Adonis was a normal student when the Nightmare spell descended. Will he be able to carve out a life in this new cold world? Or will he become another frozen trailmarker on the path to power. Hi just to be clear this is a fanfic that takes place in the shadow slave universe. I have currently read chapter 2205 at the time of starting this. And while it will include mostly original characters and events as it takes place during the onset of the Nightmare spell in America. But expect some spoilers for anyone who has yet to read Shadow Slave though I'll try to avoid story related ones. I apologize for any contradictions or inconsistencies that I accidentally make to the source material. Also credit to the artist Ellieaedon on Twitter for the cover art of Noctis, its their fanart of an alternate cover for vol 4 Chainbreaker.
