The World-Ending Horror Lives Within Me, I Grow Stronger by Devouring Horrors

On the night his entire village sacrificed him to appease a descending horror, Lin Ye received an unexpected twist of fate. The D-rank Horror Lord that arrived was hardly enough to satisfy his appetite. Ever since the Ancestor of Horrors System took residence in his mind, Lin Ye has been anything but normal. While others tremble and flee at the sight of spectral entities, his eyes light up with predatory hunger. By devouring horror cores, he strengthens his physique; by consuming horror techniques, he gains supernatural abilities; and by accumulating fear points, he levels up without limit. Everything he eats makes him stronger. Bound to an altar in a dilapidated temple in Stone Village, Lin Ye was offered as food to a vicious horror. Instead of meeting his end, he snapped his hunting knots, crushed the creature with his bare hands, and devoured its core raw, splattering black blood across his face. When the village chief attempted to manipulate him with claims of gratitude for eighteen years of upbringing, Lin Ye coldly crushed the man’s throat. With a chilling smile, he declared that he would send the entire village down to accompany the Horror Lord. Joining the Management Bureau’s lowest-ranked Worry-Free Team, Lin Ye turned dangerous missions into feeding opportunities. While his peers struggled to survive, he raided horror nests like a banquet. He swept through urban horror dens, hijacked all the missions from the top three prodigies, cleared E-rank horrors by the dozen, and treated D-rank horrors as mere snacks. When arrogant prodigies came to challenge him, Lin Ye licked the horror blood from his blade, his gray eyes gleaming with madness. "Rules?" he scoffed. "To me, anything edible is just rations." The world condemns him as a monster more evil than the horrors themselves. Yet, no one realizes the terrifying truth: the more ferociously he feeds, the faster the World-Ending Ancestor of Horrors sleeping within him awakens.
