System of Shadows
What if death was only the beginning—and your second life came with a system, a secret, and a shadow that watched your every move?
When Elias Black dies in a tragic accident, he awakens in a world of swords, monsters, and magic—reborn not as a hero or noble, but a forgotten commoner. Yet the system embedded within his soul tells a different story.
In the slums of Arinvale, where power is hoarded by mages and nobles, Elias discovers a hidden strength that should not exist. As he fights to survive, grind levels, and uncover forbidden powers, he attracts more than monsters—mysterious allies, dangerous rivals, and a growing circle of admirers. But Elias has no interest in fame or affection. He only wants answers.
Why was he chosen? What is the true cost of power in a world built on lies?
And who—or what—is watching him from the shadows?
System of Shadows is a dark fantasy progression novel where the rules of the game are rigged, the weak are hunted, and the system hides a secret that could shake the world.
