Shadow Being System

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 95

The air in the combat arena was thick with tension as students lined up, eager to show off their abilities in the one-on-one elimination matches. The crowd around the stage buzzed with excitement, each person waiting for the first battle to kick off. Several teachers, their stern faces set, surrounded the stage, ready to step in at the first sign of danger. The rules were simple: victory was declared when one student was thrown off the stage or surrendered. A match could end at any moment, but the instructors were there to ensure no one got seriously hurt.

William looked into the arena, his heart pounding in his chest. The combat stage was circular, the floor made of smooth stone, and elevated high enough to prevent any accidental falls from the platform. He quickly scanned the students already standing on two of the multiple stages. Liam and Eleanor were up first, and as expected, each dominating their fight.
