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 1

"It's alright… everything will be okay. I just have to follow the plan." Kaden muttered to himself as he steadied his breath. Then he let out a bitter laugh. "But when does the plan ever work?"

From the tree he'd climbed, he looked out at the mansion sprawled before him. Its golden lights cast a dazzling glow on the cobblestone path leading up to the entrance, every window gleaming with warmth and wealth. Kaden crouched in the shadows, his dull, sunken eyes flicking from window to window, searching for an opening. Through the large panes, he could see the well-dressed shapes of rich kids mingling inside. Their laughter and music flowed out, muffled by the walls but loud enough to sting.

To them, life was just a series of parties and laughter. To him, life was hunger and survival.
