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

[Mastery] was the new system mechanic Damon had unlocked. It was his reward for reaching level 7—replacing the usual level-up skill with something entirely different. He certainly hoped it was worth it.

His last major reward had been Ashborn, a power that allowed him to wield flames capable of devouring both body and soul. It was terrifyingly effective, especially since those consumed by his fire would also be counted as having been devoured by his shadow—or so Lilith had claimed. He hadn't tested it yet, though. The idea of experiencing tenfold the pain of burning alive wasn't exactly appealing.

He scrolled down his system panel, noting the section still marked [Locked]. The [Locked] function was still there, which meant there were more features yet to be unlocked.

"Maybe the [Quest] feature," he mused. "The system has never given me one, so maybe I need to unlock it first."

He refocused on [Mastery], zooming in as more details appeared on the interface.
