Summary
Sal Cooper, once the most loyal and effective shadow of the family, was used as a bargaining chip by the new head of the Cooper family during battles and major meetings to gain more benefits. He became a target for abuse by his former subordinates. After exerting all his efforts to kill those who had abused him, he attempted to end his life alongside Alan. However, he discovered that he had been chosen as a “shadow” of the family when he was young, enchanted with magic that prevented him from harming Alan and made him bear all the injuries Alan received, thereby enhancing Alan’s own abilities.
Learning from Alan that his entire life as a shadow had been orchestrated, Sal reversed the magic. Through his own death, he reclaimed everything Alan had gained from him, including talents and abilities. Although Alan managed to survive, he lost his vitality and the ability to intimidate other families, leading to the division of the Cooper family.
However, Sal Cooper finds himself reborn at the age of three, before the “Shadow Oath” magic was applied to him.
