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?

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

Infinite Skill Devourer

Yuki's voice came as a whisper—low and devoid of mercy.

Haruka's eyes widened, and she slowly turned her head towards the window without breathing.

She didn't even dare. She was terrified that if she did, Yuki would freeze her without batting an eye.

Just then, Ryuen poked his head down, hanging upside down from the ledge with a smile.

In his hand, he held the blue bow, the arrow already nocked and drawn.

"H...hi. Uh, you weren't..." Haruka trailed off when Yuki's fingers crawled up her arm.

Then swung over her arm over her shoulder, causing a short gasp to escape her lips.

"Don't think I didn't hear what you said. I'm not actually mad at you."

"What you said when you thought I left, just showed how much of a green snake you are."

"I'm sorry. I was just angry. I promise I won't do it again," Haruka apologized, with sincerity laced in her tone.
