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 97

The morning sunlight streamed through the dormitory windows, painting the room with warm hues of gold. William blinked awake, his excitement surging as he remembered what day it was. After three intense months at the academy, today marked the start of the long-awaited break. For William, this wasn't just any break—it was his chance to return to the orphanage, his home.

He sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as a grin spread across his face. The orphanage wasn't luxurious or filled with comforts, but it was the place where he had grown up, surrounded by people who cared for him like family.

Gavin, already awake and stretching near the window, noticed William's enthusiasm. "You look like a kid on his birthday," he said with a smirk.

William chuckled. "It's been months, Gavin. I haven't seen the orphanage or anyone there since I got here. I'm just... looking forward to being home for a while."
