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 14

The boy cooking the hotpot finally stood up and announced, "The hotpot is done! Anyone want to try it? I can share!"

Some students eagerly rushed forward, plates in hand. William blinked, wondering where they even got plates from. Before the boy began serving, he raised a hand and said with a smug grin, "But just so you know, this isn't any ordinary hotpot. The chilies I used were grown with the help of an ability—so it's super spicy."

At this, some students withdrew their plates, hurriedly retreating to their seats. But a few brave souls remained.

"Oh, so we have some tough ones, huh?" the boy teased, laughing as he began to serve them.

The first student, full of confidence, took a bite. The moment the spicy broth hit his tongue, his expression went blank. He silently placed the spoon and plate down, stood up, and—without saying a word—began performing a graceful Chinese dance. His movements were fluid and elegant, surprising everyone.
