At 12 noon on April 30, 2026, a hole opened in the sky.
Global catastrophe, alienation of all things. The last food a human eats determines what abilities they gain.
Food blogger Chen Han ate a deep-fried worm that day.
He has gained the power of the Insect King, and he just wants to live a better life in this new world.
The meat of alienated creatures can allow people to evolve. The evolvers are hunting each other and robbing each other of the scarce resources called "treasures of heaven and earth". Everyone wants to climb to the top of the evolutionary ladder, where the ticket to eternal life is said to be hidden.
Alienated animals and plants are quietly awakening to wisdom.
In this apocalypse where the hunter may become the prey at any time, Chen Han is both a diner and a chess piece, and may also be the one who overturns the chessboard.
"Only when you are alive can you have something to eat. Only when you eat well can you be considered alive."
