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 outcome was clear. The nobles didn't want the Temple meddling in their affairs, and neither did the Academy. However, the Academy also didn't want the nobles applying political pressure on them, thus the need to mention the Temple's name. Now that it had served its purpose, the meeting was effectively settled.

The nobles understood—they stood to lose more if they fought this. Thus, they could only grit their teeth and try to make the best of it. Or, in the case of the Fayjoy House, try to minimize their losses. After all, Marcus Fayjoy was the main culprit.

Damon suppressed a smirk. Instead, he wore an expression of feigned surprise—as if this was news to him. Lilith noticed. Her sharp gaze flicked toward him. He was clever. The information revealed today had been shocking. If he had acted too calm, too collected, with no prior knowledge, that would have been suspicious. After all, even she hadn't been told the full details beforehand.
