[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

The bridge was destroyed, leaving the party to rest easy for the first time since they had been stranded in these lands. They could finally rest before continuing their journey.

Damon grabbed a supply bag and, without saying another word, unceremoniously tossed it to the ground and fell onto it. He knew his party would have questions for him. He would have to give them answers when he woke up—or at least come up with a convincing lie.

He didn't know how long he would sleep, so he activated the Sacrifice skill, turning some of his mana stats into shadow energy.

"If I don't find a monster to devour… I'll keep getting weaker," he muttered.

He was in a fight against time. Either he let his shadow grow hungry and gained power, or he sacrificed that power to stay sane.

Evangeline walked up to him, glancing at him lying on the sleeping bag despite the sun still being high.

"Ca…can we talk?" she asked hesitantly.
