IM AN ORC?

He died a nobody. He woke up as something worse. Aiden Cross spent thirty-two years being overlooked, underpaid, and underestimated. When his heart finally gave out in a hospital bed with no one at his side, he figured that was the end. No grand exit. No second chances. Just silence. He was wrong. He opens his eyes to the stench of blood and stone, a body that isn't his and a clan of orcs that see him as nothing more than leftover meat. He is the smallest. The weakest. The one nobody bothers to name. In the brutal hierarchy of the Black-Tusk Clan, he is less than nothing. But Aiden Cross did not survive thirty-two years of being stepped on without learning one thing: how to wait, how to watch, and exactly when to strike. A System awakens inside him — one built not on brute strength, but on hunger. The DEVOUR ability lets him consume the essence of everything he kills, evolving beyond the limits of his race, and a stat unlike any other begins to climb: Desire. The higher it rises, the more the world bends to his will. The more those around him begin to notice him. Want him. Follow him. He starts at the bottom. He will not stay there. From a whelp named Ruk clawing for scraps, to a High Orc commanding war parties. From a mountain cavern, to an empire that stretches across the continent. From a single, desperate survivor, to a king surrounded by the most dangerous and beautiful women in the world — each one bound to him not by chains, but by choice. This is not a story about a hero saving the world. This is a story about a man who was given nothing, and decided to take everything. Kingdoms will fall. Bloodlines will bend. And the world will learn the name it once refused to give him. ____________________________________ Hello my name is SirPerry, this is an idea based off a couple anime I had watched and I wished there was more to the story. After a long waiting anticipation I eventually starting creating my own outline of a story to satisfy that need to read/watch more. Only use of ai to help create illustrations of characters to better help readers visualize them while reading. I use spell checker in the computer itself and it will sometimes leave things uncorrected, please let me know and I will fix incorrect spelling errors.
