[Ist Skill Devour Successful]
______
"They say a man's skills are honed over a lifetime, but what if he could devour them all in an instant?"

Ryuen Takeru, a skilled, retired assassin, decides to pursue a better job that would keep him away from the dark life he once led.

However, after a while, that peace was shattered when an unexpected train ride derailed reality itself, throwing him into a world and a life he had always hated.

Ryuen sighed heavily. "Leap over buildings, huh? That's a tomorrow problem," he muttered nonchalantly, tossing his legs off the chair.

Rubbing the back of his neck, he mumbled under his breath, "Looks like the meat task will have to be today's focus."
