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

The young man's group was in bad shape. Their combat uniforms were slashed and torn, and their original party of seven had been reduced to just three battered survivors.

Damon's sharp eyes took in the injuries. Those look like sword wounds…

Natch, the least injured of the three, was trying to steady himself as he leaned against a rock. Damon wasn't sure what had attacked them, so he expanded his shadow perception to its full two-kilometer range. His senses swept through the area, but he didn't detect anything significant. No signs of large threats, no lurking automata, not even the faint presence of their inanimate shadows.

"Were they attacked by other students?" Sylvia muttered, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Unlikely. The sword wounds look like they came from someone much taller."

Evangeline glanced between Sylvia and the injured group.
