Ashes of the Devourer

“I wasn’t chosen. I wasn’t born special. I dug graves in a village the world forgot.

No sect. No spirit root. Just hunger.”

They say cultivation is about balance, discipline, enlightenment.

Mine started with a broken system and a dying beast. No manuals. No mentors. Just whispers that told me to take — not to ask.

Every power I’ve gained, I bled for. Every soul I’ve devoured still screams in my head.

I’m not here to transcend.

I’m here to survive. To consume. To climb over the corpses of those who thought I should kneel.

“Let the righteous ascend. I’ll build my throne from their ashes.”
