Spectetarian

Noel Lin understood love better than anyone.

A gentle soul shattered by a lifetime of abandonment, he learned that the only way to keep people close was to make them part of himself. So he ate pieces of his victims with tears streaming down his face, whispering, "Now you'll never be alone again."

When police bullets ended his life, he thought it was over.

But he woke up in the body of Zion Qin, in a world of heroes and superpowers. And he'd been given the perfect gift: the Spectectarian, the ability to devour spirits and bind their souls to him forever.

Noel wept with joy.

He began hunting immediately, consuming ghosts and monsters with childlike tenderness. Each soul he swallowed became warm inside him: a voice, a companion, a fragment he could protect forever.

"You're safe now," he whispered to each one, blood on his lips. "And together, we'll save everyone."

His dream was heartbreakingly simple: become immortal and rule the world with absolute power. No more abandoned children. No more broken families. No more suffering.

He would crush every nation beneath his fist. Devour every soul that resisted. Force humanity to understand, to accept, to love, whether they wanted to or not.

Because only through total domination could he protect everyone from the pain that destroyed him.

Heroes see a monster. Villains see madness.

But Noel sees salvation.

And he will rule this world, even if he has to break it first.

The worst villain in the history of humanity has been unleashed upon the world.
