se7en gluttony

“The son of god Gula has returned.” I was lost in the world of gambling. I turned my back on my family and even betrayed my lover. I wasted every day of my life. It was the life of trash. The reality told me thus - that I would amount to nothing no matter what I did. In order to change my pathetic life, I chose fantasy, instead. Even then, it was the same story. I wondered if salvation would come at the end of the long road. But, I was forced to kneel down in defeat in front of a powerful entity. The tower I built up with my own hands crumbled into nothingness. Just for once, I dearly wished to know the truth about myself. – Come closer, my child… I will not hold back this time. ⓒ Ro Yu Jin, Wuxiaworld, FudgeNouget / BIFROST 2021

# consume Lu Yu, a foodie, transmigrated to a parallel world where all living beings on Earth had awakened to superpowers. Fearsome Beasts rampaged everywhere and the lives of mankind were threatened. When they came of age, youths would awaken their talents at the various martial arts dojos. They would then use their talents to protect their homeland. Lu Yu awakened the power of Gluttony, an SSS-class talent. His strength would increase every time he consumed the flesh of Fearsome Beasts. His spiritual soul would grow stronger every time he consumed their cores. In other words, he was what he ate and he grew stronger by eating. Apparently, the effect of Gluttony would even intensify when he consumed more high-end raw ingredients and better cooking methods. As such, he embarked on the journey of becoming stronger through eating. [Ding! Detected that host has consumed the flesh of a B-class king cobra. Acquired: Attribute of Poison Immunity.] [Ding! Detected that host has consumed the heart of an A-class firebird. Obtained: Skill of Erupting Lava.] [Ding! Detected that host has consumed the nerves of an SSS-class white dragon. Acquired: Talent of Endless Rebirth.] While the others wailed, “The monsters are here! Run!”, the monsters howled, “Lu Yu is here! Run!” Lu Yu thought, “Standing at the top of the food chain feels nice!”

The Tower of Sins... A majestic Tower that appeared in the world just as the world had lost all hopes. Humanity was near extinction in the apocalypse brought forth by the appearance of Monsters in the once peaceful world. Their last hope... The mystical tower that had appeared out of nowhere became the shelter of humanity. The humans that took shelter in the tower were many; amongst them were a few that were selected by the Tower itself. These Humans were known as the Lord of Sins, who received abilities from the tower itself. As for what abilities, no one knew... All people knew was that the abilities they received were related to the biggest sin they committed in life. They were all given one task... Climb the tower and reach the top to receive incredible strength and freedom. Only Lord of Sins and the people they selected were authorized to climb and go up, facing hardships. They were the gods of the Tower! The rest... They were left behind on Floor Zero. Amongst the humans left behind was Azekiel... A human who had never committed even a single sin in his life. Until... A single sin can change a person's life. What happens when a good man commits a sin worthy of making him a Lord of Sin? The legend of Sins is about to unfold that can threaten reality itself, bringing forth many unimaginable secrets of the world!

Cain Sinthorne, the youngest of seven royal sons, was born with a skill so useless the kingdom branded him a disgrace. Consume, a passive effect that slightly boosts the potency of food and potions, earned him nothing but scorn. His family ignored him. The court mocked him. The nobles laughed behind his back. Only his best friend and his lover treated him like a person. Only they believed in him. Or so he thought. Lured into a beginner dungeon under the promise of training, Cain is betrayed and left for dead. Alone in the depths and on the brink of death, he stumbles into a sealed chamber hidden beneath the ruins. Inside lies a soul long forgotten. An immortal once revered as a savior, then cursed as the world's greatest villain. Their hatred, their sorrow, their rage—they are the same. When Cain awakens, he inherits not just the immortal’s memories but the truth behind his skill. Consume was never worthless. It was incomplete. Its true name is Gluttony, a power that feeds on monsters, skills, magic, and even souls. Cain will rise from the dungeon the world buried him in. And when he does, he will show them what it means to be consumed.

