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."

High in the canopy of the forest, hidden from sight, a figure crouched on a thick branch. The twilight filtered through the leaves, revealing green hair tied back in a tight bun. The ninja's piercing eyes scanned the scene below, watching the tension unfold between William and the boy with mild amusement.

He pulled out a small, worn coin from his pouch, flipping it into the air with a soft ting. The coin spun in the twilight before landing neatly in his gloved hand. He glanced at the result and smirked.

"Not yet," he murmured to himself. "Let's see how far this kid can go on his own. But…" He shifted slightly, adjusting his position to get a better view. "If it looks like he's about to die, I might step in. Maybe."

He settled into the shadows, his presence undetectable as the battle below began.
