1% Devour

In the fractured ruins of a system-controlled world, Bren Kaelith is nothing.

No status. No future. No identity worth remembering.

By day, he survives as a scrap worker in the dead zones, stripping corpses and broken machines for credits barely enough to eat. By night, he dreams of escaping the brutal hierarchy that crushes people like him into dust.

Then a salvage mission goes wrong.

Very wrong.

Buried beneath a collapsing ruin and abandoned to die, Bren awakens a forbidden ability the system was never supposed to release:

1% Devour.

Every enemy he kills gives him a fraction of their strength, instincts, memories... and something far more dangerous.

The stronger Bren becomes, the less human he feels.

Now hunted by system enforcers, monstrous anomalies, and a truth buried beneath reality itself, Bren must decide what matters more:

survival...

or whatever remains of his soul.

Because the system has finally noticed him.

And it remembers what Devour did the last time it appeared.
