(AI Generated Cover) “Compassion. What is compassion? Is it strength, or weakness. Is it a sign of naivety or experience. Like most things it treads the thin line of ruin and preservation, it’s true meaning known only to gods.

He had fought and joined the army, bringing honour to the republic. Of course, then his whole family got killed. Then he got killed. By a kid. With a gun. After that he got slapped by a deity and wacked inside a novel he had been reading. Was he the main character? Was he living a life of riches and joy? Was he gifted cheats and powers beyond belief? No. That was the simple answer. His life was shit, reincarnated into some minor antagonist. And not even a minor antagonist that appears in the main storyline. No! He was some crappy minor antagonist briefly mentioned in one of the main character’s backstories. I mean thank god I’m not the protagonist, that sounds like way too much effort, but come on! Give me something at least! But no, even in this life Reshi, reborn as the disgraced noble Arthur Gravewalker would have to fight for everything. He would have to struggle and suffer and claw his way to strength, so that finally. He might actually be able to live in peace.

Akondo lived a very normal life until that day after his 18th birthday. What initially seemed like a heart attack rapidly turned into a nightmare as he was informed about an overwhelming power—the ability to consume souls by taking over another person's body. His first victim, unfortunately, was his mother. Unable to understand this terrifying ability now controlling his life, Akondo realizes he has to feed on a soul every 24 hours just to survive. Though he tries to fight against the temptation in the beginning, each day the humanity in him chips away. The more he uses his power, the more Akondo starts to lose himself to the darkness within.

The weight of each consumed soul warps his mind further and further, inching him closer to madness. Akondo's moral compass shatters, and soon he crosses a line, turning into a remorseless serial killer. This is a story of how Akondo descends into darkness, whereby his struggle to survive takes him down a path from which there may not be any return, and from which only death can completely stop him. Who will stop him, then? Perhaps somebody has the counter to that move.
