence

Shadow’s Resurgence, The Betrayal of Shadow, 家族影子的背叛

Sal Cooper had always been the most loyal and efficient shadow of the Cooper family, a man who dedicated his life to their cause. As a master strategist and fierce warrior, his victories brought glory and power to the family. Yet, loyalty proved to be his undoing. During a critical distribution meeting, the newly appointed head of the Cooper family, Alan, betrayed him. Sal was sent as a sacrificial pawn, abandoned to the mercy of rivals and subjected to brutal abuse by the very subordinates who had once served under his command.

Refusing to accept his fate, Sal clawed his way back from humiliation, hunting down those who tormented him and vowing to take Alan down with him. But his vengeance uncovered a horrifying truth: as a child, he had been chosen to serve as the family’s “shadow,” a living shield enchanted with a twisted magic. This curse forced him to absorb Alan’s injuries and pain, enhancing Alan’s strength and abilities at the cost of his own suffering. Sal’s entire life had been carefully orchestrated—every victory, every sacrifice—engineered to ensure Alan’s rise to power.

Determined to break free from this cruel manipulation, Sal made the ultimate sacrifice. By reversing the magic’s effects, he reclaimed everything Alan had stolen from him—his talents, abilities, and even the dignity he had long lost. In the process, Sal’s own life ended, but the price he exacted was devastating. Though Alan survived, he was left powerless, stripped of his vitality and influence. The once-dominant Cooper family crumbled, unable to withstand the fallout of Alan’s failure.

But Sal’s story didn’t end there. By a twist of fate, he was reborn, awakening in his three-year-old body—before the curse of “nourishment” had been cast upon him. Armed with the knowledge of his past life, Sal Cooper now has a chance to rewrite his destiny, confront those who wronged him, and forge a new path unbound by the shadows of betrayal.
