Chapter 1: The Silent Thief of Fate
Location: White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Huo Yuhao's Attic
The cold was the first thing he felt. Then, the hunger. Then, the memories—two sets of them crashing together in his skull.
Huo Yuhao—no, Ayush—gasped, clutching his thin blanket. Memories of a roof in India, of a glowing phone screen, of rage at a stolen destiny. Memories of a life of neglect, a dead mother, and a Spirit yet to awaken. The two souls fused, crackling with a unified, bitter will: This time, it will be different.
As if answering the vow, the world shattered.
[CONNECTION ESTABLISHED. DIMENSIONAL BARRIER BREACHED.]
[PRIMARY HOST IDENTIFIED: HUO YUHAO (AYUSH KUMAR). SOUL SIGNATURE: READER'S DEFIANCE.]
[BINDING SOUL... BOUND.]
[INITIALIZING THE 'SILENT COLLECTOR' PROTOCOL.]
[PROTOCOL: ALL RESOURCES, ENERGY, AND INSIGHTS GENERATED BY TARGET 'HOSTS' WILL BE TAXED AT A RATE OF 2x FEEDBACK. THE TAX WILL BE SILENTLY DIVERTED TO THE PRIMARY HOST.]
[THE COLLECTION IS AUTOMATIC. THE TARGETS MUST REMAIN UNAWARE. NO DIRECT COMMUNICATION IS PERMITTED.]
A blue, translucent screen seared itself into Huo Yuhao's vision. It showed his name and a simple counter.
Host: Huo Yuhao
Cultivation Base:Mortal, Spirit Eye (Unawakened)
Accumulated 'Feedback' Resources:0
Linked 'Resources':0/7
A map of the cosmos flared below it. Seven dim stars, scattered across impossible distances, pulsed with faint light. As he watched, a silent, invisible command shot from his screen, traveling along threads of fate no one could see.

Across the Multiverse, the Bindings Occurred. Silently.
1. Xiao Yan felt a sudden, brief chill in his Sea of Consciousness during alchemy, dismissing it as a fluctuation of the Green Lotus Core Heart Flame.
2. Ye Ming, in meditation, felt his newly consolidated cultivation realm solidify just a fraction faster than it should have. He credited his own strong will.
3. Lin Dong sensed the Devouring Ancestral Symbol twitch, as if absorbing a wisp of energy from the void. He assumed it was natural.
4. Yang Kai, flying through space, felt a minor spatial ripple pass through him, unnoticeable amidst the chaos of the Star Boundary.
5. Wang Lin, ever paranoid, spent hours searching for a flaw in his recent breakthrough. He found nothing. The "leak" was too fundamental to the system of reality itself.
6. Shi Hao roared with laughter after a battle, feeling the life essence of his foe strengthen him robustly. He didn't notice an additional, tiny sliver of pure energy vanish into the ether.
7. Yun Che, nursing his hatred, felt a cold surge of determination. He believed it was his own resolve hardening.
In each case, the binding was seamless. No screens appeared for them. No voices spoke. They felt nothing of the connection, only faint, explainable sensations in their own cultivation journeys. The 'Silent Collector' Protocol was perfect.

Back in the Attic.
Huo Yuhao watched his screen. One by one, the seven dim stars on the cosmic map brightened to a steady silver. The status changed.
Linked 'Resources': 7/7 (ACTIVE)
Then, it began.
[NOTIFICATION: RESOURCE 'XIAO YAN' HAS SUCCESSFULLY REFINED A 'QI GATHERING PILL'. FEEDBACK TAX INITIATED.]
[CALCULATING... 2x FEEDBACK EXTRACTED.]
[CONVERTING... YOU HAVE GAINED: 'PURE DOU QI ESSENCE' (LOW-GRADE) x2.]
A warm, gentle energy—foreign yet perfectly adaptable—flooded Huo Yuhao's withered meridians. He shuddered. It was a feeling ten times better than the best meal he'd ever scavenged. His own minute spirit power, not even at rank 1, trembled and grew.
[NOTIFICATION: RESOURCE 'LIN DONG' HAS COMPREHENDED A FRAGMENT OF THE 'DEVOURING INTENT'. FEEDBACK TAX INITIATED.]
[CALCULATING... 2x FEEDBACK EXTRACTED.]
[CONVERTING... YOU HAVE GAINED: 'MINOR INSIGHT INTO ENERGY ABSORPTION'.]
A flash of understanding—how to draw the world's energy not just into the body, but to make the body hungry for it—clicked in Huo Yuhao's mind.
It did not stop.
[RESOURCE 'SHI HAO' HAS DEVOURED BLOOD ESSENCE... FEEDBACK TAXED.] → [YOU GAIN: 'VITAL LIFE FORCE' x2.]
[RESOURCE 'YE MING' HAS REINFORCED HIS MARTIAL HEART... FEEDBACK TAXED.]→ [YOU GAIN: 'WILLPOWER FRAGMENT' x2.]
A storm of stolen resources, small but incredibly pure, began to rain into Huo Yuhao's core. His body, once frail, hummed. His mind, once clouded with despair, sharpened. His Spirit Eyes, still dormant, itched with power.
He looked at the 'Accumulated Feedback' counter. It was no longer zero. It ticked upward with every breath the seven legends took in their own worlds.
A slow, deep smile—the first true smile of Huo Yuhao's life—spread across his face. It was not a kind smile. It was the smile of a card player who has been secretly dealt the entire deck.
They cultivate. They fight. They struggle for every drop of power, he thought, the fusion of Ayush's modern cunning and Huo Yuhao's innate resilience solidifying into a cold, steely resolve. And for every step they take... I take two. Bina bataye. Bina kisi ko pata chale.
He closed his eyes, feeling the Dou Qi, the Vital Force, the Willpower fragments circulating within him, strengthening him in a way the Douluo Continent had no name for.
The silent thief of fate had begun his work. And the heavens of eight worlds were none the wiser.
End of Chapter 1.

Next Major Feedback Event:Pending Resource Breakthrough.
The system works exactly as you asked: silent, secret, and overwhelmingly in favor of Huo Yuhao. Ready for Chapter 2, where the first major "level-up" from one of the Resources triggers a significant feedback event?
