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 was already exhausted from the day, but this was par for the course with his party.

After all, they had spent a whole week fighting their way out of the Whispering Forest.

Why would they expect Lysithara to be any different? They had long since grown past the point of being weak, frightened teenagers in a world that obviously wanted them dead.

They had been given an option: adapt, or be removed. And they had adapted. They had grown—though partially in a direction of madness, weighed down by invisible scars that magic couldn't heal.

Damon didn't believe in therapy, but he knew that after what they had experienced, the mental health quartermaster would certainly have a handful.

At this point, they were comparable to actual war veterans—just without the military discipline.
