Reincarnated as a...What?!: Devourer of Metal
When an ordinary construction worker meets an unfortunate end in a freak accident, he expects to wake up in the afterlife—or not at all. Instead, he finds himself reborn in a dark underground world… as a tiny, nearly blind Steelvore Beetle, a species long thought to be extinct.
With a frail body, minuscule mandibles, and barely functional eyes, survival seems impossible—until he discovers his unique ability: he can consume and assimilate metal to evolve.
From rusty scraps to enchanted mithril, every bite makes him stronger, hardening his exoskeleton, sharpening his mandibles, and even granting resistance to magic. But the deeper he burrows into this unknown world, the more dangerous it becomes. Predators lurk in the shadows, dungeons hide ancient secrets, and powerful factions would do anything to control a creature with his terrifying potential.
Will he rise from the depths as a monstrous force, or will he be crushed before reaching his full power?
One thing is certain—he won’t stop eating until he becomes the strongest being in this world!
