Becoming Dungeon Fodder

Xander woke up in a cultivation world as Yuan, a talentless outer disciple. Beaten half to death, stuck at the lowest realm and one step away from becoming a nameless corpse. In this world, strength decided everything. And he had none. So he chose a path no one respected. Alchemy.

"Your existence is a plague, Jin’er. But your marrow... that is a treasure." ​For eighteen years, Lin Jin was locked away, labeled a "Living Coffin." His body naturally emitted a corrosive poison that rotted everything he touched. He lived in agony, believing his family was searching for a cure. ​He was wrong. On the day he thought he would be saved, his father drove a hollow spike into his spine. The truth? He was never a son. He was livestock. A vessel raised solely to harvest his rare "Corrosion Marrow" to fuel his genius brother’s cultivation. ​Drained, betrayed, and left to die in a collapsing dungeon, Lin Jin heard a voice echo from the empty hollow of his bones. An ancient, forbidden entity that had been sleeping within him all along. ​[They stole your blood? Then take their lives. They broke your bones? Then crush their heavens.] ​The chains shattered. The poison didn't disappear—it evolved. Lin Jin rose from the ashes. He no longer cultivated Spirit Qi. He cultivated Ruin. ​Everyone thought he was trash. Until he turned their legendary swords into rust and their bodies into dust. ​When power corrodes the soul, survival becomes a choice.

"Just leave him. He’s a scavenger—his life is worth less than the loot he carries." Those were the last words Lucian heard before his teammates slammed the dungeon’s iron doors, leaving him broken and bleeding in the dark. To the world’s elite Hunters, Lucian was just a "human trash bag," a Rank-F nobody meant to clean up their messes. But as the monsters closed in to feast on his flesh, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind: [Ding! Life Force at 1%. Survival Instinct Detected.] [The God-Level Scavenger System is initializing...] [Target Detected: Corpse of a High-Rank Demon.] [Would you like to 'Recycle' it? (Y/N)] With nothing left to lose, Lucian reached out. [Recycle Successful! You have gained: 1,000+ Strength and the SSS-Rank Skill: Abyssal Devourer!] While others fight for glory, Lucian grows stronger by picking up what they throw away. Broken legendary swords? Recycle into Divine Artifacts. Trash-tier mana stones? Synthesize into Origin Cores. The corpses of gods? Extract their immortality. Now, Lucian is returning from the abyss. He isn't just coming back to survive—he's coming back to recycle every Hunter who ever looked down on him. "You called me trash? Fine. Let me show you how a scavenger cleans up the world."

Han Jihan, a bottom-tier Porter left for dead in a dungeon, survives by signing a "god-tier" contract with the mysterious Death Bank. Instead of mana, his powers cost lifespan and physical health, inflicting agonizing penalties like memory loss and organ failure. Guided by Luna, an Auditor who becomes his moral anchor, Jihan rises as the famous "Miracle Hunter." The triumph is short-lived. When Jihan finally clears his sister’s medical debt, the Bank cruelly seizes Luna as a "late fee." To save her, Jihan is forced to become a Reaper, hunting innocent Hunters to pay off the interest. From this rock bottom, Jihan orchestrates a brilliant rebellion. Using his Reaper authority, he gathers "Glitch Essence" to trigger a dimensional inflation, aiming to collapse the Death Bank’s economy from the inside out. As the Bank begins "liquidating" Earth, a physically decaying Jihan turns against the Director. Despite his hair turning white and his heart failing, he dismantles the system’s servers during an apocalyptic invasion. At the peak of the collapse, the system issues one final notification: his life debt has been replaced with an infinite bonus balance. Death Mortgage is a gritty, dark-comedy action story about a man sacrificing his humanity to destroy a cosmic corporate tyranny.

Raeshan was an ordinary college student who wanted nothing more than a quiet life. One day, he woke up inside a rundown shop in Dungeon Town, a place surrounded by dangerous dungeons and desperate adventurers. He had no strength, no magic, and no way to survive in this cruel world. The body he possessed belonged to a failed shop owner buried in debt, with nothing left to sell. Hunger became a daily problem, and tomorrow was never guaranteed. Just when he was about to give up, a system appeared. Not a warrior system. Not a cultivation system. A Manga Store Owner System. In this world, manga is more than entertainment. Those who read it might gain insight, learn skills, or experience sudden breakthroughs. Adventurers who can’t survive the dungeons come searching for answers between pages. While others fight monsters, Raeshan builds his future behind a counter, selling stories that quietly change lives. This is a story about survival, patience, and growth in a dangerous fantasy world, where knowledge can be just as powerful as steel. --- Name: Manga Store Owner System Tag: Action, Adventure, Beautiful Female Character, Store Owner, System, Fantasy, Manga, Slice of life, Magic, Kingdom, Noble, Dragon, Elf, Demon, Rich, Secret Organisation, Adventure Guild, Male lead, Handsome Lead.
