Shadow Slave: Reimagining the Aftermath of The Third Nightmare

A fanfiction for Shadow Slave, a novel written by Guiltythree (G3). This fanfiction takes place after Volume 7. 25th June 2025: While I deeply appreciate G3's masterful storytelling, the resolution of the conflicts in Volumes 8 and 9 veered away in a certain direction, which is different than what I had initially anticipated. From the beginning of the novel, there were enough foreshadowings that hinted at a vastly different fate for our beloved characters and how the conflicts in Volumes 8 and 9 will be resolved. This had led to many fan theories, which ultimately weren't realised in the canonical ending. Suffice to say, I was a believer in these popular “conspiracy theories” that fans had cooked up. This fanfiction is my exploration of those unfulfilled possibilities. I assure you, G3’s Volumes 8 and 9 are still thrilling reads! There were several moments that had me on the edge reading it from the beginning to the end, and I plan to incorporate the best bits into it. However, if you haven't finished them yet, be aware that this fan fiction will contain major spoilers for these two volumes. Also, I am writing this without having fully caught up on Volume 10, so its influence will be minimal … for now. First time author, will appreciate any feedback.
