Death Heir’s Devouring System
Time had run out. Azrael hadn't been chosen by the system, leaving him Forsaken with no hope for a prosperous life.
But he wasn’t going to let it end like this. Even if it meant trading his life for a single chance, he would take it. It was either a life of greatness, one where he would reach the very top… or a short one, dying here, unmourned and forgotten by a cursed world that never cared he existed.
“An early end in pursuit of greatness sounds better than a slightly longer one filled with stagnation and regret.”
In the end, all the things he had done hadn’t been for naught. The sacrifices up until now had been worth it.

[System devoured]
[Inborn Trait is fusing with the system]
[Devouring System has been granted]
To his surprise, however, his system proved to be far more extraordinary than the others, granting him a unique path that only he could follow.
With that realization, one thing became certain: no matter what monster or human stood in his way, he would reach the very top of the hierarchy, regardless of the cost.
— A/N —
● This novel isn't a harem.
● It has romance, but it's a slow burn.
● The rating is 17+ due to heavy gore and violence.
● The MC is cold, heartless, and calculating from the beginning (which makes sense if you read the first three chapters).
● In case it's not clear, the novel draws inspiration from: Dark Souls, Elden Ring, NieR:Automata, This War of Mine, Frostpunk, Fear & Hunger, Bibliomania, Claymore and Berserk. So expect a grim world, filled with monsters beyond mortal comprehension and a deadly climate that doesn’t spare the weak or the innocent.
● The MC is strong and will become stronger, but don’t expect him to one-shot everything in sight. His power is slowly earned.
I hope you enjoy the novel.
