Shadow’s Anchor - The First Sequence

He lost his shadow. He found the void. Elias Thorne is a junior sysadmin in Riverport, a city of rusted bridges and neon-soaked misery. His life is a routine of server errors, lukewarm coffee, and an empty bank account. Until the 11:30 PM Blue Line train. When the lights flicker in the tunnel, Elias’s reflection stops mimicking him. It smiles—a jagged, predatory grin—and whispers words that bleed. Suddenly, Elias isn’t just a cog in the corporate machine. He is a 'Little Anchor'—a human tether to an ancient, light-drinking void that has been drowning for three thousand years. As the shadows of Riverport begin to wake and feed, Elias must master a power that is slowly turning his body into black obsidian, or be consumed by the very darkness he now commands.
