Revenge: A Path of Destruction

oyedee
Strength is a pursuit that drives us all, though for vastly different reasons. Some seek it to shield their loved ones, to stand as an unshakable wall against the world's storms. Others crave it to solidify their dominance, clinging to power with an iron grip. And then some chase strength not for protection or control but for ambition—to carve their names into history through sheer might. Yet among all the reasons that compel one to grow stronger, none is more destructive or consuming than the thirst for revenge. This path is paved with pain and fueled by suffering, and in the end, it often leads not to triumph but to ruin. Alex, a seventeen-year-old boy, watched in helpless horror as his family and clan were slaughtered before his eyes by the Four Higher clans. Powerless, he had no choice but to run. But even as he fled, one thought burned into his soul, searing deeper with every heartbeat. They will pay. Every single one of them will pay. I don’t care if I have to sell my soul to the devil— They. Will. All. Pay. Let us journey with Alex on his journey for revenge, in a world of magic.

Apocalypse Online: Starting with an SSS-level Gluttony Talent

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.
