Dexter: Anatomy of a Killer

SrCuervo
Larry Luk is a brilliant, meticulous, and cold forensic expert whose mind operates like a precise machine, capable of unraveling the deepest secrets of a crime scene with unsettling ease. Despite his exceptional skills as a criminal profiler, abilities that could have secured him a place in the FBI, Larry made an inexplicable choice to join the Miami Metropolitan Police Department instead. His colleagues see him as a prodigy, someone whose deductive skills verge on the inhuman. But behind his impeccable professionalism lies a dangerous obsession: learning from the killers who always leave something behind. Larry does not seek justice. He feels no horror at the crimes he analyzes, nor indignation toward the murderers he pursues. On the contrary, he studies them with a disturbing fascination. Every case is a lesson, every mistake a clue to perfecting his own method. Because he doesn’t just analyze them… he begins to identify with them. However, something inside him holds him back. A trace of humanity clings to the remnants of a life he once had, to a family that someone he is searching for took away from him. Larry despises the world around him, a world where criminals don’t just destroy each other but drag the innocent down into their spiral of perversion and death. Why can’t he do the same? Why can’t he kill? "If we’re all going to die anyway, who would care if I dedicated my perfection to the art of murder?" As those around him fail to notice the signs, Larry follows an increasingly dark path. The line between justice and crime blurs, and the question is no longer if he will fall into darkness… but when. "I can be a god if I choose to..." And when that day comes, there will be no footprints. No traces. No Larry Luk. Only the perfect killer will remain. ...

Apocalypse Online: Starting with an SSS-level Gluttony Talent

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.