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. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all, forgotten within all the chaos. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The demon 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-Rank Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Spiked Rat] [Acquired: Strength +1, Agility +1.4, Endurance +0.6, Vitality +0.6, Mana +0.4] [You have devoured: Dire Wolf — Alpha Variant] [Acquired: Strength +4.1, Agility +6.5, Endurance +2.2, Vitality +3.1, Mana +2.9, Skill: Dash (E-rank)] [You have devoured: Red Orc King] [Acquired: Strength +65.3, Agility +52.3, Endurance +72, Vitality +69.1, Mana +50.3, Skill: Rockbound (C-rank)] Now, there is no demon, no god, no monster who will stand in his way. He will devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword. If he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed. —————— Bonus Chapter requirement: 100 golden tickets for one bonus chapter!

In the rain-drenched streets of a city that never fully reveals itself, Nora Vale is haunted by the disappearance of her older brother, Leo—two years gone without a trace. All that remains are fragments: a cryptic voicemail left on a stormy night, a worn key hidden in the lining of his coat, clothes still spinning in the laundromat where he was last seen, and a trail of half-remembered conversations that feel increasingly unreliable. Determined to uncover what happened, Nora begins peeling back the layers of Leo’s carefully constructed life—only to discover that the brother she thought she knew was a man of secrets, debts, and quiet obsessions. As she ventures deeper into the city’s shadowed underbelly—abandoned storage units, dimly lit bars where people speak in half-truths, forgotten hard drives, and people who claim they never met him—Nora starts questioning not just Leo’s fate, but her own memories. The city itself seems complicit, blurring the lines between what was real, what was hidden in plain sight, and what was deliberately forgotten. The Half-Seen City is a slow-burn psychological mystery about grief, family lies, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive loss. In a world where perception is unreliable and every answer only reveals more questions, Nora must decide how far she’s willing to go to see the truth—before it consumes her entirely.

Six months ago, Nivaan Sharma vanished without a trace. No goodbye texts, no digital footprints, no CCTV—nothing. MindMesh, the emotion-tracking corporation he worked for, buried the incident in a footnote, and life moved on. Now… he’s back. Except—he doesn’t remember leaving. He doesn’t remember what he did. He doesn’t remember who he hurt. The people closest to him react like he’s a walking crime scene. Avni watches him like she’s analyzing evidence. Kiyan treats him like a dying star, ready to explode. And Ira—the wildcard—slaps him before she hugs him, which honestly tracks. When MindMesh publicly welcomes him back, every screen in the office glitches with a message: WELCOME BACK, NIVAAN. WE MISSED WATCHING YOU. Worse—Nivaan hears a distorted voice whispering warnings… in his own tone. Something happened during those six missing months— something dangerous, illegal, or unforgivable— and someone wants the truth to stay buried. As he digs deeper, reality fractures: friends turn suspect, lovers turn liars, and MindMesh turns predator. Nivaan’s memory is the only weapon he doesn’t have— and without it, he’s just another piece of data waiting to be deleted. In a world where emotions are surveilled and secrets are currency, Nivaan must decide: What’s scarier— the truth he’s forgotten… or the truth everyone else remembers?

A blindfolded woman. A captor who speaks calmly to the camera. And a video the whole world can’t stop watching. Late one night, a disturbing clip goes viral—showing a young woman tied up, her captor’s voice echoing in the dark. While the internet debates whether it’s real, her boyfriend reports her missing. The victim is Mitra, a software engineer and small-time social activist… and the key witness in an unresolved kidnapping from two weeks earlier. Trapped and threatened, Mitra refuses to break. Instead, she engages her captor—who calls himself Sashi—in a dangerous psychological battle of truth and lies, probing into his secrets as he digs into hers. As Vishal races against time to find her, Sashi releases more videos to the public. Each one is a twisted interrogation. Each one paints Mitra not as a simple victim—but as a guilty person with a hidden past. The clues lead back twelve years, to a quiet town, a brutal murder, and a past neither Mitra nor Vishal ever escaped. This is not just the story of a kidnapping. It is the unraveling of a chain of murders spanning more than a decade—and an obsession that was waiting to be exposed. When the truth finally surfaces, who will be left standing?
