The Goblin Who Devoured Fate – Synopsis
Leon was just another ordinary man—until his untimely death led to an unexpected reincarnation as a weak, nameless goblin at the bottom of the food chain. In a world ruled by monsters, warlords, and ancient powers, survival is a cruel game where the weak are destined to perish.

But fate has other plans. Gifted with the Devourer’s Mark and a mysterious System Interface, Leon gains the power to absorb the strength, skills, and memories of those he defeats. His system grants him the ability to see detailed stats, weaknesses, and hidden information about others—knowledge that no one else possesses.

With every battle, he evolves—growing stronger, smarter, and more dangerous than any goblin before him. As he carves his path through blood and chaos, he attracts allies, enemies, and powerful women drawn to his unstoppable rise. A cold and deadly elf assassin, a fierce dragon-kin warrior, and a cunning demon princess—all with their own ambitions, yet bound to his destiny.

Hunted by gods, feared by kings, and envied by monsters, Leon must decide: will he become a ruler of his own fate, or will his hunger for power consume him?

The Goblin Who Devoured Fate

The chamber was silent—too silent. The only sounds were our footsteps and the faint dripping of water from the ceiling.

I swallowed hard. Something was here.

Rhia stepped closer to the shrine, her silver hair gleaming in the dim light. "Leon, these markings… they feel wrong."

I wasn't an expert in ancient symbols, but even I could tell the carvings were unnatural. Twisting, jagged lines spiraled across the stone, forming patterns that seemed to shift when I wasn't looking.

[System Notification!]

[Warning: Presence of Sealed Entity Detected][Interference with System Functions Detected]

My breath hitched. Interference? That had never happened before.

Low. Ancient. Hungry.

"A goblin... with eyes that see... intriguing."

The voice echoed in my skull, sending a sharp chill down my spine. I staggered back, clutching my head.

Rhia grabbed my arm. "Leon? What's wrong?"

I blinked, my vision swirling. The shrine—the walls—the entire room seemed to twist for a brief moment, then return to normal.

But now, I felt it.

A presence. Watching. Waiting.

I forced myself to breathe. Stay calm. "There's something trapped here… and it knows we're here too."

Rhia's grip on her dagger tightened. "Then we should leave. Now."

But then the ground trembled.

And the shrine began to crack.

Unsealing the Unknown

A deep, guttural laugh filled the air.

"You, goblin… You hold the system's gift. I can feel it."

My heartbeat pounded in my ears.

This thing could sense my system?

A long, jagged fissure split across the shrine, revealing a dark void beneath.

A black mist seeped out, coiling like living shadows.

I took an instinctive step back. Every instinct screamed at me to run.

[Entity Recognized: ??? (Sealed)][Requirement Met: Catalyst for ??? Unlocked][Would you like to Accept?][Y/N]

The catalyst? Was this the missing piece of my locked skill?

But accepting it meant interacting with whatever was inside this shrine.

Rhia looked at me, her silver eyes filled with concern. "Leon… what's happening?"
