[Western Fantasy] [Nonhuman Protagonist] [Devouring Evolution] [Dungeon Management] [System] [Single Female Lead]
Thorn transmigrates to another world. When he opens his eyes, he discovers that he has become a wooden mimic chest that cannot move.
No arms or legs, and no way to escape.
If he doesn't eat a living creature within six hours, he'll starve to death.
Fortunately, he awakens the Devouring Evolution System. Consuming flesh and blood can heal his injuries, killing enemies lets him level up and evolve, and he can even plunder his prey's memories, talents, and abilities.
And so, an unusual chest appears in a dark labyrinth.
Adventurers want to open it and claim the treasure?
They'd better leave their lives behind first.
Monsters want to carry him back to their lair?
Perfect. He could use a few beasts of burden.
From a shabby wooden box that can only lie in wait for prey, to a mimic chest that hunts from a minecart; from recruiting his first goblin to seizing an alchemical labyrinth and building an underground domain for monsters...
At first, Thorn only wanted to survive until tomorrow.
Later, he started feeding the goblins, putting wheels on the minecart, and preparing funerals for greedy adventurers along the way.
Until the kingdom's allied forces arrive at the labyrinth. Thorn slowly opens his lid, lined with sharp teeth.
