Over The Hedge Turtle Eats Bark

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

[Kill decisive + not Madonna + horizontal push + invincible + violent.] Lin Yu, an ordinary and tired young man in modern society, the pressure of life and the confusion of his heart make him drink to drown his sorrows on his birthday and get hung up on the street. However, the cogs of fate turned quietly while he was drunk. A mysterious light suddenly appeared, instantly embroiled him in an unknown space, and when he woke up, he was already in the mysterious realm of cultivation.

Shuang Yue, originally an ordinary young man, unexpectedly awakened a mysterious power within him during an unforeseen incident—a inner universe capable of rewriting laws at will and absorbing the essence of other worlds. This power endowed him with the potential to devour other worlds and alter fate, yet it also plunged him into the turbulent waves of the cosmic order. As his inner universe awakened, Shuang Yue gradually devoured other worlds, acquiring various authorities over laws and abilities. However, he soon realized that he was not the only one treading this path of evolution. Other powerful individuals who had awakened the power of devouring were also stirring—some united to resist external enemies, while others sought to monopolize the cosmic authority, engaging in both overt and covert struggles. Even more terrifying was that the will of the Heavenly Dao seemed to detect this anomaly, attempting to maintain the cosmic order and suppress these "aberrations." Meanwhile, the lingering wills from the devoured worlds, and even invaders from higher dimensions, began to retaliate against the present world. Amid this intricate and interwoven battlefield, Shuang Yue continuously pushed his limits, seeking greater possibilities on the brink of life and death. After enduring countless trials and life-and-death confrontations, he finally mastered the true mysteries of his inner universe, transcending the limits of a devourer and reweaving the cosmic laws. When the dust settled, Shuang Yue had become the true master of the universe, ushering in a new era—and this, perhaps, was the true beginning of his devouring evolution...

[ COMPLETED ] *** SNEAK PEAK *** [ MATURE CONTENT ] "Do you know what we do to thief's here, Evanna?" She placed her fork of meat down on the plate soundlessly, her attention still on the king. Evanna subconsciously held onto the knife still. "No, your highness," Evanna replied politely. The king glanced at the prince, and she followed his gaze. "We chop off their hands," The prince finished. Evanna watched and pulled her hand back in time for the prince's knife to slam into the table where her hand was placed. She gasped; another hand had been stabbed, sticking them to the wood. A loud yelp sounded from behind her. Within a flash, the prince stood up, pulled a sword out from his side, and swung it down on the man's wrist, dismembering the hand from his body. Blood squirted out and coated the table before her, along with her plate of food. The man fell back, wailing and holding his wrist. Evanna watched in shock as the guards came forwards and dragged him away. She looked back at the prince, who was wiping his blade with a handkerchief nonchalantly before sheathing it. Her attention was brought back to the king, who continued to eat as though nothing had happened. "Just remember that the next time you wish to steal from us." The king said lightly as he relaxed his cutlery and stared at Evanna, "You may be my son's new plaything, dressed up to look pretty, but do not fool yourself into thinking that he will release you once he is bored of you. You took something of great importance to him." ------------------- DISCLAIMER: *MATURE CONTENT* Graphic Violence Strong Language Sexual Content Attempted Rape ----------------- Book Cover Design: I own the book cover so please do not use it :) Artwork illustrated by @if.__art Graphic design done by @katielord.designs Both found on Instagram^^ ------------------- Support me on Instagram: @kelly_starrz or join me on discord where you can chat to me/ ask questions: Kelly_Starrz#5020 Discord server: https://discord.gg/MHMdRRqUYa --------------------
