"While the whole world cries out for 'love and peace,' he survives on 'rage' and 'despair.'"
In the near future, the "World-Purification System" arrives, forcibly eradicating every negative emotion in humanity. Anger is poison, sadness is illness, and fear is a crime. The world is "peaceful," but lifeless.
Ye Sha is an outcast struggling at the bottom of society. By chance, he gains a forbidden ability: "devouring the negative emotions sealed away by the System." Other people's fury is his fuel, and their buried resentment is his feast. He becomes the only "monster" in this sunlit society, drawing strength from the shadows and growing ever more dangerous and powerful.
But power comes at a price. The more he devours, the more he hears terrifying whispers from the darkness and sees the twisted souls beneath the mask of "happiness." Worse still, Bai Xi, a hunter from the "Emotional Purification Bureau," has set her sights on him. The device in her hands, capable of detecting "emotional contamination," is blaring an ear-piercing alarm.
When Ye Sha devours a "millennium grudge crystal" powerful enough to kill a god, he gains not only the key to uncovering the core secrets of the "World-Purification System," but also awakens a terrifying entity slumbering in the depths of the data abyss...
He walks through the darkness, devouring the world's malice. Is he the poison that will save the world, or the calamity that will destroy it? In this false utopia, only a devourer can tear open the flesh of the truth!
