Hive Mind Is Devouring

Title: The Devourer's Dominion Synopsis: In a world where abilities define the powerful, Aetheron is born into a hidden bloodline—one that holds the ability to devour and absorb the powers of others, making him an unparalleled threat to those who dare to cross him. Raised in secrecy and isolation, Aetheron grows up unaware of the full extent of his potential. His true nature is shrouded in mystery, and the secrets of his lineage have been buried for generations, leaving him to struggle against the darkness inside. Despite his extraordinary abilities, Aetheron has been forced to conceal his power for fear of drawing the attention of dangerous factions who would exploit him. But when rumors of a grand tournament surface, promising unimaginable power to its victor, Aetheron is faced with a choice—remain hidden in the shadows, or step into the light and confront the truth about his heritage. As the tournament progresses, Aetheron is forced to reveal his forbidden abilities when a life-or-death battle pushes him to the edge. With the world now aware of his Devourer ability, he quickly becomes a target for the most powerful individuals, each eager to control, kill, or use him for their own gain. As he absorbs abilities from his fallen opponents, Aetheron discovers that he can combine and grow them, crafting new and even more powerful abilities. But Aetheron is not alone in his struggle. He is surrounded by allies with forbidden abilities of their own, and together they form a fragile, yet powerful alliance. But betrayal lurks at every turn, and every new power Aetheron gains comes at a price. As factions close in and alliances shift, Aetheron must decide how far he is willing to go in order to master his powers, uncover the truth of his bloodline, and take control of his destiny. The Devourer's Dominion is a tale of power, betrayal, and destiny, where abilities intertwine and reality itself can be reshaped by those who dare to push beyond their limits. In a world where everyone has something to hide, Aetheron will find that the greatest power of all is the one that can devour it all—and dominate the very forces that seek to control him.

In the early days of the Qing dynasty, the last great empire of China, a love that was never meant to be shook the throne. Bai Haofeng—a man of no title, no wealth, nothing but devotion—dared to love the emperor’s daughter. Against all laws, against all consequences, he took her hand and ran. But love was not enough to fight fate. They were hunted, torn apart, and branded as traitors. Yet, from that forbidden love, a child was born. Longzhuang. A child unlike any other. Born with one crimson eye and one jade green, he was feared from the moment he opened his eyes. The people called him cursed. A demon-born. A sign of disaster. But Bai Haofeng saw the truth—his son was meant for something far greater. Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was something far older, far more powerful. A soul that had lived a thousand lives. Each time he was reborn, he forgot. But his body remembered. His power could not be erased—the ability to summon storms, command fire, bend nature itself. And when his rage grew too great, when his human form could no longer hold him—his true self would awaken. Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was a dragon. And he saw what others could not. The past. The present. The future. Through eyes that were feared and hated, he glimpsed destiny before it could unfold. He saw love before it arrived. He saw betrayal before it struck. He saw death before it came. Yet, no matter how many times he watched fate weave its threads, he had never been able to cut them. Because even a dragon could not escape fate. The Red String had already tied him to her. Chun Guiying—a woman the world called a courtesan. A woman owned by others. A woman he could never claim. But the moment their eyes met, the string tightened. She was bound to him, as he was bound to her. Yet, love had never been kind to those who defied fate. Just as his father’s love shattered an empire, Longzhuang’s love could bring ruin to everything. Now, enemies lurk in the shadows, the past threatens to repeat, and fate has begun to tighten its grip. Will Longzhuang finally break the curse that has followed him for lifetimes? Or will history repeat once more? ---

In a distant future, a man is resurrected after seven thousand years, his body rebuilt with machinery and his past reduced to fragmented memories.

At first, he treated it as a game, exploiting secrets, manipulating people, and bending reality to his will. But then, the nightmare began. One night, he fell asleep in his world—only to wake up in another. No explanation. No way back. Just an unfamiliar world filled with danger. He tried using his ability, desperate for answers. And then… he died. But that wasn’t the end. He woke up again........in a different world. New body. New identity. Same fate. Over and over, the cycle continued. Sometimes a prince, sometimes a slave, a soldier, a sorcerer, a demon… but every time, he met the same cruel fate. Yet Elliot didn’t care. As long as he had his power, he would manipulate, deceive, and twist the world to his will. If the universe wanted to play games with him… then he would play to win.

Lin Tian is the weakest disciple in the Burning Heaven Sect. All his life, he had been practicing without success—no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't absorb qi like other disciples. Humiliated, belittled, and almost expelled from the sect, he was considered a cultivation trash who had no future. However, everything changed when he was sent to the Ancient Corpse Forbidden Zone as punishment. There, he discovered the carcass of a five million year old ancient monster that still retained residual qi energy. The moment he touches it, his body reacts—he not only absorbs the monster's qi, but also gains a mysterious power that changes his destiny forever. Now, Lin Tian has the Qi Devourer ability—he can absorb energy from all sources, including the qi of opponents, monsters, artifacts, and even the surrounding environment. With this power, he returned to the sect and shocked everyone. The students who used to laugh at him were now starting to get scared. The elders started to pay attention to him. However, the stronger he became, the more eyes lurked from the shadows.

His best friend, Rich, has noticed it too. And then there’s her—the mysterious girl who always appears at the end of his dreams, whispering the same urgent words: "You have to wake up." But wake up from what? As Cass digs deeper, the world pushes back. The more he questions, the more dangerous things become. If the dreams are more than nightmares, if the world around him isn’t what it seems…then what happens when he finally pieces it all together? Something is hunting him. Something doesn’t want him to know the truth. And once he does—there may be no way back.
