Sung Su-Ho's Legacy
Sung Su-Ho, the Monarch of Destruction, had always been a figure of immense power and strength. However, with his new task of guiding his army to form families with humanoid beings, he found a new sense of purpose. He was no longer just a warlord; he was a leader of nations and families. His descendants—especially his children Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin—were now carrying the torch for future generations.
Sung Su-Ho issued orders to his Living Shadows to marry humanoid beings, ensuring the continuation of their legacy. The Materialization Rings enabled the once-shadowy warriors to live lives of their own, and as a result, they became essential parts of society—be it as warriors, scholars, farmers, or rulers.

Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin: Guardians of the New Dynasty
Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin, the powerful dragon-summoners, had long been the pride of their father and the Shadow Monarch. Their bond with the Living Shadows was unmatched, and they commanded great respect among their descendants.
The two siblings, both mighty dragons and shadow summoners, took up the mantle of leading their families, just as their father and grandfather had done before them. They each took it upon themselves to lead the Living Shadows in their missions, guiding them to find mates in the humanoid world—humans, elves, and dwarves.
Sung Ye-Jun’s fierce determination and unwavering loyalty to the Shadow Monarch saw him commanding the Living Shadows with precision, ensuring that every shadow soldier married and formed families, growing their influence and strength across the world. His offspring, too, were trained from birth to become powerful dragons and loyal shadow summoners, carrying the weight of the family’s name with pride.
Meanwhile, Sung Ye-Rin, with her silver dragon heart and tactical genius, took a slightly different approach. She encouraged the Living Shadows to integrate with humanoid societies in more subtle ways, allowing her descendants to become leaders in diplomacy, magic, and government. Under her guidance, many Living Shadows found themselves in high positions of power, ready to defend the balance between shadows and humans.

The Seven Dragons of Shadow
The Seven Dragons of Shadow were not just warriors, but also pillars of the family and influential figures. Each dragon was unique in their abilities and personalities, but all shared a deep bond with the Shadow Monarch and their descendants. As their children began to come of age, the Seven Dragons took on more roles, each commanding thousands of Living Shadows under their influence.
1. Bellion, the proud and strategic leader, found a deep connection with the elves, marrying an elven sorceress and fathering children who were blessed with both dragon blood and magical abilities. His children, skilled in both diplomacy and battle, became renowned in the elven realms.
2. Beru, the mischievous and calculating, chose a human mage as his partner. Their offspring possessed immense agility and magic, inheriting Beru’s stealthy nature and intelligence. They integrated into human society as spies, advisors, and secret protectors.
3. Igris, the noble knight, married into a family of dwarven warriors, fathering children who were both skilled in metallurgy and combat. His offspring became defenders of dwarven cities, wielding enchanted weapons and upholding their family’s honor.
4. Tusk, wise and stalwart, found a partner in a human high priestess. Together, they raised children who were gifted in both magic and diplomacy, becoming great scholars and peacekeepers.
5. Jima, fierce and unstoppable, married a human warrior from a distant land. Their children, inheriting both Jima’s raw power and the warrior’s training, became legendary gladiators, traveling the world and conquering challenges.
6. Kaisel, fast and elegant, wed a dragonkin who shared his love for the skies. Their children, born with both wings and draconic might, became renowned as sky warriors, protecting the heavens from invaders.
7. The Unknown Dragon, who preferred isolation, found a quiet love with a fellow dragon, and together they raised children who were scholars of ancient magic and keepers of forgotten knowledge.

The Creation of the Shadow Families
As the Living Shadows continued to marry and have children, their numbers grew exponentially. Hundreds of thousands, even millions of Living Shadows spread across the world. Their bond with their summoners was only strengthened by their familial ties, making them an indomitable force. Their children—half-shadow, half-human—were raised to understand the legacy they carried and the power they wielded.
The generations that followed brought forth Divine Dragons of Shadow, who inherited the powers of both the dragons and the Living Shadows. Their wings, blood, and powers connected them to the ancient dragon clan, but their souls and loyalty remained bound to the Shadow Monarch. Their task was clear: uphold the legacy, protect the realm, and grow their family.

The Future of the Shadow Family
The Shadow Monarch and Monarch of Destruction were no longer just rulers of realms; they had become patriarchs of an enormous family, one that spanned generations and reached into the very essence of shadow and light. The families they had created would continue to expand, becoming an essential part of the world they ruled and protected.
As the Living Shadows flourished, new challenges arose—new enemies, new worlds to conquer, and new dimensions to explore. But with the Divine Dragons of Shadow at the forefront, and the families they had built, the legacy of the Shadow Monarch and Monarch of Destruction would endure for eons to come.
> "Our children are our greatest strength," Sung Jin-Woo mused one day, gazing upon his growing family. "The future is theirs to shape, and we will always be there to guide them."
And so, the legacy of the Shadow Monarch, the Monarch of Destruction, and their Living Shadows continued to thrive, building a future of power, loyalty, and strength for the generations that would follow.
