Synopsis

[Your shadow is alive.]



[Feed your shadow, devour souls, level up, gain skills, complete quests, and grow stronger.]



[Do you wish to view your current stats?]



In the magical world of Aetherus, Damon Grey is the weakest student at Aether Academy, relentlessly bullied and ridiculed for his lack of power and defiant personality. Yet, he endures the torment, clinging to his scholarship—the only thing providing him with the funds to keep his sick sister alive.



After a brutal attack leaves him near death, Damon encounters a dark viscous entity in the forest that fuses with his shadow, awakening the Living Shadow System. This strange power grants him unimaginable abilities but comes with a grim cost—a relentless hunger for souls and flesh to feed his shadow.



Now, with his shadow alive and insatiable, Damon faces a terrible choice: feed it to grow stronger or starve it and die with it.



In a world ruled by ruthless nobles, deadly monsters, and power-hungry demons, Damon must decide if his newfound power is a curse or the only way to survive. With the Living Shadow System, his fate is clear: devour or be devoured.

If I were to rate this myself, I'd say the writing quality is high. You won’t find mistakes—well, on the off chance you do, feel free to leave a comment. I’m only human, after all! I’ve worked hard to craft a world filled with danger, monsters, and realms waiting to be explored. To avoid overwhelming info dumps, I’ve woven lore into skill descriptions, artifact explanations, and quests. The system the main character gains isn’t your typical overpowered gift—it comes with dangerous abilities that don’t make his life easier. While he does get a golden finger, he has to work hard to survive and thrive. I didn’t want a protagonist who just gets handed his power. The system itself has a deep origin, and its purpose and how he got it will be revealed as the story progresses. For those wondering: there will be no NTR or Yuri, or anything unwholesome. The answer is simply no. Expect plenty of fantasy elements like different races, dungeons, otherworlds, dragons, and much more! If you like the story, please leave a review—any kind is appreciated. Minor Spoiler Warning (Proceed at Your Own Peril) Some readers wondered why the MC didn’t just feed his shadow with monster flesh by venturing beyond the barrier. In chapter three, I subtly explained why: the forest beyond the barrier isn’t a place for low-level monsters—it’s a death zone called the Evil Forest. The first monster out there would kill him in seconds. Venturing out was never an option. The lore of this dangerous zone will be explored as the story unfolds. If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up on Discord. I’m still working on creating a proper server, so any help would be greatly appreciated! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thanks for reading!

Nice character development of the MC. Also the system is consistent not overpowered in an instant which is nice. But author needs to find a new feeding material like demons or monsters for the MC as this will become a villain story if he carries on killing humans.

Author wrote one of the most stupid and idiotic Mc ever. MC has one of the weakest mana 30 and next lowest to him is around 600ish and Mc also is stupid as in sucks at theory as well. In addition he goes around arguing with professors when he can handle it better. He also gets a system which can help him level up etc but then forgets he has a system. literally forgets he got something which can make him stronger and change his life smh. Instead of having some urgency to explore system he keeps putting it off and whining about how everyone looks down on him being trash commoner. SMH

I’m back and after reading to the latest ch I recommend the book If im being honest up until the locked ch it isn’t really interesting but beyond that it’s a really good book the main complaints are the slow pacing and the way the mc kills students repeatedly (their also nobles) the author should find a way to make an alternative such as killing monsters or just not kill ppl, they’d figure out the pattern of how it’s every two-four- eight days and so on because by the time he kills marcus he would have killed 4 students and there’s no way to school won’t take the investigation seriously and figure out it’s him at that point. Even if the school doesn’t figure out it’s him(Which is highly unlikely considering the student council pres found out in two mins talk less of the board and staff of the school)hed be caught as a mass murderer sooner or later.

It looks like a good book. I haven’t read it yet. Tho Have you considered adding R-18? or just some mature scenes in general.
