Heaven-Devouring Dragon: From Dust to the Core
From the Outermost Dust to the blazing Core, Boundaries rule all—and Alex was born to break them.
Stolen at birth from the sacred skies and hurled to tiny Earth, Alex loses his divine bloodline but awakens something older and far more dangerous: the Ancestral Devouring Engine—a living, heaven-defying treasure that eats laws, swallows boundaries, and keeps a ledger of every debt owed. With a hunger that refines thunder into strength and injustice into interest, Alex climbs from the lowest veil toward the Heart of All Things to reclaim what was stolen, settle the ledger, and unmask the hand that threw him down.
Each realm he conquers feeds the Engine, forging treasures that evolve as he does:
Dragon Furnace: a heart-cauldron that refines devoured energy and law into higher Essence.
Ledger of Annihilation: marks enemies with karmic debt and returns stolen power—with interest.
Boundary Mirror: reflects edicts, turns fortresses into doors, and unravels false “impossibles.”
Voidscale Mantle: armor woven from swallowed spells that grows tougher each battle.
Gatebrand: portable, evolving gateways that step across layers—and one day, through Keepers’ walls.
But the heavens have their own secrets. In the Low Heavens, Alex crosses paths with Ilyra of the Star-Feathered Court—an enigmatic girl from a different race whose hidden identity can rewrite fate itself. Hunted by ancient clans for the sealed Core-Feather in her soul, she travels the realms as a nameless guide, hiding wings sharp enough to pierce edicts. His devouring mouth and her heaven-writing quill are a forbidden resonance: together they can erase laws—and author new ones.
Old families, collectors of stolen arts, demon rifts, and even the Keepers of the Boundaries move to stop a boy who says “no” to the rules of creation. With each layer Alex ascends, the Devouring Engine wakes further, treasures evolve, allies reveal true blood, and the path narrows toward the Core—where a sleeping dragon waits and the final debt comes due.
Why you’ll be hooked:
OP growth with a law-devouring “system” that turns enemy techniques and edicts into evolving treasures.
Realm-hopping progression through layered universes, each with a Boundary to break and a Keeper to outwit.
A heroine of a powerful nonhuman clan, hiding a world-shaking identity and a perfect synergy with the MC.
High-stakes vengeance, cosmic politics, and clever combat that makes “impossible” a temporary condition.
