The history of the Night Shadow souls' rule over the Black Veil World could be traced back several eras, to the time of the ecological Cataclysm.
During the ecological Cataclysm, the light of the world's origin was eroded by the rules of the Eternal Moon. From then on, there was no longer any cycle of sun and moon; only silver moonlight, refracted through the world, shone across the land.
Amid the mass extinction of life, the countless dissipating souls unexpectedly influenced the rules of the world's origin, giving birth to the Night Shadow souls—resentful soul lifeforms capable of wielding phantom power beneath the silver moon's radiance.

Eight-legged spiders covered in black fuzz appeared one after another atop the high ridge, their pairs of compound eyes gleaming with cruel, savage light. They let out low, hoarse cries, then rushed down the ridge one after another, pouncing upon the dozens of wandering Night Shadow souls in the sunken valley below. A slaughtering feast began.
The drifting light of the electron layer high in the sky was the world's only illumination. This dim environment was the perfect paradise for brood venom spiders.

A sinister wind swept past, carrying fluffy white dandelions—strange things of this dark world.
One of the dandelions broke away from the sinister wind and drifted toward the brood spiders feasting in the valley. After circling them once, it gradually transformed into the phantom of a white-skinned human wizard. It cast healing sorcery around a gigantic brood venom spider more than ten meters long, mending the injuries the Night Shadow souls had just inflicted upon it.
These brood spiders seemed already accustomed to Wandering Dandelion's healing. They displayed no unusual reaction and simply continued doing whatever they had been doing.
