Magic, monsters, and powerful beings dominate the land, with ruthless forces waging war for supremacy. And Ricky? He possesses a terrifying ability—he can drain lifespan from any living creature and use it to evolve.A single bite can grant him hours. A feast?..... Years!!Now, in a forest filled with predators and beside a village on the brink of destruction, Ricky must climb the evolutionary ladder—from insignificant pest to a calamity that could devour the world itself.But when his first real meal triggers a mass sacrifice, the world mistakes him for a rising Demon Lord. Bounties are placed on his head. Armies march to hunt him down. And lurking in the shadows, a forbidden power calls to him, promising a path beyond mere survival—one that could reshape reality itself.In a world where everything is prey to something greater, something horrendous… he will rise to become the apex.

Failing to awaken his ability to connect his soul to the divine, he is unable to use the supernatural powers granted to all members of the Divinity Clan.Fearing the consequences of being exposed, Dhein did his best in hiding his real circumstances. He proceeded to trick people using rehearsed lines and fake confidence into thinking that he is the strongest human in the history of mankind.And it worked. For years, he became the most feared individual not just in the empire, but the whole world. His excellent lies coupled with the extremely unlikely events that favored Dhein had cemented his position as the strongest.Until one day, he was required to face the scions of the other four governing clans in battle.
