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."

DBS Chapter 9

Kaden's legs pounded against the uneven forest floor, the woods stretching endlessly before him like a labyrinth of salvation. Every stride sent jolts of pain shooting up his legs, his torn boot offering little protection against the sharp rocks and gnarled roots hidden beneath the soil. The soles of his feet screamed in agony, but he couldn't stop—not with the soldiers' voices echoing behind him. 

"Stop! You can't run forever!" one shouted, his tone laced with authority. 

But Kaden didn't listen. He couldn't. His breath came in ragged gasps, his chest burning with every intake of the cool night air. Sweat dripped into his eyes, blurring his vision as he dodged low-hanging branches and leapt over fallen logs. The forest felt alive, its shadows shifting and twisting as if mocking his desperate flight. 

"Just a little further," he told himself, though he had no destination in mind. Every step was fueled by raw survival.
