Zero Eater

V_Dhiman
The world is a game of numbers, and Han Jinsu is a rounding error. Since the "Veils" tore through reality, humanity has been defined by a single metric: Mana Capacity (MCAP). For the elite, it is a ticket to godhood. For Han Jinsu, a Porter with a permanent MCAP of 0.00, it is a life sentence of invisibility and ridicule. As a "Null-Boy" for the prestigious Iron-Blood Guild, he is nothing more than human luggage—until the day the numbers stop making sense. During a routine sweep of a C-Rank dungeon, an S-Rank anomaly—an Abyssal Arbiter—manifests. Trapped and betrayed by his own team, Jinsu is used as a sacrificial decoy. He is left to die in the dark, a shadow-claw pierced through his heart. But you cannot subtract from Zero. At the brink of death, a jagged, glitching system awakens within him: The Nihil Engine. It doesn't offer him levels, quests, or traditional skills. It offers him Erasure. Now, Jinsu has returned from the grave with a hunger that mana cannot satisfy. He doesn't just defeat his enemies; he consumes their existence, converting their power into Void Saturation. From the back-alley "Black-Market" dungeons to the gilded halls of the Nine Pillars—the corrupt titans who rule the world—Jinsu begins a cold, calculated ascent. The hunters believe they are at the top of the food chain. They are wrong. A glitch has entered the system, and it is coming to delete everything they’ve built. Warning: This system is not designed for your survival; every step toward godhood is a step away from your humanity.

Is It Wrong to Try to Tame Monsters in a Dungeon? (Written seriously)

Important Notice: This is a more seriously written version of my other story of the same title. It is written in an attempt to realize the potential I was wasting in the idea of a tamer. It was only possible because RikuKage helped me with suggestions for the foundation of the plot and the balancing of the skills. Go check out his works, might see something you want to read there. Important Notice 2: The style might change as this is the first story I tried to find a specific style with. I had ruined it by using a bot to assist me on the first 6 or so chapters. The style change might be somewhat drastic because of that. Once I found a style to settle with, I will rewrite the early chapters in said style. -------------- Finding himself in a world he knows little about, a young adult tries to find his bearings. He ventures the wilds in the company of unlikely people and heads to the place where all gather, where many trials await him. -------------- What you will read below is included in the auxiliary disclaimer chapter that will include other things. Though not necessary, I recommend reading the disclaimer chapter. Currently, the update schedule is going to be in batches, where I upload a chapter per day (8PM GMT+3) starting from Saturdays, until the chapters of that batch run out. Another very important thing is that the story starts with a lot of build-up. Be aware that the first 17 chapters will be before he reaches Orario.
