   The first book's protagonist, Luo Yan, is bizarre from the start, able to steal the abilities of those he eats. He's accidentally discovered while feeding and infiltrates the 749 Bureau. An absolute egoist, he kills friends, teammates, and subordinates alike, regardless of good or bad, simply to survive. Anyone who stands in his way is an enemy. The protagonist later leaves the 749 Bureau to build his own organization. There is no romantic pairing. The second book's protagonist, Zhou Ke, appears to be a good person on the surface, but I suggest you read on; you'll discover he's an absolute egoist. The book features card elements, a protagonist with contrasting personalities, clear logic, and deep foreshadowing. There is also no romantic pairing.
