Abyssal Apex: The Tactile Ascension
By @char a
In a world fractured by the Void Fall, humanity survives inside walled megacities, hunted by cosmic horrors. Lin Xian is a low-tier scavenger left for dead in the radioactive Outlands. Instead of dissolving, his flesh merges with an ancient, forbidden entity, granting him the terrifying ability to transform his limbs into adaptive, predatory tentacles. This cheat allows him to consume alien DNA, replicate enemy skills, and regenerate from lethal wounds. However, every transformation erodes his sanity. To rescue his sister from the corrupt high-district oligarchs who rule the city, Lin must scale the societal ladder using his monstrous power. But the deeper he descends into the city's underbelly, the more he realizes the wall is not meant to keep the monsters out - it is designed to keep humanity in as cattle. Lin must master his horrific anatomy before the beast inside completely devours his remaining humanity.
