A DARKENED, RUINED AND FULL OF SUFFERING SHADOW WORLD As the mortal world got invaded and destroyed by the horde of dark demons and shadow monsters, everything was covered in the darkness of hell and the constant insufferable noises that were the combination of the endless scream from those evils and the crying and mourning of the lucky few that manage to survive through this nightmare.

Through countless battles and obstacles, shadow hunters are destined to bring the light back to this mortal world.
