Chapter 0: Journey begans

As Yamato reached out to touch the shadow ore, a surge of power flooded through him. The ore, said to hold the essence of the Phoenix, infused him with a mysterious energy. With a shout, his body began to change, the darkness enveloping him, transforming him into a skeletal figure wreathed in shadows.

In that moment, Yamato felt a connection to something greater, as if the power of the shadows was now a part of him. As the transformation settled, he emerged with newfound strength and resolve, ready to wield the shadows as his own. From that day forward, Yamato became known as the Shadow King, a force to be reckoned with in the realm of light and darkness alike.
