the pumpkin eater novel

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

Soul Mechas were forged to punish the Eldritch Monsters that attack this world from Beyond the Glass. But they can only be powered by those who bond with ancient mythical souls from that world. Unfortunately, souls are only attracted to negative emotions: helplessness, anguish, and loss. The deeper and more wronged, the better. However, regardless of the empire's pressure on the people to produce the best Soulbound Warriors and the heavy stigma from his father's curse, Soren remains a happy boy, a dreamer. Until he ends up with the worst soulbond in history after 'The Touching Glass Ceremony.' An F-rank soul. Trash even amongst trash. Even the commoners laughed when his rank was called. Beggars in rags celebrated and claimed to be above him. But was it really the worst soul bond ever? Because, when an Eldritch monster ravages their town and kills all that he loves, Soren finds himself repeating the same day again and again, bathing in unimaginable pain and death that forces him to grow, evolve, and confront questions that plague the empire, his father's mysterious curse, soul rituals, and the Eldritchs' true goals on earth. Each loop leaves him HUNGRIER, stronger...but less human. As the lines between man, soul, and machine blur, Soren must decide the very fate of the world...

Humanity's spot at the top of the food chain was taken. Now we are the prey. Fifty years ago, the human race lost the war against the Eaters—beings that defied not just our understanding, but the laws of nature themselves. Their overwhelming strength drove humanity to the brink of extinction. Those of us who survived now live in hiding, as I have my entire life: worried about making noise, scavenging for scraps, and fleeing from shadows. But in that darkness, I found something extraordinary. A tool no human has ever discovered before: the System. With its power, I can heal my wounds, kill monsters, and perform feats I never imagined possible. Only to learn that most of the world has already been transformed by these same forces. Animals evolve into nightmarish creatures. Weapons gain deadly enchantments. Ordinary caves become treacherous dungeons. Even worse, I'm not alone in wielding this power. Other species have possessed this ability since birth. They've had generations to master what I'm only beginning to understand. But I can share this gift with other humans. I can give us a fighting chance. The question remains: will this spark of hope become just another candle snuffed by the wind, or will it ignite the blazing inferno of humanity's resurgence? What to Expect: - A monster hunting story featuring the strongest human alive, told in first person - A blend of adventure and visceral horror - The emergence and evolution of a unique System - A morally complex protagonist who understands that survival demands difficult choices Schedule: New chapters every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 10:00 AM (GMT-3)

Ethan is the leader of a group of illegal hunters who are ambitious to capture rare animals in the forests of Borneo. However, when they attempt to catch a dying dragon, Ethan's fate changes drastically. After his crew is betrayed by one of their own and killed one by one by the enraged dragon, Ethan becomes the last victim. The dragon devours Ethan whole, but inside the belly of the legendary creature, he discovers a mysterious artifact. The artifact triggers a transformation within him, transporting him to a world vastly different from Earth. In this new realm, Ethan awakens with newfound powers that allow him to devour other beings and absorb their strengths and abilities. The wounds he suffered do not weaken him; instead, they empower him. Fueled by a burning desire for revenge against the traitorous members of his crew, Ethan embarks on an adventure in this new world, filled with wild grasslands, perilous forests, and vast rivers. In this land, he seeks greater power, vowing to take revenge on those who left him to die. His new strength, derived from the heart of the dragon he consumed, grants him the ability to devour and dominate every creature he defeats. A world brimming with mysteries, dangers, and fantastic beings now becomes Ethan's battleground. With his newfound power and insatiable ambition, he moves forward with a singular goal: to become the strongest creature in this world and exact vengeance on the traitors who betrayed him.

Every night, he enters women’s dreams—and takes something they never meant to give. Dream Eaters can materialize some things deep within their own dreams by invading and devouring the dreams of others. The more intense the invasion and devouring of dreams, the richer the feedback they receive. Of the six or seven dreams a person has each day, only the last one is usually completely salvageable. Dreams, connecting desire and fear, are like a Pandora's box from which anything might jump out, existing parallel to reality. Naga, an unemployed man, survives only thanks to his parents' help. His only special ability is that he has a high probability of dreaming about things he wants to dream about while sleeping, making him an exception compared to young men who need to rely on masturbation to satisfy their sexual desires. One day, an increasingly vivid dream changes his life...

Synopsis updated as of Jan 24, 2020 -- I'll be blunt, this is also based on several other works here, and loosely related to other works like the Dragon Age games. Most of the concept for this work came from a mod for Dragon Age: Origins called Spirit Eater Class. Too lazy to explain, but it's on Nexus Mods if you need to find it. At the bottom of this synopsis will be a list of titles that I used as references and bases. The cover picture is a screenshot of one of my characters in Dragon Age: Origins killing the Archdemon. (DA:O is owned by BioWare, so while I own the screenshot, I don't own anything in the game.) Influences: -Advent of the Archmage -Dragon Age Series -The Elder Scrolls Saga -Various Mythologies

THE GUILT EATER Volume 2: The Weight of Others VOLUME 1 RECAP — What You Missed Eighty years ago, the Severance broke reality. Overnight, morality became physical. Guilt and virtue stopped being feelings and started being currency. Black Marks crawled across the skin of sinners. Golden brands burned into Saints. Memories could be ripped from your skull and sold as crystallized Shards. And the people who figured out how to control that system? They built empires on top of everyone else's suffering. That's the world Jiko woke up in with no past, no Marks, and no guilt. Not metaphorically. Literally. He cannot feel guilt. Cannot feel shame. His skin is clean where everyone else is stained, and the mechanisms that make moral weight stick to a person simply do not exist in him. He was made this way — surgically, deliberately, by an old man called the Cartographer who spent thirty years looking for a body that could carry the sins of others without breaking. Jiko is that body. A void in human shape. A man who can absorb infinite guilt and feel absolutely nothing. Volume 1 followed him from the ruins of a caravan through the guilt-markets of Ember's Rest, into the Iron Testimony's fortress, across the Wound's edge, through the Archive of Selves — and finally to the smoking aftermath of the Battle of Memory Den, where he stood over three dead Saints and seventy-three dead civilians who'd believed in something enough to die for it. The revolution wasn't supposed to happen this fast. He wasn't supposed to lead it at all. But here we are. VOLUME 2 BEGINS — The Weight of Others The battle is won. The war is just starting. And Jiko has no idea how to run a revolution. Volume 2 picks up in the ash of the first victory, and it does not let you breathe. The Choir Sanctum, the theocratic empire that hoards virtue and sells it back to the desperate, is mobilizing everything it has. The Iron Testimony, the military regime that weaponizes guilt to fuel its soldiers, is fracturing from the inside, some defecting to the revolution, others hunting it with renewed fury. And somewhere out in the Wastes, every carrier who heard what happened at the Memory Den is already walking toward Jiko with their Marks showing and their hands open. They've all heard the same story. The man who can eat your guilt. The man the Saints can't touch. The man who stood at the center of a psychic shockwave and absorbed it all and didn't die. He's becoming a symbol. He hates it. Here's what Volume 2 is actually about: It's about what happens after the miracle. After the impossible victory. After the moment where the underdog defies all odds and everyone cheers — and then the sun rises on the next day, and there are still a thousand problems, and people are still dying, and nobody has a plan beyond "we won yesterday." Jiko has to figure out how to teach people something he never learned: how to carry their conscience without being crushed by it. How to use guilt as information instead of identity. How to build a movement out of a collection of desperate, broken individuals who chose a revolution because every other option was worse.
