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

Back-to-Back looked at Damon with a thin smile, though unease twisted in his gut.

The boy's eyes were cold—too cold. Was this even the same reckless young man he once knew?

"So," Back-to-Back said, keeping his tone light, "you want to settle accounts, but you've got someone else fighting your battles for you. Seems like someone finally tamed you."

Back-to-Back smirked. There it was—a reaction. The little runt he knew was still in there somewhere.

"Could've fooled me." He tilted his head. "But fine. Prove it."

"Enough with the manipulation. You're going to spout some nonsense, try to bait me into fighting you one-on-one, then look for a chance to take me hostage and escape."

Back-to-Back chuckled, shaking his head.

Damon's expression didn't change. "Her name is Lilith Astranova. And she's not my mistress."
