When Lin Che awoke after a century frozen in ice, the world had become an unfamiliar hellscape.
Once a student in an ivory tower, he was now the only “ancient” left after the fall of civilization. Deadly mutated creatures prowled among the ruins, but more dangerous than the monsters were the fanatical believers who worshipped “purification.”
Fortunately, Lin Che had not lost everything. At his lowest point, a mysterious gene within him awakened: he could [devour] the genes of all things and claim their powers!
Devouring a “Shadow Wolf” gave him night vision and agility; devouring an “Ironhide Rhino” granted him unmatched defense. In no time, he evolved from a frail scholar into a human-shaped disaster beast.
But the cost of power followed him like a shadow. The ceaseless “whispers of the gods” in his mind constantly tried to consume his sanity, while his endless longing for his family and the old world was the last remnant of his humanity he had to hold on to.
On this shattered land, he was both a lone wolf pursuing the truth and the spark that would rekindle civilization.
Joining forces with a beast-eyed girl raised in the wilderness, Lin Che would face enemies bent on erasing all history. Armed with the wisdom of the old world and the power of the new, he would embark on a journey to devour the gods and reach the summit.
“I am no remnant of history. I am the answer to the future.”
