Global Evolution: I’m Scarface the Carp, and I’ll Eat My Way to Becoming a Taboo

I used to be human, until betrayal sent me plunging into the river. When I opened my eyes again, I was a carp in a plastic basin at the market, a scar across my forehead, waiting to be cooked. There was no System for transmigrators here, only the bloody laws of the fish tank. The arapaima was the ruler, the alligator gar was the executioner, and in the eyes of every predator, I was nothing but... a piece of meat. But then I discovered that I could eat. Eat a scale, and I gained an iron defense. Swallow a piece of flesh, and I stole its deadly ferocity. Under the lights of selfie cameras and a barrage of onlookers' comments, I hid, endured, and struck back in a fish tank of death. I went from a piece of meat to every predator's worst nightmare. They called me “Scarface Carp,” and mockingly dubbed me “Tank Tyrant.” Until the day Meteorites rained from the sky, spiritual qi revival began, and the whole world started evolving! Cities crumbled as plants grew out of control, while animals grew gigantic as their genes reverted to ancient forms. The civilization humanity had once been so proud of became a wilderness overnight. I leapt from my shattered fish tank into a city submerged in raging floodwaters. Amid neon lights and ruins, I saw my natural enemy evolved into a nine-headed giant serpent, and ancient bloodlines awakening, mighty as mountains. Evolvers around the world ranked me as the greatest threat, because I obeyed the most primitive and terrifying law of all: Everything I see can be eaten. Everything I eat becomes mine. I ate my way from rivers to oceans, from cities to secret realms. Every ancient bloodline I swallowed pushed me closer to the pinnacle of life's hierarchy. When my enormous, dragon-patterned body crushed its way over the ruins, all living beings finally realized: The “Scarface Carp” they had once watched, bet on, and mocked had become, on its path to devouring heaven and earth, the only living taboo of the global evolution era.
