Glutton For Punishment

I Got Reincarnated as a Gluttonous King with a System

I was nobody—a faceless drone, slaving away at a meaningless job in the modern world. But fate—or perhaps something far more sinister—had other plans. One moment, I was staring at the rain-slick asphalt of a street I'd never cross. The next, I woke up in a world torn straight from fantasy, staring down at hands that weren't my own. I was not only in another world; I was inside the body of King Alaric Varelius—dead, bloodied, and betrayed. In a next few moments, chaos engulfed me. Assassins came attacking me, and before I even get to scream, a voice in my head whispered to me: Skill Activated: Gluttony. When I woke up, I was covered in their blood, their strength flowing through my veins, and a glowing status window hovered before my eyes. It said one thing: in this world, power isn't earned—it's taken. But death is far from being the end for me. Each time I die, I revert to the same damned moment of rebirth—becoming the dead king once again. Wielding the skill Gluttony and replete with experience garnered through multiple lives, I vow to cut out my path towards survival. The kingdom I now rule teeters on the brink of collapse, plagued by treacherous nobles, ancient grudges between races, and whispers of a Demon King's impending invasion. It's clear what I'm here to do: unify the races, strengthen the kingdom, and uncover the mystery of why King Alaric—and now I—was marked for death. Every death teaches me something new. Each enemy I slay adds their strength along with their memories into mine. But the stronger it gets, the less one can control and harness it. More so, with each successive life taken, the hunger gains momentum. Can an ordinary nobody like me, a man, really be the king this broken world needs? Or will I lose myself to the darkness within before the final battle even begins? One thing’s for certain: I’ll die trying. Again. And again.

Gluttonous System Holder

Thousands of years passed since humanity existed. Achieving societal evolutions through modern technologies made human capabilities advance further to the extent that humans started inhabiting the nearest habitable planet Mars, and even go beyond residing the habitable satellites, while extracting usable minerals and materials from other celestial bodies in the entire solar system they've known for centuries. There existed unbalanced treatment between poor and rich that should have been resolved throughout the decades but greed took over the social structure after the founding new Earth Era executives died and succeeded with unworthy executive candidates. ---- While rich people enjoy living the life beyond fullest, the poor were scattered throughout the forsaken realms of the Earth, and got to live modestly while enduring the scarcity of supplies needed, neither the human organizations nor rich considered these forsaken inhabitants as human. One starry evening on one of the Earth's forsaken realm - Hellish Pit, there a lone forsaken inhabitant got abandoned by his adult companions. He's Neil, just turned 5 years old the day he was left alone in one of the considerably deserted island among the lands known as Forsaken Realms. Aside from Technological advancements, humans did evolved a step further when it comes to capabilities. Rich people were amongst the talented individuals, possessing their innate evolutionary talents, aided by technology they can afford and prestigious schools to attend, they enhanced these talents well, on the other hand, amongst poor, there were also some promising people and hence the scattered forsaken guilds often invest money on procuring aiding technology and books to hand over with these people while those devoid of luck amongst themselves got abandoned in places that forsaken realm inhabitants wouldn't even dare to think about residing. It was due to their quite irrationally rational thinking, - building their forsaken society made of strong people bound to yield greater good than keeping those untalented individuals. Aside from the lack of technology, humans still need to think about their basic necessities after all, such as food and water, though forsaken people adapted well enough in their environment, this isn't something that can be taken lightly when it comes to food and water supply. The strong must survive - says the founding and current leaders in the forsaken realm. Neil, a innocent, loving, intellectual child that just got 5 years old was abandoned after his father who was the head of Resistor Forsaken Realm Organization - one of the big organizations existed in the forsaken region, got assassinated, while his mother died after giving him birth. With his mom long gone, and his father's sudden death, there was no one to take care of him nor the high-ranking executives of organization wants too. Discarding the successor of the organization is the best way to relieve their greed after all, all these high executives have to do was fake the child's death, and the lower ranking people can't do anything about the situation than to be bound by the greedy new highest executives of the most respected and fair organization amongst the running company in the land of desolated people. Neil the unsuspecting child who lacks the protection from dangers of the world in a such a young age got himself shut from things he deserves. Now being left alone, scared, and hungry, his adventure begins.
