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."

Shadow Being System

<p>William climbed out of the chasm with practiced ease, his movements smooth and precise as he gripped the jagged rocks and pulled himself up onto solid ground. The late afternoon sunlight filtered through the thick canopy of trees, casting long, golden rays that danced across the forest floor. The air was cooler now, tinged with the earthy scent of damp moss and distant wildflowers. Birds chirped sporadically in the trees, their songs blending with the rustling of leaves stirred by a soft breeze. The forest was alive, but its vastness and the shadows creeping between the trunks lent it an ominous air. </p>
