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."

<p>Looking up at the targets he had set earlier, William smiled. They suddenly seemed too simple, too basic for what he needed to practice. He would need to create more challenging scenarios to truly test the limits of his new equipment. Perhaps it was time to venture deeper into the forest, where the real beasts lurked. After all, with tools like these, he needed to dream bigger.</p>

<p>His fingers traced the runes on the bow one more time as he began planning his training regimen. The other students might be practicing their sword swings and hammer strikes in the safety of the academy grounds, but William knew he had chosen a different path. His way forward would require creativity, strategy, and the courage to push boundaries.</p>
