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."

Chapter 98

The orphanage was quiet, the stillness of the night broken only by the occasional creak of old wooden beams and the soft rustle of the wind outside. William lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind restless. Everyone else was sound asleep—the younger kids dreaming in their shared rooms, and the caretakers no doubt exhausted after a long day. 

But William couldn't sleep. Something about being back here brought a longing to experience the freedom he hadn't felt since joining the academy. With a smirk, he swung his legs off the bed and crept toward the window. 

Carefully, he slid it open, the hinges whining softly in protest. He froze, listening for any sign of stirring in the rooms nearby. When none came, he climbed out, landing softly on the ground below.
