[Your shadow is alive.]

[Feed your shadow, devour souls, level up, gain skills, complete quests, and grow stronger.]

[Do you wish to view your current stats?]

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 left without telling Luna much. His sister seemed sad about Back-to-Back's death, and that was fine. She didn't need to know what had happened behind the scenes.

He had come to spend time with her and give her the pager so she could contact him whenever she wanted. That was enough.

After leaving, he made a brief stop to see Flora Estin, the healer who specialized in magic circuit cancer. She gave him an update on Luna's condition—she was stable. Not cured, but stable.

Although Flora was optimistic, she also voiced her concern.

"Can you keep up with the payments?"

It wasn't a question born from doubt, but from experience. Many noble families had abandoned their own when faced with magic circuit cancer—it was simply too expensive to keep someone alive when the costs never stopped rising.

Damon understood where she was coming from.
