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.

My Living Shadow System Devours To Make Me Stronger

Damon suppressed a cold smile when he heard Kael's words.

'They kept the most critical rule simple—anything goes if it's to win. Burning the forest might be suicidal, but I have an ace up my sleeve.' His thoughts wandered to his skill, [Water Celebration], a unique ability that ensured he couldn't drown in water. It might come in handy.

Murmurs spread like wildfire among the students as the implications of the rules began to sink in.

"Professor, if we can't use magical artifacts, how are we supposed to defeat a monster?" one student asked, desperation creeping into his voice.

Kael raised his hand, silencing the crowd.

"Enough. Let me explain the situation. Do not interrupt," he said, his tone cold and commanding.

His gaze swept over the group as he continued. "The rules of engagement are simple."

Kael pointed to the bracelets on their wrists.
