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 86

With trembling hands, William reached out to summon his wind ability. He focused, drawing on the memory of how the soul essence had once coursed through him, commanding the air around him to bend to his will.

But nothing happened. The wind remained still.

William tried again, this time more forcefully, but it was as though the wind couldn't even hear him anymore. His heart sank further.

"Gone," he whispered. "Even the wind is gone."

Swallowing his frustration, he turned his focus to the lightning ability. He hesitated for a moment, unsure if this would fail him too.

"Lightning Strike," he muttered.

Crackling blue sparks danced along his fingertips, faint but responsive. Relief washed over him as he realized the lightning still obeyed him.

"At least I have this," he murmured. Then a thought struck him.
