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."

DBS Chapter 18

The sun hung low, casting warm hues through the dormitory window as Jace received a call on his communicator. His face lit up momentarily as he answered, "Hey, Mom." Kaden, lying on his bed, glanced up briefly, sensing a different tone in Jace's voice.

"Jace, dear," his mother's voice came through, sweet but with an edge of expectation. "How's the academy? Have you made any friends? Remember, this is your chance to mingle with the elites. Don't waste it."

Jace sighed. "Mom, it's my first day. I barely know anyone yet."

"Well, you better start. Connections are important, Jace. You won't get far just by trying hard. And don't forget—this academy is filled with future leaders. Learn from them, blend in with them," she insisted.

His father's voice suddenly came through the speaker, more grounded and reassuring. "Just focus on staying safe, son. We've done our part getting you there; now it's up to you to make the best of it. Don't push yourself too hard."
