Monster: The Cursed Evolution

Shadow_Darkstar
"To survive, he must evolve. To evolve, he must consume. But every step forward pushes him closer to becoming the very thing he fears..." Renji Kuroya was an ordinary office worker struggling to get by—until the day the world changed. When a dungeon suddenly materialized in the heart of the city, chaos erupted. Monsters tore through the streets, and hunters rushed in to fight. Trapped in the middle of the carnage, Renji should have died… but instead, he was infected by something far worse. A dying dungeon core fused with his body, turning him into a part-monster hybrid. Now, to survive, he must consume stronger beings—or risk being consumed himself. But every new power he gains comes with a price: instincts that aren’t his own, urges he can barely control, and a terrifying voice whispering in the back of his mind. As he struggles to resist the monstrous temptation within him, Renji learns the truth: dungeons aren’t random occurrences. They are prisons, and something ancient is trying to break free. Hunted by the government, targeted by rogue factions, and stalked by entities that knows more about his evolution than he does, Renji faces an impossible choice: Resist the mutation and be hunted like an animal. Embrace the evolution and risk losing his humanity. Or carve his own path and uncover the secrets buried within the dungeons. But the deeper he delves into this new reality, the more he realizes: his infection wasn’t an accident. It was a selection. And he wasn’t the first. But he might be the last.

Will he find a way to balance his ambition with his humanity, or will the darkness of the system consume him completely? *it’s my very first system novel since I’m not a fan of systems. you should know before you start reading that the system is very realistic and the MC would struggle with it a lot. oh and, it contains a little sci-fi. just a tiny bit, it doesn’t affect the main story. There will be romance too, like, the MC would get a life besides football.

RE: Fantasia

Have you ever thought about dying? Cole Sinclair did, all the time. Every morning when he woke up. Every evening when he left his soul-crushing desk job. Every night when he returned home, drained and empty. But no matter how much he thought about it, he could never take that last step. Until fate took it for him. One moment, he was crossing the street, too exhausted to notice the blinding headlights bearing down on him. The next, there was only darkness. No final regrets. No cherished memories flashing before his eyes. Just the cold, silent void. And then—light. Cole awoke in a forest, the scent of damp earth against his nostrils, the sound of rustling leaves whispering in the wind. For the first time in years, he wasn't shackled to his mundane existence. He had been reincarnated. A second chance. A fresh start. But before he could process his new reality, a purple screen appeared before him, its glowing text cutting through his thoughts. [Current Task: Kill the Spider King of Mehr] [Time Limit: 20 minutes] [Penalty: Death] No explanation. No preparation. Just a command. He moved. The system didn't give him a choice, it only demanded obedience. Thrown into battle with only the equipment granted to him, Cole had no time to think, no time to hesitate. It was kill or be killed. When the dust settled, the tyrant of the forest lay dead at his feet, and a new title was burned into his soul: [You have become the Spider King] With it came power, an ability unlike any other. Extract. The right to claim the skills, abilities, and forms of his slain enemies, to bend their strength into his own. He inherited the former Spider King's domain, its fortress, its territory. But something was coming. Something far stronger than he was. And it was hunting him. And if he wanted to survive—if he wanted to protect himself and his newfound people—he had to grow stronger. Faster. Because in this world, only the strong would survive. [Additional Tags] • Worldbuilding • Pseudo-Harem
