"The experiment is a failure. Incinerate the subject."
Those were the last words Kael Hayes heard before darkness took him. For five years, he had been a prisoner of the Whitmore family, tortured and experimented on for a bloodline he didn't even know he possessed. When his "value" ran out, he was thrown into the incinerator like common trash.
They thought he was dead. They were wrong.
Reborn in the fires of agony, Kael awakens the [Devourer System]. In a world reshaped by mana, dungeons, and the System Apocalypse, Kael discovers he is no longer human. He is a Hybrid—a chimera of Vampire and Dragon—with the ability to consume the essence of anything he kills.
[Devour Activated.]
[Target: S-Rank Dragon.]
[Acquiring Ability: Dragon's Breath...]
He doesn't just level up; he evolves. But in a world where the powerful hunt the weak and families betray their own blood, brute strength isn't enough. Kael must become something worse than a monster. He must become a Villain.
Armed with a cold, calculating mind and an insatiable hunger, Kael embarks on a path of vengeance. He will seduce the daughters of his enemies to infiltrate their strongholds. He will break the women who tortured him. He will hunt the brother who left him behind.
From the depths of the Dragon Bones dungeon to the high-tech fortresses of the Founding Families, Kael will carve a bloody path to the top.
Why be a hero when you can eat the gods?
"Mercy is for the weak. I am what the strong fear."
