The man who had suddenly appeared with a power level of a legendary rank was named Aktao. He was born in a common village of the demon continent. Aktao had a big flaw with his physic. Even though his race was supposed to have large and glorious horns, his horns were extremely small. So much so that they were almost invisible.

For this flaw of his physic, he was bullied by other demon children of his same age. Even some of the adult demons looked at him with mocking expression. This situation was a terrible experience for a child like him and it made his mind to become a bit twisted.

After growing up a little bit, he also found that his physical strength was also very weak even though demons of his race were supposed to have more physical strength than other demon species. By all this set backs, Aktao was almost losing his mind.

But then one day, a ruin was found just a little bit away from his village. And with his child like curiocity, Aktao went to investigate the ruin. That was when his fate took a turn.

This ruin was already explored by the adults of the village. They had found it to have only a few weak monsters and the treasures found inside it were also not that valuable. So there was no restriction on the entry of this ruin. For that reason, even a child like Aktao was able to easily enter this place.

But Aktao managed to find a hidden part of the ruin completely coincidentally that all the people from his village had missed. Aktao was super happy about it and started to explore this ruin hoping to find some kind of powerful item.

He did not encounter any monsters or beasts along the way but the more he went in, the more uncomfortable he started to feel. Soon pitch black miasma appeared before him and in his despair, Aktao noticed that without him realising, he was already completely covered in the miasma.

This would definitely kill any normal children and Aktao also felt like it was the end of the line for him. But miraculously, in this exact time, Aktao's passive ability was awakened and activated that he had no idea about.

The vast amount of miasma present in the ruin started to flow toward Aktao in faster and faster speed. All this miasma was getting absorbed by him. Normally absorbing something as dangerous as miasma of unknown origin was fatal but surprisingly nothing happened to Aktao.

After several hours had passed, Aktao found himself unconscious but the whole ruin was now free of all the miasma. After waking up, to his astonishment, Aktao noticed that he was completely unharmed. Not only that but his level had suddenly went from 3 to 104. This was something insane that he had a hard time believing.

But soon Aktao started jumping in joy as he had realised that he had the power to absorb evil miasma to strengthen himself. This was something truly amazing and Aktao became happy as he looked at his newly awakened special ability called "Evil Eater".

After this he continued to explore the ruin and managed to find the reason why so much miasma was here. It turned out that an evil cult was doing a special ritual here. But the amount of miasma created from the ritual was much stronger than their expectation and none of the members of the evil cult were able to withstand the miasma. The miasma that Aktao had absorbed was the same one as that time.

He also managed to find the ritual method that was responsible for the creation of the miasma. But other than that nothing else was in the ruin. But still Aktao returned back to the village filled with happiness with his newfound power.

...

But even with his newfound power, Aktao find the process of leveling up to be extremely hard for him. So after turning over 25 years old, Aktao still found himself to be stuck in level 149. He was unable to cross the barrier of C rank.

This frustrated Aktoa a lot and the sensation of absorbing maisma and quickly becoming stronger appeared in his mind again and again. One day, he made up his mind to do whatever it takes to reach the C rank.

He already had a plan ready which to perform the ritual that he had found in the ruin to create miasma for him to absorb. And he decided to do just that.

There was a reason why this ritual had created a lot of miasma and was considered to be evil. That was because it needed a lot of sacrifice of living people. As for who Aktao was planning to sacrifice, it was all the people of his village.

He was already the strongest person of the village so capturing all the people of the village was not a hard work. His heart was not moved at all when he disfigured his fellow villagers including his family members and used them as sacrifice to create the strongest possible miasma. The things he did were heinous but the effect was also very good. Very strong miasma started to appear as the ritual continued.

With his power, it was possible for Aktao to find some bandits or people not related to him for the ritual. But from what he managed to understand from the things written with the technique was the fact that using people closely related to him would increase the quality of the miasma. That was the reason why Aktao decided to perform the ritual with the villagers who were related to him closely.

With this ritual, he did manage to break the level boundary and reach the C rank. Not only that but reached level 188 which was almost the highest point of the C rank. After seeing the drastic results, Aktao immediately decided that he would never try to level up in a normal way anymore and would completely start depending on this ability of his.

If he could not the find evil energies to feast on then he would sacrifice people to turn them into evil energy. So he became extremely vile in this process and created many tragedies. He always picked on the people were weaker than him and avoided the people who were stronger. That was how he had spend more than a thousand years to reach the ranks of a legendary powerhouse after absorbing a huge amount of evil energy.

But after reaching the legendary ranks, leveling up was extremely hard for someone of his strength and low quality evil energies became completely useless for him. That was why he was in this city and was plotting to release the evil energy generated from the clash of peak legendary powerhouses that was sealed below the city and wanted to use that to become even stronger.

But his stroke of luck came to an end when he encountered an disinterested Elena, who found him to be extremely scummy. So would he be able to leave the city with his life intact ?
