Shadow Sovereign of the Extinction Game

The Pantheon's Wager has begun, and Earth is the newest arena. While humanity scrambles for the Gods' divine rewards, Tariq Morad is busy running for his life through the collapsing subways of Oraz City. Just as a pack of celestial hounds corners him, he accidentally awakens a power that defies the heavens: the ability to rip the shadow from a colossal bone dragon buried beneath the bedrock. No rotting flesh, just pure, indestructible darkness. Now, Tariq is snowballing into a one-man army, turning arrogant demon lords into his personal tea-servers and clearing apocalyptic dungeons with terrifying ease. But alternating perspectives between Tariq and his fiercely competitive rival, Farrah, reveal a horrifying truth: the 'divine rewards' given to top players are actually soul-binding traps designed to possess humanity's strongest. With a double agent feeding the gods their every move, can Tariq and his endless shadow legion kill the deities before the whole world willingly drinks the poison?
