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 59

As the lesson wrapped up, Mr. John glanced at his students with a stern expression, pausing before he left the room. "For those of you who haven't formed your soul crystal yet, tomorrow is your deadline. And for those without an ability… you'll be choosing one tomorrow as well."

Excitement buzzed through the students, with whispers breaking out across the classroom. William felt his heart leap in his chest. Finally, he thought. I'll get an ability. His thoughts spun with possibilities, each more thrilling than the last.

After class, Liam and Gazi started toward the dorms together, talking about the day's lessons and the upcoming deadline, but William broke away without a word. His eyes were focused, determination setting his jaw. He made his way toward the edge of the academy grounds, his pace quickening as he entered the shadowed trails of the forest.
