Shadow Monarch's Contractor

A 19-year-old E-rank hunter who awakens the 'Monarch Contractor System' after a near-death experience in a C-rank gate. Unlike Sung Jin-Woo's Shadow Monarch power that only controls shadows, Min-ho's system allows him to form contracts with defeated creatures from ANY Monarch faction-shadows, beasts, ice, insects, demons, and more. Each contract grants him access to that creature's abilities, but every bond extracts a hidden price that slowly reveals itself. He must navigate Korea's dangerous hunter society while uncovering why he was given this power and what the true cost of each contract will be.
