A wise old grandpa in a ring. An ancient weapon to unleash one's true potential. An unorthodox teacher who emerges from obscurity to provide heroes with enlightenment. In a cultivation world, those who would rise to the top usually have some sort of advantage that propels their rapid ascent. Things that many would offer their souls to obtain.

Ebon Dirge, a fallen devil descended from the highest realms of the divine, is more than happy to accept their payment. Thwarted by the machinations of the mightiest beings in the universe, he is forced to begin anew in the lands of the weakest mortals. To prepare for the ultimate confrontation, he has hatched a plot to steal the best weapon of all: destiny.

Whether it is a downtrodden youth in the savage wilds, a prince driven to desperation by the royal web tangled around him, or the students and staff of an illustrious magical academy... all should beware what they wish for. They just might get it.

For a price, of course.

PROGRAMMING NOTE

This is a wholly rewritten version of the novel that originally began in 2018, not a copy-paste of those original chapters.

ABOUT THE NOVEL

Devourer of Destiny is an exploration of cultivation story tropes and foibles. It features:

- Cultivation stuff. The story is a satirical take on xianxia and xuanhuan staples and tropes.
- An irredeemably evil central character.
- Multiple POVs. A lot of them, although the central character remains central and will always have the lion's share.

POSTING SCHEDULE

TBD. Still working it out.
