Shadow System.

Ethan starts out as a regular guy, someone who blends into the background, working his job and living quietly. Everything shifts the night he encounters the Shadow System—a strange, calm voice that attaches itself to him and begins changing his life in ways he doesn’t fully understand. At first, the system feels intrusive, something he never asked for, but it quickly proves it can give him power in a world where hidden creatures called Spawns lurk in the dark. His first real fights are clumsy, messy, and terrifying. He’s not a trained hero or soldier; he’s just trying to survive. But each battle leaves him stronger. The system gives him new skills, like the ability to extend his shadow and eventually create “Shadowhands,” phantom limbs that can grab, strike, and restrain enemies. These moments feel empowering, yet they always come with a cost. The more he uses the powers, the more he feels himself changing—becoming less ordinary, less human. Outside the battles, Ethan tries to maintain normal connections, especially with Mia, someone who cares about him and sees him as just Ethan, not this evolving fighter in the dark. Balancing those two lives—ordinary friend and shadow-wielder—becomes harder every night.
