On the Day of Fission, radiation conduits erupted and the world fell. While everyone else hid from monsters, Qian Sui was figuring out how to eat them. A cooking school instructor, he awakened the power to devour and feasted on monster cores. Crystalline claws, armored hides, and mutations could all be stir-fried. In battle, it all came down to getting the heat right. The price? Every core he swallowed added another monster's voice to his mind. The Black Tower put out a wanted notice, strongholds grew suspicious, and his teammates feared he'd turn into a monster. He wiped his crystalline left eye. “What's the rush? It hasn't reduced yet.” Would the Devourer become a monster in the end? He was determined to be the exception.
