Shadow Being System

Check out my other books: Demon Being System and The Neptune Guardian. In a world where strength determines one's future, William, an orphan with no extraordinary talents, faces a grim destiny—until a brutal attack leaves him clinging to life. Instead of death, he awakens to a mysterious and powerful entity lurking within his mind: the Shadow System, a game-like interface that promises him unimaginable power. But this power comes with dark secrets, and refusing it would mean his death. Forced into a pact with a voice that can hear his every thought, William must navigate a dangerous new reality where shadow abilities and celestial power collide. As he enters the prestigious military academy, his newfound abilities draw both allies and enemies, all while a deadly conspiracy brews in the shadows. With the odds stacked against him, William must unravel the mystery of the Shadow System and decide whether to embrace the darkness within—or be consumed by it. His journey from a bullied outcast to a potential god will challenge not just his survival, but his very humanity. Power always comes at a cost—will William be able to pay the price? "What am I?" William asked the system. The system’s voice echoed in his head, cold and indifferent. "You are nothing."

Chapter 47

The dim light from the dorm room flickered slightly as William sat cross-legged on his bed, staring intently at the glowing system interface in front of him. His breath was steady but shallow, his mind racing with questions after the system's revelation. A Shadow Crystal? He had heard about Soul Crystals, of course—every student at the academy knew that their primary goal was to form one. But a Shadow Crystal? That was something else entirely. He asked the system about it, curiosity burning in his chest.

"What is a Shadow Crystal?" William asked mentally.

The system replied in its usual neutral tone, "It is similar to a Soul Crystal. The only person who has ever possessed one was the Shadow Lord. Even he only had a single crystal, not two, like you."
