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."

He twirled one dagger effortlessly between his fingers, the blade cutting through the air with a barely audible "whissssh".

"Behold," Gavin said, his voice dripping with theatrical flair. "The finest daggers in the armory. Lightweight, deadly, and "fast"—perfect for someone with my "skills"."

William raised an eyebrow, impressed despite himself. "Not bad," he admitted. "But how does it pair with your speed?"
