Synopsis

[Western Fantasy] [Alternate world] [Slow burn] [No System] [Seven Deadly Sins] [Wisecracking protagonist] [Decisive and ruthless] [Character growth] [Multiple female leads]

Unable to level up, he can only devour the world itself.

Roa, the “Failed Hero,” is a transmigrator cursed by the gods to remain forever at LV1. In the despairing depths of a dungeon labyrinth, he makes a pact with the forbidden artifact, the [Ring of Wrathful Gluttony]: devour monsters, steal their attributes, and trade hunger for power.

Omnag, the ancient demon within the ring, is both salvation and prison. It grants him the power to tear through the abyss, while whispering of hunger in his ear and feeding on his guilt and hesitation. Whenever he is on the brink of death, Omnag takes over his body, crushes his foes’ projections, and savors their fear. Meanwhile, Roa curls up in the amber depths of his consciousness, listening to an inhuman resonance rise from his own throat.

When the “Failed Hero” is revealed to be the shackle the gods fear most, and Omnag finally tastes the world through his body, Roa at last touches the truth:

He cannot level up because he himself is the key to breaking the level system.

This is the story of a soul branded “a failure,” and how, from the most humble of beginnings, he devours the arrogance of an entire world.

“Then let the world learn to fear a hungry monster!”
