She Baths With Their Blood

In the span of a year, I lost my entire family. My father was killed in a helicopter crash with my grandfather. My mother was condemned by society and lost her life at the hands of the patient’s family. My eldest brother worked himself to death trying to hold everything together. My second brother was destroyed by the entertainment world he once loved. And my youngest sister, barely eighteen, was bullied to the point of suicide. When I returned home after a few years abroad, all that was left of them were ashes and whispers. Now, with my hawk-like relatives circling the family legacy my bloodline built for over a century, I have only one way to keep it from being devoured. Marriage. It was the condition for me to receive it. So I chose a stranger. Not just any stranger, the coldest one I could find. A man who wouldn’t flinch even if I drowned the world in blood. He looked at me from across his office, his eyes sharp, unreadable. “Why should I marry you?” he asked. “Just because of that century-old inherita—” “I don’t care about that,” I cut him off. He frowned, annoyed or intrigued, I couldn’t tell. “All I’m saying,” I told him. “Is that I can give you an entertainment you’ll never forget.” He said nothing. Just stared. So I stood, walked to his window, and watched the city spread beneath us. “Don’t you think this place is already too boring?” I asked softly. “I plan to run amok. To turn this country upside down. Maybe even the world.” When I turned back to him, there was something different in his gaze. Interest. Maybe danger. “I don’t care about the money,” I said. “But I won’t let them have a single cent. I’ll use every drop of it to wreak havoc…” A cold smile tugged at my lips. “…and let blood rain.” He raised a brow, the corner of his mouth curving slightly. “Oh,” he said. “That is indeed… interesting.”

My Gluttony System: I Devour God-Tier Talents

‎Brett died looking at the wrong thing at the wrong time. a stupid, meaningless end to an unremarkable life. ‎ ‎He wakes up as Kyrie in a body that was never meant to be mortal, in a world where Victorian empires run on steam and ambition, where warrior races prove worth through combat, and aristocrats with prophetic abilities play games with futures yet unwritten. ‎ ‎A voice in his head calls itself the Gluttony system. It whispers about fragments scattered across dimensions, memories he must recover, and a destiny written in divine sacrifice. ‎ ‎Even as he grows stronger, he becomes less himself. Possessing powers that feel ancient, hungry and unstoppable. Powers that've been waiting to reclaim what was always theirs. ‎ ‎The world is dying. Dimensional barriers crack as monsters born from despair tear through the threads between realms. ‎ ‎Nations stand at odds on the edge of war. And the very fragments Kyrie needs to survive are the very seals holding back an apocalypse. ‎ ‎He didn't ask for this power. He doesn't crave godhood. But the universe has never cared what mortals wanted. ‎ ‎Brett wanted to survive. Kyrie has no choice but to devour. ‎ ‎In a world where identity is currency and power is everything, the only question that matters now is when the last fragment slots into place, who will be left to answer for what he's become? ‎ ‎------- ‎ ‎I  Adapt,  Consume, To  Transcend. ‎ ‎
