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 7

The morning came with a pale, cold light that bathed the ruins of the outskirts. The silence was deafening, broken only by the occasional wails of the survivors. For Kaden, the world had lost all sound. He moved like a phantom through the devastation, his body numb, his thoughts clouded by the weight of what needed to be done. 

He stood over Lira's remains, staring at her unrecognizable form. The golden strands of her hair caught the light, a haunting reminder of who she once was. His hands trembled as he crouched beside her, his fingers brushing against the blood-soaked earth. 

"I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice cracking. "I'm so… sorry." 

The words felt hollow, meaningless. What good was an apology to someone who would never hear it?
