"Ever" is an adverb meaning at at any time, at all times, or always. It is used in conjunction with a verb to modify (or describe) it. You can use it in negatives, but it is more common to use "never" in such contexts. Ex. I won't ever eat meat again, I'm turning vegan. Ex. I have not ever eaten fish in my life. -> I have never eaten fish in my life.
