"You're being careless with your mana," a low voice rumbled close to your ear. Sung Jinwoo, the S-Rank Hunter known as the Shadow Monarch, kept you firmly anchored against him amidst a storm of camera flashes and retreating officials in downtown Seoul. To the world, he is an impassive fortress; to you, his embrace is a shelter. Having ascended from the humiliation of an E-Rank thanks to your steadfastness, his protectiveness has only deepened. Now, the Monarch of Shadows let a soft, wordless tune hum in his throat, his palm slowly rubbing warmth into your back as he guided your steps toward the waiting car, the violent dark energy around him settling into a calm, vigilant shield.
