James Allan grew up as the sole heir to one of the most powerful duke houses in the kingdom of Solene, with a kind heart that set him apart from his overbearing father. But when his father perished under suspicious circumstances, James’s world unravelled. Betrayed by his beloved wife and closest friends, he watched helplessly as they tore apart his inheritance, leaving him destitute and broken. As he drifted through the depths of despair, a dark alter ego emerged within him—a relentless, shadowed version of himself, driven by hatred and vengeance. This sinister self, whispering at his moments of hesitation, became both a curse and a source of newfound strength, pushing James to embrace his darkest instincts. ................ "They took everything from you," the voice hissed. "And you’re just going to let them walk away?" “I’m not… I can’t.” "Can’t? Or won’t?" The voice sneered. "You’re weak. They need to bleed, James. Take back what’s yours, and let them suffer for every betrayal.” ............. Setting out across the dangerous lands of Veloria, James learns magics, hones his deadly skills, and forms alliances with those who share his disdain for the powerful. Fueled by vengeance, he returns to his kingdom, weaving a web of psychological warfare and manipulation. One by one, he targets the families of those who wronged him, turning allies into enemies and planting seeds of distrust and betrayal. But as he delves deeper into his plans, the alter ego grows stronger, threatening to erase any last traces of humanity within him. With the kingdom’s nobility now trapped in his game of deceit, James stands on the edge of darkness, facing the ultimate question: Will he become the ruthless master of his fate, or be consumed entirely by the monster he has created within? In a world where power and cruelty reign, follow James Allan's descent from a man betrayed to a villain forged by vengeance—a tale of inner darkness, lost kindness, and a battle for control that will change the world forever.

After a tragic accident that claimed the lives of his parents and little sister, Leo, just 17 years old, found himself shouldering all responsibilities alone. By some miracle, he survived the past four months on his own—attending high school, juggling multiple part-time jobs, and enduring sympathetic gazes that pained him. The only respite he found was in books, which offered him an escape and some semblance of joy.

Sure, I could blame it on the irresistible taste of beast meat, but let's be honest, curiosity and a hefty dose of bad luck played their parts too. Little did I know that one impulsive snack would catapult me into a world where death lurks around every corner, hunger is a constant companion, and 'close call' becomes my middle name. From navigating the treacherous politics of the large cities to facing off against beasts that make your worst nightmares look like fluffy kittens, my life quickly became a non-stop rollercoaster of 'oh crap' moments. But this isn't just my story. It's also the tale of four others whose paths intertwine with mine in ways I never could have imagined. (Though between you and me, I'm clearly the star of this show.) Together, we're fumbling our way through a world where power comes at a price, alliances shift like sand, and the line between human and monster blurs with every bite. So buckle up, dear reader. You're in for a wild ride filled with dark humor, questionable decisions, and more adrenaline-pumping action than you can shake a spear at. Welcome to my Path as a Devourer - where staying alive is the ultimate goal, and dinner might just eat you back. Discord: https://discord.gg/EeZKdbrsHF
