The Devouring Knight
Lumberling, a 42-year-old civil engineer, had grown numb to the monotony of modern life, set out on a quiet nature trip, only to stumble upon an ancient, forgotten pyramid.
A blinding red light struck him dead… yet bound itself to his soul.
Reborn in a war-torn medieval world, he awakens as a mere foot soldier, armed with one terrifying gift, the power to devour the essence of those he slays.
But this is no ordinary realm. In every shadow, enemies stir, Knights, Mages, Vikings, Cultivators, Werewolves, Vampires, Chosen, Blessed, Dragons, Murim masters, Transmigrators, Primordial Beasts, Norse and Olympian gods, entire pantheons, Angels, Demons, Elves… every myth and legend gathered in one brutal world.
“What is this place? Why are all myths in one world?”
The answer doesn’t matter. He will devour them all.
Even so, no single hero can face it all alone. Lumberling begins forging not just his own path, but himself into a true leader, commanding loyal subordinates who think for themselves, each with distinct personalities, bound by unwavering devotion. No petty betrayals, no pointless infighting, only unity.
Through sheer will and ingenuity, he discovers how to share his devoured essence with his most faithful followers, allowing them to grow stronger beside him.
Until one day, the world itself becomes their only shackle.
And when that shackle breaks, they step beyond, becoming travelers between worlds. In each realm, powerful protectors rise to meet them, caped heroes from towering cityscapes, masked legends from summer blockbusters. Icons from epic comic book universes.
Even returning to his original world brings no peace, only to discover that hunters and awakeners now walk the earth as demons, dungeons, and monstrous hordes pour into reality.
With his loyal army at his back, what will Lumberling do?
The answer is simple. Devour, Conquer, and Rise.
Note: This is a slow-burn progression and kingdom-building epic. While Lumberling’s Devour skill is strong, it is not instant omnipotence, he must train, master, and adapt to each power system as it emerges. The full saga unfolds over 500-1000 chapters of battles, growth, and conquest.
