Born to a poor family in a backwater village, he had always been small and frail, barely able to swing a sword or cast even the simplest of spells. In a realm where strength and power dictated one's fate, Xander's life seemed destined for mediocrity, or worse, failure. But fate had other plans. Captured by a dark cabal of mages, Xander was used as a test subject in forbidden experiments, subjected to excruciating pain and endless trials.

In the shadows of his escape, Xander discovered his terrifying new gift: the ability to copy the abilities of others by consuming a part of them. A single drop of blood would grant him a flicker of power, a small piece of their strength. But the more he ate—the more he devoured—the stronger he became. If he consumed a person in their entirety, he not only gained their abilities but an enhanced version, far greater than the original. The power was intoxicating, yet monstrous. Every bite was a step further into darkness, every feast a reminder of the price he paid for survival. Now, armed with this dangerous ability, Xander must navigate a world where power is everything, and those who wield it are both his prey and his greatest threat. He is no longer weak. But to what lengths will he go to ensure he never is again? Buy me coffee: https://ko-fi.com/cntvndrk
