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 took a deep breath, suppressing the bitter taste of regret that threatened to rise. He hadn't meant for things to go this far. His original plan was to simply smash Sylvia's bracelet, but his shadow—the darker part of himself—had overridden his intention, guiding his blade instead.

The cruel words he'd spoken to her had been deliberate. They weren't born of malice but necessity. If she'd resisted or fought back, her healing magic would've made things infinitely more difficult, especially since he hadn't prepared any poison to ensure her defeat. Still, the sting in his chest lingered, a sour reminder of what he'd done.

He pushed the feeling aside and turned his gaze to the others.

Evangeline stumbled back, her light sword trembling in her hands, its radiant glow flickering unsteadily.

'Damon… what have you done?' she whispered, her voice trembling, barely audible against the crushing silence.
