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

"Screw off… I'm not doing you any more favors."

The elf smiled weakly at his words, blood staining his pale lips.

"You know… I used to pray you wouldn't turn out to be a killer… Goddess knows you had the disposition." His voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper. "So… how did it feel? When you took someone's life?"

Damon's fingers trembled. For a moment, he hesitated.

"Nothing." He exhaled. "It felt satisfying."

The first person he had actually killed with his own hands wasn't Lark. Lark had died by his shadow. Carmen Vale, too.

No, the first life he had willingly taken was Isaac. And when he did it, he had felt vindicated.

There was no guilt—like when his shadow killed Carmen Vale.

There was no doubt—like when his shadow killed Lark.

Back to Back chuckled, even as his body failed him.
