Fate would have to work its magic to reunite Haylie with the man she loved and to give her the chance to reclaim her life. But time was running out, and the battle for her soul had only just begun.

In a future where Rifts unleash monsters upon the world, humanity’s survival depends on awakeners—individuals born with the ability to fight back. Eren Vale, broke and powerless, wasn’t supposed to be one of them. But after losing his best friend to a Rift, Eren awakens a mysterious System that offers him immense power at a cost: the Abyssal Devourer. --- Eren: "Wait, wait, wait. Let’s make one thing clear—I didn’t ask for this System. It forced itself on me. And it’s the most annoying thing in my life, second only to this author." A/N: "Annoying? I gave you the power to literally eat your enemies and grow stronger!" Eren: "Yeah, and you also gave me a System that roasts me 24/7, made me an F-Rank, and sent me to fight goblins with a glorified butter knife. What’s next? Fighting a dragon with a toothpick?" A/N: "Character growth, Eren. You’ll thank me later." --- Armed with Devour, a skill that allows him to consume enemies and evolve, Eren ventures into deadly dungeons to grow stronger. But power draws attention: the Association mistrusts him, hunters mock him, and a cult whispers of Zarketh, a Sovereign Beast capable of ending the world. With betrayals, assassins, and a snarky System, Eren must fight to uncover the truth behind the Rifts and his own abilities—before Zarketh descends. --- Eren: "Truth? You mean the fact that you don’t even know why the System chose me? Admit it—you’re winging this." A/N: "That’s rich coming from the guy who forgot to buy health potions before fighting the Goblin Chief." Eren: "Because you made me poor!" Editor: "Shut up, you both. Let him finish the synopsis." --- Packed with action, humor, and unexpected twists, God of Humans is a thrilling ride where power comes at a cost and survival means rewriting destiny. Will Eren rise to become humanity’s protector, or will the System consume him first? Eren: "Finally. Though if you have questions, just comment , and I’ll personally set the record straight." A/N: "Or you could ask me—" Editor: "I said shut up!" A/N: "I post 2 times weekly, Sunday and Wednesd-" Editor: "Shut upp!!"
