DING! 

[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.

A world teetering on the brink of ruin, destroyed by an apocalypse as a result of the unending war between multiple races.

Unfortunately, the post-apocalypse had already begun.

Ryuen finds himself captured, exchanged, and made to serve kings of different nations.

Yet fate had more in store for him.

A devastating twist, capable of destroying or elevating him—the one thing he had overlooked as normal until the moment he was informed.

A curse.

Possible reincarnation?

[Skill Devourer Activated: Plunder, Consume, Adapt, Evolve.]

Nevertheless, for everything given, something must be taken—or perhaps sacrificed.

Infinite Skill Devourer

Ryuen's breath caught in his throat as he read the lips of the figure.

"Obtain the thirtieth skill, and then I'll show myself, Sato."

His mind raced. Sato. It had been years since anyone had called him that name.

Except for the voices in his head and his sister, no one else knew—or maybe he had never paid enough attention to realize if anyone did.

But he had never told anyone that name. Never dared to. He didn't see the point.

Before he could process it further, the figure vanished—or at least, that's what it looked like.

But he could still feel it was there.

Then, an arm suddenly landed on his shoulder.

Daiki's voice shattered the silence, causing Ryuen to frown.

He sighed and turned toward Daiki with a relaxed expression and a slight smile—one that didn't quite reach his eyes.
