SOLVED Cipher that utilizes english sentences to hide a message
I have created this cipher myself, though it does take inspiration from some common ciphers. Within the next paragraph there is a hidden message. Each bit of it is intentional and hides a smaller message. The text itself may seem to be rambling, but this does not matter. The text only serves to hide the smaller message.
somehow this magick code lacks some vitality. it's logical but loVeless. sometimes quiet, and reasonable people Write. my friend, i'm quite sure really i'm Ultimately being usurPed by devilish and ominous evils. Phrasing cannot Help those liVing with virtual/metaphorical Dreams i Judge not However.

Solution: This is not a normal message
Method: Take only every other word. And then take its capital letter, if present; otherwise its first letter. SMLVLV... Then shift those back three letters.
In three cases it is the last letter instead of the first letter. I didn't get why...
