Dark Lord

Under the blinding lights of the squared circle, winning isn't just about the championship belt-it's about eternity. For decades, Dark Lord was a wash-up in the gritty, blood-soaked world of indie wrestling, taking brutal hits in high school gyms for fifty bucks a night. But after a desperation ritual in an abandoned arena, Jack returned to the ring with impossible strength, an unsettling aura, and a deadly secret: every opponent he pins surrenders more than just the match.
He harvests their souls, trapping them inside the intricate, squirming tattoos that cover his body. With each stolen soul, Jack grows faster, stronger, and more terrifyingly invincible. Promoters line up, fans scream his name, and he climbs the ranks of the nation's biggest wrestling promotion, leaving a trail of comatose, hollowed-out legends in his wake. Enter Marcus "The Sentinel" Hayes, a veteran luchador who notices the terrifying pattern.
His former tag-team partner hasn't spoken a word since losing to Jack-just stares blankly at the wall, a breathing corpse. When Marcus is slated to face Jack in a main-event steel cage match, he discovers the horrific truth of Jack's dark bargain. Trapped inside sixteen feet of reinforced steel with a monster that feeds on human spirits, Marcus must find a way to outwrestle an immortal god. Because in this match, there are no rope breaks, no disqualifications, and if his shoulders touch the mat for three seconds, his soul belongs to the champion forever.
