《Devil Fruit Tree: Rise of the Ordinary Hunter》
------------In a world upended by the sudden emergence of monsters, Awakened beings, and mysterious Spirituality-infused artifacts, society struggles to maintain order as supernatural forces blur the line between ordinary life and the extraordinary.
Meng Xing, an unremarkable young man with no prestigious background and no notable Awakening talent, stumbles upon a secret that could reshape the balance of power:
the existence of the Devil Fruit Tree—a transcendent plant capable of absorbing Spirituality and producing Devil Fruits that grant abilities far beyond what the world has ever seen.
Through quiet calculation and relentless experimentation, Meng Xing discovers he can feed the tree spiritual items—anything imbued with awakened essence—and harvest powerful fruits in return. Each fruit becomes a stepping stone toward strength, autonomy, and a future no longer defined by fate.
But Meng Xing isn’t the only one fighting against the invisible chains of hierarchy.
In the South Sea City Public Security system, Tie Lin, a righteous and hardworking police director with an F-tier talent, finds his career destroyed overnight. Years of merit and sacrifice crumble under the crushing weight of nepotism, politics, and hidden supernatural agendas. When he’s abruptly demoted and left vulnerable in a hospital bed, old enemies crawl out of the darkness to finish what corruption started.
As Meng Xing rises in secret, nurturing a transcendent tree hidden from the world, the city around him begins to unravel—
• Hunters form clandestine identities behind masks.
• Spiritual items flood the black market.
• Monsters evolve faster than the authorities can contain them.
• And the Bureau itself rots from within, manipulated by unseen hands.
Two men—one cultivating forbidden power in the shadows, the other fighting a losing battle against systemic decay—are pulled into the same storm, where Spirituality defines status, talent dictates destiny, and every choice is a gamble with life and soul.
To survive in this new era, they must challenge a world where strength is currency, masks hide truth, and even the smallest fruit can overturn empires.
A tale of quiet rebellion, hidden growth, and the awakening of an ordinary man destined to uproot the old order—one Devil Fruit at a time.
