Origin Devourer

A cataclysm struck, reducing Linjiang City to a wasteland overrun by mutated monsters. Zombies ran rampant, and mutated beasts evolved. The surviving humans huddled in fortresses, abiding by a cold law of survival of the fittest. Chen Mo unexpectedly gained the power to seize the essence of mutated beasts. He slew monsters, absorbed their essence, and continually transformed his body. He moved between the ruins and the underground utility tunnels, hunting ever-evolving mutant beasts while navigating the suspicion and probing questions of the human fortresses. In these chaotic times, monsters were terrifying, but the human heart was even harder to read. Betrayal, difficult choices, conscience, and the will to survive pulled him in every direction. When the underground insect queen awoke and the fortress's guns secretly trained on his back, Chen Mo could only grip his blade and carve out a path of evolution through essence that was his own, across this ruined land.
