Intermediate level systems programming projects/textbook recommendations?
A game: you could learn how to use a cross-platform library like SDL or you could write your own from scratch. Here's a really simple example of a video game implemented for windows using nothing but native API calls. If you're using linux, it would be a fun exercise to convert that to X11 calls.

space-shooter.c: A cross-platform, top-down 2D space shooter written in C using only system libraries
I've never used WASAPI, just DirectSound (example), so I can't say much. I managed to get this WASAPI example to work with Mingw-w64 on Windows, though not Wine:

Can I make games in C?
Of course you can: opengl and vulkan are originally written in c. If you would like to create your own engine you can learn them (opengl is simpler). If you prefer to use an already existing engine, I would suggest raylib, a library for writing games in c (and a lot other languages). It is very portable and easy to use, their examples are very well made. I made some games with it, if you are interested I made a raycasting engine inspired to old doom games (nothing too special)
