Hunger Gmes

The world is governed by the System, an omnipotent force that dictates reality, bestowing power upon chosen individuals, granting them Classes, Paths, and Skills to combat the monstrous horrors that emerge from the Rifts. Hunters-humanity's champions-rise through the ranks, seeking glory, wealth, and dominion. But what happens when the System itself rejects you? Ronan Kessler, an orphan from the slums of Ashenford, had only one dream-to Awaken and become a Hunter, to rise above the filth and carve his name into history.

A voice from the abyss, a force older than the System itself. It offers him a choice: remain nothing, or embrace the forbidden. Marked by the Devourer's Curse, Ronan is no longer bound by the System's laws. He does not level up. He does not gain normal skills. Instead, he devours his enemies, assimilating their essence, evolving into something beyond human. But power comes at a price. The world fears him. Hunters seek to destroy him. And deep within the void, something watches, waiting for the day he opens the Forbidden Gate. With the world against him and an eldritch hunger clawing at his soul, Ronan must decide: Will he defy fate and forge his own path? Or will he succumb to the abyss and become the very monster the world fears?

[WARNING:18+ SCENES AHEAD] Flesh, blood, and hunger—everything will burn at their hands. Alaric is a monster—an immortal cannibal, feared across the supernatural world. For centuries, his name has echoed through nightmares. Now, after thousands of years of imprisonment, he is unleashed, driven by an insatiable hunger that devours everything in its path. For centuries, he has been a myth—a legend of destruction. Until now. Eric, a newly turned vampire, stumbles into the cave where Alaric has been imprisoned for thousands of years. His blood spills onto an ancient symbol, and the world trembles as Alaric awakens. Unstoppable, ravenous, and deadly, he is unleashed on a world unprepared for his return. But amid the chaos, something strange happens—Alaric senses a familiar connection in Eric. Eric is the reincarnation of Killian, his long-lost best friend, the soul he yearned for and thought he'd never see again. Alaric, ruthless and cruel, is torn between his insatiable need for destruction and a deep, dangerous pull toward Eric. Eric doesn’t care about the monster Alaric is—he only knows one thing: He needs him. The hunger inside him mirrors Alaric's, burning through him, consuming him. The bond between them grows twisted and intense, a dark fire that neither can escape. Together, they are unstoppable, tearing through the supernatural world with an insatiable thirst for power and blood. Can Alaric conquer the darkness inside him, or will Eric’s devotion to a monster lead to their destruction? In a world ruled by powerful beings, they are the true rulers. But as their bond deepens, one question remains—who will survive when the fire is done? Some bonds are forged in blood—but they don’t just burn. They consume everything.

There are countless ways to survive in a world already consumed by darkness, yet there are infinitely more ways to perish. If you're reading this out of curiosity, wondering what kind of worlds would be considered apocalyptic, or if you're one of the wiser ones already preparing for the inevitable end, then you've found the right place to satisfy that hunger...

I had it all—until I lost everything. Abandoned by my family, I’ve been forced into hiding in York, the city of a thousand ghosts.

If I want to survive, I’ll need allies. Friends. Not an easy feat for someone like me. Not with this hunger clawing at me—a relentless urge that puts anyone close to me in danger. It’s the reason my kind are feared. It’s the reason I’m hated. But I don’t have a choice.

Day after day, he mines in darkness, extracting materials to feed the noble house’s hunger for wealth and war.

When they tell you that history repeats itself, you should at least expect some details to change. But no, in our case, things went exactly as they did the first time: a crack in the sky, a couple of monsters a bit taller than usual, and a myriad of people who, for some reason, were surprised. Because who, honestly, wouldn't have bet on a good demon invasion every few hundred years? Although, to be fair, this time the causes are much clearer. Man always finds new ways to destroy himself. If the first time the solution came in the form of a shy librarian who unknowingly found the key to stopping the end of the world, this time it came in the form of a weak and hungry boy, who would have preferred to destroy it rather than save it. Let me ask you a question: who said that magic was reserved for muscular and dramatic warriors? No, my friends, true salvation, this time, doesn't come from paper, scrolls, and the patience of a genius, but from hunger, fear, and the will not to give up on your fate.

In the greater part of human kind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and affect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate : Tanith Lee There are moments in life when you don't know what to do. Some of these moments can be good, like when a father holds his first newborn baby for the first time and realises he has no idea what to do. Or when somoene who has worked his entire life without stop finally retires and doesn't know what to do with his free time cause he's never had any. An then there's me, somoene about to have possibly the first of many so called "worst day of my life" as I stare at what is most likely a death sentence. You see for contexe, the world I am in is a little strange. Before you make any assumptions, this isn't an isekai where I get whisked off to some fantasy world to fixe some other peoples problems. At least not completely. The world I am in is strange in the fact that about 75 years ago, give or take one or two, a massive portion of the population vanished without a trace. Freaky I know, but not as freaky as when they came back and brought with them "magic". The laws of physics seemed useless and easy to ignore for these people. They could do incredible things. Flying through the air at unimaginable speeds, shooting fire from their fingers, moving mountains with their power. Even freezing time was within their reach. It was safe to say at this point that the world was going to change forever. Now listening to all this you'd probably say, wait Lucien isn't this awesome? Magic powers and all you have to do is dissapear for a while, isn't that a pretty good trade of? And normally you'd be right, but of the approximately 100 million who dissapeared, only 13 million came back. Not very good odds. Those that came back told stories of what they had to do. The trials they had to pass. Now this isn't some tower climbing story like you probably read in those webnovels. Every trial was unique to the person. Some where easy and some landed you in the 83 million that didn't come back. And naturally like any good fantasy story, the great dissapearance, as we came to call it, didn't happen just once. And so my story begins here, in the middle of the road, 75 years after the first great disappearance, staring into dead space. I would guess that the people who saw me would find me weird, after all I was staring at nothing. But I couldn't be bothered with them right now, and the reason was that I was indeed staring at something. Something that would change my fate forever. [Congratulations challenger] [You have been selected for the trial] [You will be transported in 30 seconds] ... Fuck. Author : this novel does have a system but it's not a leveling system, so if that's what you're looking for, this might not be for you.

When a band of killers descends upon his village, Ryuu makes a desperate stand, sacrificing himself to save the only family he has left. But as death tightens its grip, a mysterious voice offers him a choice: embrace the Shadowbound System, a power that could rewrite his fate, or die forgotten.

To protect his sister and free himself from the system’s chains, Ryuu must walk a bloodstained path, balancing the line between hero and monster.
