The Devouring Knight
Lumbering, a 42-year-old civil engineer, had grown numb to the monotonous rhythm of modern life. Hoping to rekindle his sense of wonder, he set out on a solitary nature trip, only to stumble upon an ancient, forgotten pyramid. A strange red light burst forth, killing him instantly… and binding itself to his soul.
Cast adrift in the void, his soul found no rest, until he awoke in the body of a young foot soldier, bleeding and broken on a war-torn battlefield in a world not his own.
Determined not to die again, Lumbering fights to survive in this brutal new realm, one where knights clash with monsters, empires rise and fall, and mysterious powers shape the fate of nations. Armed with a strange ability to devour the essence of those he slays, he begins to carve out a new path, one forged by blood, strength, and will.
But power alone may not be enough.
In a world where danger lurks in every shadow, and ancient forces stir in the dark, can a lost soul rise above fate, or will he be consumed by the very essence he seeks to control?
This is my first book, but I’ve been a reader like you and have gone through hundreds of stories. So, I’ll answer some of the questions you might be thinking: 1. Yes, it’s a harem—but not in the early chapters. Expect some R18 content and romance later on. 2. No yuri or yaoi. I don’t write or read that stuff. 3. The story's packed with wars, so yeah—expect blood, gore, and violence. 4. Evil MC or good MC? Depends on your perspective. He does whatever benefits him most. 5. OP MC? Not really. But he has a unique skill (as hinted in the title) that gives him an edge. 6. Smart MC? He won’t make dumb choices just to drag the plot. 7. This is gonna be long—expect 1000+ chapters. I plan to blend multiple power systems into one story. Knights, Mages, Cultivation, Gods, Angels, Demons, Monsters, Dungeons, World Travel, and many more. It won’t all show up early, but as the story goes on, it’s gonna get wild. The world will grow huge and expand far beyond the beginning.
