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 76

The needle left a small, precise hole in the center of the dummy, which now seemed almost like a mocking scar against the dark, weathered material. The other students watched in silence as Malik and William stepped down from the raised platform. A few scoffed quietly, unimpressed.

"That's it?" someone whispered. "Just a hole? I mean, that's not really… much."

Another student chimed in, "Yeah, I mean, come on. Some people knocked it clean over, and Eleanor and Billy turned theirs to dust!"

The crowd murmured in agreement, glancing with something like disappointment at the duo. To them, Malik and William's attack seemed simple, maybe even weak in comparison to the flashier demonstrations they'd already seen.
