Beastman

Draven Kane, former Crimson Knight of Voldimore, is executed for the massacre of his own clan — a crime manufactured by Maren, the clan healer who believed she was saving him. Reborn through the Blood God System, an ancient imprisoned entity sealed inside the Kalu bloodline for six generations, Draven discovers that every enemy he absorbs makes him permanently stronger. But the system is not his. Shikakiro, an ageless architect who has been dismantling bloodlines for thirty years, has partial access to everything Draven feeds it through a hidden sigil placed without his knowledge. As Draven fights to grow faster than Shikakiro can harvest, manage a Corruption threshold that risks silencing his dead clan’s voices forever, and navigate a city that has been publicly storied against him, he returns to Voldimore with one question that matters more to him than revenge. Did Elara choose to believe the frame Maren built around him — or was she simply handed a weapon and pointed? The answer to that question will determine whether the man who came back from the execution ground still exists, or whether what the Blood God System is making him has already replaced him entirely.
