[Apocalyptic Isolated City + System Devouring + Infinite Evolution + Ruthless Combat + Face-Slapping]
The upper-class plutocrats monopolize the resources needed to evolve. Want to get stronger? Then kneel and be their dog. The City Defense Force is divided into rival factions. If you don't know the rules, they'll break your bones.

Zhou Qi, a “lowly commoner” from the lowest level of the Sinking Zone, has a mind brimming with potential, but a lack of resources keeps him from growing. Now the alien bugs are coming. Are poor people like us really doomed to wait for death? At the crucial moment, his System awakens. While others have a one-in-nine chance of surviving an encounter with the bugs, he absorbs them with 100% efficiency and no losses!
By day, he's a restaurant lackey shaken down by gangsters. By night, he becomes the “Nightmare of the Swarm,” devouring flesh, plundering genes, and unlocking lost technology. From bone blades to mechs to the divine sequence, he evolves all the way!

“Today I hold the long spear. When will I bind the Azure Dragon?”
